Chapter 532: Amazing high-end robot

Views:

When Zhao Yi spent a month finally assembling the first high-end robot, he felt like he was finally relieved and in a much better mood than before.

Although a lot of effort was spent in preparing these high-end materials and related parts, most of the work was purely technical, and the hard work was left to its affiliated companies.

If it is purely mental work, Zhao Yi is actually happy to do it. After all, these tasks are basically not difficult for him and do not require him to spend too much effort.

But when he got the densely packed parts, that feeling made his scalp tingle just thinking about it now, and these parts still needed to be assembled one by one by his own hands.

If you are assembling something silly and thick, that would be better. After all, you don't need to focus too much and the mental pressure is much less. However, the assembly of these parts is a delicate job, and none of them is easy.

During this month, apart from eating and sleeping, he basically stayed in the laboratory doing assembly work, spending more than 12 hours a year.

During these 12 hours, most of the time requires long-term concentration, and even the assembly of many key components. Just a shake of the finger means failure and the assembly has to be restarted.

This is also related to the fact that the parts R&D and production tasks he issued to his subsidiaries were too piecemeal. In order to keep it confidential, parts were basically broken down into the smallest units.

If there are no detailed design drawings, even if you get all the parts, you will not know what they are used for, which is very important for confidentiality work.

The advantages are very obvious, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. Because the parts are too fragmented, it takes a lot of time and energy to assemble them. For him who rarely does this kind of work, it is really a kind of torture.

Just think about it, just installing the hair gland bionic tissue parts on the head is enough to make people's scalp numb. This alone is close to 100,000. Even if it doesn't need to be too delicate, it is still a hard job.

Even more perverted than this is the installation of bionic blood vessel parts. Not only are there a large number of them, but they also require great concentration and carefulness. For ordinary people, it is simply an inhuman torture.

Even more perverted than the installation of vascular tissue bionic components is the installation of skin sensor components. Before these sensors can be installed on the skin, a variety of sensors need to be assembled into composite sensors.

Then, composite sensors that can provide a variety of skin tactile sensations are installed on the skin tissue one by one, and the number and type of tactile sensors that need to be installed on different parts of the skin are also different.

In this month, Zhao Yi really assembled the first high-end robot from parts one by one. When all the work was completed, he felt like crying with joy when he saw the robot in front of him that was almost exactly the same as him. .

However, these dark work came to an end with the completion of the first high-end robot, because the subsequent assembly work will be completed by the robot, and he no longer needs to work hard personally.

If he were asked to assemble a high-end robot himself, he would definitely refuse. The reason why he endured a month of high-intensity work in the dark was mainly supported by a belief.

Because he knows that as long as he completes the assembly of the first high-end robot, the subsequent work will be on a smooth path, and he will be able to get rid of such work in the future.

Without the support of this belief, he would definitely refuse if he had to endure such high-intensity work and not know whether the days ahead would be good.

Looking at the high-end robot in front of him that was exactly the same as himself, even if he saw it himself, it would be difficult to tell the difference between him and himself. Whether it was eyes, expressions, or even temperament, they were basically exactly the same as himself.

Of course, I am not a handsome guy, so the first high-end robot is mediocre in appearance. It will definitely not be easily recognized in a crowd.

In the following time, Zhao Yi's main job was to conduct a comprehensive test on the first high-end robot and analyze whether its behavior and actions met his design goals.

Zhao Yi's goal is to achieve 100% similarity to real people in terms of appearance. Even if it does not reach 100%, it must be close to this goal. Only in this way can these high-end robots be better integrated into society. Go among them.

The testing work first starts with low levels of damage, such as walking, talking, smiling, expressions, etc., to see whether the performance of high-end robots in these aspects is natural and whether it can reach the natural level of humans.

The second step is to test whether the high-end robot responds promptly and naturally when facing external events. For example, Zhao Yi tells a joke and tests the reaction of the high-end robot after hearing it.

As for jokes, Zhao Yidu found several types, even cold jokes, just to see if high-end robots would behave similarly to humans after hearing cold jokes.

This kind of testing work is not only to test the sensitivity of the hearing, touch, taste, pain and other sensors on the high-end robot, but also to test how well it cooperates with the intelligent system.

This was tested without high-end robots connecting to the backend, although high-end robots can connect to the junior artificial intelligence in the backend to request computing power support if necessary.

But under normal circumstances, you need to rely on your own optical brain to perform calculations. The purpose of this is to prevent accidents. After all, the signal is not always connected, and the more dangerous the environment, the less reliable the signal is. .

The computing power of optical brains is much higher than current silicon-based chips, and even much higher than carbon-based chips that have not yet appeared, but it is inferior to supercomputers and supercomputer clusters. Far away.

In order to make up for the computing power disadvantage brought by optical brain hardware, Zhao Yi spent much more time on program optimization than on these hardware, and made optimized solutions for almost everything he could think of.

After testing, all sensing systems and feedback systems had no problems. Zhao Yidu could hardly find anything inconsistent with humans in these high-end robots, as if he was facing a real person.

In addition to these common sensing systems, high-end robots also have a divine sense system that has not yet received much research results, which is commonly known as the sixth sense.

The main purpose of adding such a sensing system to high-end robots is to increase the crisis-sensing capabilities of high-end robots, so that they can sense and detect major events involving their own crises and Zhao Yi's safety.

Zhao Yi could not make such a high-end sensing system by himself. This was made with the help of Zhou Ling, and he even had a partial understanding of the principle.

According to Zhou Ling, "The end of science is theology." The induction system with the sixth sense is both science and theology. It cannot be explained clearly by the current scientific level and involves a little bit of causality.

Zhou Ling itself has a strong ability to understand the law of cause and effect. Otherwise, she can immediately sense anyone involved with Zhao Yi, and she can also realize joint cause and effect reasoning.

To be honest, Zhao Yi is actually very coveted of Zhou Ling's ability, and even asked Zhou Ling for advice, hoping to learn a thing or two from it. It doesn't have to be so proficient, it is good to learn a little bit.

The result is naturally very obvious. He currently does not have the talent to learn this thing. The tip of the iceberg that Zhou Ling showed him was like a book from heaven and he could not understand it at all.

He spent a lot of time trying to understand what was inside, but failed several times. Suddenly he felt that his developed brain was not much different from a mallet in the face of these things.

Zhao Yi's test was also very simple. He was standing behind a high-end robot with a weapon in his hand to see how the high-end robot reacted. This was done without being informed.

The first time Zhao Yi hid behind the high-end robot with a knife in his hand, there was no reaction, as if the high-end robot had no awareness of this danger.

This made Zhao Yi think that there was applause for a while, but after trying several times, there was still no response. He didn't understand why, so he had to ask Zhou Ling for help.

Zhou Ling heard his story and said directly: "It's useless for you to test like this. Although you are hiding behind it with a sharp weapon, you don't have any murderous intent or any intention to harm him.

This means that you actually have no causal relationship with him, and the high-end robot's divine sense system will naturally be unable to detect your behavior. This is not because the divine sense system is malfunctioning, but that the triggering conditions have not been met. "

After listening to Zhou Ling's explanation, Zhao Yi couldn't help but say a national curse in his heart. This is too high-end. It needs to be actually harmful to himself before it will cause the divine system to sense and react.

Later, Zhao Yi did not hesitate to destroy this high-end robot that was finally assembled, but he was determined to give it a real blow. In other respects, there was no difference from before.

As a result, when he jumped up and was about to stab the high-end robot in the back, the high-end robot suddenly looked back and pretended to be frightened. Zhao felt that he had done something despicable. Same.

The first time was probably an accident. After several experiments on different occasions and under different circumstances, I found that every action was noticed by high-end robots in advance, and the reactions were basically similar.

And these reactions are related to the character settings for high-end robots. The character of this high-end robot is set to a normal state. When encountering danger, it often shows fear. Unless it encounters special circumstances, it will Will show courage.

After these experiments, Zhao Yi felt as if he didn't recognize this high-end robot. It was too anthropomorphic and it didn't look like it was born from his hands.

He had previously felt that adding the divine sense system would prevent the high-end robots born from his hands from acting silly, and hoped to behave more like humans.

He didn't expect it, and it far exceeded his expectations. Although humans also have a sixth sense, not all people's sixth sense is accurate, and sometimes they appear suspicious.

After many tests, this high-end robot's sixth sense sensing accuracy is frighteningly high. If such a high accuracy rate is put into society, it will basically not encounter any danger.

Because high-end robots have already sensed the danger before it arrives and respond in time, which can avoid almost all dangerous situations.

The next step was to test the internal circulation system of the high-end robot. He looked at the time. It happened to be around 5:30 in the afternoon, and dinner was about to start.

In order to let the high-end robot appear outside instead of him, he planned to stay in the laboratory by himself during this period, and just eat some instant noodles in the laboratory for dinner.

This time, letting the high-end robot go out alone, in addition to testing the internal circulation system, is more importantly to test whether the process of contact with other people is natural, and also to test its camouflage ability.

Although Zhao Yi is not a person with such a distinctive personality, it is still very difficult to summarize the distinctive characteristics from him, so it will be difficult for high-end robots to imitate him.

Zhou Jinyu is the person who has stayed with him for the longest time. If the imitation doesn't look good, Zhou Jinyu will easily find out. Although he won't question it, it can be seen clearly from Zhou Jinyu's expression.

In this way, Zhao Yi stayed in his office in the laboratory and looked at the picture in front of him. This was a picture taken from a first-person perspective.

I saw the high-end robot walking on the way back to the residential area. Judging from the surveillance footage captured by the cameras along the road, the walking posture and reaction and demeanor when seeing the real thing were really no different from his usual.

Even the intelligent video analysis system could not tell from his past videos and the current footage that the two were not the same person. The intelligent video analysis system did not give a warning.

You know, in order to make the place where he lives safer, Zhao Yi has spent a lot of effort in this regard, and the equipment and intelligent analysis systems used are the most advanced currently.

Now even the technology-based analysis results of junior artificial intelligence cannot tell the difference between the simulation of high-end robots and their usual behavior.

When the high-end robot entered the dining room, he saw Zhou Jinyu sitting on the sofa next to him and said, "You got off work very early today."

"Aren't you the same? Didn't you come over for dinner after six o'clock before? Are you finished with your work?" Zhou Jinyu asked.

When the high-end robot heard Zhou Jinyu's words, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he found a place to sit down, and after lying down in a comfortable posture, he said: "No way, but it's almost enough. It's just these few days." things.

Today is because I am too tired. I want to eat early and relax. After eating and returning, I will continue to work and try to finish things in a short time. "

"You have to go back to the laboratory after dinner? You're not in such a hurry, are you? Are you going to develop something to save the world?" Zhou Jinyu said jokingly.

Zhou Jinyu's words were not intended to inquire into the research he had conducted. After all, after spending so many years together, he also knew what things should be asked and what things should not be asked, and he had a good sense of proportion.

If the high-end robot answers truthfully, it means failure. After hearing Zhou Jinyu’s words, the high-end robot also responded in a joking manner: “Yes, as a genius, how can we do without a sense of social responsibility.

The sense of responsibility of ordinary people is to do their own jobs well and abide by the laws. People like me who are different naturally have the responsibility to save the world and have unshirkable responsibilities. "

When Zhou Jinyu saw "Zhao Yi's" stinky face, she revealed a face full of teasing, and squeezed his arm hard with her hand, showing off her little woman's demeanor.

"Why are you moving your hands and feet again? Just say what you say. Don't think that I won't fight back just because you are familiar with me." The high-end robot quickly slapped Zhou Jinyu's hand away and rubbed the pinched area a few times. said.

While talking, Lao Li put all the food on the table and called them both to eat. In the following time, the high-end robot behaved much like he usually did, without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Zhao Yiyi sent the videos of his daily life to this high-end robot, and it used these videos to imitate his daily life, and the result was perfect.

At least I didn't find anything strange in the expressions of Zhou Jinyu and Chef Lao Li. During the meal, they were talking and laughing with Zhou Jinyu, and they had a good time.

After dinner, I lay on the sofa in the living room with Zhou Jinyu and watched TV. But I didn't have as much time as before. Half an hour later, I came back on the pretext of going back to work in the laboratory.

When the high-end robot came to the laboratory, Zhao Yi first conducted data analysis on its taste system and found that there were no problems and it met the design requirements.

Then there was the examination of his body's circulatory system. This examination was complicated. Many medical examination equipment and methods were used. After analysis, the performance was quite satisfactory.

From the perspective of external performance, the high-end robot can show different expressions according to the taste of the food it eats. On the surface, there is no problem.

There were no problems with the food in the mouth or throat. There was no sticking or siltation. The performance was no different from that of a real person.

The last step is to check the circulation of the food just eaten in the body. This is an internal manifestation. This process is not exactly the same as that of a real person. It is a process in which high-end robots convert biological energy into electrical energy and other energy.

Zhao Yi's inspection is to see whether the entire internal energy operation system is smooth and whether the process of bioenergy conversion is smooth. These all require detailed inspection.

Fortunately, robots are robots after all. Many inspections are much simpler than human inspections, and relevant data can be obtained through a large number of sensors in the body.

In addition to checking the energy conversion system, the material storage system must also be checked, because robots do not have the same cellular tissue as humans and cannot store necessary substances for the human body through cells.

Therefore, Zhao Yi has designed a lot of nutrient storage points in the body of the high-end robot. For example, when encountering hot weather, you need to sweat, and naturally you need to store water in the body in advance.

For example, after being injured, it needs to show bleeding, which naturally needs to be converted through nutrients. Not only does it need to be stored, it also requires a complete set of organic material conversion systems.

At the same time, the conversion speed cannot be too slow, which requires that on the one hand, the efficiency of the conversion system needs to be improved, and on the other hand, the distance between where the raw materials need to be stored and where they are needed cannot be too far.

It is precisely because of this that it is not stored centrally in the body, but is distributed throughout the body, and it is particularly dispersed, with hundreds of millions of storage points.

These storage points are not only containers for storing substances, but also highly sensitive sensors that can feed back their own status to the optical brain in real time, allowing the optical brain to display different overall states.

For example, if there is insufficient storage material, the robot will appear hungry, and it will also remind the robot that it needs to eat. Although it will not be as hungry as a real person, after all, there is a high-energy-density battery inside.

But without these nutrients, many things cannot be imitated. However, in this case, the skin on the surface of the robot will also change at once, and its performance is not much different from that of a hungry person.

These inspections and analyzes require very careful inspection, and each item must be carefully inspected. Even with the help of many high-tech equipment and robot self-inspection systems, Zhao Yi still spent an hour or two to complete the inspection.

When the final results came out, Zhao Yi was quite satisfied with the experiment. The reason why high-end robots are high-end is reflected in this high degree of simulation.

If it were a normal robot, there would be no need to be so precise. It would only need to be flexible and coordinated with its hands and feet and respond to the external environment in a timely manner. There would be no need to pay attention to the secretion of sweat glands. It is completely unnecessary.

After checking these, it is a destructive test. The main purpose is to check the response of high-end robots when attacked and damaged and the self-healing ability of damaged parts.

You know, after these robots are released, they will basically not have direct contact with this place unless necessary, but bumps and bumps are inevitable in daily life.

Especially robots that are placed in dangerous environments are much more likely to be destroyed, and they cannot go to the hospital for treatment like normal people.

Therefore, their self-healing ability is an extremely important indicator and an important guarantee for their ability to continue to survive outside. Otherwise, it will break at every turn, so what's the use

Zhao Yi took out a knife and stabbed the robot's leg. Blood immediately began to ooze from the wound, not much at first, but then gradually increased.

The robot acted in extreme pain, its expressions were simulated very well, and it held its hands tightly around the wound, hoping to alleviate the pain it suffered.

But what is different about this real person is that for a knife wound like this, it is best not to pull out the knife immediately, because in this case, the bleeding may be faster.

But for the robot, there is no such concern. After all, it can completely control how much blood is left, so it pulled out the knife not long after it showed pain.

Then Zhao Yi slowly healed the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then a scar the size of the wound appeared on the wound. Then not long after, even the scar disappeared, and there was no difference from before the injury. .

It can be seen from here that these materials are so high-end that they are simply incomprehensible to the current materials science. This is why several chapters have been devoted to discussing their influence in this area.

Cornerstone Materials, which has mastered such high-end material technology, can't do anything but be awesome. Although they only know a little bit about it, the benefits it brings are also very obvious.

Of course, not all finished materials are provided by Cornerstone Materials Company. Many of them only produce primary materials. After Zhao Yi got them in the laboratory, he performed secondary processing of the materials to achieve such outstanding performance.

This kind of destructive test only tested the skin-related performance and repair. Then Zhao started to conduct destructive tests on other items, and the results were very good.

As long as there is no large-scale damage, high-end robots can repair themselves in a relatively short time. If the damage is very large, it will take a long time to repair, and the repair speed will be much slower.

In order to prevent the brain from being damaged and unable to control the robot's actions, Zhao Yi also added smaller auxiliary optical brains to various parts of the robot's body. The purpose is to have limited action control capabilities after the main optical brain is destroyed.

As long as the high-end robot escapes from the scene and finds a quiet place, it can slowly repair it through the self-healing function. As long as the time is long enough, there will basically be no wounds that cannot be repaired.

Even if the optical brain is damaged, it can slowly repair itself, because the materials used by the optical brain are completely different from those used by ordinary optical brains. All materials used in the robot's body have the ability to self-repair.

Although various destructive tests were conducted this time, they did not cause much damage. After all, Zhao Yi expected this robot to work for him and produce more robots.

While Zhao Yi was busy testing, he had already informed Xiaoling to assign more production parts and material production tasks to his various companies in preparation for subsequent large-scale column assembly.

He currently only has the materials to assemble 10 high-end robots. Because Zhao Yi is a human, he needs to rest, and in terms of fine control, the accuracy may be higher than that of high-end robots, but the efficiency is definitely much worse.

It would take Zhao Yiyi a month to assemble one by himself, but it would only take about 10 to 15 days for a high-end robot to assemble it himself.

According to Zhao Yi's plan, at least tens of thousands of such high-end robots are needed, and it will take more than 300 days to assemble just to complete this task.

Because not all robots that have been assembled will continue to assemble robots. First, he still needs these robots to do other tasks. Second, his laboratory cannot accommodate thousands of people.

If it only requires constant assembly, it is a fission reaction. If you want to assemble tens of thousands of units, it only takes about 200 days. (End of chapter)
