Rebirth of a technological power - Chapter 264 Maintenance Robot

The seven-day tour has come to an end.

More than seventy years apart, the two sides have similarities, but they have also developed differences.

If we want to truly be united in one heart and one mind, I am afraid it will take decades of hard work.

This is because Chinese civilization has a strong ability to assimilate and integrate. Otherwise, other civilizations would not be able to do anything for a hundred or two hundred years.

After the trip, Cai Jin once again focused on his underground laboratory, while Nie Xiaoyu also began to prepare for having a child, gradually reducing his workload.

After this period of hard work, Cai Jin was basically satisfied with the Northeast Production Base, so he put the first phase of the project into production and continued the construction of the second phase.

Some people are just mean and need to be taught a lesson and suffer a lot before they realize that times have changed.

Underground laboratory.

Cai Jin is working on a maintenance robot. This robot is specially used for the maintenance and repair of aircraft in space. In this way, if there is any problem with the aircraft, astronauts will not need to go out to repair it.

Extravehicular maintenance may seem like nothing, but in fact, extravehicular missions have always been a key technology for manned spaceflight.

And because the space environment is too harsh, space extravehicular missions of various countries have frequently been blocked.

Even though the space station is now equipped with a flexible mechanical arm, which makes astronauts’ missions outside the spacecraft less dangerous than before, this is still in comparison.

The dangers of space extravehicular missions cannot be ignored. Not only do they have to face strong radiation and high temperature differences in the space environment, but they may also be hit by passing mechanical debris, space junk and micrometeors. The space suit is likely to be damaged under high-speed impacts. damaged.

In the space environment, once the spacesuit is damaged, it almost means death.

And if there is a maintenance robot that can perform maintenance and repairs on aircraft, it can greatly reduce the frequency of astronauts leaving the cabin, thereby reducing the dangers of astronauts in space and ensuring the safety of astronauts.

Whether it is the space station that China is currently expanding or the “large-scale strategic aerospace airborne platform” under construction, this kind of robot is needed.

He developed this robot and was commissioned by CNSA.

After all, in the field of robots, Future Technology Group is definitely the world’s leader.

“Finally the first product is finished!” Cai Jin looked at the assembled bionic robot. It was a human-like robot, but much shorter, only about one meter.

Cai Jin put his hand on the bionic robot, and a virtual panel appeared:

[Item: Entry-level space maintenance robot (incomplete)]

[Experience value: 1/10000]

[Optimization point: 2486.65]

When Cai Jin saw the word “incomplete”, his face turned dark.

This means that this robot has major flaws and cannot even be used normally, which poses a great risk.

“Repair!” Cai Jin muttered silently.

Huh~

With a flash of light, the bionic robot repaired the damaged part.

Subsequently, Cai Jin began to test the space maintenance robot.

As a space-specific bionic robot, the first thing is its flexibility. It can perform maintenance on various machines like a human. In addition to the system requiring strong knowledge of machine equipment, the robot needs to be flexible and as flexible as a human. Even more flexible than humans.

Secondly, you need to have various tools and use them automatically.

Furthermore, the limbs are magnetic and have the ability to fly. The limbs are magnetic. By controlling the magnetism, the robot can move freely on the aircraft instead of falling out of the aircraft all at once, so that the aircraft can be stably repaired. As for the flight ability, it is equipped with a small engine, which provides thrust. Even if the aircraft falls accidentally, the thrust can be adjusted to fly towards the aircraft and return to the aircraft.

According to Cai Jin’s understanding, in fact, if astronauts wear mechas, let alone strong radiation, even if they fall out of the aircraft, they can easily return to the aircraft, let alone maintenance.

It’s a pity that a mecha of this level is too expensive. Even based on the cost price, a mecha costs one billion yuan. CNSA probably won’t purchase it no matter how tempted it is.

The maintenance robot he is building now costs about 500,000 RMB. If he makes a little profit, the purchase price can be 1 million RMB.

Cai Jin conducted a series of tests on the bionic robot, upgraded it several times in succession, and mastered the technology of maintenance robots at all levels.

Half a month later, Cai Jin built two maintenance robots, and then the two maintenance robots set off for space with the ‘Chang’e 4’ space shuttle, and then were delivered to the ‘Tiangong Space Station’, where they unfolded A series of tests.

In space, there is a large space station about 400 kilometers above the ground.

Originally, the orbit here was the International Space Station.

Since the International Space Station was decommissioned, the Tiangong Space Station has replaced the International Space Station and become the only orbiting space station in space.

The current Tiangong Space Station has three core modules and six experimental modules. Each module is 20 tons in size and can allow 9 astronauts to work and live for a long time. During the crew rotation, up to 18 people can be accommodated.

In the next year, the Tiangong Space Station will add two more core modules and four experimental modules, increasing the number of crew members from 9 to 15.

At this time, the ‘Chang’e 4’ space shuttle is docking with the ‘Tiangong Space Station’. This time, the ‘Chang’e 4’ space shuttle will replenish the ‘Tiangong Space Station’, recycle domestic waste, and carry three Astronauts man the space station.

Although the “Chang’e” space shuttle has a high cost and the purchase price is much higher than that of the Shenzhou spacecraft, it has strong advantages in terms of use and maintenance costs. So far, China’s aerospace industry has changed from Shenzhou spacecraft to space shuttle. The main purpose is to use the spacecraft as an experimental exploration.

“The maintenance robot leaves the cabin!” the commander issued the order on the Chang’e-4 space shuttle.

Subsequently, the mechanical arm binding the maintenance robot was released, and the two maintenance robots exited the cabin.

As soon as they exited the cabin, without passing through the passage, the maintenance robot’s engine sprayed out blue arc light and flew towards the Tiangong Space Station, and then landed steadily in a cabin section.

When the ground command center saw this scene, they couldn’t help but applaud.

This first step was a complete success.

Subsequently, under the control of the astronauts, the maintenance robot began to walk, moving steadily on the surface of the space station.

Data appears on the big screen. These data are constantly changing, but the maintenance robot is automatically adjusting according to the space conditions to reach the optimal level.

Cai Jin came up with this maintenance robot, but no matter how he tested it, it was still a little unsatisfactory on earth, so he created a data model so that the maintenance robot could automatically adjust to achieve the best state.

Through a series of tests, the maintenance robot demonstrated powerful performance.

Some of the slightly loose bolts were retightened.

If astronauts carry out extravehicular operations, not to mention the danger, one time can only last up to two hours, and the work efficiency is not high.

But maintenance robots can work for a long time. As long as there are no problems with the robots, there is no need to rest.

In the future, astronauts will not need to go out of the vehicle except when necessary. They will not need to do mechanical work. Instead, they will need to learn to repair robots.

“It’s worth it, it’s so worth it. Not to mention one million for a robot, it’s worth even two million!” In the command center, Director Zhang’s face glowed red, and he only felt that these two robots were worth buying: “Future Technology Group is still powerful. To develop such an advanced robot so quickly, if we let the people below do it, I am afraid that even if we work on it for ten or eight years, we still won’t be able to produce such a robot.”

Today, he came to the command center in person to take a look at this test.

Nowadays, China’s aerospace funding is very sufficient, so much so that Zhang Bureau has great ambitions to make greater achievements in the aerospace field.

During his term of office, he will establish ten aerospace brigades, own ten space shuttles, and at the same time promote the construction of the Tiangong Space Station.

As for the giant space station, it cannot be built overnight. It will take ten years to build. That will be a matter for the next administration or even the next one.

Under his promotion, not only will the “Guanghan Palace” scientific research station be built, but also a manned landing on Mars will be carried out this year.

In the past year, China Aerospace has carried out an unmanned space shuttle to Mars, released a total of ten satellites including relay satellites, communication satellites, and reconnaissance satellites in the orbit of Mars, and entered the Martian atmosphere. Over Mars, it completed detailed surveys of Mars. Surveying and mapping form a complete and detailed topographic map of Mars.

Now, the locations for manned landing on Mars have all been scheduled.

Like the moon, China will also establish a scientific research station on Mars in the future as an outpost to prepare for the future development of Mars.

“It seems like we need to meet with Boss Cai to see if we can develop more robots specifically for space use!” Director Zhang thought to himself.

At this time, a scene appeared on the screen, which was the maintenance robot entering the Tiangong Space Station.

Now that the extravehicular activity test has been completed, the test of the intravehicular space station will be completed next.

After all, maintenance robots should not only be used for extravehicular maintenance, but also for in-cabin maintenance, thereby liberating astronauts and allowing astronauts to complete more scientific research work.

In addition to the original professional astronauts, the nine astronauts currently in the Tiangong Space Station also include university professors and researchers from scientific research institutions.

With the space shuttle, there are no such high requirements for the physical condition of the crew. As long as they are not sick or too old, they can take the space shuttle to the Tiangong Space Station to conduct scientific research.

This is of great help to the field of scientific research.

No matter how hard professional astronauts work, they will never be able to match the professional authority in this field.

This time the test was not live broadcast.

Too many aerospace activities have made aerospace no longer as popular as before, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

After all, there are about ten moon landings a year. Even if everyone is excited at the beginning, they will get tired. Unless there is a more milestone in aerospace, there won’t even be a live broadcast.

Moreover, many space missions are actually not suitable for live broadcast because they need to be kept confidential.

So this time, Cai Jin watched the test directly from the backstage.

Cai Jin is still very satisfied with the performance of these two maintenance robots.

Such a maintenance robot, let alone one million, if he had a dark heart and quoted 10 million, people would think it was very cheap.

“Master, Director Zhang is requesting a call!” At this moment, ‘Benben’ spoke up.

Cai Jin turned off the screen to avoid being seen by Zhang Ju. It was not good.

“Connected!” Cai Jin said.

Then, a screen appeared, it was Zhang Ju.

“Zhang Bureau.”

“Boss Cai.” Bureau Zhang smiled and said, “Boss Cai, when you are free, come to the capital, or I can go to your place and visit you.”

Cai Jin was suddenly curious. He didn’t know what important matter Zhang Ju had that he needed to talk to face to face.

“Zhang Ju, can’t we tell in the video?” Cai Jin said: “I am absolutely safe here.”

“How should I put it? We would like to ask Boss Cai to develop a few more robots and have a chat in person.” Director Zhang said: “Robots dedicated to space, as well as robots dedicated to the moon and Mars.”

Cai Jin reacted immediately.

“Well, in a week, I will go to the capital. Then I will go to your unit, how about it?” Cai Jin said.

To be honest, Cai Jin doesn’t care about the little money he can make from robots, because the amount of purchases is destined to be limited in a short time.

However, Cai Jin is still very happy to contribute to China’s aerospace industry.

Besides, this is also accumulating data. There will be great achievements in space, the moon, and Mars in the future.

With this data, various types of robots suitable for space, the moon, and Mars can be developed.

“Okay, then it’s settled. I’ll schedule the afternoon for next Wednesday and wait for the good news from Boss Cai.” After Zhang Bureau finished speaking, he ended the call.

Cai Jin no longer paid attention to the tests of the maintenance robot in the past two days. Anyway, he would have a copy of the final data of these tests.

It seems that CNSA has the highest authority, but in fact Cai Jin has the highest authority, and Cai Jin’s authority is higher than that of CNSA.

Cai Jin logged into the company system to see the current situation of the company.

Since the past two months, Future Technology Group has reduced its supply to the north and used more of its productivity in the civilian field. As a result, offline direct-sales stores that have been suffering from shortages are finally no longer out of stock for the first time. .

Then there are the sales of offline direct stores, which are rising sharply.

Many people do not shop online. They always want to see the real thing first, experience it, and then make a purchase when they are satisfied.

Especially the more expensive things are, the more so.

As for the future technology group’s products, even if they are just high-end children’s intelligent mechanical dogs, one costs 500 yuan. Other adult intelligent mechanical dogs, the cheapest ones cost 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. Ordinary people are always cautious when buying. Some.

On the contrary, it is an intermediate intelligent mechanical dog, which is not so cautious.

Those who can afford it don’t care about the 5 million!

The production, sales and other data of each type of product clearly appeared in front of Cai Jin’s eyes.

If you want to know more details, even which company produced each part of a robot, which employee assembled it, which inspector inspected it, etc., you can easily find out directly online.
