Chapter 180: Technology research and development is the main thing
The shock of the experts did not affect the thoughts in the chief's mind, and he took a deep look at Z1, which had begun to return in the distance.
"Are there any injuries?" the chief asked softly to the bodyguard beside him.
The fast and flexible body of Z1 when it was acting just now and the powerful firepower inside it made the leader have to care about this problem.
The bodyguard shook his head and said in a low voice: "No one was injured, we let the surrounding personnel evacuate early according to your arrangement." ”
"Okay, hurry up and arrange firefighting. ”
Glancing at the place hit by the Z1 missile, there was already thick smoke billowing out there, and the flames had begun to spread.
"Yes!" the bodyguard left and began to arrange for the fire to be extinguished.
The chief turned to look at Cheng Yuan, extremely satisfied. With such a robot, Huaxia doesn't have to be so cringe to the outside world. But before that, the first thing to do is to expand the number of robot troops, and then find an opportunity to show these robots!
Sometimes, something really needs to be kept secret as a secret weapon. However, many things still need to be displayed in order to make others feel scared, dare not act rashly, and dare not point fingers at themselves!
A fierce color flashed in the eyes of the No. 1 leader, and then he thought of something and looked at Cheng Yuan.
"Cheng Yuan, I've worked hard for you this time, what I said before will take effect from now on, the [Z-1] base will not be closed in the future, it will continue to produce robots!" The chief looked at Cheng Yuan very seriously, his eyes flashing with wisdom and calmness.
"Then how much are you going to invest?" Cheng Yuan knew that he couldn't resign from this position, although he could come or not, there were some things he still needed to pay attention to, such as the number of robots!
Although I don't know how much manpower it will take to start construction this time, I can guess an approximate idea just by using the materials.
Excluding the most important intelligence core, which of the other things doesn't cost a lot of money to build?
"Do you know the cost of the Z1?" the chief asked as he looked at Cheng Yuan with interest.
Shook his head. Cheng Yuan really didn't know the specific cost. But at least not less than 20 million, after all, just those materials are worth this price, and then add the consumption of other aspects, this money is even more huge.
The chief smiled slightly, "I'm going to invest 100 billion in this department." ”
Cheng Yuan's mouth opened wide instantly, he looked at the smiling No. 1 leader in a daze, and blurted out, "Are you going to start a war?"
This 100 billion can definitely build thousands of robot armies.
Through the performance of the Z1 just now, these thousands of robots can definitely sweep any country on the planet!
Cheng Yuan's direct words made the chief's face stagnant slightly, and he looked at Cheng Yuan in a daze. directly looked at Cheng Yuan's scalp numb. Then he withdrew his eyes and said with a smile: "You brain, I don't know whether to say smart or stupid!"
Shaking his head, the No. 1 leader sighed and said earnestly: "You better do a good research career, you don't have to worry about this, our purpose has always been to maintain world peace as our own responsibility." ”
Regarding Cheng Yuan's clumsy political reaction, No. 1 finally had a clear understanding this time. It seems that those people were right. Although Cheng Yuan is extremely genius, he is simply stupid in some ways.
Of course. Cheng Yuan's performance made the chief very relieved, after all, no one is perfect, if it is too perfect, then it is not a person!
"Ugh. The corners of Cheng Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said secretly: "Maintain world peace? This thing is a deception to children, right?"
Seeing the chief's words perfunctory. Cheng Yuan could only shrug his shoulders.
Looking at Cheng Yuan, who still hadn't understood yet, No. 1 didn't know what to say, and after a few words of encouragement, he arranged the rest of the things. Then I got in the car and left.
And after the No. 1 leader left, Yang Qiaoyuan, who had not spoken, stood up, looked at Cheng Yuan and sighed: "Mr. Cheng." Although I am not as good as one billionth of you in terms of scientific and technological research and development, you are really inferior to me in terms of speaking and figuring out. ”
"What do you say?" Cheng Yuan looked at Yang Qiaoyuan suspiciously.
"Hey, hey. Yang Qiaoyuan chuckled low and explained, "Didn't the chief just say that 100 billion yuan would be invested in the robot department?"
"What's the matter, it's very easy to build thousands of Z-series robots with 100 billion, it's just a little longer. Cheng Yuan still didn't know why.
Looking at Cheng Yuan, who didn't understand yet, Yang Qiaoyuan didn't hide it, and said directly: "You think too much, how can this 100 billion be completely used to build robots, research and development is where most of the money goes!"
"I've just built the Z1, and I'm thinking about developing the next generation, don't you think it's too fast?" Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, puzzled.
Yang Qiaoyuan glanced at Cheng Yuan strangely and explained: "Do you really not understand or false, if it weren't for your design drawing, this Z1 would not be possible to produce even if tens of billions of dollars were invested! This time these experts are completely based on your design drawings, and they actually understand a rough idea." ”
"You're saying they're going to take my drawings and continue to research and manufacture?"
"That's for sure, there is a single land battle that definitely does not meet the needs of modern warfare, and naval warfare and air warfare definitely need to be equipped with a certain amount of equipment, these are the directions that need their efforts, now you understand?" Yang Qiaoyuan looked at Cheng Yuan seriously and said his understanding in one go.
After listening to Yang Qiaoyuan's words, Cheng Yuan was silent, he actually knew that in a scientific research institution, the biggest expense is research and development, and some people spend hundreds of billions of dollars on research that can't even be beaten, and his research is completely because of the crystallization of science and technology in his mind.
The existence of the technological crystallization made him completely unconcerned about the cost of funds in the research and development stage, because he didn't need to, so he didn't care much.
At this time, hearing Yang Qiaoyuan's explanation, he finally realized how terrifying the scientific and technological crystallization in his mind was!
Just a design drawing can save hundreds of billions or even trillions of funds, which seemed to Cheng Yuan to be a fantasy before, but now he finally knows that this is not a funny thing, but very real!
Looking at the Z1 running back with a meteor in stride, Cheng Yuan was full of emotion in his heart, even if Z1 had his own 'design', but it was more based on Dabai and steel armor, without these two technologies, even if he and Zero Heli could not have designed it.
The role of knowledge is remarkably clear at this moment.
After welcoming back to Z1. Cheng Yuan returned to the base with all the experts and began to test the situation of Z1.
But when the inspectors checked the data, all the experts were in an uproar.
In the operation just now, the Z1 actually maintained zero damage!
That said, in the test just now, the Z1 avoided everything that flew at him, including things like blown up rubble and mud blocks!
That alone is terrifying!
Under the fanatical gaze of the crowd, the Z1 went into standby mode, and the staff began to reload it with the number of hot weapons.
And Cheng Yuan. didn't stay with these experts anymore, added new control instructions, handed over Z1 to Song Bowen, and left the base with Chen Yu.
The robot's matter has been settled for the time being, but the company has another matter waiting for him to deal with.
So after saying hello to Yang Qiaoyuan, he rushed back to the company with Chen Yu non-stop.
......
Across the ocean, Washington, USA.
In the president's office, the president of the United States looked gloomy at this time, and he waited to look at his scientific adviser Smith. And next to him, the CIA director Christopher, whose facial muscles were rigid, still maintained his dead face.
"Mr. Smith, is this the robot you built for 150,000 dollars?" the president pointed to the photograph on the paper, a rudimentary metal skeleton with an inverted triangular head that looked like an alien's head. It was as small as a monkey, with messy wires attached to its body, and the only weapon in its body was a submachine gun mounted on two small arms.
"Mr. President, this is just a defective product made by a robot that imitates the people of China. Its core processor has a small program input that allows it to flexibly complete the action on the video. Smith gave a brief overview of his work.
The president didn't even raise his eyelids, and said coldly: "Can it be attacked by a shell?"
Without waiting for Smith to speak. The President continued, and said in a mocking tone: "Mr. Smith, I now doubt that my bodyguard would be able to kill this little thing with the pistol he was carrying, and it was worth 150,000 dollars. ”
Mr. President strongly expressed his displeasure!
He already has plans to change people!
"Mr. President, intelligent robots for war are absolutely impossible to emerge with today's technology. In addition to the unsolved energy problem, we don't have a smart program that's powerful enough to drive it. As with programmers controlling it remotely, electronic interference and intrusion can cause robots to scrap or even turn back. On top of that, we don't have that many programmers to control a large robot, and it's impossible for programmers to be distracted from learning on the battlefield. ”
Smith swore that he had been observing Mr. President's expression, and that he knew that what he was going to say next was related to his work.
Hearing Smith's explanation, the president's face loosened slightly, he actually understood this truth, but there were already intelligent robots in Huaxia! This made his brows furrowed.
"Damn Huaxia, damn Orientals!" cursed viciously in his heart, and the president knew that his scientific advisers could not be blamed for this.
Seeing that Mr. President's face had improved slightly, Smith breathed a sigh of relief, but in order to ensure his work, he continued to explain: "And exoskeleton armor also faces many problems, rudiment, protection, energy, and control. We can't solve everything at once. ”
Mr. President was speechless, he glanced at Smith silently, and then turned to look at Christopher, "So sir, how did you get on that side?"
Christopher glanced at Smith and hissed, "Mr. President, the robots in the country are very well protected, but we still get some useful information, they seem to have researched some kind of new biological battery to allow their robots to continue to move. ”
Hearing the news, the president's white face twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "What about intelligence?"
"Sorry, couldn't find any useful news at all. ”
Christopher's words immediately made the hearts of the president and Smith sink to the bottom.
The president was dissatisfied with the fact that he could not get the intelligence, and Smith was dissatisfied with what he had just said, and he had just said that intelligence was impossible! But the intelligence chief said that the intelligence information could not be found! This was clearly against him!
Mr. President naturally did not have the same knowledge as Smith, he pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the country has been having an unpleasant relationship with polar bears recently?"
Christopher's eyes moved slightly, and he replied, "Yes, sir." ”
"Can you find a way to get the intelligence in their hands?" asked Mr. President.
Christopher thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Let it go, I just want to have a report on Yueguo Intelligence in the office soon. The president looked solemnly at the CIA director.
"What about Huaxia?"
"They ......," the president frowned slightly, "don't push too much, that country is completely different from a few decades ago, we have to be cautious and leave them alone for the time being." ”
"Okay. CAI Director Christopher didn't say anything and turned to leave.
......
The next day, international news broke that an American tourist had been attacked in Soma County, near the sea of Fukushima Island...... (To be continued.) )
