The future development direction of the group was a rather broad proposition.
In order to combat the threat from 20.5 light-years away, the focus of Future Group's future development must be the universe. Even if Earth civilization was destined to use "bows and spears" to fight against the "foreign guns" of extraterrestrial visitors, he must sharpen the bow and the spear.
As for the threat from within humanity …
Perhaps it would be better to release some news at the right time?
He just didn't know if it would have the opposite effect …
Just as Jiang Chen was about to fall asleep, Jean's holographic image appeared next to Jiang Chen's hand and woke him up with a calm tone.
"Mr. President, Dr. Amos wants to see you."
Jiang Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up from the chair, and yawned.
"Amos? What's the matter? "
"According to him, there seems to be a breakthrough in mental bridging technology —"
Jiang Chen suddenly stood up from the chair.
"Mental bridging technology? Is it the technology that connects the circuit board through brainwaves and transplants the soul to the machine? "
Perhaps Jean's understanding of the word soul wasn't deep enough. She used a second to analyze Jiang Chen's words and then gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes."
"Tell him to wait for me, I'll go now!"
After leaving this sentence, Jiang Chen left the office with a beaming face, walked straight to the elevator, and pressed the button for the first underground floor. As the first truly black technology independently developed in the modern world, he must personally witness its birth.
…
Amos was indeed a genius.
Even Lin Lin, who always had a sharp tongue, sincerely admitted this. She evaluated him as a genius who stood on the shoulders of giants but saw the scenery that giants couldn't see.
Based on the basis of neural access, through the enhancement of brainwave collection devices, it could be remotely connected to the robot's body. It was like soul possession, and he could move the hands and feet of the robot just like he moved his own hands.
At the moment, Jiang Chen was standing in Dr. Amos's laboratory, looking at himself sitting in a chair with a helmet on.
Not through a mirror, but through the robot's electronic eyes.
"How do you feel?"
Amos looked at "Jiang Chen" passionately, and Jiang Chen suddenly had goosebumps … if a robot had goosebumps.
"In general, not bad …"
Jiang Chen looked at his metal hands, moved his arms and fingers, and then moved his legs with interest.
It was almost the same as moving one's own body. Although it was still quite different from a human body, in terms of flexibility, this mechanical body was not much worse than a human's limbs. The only drawback was that he felt empty inside the robot's body, as if something was missing.
Oh, also, because there was no sense of touch, Jiang Chen found that the robot's control of power was poor.
For example, if you reach out to hold a cup, you won't be able to feel how much strength you're using. If you don't grasp it properly, you'll crush the cup. He thought that he was just going to jump lightly, but in a moment of carelessness, he hit the ceiling.
Later, under the guidance of Dr. Amos, Jiang Chen set the upper limit of the power output of each joint to avoid mistakes like this.
However, if every action required parameters to be set in advance, it would be very troublesome.
It seemed that the "pilot" of this mechanical substitute must go through a long period of training to be proficient in using this mechanical body.
Then, under the instructions of Dr. Amos, Jiang Chen completed a series of relatively complex movements such as running, weightlifting, boxing, and shooting in a large pile of experimental equipment.
Just as Dr. Amos happily collected experimental data, Jiang Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
For the application prospects of this mechanical substitute, his first thought was outer space construction!
There was no need for spacesuits on the ship. Directly through mental bridging technology, the robot could be remotely controlled into space to complete dangerous and complex work.
Although the cost of robots was many times higher than spacesuits, from the perspective of safety and work efficiency, the cost-performance ratio of using such robots in outer space was still quite high!
The relative speed of objects moving in the universe was unimaginably high.
Even if a sesame-sized meteorite fragment slashed the spacesuit at a relative speed of hundreds of Mach, the accident caused would be quite serious. However, because human space activities were not very frequent these days, this problem was not exposed.
The solution in the apocalypse was to increase the strength of the spacesuit. Ordinary meteorite fragments wouldn't cause much damage to the body. After all, the probability of encountering a meteorite fragment with a relative speed of hundreds of Mach was not much higher than winning the lottery. If they encountered one and got hit, they could only blame themselves for being stupid.
However, it was undeniable that using mental bridging technology to remotely connect robots controlled by the human brain to replace humans in outer space to perform dangerous work that was inconvenient for AI to complete was indeed a highly feasible option!
There was another problem, and that was the issue of supplies.
Before the completion of the space elevator, the cost of sending an astronaut to the sky was not small at all. A person in the sky had to eat, drink, and poop, and they couldn't live in a gravity-free environment for too long. They had to change shifts every three months. Therefore, the more people stayed in outer space, the greater the consumption of transportation resources for Celestial Trade.
Before the space elevator was built, these people relied on rockets and landing capsules to go back and forth!
Affected by this, the number of astronauts building space elevators in outer space was very limited. Although there was intelligent engineering equipment to assist, many tasks still couldn't be done without people, and the progress of the project had been very slow.
But if this thing could be used for construction in outer space, the situation would be completely different. These robots could stay in outer space as long as they wanted. They only needed to be equipped with a solar charger, and even the need for daily supplies could be eliminated.
Jiang Chen took off his helmet, looked at Amos, who was processing data, and immediately asked.
"How long is it to the finished product?"
"This one can be regarded as a finished product, although it is only a first-generation work." Amos picked up the robot, put it back on the fixed frame next to the laboratory, and then patted its head with a smile. "The continuous working time can be up to 24 hours. Although there are many flaws, it should be no problem."
"What is the cost of this machine?"
Speaking of the cost, Amos scratched his messy hair in embarrassment.
"Ahem, after all, it is a first-generation machine, and it is purely handmade … Well, without considering the research and development cost, it is about 5 million US Dollar."
Jiang Chen silently calculated the cost in his mind.
It was definitely not possible to throw the bare machine directly into space. In order to adapt to the specific working environment, it needed to be specially modified. Based on this calculation, a spiritual bridging robot that could be used in space should be able to be purchased for 10 to 20 million US Dollar.
This is a good idea!
After making up his mind, Jiang Chen immediately said.
"Design a machine that can be used in space … What is the name of this machine?"
"X-1 robot," Amos added.
"Mhmm, I hope you can design an X-A1 robot that can be used in space. Is there a way to do it?" Jiang Chen looked at Amos and said seriously.
"In theory, it's not difficult, but what about communication in space?" Amos asked.
When Jiang Chen heard this question, he suddenly laughed.
"Haha, my friend, you forgot, we have quantum satellites!"
Amos patted his head and suddenly realized.
"I almost forgot."
"How long has it been since you left the house? You should be able to go to an internet cafe. "Jiang Chen couldn't help but ridicule.
"It's been a while, hehe." Amos smiled embarrassedly, scratched the back of his head, and said shyly, "Go online … The information in the group's database is richer than the Frankberg National Library. There is no need to go online."
He was the type of person that once he touched the experimental equipment, he would completely fall into a state of oblivion.
But it was because of his dedicated research spirit that he finally saw "the scenery that giants can't see."
