Chapter 287: The Realm of Robots
Williams also answered the doubts he wanted to know in detail, and Yang Ming was concerned about the problem of private enterprise establishment and qualifications, but the latter felt that it was commonplace.
"In addition to the well-known large conglomerates such as Loma, Boeing or Raytheon, in fact, there are more than 10,000 large and small contractors in the United States, and there will be no less than 1,000 enterprises with first-class defense contracting qualifications. ”
"So much?"
People, including Yang Ming, feel that this number is very large, and it is no wonder that the Americans are still martial, and they find reasons to invade other countries every day, this is a culture that has penetrated into the bones!
Williams didn't know what his Chinese friend was thinking, and nodded: "Actually, there may be more, and it doesn't mean that you have to produce aircraft and manufacture cannons to be a contractor, even if you provide parts and downstream processing products, you have a certain scale and financial strength, and you will be qualified to participate in the list bidding of the Ministry of Defense." ”
"But most contractors are not doing very well, and you can understand why, there is no demand without war, and small and medium-sized enterprises are either investing in new projects or closing their doors, and after the new president comes to power, the giants are getting better and better, but we have to be cut into costs. ”
Yang Ming understands that Williams, a company that can only be regarded as a midstream, cannot make large-scale war money, so he can only start from the field of science and technology, and wants to find him investors, but now everyone also knows that the industry is not good, and things are a little difficult to discuss.
But Daniel could feel it, and the guy was interested.
"You want to do that too?"
"I'm afraid that even if I get the qualifications, the United States will not recruit a target for a foreign-invested company. Yang Ming smiled.
"But you're still interested. Daniel knew he wasn't denying it.
"Robotics, intelligence, if you think about it, I have industries that overlap with that. ”
Daniel understood: "So you don't want to waste resources. ”
Yang Ming did not deny it.
"Not only in the military, but also in the civilian field, we have plans to develop, and I have always believed that robots are the ideal future," Williams added. ”
"I think too. Yang Ming agreed.
Since the technical reserves have been upgraded, with intelligent intervention and processing of various business technologies, Yang Ming's pursuit of career and making money has weakened, because his wife, who is better at it, is doing it.
The task of spending money has always remained the same, he used to be single and a casual wave, but now he has a family and responsibilities, which means that he needs to find things that interest him, otherwise life is too boring.
We talked about a lot of topics that day, and after returning to the hotel in the evening, Li Wei asked him: "What do you want to do in the military industry next?"
"I said I just want to have a reason to play with these aircraft cannons, do you believe it?" Yang Ming smiled.
"I believe it. Li Wei nodded, because she also felt very stressed, using a ferocious weapon to tear everything in front of her, and she was as aggressive as him.
"I also want to make some technical reserves, you should know that we have artificial intelligence, there are algorithms, but there is no place to apply it except for racing! ”
"What do you want to make?" Li Wei cared.
"Robots, or other tools that free our hands...... I don't have specific goals, but I feel that they will be very useful in the future, both military and civilian. ”
"Yes, I support!" Li Wei nodded.
"Are you support?" he asked.
She nodded again: "We make money just to do what we want to do." I can't say anything about letting this man play casually, but I support his desire to improve. ”
"It's a little bit far away, very futuristic. Yang Ming thinks.
"Do you know how far the giants have gone in their technology reserve plans? Google has revealed that they have plans for the next 50 years, and there are other areas that have a big vision. With our strength and planning, don't you want to be a giant that can penetrate all fields? Why should you be weaker than them?"
"Sounds ...... There is some truth. ”
Yang Ming got the support of his wife.
He didn't have too many reasons for developing this project, one was that he thought it was cool, and the other was that he had technical reserves in this area, such as the robot's algorithm, which was obviously very superior, so it was not too wasteful to keep it!
More of them are gone, and there are no returns, no prospects, but he has the money, ideas, and technology! All in all, there are even fewer reasons not to do it.
So he decided to give it a try. The next day they organized themselves to hunt in the mountains, and Williams provided weapons and equipment, as well as helicopter patrols overhead and marked the location of their prey.
The people who come from the metropolis are certainly impatient, and it is impossible to wait for a prey for a day like traditional hunters, what they have to do is to find the target, and just fire it up!
If you want to be more efficient, you can go by helicopter, but everyone feels that this has diluted the sense of victory, so they decide to walk into the mountains and be led by professional hunters.
It is said to be hunting, but in fact, the purpose is to go out for outdoor activities, walk in the green grass and woods, and chat at the same time.
Yang Ming held the shotgun and continued to chat with Williams, "In fact, I have always wanted to build some robots for industrial applications, which can play an effective role in extreme environments or areas where humans can't do it. ”
"I'm currently specializing in the military, but the transition to industrial use is also straightforward. Williams could talk to him.
"But I think your bot algorithm is a weakness. Yang Ming said.
"We're still slow to develop in this area and tend to be artificially controlled, but yesterday you also saw the company's transformation weapons and its intention to make progress in smart applications. ”
"So sell it to users in countries with a relatively low level of education?" Yang Ming thought for a moment, "Complex weapons are handed over to the computer, and people are responsible for simple button operations? ”
Williams said: "You have very good artificial intelligence technology, right? I have learned about the supercar that you have launched, and the system on your body is so superb that I can't see anywhere else in the robotics industry." ”
"It is the crystallization of precision control technology, so to speak, and it can be ranked first in the world. Yang Ming chatted with him while walking, climbed over a few mountains, and did not fire a shot, but talked about the intention to cooperate.
Williams currently has several projects that he is optimistic about, but lacks software technical support, while Yang Ming wants to develop the technology lacks hardware foundation and military project qualifications.
The advantages and weaknesses of the two of them can complement each other's strengths, so Yang Ming has considered learning from each other's skills to help him get off to a faster start-it can be regarded as stealing a teacher.
Of course, his actions are to be paid, in the name of cooperation with the other side, or to jointly set up a project in the field of militarization. In short, the technical exchange between the two sides is not a loss!
Both sides can be regarded as absorbing each other's advantages, and after a day of hunting, there has been a lot of verbal consensus, and even Daniel was surprised, this is really unintentional.
"Let's let our assistant talk. Yang Ming said to Williams.
"Hopefully we can achieve a satisfactory result. Williams nodded.
