840 Neural Bridging Breakthrough (2/2)
For the application prospect of this mechanical substitute, he first through about construction of outer space!
No need for wearing a spacesuit, directly control the robot through the neural bridging technology and remote control the robot into space to complete dangerous and complex work.
Although the cost of robots would be much higher than that of spacesuits, it would be much safer and more efficient. The cost-effectiveness of using these robots in outer space would still be quite high!
Objects moving in the universe have high relative movement speeds that are hard to imagine.
Even if a piece of sesame-sized meteorite debris slashed on the space suit at a relative speed of several hundred Mach, the accident caused would be extremely severe. Only because human activity in space was still not very frequent today, this issue has not been exposed.
The solution at the apocalypse was to increase the strength of space suits so that typical meteorite fragments didn't feel like anything on the body. After all, the chance of encountering meteorite debris at few hundred Mach was not much higher than winning a lottery ticket. It would simply be unlucky if that did happen.
However, it was undeniable that the use of neural bridging technology through a remote connection method was indeed feasible. The robot controlled by the human brain; by using AI instead of sending people to outer space to perform dangerous and complex work that could not be completed would do wonders.
Another point was supply.
Until the space elevator is completed, the cost of sending an astronaut to the sky was not a small figure. A person needs to eat and drink, and can't live for too long in a gravity-free environment. The person must be changed every three months. Therefore, the more people in outer space, the greater amount of resources demanded from Celestial Trade.
Currently, without the space elevator, these people relied on rockets and landing capsules to go back and forth!
Affected by this, the number of astronauts who constructed the space elevator in outer space was very limited. Although intelligent engineering equipment assistance existed, many tasks still could not be done without humans. The progress of the project was slow.
However, if this thing could be used in outer space construction, the situation would be completely different. These robots could stay for as long as they wished in outer space, with only a solar charger, there would be no need for supplying missions.
Jiang Chen took off his helmet and he fixed his eyes on Amos, who was processing the data, and immediately asked.
”How long until you can have a finished product?”
”This is already a finished product, although it is only a first-generation product.” Amos picked up the robot and put it back on the stand next to the lab, and then patted its head with a smile, ”Continued working hours can be as long as 24 hours. Although there are many flaws, but there will be no problems using it.”
”What is the cost of this robot?”
Speaking of cost, Amos embarrassedly rubbed his messy hair.
”Ahem. After all, it is a first generation product, and it is purely hand-made... Well, if you don't consider the research and developement costs, probably about 5 million US Dollar.”
Jiang Chen silently made a note in his heart.
It would certainly not be possible to throw bare robots directly into space. In order to adapt to a specific working environment, specialized modifications would also be required. In so doing, a neural bridge robot that can build in space should be around 10-20 million USD.
A possibility!
After making up his mind, Jiang Chen said immediately.
”Designing a machine that can be used in space... What's the name of this machine?”
”X-1 robot.” Amos added.
”Mhmm, I hope you can design an X-A1 robot that can be used in space. Is there a way to do it?” Jiang Chen looked at Amos and said seriously.
”It's not difficult in theory, but what about communication in space?” Amos asked.
Upon hearing this question, Jiang Chen began to laugh.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
”Haha, my friend, you forgot. We have quantum satellites!”
Amos slapped his head and suddenly caught on.
”I almost forgot.”
”How long have you been inside? You should be able to go on the internet.” Jiang Chen mocked.
”For some time now, haha.” Amos smiled awkwardly and said with a timid voice, ”Going on the Internet ... The Group's database has more resources than the National Library. There is no need to go on the Internet.”
He was the kind of person that once he touches the experimental equipment, he would be in his own world.
But it was precisely because of his dedication to scientific research that he finally ”saw the landscape not seen by the giants”.
