Chapter 634 Do You Want to Build a Rocket?

Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

After getting off the car at the door, Lu Zhou went straight to the main building of the research institute, and arrived at the underground laboratory through the elevator and the alloy door.

However, the moment he stepped into the laboratory, he was taken aback by the situation inside.

I saw Transformers of various models and sizes almost filling half of the laboratory. Except for the lack of color sense, the hideous shell almost perfectly restored every detail in the movie.

And at this moment, right at his feet, the flat AGV logistics vehicle is still humming and humming, transporting aluminum alloy sheets, and sending the materials to the industrial robot wielding tools.

Looking at Xiao Ai who was having a great time waving the eight mechanical arms, Lu Zhou stood there dumbfounded for a long time, and finally couldn't help complaining.

"It's a shame to have you in the basement."

Hearing Lu Zhou's voice, the eight mechanical arms gave a sudden pause.

The drone floating next to it turned the camera around, swayed left and right, as if tilting its head to speak, and wafted out an electronically synthesized voice without cadence.

"Owner?"

Lu Zhou sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you, even changing the model is useless."

The industrial cameras on the eight mechanical arms looked at Lu Zhou, then at the aluminum alloy plate in his hand, and the speaker under the drone continued.

"I know, but the master doesn't play with me. If I don't find something to do, I don't know what to do."

The screen of the industrial robot terminal next to it flickered, and a string of bubbles popped up.

【(.﹏.)】

Lu Zhou: "..."

Is artificial intelligence so difficult to serve now?

After standing there thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said.

"You want to find something to do?"

Quickly throwing away the aluminum alloy plate in his hand, the eight mechanical arms nodded sharply.

"Hmm! I want to be the master's power!"

As if feeling that the undulating electronically synthesized voice could not reflect the handsomeness of this line, a string of bubbles floated out from the screen of the terminal computer.

【()】

Lu Zhou: "..."

Many times he felt that Xiao Ai standing in front of him was like a child who hadn't grown up. It's just that this child is not only too smart, but also has much better hands-on ability than ordinary children.

In fact, Lu Zhou had worried about similar problems before.

It may not be a good thing to rashly increase Xiao Ai's computing power.

If computing is the meaning of its existence, and improving computing power is its instinct of existence, then the obtained computing power is definitely not for idleness, but for use, or in other words - to play its value as a tool.

When checking Xiaoai's source code before, Lu Zhou didn't understand this deep meaning, but now he understands a little bit inexplicably.

The loneliness Xiaoai expressed was not just that he didn't play with it, but that he felt that he didn't play enough role.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

What kind of job should I arrange for it?

To be honest, this is a difficult question.

The inherent limitations of artificial intelligence in the field of fuzzy calculations prevent it from doing some creative work.

Most of the work that Lu Zhou was engaged in happened to be creative.

For example, Xiao Ai is perfectly capable of deriving a mathematical formula or complex mathematical operations. Even for the mathematical model developed by Lu Zhou, it can well convert it into a procedural language.

However, if the proposition is replaced by a proof of the Riemann conjecture, or a theoretical explanation of the quality gap problem, this is beyond the scope of its capabilities. Proving an abstract proposition in an exhaustive way is as difficult as transporting water into a reservoir with a plastic eyedropper.

At least for now, Lu Zhou can't think of anything worth entrusting it to do to squander its vigorous energy—or computing power.

"Master, shall we continue to reverse engineer Wreckage No. 3 today?"

"Um……"

Um?

His eyes fell on the Wreckage No. 3 in the corner of the laboratory, and then he glanced at the Transformers next to him. Lu Zhou's heart suddenly moved slightly, and he opened his mouth subconsciously.

"Xiao Ai."

The drone swayed from side to side.

"Um?"

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"Are you interested in building rockets?"

...

Although it is said to be a rocket, in fact what Lu Zhou wants to build is a reusable space shuttle.

After all, if you really plan to install fusion batteries and new Hall thrusters, it is not only unnecessary to use that kind of disposable design, but it is purely asking for trouble for yourself.

As for letting Xiaoai build this space shuttle...

Although this proposal sounds a bit unreliable, it is not completely fanciful.

At least in the world, unmanned rocket automatic assembly workshops still exist, such as Tanegashima in Asia. SpaceX on the other side of the Pacific is said to be working on unmanned assembly technology to reduce the production cost of Falcon 9.

In fact, when Lu Zhou saw the Bumblebee before, he had considered asking Xiao Ai to knock out a sports car for himself, but now he saw the wreckage No. 3 lying in the laboratory, and he was born. Let Xiao Ai The idea of ​​building a space shuttle.

After all, this guy is holding eight industrial robotic arms, and just relying on some conventional tools, he can process more than a dozen Transformers artificial intelligence.

If this is replaced by industrial robots in other factories, it is simply unimaginable...

Of course, although no one would spoil the machine like this.

In short, in terms of the use of tools, Xiaoai has brought the tools to the extreme. Cooperating with the retired supercomputer from STAR-1, it can maximize its computing power. It can even design a set of assembly process by itself, and improve itself through neural network learning in the actual production process.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but boast himself.

"I'm nothing short of a genius."

The drone floating next to it swayed from side to side.

"Owner?"

"It's nothing, I'll go back to the surface first."

"Don't you do the reverse of Wreckage No. 3?" An electronic voice with no ups and downs floated out from under the drone, followed by a disappointed expression popping up on the screen next to it.

"I'll be back in a while, I'll solve your work problems first," Lu Zhou said simply, then turned around and walked towards the alloy door, and walked quickly to the elevator after passing through the access control.

It is definitely not enough to rely on industrial robots alone. He also needs to add some other automated industrial equipment to complete the processing of some precision components. Moreover, a big guy like the space shuttle, which involves sensitive technology, certainly can't be built in the basement, or a factory must be built in a serious manner.

These problems sound troublesome, but they are actually easy to solve.

As long as it is the equipment that can be bought with money, just spend money to buy it...
