Chapter 862 Pioneers
With a complicated expression, Bernard and his assistant left Jiang Chen's villa.
Madagascar had just gotten rid of the Arrow Company and then welcomed the Star Ring Trade. He didn't know what this meant, nor did he know whether it was a blessing or a curse for his motherland. All he could do was accept this.
Sanvini was assassinated quite suddenly, and the former party prime minister and president did not leave any useful information for him. The position of the vice president is like a mascot. If it weren't for the sudden death of the president, he would never have had the opportunity to take up this position.
The post-war recovery of Madagascar requires the help of the Future Group. Even if he is unwilling to continue to proliferate private armed forces at home, he can only compromise on this issue.
According to the agreement he reached with Jiang Chen, Future Ren Bank will provide the Madagascar government with a loan of S$2 billion. In addition to the minerals that Sanvini promised to Future Ren Group, Future Ren Mining will also have priority mining rights for its domestic minerals. In addition, Star Ring Trade will retain five military bases with a size of less than 200 people in Madagascar and be able to legally hire locals to join the foreign corps.
After boarding the plane back to Madagascar, Bernard pinched the corner of his eyebrows in pain.
He is now worried about how to convince the people in the country to acquiesce the Star Ring Trade to retain its military base in Madagascar. Fortunately, the Future People Group promised to lend a helping hand in public opinion propaganda. I think the trouble would not be too big.
On the ground floor of the Future People Building, in Amos' laboratory, under the leadership of the blond little loli, Jiang Chen met Dr. Amos who was testing a robot in the laboratory.
Amos was sitting on a chair, wearing a modified phantom helmet on his head, and opposite him was a "water tank" separated by a graphene partition, about 100 square meters. A robot with a structure that is no different from a human body floated in the water tank, and bubble strings ejected through joints surround a satellite floating in the center, doing various difficult movements.
When he met Amos last time, Jiang Chen asked him to develop a neural access robot specially used in the space environment to replace astronauts to enter the vacuum environment for dangerous operations. Unexpectedly, his progress was so fast that he took out the test work less than three months later.
The robot in the water tank looked over.
After realizing that Jiang Chen had arrived, the floating robot quickly stopped moving. In about two or three seconds, Amos, who was sitting on the chair, unblocked the nerve bridge with the robot and took off his helmet.
Putting his helmet aside, Amos reached out to rub his daughter's hair, letting her play with her first, then looked at Jiang Chen and grinned.
“How does it feel?”
"Very outstanding" Jiang Chen couldn't help but praise.
If these robots are available, the construction speed of space elevators will undoubtedly be much faster! People will be tired and need to solve the problem of eating, drinking, defecation, but the machine only needs to be charged. It is no exaggeration to place a floating charging pile next to the construction site in the outer space. It is no exaggeration to say that the construction speed will be more than doubled.
"In mass production, the unit price of each machine is between S$100.15 million, which is not much more expensive than space suits. With a little training, anyone will use this interesting tool." Amos said with a smile.
"Can I try it?" Jiang Chen looked at the robot in the water tank and asked eagerly.
"Of course." Amos got up from the chair and made a gesture to the helmet on the table.
Jiang Chen walked forward, picked up his helmet and put it on his head.
"The connection password is 1452. You only need to say "connection" or "sr" to start the password. Your retina will project the holographic operation interface. You only need to focus your eyes on the options and wait for the 3-second reading to complete, and then you can perform special functions."
After listening to Dr. Amos's instructions, Jiang Chen adjusted his comfortable sitting position, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice.
"connect!"
Just like when the Phantom Helmet is activated, it is just not connected to the virtual reality network, but switches to the robot's sight. Jiang Chen looked at the robot's arm through the electronic eyes, then looked around, feeling uncontrollable and excited.
Through the holographic interface in the field of vision, Jiang Chen can see his body's heart rate, as well as the secretion of hormones such as insulin, adrenal glands, antiurea, etc., to determine whether his body was hungry, urgent and other physiological conditions.
The button in the upper right corner is an option to turn off the power. After locking your eyes on it for 3 seconds, you can get out of this neural bridge mode. Compared to the fact that you had to unbridge with the help of others, this design is undoubtedly much more humane.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and was about to ask "How to control the vent holes at the joints", but no sound was made.
Instead, all the things you want to say are read into words and sent to the computer outside the water tank.
"This is one of the difficulties of neural bridging technology." Amos spread his hands helplessly and explained to Jiang Chen, "It's like I can put a pair of wings behind you, but if you can't understand how to use these wings, it can only be used as an ornament and cannot play its original role."
"What does this mean?" Jiang Chen fluttered in the water tank, and tried his best to repair a vent hole in his joints, but he could not drive it to emit airflow.
"Literally," Amos sighed, "the core of controlling this mechanical body is still your brain. But the parts that do not exist in your original body, and it is impossible to understand the current situation without a certain amount of training."
Jiang Chen gave up trying and focused his attention on the exit option, ending the neural bridge state.
He took off the helmet on his head and put it aside, rubbed his slightly sore brain, and Jiang Chen asked Amos casually.
"Okay, I'll ask, how long did you use it to control this robot freely?"
"About two weeks? After all, my brain is a little better than ordinary people." Amos chuckled without any modesty and put his helmet away. "By the way, the first time using this device is not the burden on the brain. If you feel very tired now, I suggest you better go home and have a sleep."
After referring to Jiang Chen's opinion, this neural bridge robot used for space activities was eventually named "Bravemaker", and was produced by Future Human Resources Heavy Industry. At the same time, the Space Launch Center will distribute 100 people to the astronaut training center for training to be familiar with this epoch-making tool.
After returning to the office and arranged the work on production, Jiang Chen yawned and got off work early.
