Chapter 613: Increase in official duties
Just when William was ready to show his strength and contribute to the construction of national defense, Xia Li, who was in the same city and across the river, was also working hard for national defense construction!
However, Xia Li is obviously much higher in what she does, and she is not in the same order of magnitude as William.
While William is ambitiously developing exoskeleton armor for soldiers, Xia Li is designing highly intelligent factory robots and robot soldiers.
In the factory of the future, highly intelligent robots have replaced humans, and most factories no longer need humans, or only a small number of humans, such as the dockyard where starships are manufactured, and 80% of the work will be replaced by highly intelligent robots.
Therefore, Xia Li needs to build the "workers" before building the starship, and she also needs to design the dockyard from scratch.
Building a starship is the same as building an aircraft carrier, both need a dock, the difference is that the dock of an aircraft carrier is on the ground, and the dock of a starship is in space.
Starships rarely land, especially large starships such as star destroyers and battleships, which will not land unless they are shot down, and the construction and maintenance are carried out in the dock in space, and the landing ships are all landing ships.
So Charlie needs to redesign a ground-based dock and then add "workers" to the dock so that she can start building the starship.
However, these "workers" are not easy to manufacture, each factory robot work is different, and it needs to be customized, and a large dock needs more than 10,000 factory robots of more than 3,000 categories.
It takes a lot of time just to make these factory robots one by one.
And it is necessary to improve the current industrial technology to make it!
For example, every factory robot has a super quantum chip, which cannot be produced with current industrial technology, and Xia Li needs to improve the technology of manufacturing chips in order to obtain this important chip.
And the quantity needed is very huge, factory robots, starships, and robot soldiers all need this kind of chip, so it must also reach mass production.
As for the highly intelligent robot soldiers, this is the soldier of the future.
Future Robotics replaces not only workers, but also soldiers, especially the Army.
In the future, the territory of the alliance country is vast, and there are as many as thousands of habitable planets alone, so many planets need a huge defense force, and the government cannot recruit everyone into the army, so in order to solve the problem of military resources, robot soldiers came into being.
Robot soldiers are highly intelligent robots, not much different from humans in appearance, but stronger than humans, whether it is speed, strength, agility, adaptability are stronger than humans, and more importantly, they do not need training, nor do they need to be recruited by the state, Not to mention the payment of salaries and resettlement of military personnel, as long as the automatic factory does not stop, there will be a steady stream of robot soldiers to replenish the troops, which are very suitable for land missions, and the ground defense and security of thousands of habitable planets in the Union States, as well as countless planets that are not suitable for human habitation but are rich in resources, are guarded by billions of machine soldiers.
Of course, if Xia Li wants to build a robot soldier, she must solve the three problems of intelligence, materials, and energy. None of these three questions are too difficult, and they can be completed with a little time!
............
Just as Xia Li was striving to reach the peak of science, the time gradually came to March, and the 69th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Shrine Theater in Los Angeles.
In 1996, the Oscars became a big year for movies because of "Saving Private Ryan", "Chicago", and "The English Patient".
The box office of "Chicago" and "The English Patient" is not as high as "Saving Private Ryan", but the three films nominated are not much different, and the three films in terms of artistry also have their own merits.
But Devin Morgan in front of the TV knew that "The English Patient" was over, and from the moment John called the Jewish bigwigs of Hollywood to Morgan Manor, the movie was sentenced to death, and there was no chance to turn over again!
So Devon Morgan has already contacted the theater chain early, and after the awards ceremony, he will add more performances for "Saving Private Ryan" and "Chicago", so that the two films can play the last residual heat and squeeze out the last drop of value!
The final result of the awards ceremony was as Davin Morgan thought, the favored "English Patient" did not receive a consolation prize until the end of the awards ceremony, and all the awards were divided between "Saving Private Ryan" and "Chicago" except for a few consolation prizes for "Ghost of the Night" and "Switchblade".
"Saving Private Ryan" won Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Director.
This is John's second time winning the Oscar for Best Director.
"Chicago" won Best Adaptation, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Picture. Although "Chicago" was a good shot, Sophia's qualifications were too low for him to win Best Director, and if she could maintain this level in the next film, there would be a lot of hope for Best Director.
John has prepared a movie for her to hit the Golden Man, of course, to avoid this year's Oscars, because this year there is a guy who wants to be the king of the world!
Any film that encounters a big boat has to be filmed on the beach, and John is still self-aware of this.
John won the little golden man for the second time, successfully secured the status of a super-A director, and became the most valuable director in North America, which was already celebrated with great fanfare on others, but John was very calm, let alone celebrate, even he didn't watch the Oscar ceremony, or Dani told him the news of the award, and he knew that he had won the award.
Of course, John is not pretending, but he has no time to watch at all, from waking up in the morning to resting at night, except for meal time, he has not been out of the study for more than ten hours a day, and has been immersed in various official affairs.
He needs to sift through the movies shot by the new line company this year!
IBM's new products this year he needs to review!
The plan for the formation of the power company needs to be approved by him!
Starbucks, Qualcomm, Lucent, Amazon...... More than a dozen companies' annual plans he needs to review!
The budgets of dozens of departments in more than 20 states he needs to sign!
Foreign arms sales need his approval!
These miscellaneous things add up, hundreds of documents directly fill his wide desk, each document needs to be carefully read by him, and then signed for confirmation, and then handed over to the old Morgan for review, or handed over to the assistant to deal with!
So not to mention watching the awards ceremony, it's good to have time to eat and sleep, and to have time for entertainment is a pipe dream!
After Morgan Sr. decided to arrange things, he and Mrs. Morgan "retired" and waited until the implementation of the Phantom Project to wake up.
Therefore, he is now successively handing over some things to John to deal with, and cultivating John's ability to handle official duties.
So John's official duties increased a lot at once!
