"I have to say, you do have some skills."
The sound of applause came from behind, and another Victor Spot slowly walked out of the door of the laboratory building with a look of slight approval on his face.
To belittle one's opponent and elevate oneself is the lowest form of behavior, and even he, who is too proud, would not even do it.
The stronger the opponent, the more glorious the winner, so he did not hide his praise for Xia Xu's performance.
After all, it is his opponent who has repeatedly made him suffer losses. If the opponent appears to be incompetent, doesn't that mean that he is even more incompetent
"So, do you want me to continue?"
Xia Xu raised his eyebrows at Victor.
"No need to bother."
Victor's real body walked up and snapped his fingers, and then the lifelike robot that looked almost exactly like him began to change immediately.
The entire face pops up, revealing a gap about three fingers wide from the side. From the gap, various parts of varying sizes can be seen inside, the most conspicuous of which are two highly realistic eyeballs.
The high-end suit that originally looked normal, along with the skin that was no different from his skin color, also cracked into pieces at this moment. The chest cavity separated and expanded from both sides, revealing the densely packed circuits and components inside.
"I call him Pioneer One."
Victor introduced himself with a slight pride, then looked at Xia Xu's reaction with a faint smile.
But Xia Xu ignored him and just looked back and forth at Pioneer No. 1.
"Servo motor, harmonic reduction, laser sensor..."
Backed by the Sport Group, Victor is indeed blessed with unique advantages in the field of robotics research, and the components it uses are basically the most advanced in the world.
Many of them are products in the experimental stage, and some are even truly high-tech products whose exports are restricted by various countries.
However, Xia Xu could naturally recognize the various common parts and structures at a glance.
After all, he has been maintaining a light brain overclock for a long time and often deals with top geniuses like Walker. In terms of knowledge reserves, he is really no worse than these people.
But beyond the norm, this robot also has a large number of structures that he finds difficult to understand, or can guess but feel incredible.
For example, the two eyeballs of this robot.
Although it can be seen that it does have a camera function and is responsible for inputting external images, this thing still seems to be a laser transmitter.
Ordinary laser emitters are not uncommon. They are actually used in various detection and scanning equipment, and are even used in large equipment such as laser cutting machines.
But it is obvious that these two eyeballs are not low-power laser sensors, but two high-energy laser emitters, enough to cause thermal cutting.
But the problem is that this thing consumes terribly high amounts of energy. With current energy technology, can it be miniaturized and mounted on a humanoid robot
And on that equally outstretched little arm, that is an obvious Gaussian acceleration track, right
It is obvious that Pioneer 1's arm can be used as some kind of electromagnetic weapon, which can launch ammunition through electromagnetic acceleration. It can be steel nails, steel balls, or metal needles thinner than cow hair.
The principle of this weapon is not as complicated as ordinary people imagine. In fact, even an ordinary technology geek can make a simple finished product by hand, but its power is pitifully weak.
But the same question remains, what powers this thing
In order for electromagnetic weapons to be practical enough, without saying too much, the speed of the projectile should at least reach the speed of sound. After all, ordinary pistols can easily reach this speed.
However, if we want to use electromagnetic tracks, especially ultra-short distance electromagnetic tracks, to achieve this, the energy consumption will be extremely high with current technology.
Ordinary batteries are barely enough to power the robot's normal activities, let alone support energy-intensive devices like Gauss guns and high-energy lasers.
"How is it, not bad, right?"
Seeing a slight change in Xia Xu's expression as he wished, Victor introduced himself complacently:
"The Pioneer One's eyes can be used as high-energy laser launchers, and its arms are Gauss cannons. This robot alone is enough to easily destroy an entire company.
Its arms can carry up to 1 ton, and its legs can carry up to 1.5 tons. With its high-strength alloy shell and fearlessness, it can easily beat you up in close combat."
After that, he did not forget to add two more complaints: "Honestly speaking, letting living people wear armor and go to the battlefield, especially for someone like you to fight in person, this is too low.
Robots are the future, both for work and for war.”
"You can certainly choose to never set foot on a battlefield."
Xia Xu shrugged: "But what if the enemy's target is you? What if he has already come to you?"
"I'm not going to give them that chance."
Victor also shrugged.
But this is a bit harsh.
Let’s put aside the debate about which is better, real people or robots, but Xia Xu’s question is very realistic.
Robots that do not need to be actually sacrificed in war are of course more suitable than real people, but if the application scenario is self-protection, it is obvious that any bodyguard can never be more reliable than one's own military force.
“I hope you can keep this thought in mind.”
Xia Xu had no intention of arguing with Victor.
As a protagonist, Victor Spott's life is destined to be not smooth sailing. He might be tied up in a small dark room and beaten with whips and candles by some villain one day.
I hope he can still maintain this idea as always.
Let’s put these aside for now. What he is more concerned about now is the obviously abnormal energy system of Pioneer 1.
"What new battery technology? Or some kind of cold fusion technology? But hasn't this thing been proven to be a scam long ago..."
Xia Xu continued to observe the internal structure of the Pioneer robot as his thoughts raced.
Nuclear energy technology is often accompanied by extremely high temperatures due to the huge amount of energy released and the current technical requirements. Therefore, nuclear power plants need special cooling and insulation measures.
So normally, nuclear power technology is impossible to appear in such a small robot. Even if it can be miniaturized enough to accommodate it and even if the effects of radiation can be eliminated, its high temperature is difficult to completely block in such a small space.
As for technologies like cold fusion, which is the type used in the movie Iron Man, this thing actually appeared a long time ago. Some scientists claimed to have completed a cold fusion reaction using palladium. The inspiration for the original Iron Man probably came from this.
However, it is basically certain that this is a scam, because neither the scientist who discovered this phenomenon nor the subsequent experimenters have been able to replicate this phenomenon. Everything exists only in the mouth of the person who made the claim.
Of course, with Victor's five-star physics talent, it is not impossible for him to truly develop this cold nuclear fusion technology.
"No, that's not right, what is this..."
Following the route of the pioneer robot and tracing its source, Xia Xu finally found its energy core.
But this is indeed an object that can shock him more than cold nuclear fusion.
