The future development direction of the group is a rather broad proposition.
In order to fight against threats from 20.5 light-years away, the future development focus of the Future People Group must be the universe. Even if the civilization on earth is destined to use "bows, arrows and spears" to fight against the "foreign guns and cannons" of aliens from outer space, it still has to sharpen its bows and spears.
As for threats from within humanity…
Maybe it would be better to release some news at the right time
I just don’t know if it will have the opposite effect...
Just when Jiang Chen was about to fall asleep thinking about it, Jane's holographic image appeared in Jiang Chen's hand and woke him up with a calm tone.
"Mr. Chairman, Dr. Amos would like to see you."
Jiang Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up from the chair, yawned and said.
"Amos? What's going on?"
"According to what he said, there seems to be a breakthrough in spiritual bridging technology—"
Jiang Chen suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Psychic bridging technology? Is it the technology that connects the circuit board through brain waves and transplants the soul to the machine?"
Perhaps because her understanding of the word soul was not deep enough, Jane took a second to analyze Jiang Chen's words, and then gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes."
"Tell him to wait for me, I'll go now!"
After leaving these words, Jiang Chen left the office with a happy brow, walked straight towards the elevator, and pressed the button for the underground floor. As the first truly black technology independently developed in the world, it was necessary for him to witness its birth in person.
…
Amos is indeed a genius.
Even Lin Ling, who has always been sharp-tongued, sincerely admitted this and commented on him as a genius who stood on the shoulders of giants but saw the scenery that giants could not see.
It is derived on the basis of neural access. By bringing in a brain wave collection device for amplification, you can remotely connect to the robot's body, just like a soul possessing it, and you can move the robot's hands and feet like your own hands.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was standing in Dr. Amos's laboratory, looking at himself sitting on a chair and wearing a helmet.
Not through a mirror, but through the robot's electronic eyes.
"How does it feel?"
Amos looked at "Jiang Chen" with wild eyes, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body...if robots had goosebumps.
“Overall, not bad…”
Looking at his metal hands, Jiang Chen moved his arms and fingers, and then moved his legs with interest.
It is almost the same as moving your own body. Although it is still quite different from the human body, in terms of flexibility alone, this mechanical body is not much worse than human limbs. The only flaw is that when staying in the robot's body, the whole person feels empty, as if something is missing.
Oh, and because there is no such thing as touch, Jiang Chen discovered during testing that this robot has poor power control.
For example, if you reach out to hold a cup, because you can't feel how much force is used, the cup will be crushed if you are not sure. I thought I would just jump slightly, but without paying attention, I hit the ceiling directly.
Later, under the guidance of Dr. Amos, Jiang Chen set the upper limit of the output power of each joint, thus avoiding such mistakes.
However, if each action requires setting parameters in advance, this will be a big hassle.
It seems that the "driver" of this mechanical avatar must undergo a long period of training before he can skillfully use this mechanical body.
Immediately afterwards, under the instructions of Dr. Amos, Jiang Chen completed a series of relatively complex actions such as running, weightlifting, boxing, and shooting in a large pile of experimental equipment.
While Dr. Amos was happily collecting experimental data, Jiang Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Regarding the application prospects of this kind of mechanical stand-in, his first thought was outer space construction!
There is no need for a spacesuit on board, and the robot can be remotely controlled to enter space through mental bridging technology to complete dangerous and complex tasks.
Although the cost of robots is many times higher than that of space suits, from the two perspectives of safety and work efficiency, the cost-effectiveness of using such robots in outer space is still quite high!
The relative motion speeds of objects moving in the universe are unimaginably high.
Even if a piece of meteorite fragment the size of a sesame seed hits the spacesuit at a relative speed of hundreds of Mach, the accident caused will be quite disastrous. It's just that because human space activities are not very frequent nowadays, this problem has not been exposed.
The solution in the apocalypse is to increase the strength of the spacesuit. Ordinary meteorite fragments will not feel much when they hit the body. After all, the probability of encountering fragments of a meteorite with a relative speed of several hundred Mach is not much higher than winning a lottery ticket. If you get hit by it, then you can blame yourself for being slow.
However, it is undeniable that using mental bridging technology to remotely connect robots controlled by the human brain to replace humans in outer space to perform dangerous tasks that are inconvenient for AI is indeed a highly feasible option. !
Another point is the supply issue.
Before the space elevator is completed, the cost of sending an astronaut to the sky is not small at all. A person has to eat, drink, and defecate alone in the sky. He cannot live in a zero-gravity environment for too long. He has to change shifts every three months. Therefore, the more people who stay in outer space, the greater the use of transportation resources for Star Ring trade.
You know, there is no space elevator built now, these people rely on rockets and landing capsules to travel back and forth!
Affected by this, the number of astronauts building space elevators in outer space is very limited. Although assisted by intelligent engineering equipment, many tasks still require people to do it, and the progress of the project has been very slow.
But if this thing can be used in outer space construction, the situation will be completely different. These robots can stay in outer space as long as they want. They only need to be equipped with a solar charger, and even the need to replenish daily supplies can be omitted.
After taking off his helmet, Jiang Chen turned his attention to Amos, who was processing data, and asked immediately.
“How long until the finished product?”
"This machine can be considered a finished product, although it is only a first-generation work." Amos picked up the robot, put it back on the fixed rack next to the laboratory and locked it, then smiled and patted its head, "Continue. The working time can be up to twenty-four hours. Although there are many flaws, there should be no problem if you make do with it.”
“How much does this machine cost?”
Speaking of costs, Amos scratched his messy hair sheepishly.
"Ahem, after all, it is a first-generation machine, and it is purely handmade... Well, if you don't take into account the research and development costs, it will probably be around 5 million US dollars."
Jiang Chen silently calculated the score in his mind.
It is definitely not possible to throw bare metal directly into space. In order to adapt to a specific working environment, specialized modifications are required. Calculating it this way, you should be able to get a mental bridge robot that can construct in space for 10 to 20 million US dollars.
There's something going on!
Having made up his mind, Jiang Chen immediately spoke.
"Design a machine that can be used in space... What is the name of this machine?"
"The X-1 robot," Amos added.
"Well, I hope you can design an X-A1 robot that can be used in space. Is there any way to do it?" Jiang Chen looked at Amos and said seriously.
"Theoretically it's not difficult, but what about communication in space?" Amos asked.
Hearing this question, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
"Haha, my friend, you forgot, we have quantum satellites!"
Amos slapped his head and suddenly came to his senses.
"I almost forgot."
"How long has it been since you went out? You should be able to go to an Internet cafe." Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"It's been a while, haha." Amos smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head and said shyly, "Online... The group's database has more information than the German National Library, so there is no need to go online. ."
He is the kind of person who will completely fall into a state of selflessness once he touches the experimental equipment.
But it was precisely because of his dedicated scientific research spirit that he finally saw "the scenery that giants cannot see." (.)
