Chapter 72: High-Level Dialogue (Part I) Asking for Recommendations

"Hello." Chen Shen took the phone and said hello to the other side.

A kind but neutral voice came from the other side: "Hello, classmate Chen, this is our first call. ”

"You've been surprising us these days, and I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I've been busy lately, and I finally found time to spake until today."

Chen Shen quickly retrieved the voice in his mind, well... I'm sure it's a voice that I hear a lot on TV.

Seeing that Chen Shen didn't reply, he thought he was nervous, smiled, and said, "I've been paying attention to these projects you've been working on recently, and I also watched your new experiments in the laboratory just now, although I can't hear the sound, but it should be successful." ”

"Yes." Chen Shen replied: "From the level of three-person synaesthesia, the effect of liquefied neuron connection technology is perfect now, and in the future, they only need to improve their synaesthesia duration through training." ”

"I've always been a big fan of neuronal connectivity."

He muttered, "One of the reasons I spoke to you this time was to ask you about your prospects for controlling non-humanoid machines. ”

"In foreign countries, there have been examples of using brain-computer interface technology to control drones, and we have also tried internally transplanting the system on the Boxer to unmanned fighters, but the results are not very ideal."

Chen Shen touched his chin and said, "Neuron connection technology is the most efficient way to control humanoid machines, because the actions that humanoid machines can do, we humans can basically do, so the retrieval and decoding of neural signals will be very fast."

If it is on a mecha, the pilot can also cooperate with the decoding of the signal according to the synchronized movement of the body, so there will be no decoding errors. ”

"But if you want to control a machine such as a drone, you need a new set of decoding algorithms to match the various nerve signals of the human body with the actions that the machine needs to perform."

"For example, different operations such as starting the engine of the aircraft and launching weapons need to match a different neural signal, and there are many various operations on the aircraft, so this is a very complex system engineering."

It sounds very advanced just to hear that foreign countries can already use brain-computer technology to control drones, but if you think about the definition of control.

I only start the airplane and am controlled.

The plane is not only launched, but also can go to the sky, perform various maneuvers, and launch weapons at will, which is also called control.

The definition of this word is very broad.

According to the current decoding of neural signals by brain-computer technology, it is very good that they can keep the plane from crashing.

"Would you like to delve deeper into this area now?" There was a tentative way.

Chen Shen thought for a while and said, "My current projects are enough, and now I plan to continue to work hard in the direction of three-person synaesthesia." ”

The other side didn't seem surprised by this answer, just smiled and continued: "The three-person sensing has been successful now, so what are you going to do next?" ”

"What's next? The next step is to build a robotic arm larger than a boxer, and first test the extreme pressure that a human can carry when connected to a large mech. ”

The other end of the phone was visibly stunned for a moment, "That large mecha refers to the Crimson Storm you mentioned earlier?" ”

"Yes." Chen Shen readily admitted.

He rubbed his brows and said with a headache: "We have conducted a detailed evaluation of your project and held a meeting, and many of the technologies and theories in it are very forward-looking, but spending 20 billion or more funds to test these theories in a short period of time is a huge risk and an impulsive act."

In fact, we are more inclined to transform these theories into other related fields first, and slowly verify and digest them, so that there is a higher cost performance, and we are not short of these time, you are only approaching 15 years old now, there is still a lot of time, and the future is very bright. ”

Chen Shen actually understood the mood and thoughts of the other side very well, after all, he was the only one who knew about the existence of the system.

A large mecha like Crimson Tempest, but any normal person knows that it is impossible to develop it for only 20 billion yuan.

In the Rim One, the Hunter Project with 36 mechs spent in trillions of dollars.

Among these funds, the bulk of the mecha is not in the construction of the mecha, but in the design and maintenance of the mecha.

The design of the mecha requires a large number of preliminary verification experiments, using a lot of manpower and material resources, and striving to design the mecha as quickly as possible and create it to fight against monsters.

At that time, every hair lost by researchers in various countries was equivalent to the same weight of gold.

The cost in the research and development process is calculated in tens of billions, and the cost of manufacturing a mecha is not so high.

Therefore, his behavior of asking for 20 billion funds now, in the eyes of others, is more like a kind of behavior of using money first, and then continuing to ask for it when there is no money later.

At that time, we will either continue to invest money in research, or urgently suspend the project and directly harvest the results of scientific research.

But who can guarantee what will come out then?

Maybe after investing 20 billion yuan, only one billion worth of results will be recovered? Isn't this 19 billion a direct loss? Who will be responsible for this loss of tens of billions at that time?

Can the initiator of his project escape responsibility?

Wasting so much money, if you are not careful, you will end up in ruin.

Two tens of billions of trust is too expensive.

At that time, the whole project can easily become a bottomless pit of constantly investing money and then losing money, and his genius may be ruined and have a big stain on his back.

After all, what he gave out was the technical outline of Crimson Storm, and it was not a complete technique, and others didn't dare to fully trust him in this matter.

Only Chen Shen himself knew that he could really use two hundred billion to create a crimson storm.

After all, his skills are all trolls...... The system gives no such thing as R&D costs.

Under such circumstances, it is really not an outrageous thing to create a crimson storm with 20 billion yuan.

After all, the weight of the red storm is 1,722 tons, and the cost per ton is 11 million, and the price of domestic industrial pure titanium materials is only 80,000 tons, and the most expensive titanium alloy will not exceed 600,000 tons.

After deducting the costs related to the construction of materials, processing, and procurement, some of the 20 billion can be used to build supporting bases and facilities.

Chen Shen knew this was an opportunity to persuade.

He was greedy when he looked at the storm red in the system and the technology on it, and he was uncomfortable if he didn't make it.

"Would you like to hear my reasons for causing the Crimson Tempest?" He thought for a moment and asked on the other end of the line.

"I want to hear about it."

Chen Shen said with a serious face: "Actually, I think that creating a crimson storm is not only a matter at the level of technology and industry, but it can also be linked to our economic and cultural output. ”

The man over there sat up straight and listened carefully.
