"If it's not a pure robot, it's not a human wearing a piece of armor, it's a half-machine, half-biochemical combined state, do we have this technology now?"

"Theoretically, it is possible to try, but because of the volunteers involved and the follow-up issues, it is not possible to carry out this project at this time. Unless the president does find a volunteer and can make arrangements for his transformed life, I personally don't recommend this kind of research. ”

The person in charge reminded Midong seriously.

It's the usual top floor of the Miyamoto Twin Towers, and three days have passed, and Mito has finally made herself a trustworthy expert. The other party is a lifelong honorary professor at the University of Tokyo's School of Medicine, a Nobel laureate in medicine, and the director of a large hospital under the foundation.

Of course, he is also a technical consultant in exoskeleton armor technology, with a total of three master's degrees in physics, which he obtained as a hobby after work, and he is simply a monster.

His name is Takashi Mikami, the image of an ordinary old man with half-bald hair, wearing a smart suit, his eyes are calm, and he is very professional. According to the Ministry of Human Resources, when Midon was his great-grandfather, he was admitted to the School of Medicine of Tokyo University with the support of the foundation, and since then, he has been working in the research laboratory of the foundation, and then joined Miyamoto Pharmaceutical for 20 years. As for the current status of the hospital director and school professor, it is a matter of the last few years.

Therefore, it is basically difficult to find a more worthy new subordinate, especially as a righteous Yamato clan, Midong is not worried about where he can leak his secrets. Compared to what the Miyamoto family once giving, who can provide enough bargaining chips for him to commit an act of betrayal?

"Just have your words, you can try it in theory."

Midong pondered for a moment and asked, "So what exactly does it need?" Do you really try to make a different argument and make it purely a technical discussion, what kind of preparation is required? ”

Is it just a technical discussion?

Takashi Mikami blinked quietly, of course he wouldn't say anything about it.

As an expert in the field of biology and medicine, he had a few months ago with Tokugawa, who is in charge of hybrid rice in the group, and shared his views on the new chairman. is the so-called three fires for new officials, and now they are young girls in power, so they should naturally have a plan to show their ambitions. Of course, he didn't know what the girl had done so far, and that wasn't something he could get involved in, but since he found himself today, could he just listen for the sake of listening?

Pondering the words, Takashi Mikami began to answer.

"The main problem of this type of technology is energy supply, if the latest hydrogen and oxygen fuel cells are used, and the individual soldier carries it as the standard, it can be technically realized, but the cost is extremely high. So, while we could try it on one or two volunteers as an experiment, it wouldn't be possible unless we could reduce energy costs. ”

"As for the amount of power, I can't give a precise number right now, if it is to drive the latest armor, the battery volume can be compressed to the extent of a mobile phone based on an hour of normal operation, but the price will be at least five million...... Dollar bar. ”

Midong blinked, almost not holding back the urge to grin.

An hour of normal operation would have to be equipped with a five-million-dollar battery, which is not far from the price of another set of armor, and this is just a battery. And the so-called one-hour operation is the absolute standard of cheating, which is the same as the longest range of a fighter, it can fly so far and return so far, but the actual combat radius and even the air combat time, how can it not be compressed?

"High cost...... It's a good thing. ”

However, after a moment of silence, Midong said: "If it is really cheap to a certain extent, the world has to be messed up, can it really fly up to the sky?" Even if it is true that the current pace of social development is getting faster and faster, think about us...... The world when I was first born, a generation of kung fu is running around with super soldiers, do you want to be a little more sci-fi? ”

After she finished speaking, both of them couldn't help laughing, and Takashi Mikami, who was more than seventy years old in cash, was not the one with the deepest feelings.

Because the situation is really obvious, whether it is the exoskeleton armor, or the cyborg biochemical human brain hole that Midong is now proposing, it is a product of science fiction comics from the last century. Iron Man and Ghost in the Shell, as well as old classics like Blade Runner, are all great ideas that have been amazing until now, and now they are barely possible!

"Energy is one thing, and the other is mechanical prosthetics."

The laughter came to an end, and it was Takashi Mikami's further answer: "This technology is already very mature, as early as the beginning of this century, my country was able to develop a robotic arm that is absolutely fake, I mean, to fully realize the full function of the human hand, that is, the problem of flexibility." As for prosthetics, the difficulty is only in the neural connections, and the energy can be provided by the battery installed in the robotic arm, so it is not a problem until now......"

All in all, it's not a problem.

The technical difficulties have been overcome, but the cost is extremely high, but if you don't plan to mass production, Meidong will certainly be able to pay such a sum of money. The main reason for the high cost of military equipment is that it needs to flatten the cost of research and development, and if Meidong wants to build, of course, it is to directly regard the first product as the final model, since it saves countless re-experiments, the price is naturally low.

Or is the cost of maintenance still extremely high?

"Let's not talk about volunteers, this technology does need to be further studied."

After sending off Takashi Mikami, Midong silently analyzed. The other party made it very clear that the robotic arm and neural connection technology are not a problem, but the cost is high, but if you continue to research to reduce the cost, you may really be able to realize a world like "Ghost in the Shell". Although Midong may have to wait a few decades to see that kind of situation, if she can make herself an Edison-like existence, what is the cost now?

"Well, whether it should be Watt or Edison, leave it to future generations to evaluate, anyway, this project is a research. Anyway, the old lady's tens of billions of dollars of gold are slowly realized there, isn't it just to throw it into this kind of thing, then throw it. ”

Then Meidong knew very well that since she really planned to start such a project, the screening of the first volunteer should be put on the agenda as soon as possible......
