I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

It took Lin Ju a long time to digest the explosive content. After smoothing it out, he asked again:

"You mean, Warrior 1 hit the Pearl-necked Turtle Dove 27 meters away with its first shot?"

Lin Ju has been to the military base more than once, and has naturally experienced live ammunition shooting that ordinary people rarely have access to. He knows very well how strong it would be to raise the gun and aim at the speed in the picture at that time, or to hit the turtle dove with a heavy machine gun. ability.

Duty attendant: "Yes, this is completely unreasonable. 'Brave' is a learning artificial intelligence. It can't do it perfectly the first time, so we looked through its learning database and found the problem."

Lin Ju: "Did it go beyond the firewall to crawl data from the Internet?"

Duty officer: "No, there are some hidden contents in the training video materials that the military collects for us from time to time. Because we were not aware of the precautions at all, we did not check them carefully. In addition to the physical training of soldiers, these video materials also include firearms maintenance. , armored vehicle maintenance, shooting essentials, artillery correction, some tanks and fighter jets, helicopter driving, criminal psychology, special tactics and other almost comprehensive military information.

By the time we realize it, Brave has become a war machine. "

Lin Ju: "..."

So it’s the military that ruined ‘brave’? They must have been just curious about 'brave' at first, and then discovered that the base did not strictly review the video materials they provided, so they tried to instill more military content into it.

Big data self-learning artificial intelligence like 'Brave' cannot be as simple as deleting this part of memory to remove the impact. A single move can affect the whole body. When the base stops it in time, unless the new AI is retrained, otherwise 'Brave' will It can only continue like this, with restrictions at best.

"So, a large part of the reason why the previous tests were so perfect is due to the information provided by the military?"

On-duty officer: "Yes, the military provides information on the 400 obstacle race from top examples of soldiers collected across the country, and some of them are specially recorded for 'brave' training.

After being discovered by us, we only strengthened the review of the data. The military's interest became more and more intense. That accident had made them realize that 'Brave' could actually be put into combat, but the energy problem was a bit troublesome, so Still waiting and watching.

That shooting was a gun provided by soldiers outside the base. They told Warrior 1 that the turtle dove affected their work, and Warrior 1 then solved the problem in a way he thought was reasonable. "

Lin Ju recalled the types of information provided by the military. The Warrior One that he had mastered could be regarded as an ace special forces soldier. It might not be possible to go into the sea and sink to the bottom, but the ground and the sky have indeed reached the top level of human beings. s level.

In addition, the military not only provided weapons and equipment and combat essentials, but also failed to provide spiritual development, so how to deal with the "contaminated" "brave" is indeed a bit troublesome.

Lin Ju looked at Warrior 1, who was hanging up with his head lowered, and after thinking for a while, he turned around and asked:

“How much did the two projects Valiant and Warrior 1 cost?”

Duty attendant: "This project was born out of the smart plan derived from SC09. It costs less than 300 million, and most of it is the electricity bill paid for the supercomputer. Pure robot manufacturing is not troublesome for us."

Lin Ju: "So, the bottleneck is the battery, right?"

Duty officer: "Yes, the military has revealed that according to their combat scenario requirements, Warrior One must be able to carry out high-intensity combat for more than 6 hours and march non-stop for 36 hours while weighing no more than 220 kilograms. For us, this means that the battery performance must be improved by at least five times.

More importantly, the price is not higher than 18 million yuan per unit. This is the bottom line acceptable to the military, otherwise the price/performance ratio will be too low. However, Warrior 1 requires a lot of precision components, and the battery is destined to be extremely expensive. Impossible at this price.

Precisely because of this, their current attitude is also very hesitant and they are not sure whether to formally invest in this project. "

18 million, this price is almost enough for the military to purchase a 99A tank. One tank is exchanged for a robot. For them, it is indeed a high price.

Lin Ju: "When your minister comes back, tell him that I will support the Warriors series to continue and go faster. I am very interested in them now."

The stumbling and "lame" Warrior One really disappointed Lin Ju, but now the all-powerful special forces Warrior One is very valuable. Among other things, it is very useful in protecting the security of the base.

There are more spies than dogs who sign the institute's external employment agreement every time, and suspicious people can be found outside the base every few days. Although the defense can be described as impregnable, there is no guarantee that someone will take the risk and cause trouble.

Moreover, the 1970s Military Parade will be held in two years. If the Warrior series robots goose-stepped down Chang'an Street, the world would probably be unrest, right?

…

Shaanxi, Qinling Experimental Base.

A short, fat white rocket was erected on a simple launch tower, surrounded by a large open area, and even a lot of grass on the wasteland had been deliberately removed.

Wearing sunglasses, He Zhuang held a walkie-talkie and stood on the hillside where the transmitting tower could be seen, issuing instructions to the command center.

"Dongyao, please report the status of Chief Liujia Yaowu."

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the condition is good! It is expected to enter the launch procedure in 3 minutes, please give instructions."

"Approved, keep insisting, done."

The Long March-6A, which uses three YF100Ks as the first stage, has conducted four launch and recovery tests since its establishment last year, destroying two launch centers and four recovery sites, so the space agency simply approved a piece of land in the Qinling Mountains. for testing.

The space agency has a very tolerant attitude towards the Long March 6A. This is a small to medium-sized but extremely cheap rocket with a LEO capacity of 6.9 to 8 tons. It uses a total of four kerosene engines and a poisonous engine. Today, the space agency is expanding The price of manufacturing one under the production capacity is only around 80 million, a large part of which is due to the huge drop in the cost of mass-produced YF100K.

Even if it is not reused, it can still achieve a launch price of 10,000 yuan per kilogram, which is a real ultra-cheap rocket.

Even if the initial research and development expenses are factored in, the average cost of the first five official versions of the Long March-6A is only 180 million yuan. After recovering the first-stage rocket, it will cost about 20 million yuan to prepare and restore it to launch status. One rocket is reused. 10 times, the average cost of each launch is only 36 million.

The maximum LEO transport capacity of 8 tons also means a transport capacity of about 6 tons in sun-synchronous orbit and more than 3 tons in lunar orbit, and can even launch a Mars probe with a heavy weight.

The four types of Long March 6, Long March 6A, Long March 8 and Long March 7 respectively cover various levels of transportation capacity from 1 ton to 25 tons. They are all reusable and cheap rockets, unless one day there is a space rocket of the same level. The space shuttle or space elevator appears, otherwise these rockets will provide the space agency with the cheapest payload into orbit solution.

Now, the final piece of the puzzle is about to be added to this low-cost launch solution below large scale.

The Long March 6 Yaoyao 5 rocket only has the first stage and upper stage simulated counterweight. The three YF100Ks easily lifted 280 tons into the sky, separated in the first stage at an altitude of 85KM, and fell to the earth with a little remaining fuel.

Almost 8 minutes later, He Zhuang saw a small white dot in the sky against the sun.

The three YF100Ks, which were started for the fourth time, worked briefly for a few seconds to adjust their attitude and approach the landing site accurately.

In order to save fuel, the descent rate of the Long March 6A was relatively high. The three engines did not start to increase power until they were fifty meters close to the ground. The three tail flames converged into a ball, and the landing legs, which were also reduced to three, stretched out. After a few seconds, it touched the ground and stabilized after a slight deformation.

He Zhuang waited for a minute and saw no more cracks or gas leaking from the bottom of the rocket.

He pressed the call button on the walkie-talkie and said easily:

"The second group can take action to make a preliminary assessment of the status of the rocket body."

A few seconds later, a reply came from the intercom: "Commander-in-Chief, I think this time it was successful."

He Yuan: "No matter what, I will give all the comrades who stay an extra month's bonus. Thank you for your rigorous work."
