Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 114

[One hundred and fourteen.]

No matter how intense the controversy, the discussion among players about the change of historical scene caused by “Rise” has gradually subsided.

No matter how players question it, they cannot deny that this scene change in “Rise” is not impossible in internal logic.

Indeed, as the official Digital Totem said in a very brief announcement on the game’s homepage, in fact, none of us can know how history will be changed, and “Rise” is just a choice among countless possibilities. Just one of them.

What happened in “The Rise” hardly stayed in Lu Zhenyu’s field of vision for a day.

From the next day, as if nothing had happened, he read documents in the company in the morning, and went to the factory in the afternoon to continue to try new experimental methods.

In Lu Zhenyu’s idea, the bipedal stepping device does not represent the current mainstream of robotics, or the highest peak.

Just because the appearance of the biped system is closer to the real human shape, it is considered by many to be the best and the most advanced.

Sometimes, there are so many people who have an inexplicable affection for a two-legged machine that is more like a human.

Now Lu Zhenyu has encountered such a problem.

A few days ago, at the auto show that opened in Detroit, Toyota unveiled a bipedal, single-person vehicle.

Although it is also a bipedal stepping mechanism, after Lu Zhenyu carefully looked at the photos taken by the staff in the United States, from this thing named ostrich, he did not see the humanoid body of the Self-Defense Force that was accidentally discovered before. What is the blood relationship between.

The two are completely different in how the mechanical power is controlled.

The humanoid body of the Self-Defense Force still seems to pay great attention to the issue of combat reliability. The joints are made very thick, and the joints are driven by composite hydraulic power.

The ostrich released by Toyota this time is not.

The ostrich looks really, really like an ostrich, with a round glass cockpit that houses a seat and a steering wheel.

The Ostrich is not designed to be used off-road, it is only considered for movement on the plane of the road, and there is no need to install a single-lever joystick like a spider.

Under the cockpit of the glass ball is the driving device of the ostrich.

The power of the ostrich is also a motor. Since the power required by the stepping mechanism itself is not very large, this small motor with only 2 horsepower is enough to cope with it.

What’s more peculiar is the way the ostrich sends its power to its two legs.

The electric motor sends power to a rather complex differential control mechanism, which uses several wires to move the legs.

The two legs that were made into slender columns are all fine metal wires…

Lu Zhenyu has to admit that this mechanism is very ingenious. In terms of power utilization, it is much higher than the spider system. The ostrich can actually run on the road at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour.

And the lightweight shape seems to be more suitable for home use, and it does not take up space for storage.

However, this thing launched by Toyota as a concept car is estimated to really only stay on the concept.

After repeated speculation, Lu Zhenyu still felt that the ostrich’s method can be learned from, but the ostrich itself is unlikely to be put into production in the short term.

Because the reliability of the ostrich is too poor, and the mechanical power method used by the ostrich does not have the potential to be large-scale.

The metal wire is used for transmission. The metal wire itself is a very fragile thing, and frequent mechanical movements make this fragile material prone to wear and fatigue.

It’s fine to demonstrate the possibilities of a technology in the short term, but once it’s in production, Toyota will have to figure out how to deal with frequent repairs and endless complaints.

With Ostrich, the probability of users using medical insurance is estimated to be much higher than the probability of using third-party liability insurance, Lu Zhenyu can’t help but think maliciously.

However,

the release of the Japanese still caused a huge sensation, first of all in the media.

Combined with the spider walker, many media have expressed their views under the title “The Stepping Era of Transportation?”

However, it is an indisputable fact that the stepping method does save energy than the wheel drive.

Another sensation was that the research center of the digital totem bombed the camp. Everyone asked for their orders and demanded that a bipedal system with production value be launched as soon as possible. Many people even said that with the robotic arms, we can directly become “humans”.

These technicians made bizarre proposals one after another, but they didn’t let Lu Zhenyu live in peace for the past few days.

At least, the technicians all know that the Japanese ostrich is not so advanced and complicated, at best it is just a clever idea and a more delicate and reasonable design.

People who don’t understand technology express their opinions one after another, saying that Japan’s technology in stepping systems has surpassed China’s, leaving digital totems behind, etc. The basis for their judgment of advanced level is the number of legs … These people who don’t know much about technology even include General Bai Qiang.

General Bai Qiangqi obviously hadn’t studied with his adjutant. After reading some newspapers, he anxiously called Lu Zhenyu.

It was Lu Zhenyu who spent a lot of time explaining the technical differences and the limitations of the application, and then Bai Qiangqiang calmed down and hung up the phone.

To be honest, in this way, Lu Zhenyu really felt a little aggrieved.

What the hell did the Japanese come up with?

It’s just a more sophisticated wire-controlled machine. At best, it can solve the center of gravity management better, and it has its own characteristics in power. Why does it arouse so many people’s doubts about digital totems?

Is that ostrich that can’t climb mountains so scary?

Lu Zhenyu thought for a while, since you dwarfs want to play, I will play with you, and let you see what a real two-legged stepping vehicle is.

Among the senior engineers of Lu Zhenyu and Digital Totem, it is not that there is no bipedal design idea, but the direction of application is different, and the technical implementation method is also different.

Their bipedal scheme, dubbed “Electromagnetic Joint Jumping Function Verifier in Complex Terrain Environment”.

The scheme was dubbed “The Flea” because of the quirky look in the design.

It’s just that because everyone is still busy producing the Spider Pioneer series recently and carrying out further development, this “flea” project has not been started.

Lv Zhenyu immediately summoned the core technical team for a meeting to discuss the schedule for launching the “Flea” project.

As for funds, the first batch of orders for the United States, Pakistan, and the domestic military have all been delivered, and the company has money on its account.

Moreover, the second batch of procurement plans are being discussed with the United States. The civilian model is about to be launched, and the share from online games and the Dandelion system is also considerable… Lu Zhenyu knows that the company’s finances are still relatively stable. Besides, this flea doesn’t cost much.

The difficulty of the flea system is not mechanical, or power.

The flea system will use full electromagnetic joints, and the proportions of the legs are more exaggerated than Toyota’s ostriches.

If the design requirements are met, the flea system will be able to jump to a height of nearly 30 meters with an instant force bounce.

In this case, the problem for the technicians to solve is how to safely land the fleas.

Otherwise, any driver who stays inside will only be turned into an idiot.

Things like flaps and speedbrakes on an aircraft can be loaded on the side of the cockpit… Hydraulic shock absorption on the legs… Relying on the mechanical structure of the two feet to control the attitude before landing… The momentary reversal of the electromagnetic joints Drive… A solution is listed.

First of all, let’s do a small-scale model to verify it. Anyway, the whole project is not too difficult. It is estimated that it will take about a month, or at most two and a half months, to have results.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhenyu was quite satisfied.

However, when he excitedly entered the laboratory of variable optical camouflage, it was another story.

It is estimated that it is impossible to obtain advanced processing technology from that mysterious organization in a short period of time.

There were news from both the United States and the United Kingdom that the place in the United States was empty, the actions taken in the United Kingdom were seen through, and the four special forces soldiers who carried out the assault and infiltration were all killed.

Moreover, even the opponent’s periphery did not break through.

Lu Zhenyu wasn’t very worried about breaking through that base. After all, he was just trying, and there were still many methods that were not used—more extreme and bloodier ones, and at the same time, even more costly.

However, is it impossible to successfully crack this technology with its own strength?

Why is this kind of thing so difficult?

The two-layer glass and plastic brackets, although barely usable, are a bit ugly.

“Hey? What’s this?” Lu Zhenyu pointed to something that the laboratory director was playing with. It looked like, no, it was a cell phone. The problem was that the cell phone was moving with the laboratory director’s finger. Constantly changing color.

…Isn’t this a variable optical camouflage system?

“Old Song, is this a cell phone?” Lu Zhenyu looked closer.

“Mr. Lu, it’s fun, we use two layers of glass now, and the uniform color shell we can make is just that big anyway, so I made a mobile phone shell, connected the battery, and slightly modified the program inside. The color changes as needed. Not bad, you can change the colors as you like, it’s a very attractive selling point.” Lao Song boasted.

Lu Zhenyu looked at Lao Song like an idiot, and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

This variable optical camouflage technology has not been used by the military yet, so it is put on civilian products?

How many issues are involved in this.

“It’s unlikely,” Lu Zhenyu always knew that as a pure technician, this old Song was very naive.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his naivety that Lao Song’s ingenious ideas in research are always surprising.

Also, because of this kind of naivety, Lao Song is almost 40 now. He is still a little like a child. He loves to play and is good at play. Although it seems that personal life events depend on “organizational arrangements”, he is indeed a very interesting person. .

How to do?

It seems that it is not very good to discourage Lao Song’s enthusiasm.

Lu Zhenyu pondered for a long time, and said a sentence that he had never thought of himself: “We don’t have a license to produce mobile phones.”

Lao Song nodded as if suddenly realized, and said, “There is no way.” He took out two boxes from his closet and said, “Mr. Lu, this cell phone made for you and Mr. Chen has no license. We can make a few for ourselves.”

Lu Zhenyu laughed and put the cell phone in. pocket.

After a few laps in the lab, except for one group that was installing the slightly bulky variable optical camouflage set on a shadow spider, the other groups were still working hard.

The material problem has been solved, but the key problem is still the craftsmanship.

From traditional to modern, they have used all methods, and even tried manual polishing, but they still don’t know how the mysterious organization came out with such high-precision things.

mold?

That factory in the UK is a mold maker, is it just to hide the fact that their ultra-high-precision molds are made?

However, how do you make the mold so that it can produce something with such incredible precision?

Lu Zhenyu’s interest grew stronger and stronger.

He himself wanted to try it out, break into that factory, if there really was the technology they urgently needed, even if he took a look at the structure and design of those devices, and looked at the names and settings of those control buttons, maybe all If you can let your own thinking open, maybe the problem will be solved like this.

with this thought.

Confused, Lu Zhenyu lay on the sofa, modeled a mobile phone from his pocket, and threw it to Chen Ning.

“Old Song made it for us to play, then.”

“What?” Chen Ning took the phone in his hand and looked at it repeatedly.

“A mobile phone with a variable optical camouflage system…” Lu Zhenyu said bitterly.

Chen Ning played with the phone curiously.

The phone is foldable and has a Leica-made camera for mobile phones, which is small, but has 2 megapixels.

For the completeness of the look, though, there doesn’t appear to be a selfie mirror.

Flip open the phone, turn on the switch, and the phone suddenly shows a different kind of brilliance.

Behind the two layers of glass of the casing is actually an OLED font display, and the first interface to open the phone is the initial setting of the casing color.

Chen Ning played with curiosity for a while, and said, “This thing is too cool. If we produce it, it is estimated that the sales will be very good.”

“Stop kidding, what is the cost of this thing?”

“Cost? Hey, People who really buy this kind of thing care about your high price?” Chen Ning said with a smile.

She is such a fashionable woman, she is naturally excited to have a mobile phone that can be matched with her clothes at any time.

“Okay, then I’ll use the reason I just put up with Lao Song to put you off. We don’t have a mobile phone production license. … Miss Ning Ning, you can use it yourself, don’t make trouble.”
