Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 143

[One hundred and forty two.]

142 The arms race

However, no matter how the civilian products are developed, the huge profits are still incomparable to the orders from various ** teams.

Because the second-generation vehicle data link played an extremely important role in the India-Pakistan war, the military quickly sent people to contact the digital totem to discuss the issue of expanding the use of the vehicle data link.

The operation mechanism of the data link itself is relatively complex, and it is necessary to have a more specific understanding of the equipment to expand the scope of use.

The military is willing to come up with those specific parameters, but the manufacturers of tanks and armored vehicles do not seem to be happy.

The final solution is to design and manufacture a transmitter and receiver of the data link, coordinate the positions between vehicles and give each other suggestions, and do not involve problems such as specific equipment operations.

Anyway, there is probably no 6 army equipment running on the ground that will face a more complicated situation than the spider platform.

Enough is the first principle.

At the same time, Digital Totem has launched another improvement measure, that is, using the laser holographic terrain system, data link system and intelligent decision-making system to improve and upgrade the spider platforms that have been delivered in the past.

As for the cost, it will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

This improvement can bring the original spider a1ker, spider pioneer, etc., to the level of spider lurker in all combat capabilities except mechanical power.

However, the railgun mount system is still only equipped on Spider Lurkers.

Most of the people who negotiate this improvement business with Digital Totem are some countries that have good relations with China, or.

The spider platform series products have been listed very early, such as Switzerland, Canada and Pakistan.

A series of measures have been launched, and a series of equipment is being developed in the research center of digital totem, which is enough to show the ability and determination of digital totem in the field of armament, and also raise enough funds to pay for the further research exhibition of digital totem.

Perhaps, it is because of seeing the flexibility and powerful combat effectiveness of the step-by-step 6-ground combat equipment represented by spiders in actual combat.

countries, especially those that are relatively advanced in science and technology.

Researches in this area have been started.

After the United States and Japan obtained the manufacturing technology and artificial intelligence technology of counterfeit spiders, they started different exhibition routes according to their respective technical characteristics.

In the United States, it seems to pay more attention to the heavy-duty and multi-functionalization of spider platforms.

It has to be admitted that the research in this area in the United States is fruitful.

Because they are already at the forefront of the world in terms of power and computer technology.

Moreover, the research on mechanical power is also profound.

The large-scale problem of spiders soon had a breakthrough.

For the first time they made a weight that was over a ton.

The spider platform, which has a carrying capacity of over a ton, has to be shortened because the spider’s leg length is limited by its weight.

The advent of Tianniu marks that the step-by-step combat platform has entered a new stage. Tianniu can be installed with 5mm tank guns, and the firepower is very powerful.

On the basis of the chassis of Tianniu, this heavy firepower platform can be fully supported in the mountains.

and supplies.

However, the Tianniu platform has a fatal problem, that is power.

Since the electric motor can no longer support such a large weight, the consumption of electric energy is too fast. The

Americans adopted the gas turbine on the Tianniu platform, which is similar to the ground power they used on the tank.

noise and fuel consumption.

became a big problem.

Japan, on the other hand, is strengthening the improvement of spiders in terms of mechanical power, and strives to make this counterfeit spider reach or even surpass the spider of the original digital totem.

The electromagnetic joint technology in Lv Zhenyu’s place was born out of Japan’s omnidirectional electromagnetic joint technology. Japan naturally has a solid foundation in this regard.

Electric and mechanical hybrid, all-electric prototypes have been built and put into testing.

In the manufacture of weapons, Japan has always only considered performance and did not care much about cost. I am afraid that spiders with all-electric joints will be their first choice.

If all the new technologies and new materials are used, perhaps, the spiders from Japan will reach the level of the original spider in the digital totem.

even.

In some aspects, such as extreme jumping ability and battery life, it is more than the product of the digital totem.

but.

Correspondingly, the cost is also much higher.

Maybe Digital Totem will price its own spider platform products from hundreds of thousands of dollars for spider a1ker to millions of dollars for spider lurker, of which the profit is generally around the average, then, if Japan price its products in this range, Profits may be less than %.

What is more striking is that Japan has put some other stepping products into practical use.

For example, the ostrich, which they had previously announced at the auto show, began to be sold to the public after some improvements.

The ostrich announced this time uses two small motors and 4 electromagnetic joints. A full battery can run continuously for 6 hours, and the highest can reach kilometers per hour.

Although because of its small size and only two legs, the stability is not very high, and the off-road capability is very limited. However, I have to admit that the ostrich is already a very interesting one-person vehicle.

More importantly, compared to the entry-level version of the spider platform, the single-person spider te is priced at $24,000, and the price of the ostrich is only US dollars.

Another kind of stepping equipment is the 2-legged manned humanoid robot similar to Gundam that attracted Lu Zhenyu’s attention at the beginning.

Since Japan has always been very traditional in the shape design and function setting of humanoid robots, although it may only be a tradition in animation, the appearance of the humanoid body “Wolf Maru”, which was put into use for the first time this time, is quite beautiful.

Moreover, it is also much smaller than the body that Lu Zhenyu saw in the photo before.

The height of Langwan is about 4.5 meters, which is exactly the design standard of height limit for most road traffic.

The proportions of 2 hands and 2 feet are designed with reference to real humans, but there is no doubt that they are much thicker.

Due to the weight of the body, the joints are mixed with 3-connected electromagnetic joints and double-connected mechanical joints, which are tough and flexible.

The basic movements of the body, such as running, are all controlled by the computer.

But when it comes to complex maneuvers, it is still completely controlled by the occupants.

If a driver is very familiar with the body, he will be able to wield a very high level of combat.

Measured in terms of size and characteristics, and after referring to the settings in a considerable number of Japanese cartoons, even Lu Zhenyu had to admit that Lang Wan is the best combat platform at present.

Those originally thought to be fanciful cartoon settings, from Battlestar all the way to Full Metal Frenzy.

There are many detailed designs in it that can be found on the wolf pill.

And the cannon in the head directly guides people’s imagination to Gundam…

why bother?

Everyone understood each other.

Artificial intelligence can be used in countless fields, helping or even replacing human jobs.

Although the large-scale adoption of artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence-based machinery will cause many economic and social problems, militarization is definitely not the best way out for artificial intelligence.

“It’s different.” Qingqing reminded Lu Zhenyu softly when everyone was discussing, “You treat us as human beings. However, your employees don’t know us. The intelligent core is still an element in their product design, and they The designed products are still just tools.”

Lu Zhenyu nodded.

Yue Yu went on to say: “In other countries, in the eyes of other researchers, this is probably even more so. After all, you still have software such as Baby in your hand, which is already very human-like, but other people’s software Technology. I’m afraid it won’t make people have better associations.

“Yeah, this is really a big problem.

“Lu Zhenyu looked at the ceiling and said.

“What’s the problem?”

Without the permission of you, the king of artificial intelligence, everyone has started an arms race?

“Chen Ning huddled up on the sand, put on a very comfortable posture, and joked.

“If artificial intelligence has reached the level of a human being.

It’d be nice if they could really take it into consideration.

However, I’m afraid not.

We humans have always placed our status too high.

Even if artificial intelligence reaches the level of human intelligence, or even beyond, I am afraid that this creator’s mentality and God-like mentality will make some people go further.

Crazy, crazy people will always be there.

”

So, what method can be used to make human beings revere what is happening in the digital field? War is obviously not good. The digital totem sacrificed almost all of its magic weapons to help Pakistan win, but it has resulted in a larger-scale arms race and More crazy military investment.

Lu Zhenyu was a little scared. Did he add some kind of process? Any field. There are both good and bad sides. I watched Star Wars since I was a child. The impression is deepened. If the artificial intelligence mastered by myself is good, then, do those crazy people have the evil side? However, I have invested a lot in armament research. What is this? ?

If one day, artificial intelligence really starts to seize the living space of human beings, it seems that now, I will undoubtedly bear some of the responsibility.

So, before this terrifying future life, should I do something to turn the track around?

Wouldn’t it be great if there could be a world where humans and robots live in harmony, and of course, humans still dominate?

Of course, the so-called emotional issues between humans and robots will be another serious challenge at that time, but it is far better than a war between humans and robots.

“I want to try something.” Lu Zhenyu suddenly faced the two cameras that Yue Yu used as his eyes, and said, “Look, I have achieved preliminary results in the theory of pseudo-neuron. If Say, you, or your appearance is an accident, this accident forced me to create the theory of chaotic collision, then, now I really feel the interesting side and the subtle side of quasi-neuron theory. This is really a Orthodox, but a very attractive field. I thought, what if I pushed the development of quasi-neuron theory a little further? quasi-neuron networks are in principle the closest thing to learning in animals and humans The theory of thinking mode. If, in front of everyone, from the step-by-step development of the pseudo-neuron theory, I walked along the path of biological evolution in the past little by little, until I pushed the pseudo-neuron theory to a level that can be combined with What would it be like if

the wisdom of human beings are on a par with each other?”

“Then you’re probably even crazier than the madmen you said…” Yue Yu said with a smile.

“Do you think that would make people fear this life in the digital realm?” Chen Ning pondered for a while, raised his head, and looked at Lu Zhenyu seriously.

“Impossible. However, that will make some people face up to a certain existence.” Lu Zhenyu said.

“If language ability means the difference between humans and animals, or the ability to create tools that represent the difference between humans and animals, what about the bad debt between humans and computers? If, bit by bit, we let people see this The boundary is being crossed, so what will happen?… I know, you must think I am hypocritical, obviously now whether it is Xiaoyu, Qingqing or Bodhidharma, all can do this, but I have to do it again myself , I’m afraid I don’t know how much time it will take, but it’s much more shocking to let people see this whole step bit by bit. I want people to see clearly that digital life is a How was it created?”

Lu Zhenyu started to get a little excited again, after a long time, he didn’t have the kind of pride in his chest, and he didn’t have such emotional words.

Lu Zhenyu felt that this was a method.

Of course, after we set a goal and evaluate all the resources we currently have, we can find perhaps more than one path to the goal.

Maybe our so-called successful people just always choose the shortest but relatively short road between the status quo and the goal. After the same period of life and running, their mileage is naturally more dazzling.

The same is true for Lu Zhenyu. This time, he may have chosen a very distant and difficult path.

Curves, detours, he’s not afraid of anything.

He never let anyone know his true purpose.

Perhaps, at the moment when his goal was achieved, he was so old that he could only walk a short distance with the help of Yue Yu, and he might not even see that day, but, for a free Yue Yu, and Qingqing and Bodhidharma will inevitably follow.

He wants to make all this happen…

“You have to help me…” Lu Zhenyu murmured, his eyes were already looking out the window, and the light of the city illuminated the turbid night sky.

he murmured.

“Cut… this needless to say, when did we stop helping you?” This time, the three women in the office were surprisingly unanimous.
