Chapter 1369: Bragging and Drawing Cakes
Johnny Payne watched as the boss took his men and children and rode a rubber boat onto the muddy riverbank......
The old man smiled awkwardly, and just as he was about to go down to pick up the boss, he heard Igor greet excitedly, and then two large dogs with a shoulder height of nearly one meter jumped down from the rubber boat......
After the two big dogs sprinted more than ten meters on the muddy ground, the ropes on their bodies suddenly straightened, and then the rubber boat was pulled out of the water, and they slid on the muddy ground for a distance of more than ten meters and stopped at the edge of the jungle.
Johnny Payne looked at the two big dogs with obvious mechanical features, and when he wanted to speak in admiration, a white coat behind him suddenly grabbed his arm and exclaimed in surprise: "The prototype of the 'Fenrir Project' is still in the laboratory, where did the boss get these two ends?" โ
Johnny Payne has become accustomed to what Boss Joe can't say, and last month he took in several robots that were said to have been made from Huaguo's top secret laboratory, and when he checked the robot's performance, he found that they were in perfect harmony with the Tylos system......
At that time, Johnny Payne completely linked Boss Joe with the big countries in the East, and Boss Joe's endless 'good things' also had a reasonable explanation.
This guy is a smart man, and when he 'discovered' the boss's 'secret', he chose to shut up and at the same time opened a product catalog to Boss Joe......
As Boss Joe and the others put their feet on the riverbank, a large tree in the jungle suddenly toppled, and then a small clearing appeared behind Johnny Payne......
Joga stopped Igor from running around with his sister, tugged Kino's ear and asked him to take care of the energetic Igor, then walked up to Johnny Payne, glanced at the white coats of the two big dogs, and said with a smile: "Dude, if this is what you call a surprise, then you will be disappointed." โ
Saying that, Qiao Jia looked up at the unmanned airship overhead, he shook his head and said, "If this is your so-called solution, then I will deduct half of your budget for this year, because I think you are squandering my money." โ
Johnny Payne said confidently: "Boss, this is a plan made up by those Chinese boys.
The wired charging scheme of airship and robot has greatly accelerated the construction of our base.
You should go in with me, it's going to be a huge surprise for you! โ
Qiao Jia shook his head noncommittally and said, "Then go and see ......"
The shape of Telos's labor robot is similar to the robot in the movie "I, Robot".
It's just that the robot working outdoors does not use the translucent plastic in the movie as the shell, but chooses the composite material printed by the 3D printer, which not only has good protection ability, but also looks relatively strong.
As if to show off the advanced nature of the sensing command mode, Johnny Payne arranged for the robots to open the way, all of them hold tools in their hands, control the tools to cut down trees to open the way like real humans, and then use a smooth rhythm that seems a little strange to humans to remove the obstacles from the cut trees.
Johnny Payne's self-designed motor, according to the different functions of each joint, has been redesigned and tuned with the assistance of low torque, so that the robot can show great strength.
Qiao Jia is still satisfied with the flexibility shown by these robots, but the key components of these robots, such as joints and motors, are all processed by his boss, and the price of more than 500,000 US dollars is still a bit exaggerated in terms of market price.
If you want to reduce costs, the first thing to consider is mass production......
It's just that there is still too little demand for this kind of robot in the world, and the only way is to find a large partner to transplant key components to other types of mechanical products, and then use the high output of this machinery to reduce the cost of key components.
Boss Qiao hasn't figured out the specific method yet, but his current demand is not particularly large, so it doesn't matter much if he puts it on for the time being.
The group was led into the jungle by Johnny Payne, and walked some distance along the newly opened road to a clearing......
Watch as the airship slowly lowers dozens of 'tentacles', and then those robots take the initiative to walk under the tentacles......
Then, under the attraction of some kind of magnetic force, the circular patch at the end of the tentacle is attached to the back of the robot, and then several delicate locks hold the robot in place, and then the tentacles are retracted upwards, and the robot is contained inside the airship.
Qiao Jia clearly saw that when the circular patch was sucked on the robot's back, the robot's eyes flashed and lit up with a red light representing charging......
"Isn't this fucking wireless charging, it's fucking long with the charging cable, it's hard to get a plug?
In this way, the cost is a lot higher......"
Johnny Payne invited Boss Joe's family to board several jungle buggies, and when the vehicle started, Johnny Payne said to Boss Joe: "Boss, wireless charging technology is the best solution to solve the anxiety of robot range.
At present, we have a relatively mature solution, and the experiment is basically successful, so the latest robots are all wireless charging models.
This kind of airship carrying robot scheme was thought up by those young people in China, and this scheme is very beneficial for us to build in remote areas, so we built a prototype unmanned airship.
At present, those young people are trying to experiment with the lunar version of the unmanned airship, because the flexible photovoltaic panels we use now are currently the most advanced in the world.
And the best way to get electricity on the moon in the early days is to use solar energy.
If our landing module could carry a photovoltaic balloon of sufficient size, it would be able to charge the engineering robots of our peers.
However, the Moon's atmosphere is extremely rare, and although only a small amount of gas is needed to prop the balloon apart, the Moon's gravitational pull is only one-sixth that of the Earth.
However, in theory, it is not difficult to take off, but if you want to maintain stability, you need some power equipment.
We do not rule out adding a small electromagnetic pulse engine to the balloon, so that the balloon can replace the role of the lunar rover and directly use it as a means of transportation, with tools and robots to do long-distance movement on the moon. โ
Joga didn't know if what Johnny Payne said was possible, but he liked the way he thought about it.
If you change the photovoltaic panels into mobile balloons, you can not only avoid the chaotic meteorite attacks on the moon, but also save the weight and energy consumption required by the lunar rover.
In this way, not only is it more efficient, the exploration range is larger, but the survivability is improved a lot.
The United States did not continue to try after the artificial moon landing in the sixties, not because they couldn't do it, but because it was too cost-effective.
It costs a huge amount of money to send people up and pretend to be a force, and then bring back some lunar samples......
In contrast, the current rover landing is more cost-effective!
However, the rover still has limitations, and the Telos robot provides humans with a way to control the lunar module from a safe place, without the constraints of the fragile human body, and the possibilities are greatly increased.
Thinking purely result-oriented, there is no need to consider the survival and psychological problems of astronauts, in fact, many things can find solutions.
After about 40 minutes of driving along a jungle path, we finally arrived at the 'secret base of the Hexagon'......
The base is built under a huge waterfall......
A boxy concrete building is neatly arranged on the left side of the waterhole below the waterfall.
On the right side of the waterfall is a small nuclear power plant covering an area of about 10 acres.
The laboratory building on the left is a continuation of the Pยท B is pragmatic, the exterior of the building has no beauty at all, and it is more like a fortress than a laboratory.
Because all the buildings are topped with the Mistral Missile System and the anti-aircraft guns......
On a construction site at the end of the laboratory, dozens of four-legged robot workers are laboring, laying steel bars, building molds, and mixing concrete......
Joga could see the difference at a glance, the second half of the lab complex, the style was noticeably more crude, and what was even more interesting was that the robots were significantly more powerful than the ones they had seen before, and Joga didn't see any nearby devices that could charge the robots.
Johnny Payne guessed what Boss Joe was thinking, he proudly pointed to a high-voltage transmission tower nearly 100 meters high on the right, and said proudly: "Boss, this is the best solution......
Nikola Tesla completed the experiment in the eighteenth century!
This is a company in the United States, designed and manufactured wireless microwave power transmission devices, and this company recently went bankrupt, and we only spent 15 million to get all the patents of this company.
With it, the robot can move freely within a radius of 900 meters inside the jungle without worrying about battery life.
With it, we can drive robots to any corner where humans can't set foot to build! โ
Joga looked at Johnny Payne, who was bragging, and said with disgust: "Although Lao Tzu is not a scientist, I know very well how old the infrastructure in the United States is......
If there are no major flaws in such an advanced thing, how can it not be popularized.
If this thing is really easy to use, it is equivalent to creating a chain of industrial upgrading out of thin air.
The cost of building such a tower will not be higher than 2 million, are those power companies stupid?
It's a fucking revolutionary innovation, and whoever comes up with it is the richest man in the world! โ
Johnny Payne listened, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Theoretically feasible, this kind of subversive revolution will lead to earth-shaking changes in the electrical industry."
However, there is still a huge gap in the current world battery industry, and if wireless power transmission is not guaranteed by high-quality batteries, there will be problems with stability.
And, um, and there are some minor issues with this microwave long-range wireless charging, um......"
Qiao Jia sighed and said, "For example, ......"
Johnny Payne laughed dryly and said, "For example, the transmission efficiency is relatively low, and the power waste is more serious......"
Joga looked at the tower, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said, "How much transmission efficiency can be achieved?" โ
Johnny Payne rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "The power transmission efficiency within 200 meters is 25%, after more than 500 meters, the transmission efficiency will drop to 10%, and 900 meters will drop to about 5%......
Of course, if it is on the moon, where there is less wireless interference and there is no shelter, the transmission efficiency will increase a lot. โ
