Chapter 318 The basic point of thinking
"The mecha based on non-contact dynamic perception has essentially changed the current mecha system. Yin'er's mecha may go a little more extreme in this regard, but that was after I hesitated. decided. After all, she is not a professional military personnel, and she does not have time for long-term and extensive physical training. However, I am a little surprised that you will solve the physical bottleneck in this way." Lin Wenfang said with a smile: "Your mecha It needs a lot of electronic equipment to assist, and it needs extremely strong overall computing power. I think, with your character and the resources you have, you may even have specially developed chips and other technical frameworks to make this system work. However, this is actually a A small expression of a larger proposition: how much do we depend on machinery, electronics, and external conditions."

An Lian was stunned by Lin Wenfang's words.It can be seen that Lin Wenfang's speculation has reached a new height.Dependence on technology has always been a chronic disease of human society, and it seems that it cannot be shaken off.Fosun Group, as the branch of the Hefner Institute that values ​​technology the most, may go further than others in this regard.Although speculation on the relationship between technology and human beings has been going on, due to the long-standing habits and ways of thinking, the results can be imagined. They don't seem to mind the dependence on technology.

"You mean, what Yu Xiao and the others are doing is another general direction?" An Lian asked.

Lin Wenfang shrugged his shoulders and said: "The fundamental goal of everyone is the future. In fact, they are all preparing for the future of human beings going to the universe. However, unless Yu Xiao can push the plan of the Iron Man series to the level of cultivating immortals and body training in the novel, otherwise To say that this is a general direction is nonsense. We all know how the environment in the universe is going on. The Iron Man series plan is part of a huge plan, which is the so-called super soldier plan. Many equipment in the super soldier plan are now All are already in the practical stage, including multi-functional full-isolation combat suits, personal battlefield information equipment, first-aid life support systems, etc. In fact, it is a mecha without power, and it is completely powered by people themselves to ensure lasting combat effectiveness .It is said that the human body is the first sequence of mechs... This statement is not completely nonsensical. In contrast, our mechas are more complex, relying more on technical conditions, and there are also differences in technical applications. From hunters In the beginning, our dependence on technology has been increasing. Even if there is no power, the hunter mech can barely move by relying on the human body itself. It is just a heavier power-assisted system and some armor. The armor is different. Armored armor is the so-called typical armor: it depends on technology and the operation of the pilot. The stronger the pilot, the greater the role it can play. Judging from the current development situation, it may be the mainstream of development for a long time to come. This kind of typical mecha. Then, your hero mecha, and the one of Yue Yuyin, may have to be regarded as super-type mecha. It has stronger combat power, better protection for the crew, richer combat methods, and more advanced technology. The content is higher, but the threshold for operating mechs is lower. I know that you love to speculate on technology, so just imagine, what is the limit of this system?"

An Lian didn't say a word. This is something Fosun Group has deduced long ago, something related to the future of mankind.A comprehensive discussion of this aspect has been carried out as early as the early days of the Hefner Society.An individual can operate a mecha or a similar machine, and all life depends on it, and the function of a person is focused on thinking, that is, the future imagination of human beings with a big head and a small body.

Lin Wenfang smiled slightly and said, "I know what I'm thinking, and it's true. From my point of view, you have your worries, and I have mine. I don't know if that's inevitable, But if we really want to reach that point, human beings will be ruled by machines. Are you worried that Fire Feather, or any artificial intelligence that will be born now and in the future, will rule the world, is there any difference from this? It’s just machines with thinking and machines without thinking difference."

An Lian smiled wryly, and said, "Could it be that you don't want to help and are looking for an interface?"

Lin Wenfang smiled plainly and said, "What do I want to do or don't want to do now, do I still need to find an excuse?"

An Lian nodded helplessly, and said, "Well, that's true."

Lin Wenfang said, "Let's go. It looks like there is more than one item on the agenda for today."

An Lian shrugged and said, "I have reservations about what you said about being informed by a thinking machine or ruled by a machine without thinking. Others... we can talk about it later."

The size of the basement of the clubhouse was so large that Lin Wenfang was dumbfounded. The spacious library, reading room, computer room, research room, etc. all surrounded the elevator and expanded outwards round and round. Lin Wenfang found that he had reached the The outer layer of the fourth circle should be more than 200 meters away from the elevator, and it seems that it is no longer in the underground of Hanjing No. [-] clubhouse.

An Lian explained: "A large area around here belongs to our group. It should be said... the nine blocks centered on Hanjing No. [-] belong to us. Of course, it doesn't look like it on the surface. There are several entrances and exits here , The staff usually enter and exit through other entrances. Most of them have cover identities. As for you, if you enter and exit through other exits, it will be more eye-catching, right?"

Lin Wenfang smiled wryly.Status is really a monster, and he does feel uncomfortable right now.

There were not too many staff and researchers coming and going, but seeing An Lian personally accompanying a stranger here, everyone still showed enough surprise.Perhaps it is not a stranger, Lin Wenfang is wearing a military uniform, the general star on the shoulder, and the robot embroidered logo on the arm are enough to show his identity, not to mention that Lin Wenfang has shown his face in various media of the Federation, and knows him There are too many people.

"President, where are you taking General Lin?" A head popped out of an office and asked in as casual a tone as possible.

"Oh, Major General Lin is now an ally of the association. I brought him here to understand the technical information. Geng Mang just went to prepare."

"Okay, but don't involve my field." After finishing speaking, he retracted his head.

An Lian shrugged and said, "Signal analysis system expert, Lei Luo."

Lin Wenfang shrugged noncommittally, not taking it seriously.The signal analysis system actually accounts for quite a large proportion of the mech's system.Related technologies are involved in sub-links such as observation, target analysis, information prompt, database pipeline, result judgment and data link sharing.This Lei Luo seems to have a lot of opinions on him, otherwise he wouldn't jump out in front of him at this time and make such a toss.

"Are there so many?" Lin Wenfang asked.

An Lian said casually: "Who knows. I don't need to listen to my subordinates' opinions on this kind of issue."

Lin Wenfang smiled.It was enough for An Lian to say that.She must have been under a lot of pressure, and more than one person objected to letting a person outside the society understand, and perhaps analyze and study their technical system.For them who claim to be ahead of the world's average level for many years, it is a humiliating enough thing for others to understand their design and intention. If they can understand it, it means that their technology is no better than the current common technology. Being more than a generation ahead is enough for them to consider it a failure.

Soon Lin Wenfang came to the widest room in the entire underground research institute. An Lian's mecha and a series of high-performance computers were placed on the left and right sides of the room.Obviously, this place was specially arranged for receiving Lin Wenfang today. I am afraid that quite a few people in the underground research institute do not want to see Lin Wenfang running around.

"Let me take a look at the mecha first." Lin Wenfang said lightly.

An Lian's mecha is indeed very light in operation.The cockpit is semi-suspended, and the pilot sits in it mainly supported and fixed by the cushions on the waist, crotch and upper back, and the rest is covered with a motion-capture outerwear made of thin but tough synthetic silk.After the whole person sits in the mech, a uniform light blue light will be lit in the cockpit, and the reflective spots on the surface of the capture system's outer cover will light up.Cameras in the cockpit are better able to track each reflective point, which is then translated into the mech's movements.This internal capture system is indeed very advanced, with high motion sensing accuracy and high response speed.The operating system of the mecha is highly intelligent, because although the motion capture can present most of the movements, due to the problem of the cockpit structure, some body center of gravity and height adjustment postures cannot be presented. These actions are presented, and in case of an emergency, the mecha can respond by itself.

Generally speaking, this operating system is amazing, but it is precisely because the space required for motion capture is relatively large, so that although this machine has flexible movements, its body is also the largest among all current mechas.In other mechas, the pilot can directly get into the cockpit without the assistance of any other devices, but this mecha has a ladder designed on the inside of the knee for the pilot to go up and down.

The mech uses multi-point power, a motor that Lin Wenfang has never seen before, the output power is very large, and it is quiet, and the motor uses a fluid dynamic bearing.This technology was basically only used on very small motors, such as hard disks, optical drives, and the like.It is not a matter of doubling the manufacturing difficulty of such a large-sized fluid dynamic bearing.The power distribution system and battery are also designed around this engine, which is reliable and durable.The power transmission is carried out by multiple differential gear sets. Lin Wenfang was dumbfounded by the sets of complex gears, but this kind of gear set not only has very accurate power distribution, but also has good durability and low loss. A makes particularly complex joint movements.

Lin Wenfang felt that this mecha should be a show-off of the research department of Fosun Group before seeing the characteristics of the complete mecha, otherwise it would be unreasonable to use so many headache-inducing technologies.
