Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 717 [EXOP: Individual Load Support System]

So far, the bionic is undoubtedly Luo Sheng's most proud work. It is no exaggeration to say that the future commercial valuation of bionic technology is unmatched by the entire Côte d’Azur.

The Welfare Ji in the Dead House is just one direction, even trivial.

As long as it is something humans can do, in addition to intellectual creation, traditional labor and work bionics can do it. For things that humans cannot do, or some dangerous work that they don’t want to do, bionics can do the same and do more. it is good.

For example, thousands of people can enter workplaces around the world, and safe and dangerous jobs can be handed over to bionics.

At that time, being able to work and being able to work will become a privilege of human beings. In the near future, being qualified to work will become a privilege that only a few people can have, and most low-line labor will not need humans in the future society. .

When human society in the near future releases unprecedented productivity with the advancement of science and technology, a large number of unemployed people will multiply, but the unemployed can still live and have basic livelihood guarantee, but it is not too big for such groups to live. Significance, and this will bring instability to society.

At this time, it is necessary to hedge against such unstable factors. There is no doubt that Luo Sheng’s solution is the virtual world. Let these people find the meaning of life in the virtual world again, at least indulging in it will not be in reality. I went to the streets to make trouble.

Luo Sheng put his hand down, not teasing the beautiful tool girl paper, but No. 2 suddenly said: "If the master really wants, I can reshape the body. The master only needs to provide some data of the inverted film mold you have poured. Parameter indicators will do."

Luo Sheng who heard this staggered, looking at the real human emotions simulated by No. 2, he coughed a few times and said faintly: "Don't confuse the cuteness in front of me, I just praised it. It’s just a genius design level."

Luo Sheng is still not going to deal with the tool man, real people can't wait, and he won't be hafnium...

"Okay, then... I'm going to make the 18th." No. 2 bionic human sister Zhi said with a smile. This is her current main job.

When she went to work, Luo Sheng suddenly stopped her when she heard this, and said, "Wait, the characterization No. 18 is defined as a female, just follow this blond image."

After speaking, Luo Sheng called up a picture on the display panel.

The No. 2 bionic human sister paper quickly downloaded the picture information, and asked curiously: "Yes, master. But can I ask why I took this image?"

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just because of feelings, let's go and do your job first."

"Okay, Master."

When he heard the word No. 18, Luo Sheng couldn't help thinking of the robot No. 18. He suddenly thought of paying tribute.

So far, the production of bionics is not enough to achieve mass production. On average, only one can be produced per month, and only 12 in a year, but now it is only used exclusively.

Before the establishment of the virtual world ecosystem, Luo Sheng will not consider the commercialization of bionics. It is enough for his own use, and the cost is so high that only the super rich can afford a single cost of US$200 million. Up.

Luo Sheng left the underground laboratory and went to the Blue Coast Laboratory on the same day. The company undertook three military research projects, including swarm drones, unmanned submarine vehicles and powered exoskeleton.

Compared with outsiders, especially netizens who call it "mechanical exoskeleton", the Riviera internally defines this equipment as "individual load-bearing assistance system", which is oriented to the military field and focuses on compressing the load, and can quickly A set of peripheral auxiliary equipment that synchronizes the movements of the wearer.

...

"The research and development of the EXOP-X system has entered the commissioning stage. It is equipped with 128 large and small sensors, 18 drives and 3 controllers to ensure perfect synchronization and increase in mechanics. The cost is about 400,000 yuan."

At this moment, Luo Sheng came to the "Individual Load Support System" department. The person in charge of this department was receiving the BOSS and introduced the current work progress.

In this indoor test site, there are 20 or 30 staff members doing their own things, and five or six complete EXOP-X individual load-bearing assistance systems are being tested.

Luo Sheng looked around slowly, and said: "Exoskeleton has been active in the human science and technology arena for nearly a hundred years, and has made great progress in recent years, but there are still many problems, and the most basic mechanics of movement has been solved. In addition to synchronization, the EMG signal collection method has strict environmental restrictions. The sensor will be disturbed due to the influence of subtle factors such as sweat, which will cause the exoskeleton to delay the action feedback, making it difficult to handle difficult movements. This technical pain point Pay attention to it. On the battlefield, this will be fatal and there is no room for carelessness."

The person in charge of the department nodded and said: “In general, our EXOP system is a world leader in load-bearing capacity and design structure. It is more advanced than the old and beautiful Raytheon and Boston Dynamics, but it still faces battery life. And the lack of power, the power problem is okay, this year it can be high or low, and the solution is only a matter of time, mainly in terms of battery life."

Luo Sheng said: “Don’t worry about battery life. The new energy research department has been developing new high-density energy batteries for some years. The technology is constantly improving. Combined with the application of new materials such as graphene, the battery life problem will not be delayed. One step is successful."

The new energy department has been established for seven or eight years, and the investment is huge, especially the development of new graphene materials. This project is the company's golden beast second only to virtual brains.

At this time, the person in charge of the department suggested: "Mr. Luo, the lack of endurance is mainly for civilian use compared to more demanding military uses. I think it is completely possible. Can you consider launching corresponding products in the civilian market first? In this way, R&D costs can be shared equally to a large extent."

Although the company is super rich, all major departments also have KPIs, two different things.

The load-bearing auxiliary system is also a very broad product in the civil field. For example, it can play a major role in the logistics industry. In addition, in some disaster areas, such as fires, firefighters wearing this auxiliary equipment break the wall in a circle Saving people is not impossible.

As long as the practicality goes up, there is no business prospects at all.

However, his proposal was rejected by Luo Sheng on the spot. He shook his head and said, "Never mind the civilian use. The EXOP system is enough to focus on military use. As for the civilian use, Bochuang Technology is doing it. Doing it again will be a bit resourceful. The repetition is wasted."

Borch Technology is a technology company founded by Chen Xin after the 1990s. It is now a well-known startup company in the industry. People recognize the company as a provider that focuses on providing human bionic prostheses.

It is worth mentioning that the birth of Borch Technology has impacted the existing prosthetic market, and its selling price is more than 10 times lower than that of traditional manufacturers and its superior experience quickly occupy the market.

Chen Xin is also actively expanding into new markets. The bionic prosthesis is also a type of mechanical exoskeleton, which is only a partial exoskeleton, but it also shows that Borch Technology has the technical foundation.

Luo Sheng asked: "When is it expected to be put into use?"

The person in charge replied: "It can be put into use soon in the second half of the year, and at the beginning of next year at the latest, but the premise is that the battery life remains the same. It depends on the development progress of the new high-density energy battery in the new energy department."

Luo Sheng nodded: "Well, sort out a report and send it to me. I have to send it to Colonel Yang Hongyi later."

The "X" of the EXOP-X system is the test version, that is, the prototype. The first generation product after finalization is the "EXOP-A" model.
