In the laboratory, Zheng Hai, who had already completed the experiment and test, retracted his thoughts, took off the control helmet and walked out.

Xu Chuan looked over and asked curiously, "How do you feel?" ”

Zheng Hai thought for a moment before he replied: "It's a magical feeling, especially when the perspective and picture transmitted back by the drone will appear in my mind, it's a bit like I have an extra natural arm (drone), but this feeling is very vague." ”

After a pause, he added: "This technology is completely different from the neural devices and virtual devices that I have tested in the military before. ”

Xu Chuan glanced at him in some surprise and asked curiously, "Have you experienced other products of this kind before?" ”

Zheng Hai smiled and replied: "It's normal, the nature of my work is destined for me to come into contact with all kinds of cutting-edge scientific and technological equipment, especially those that can be used in the military. After all, only by understanding the nature and ability of these things can we do our work better. ”

"What were the old ones like?" Xu Chuan asked quickly.

After thinking about it, Zheng Hai said: "It's a bit similar to controlling the keyboard to play games, what skills do you press, what methods do you think of in your mind, and the controlled device can carry out the corresponding activities, which requires high concentration and attention." ”

And Xu Xiao made this more relaxed, and some ideas in his mind were born, and it could capture it. What's even more amazing is that it can also give feedback on some images and feelings that drones can capture, although it is rarely and blurry. ”

Xu Chuan nodded, looked at Xu Xiao after thinking for a while, and said, "Xiaoxiao, speaking of which, can your neural control equipment be used to control robots or exoskeletons and other equipment?" ”

It is not uncommon to control a robot or exoskeleton through a neural control device.

Even in some countries, including China, there are armies that have used this technology.

In 2019, a wearable individual exoskeleton power equipment challenge was held in China, attracting hundreds of teams to participate in the competition.

In this challenge, a variety of individual exoskeletons developed by various units also made a wonderful appearance, and every soldier wearing exoskeleton suits to carry materials was vigorous.

In fact, the purpose of the development of exoskeleton suits is not only to increase the weight of soldiers, but more importantly, to reduce the probability of bone diseases in soldiers. Due to the popularization of equipment mechanization in modern warfare, a single soldier needs to carry basic equipment on the battlefield, such as helmets, guns, ammunition, grenades, first aid kits and other materials, adding up to dozens of kilograms.

Long-term overload not only affects the combat effectiveness of soldiers when marching and fighting, but also causes bone diseases.

For example, during the Kuwait War, many soldiers in the United States had bone diseases caused by too much weight, resulting in the rice army spending about 500 million meters of gold every year to treat soldiers' bone diseases.

If the exoskeleton controlled by the nervous system can be used to replace the soldier to complete or reduce the load, it is tantamount to greatly improving the combat capability.

However, at present, some exoskeletons on the market have great disadvantages.

There are two main parts, one is that the battery life depends on the battery, and it cannot be used for a long time.

This part depends on the technical improvement of the battery, and the lithium dendrite problem has been solved by him, and I believe that the follow-up problem will soon be solved to a certain extent.

Another problem is the problem of control and flexibility.

Current exoskeletons are basically measured by sensors bound to muscles, which can be used, but it also limits the flexibility of soldiers.

Those large-scale, angled movements are difficult to complete.

And this problem, in Xu Xiao's research, Xu Chuan saw hope for a solution.

Of course, the premise is that this kind of neural control device can be applied to exoskeletons and robots.

"Of course!"

Hearing Xu Chuan's question, Xu Xiao raised his head and said proudly: "The biggest difference between this new induction technology and other neural control devices is the command control system. ”

"Other devices are based on brain waves, which are emitted and then converted, and then controlled through wireless or data networks. The one we developed uses the latest bio-simulation mode, which first simulates the controlled equipment into a human-like mechanism, and then feeds back the fuzzy instructions to the human brain, and then calls back the control mode. ”

"The advantage of this is that as Brother Zheng just said, it makes the whole drone feel like its own arm or the original parts of the body."

"The human exoskeleton and bionic robot will theoretically only be more adapted to the control of the brain than the drone, after all, its own mechanism is similar to the human body, and it is made through bionic and human simulation technology."

After a pause, Xu Xiaochang breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and continued: "However, it requires us to completely sort out the human body's neural signal library and make corresponding responses and control systems, which will take at least a few years, not to mention, and also require a lot of money and funds to have hope." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan touched her head with a smile and said, "Time and money are not a problem, as long as you feel that there is hope to do it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "That's it, I'll invest 200 million in you."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then jumped three feet high in excitement, walked up quickly, hugged Xu Chuan's arm and began to be cute.

"Dude! Are you sure? ”

"Is it really 200 million?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "There is no problem with two hundred million, but there are conditions." ”

"I can agree to any conditions!" Xu Xiao blurted out.

Xu Chuan glanced at his sister who had jumped out, and continued: "It's very simple, this money is not directly given to you, but a company will be registered, and you and Mizuki University will cooperate on projects in the name of the company. You need to sort out and report on the use of funds, the progress and direction of the project, and other common investment work. ”

"In addition, in terms of project investment, future interests and equity, I need to account for more than 50 percent, and the remaining 50 percent, as the person in charge, how much you take, and how much Mizuki University takes, you consider this yourself."

The reason why he came up with a whole company was that he was a little worried that Xu Xiao would not be able to control it, after all, the number of 200 million was too big, at least for Xu Xiao.

On the other hand, he is more optimistic about this research, investment in the field of virtual reality will be a hot field in the future, and Xu Xiao's research direction is also very prominent.

If we can do that, we will have a huge market in various fields such as medical, military, industrial, and gaming.

And aside from this first investment, in his opinion, additional investment is definitely needed.

If it weren't for the fear of scaring Xu Xiao, the first investment of 200 million would be just a number for him.

Two hundred million, in his opinion, is unlikely or basically impossible to solve this problem.

On the other side, Fuxing Road.

The General Building of the Industrial and Information Warehouse.

Sitting in the office, an old man with gray hair and a pair of reading glasses slowly read the report document in his hand.

Opposite him was Wu Yuankang, the leader of the Space Agency, who was sitting upright on the sofa.

After half a ring, the old man behind the desk reached out and took off his glasses, put down the report document in his hand, and shook his head gently.

"This matter, the old aerospace side has done a bit too much."

After the bidding meeting on manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects came to an end yesterday, Wu Yuankang sorted out the relevant report documents and meeting minutes as soon as possible, and sent them to the space agency's boss the next day.

After all, manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects are now in a completely different position than they used to be.

In the past, although the development and research in the field of aerospace in China were not very remote, they were not very important.

The entire aerospace field adds up to only one or two billion dollars in funds and funds a year. Of course, the funds in the field of defense and aerospace are not counted.

It sounds like a lot, but for an economic power like China, it can even be said to be dispensable.

If it weren't for the fact that many technologies in the aerospace field could still be applied to national defense technology, the development of the aerospace field in China before would probably be to send satellites to the sky and engage in space stations.

Those technologies such as Mars exploration are often forced to follow up by competitors and the international situation, and their own demand for this is not high.

After all, it is difficult for the investment of aerospace leaders to bring positive returns in a short period of time.

Although it can brush up a wave of prestige at home and abroad, whether it is landing on the moon or on fire, there are not many things and benefits that can be bringed.

However, the situation is different now, and today's aerospace field can be said to be a popular fried chicken in scientific research projects.

The space agency's planned funds for the two projects discussed at this bidding meeting alone, the "Solicitation of Plans for the Transportation of Earth-Moon Cargo for the Lunar Exploration Project" and the "Solicitation of Plans for the Construction of Temporary/Permanent Bases on the Lunar Surface," have exceeded 30 billion yuan, with an average of 15 billion yuan per project.

After calculation, one project is enough to cover the expenditure of a whole year in the aerospace field in the past.

Not only the funds, but also the leaders at the top attach great importance to the development of the aerospace field, and have asked about related matters more than once.

Therefore, even the industry and information industry have to follow along with the attention of the space agency.

Among them, one of the above instructions is to encourage civil aviation enterprises to invest in aerospace technology, and to open up a part of the cake in the aerospace field to private aerospace enterprises.

For the old aerospace companies, this knife can be regarded as cutting on their bodies.

After all, in the past, most of the domestic aerospace cakes were eaten by these old aerospace companies.

But to be honest, even with a single cut, those old aerospace companies can eat no less cake than before, and more than before.

After all, the total amount of cake in the past was so large, even if you ate it all, it would be more than 10 billion.

Now, after the state has increased its investment in the aerospace field, even if the old aerospace enterprises have only eaten half of it, or even one-third, they have more funds than before.

However, as Xu Chuan said, it may be that they are used to monopoly, and when the state decided to encourage civil aviation enterprises to invest in aerospace technology, and open up a part of the cake in the aerospace field to private aerospace enterprises, these old aerospace companies still tried to unite to monopolize the cake in the aerospace field.

This thing is a bit unauthentic.

It is normal to eat cake and it is also allowed.

But if you eat all or eat most of it, what about the task of developing civil aviation enterprises and leading civil aviation enterprises to invest?

And more importantly, aside from civil aviation, there is also the existence of that opponent in this competition, as well as the miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology and electric propulsion technology that are extremely optimistic about above.

Needless to say, the miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion reactor is a strategic treasure in any country, and the core of the top priority.

Electric propulsion technology is also very important for the change and development of aerospace, national defense and other fields.

In particular, the above-proposed aerospace fighter and space carrier programs are themselves based on miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion reactor technology.

If it is combined with power-on propulsion technology, the strategic deterrent formed is even more worthy of investment

In the office, Wu Yuankang was sitting on the sofa, and after hearing the old man's whisper, he nodded in agreement and said:

"Supporting the entry and development of civil aviation enterprises has long been the keynote, and we also need to encourage the emergence of private commercial aerospace companies such as SpaceX, Orbital Science, and Blue Origin in China."

"The approach of the old aerospace group is indeed a little inappropriate."

Behind the desk, the old man smiled and said, "Regarding the development of the aerospace field, you are more familiar with it than me, and the relevant task assignment can be done by you over there." ”

After a pause, the old man looked up at Wu Yuankang, and said with some seriousness: "However, it should be noted that we are now participating in the competition and development in the aerospace field, which is the current task and tone. What happened during the controlled fusion project, don't appear in the space field anymore, you must do a good job in this area. ”

Hearing this, Wu Yuankang's body was suddenly shocked, and he quickly replied: "Yes, I know." ”

The old man nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

Wu Yuankang stood up, answered the call, and walked out steadily.

After walking out of the office, he glanced back at the door he had brought with him, took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the outside of the building.

As for the meaning of the old man's words, what appeared in the controllable nuclear fusion project, he naturally knew what it was.

At the beginning, Luyang Science Island, as a representative of the domestic controllable nuclear fusion field, and the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project led by Academician Xu broke up unhappily.

In the end, although Academician Chen Mingji took the initiative to take a step back, there was no doubt that it attracted the attention of the top and some dissatisfaction.

Now in the aerospace field, if this kind of thing happens again, it will be his incompetent leadership.

PS: I went to the hospital today for a check-up, tossed for a day, and rushed out a chapter after coming back in the evening, asking for a monthly pass.

The preliminary diagnosis was that there was a cyst mass the size of a walnut (3 cm x 3 cm) on the spine, which was already inflamed and needed to be treated to eliminate inflammation and surgically removed. (I thought it was a lipoma at first, but I didn't expect it to be)

The doctor meant that the surgery might be more troublesome because the cyst is located on the spine and there are many nerves.

Fortunately, it's not a malignant tumor or something, and it's a blessing in misfortune.
