"Your Majesty, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you really mean?"
Ang Gao is not an impatient person, but in front of Qian Sui, he simply couldn't be patient.
"Well, it's not a big problem, but after you make these modifications, you can't drive more than 10 kilometers before you get a tire blowout."
"A tire blowout? How could that be? This tire is so hard, yet its flexibility hasn't decreased."
“Sir, you need to consider the issue of moderation. Did you only modify the outer tire?” Chisui patiently continued to explain.
"Yeah, tires are just about the outer tire, right? As long as you're not afraid of punctures, what's there to be afraid of?"
Gao Feng was somewhat puzzled.
"According to its factory standards, the outer tire and inner tube are broken in, meaning they complement each other perfectly. Now, after your modifications, the outer tire's hardness has been greatly improved, but what about the inner tube?"
After Qian Sui put it this way, Gao Ang finally understood what he meant.
"The inner tube hasn't been modified, so it will still rub against the outer tire during driving. Because the outer tire has been modified and its hardness has increased dramatically, the friction wear on the inner tube will increase, leading to a blowout..."
This principle is easy to understand. It's like rubbing two pieces of paper together. At first, you can rub them for ten minutes, and then they will break.
Now, if you replace a piece of paper with a steel plate, it will be worn through in less than a minute.
"So I also need to modify the inner tube, no, I also need to modify the rim, no..."
After calculating step by step, Gao Ang glanced at his beat-up car and thought, "I need to completely modify this car."
"Yes, otherwise the wear and tear on each part would increase. You can only ensure that the whole car will not have any problems by modifying it to the same level."
So, for the next two days, Gao Ang got up early and worked late to get to Changming Island.
They called it: to communicate more with everyone.
Hard work pays off. On the afternoon of September 20th, Gao Ang finally completed the ultimate transformation of his old car.
From a screw to a coil, he reassembled everything, but of course, the appearance didn't change much; it was still the same.
The electrical components are still the same, and the original function is not affected. However, after this modification, the car can be said to be impervious to water and fire.
Rusting, explosions—that's impossible.
Rubber tires are still made of rubber, but diamond-like molecules are added to their molecular structure. While maintaining their original properties, they can basically resist most damage.
The vehicle body is made of steel and aluminum alloy. After being modified, it shouldn't be too deformed when it collides with a tank, right?
He wasn't entirely sure, since he hadn't crashed it, but it was definitely much sturdier than his previous car.
"This can be considered a new power field. The combination of multiple abilities produces a qualitative change, covering the entire spectrum from macro to micro. I will call you: the Power Field."
It's definitely an all-out battleground.
The three major forces in nature—gravitational field, magnetic field, and electric field—are all manifested in him.
The flight technology he developed himself utilized a space field that he named himself.
With the three force fields plus the spatial field, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a full-force field.
As for this spatial field, Gao Ang just gave it a name out of thin air.
In his view, space is omnipresent and has a wider range of applicability than other force fields.
The only thing that can rival a spatial field is a gravitational field.
Magnetic and electric fields are limited, while the other two force fields are ubiquitous.
Any matter with mass has a gravitational field; the difference lies in the size of the field.
Similarly, as long as it is matter, there will be space to exist. Even the smallest atoms and charges will have space as long as they exist.
However, Gao's application of spatial fields is currently limited to the macroscopic level, namely flight, instantaneous self-teleportation, and telekinesis.
Flight relies on the expansion of space, while telekinesis and instantaneous teleportation rely on the collapse of space.
In principle, flight can also be achieved by using space collapse.
This is the same principle as reversing and moving forward.
However, he prefers to fly by expanding space, because expanding space requires cells to move rapidly, and the rapid movement of cells reduces the energy reserves in his body.
When inventory runs out, it needs to be replenished. This process of buying and selling is a process of raising one's own ceiling.
Another reason why he likes to fly inflated form is that Gao Feng feels that when he flies inflated form, he is like a jet fighter.
Collapse flight is like a pangolin... it has to hollow out the front of itself to move over, which is awkward no matter how you look at it.
"Sir, Zhang Youwei has set the opening date, which is the same day as the first batch of NSG deliveries. He asked if you would like to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
After a flurry of activity, Qian Sui slid her little wheels and ran to Gao Ang, where she delivered this message.
“I’m not going. Didn’t I already say that he’s in full charge and I’m just a raw material supplier?”
"Hmm, a raw material supplier with a 70% stake, you've got some nerve," Qian Sui thought to himself, prompting Gao Ang to glare at him angrily. "You have no manners, you're even criticizing the boss now."
The ambient light for the thousand-year-old flickered a few times, as if sticking out its tongue, and then immediately turned and left.
“Come back,” Gao Ang called to Qian Sui, who was about to slip away, and lifted him up. “Look, I’ve already modified this old car a bit. How about I give you a complete upgrade?”
"No, I think my body is fine. If you really want to upgrade us, it would be better to give us a human body structure."
The thousand-year-old propeller kept spinning, vehemently protesting the exorbitant proposal.
"Human architecture? That's a great idea."
After putting down Qian Sui, Gao Ang began to consider the feasibility of this matter.
In early February 2016, Boston Dynamics released a video on YouTube featuring a bipedal walking robot named Atlas.
Boston Dynamics engineers improved the robot's algorithm and taught it how to find a firm foothold while standing, allowing it to traverse complex terrain.
This humanoid robot is already able to maintain its balance, traverse piles of rocks, and distribute its weight to maintain equilibrium.
This robot has 28 hydraulically operated joints and stereoscopic vision, making it one of the most advanced robots currently available.
The only problem is that the robot is still controlled by humans, and controlling it is not an easy task; it requires complex calculation programs rather than simple joysticks.
"Wouldn't it be perfect if I brought this robot over and had Chitose replace this 'complex calculation program'?"
He had no doubt about Chisui's control skills.
He can control those complex physical and biological instruments very well, with every step and movement precise to the micrometer level.
Moreover, the Thousand-Year-Old is an unheard-of biological computer plus a biological AI, isn't that much better than that damn computing program?
The computing program is ultimately an integrated circuit; it still needs to go through a series of calculations before it can perform the corresponding reflection action.
But Chitose is different; he has a human-like brain. Given any stimulus, he can react in the most reasonable way, just like a human.
The difference may seem small, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
So, the question is, how do we get our hands on this robot?
Buying it is out of the question. This thing is a core competitive product of Boston Dynamics and should be classified as top secret. Don't even think about buying it with money.
Stealing? That's just asking for trouble...
"But if we're being reasonable, we can force our way in."
However, Gao Ang quickly dismissed the idea, thinking it was more appropriate to come up with some reliable solutions.
If we force our way through, we'll definitely face the mountain kingdom's heavy security, and who knows how big the commotion will be.
"My lord, could you get the detailed blueprints and specifications for this robot from Boston Dynamics?"
"Sir, what do you think?"
Gao Ang smiled awkwardly. "That's true. They must have kept this on a local area network or on paper. How could they possibly put it on the internet?"
"Then we have to start from scratch. Since they won't give it to us, we'll have to do it ourselves."
The moment the idea of walking upright came to mind, Gao Ang was filled with energy.
The structure of a bipedal walking robot should be divided into three parts.
The first one is the humanoid structure.
In other words, external hardware facilities are used to support the robot's walking, moving, and other actions.
The second is the internal mechanical structure.
For example, joint rotation, power source, etc.
The third is the computing center.
It is also the core area of this robot, used to collect and process surrounding information, and then command the internal mechanical structure to complete various actions of the external humanoid structure.
Of these three parts, the most difficult computational center can be replaced by Chitose.
Regarding the first part, the humanoid structure... Gao Ang thought of an ideal borrowing object—Iron Man.
Isn't this a ready-made humanoid structure? It has arms and legs, a big head, and it even fits his own aesthetic. It couldn't be better.
Most importantly, among the people he knew, there happened to be someone who had a finished product.
Gao Ang took out his phone, looked at the names in his contacts, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the button.
"Hey, isn't this the big streamer? What, you remembered your number one fan?"
Old Wan's pleasant voice came from the other end, but the sarcastic tone made Gao Ling roll his eyes.
"What a load of rubbish, I haven't streamed in ages. My stream channel is practically rusty. By the way, are you free?"
"What? I have free time every day, am I just going to laze around and wait to die?"
The rich kids are just like that; they can talk about being lazy and idle like this with such confidence.
"Hehehe, I'm really interested in your Iron Man model. How about you sell me a few sets?"
Gao Ang didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"I knew something was up. Judging from your tone, you've been making a lot of money lately. Did you really set up that ROG?"
At the end, Lao Wan's tone still carried a hint of disbelief.
Indeed, in her memory, this little streamer was always making a big fuss. After taking a break from streaming for a while, he created a miracle drug. How could she not be surprised?
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, I am just a humble person."
Gao Feng humbly admitted it, but secretly felt a little pleased with himself.
His name was already on the list of executives at Dong Sheng Health, and he also planned to use Dong Sheng Health to whitewash his image and find a protective umbrella for himself.
As for Lao Wan, he's willing to spend tens of millions on live streaming, so his vision and perspective are definitely extraordinary.
Sure enough, after hearing his admission, Old Man on the other end just said "Oh" and then asked him what he wanted to do with Iron Man.
"Ahem, I recently got a sudden urge to play with some high-tech gadgets, and then I remembered you have Iron Man, so I was thinking, could I find a way to make it move..."
Gao Ang made up a random excuse, intending to get away with it.
"I also had the idea of making it move, and I even spent a lot of money to get a hydraulic power system from the Academy of Sciences, and bought a similar robot from Japan. Unfortunately, our company's engineers are too stupid and have not been able to debug it properly."
Okay, let's meet and talk face-to-face. I'll bring our company's engineers along so you can exchange ideas.
Gao Ang was taken aback; he hadn't expected that Lao Wan, this rich second-generation, would believe him so easily.
comminicate?
What kind of communication is this? He only learned about the concept of bipedalism today.
However, it doesn't seem appropriate to just say that you can't do it.
"Okay then, give me an address, I happen to be free."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Ang immediately urged Qian Sui to gather some information and copy it all into his head.
Whether it's useful or not, it's embarrassing if you can't answer a single question when someone uses technical jargon.
On the way to Hangzhou, Gao Ang kept digesting the information.
The copy was copied, but you can't just blindly apply it; you have to have some of your own insights.
Fortunately, his brain was indeed different; in just one hour, he had almost completely digested the information that Chitose had brought him.
During the robot's walking process, the projection of its center of gravity always lies within the polygonal support area, which allows the robot to stop walking without falling.
Bipedal balance in complex terrain cannot be achieved by a single controller, so a strategy of switching between multiple controllers can solve the balance problem.
Compensating for the robot's ankle joint trajectory to prevent excessive tilting of the robot in the rolling direction, etc.
"Sir, there is an impending car accident ahead."
With Chisui's prompting, Gao Feng also realized the impending tragedy.
