Can run, jump, and balance!
These requirements may sound high, but in fact they are not high at all.
According to the level of science and technology in this world, not to mention professional technicians starting with a doctorate degree, but also some folk 'masters' who are keen on robots, they can run, jump and even fly quickly. of robots.
But again, abandoning size and only talking about performance is rogue logic.
The humanoid robots currently on the market and even in laboratories that can perform complex movements are only three to five meters tall, or even lower, and weigh no more than three hundred kilograms. They are used in disaster relief and mining. , ocean, aerospace and other fields.
As for the robot that Horii and Dr. Yao built, Unit 1 is 32.6 meters tall, and it also has the ability to switch back and forth between flight mode and combat mode.
In flight mode, it can fly at high speeds of several Mach at high altitudes and outer space. Dr. Eight-tails even considered leaving a port for the Max power system so that it can use Max power in flight mode. System;
The combat mode requires that when turning into a robot, it can stand stably and complete actions such as running, jumping, and rolling. The design requirements are even more capable of being tens of meters tall and tens of thousands of tons. A heavy monster, an indicator for a short confrontation.
Anyone who has assembled a model should know that when it comes to deformation, the complexity and precision are doubled. Even if one part is wrong, it will jam the whole, which requires parts. If it is done precisely enough, it could be a whole Parts can only be made up of many parts due to deformation requirements;
Being able to fight monsters requires the body to be strong enough, thick-skinned, and resistant to beatings. The best way is to cast it in one piece. After all, no matter how good it is Connection cannot compare to the whole, but this is contrary to deformation.
To solve this problem, we can only use materials with higher strength. For example, a whole piece of wood can support the weight. But if there are multiple pieces of wood, nails must be used at the connections.
So, the materials that were originally used in fighter jets are not enough for GW-R. Materials with better performance are needed, and not just one kind, but many, different ones. Parts, different systems, and different functions require different high-performance materials.
For example, a certain joint part requires a material whose tensile strength is stronger than steel, but softer than rubber.
Is there such a material that sounds incredible?
Yes, it is spider silk.
The strength of spider silk is several times that of ordinary steel. The silk spun by specially bred spiders can be up to dozens of times stronger. Not long ago, I heard that a biological laboratory had developed spider silk that was a hundred times stronger than steel.
High strength, strong softness, and high elasticity. It is a magical mess. The only disadvantage is that it is too expensive.
But this is only one of the required materials. Currently, there are more than 200 required high-performance materials listed, and only half of them on the market can meet the demand.
This means that the remaining half still needs to be solved.
However, this problem does not need to be faced for the time being. After all, the design requirements for Unit 1 are not high, as long as it can meet the verification needs. After all, if you can't even crawl, it will be even harder to walk. Talked about.
Therefore, Dr. Yatsuo and the others were not in a hurry to search for these high-performance materials all over the world. They just made a list and focused on getting the giant robot first, building it and taking a look at it before talking about subsequent improvements and enhancements.
"Take your time, don't rush, don't rush." Chiba Cheng said: "To win steadily, what we have to do is to move forward steadily."
Many things cannot be rushed. , and the more urgent it is, the more chaotic it will be. Once it is chaotic, errors will occur frequently. Even if they are not on the surface, they will be there secretly. It's like the Prometheus built by the police department. It's so fast. The project was started at the beginning of the year, started at the end of the year, and was completed in the second year. As soon as it showed up, it became a family member. It perfectly interprets what it means to make wedding clothes for others. .
The speed is fast enough, and it should be difficult to break this record in the short term. Whether it is a construction record or a record of "enemies", it is definitely unprecedented, if not unprecedented.
Chiba Cheng is sometimes curious. Could it be that no one found it strange during this process?
Humans have never built such an advanced space battleship. Shouldn’t we solve problems while building it?
You must know that the application of new technologies has always been accompanied by frequent problems. It is not even new to solve one or ten problems. Therefore, whenever the word 'new' is used, it will be a problem. Not 'fast'.
But Prometheus was so fast that it was a mess. The top brass of the police department were also veterans, so no one noticed that something was wrong?
Or are you blinded by the joy of success?
No big problem, create a myth.
This is the experience Chiba Makoto summed up from Prometheus, that is, if there is no problem, then there must be a bigger mine buried in it.
Therefore, when establishing the GW-R project, Chiba Makoto repeatedly requested that stability should be the priority and that he would rather build a few more verification machines than eat a fat man in one go. That would be easy without being exhausted. indigestion.
Instead of having various problems later, it is better to discover and solve them upfront.
I have to say that Chiba Makoto’s statement greatly boosted morale.
When it comes to work, no one wants to encounter someone who doesn’t understand, insists on getting involved, and puts forward exaggerated targets. If they can’t achieve them, it’s because they don’t work hard enough or hard enough. Business capabilities have not improved, regardless of other reasons, it seems that as long as you are serious enough and work hard enough, you can get rich.
A boss like Chiba Makoto doesn't rush to work every day, but he is also very considerate of his subordinates and pays more bonuses and benefits. He provides more funds and pays them quickly. Is there anything better than this?
Horii has never seen that after so many years of scientific research, he has done a lot of things well in one of them, but he is really good at them all, Chiba Makoto.
Of course, this is related to Chiba Makoto’s low pressure. Even if there is no result, the budget will not be cut off, at most it will be reduced, and it will not be like many projects, once there is no expected progress within the scheduled time As a result, funds will be reduced or even projects will be withdrawn immediately. The pressure is too high, so the pressure can only be distributed, which ultimately makes everyone feel self-conscious and work hard to avoid losing their jobs.
In response to Chiba Makoto's instructions, Dr. Yatsuo responded with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just a simple verification, nothing will go wrong."
Horii also said confidently : "Build a shell and install a few transmission devices, it couldn't be easier."
"Well, it's good that you have confidence."
Chiba Makoto could only say this. He had to slow down his pace just after he finished speaking. He couldn't be too conservative now. He changed it this morning, but Too bad. (End of this chapter)
