Chapter 151: Machine Genius

(I ask for a recommendation vote separately for the addition of 352 votes!) )

……

The political reception was successfully concluded.

An Feng felt that it was nothing more than partisans and their backstage supporters getting together to brainstorm strategies that would benefit everyone...... From the perspective of ordinary people, this group of people can indeed dominate economic and political trends, and they belong to the behind-the-scenes power of politicians who are talked about by the people.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the consortium is a circle of businessmen and politicians who are in cahoots, taking the opportunity to make more money, being more greedy, earning money to go back to live a good life, and hoarding it for future generations...... An Feng also joined and contributed his own strength. It's better to have capable people than to go alone, not to mention that they are very strong.

Now An Feng can be proud of his political connections, he knows congressmen, governors, and internal presidential candidates, and putting on a show is definitely a force that cannot be ignored. Of course, it is mainly by the referrals of the partners, so from today onwards, they are all in the same boat.

And then the days went on, and I didn't think there was any difference in getting acquainted with the governor or the candidates, not eating and drinking Lazar every day, and holding women to be tired and happy?

A few days later.

John came to inform that the robotics company had been modified according to his request. Two large factories, a large piece of flat land in front, and a special "H" is drawn. Don't think about it, this must be for An Feng's helicopter docking. The San Jose area is quite far from San Rafael, nearly 100 kilometers.

But...... An Feng ran into trouble again.

Who should manage it?

In the past, he didn't have to bother to run a business, either there were managers or shareholders recommending him, but now he is completely alone, with single-digit staff - that is, construction workers who work these days. But seriously, he is currently running out of manpower, because the workers leave when they finish their work.

"It's not going to work." An Feng scratched his head. I couldn't think of a way to call John.

John said that he was able to accept the current facts, he took an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, and then specialized in some simple but troublesome errands.

An Feng's requirements are very simple, and it is naturally best to be good at business management and the like, but the premise is to be familiar with robots - strictly speaking, he is not a recruitment supervisor now. Rather, he is an expert in the arts. Although the company has a lot of funds, the scale is not large, and most of the employees are technicians.

In the process of waiting, An Feng was thinking about what the robot company should do in the first step?

Getting started is also a challenge.

It is absolutely unrealistic to immediately create a powerful, shocking world-shattering, highly intelligent machine, first there is no material, then there is no sufficiently advanced chip, and there is no basic theory...... So go around to the origin. Let the employees start from the basics, some simple machine parts.

In addition to the idea of small parts, he also planned to draw a set of exoskeletons.

It's an exoskeleton and no armor. If it is an exoskeleton armor, it is generally in the field of military application, and the production process is very complex and the cost is very high, so the exoskeleton is simple. Walking on crutches may also be called an exoskeleton, but it works with a more complex hydraulic system.

There are companies in the United States that specialize in the study of exoskeletons in the military field. For example, SarcosXOS2. In the case of an emergency in fire-fighting work, the weight of firefighters will reach 120 kilograms, which is equivalent to putting out fires with their own lives.

If equipped with an exoskeleton, it can easily make the firefighter's weight exceed 200 pounds. The exoskeleton can also assist and strengthen muscle movements, so firefighters can go up to the 20th floor in one breath without difficulty, and more agile skills can naturally rescue more trapped people.

An Feng's first goal is it.

Because the first step of a highly intelligent robot is also an exoskeleton, it will take several years, or even more than ten years of development. to replace the humans in the exoskeleton with machines...... Therefore, An Feng founded a robot company without publicity, which basically can't make money, and will operate in debt.

……

An Feng waited for a recruitment event, strictly speaking, it should be that he made an appointment with the person who was recommended, and then he presided over the company's scientific and technological research and development.

This guy's name is Colin. Hoffman, who was the head of the battery group at GP Corporation, Eitan Brown. Bassett introduced.

Bassett emphasized that he is a genius when it comes to robotics.

An Feng stared at him for a while, genius? He has a thin build, wears a pair of short-sighted glasses, and has messy hair, like a raunchy otaku. He was stared at by An Feng, and he was a little overwhelmed, his eyes were rolling around, and his lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something silently.

But his resume looks very powerful, he has two master's degrees at the age of twenty-five, both of which are related to robotics, and then look at his previous study career, almost all of them are compressed and completed, and he completed the credits that others spent two years on, and he completed them in one year. If that's right...... He's such a genius.

An Feng pressed his resume under his hand and asked, "Do you like robots very much?" ”

Hoffman paused for a moment before coming back to his senses, nodded and stammered a little: "Yes, I, Mr. An, I have built a lot of robots, the small ones are mini robot mice, robot dogs; Medium-sized multi-rotor coaxial aircraft, plus a patented cleaning robot ......"

An Feng smiled: "Relax, I'm not a person who values eloquence too much, as long as you have strength, it doesn't matter if you can speak." You tell me? ”

Hoffman nodded: "Agreed, I, sir." ”

An Feng picked up a drawing he brought and handed it to the table: "You take a look at this exoskeleton, and then talk about your point of view casually." ”

Hoffman walked over and picked up the drawings, and when he looked at it, the whole person seemed to be immobilized, staring without blinking, completely forgetting about sitting back.

An Feng didn't interrupt him, and waited calmly.

"It's missing a few parts." Hoffman said abruptly.

"Please go on." An Feng nodded, he did deliberately draw some parts in this drawing, but for a person who has not been in contact for a long time, it can be quickly seen, which means that he is very specialized in this aspect, or that his talent is also helping him to digest these contents.

"It's very cleverly designed, but with a few things missing in the elbows, legs, and back, it should be a perfect piece......" Hoffman pursed his lips and gestured with his fingers on the paper. Round this out and add a small hydraulic, no, it's two! ”

An Feng nodded: "Go on." ”

When it comes to professionalism, Hoffman speaks very fluently, and even found out all the places that An Feng deliberately reduced. He even has some modification plans of his own, although there is a bit of a gap in An Feng's mind, but to be able to do this, An Feng admires from the bottom of his heart, this guy's talent is very good.

I talked about the drawing for half an hour. Hoffman watched bitterly as An Feng crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash.

An Feng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Hoffman!" If you stand out from the competition, our company will hire you as a technical supervisor! ”

An Feng also shook hands with Hoffman, who was stunned, and made a good appearance - if anyone knew that there was only one candidate for this recruitment.

An Feng said: "I'm sure you'll feel like you're getting the money's worth. The drawings are just a beginner, and there are more complex mechanics waiting for you. ”

"Really?" Hoffman came to his senses.

An Feng nodded: "Of course, we not only pursue portability, but also pursue lightweight and concealment. ”

"Thank you, Mr. An!" Hoffman said happily. He still doesn't know what to do, and he is happy to think that Maxima has been hit by Bole. I've been excited for a long time.

An Feng didn't tell him this beautiful lie.

……

Hoffman is a genius, he knows almost everything about the history of research and development of robots or exoskeletons, from the last century to the present, any machine that has ever appeared in the world, eye-catching exoskeletons. He memorized it all backwards and summed up his own opinions.

"The most important points at the moment are the design of materials, energy, controls and biological shapes. Materials, controls, and form have all improved dramatically, but energy sources have always been an issue. Although the main drive mode is hydraulic, the energy supplied to the central chip must be sufficient, otherwise it will not be able to respond to the behavior of the organism, which is equivalent to losing the sensitive control of the exoskeleton......"

An Feng listened to his views quietly, and communicating with each other was conducive to him finding out Hoffman's foundation, in fact, his head was very useful, and he was very imaginative, An Feng occasionally gave him a few key knowledge points, this guy made a while, and then used it reasonably.

An Feng wondered, is it possible to explain advanced knowledge by himself, and he can quickly understand it?

Later, he did this deliberately, making it more and more difficult to talk about things, and frequently asked him how much he understood, this guy frowned at first, but later, when he listened to him methodically retell An Feng's thoughts just now, and then use his own views to add some new ideas, it was An Feng's turn to be surprised.

"Good!" An Feng nodded and applauded. If it weren't for the hanging he just now, it is estimated that he would be a scumbag in front of Hoffman, which is not worth mentioning.

Hoffman still wanted to continue to ask him something, but it was not too early, and An Feng had to go back to pick up his wife from school, so he agreed to continue to talk here tomorrow.

On the night of going home, An Feng called Bassett, who recommended Hoffman, this guy is really unremarkable, and he actually recommended a genius to him.

After listening to An Feng's description, Bassett said with a smile: "His performance has always been amazing, and even some of his views are too absurd, listening to his classmates, professors may not necessarily agree with these strange views." But there is one thing to note, that is, his communication skills are not strong, and he is a little childish. ”

An Feng paused for a moment and asked, "You mean it really?" ”

Bassett said solemnly: "Yes, this can only be said to be God's requirement that everyone be equal, when he worked in the last company, he specialized in some research with advanced concepts, and even the research department did not have so much budget for him...... Therefore, I implore Mr. An to be more lenient with him. ”

Later, An Feng really realized a little.

He is indeed very strong in the professional field, An Feng once joked that he was an "elementary school teacher", but when facing Hoffman, he was going to be a "high school teacher", and the students' questions occasionally made him stop to think, and if he couldn't explain clearly, it was a little difficult to get out.

In addition, this guy also regarded the company office as his own home, and lived in it after getting used to it, pondering the drawings An Feng gave him all night, usually when An Feng came to the office, he would find a mess, disposable paper cups all over the floor, and stinky socks thrown on the table, clothes that had not been washed for a few days, if you look carefully, you can also find a "homeless man" curled up in the corner of the waste paper pile.

Hoffman rarely speaks, if he talks about other things, life, family, he will be very dull, unable to hold back a few words, you always need to pause to explain, and his reaction will be half a beat slower, making you feel bored, and when it comes to the worst, he even has a strange feeling that he and he do not live in the same dimension......

Moreover, his brain is too developed, his ideas are very complicated, some ideas are wrong, some are correct, and it is difficult for his ideas to go all the way without the guidance of others. That's why he's been fired from another company: there's no guarantee that he'll be right in the future.

But now it's different, An Feng can keep him on the right path.

This guy is a scourge that consumes the budget and has no results if he wants to be placed in other companies, but here in An Feng, he is a genius who holds the truth.

He was simply born for An Feng's robot plan. (To be continued......)
