Chapter 186 You Really Have No Choice
In the meeting room, the projector was turned on, and a young lieutenant colonel next to Mason introduced loudly: "As the largest and best deep-water port in the North Pacific Ocean, Pearl Harbor is the most ideal port for safe anchorage. Therefore, it has become the base of the US Navy and Shipbuilding base."

"...every year we receive overhaul and maintenance work for various large and medium-sized aircraft carriers. Considering the strict requirements of the military, we must conduct flaw detection inspections on the entire hull to eliminate hidden dangers and make targeted repairs."

"...Unfortunately, some of the work is carried out underwater, and some of the work is even carried out in a closed cabin. Whether it is special welding, or some repair operations, for people in that environment, They are all dangerous, and the quality of restoration is difficult to guarantee."

"...According to incomplete statistics, as many as a dozen people are killed or injured every year because of this kind of maintenance work. This picture shows the environmental parameters and risk index in deep underwater and sealed cabins."

Wu Tao watched and pondered, and at the same time secretly confirmed the feasibility with Wangcai.After the introduction by the young lieutenant colonel, Simon stared nervously at Wu Tao, for fear that he would shake his head and say it couldn't be done.

After a while, Wu Tao finally spoke: "Lieutenant General Mason, if I understand correctly, your main needs are focused on underwater flaw detection inspection, underwater repair, and in-cabin repair problems. The ultimate goal is to improve the efficiency of inspection and maintenance. , to reduce the casualty index, right?"

In fact, Wu Tao didn't say what he most wanted to say.The main purpose of the needs of Mason and others is to be lazy and save trouble.Artificial resources are extremely expensive in the US market.What's more, this kind of underwater and in-cabin operations may cause casualties, and the price will be even greater.

Mason glanced at the subordinates around him and said, "Wu, you are right, so do you have a solution?"

"Of course!" Wu Tao said proudly: "I have two solutions, one is the intelligent robot solution with waterproof, anti-pressure, anti-static interference, anti-electromagnetic shielding and other functions; joint motion control scheme."

Listening to Wu Tao's professional vocabulary, Simon immediately relaxed.

Mason immediately asked: "Then, which of these two solutions is more cost-effective?"

"The first solution is a dedicated service robot solution, which is a robot-based product. The second solution is a robot integration business solution, which belongs to the robot integration business. Therefore, the cost of the first solution is more expensive than the second solution There are many."

Unexpectedly, a colonel wearing glasses next to Mason immediately said: "Mr. Wu, if my guess is correct, the second robot integration solution requires a detailed investigation of our inspection and maintenance site, and then we can base it on specific requirements. Need, design an automated maintenance solution that integrates robots. Right?"

"Yes."

"But if this is the case, because of the level of secrecy at Pearl Harbor, it is simply not allowed to do so."

Wu Tao said indifferently: "Then you only have the first option."

The other party continued to question: "But as far as I know, there is no robot manufacturer in the world that can implement various protective measures such as waterproof, anti-pressure, anti-static interference, and anti-electromagnetic shielding on the robot body."

"Sorry, your news is backward and wrong. At least Tianyu Group can do it now." Wu Tao had systematically considered this problem two months ago, and had already invested in the multi-legged intelligent robot that collects bacterial samples. used.

"Is this impossible? I have studied it before, and it is too difficult to achieve these points. The requirements for materials, processes, and even electronic chips are quite high. And China's technological level, in my opinion, has always been It's at the level of a developing country..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Wu Tao interrupted coldly: "Not long ago, no one could realize the artificial intelligence platform, and Tianyu was the first to realize it. Not long ago, intelligent robots were still at the stage of being fancy but not useful. Tianyu's intelligent robot can not only accompany and monitor, but can even undertake dangerous tasks in dangerous environments."

"...So, Colonel, please don't use your outdated cognition to deny the Tianyu intelligent robot. Since I said yes, it must be possible. Because I don't need to lie to you, the helicopters and yachts I want, It’s just the means of transportation for the construction of Laysan Island, which can be bought through other channels. If it weren’t for the friendship of Lieutenant Colonel Simon, I really don’t need to make a fuss and sit here.”

Wu Tao's attitude was very tough, and he put some gold on Simon's face by the way.

Simon, however, was overwhelmed by Wu Tao's words.Looking at Wu Tao's eyes, he made no secret of his gratitude.

However, Mason is exactly like this. In his opinion, Wu Tao must have mastered the corresponding technology, so he dared to be so arrogant.Otherwise, wouldn't that be courting death? Tired and crooked?

"Okay, Wu, let's talk about your price, OK?"

Wu Tao said with a smile: "I have to see what kind of model you can provide me and how good it is before I can make a decision."

Mason winked at the young lieutenant colonel, and the other party reopened a new picture.All kinds of decommissioned helicopters were immediately displayed in front of them.

"HH-60J "Jayhawk"?"

Looking at the red and white fuselage, Wu Tao searched all over his memory, but could not find any information about this model of helicopter.Seeing this, Simon explained: "This is a helicopter equipped for the Coast Guard for rescue, anti-drug, navigation, environmental protection, and maritime law monitoring."

Wu Tao nodded and said, "Okay, you can have this."

"UH-60L, Fire Hawk?"

Hearing that the name is a civilian machine, Wu Tao is still not picky: "OK."

Looking at it further, they are all models that are not close to civilian use. Wu Tao interrupted directly: "Can you provide a few transport aircraft, even if it is a reduced configuration."

"HH-53, Super Sea Stallion!"

Wu Tao suddenly became energetic and said: "This, you can have it!" Although it is an old version and there are only two, it is also suitable for civilian use.

Soon, the model provided by the other party was played.Wu Tao pondered for a while and said, "How many robots do you need?"

"At least twenty."

Wu Tao shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Robots with multiple protections are extremely expensive. If you barter, the value of the second-hand helicopters you provide is not equal. So at most ten units, in exchange for two HH-53s, UU- Ten 60Ls, twenty HH-60Js, and fifty speed boats!"

Mason shook his head like a rattle, "That's impossible, Wu!"

"With all due respect, Mason, you really have no choice." Wu Tao spread his hands and said, "In the final analysis, this deal doesn't matter to me. It means something special to you. So this deal can't be done." , instead, I’m at ease, and I don’t have to be suspected and monitored by you. Helicopters and speedboats, I can still buy them through other means.”
