The place where Cheng Yuan and others are now going is the New Hope Research Center in Sweden, which, unlike the robot factory that was stormed by the demonstrators, is not in the city center, but on an island outside Stockholm.

Due to the remote location of the island, there is no undersea subway, and only two bridges connect to the outside world. In the past, it was a private estate, but when it was acquired by Vivien, it became the research center of the Ostein Group, known to outsiders as the New Hope Research Center for the development of general robotics.

That's right, although Cheng Yuan has always been under the guise of construction robots, but a discerning person knows at a glance that the robots that Cheng Yuan is engaged in are a series of general-purpose robots, not just construction.

The helicopter flew very fast, and after a while, it landed on the tarmac in the center of the island, and there was already a ticket of black suits and white coats waiting there.

The leader among these people is naturally Cheng Yuan's old friend Alfonso, this guy doesn't look young, but he has a good brain, not only has a set of research, but also has a set of dealing with people, and belongs to the type of technocrats.

After the group met, because there were outsiders present, it was inconvenient for Alfonso and Cheng Yuan to say more, just a brief handshake and greeting, and then Cheng Yuan and his party were invited into the reception room to rest.

Of course, when he arrived here, it was actually Cheng Yuan's own territory, and the previous faction was just to make a show in front of Wang Tao and others, reveal a little information to Hua Guozhengaxe, and when they got to the reception room, they would part ways.

Sure enough, after the group came to the reception room, a white humanoid robot immediately came over with tea, and the white coat staff accompanying them explained to Wang Tao and Shen Hong, saying how this kind of robot can replace manpower and how to interact with human-computer.

After listening to the explanation of the white coat personnel, Shen Hong and Wang Tao couldn't help but be curious, and began to have a voice conversation with the robot, and found that the robot could really understand what they said, and make a certain reaction, and even make cold jokes.

Seeing that the two of them began to be attracted, Cheng Yuan and Fanya left here under the pretext that something was wrong.

Of course, the reason why Cheng Yuan can leave so generously is also because Wang Tao and Shen Hong are just bodyguards, with a little monitoring task by the way, but they are not stupid people who don't know how to be flexible.

Originally, this visit was a matter of Cheng Yuan, and they were just entourage.

After getting rid of Wang Tao and Shen Hong, only Cheng Yuan, Fanya and Alfonso remained, everyone was not so restrained, after all, they were all members of the same organization.

"The team leader can come here in person, we are really hitting a wall." Alfonso said with a smile in Chinese.

"Dust on the wall?" Cheng Yuan blinked, "It's Peng Shenshi, the pronunciation is inaccurate...... By the way, you actually speak Chinese? When did you learn it? ”

"Hehe, I learned it the other day." Alfonso smiled, "Since I knew that the team leader was going to come to investigate, I studied for a week, and I was finally able to speak Chinese briefly." Hey, speaking of which, this Chinese is really difficult to learn, I only used two days to learn Spanish, and it only took three days to learn German. ”

"Yes." Cheng Yuan smiled, "It seems that the green flash still has some effect." ”

"Of course it works." Alfonso suddenly became excited, "I haven't eaten green glitter, I don't know the beauty of this kind of thing, that doesn't mean that you get illusory pleasure, but it really improves your IQ level, makes your thinking faster, your judgment is stronger, and you are energetic all the time!" ”

"Looks like you like that." Cheng Yuan nodded.

"yes." Alfonso sighed, "If I said that when I first started to eat that little blue pill, I still had some scruples and hesitates, but everything that happened after that, especially after eating the little green pill, I felt that my previous life was in vain!" ”

Speaking of this, Alfonso narrowed his eyes, revealing an intoxicated expression: "Do you know what it feels like to have a super memory and a super fast mind? Do you know what it feels like to be energized all the time? The thrill of solving a problem that you couldn't solve in the past, and now being easily solved by you, the scene where whimsical ideas keep coming, you can't understand it at all if you don't feel it. It is a flash of wisdom, the ultimate pursuit of human beings, and the greatest enjoyment of human beings! Compared to the thrill of the explosion of intelligence in the brain, any money, women, etc., is nothing! ”

"Looks like you've finally found the path you're looking for, and you're ready to keep going, which is good." Cheng Yuan nodded, "People always have to pursue a little, and a life without pursuit and faith is sad." ”

"Yes." Alfonso also nodded, "It's my greatest blessing to be able to join the organization and be able to do my research so much, and I'm proud to be a part of the organization." ”

"It's a bit too much." Cheng Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, don't talk about these expressions of loyalty and the like, after all, what you do, the organization sees it...... Let's talk about your new achievements, let's not just look at your achievements? ”

"Yes, yes, indeed." Alfonso smiled, then took his hand, "Please come with me, I'll take you somewhere." ”

After speaking, Alfonso led the way, and soon came to an electric car, got into the cab himself, and asked Cheng Yuan to get into the car with Fanya.

After Cheng Yuan and Fania got into the car, Alfonso drove into an underground tunnel and drove through it for a full ten minutes before stopping in front of a metal gate.

Next, Alfonso got out of the car, entered the code into the keypad in front of the smart lock in front of the door, and irradiated the iris of his own eyes, before the metal door burst open.

After the door opened, Alfonso said, "Please come with me, this is the factory where the simplified robot is produced." ”

Nodding his head, he didn't speak, Cheng Yuan entered first, and after entering, it was still a corridor, after walking through this corridor, he pushed open a door, and saw that there was a workshop with a large space, with a complex three-dimensional assembly line, and there were almost no people in it, most of them were mechanized, and those mechanized assembly lines were models of robots, and the whole feeling was like watching a science fiction movie.

"How's that, that's cool." Finding that Cheng Yuan and Fania were both in a daze, Alfonso said proudly, "Doesn't it feel like science fiction?" ”

"Sort of." Cheng Yuan nodded, "It's really shocking. ”

"That's the charm of large-scale industrial production." Alfonso smiled, "Actually, the 3D printed prototype robot is a little stronger, but in terms of the production process, it is far less impactful than this kind of large production line." ”

"Indeed." Cheng Yuan nodded, walked forward, watched the robots being hoisted up one by one, and then loaded the parts, "These are all simplified versions?" ”

"Yes." "The main components of these robots are made of steel, not carbon fiber nanosteel and other materials, plus large-scale assembly line operations, so the cost will be very favorable." However, after all, it is steel, and there is still a gap compared to robots made of 3D printed nanomaterials. ”

"How big is the gap?" Cheng Yuan asked.

"It's hard to say how big the gap is, after all, it's not intuitive enough to just say that." Alfonso shook his head, "In fact, the gap is mainly reflected in the power output, after all, nano materials are lighter and stronger, and the utilization rate of power is higher, while steel materials are a little heavier, and there will be some loss in power output, but it is not serious." Actually, the robot you saw before you came in here was this kind of steel robot, and you also saw it, he was very flexible, but his expression was a little dull. ”

"Oh." Cheng Yuan nodded, "That's not bad, what is the power system of this steel robot?" ”

"The powertrain is all electric." "In order to reduce costs, these robots are equipped with batteries in their bodies and are divided into different versions.

Among them, the low-end version for homes and ordinary factories uses a lithium polymer battery, which can work continuously for 12 hours when fully charged. Moreover, this kind of robot can also be directly plugged into AC power to work, which can fully meet the needs of homes and ordinary factories.

As for the high-end version that needs to work outdoors, we chose a hydrogen fuel cell, after using a hydrogen fuel cell, the robot can work outdoors for seven days in a row, and it is easy to replace, just change a battery, and you can continue to work again. ”

"That's right." Cheng Yuan nodded, "It's pretty good, but in terms of battery energy, you still have to work harder." ”

"Rest assured, we are working on PR." "At present, we have designed several high-efficiency low-cost fuel cells, and if the test is completed, it can be promoted to the market." ”

"Good." Cheng Yuan nodded, "By the way, before I came here, I saw a crowd of demonstrators storming a factory, that's where you produce robots, right?" ”

"Yes." Alfonso nodded, "I've heard about your previous experience, but the place you see is only one of the factories we set up outside, not all. The main reason why the factory attracted people to come and demonstrate was that the factory there was a factory specializing in the production of robot warriors, and it had a certain sensitive surname, so it caused unnecessary panic among some people, and it was not liked by the police. ”

"Robot warriors?" Cheng Yuan frowned, "No wonder, I said, with the shrewdness of the Swedes, how could they not see the benefits that robots can bring to them, after all, this is a good medicine to maintain their high-welfare society." It turns out that what they oppose is not robots, but the militarization of robots. ”

"Who's to say it's not." "Swedes just like to worry about the sky and make a fuss. ”

"It's really sensitive to produce robot warriors, who told you to militarize robots?"

"No way, this is what the Swedish military demanded." Alfonso shrugged his shoulders, "Earlier, they came to visit the factory, especially after asking about the cost, they immediately placed an order to make a batch of military robots. Because the order was very profitable, we assembled a special production line and modified some of the control programs to produce military robots. The military robots include humanoid robots, spider robots, and robots in the shape of armored vehicles. Of course, those robots are high-end versions, and they all use fuel cells, so they are powerful and fully qualified to deal with general military operations. ”

"I'm not asking you whether these robots are militarized or not, I mean the impact, we have to make sure that the robots don't intervene in the military too early, so that it is in the best interest for all of us." Cheng Yuan said this, and suddenly shook his head, "Forget it, it's useless to tell you this, I'd better find someone else, in short, you quickly stop the militarized robot factory, and stop engaging in robot warriors." ”

"But then the loss will be huge." "First of all, the production line we set up is very expensive, and secondly, the military signed an agreement with us, if the agreement is violated, not to mention the high compensation, the key is that it will offend the military, which is not a good thing." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Cheng Yuan smiled, "It's just right, don't Swedes like to care about national affairs?" Don't you like to march and demonstrate, and like to participate in politics? Then make things bigger, make the discussion of the robot warriors a little more lively, and let the public opinion stop the military's order. Just let the Swedish military cancel the order, then you guys will be fine. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yuan paused, and suddenly said: "Speaking of this, I suddenly thought that those militarized robots can completely become policemen instead of soldiers...... Alfonso, what do you think of changing those military robots into police? ”

"Police? Robocop? ”

"Yes."

"Well, I guess that's going to be good." Alfonso smiled, "I've seen the Robocop movie too, it's a good, cool decision." As for the technical aspect, this is not a difficult task, as long as you enter a few more commands and have the robot painted with the robot logo. ”

"That's right," Cheng Yuan continued, "you can let the robot be paired with an ordinary human policeman, so that the pressure of insufficient police force can be greatly relieved, so that the problem is not so sensitive." ”

"yes." Alfonso smiled, noncommittal.

Also, he is responsible for the production of robots, and as for how to use the robots after they are produced, it is none of his business.

"Okay, that's pretty much the case here, that's all." Cheng Yuan then asked, "I'm not just here to see this, what I'm most interested in is actually what you said about other projects, such as nanochips, and 5G mobile communication systems." (To be continued.) )
