Chapter 1365: Boasting and Pieces

Johnny Payne watched the boss, his men and children board the muddy river bank in a rubber boat...

The old man smiled awkwardly. Just when he was about to go down to pick up the boss, he heard Igor shouting an excited greeting, and then two large dogs with a shoulder height of nearly one meter jumped out of the rubber boat...

After the two big dogs sprinted for more than ten meters on the mud, the ropes on their bodies suddenly straightened. Then the rubber boat was pulled out of the water, slid on the mud for more than ten meters, and stopped at the edge of the jungle.

Johnny Payne looked at the two big dogs with obvious mechanical characteristics. When he was about to speak in admiration, a man in a white coat behind him suddenly grabbed his arm and shouted in surprise: "The 'Fenrir Project' The prototype is still in the laboratory, where did the boss get these two? "

Johnny Payne has become accustomed to the channels that Boss Joe cannot tell. Last month, he received several robots that were said to be made from the top secret laboratory in China. When he checked the performance of the robots, he found that they were similar to Telos. The system was struck by thunder and lightning...

At that time, Johnny Payne completely connected Boss Qiao with the Eastern Powers, and Boss Qiao's endless "good things" also had a reasonable explanation.

This guy is a smart man. After he 'discovered' the boss's 'secret', he chose to shut up and at the same time issued a product catalog to Boss Qiao...

When Boss Joe and the others stepped onto the river bank, a big tree in the jungle suddenly fell over, and then a small clearing appeared behind Johnny Payne and the others...

Qiao Jia stopped Igor from running around with his sister. He grabbed Jino's ears and asked him to keep an eye on the energetic Igor. Then he walked up to Johnny Payne and took a look at the people who were watching the two big dogs. The dog's white coat, then smiled and said: "Man, if this is what you call a surprise, then you are going to be disappointed."

As Qiao Jia looked up at the unmanned airship above his head, he shook his head and said: "If this is your so-called solution, then I will deduct half of your budget for this year, because I feel that you are wasting my money. ”

Johnny Payne said confidently: "Boss, this is a plan devised by those Chinese boys.

The wired charging solution for airships and robots has greatly accelerated our base construction.

You should go in and take a look with me, you will definitely be surprised there! "

Qiao Jia shook his head noncommittally and said, "Then go and have a look..."

The shape of Telos's labor robot is close to the robot in the movie "I, Robot".

It’s just that the outdoor robot does not use the translucent plastic in the movie as its outer shell. Instead, it uses composite materials printed by 3D printers. Not only does it have good protection capabilities, but it also makes the robot look stronger.

As if to show off the advanced nature of the induction command model, Johnny Payne arranged for the robots to open roads. They all held tools and controlled them like real humans to chop down trees and open roads, and then used a method that seemed a bit weird to humans. The smooth rhythm moves the felled tree obstacles away.

The motors designed by Johnny Payne themselves were redesigned and adjusted according to the different functions of each joint. With the assistance of low torque, the robot can show strong strength.

Qiao Jia is satisfied with the flexibility of these robots. However, the key components of these robots, such as joints and motors, are all processed by his boss. In terms of pure market price, the price of more than 500,000 US dollars is still a bit high. Too exaggerated.

If you want to reduce costs, the first thing you must consider is mass production...

It’s just that there are still too few places in the world that have demand for this kind of robot. The only way is to find a large company to cooperate, transplant key components to other types of mechanical products, and then use the high output of this machinery to reduce key components. The cost of the original.

Boss Qiao hasn't figured out the specific method yet, but his current demand is not particularly large, so it doesn't matter if he puts it aside for the time being.

Under the guidance of Johnny Payne, everyone entered the jungle and walked a short distance along the newly opened road to an open space...

Watching the airship slowly lower dozens of 'tentacles', and then the robots took the initiative to walk under the tentacles...

Then, under the attraction of some kind of magnetic force, the circular patch at the end of the tentacle was attracted to the back of the robot, and then several delicate locks fixed the robot. Then the tentacle was retracted upwards, and the robot was stowed inside the airship.

Qiao Jia clearly saw that when the circular patch was sucked on the back of the robot, the robot's eyes flashed red light indicating that it was charging...

“Isn’t this fucking wireless charging? The charging cable is so fucking long, isn’t it difficult to get a plug?

If you do this, the cost will be much higher..."

Johnny Payne invited Boss Joe and his family to board several jungle off-road vehicles. When the vehicles started, Johnny Payne said to Boss Joe: "Boss, wireless charging technology is the best way to solve the anxiety of robot battery life. Best solution.

We currently have a relatively mature solution, and the experiments have been basically successful, so the latest robots are all wireless charging models.

This plan of airships carrying robots was thought up by young people in China. This plan is very beneficial to our construction in remote areas, so we built a prototype unmanned airship.

Currently, those young people are trying to experiment with the lunar version of unmanned airships, because the flexible photovoltaic panels we are using now are the most advanced in the world.

And if you want to get electricity on the moon, the best way in the early stage is to use solar energy.

If our landing capsule can carry a photovoltaic balloon of sufficient size, it can charge the engineering robot accompanying it.

However, the atmosphere of the moon is extremely rare. Although only a small amount of gas is needed to expand the balloon, the gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of that of the earth.

However, in theory, it is not difficult to take off, but in order to maintain stability, some power equipment is still needed.

We do not rule out the possibility of adding a small electromagnetic pulse engine to the balloon, so that the balloon can replace the role of the lunar rover and directly serve as a means of transportation, carrying tools and robots for long-distance movement on the moon. "

Joga didn't know if what Johnny Payne said was possible, but he liked this way of thinking.

The first time, we must carry enough photovoltaic panels. If the photovoltaic panels are changed into balloons with mobility, we can not only avoid the messy meteorite attacks on the moon, but also save the weight and energy consumption required for the lunar rover to be launched.

In this way, not only is the efficiency high and the exploration range large, but the survivability is also greatly improved.

After the artificial moon landing in the 1960s, the United States did not continue to try. It was not that they could not do it, but the cost-effectiveness was too low.

Sending people up to show off, and then bringing back some lunar samples, it costs a huge amount of money...

In comparison, the current rover landing is more cost-effective!

However, the rover still has limitations, and the Telos robot provides humans with a way to control the lunar module in a safe place. Without the constraints of human fragile bodies, various possibilities are greatly increased.

Purely thinking in a result-oriented way, there is no need to consider the survival and psychological problems of astronauts. In fact, many things can be solved.

After driving along a jungle path for about 40 minutes, we finally arrived at the 'Six The secret base of the Pentagon'...

The base is built under a huge waterfall...

One square concrete building after another is neatly arranged on the left side of the pool under the waterfall.

And on the right side of the waterfall is a small nuclear power plant covering an area of ​​nearly 10 acres.

The laboratory building on the left follows the pragmatic style of P.B. The appearance of the building has no aesthetic appeal. It is more like a fortress than a laboratory.

Because the tops of those buildings are all equipped with the 'Mistral Missile System' and close-in defense guns...

On a construction site at the end of the laboratory, dozens of robot workers with four legs and human bodies are working on the construction site. Working, tying steel bars, building molds, mixing concrete...

Qiaojia saw the difference at a glance. The style of the second half of the laboratory complex was obviously more crude. What was more interesting was that the power of those robots was obviously stronger than those seen before, and Qiaojia did not see any equipment nearby that could charge the robots.

Johnny Payne guessed what Boss Joe was thinking. He pointed proudly to a nearly 100-meter-high high-voltage transmission tower on the right and said proudly: "Boss, this is the best solution...

Nikola Tesla completed the experiment in the 18th century!

This is an American company that designs and manufactures wireless microwave power transmission devices. Recently, this company went bankrupt. We only spent 15 million to take all the patents of this company.

With it, the robot can move freely within a radius of 900 meters inside the jungle, without worrying about the endurance problem.

With it, we can drive the robot to any corner that humans cannot enter for construction! "

Joga looked at Johnny Payne, who was bragging without thinking, and said with disdain: "Although I am not a scientist, I know very well how old America's infrastructure is now...

Such an advanced thing, if there are no major defects, how can it not be popularized.

If this thing is really useful, it is equivalent to creating a chain of industrial upgrading out of thin air.

The construction cost of such a tower will not exceed 2 million. Are those power companies stupid?

This is a fucking revolutionary innovation. Whoever comes up with it will be the richest man in the world!"

Johnny Payne listened, smiled awkwardly, and said: "In theory, it is feasible. This subversive revolution will lead to earth-shaking changes in the electrical industry.

However, there is still a huge gap in the world's battery industry. If wireless power transmission is not guaranteed by high-quality batteries, stability will be a problem.

And, well, and this kind of microwave remote wireless charging has some minor problems, well..."

Joga sighed and said, "For example..."

Johnny Payne laughed dryly and said, "For example, the transmission efficiency is relatively low, and the power waste is relatively serious..."

Joga looked at the tower, and after thinking for a while, he said, "What can the transmission efficiency be?"

Johnny Payne rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "The power transmission efficiency within 200 meters is 25%, and after more than 500 meters, the transmission efficiency will drop to 10%, and 900 meters will drop to about 5%...

Of course, if it is on the moon, where there is less wireless interference and no shelter, the transmission efficiency will increase a lot. "
