Genius is just the threshold for me!

Di-

By 8 p.m., the sunset had faded.

As soon as Lin Dong got home, he was asked to sit on a small stool in the living room.

Lin Weiliang turned on the anti-eavesdropping device in his house, pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Lin Dong, staring intently at the wayward son in front of him who no longer looked like a child but was now a teenager.

"explain!"

Lin Weiliang slammed his hand on the chair and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were making this mechanical dog?"

"Dad, I told you about the confidential online meeting yesterday..." Lin Dong quickly raised his hand to defend himself.

"You told me yesterday that the mechanical dog system was finished, not that the mechanical dog itself was finished... Can a system really run around in the sunset?"

Lin Weiliang felt very angry when he talked about this.

Heaven knows that when he came back from get off work, he was seen by Li Tao and others, and a group of teenagers surrounded him.

Ask Uncle Lin if this mechanical dog is playable like a swarm of drones.

The person who said, "Uncle Lin, how do you operate and design this mechanical dog? Uncle Lin is so amazing..."

He was also forced to smile and nod in response: "Yes, yes, yes."

That feeling, that sensation, was even harder to bear than taking the blame for Lin Dong.

"Yesterday, we only had the system; the mechanical dog wasn't finished."

Lin Dong continued to raise his hand, defending himself: "But Dad, you also know that this mechanical dog is not a supersonic fighter jet; its speed limit is only 90 kilometers per hour."

The speed of production means that it doesn't have high requirements for craftsmanship or materials. Using PEEK material is the best respect it can receive. With Uncle Xu's arrangement, it was made in just one day..."

He was telling the truth.

If Lin Weiliang hadn't been avoiding him yesterday, he would definitely have explained this matter clearly.

After all, the core algorithm of the mechanical dog is the same as that of the multi-axis drone, and its ultimate fate is still inseparable from Comrade Lin Weiliang.

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Weiliang decided not to dwell on the matter and asked seriously, "What are your plans for this mechanical dog?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to make combat mechs for the army? How come you're making one of Qingling's pets?"

"The data from the motion model is insufficient to meet the combat requirements of the combat robotic dog."

Lin Dong shook his head, his expression already showing he had a plan: "I want my uncle's side to do commercial promotion. In the early stages, they can provide 50,000 to 100,000 yuan to Chengdu to cooperate on some daily public services, which can be linked with Chengdu's current technological development positioning."

In addition, the local government should establish a half-price or full-price subsidy program for blind people to purchase the robotic dogs as soon as possible.

By early next year, I should have collected all the training data I need…

"Providing 50,000 to 100,000 units before even making a profit—how much does that cost? Does your uncle's business even need to continue operating normally...?"

Lin Weiliang's eyes widened, and the veins on his temples throbbed twice. He really didn't know what to say about Lin Dong's nonchalant attitude towards money.

Subsidizing blind people with half-price discounts is fine; he approves of good deeds. But what about the local government providing 50,000 to 100,000 robotic dogs for daily public activities?

"Because this way we can scale up faster, get the training data up and running, reduce training time, and it can also be used for publicity and promotion to help open up the commercial market later... My time is more valuable than these hundreds of millions."

Lin Dong briefly explained the purpose of providing it for free, then looked at Lin Weiliang with a hopeful expression, saying, "If Dad could have mastered the technology of the mechanical dog earlier, we wouldn't have needed Uncle's arrangement; we could have directly asked the Army to help with the training..."

But if you're assigned to the army before you've mastered the technology, and other experts consult you, or headquarters wants to conduct in-depth development, and you're completely clueless and unable to cooperate... it's very difficult for me to assign you."

...It seems this is still my problem.

Lin Weiliang's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath, saying, "Give me the commercial version of the technology, and I'll go talk to your uncle."

Whether it was given away for free or sold at a discount, he was able to increase the number of mechanical dogs he owned within two months.

Although Lin Weiliang felt somewhat uncomfortable with Lin Dong's arrangement of spending money to buy time and data, he had to admit it.

Compared to the cost of several hundred million, this unfilial son's time is indeed more precious.

As for whether Zhang Fangxu will agree to this plan, there's no need to worry about that.

After all, he had taken the blame for so many things for this kid, and now he was even followed by armed security teams whenever he went out.

In the minds of Zhang Fangxu and her family, who were still unaware of the truth, he had already become a technical superman, the pride of the Zhang family, and the perfect son-in-law in the eyes of Lin Dong's maternal grandparents, the kind who could lead the entire Zhang family to enlightenment.

At this point, all he needs to do is say something like, "This is part of the research and development plan."

Zhang Fangxu wouldn't hesitate for a second and would immediately pat his chest and assure him: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll go back and arrange the money-spending plan right away."

If he hesitated even slightly, Lin Dong's maternal grandparents would invite him to eat the childhood home-style dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork.

The two elderly people were smoking and scolding each other: "Your brother-in-law is so busy, he finally has a little free time to help you improve yourself, and you're still being stingy and embarrassing..."

"That's fine."

Lin Dong expressed satisfaction with Comrade Lin Weiliang's awareness, then, as if remembering something, earnestly asked, "Dad, do you have any good ideas about controlling this mechanical dog?"

talking.

Lin Dong proposed using voice control for the mechanical dog, but the voiceprint recognition module was expensive, and not using the voiceprint recognition module would render it unintelligent, as it would obey anyone's voice commands.

Unlike drone pilots who can hide and control their drones stealthily, robotic dogs rely on insidious tactics.

Because they need to coordinate with the infantry, the infantry must fight while simultaneously sending coordination commands to the robotic dogs.

Therefore, the robotic dog must have a control scheme that can receive commands from the infantry at any time, while not being interfered with by other factors, to ensure that the robotic dog can fight stably.

Voice control and gesture control are the solutions Lin Dong plans to implement.

However, both of these approaches have a problem: they can easily lead to confusion between friendly and enemy commands, and one's own dog can easily be called away by someone else.

Voiceprint recognition devices that address this issue are too expensive and have limited accuracy in complex battlefield environments.

Upon hearing this, Lin Weiliang glanced at Lin Dong, seemingly trying to determine whether Lin Dong was genuinely surprised or simply trying to deceive him.

But after looking at Lin Dong for two seconds and seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, he immediately smiled and said, "Voice control can be replaced with a point-to-point remote control solution."

Each robotic dog will be assigned a control number, and a microphone remote control that can send control commands will be designed.

The microphone collects the soldier's voice commands and converts them into control signals, which are then sent to the robotic dog, thus preventing external voice interference.

The microphone can be made in both laser communication and wireless communication modes. The power and size of laser communication over a distance of several hundred meters are not large, and the hardware cost plus manufacturing cost is less than one hundred dollars.

As for encryption in the intermediate stages, and preventing the enemy from obtaining the signal device for remote control, there are mature solutions available that can be easily modified.

A gesture control solution could be implemented by adding a signal recognizer... Remember those simulation shooting games you played as a kid?

The essence of this shooting game is that the flying pattern carries an invisible identification code, but the gun's lens can capture this code. When you aim and press the trigger, the game console will determine that the shot has hit.

A similar approach can be used to control the gestures of a robotic dog, creating a signal recognition device that can be worn on the wrist.

In this way, when a soldier makes a control gesture, the robotic dog will receive both the recognition signal and the control gesture signal; it will only execute the command if both are confirmed.

As for the enemy's control gestures, since there are no recognition signals, the robotic dog will simply ignore them and not pay attention to them.

Done.

Lin Weiliang let out a rare long sigh of relief.

He leaned back in his chair, feeling a surge of joy and pride, thinking that his unfilial son would finally come to him for advice.

"Oh, I see. I understand now."

Lin Dong suddenly realized something, and his expression conveyed a great deal of emotional value.

After saying that, Lin Dong checked the time and it was already 8:30. He took out a list that he had prepared in advance, placed it in front of Lin Weiliang, and got up to walk towards the study.

"Dad, I'm going to read some books and take care of some things."

"Wait, tell your classmate!"

Lin Weiliang seemed to have thought of something and shouted to Lin Dong, "Tell them not to call him Dog King, but Wolf King."

"Okay, I'll tell them tomorrow."

Lin Dong waved his hand, acknowledging his father's simple wish.

"...Why do I feel like I've been fooled by this kid?"

As Lin Weiliang watched Lin Dong enter the study, he suddenly frowned, sensing something was amiss.

He always felt like he had been coaxed.

But after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't come up with a solution, so I simply ignored it.

Ever since he realized that there was a monster in his family, and that he was experiencing the life of a godfather who usually retires at sixty and whose son is fully grown up, he has become more open-minded.

After all, humans can't compare to monsters.

Ordinary people can live longer by relaxing their minds.

just.

Lin Weiliang had just relaxed and looked away when he saw the study list left by Lin Dong in front of him, which was either four or five pages long. His expression froze for a moment, and he finally couldn't help but sigh, "What a disaster."
