Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 517 New Order Plan

In fact, everyone present knew this very well.

Leo understood that Colonel Vanel was embarrassing him, but he had no choice but to cooperate.

Colonel Vanel sneered and said, "Then we can only consider the next option, which is to let China confront these self-aware robots."

Someone raised the question: "To recapture the Union spacecraft? Will they agree? They don't have any way to deal with robots, and I'm afraid the cost will be very high."

Facing the lack of confidence, Colonel Vanel responded with a straight face: "We must ensure that this space trip will not waste hundreds of millions of dollars and gain nothing."

After hearing this, everyone looked at him sideways: "Is this really possible? Why would Huaxia care about our affairs?"

Colonel Vanel said firmly: "It's not a question of whether it can be done or not, but it can only be done by China."

He knew very well that even their own country could bring pressure to other countries, not to mention that now there are multiple countries joining together, which would surely bring even greater pressure to China.

Colonel Vanel asked everyone again: "Think about it, if the public knew that our astronauts were not only attacked by robots, but also stayed in the sky for three months, how would they feel?"

Everyone was speechless because they knew that this result was not what they wanted.

At this time, in the Nancheng Aerospace Military Base of Huaxia Country, Lin Chen saw Commander Chen walking towards him with a worried look on his face, and he knew it was about space matters.

Originally, Lin Chen should have left the base and lived his own life, but because of the problem with the US Union robot, he had to work overtime.

They have been discussing the matter in a separate meeting room.

Commander Chen said: "I have received instructions from my superiors. The United States and several other countries hope that China can help their astronauts recapture the spacecraft in space."

Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What a joke."

Commander Chen went on to say, "The country has not agreed, but we have to make follow-up plans. Now that their astronauts are on our spacecraft, they will inevitably consume our supplies, which will have a great impact on our space mission."

Lin Chen responded seriously: "Don't worry, according to the information I have, the final result will be revealed today or tomorrow, and our original mission will not be affected."

Commander Chen looked confused, and had no idea what Lin Chen was up to. He urged anxiously, "Stop beating around the bush, tell me what you found and what you plan to do next!"

Lin Chen took him to the work area of ​​the space center, where all the staff gathered. They were staring at the screen, monitoring every move in space.

Lin Chen pointed to one of the images and said to Commander Chen, "Look at this. Don't rush to say it's useless. Although these robots are very arrogant now and want to cause trouble for our spaceship, we have countermeasures."

In the picture, the out-of-control robot on the United was adjusting its course, obviously heading towards the direction of the Chinese spacecraft.

Commander Chen frowned and said pessimistically: "What's the point of looking at these robots? At most we can fight them to a draw, and then we still won't have enough resources."

Lin Chen took a deep breath and said confidently: "We can defeat them with wisdom, and the cost is low and the gains are great. Not only can we help astronauts from other countries return to their spacecraft, but we can also take this opportunity to win more reputation for China."

Commander Chen knew that all this had to be based on being able to deal with the mutant robots. But they had no relevant experience and were still a little unsure.

Lin Chen saw his doubts and knew that it was useless to just talk, and these engineers believed in experimental data more. He understood this, and if he hadn't been familiar with spacecraft and robots, he would have paid more attention to the data.

"Let's stop arguing and report the plan quickly!" Lin Chen said.

Commander Chen nodded, knowing that the higher-ups were waiting for their proposal. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to prepare the materials for the report, while Lin Chen began to sort out the part he was responsible for.

China directly rejected the US’s request.

The American personnel were quite calm. They knew that this was an unreasonable request, but they had time to put pressure on China and force China to step in to solve the problem of the United Ship, even though China had no obligation to do so.

Their first step was to disclose that the Union robot had developed independent thinking and attacked the astronauts, forcing them to flee to the Chinese spacecraft.

Now, people from many countries who participated in the research, development and manufacturing of the Unity spacecraft realized that there was a danger in space and joined the discussion.

"This is the first step to make China pay the price," Vanel told the meeting. "Next we will use public opinion as a missile. Whether China comes forward to solve the robot problem or not, it will be blamed."

The China Space Center has monitored the movements of the United Robots, but they have not actually been dispatched, as if the previous predictions had gone wrong.

Lin Chen knew that this was only because robots still had a gap with humans in decision-making.

"Then I have to add fuel to the fire and let the two sides meet sooner."

Lin Chen opened the system again and asked, "Is the program I requested last time ready?"

"Master, it's done. I'll make sure those robots with thoughts obey you."

This system can be linked to the US Space Robotics Research and Development Center and further establish contact with the other party's robots. Although the United States can no longer use this system to command robots, Lin Chen can.

"Let them set off quickly and come to the Chinese spaceship!"

After the command was issued, the United space robot adjusted its movements and drove the spacecraft along a specific direction towards the Chinese spacecraft.

Lin Chen connected with the astronauts in the cabin and said: "The battle between robots is about to begin. Don't forget that I will broadcast it live. You also have to pay attention to your image."

The Chinese astronauts responded with a smile: "Yes, Professor Lin!"

American astronauts Oliver and Jack had no idea what new arrangements China had made. They were just extremely nervous when they saw those scary robots driving the spacecraft towards them.

Oliver asked, "I'm so curious, what's your plan? You know, the guys on the other side are very powerful, and it would be terrible if they accidentally hit us with a spaceship."

They noticed that the Chinese side had no plans to launch the spacecraft to leave the existing route, so they had to find out the truth.

The astronaut smiled and said: "Let me show you the technology of China!"

After saying that, he clicked OK on the control interface, and several Chinese space robots directly left the cabin and flew towards the United spacecraft.

When Oliver was still worried that the United Spaceship would collide with the Chinese spacecraft, the United Spaceship suddenly stopped and the robot slowly walked out of the cabin. At this moment, the space robots of the two countries appeared in the same frame for the first time.

Vanel had already learned that the United Robot was actively looking for the Chinese spacecraft. At this moment, he was staring at the live broadcast, feeling uncertain. He didn't know what the outcome would be, but he had a premonition that the public opinion war might not develop in the direction he expected.

In Huaxia, everyone in the control center of the South City Aerospace Military Base was staring intently at the two robots. One of them whispered to the person next to him: "The robots are about to clash, but they are not fighting machines. I really don't know how they will fight."

"I don't know if you ask me. Professor Lin has been keeping this matter a secret. It's all new to everyone, so we can only wait and see," another person responded.

When mentioning Lin Chen, the man said, "To be honest, Professor Lin is indeed very capable, but can he really be trusted in this matter?"

The person being asked glanced at Lin Chen quickly, fearing that he would hear his words and implicate him, and responded unhappily: "Watch it carefully, this is a national event, do you think it's a child's play?"

On the screen, the two robots are slowly approaching each other. Walking in space is also a challenge for robots, and they move very slowly, and are finally about to meet.

The Chinese robot suddenly extended an independent robotic arm, which quickly fired a rope towards the United space robot, tightly wrapping it around.

"Why haven't we learned this function before? Has the robot always had this ability?" The staff at the space center began to whisper, and the bold one walked directly to Lin Chen and asked.

"Professor Lin, I remember that you didn't mention this function in your previous lectures or in our manuals."

Lin Chen smiled and replied: "Then I should have also said that robots can upgrade their systems."

"Ah? Upgrading robots in space?" the man blurted out, and then regretted it, but the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back.

As engineers here, they all have a high level of professionalism. There is nothing wrong with asking such questions in theory, but it always feels a little inappropriate to ask it in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen ignored him, and the change in his expression explained everything again: "This is set up in advance. When necessary, the system will be upgraded and it can be used directly."

"So that's how it is! Professor Lin, I'm beginning to doubt whether you have the ability to predict the future."

People's attention was once again drawn to the situation on the screen. At this time, the distance between Huaxia's robot and its opponent was less than one meter.

Another mechanical arm stretched out, pointing directly at the opponent's core. It was not sure how much force was used, but it could be seen that the robot with independent thinking had stopped struggling and had completely become a pile of scrap metal.

Not all the shackled robots have this fate, as some of them are trying to break free.

After this initial phase of surprise, the battle between the two sides was no longer one-sided.

When Commander Chen saw this, he quickly grabbed Lin Chen's arm and said, "Professor Lin, we lost the first round, right?"

"You said this is the first round." Lin Chen replied calmly.

Commander Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and became more calm: "That's right."

At the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Vanel stared at the movements of the Chinese robot on the big screen and said to the people around him: "We were just surprised that China had developed a space robot before, but now we are shocked. Their robots seem to be smarter than ours."

The people around him responded: "This is also a dangerous signal. Since they are so intelligent, will their robots also get out of control? If we let it continue, it will be very dangerous."

Vanel shared his concerns and immediately stood up and said, "Report any new developments to me in a timely manner."

Then he walked towards his office. He needed to communicate with his superiors again and make sure to understand China's alternative plans. The most important thing was that he had to try to get the top management to urge the Chinese spacecraft to withdraw to Earth.

In China, Liu Dingcang came to the aerospace base and sent someone to pick up Lin Chen for a talk.

As soon as Lin Chen arrived, Liu Dingcang smiled and said, "Boss Lin, the things we discussed last time have developed as we envisioned."

"That's right." Lin Chen and Liu Dingcang had previously discussed matters related to U.S. aerospace. He sat down and prepared to listen carefully.

Liu Dingcang said, "Vanel's proposal to withdraw our spacecraft is a good plan. It can not only avoid the embarrassment of our robots defeating their robots, but also slow down our scientific research progress."

Lin Chen also laughed: "I can't wait to see his expression when his plan fails!"

After Lin Chen and Liu Dingcang briefly discussed Vanel's affairs, they quickly got to the point, which was also the main purpose of Liu Dingcang's visit.

Liu Dingcang said with a smile: "I came here mainly to talk to you about the new order plan."

"New order plan? What specifically is it about?" Lin Chen asked.

"Of course it's about space robots." Liu Dingcang replied.

Hearing this, Lin Chen leaned back slightly in his chair, and after a slight hesitation, he said, "Go on."

Although Lin Chen already had some guesses in his mind, guesses were just guesses after all. If he wanted to know the specific details, he had to wait for Liu Dingcang to say it himself.

Liu Dingcang continued: "Through this launch of the space robots, we have seen the advantages of these robots, so we plan to order another batch of robots."

The number of space robots is directly related to the tasks they need to perform. If the number of space missions is limited, there is naturally not a need for too many robots.

They had already launched three space robots. Lin Chen originally thought that the order would not exceed three, so he asked, "No problem, how many do you need this time?"

Liu Dingcang replied: "Ten."

When Lin Chen heard this number, he immediately thought that these ten robots might not all be for self-use. It is very likely that other countries have already learned about China's space robots and have begun to purchase them.

This situation is not impossible, especially when multiple countries cooperate in space experiment projects, which are more likely to involve such matters.

Lin Chen didn't ask any more questions. It was just ten robots. For him, it would take some time to complete it.

"No problem, but I have a request this time." Lin Chen said.

Seeing that Lin Chen agreed readily, Liu Dingcang admired him even more.

"You say." Liu Dingcang said calmly. He believed that as long as Lin Chen could create more space robots, they would try their best to meet any request or proposal.

The important thing is that he knew that Lin Chen would not make excessive demands, and usually, their requests could be met.

So he behaved calmly, waiting for Lin Chen to make his request.

Lin Chen said calmly: "This time, I will no longer follow the last contract method in terms of funds."
