Chapter 76

On the dusty road, a convoy has just started. It's around 5 a.m. and the line of sight ahead is not very good.

The driver in charge of the team held the steering wheel in one hand and slowed down slightly. The other took the microphone hung next to the instrument panel and shouted to the whole staff:

"We are crossing the border. The visibility is poor. All staff are ready."

A red cross symbolizing peace hung in front of the driver's seat and swayed with the bumps of the vehicle.

The first few cars are off-road pickup trucks, and behind them are some big trucks.

The trunk of the truck was very quiet and was not disturbed by the outside wind.

"It looks very good. It has a strong sense of technology. I look forward to their performance."

A yellow haired middle-aged man in a green uniform and a blue hat put his hands behind him, looked at one side of the trunk and commented politely.

Around him, Liang Shicheng, the president of a technology company, wore the work permit of an ordinary employee and patiently began to explain,

"There was no mass-produced bipedal machine in the world before. Strictly speaking, we saw that smokers hold cigarette butts in a very different way. They hold the middle of the cigarette with their thumb and index finger, and the bright cigarette butts were just wrapped in the palm of their hands.

Seeing this, the Officer immediately understood his identity, then winked at his subordinates and shook his head, so that the soldier was no longer entangled.

"Do as he says, put out the cigarette and go back to the base. I'll give you a bottle of iced coke."

Liang Shicheng took the initiative to get around the scene. The dark Asian didn't speak, but obediently threw the smoke to the ground and stamped it out with his feet. Then he hugged his hands in front of him and went to sleep. At the moment, his work card was exposed with his name Zhou Ming. He was Liang Shicheng's bodyguard.

The conversation continued. In order to show sincerity, Liang Shicheng took the initiative to unpack one of them for the officers to watch further.

The officer bent down and examined it carefully. He found that although it was humanoid, it looked very bulky. Both arms and legs obviously made a circle than normal people. After thinking about it, the officer expressed his views on Liang Shicheng,

"It's true, but has your company designed such a model? If only we could be thinner and have fewer functions. "

Liang Shicheng patiently explained this proposal from the perspective of engineering,

"With current technology, robots are different from people. They are driven by motors and gears. They need enough space to accommodate necessary parts.

At present, the smaller the motor, the less power it can provide. Therefore, in order to use the motor with better performance, the human arm is too thin, and it is also necessary to enlarge it slightly on the basis of the human body. "

Hearing this, the bent officer turned his head, narrowed his eyes and said a question he had always had,

"As you say, in fact, machinery is not suitable for making human shapes, so why do you have to do so?

In fact, as long as tools can achieve their goals, our military actually wants smaller tanks and combat vehicles than this tall humanoid armor. "

The officer's question had just been raised, and the atmosphere in the trunk suddenly cooled down. Zhou Ming, who was dozing in the corner, woke up unconsciously, and then glanced at Liang Shicheng with his eyes.

Liang Shicheng was obviously not ready for this problem. He thought for a while and then explained:

"Because of path dependency!

All tools in the world are designed with reference to the human body, whether it is a grip or a chair.

Including the space size and height of military armored vehicles, which are just used for loading people.

As well as protective bunkers and trenches, people's height is taken as the standard.

This is also the purpose of our product design in human form. It is more convenient to use. There is no need to develop transportation vehicles and design protective equipment for them. "

This seems to be a very explanatory reason, but Liang Shicheng continued to add other reasons,

"Other considerations are data commonality. Our products are not only used for military purposes, but also intend to enter the service robot market.

In short, the functions provided by our products are all-round, replacing human labor in any scene.

Moreover, the human body is the result of careful selection by nature, which must be reasonable. "

The officer nodded and wandered around the narrow space in the trunk, announcing:

"Very good. After listening to your introduction, I'm more optimistic about you now.

Good luck.

If you can successfully complete the next task, our peace council will provide more orders to your company. "

At this time, there was an explosion outside the car, followed by a warning from the horn, "all on alert in case of armed attack."

When Zhou Ming heard the voice, he instinctively trembled and wanted to lie down, but he soon stood up and prepared to stand by.

"Can they be enabled now?" The officer frowned and looked at Liang Shicheng with a tight expression.

He got a decisive answer.

"Anytime!"

Then Liang Shicheng and Zhou Ming quickly opened the packaging bags and fixed locks of the machines, and then one machine armour stood up one by one at a very uniform speed.

They are a little taller than people, but they maintain a very stable posture and emit a gas field.

The recruit, who had originally disapproved, was shocked by this scene and involuntarily stepped back a few steps.

"Next, I'll leave everything to you." Liang Shicheng gave orders to the headset.

Then the mecha switched their posture and took a flexible step. The whole process was smooth and natural. This is the most advanced mechanical control technology of mankind.

As the first mecha stood at the back door of the trunk, skillfully squatted down first and then jumped out of the car, the officer and the soldier raised their hands and applauded at the same time.

But then, time seemed to freeze, and the other mecha remained in formation and remained motionless.

"What's going on! Zhou Ming, go down and have a look. "

"President Liang, it looks like he's broken."

PS, is this going to write mecha? No, no is not that simple.
