Chapter 498 Epilogue
The reorganization of the Hefner Institute under the leadership of Fosun Group can be said to be the biggest thing after the war.Fosun Group became the operating entity of the Hefner Institute, and the original three research institutions were integrated to form four research institutions: basic theory, applied technology and technology, humanities and sociology laboratory, and advanced armed research institute Branches, including 4 large and small research institutions around the world, conduct research on more than [-] topics at the same time.

The Hefner Society, completely uninterested in politics, played a decisive role in the Great War, but ultimately gave up its dominance in political institutions altogether.With the cooperation of Lu Yuru and Ye Zengxian, the Moon Sea Federation quickly rectified the government agencies and restored the military equipment to its normal state.The Republic of Moya, a country ruled by the totalitarian Hefner for quite a long time, has really entered the period of democratic politics.Although there is a lot of disturbance, it seems that it is a bit chaotic, but the rising freedom and hope make most people in this country very satisfied.

In fact, if one is interested in politics, the Hefner Society can almost continue to hold the power of the entire Moya Republic, but they let it go very easily.Undoubtedly, An Lian, who has become one of the most authoritative people in the world, as a direct descendant of Mr. Hefner, organized a strong team to assist the newly formed interim government of the Moya Republic to deal with various remaining affairs. .The Hefner Society was not interested in anything but research institutions and technical materials.Most of the many assets left by the totalitarian Hefner in Moya over the years have been handed over to Moya's new government.

It's some kind of compensation, an apology.Most people in the Hefner Institute think so, but Lin Wenfang knows that An Lian is just being lazy.Now the organization of the Hefner Society is too complicated and bloated, not only on the ground, but even Yuanwangzhou has not hesitated to belong to the Hefner Society as a whole, re-approving the direct leadership of the society to Yuanwangzhou.The current Hefner Institute accounts for more than one-fifth of the global economic power, has a very systematic patent technology group in almost every field, and has members in the core institutions of almost every country, or agrees Collaborators in the ideas of the Hefner Society, they no longer need to directly rule a country.An Lian also has absolutely no interest in having anything to do with the queen, the female president and other positions.Compared with government agencies, academic institutions, and corporate organizations that have to deal with countless messy affairs, An Lian is much more familiar with it.

Although there will be various rebounds occasionally in various places, the general trend has been set, and in fact no one can make any big scenes.On the contrary, Yuanwangzhou has become addicted to airborne operations in the atmosphere. As long as there is any problem in any place, a spaceship with a mecha will break into the atmosphere within an hour.The orange-red flame rubbed between the spaceship and the atmosphere is a fatal spell for all those with evil intentions.

As for Lin Wenfang, he submitted his application for retirement almost immediately after the Battle of the Undersea City.He wanted to express his lack of interest in military power, and wanted to concentrate on making some breakthroughs in the technical field.However, as the most famous general, his application for retirement was not approved.The federal army promoted Lin Wenfang to Lieutenant General, appointed Tai Qingyuan as the new commander of the Mecha Division, and appointed Zhu Zhi as the commander of the Rapid Battle Group.Xu Fu returned to the General Staff Headquarters and was transferred at the same level as the Deputy Chief of General Staff.After several years of study and familiarity, Xu Fu will replace Xie Zhonglin and become No. 1 in the federal military.

Both Xie Zhonglin and Zhu Zheng made it clear that they would retire after handing over the work. Their energy is no longer enough to take care of the complicated work after the war.Moreover, most of them are daily management affairs. Both of them are warrior-type characters, and they are afraid of such things.

The federal military did not give Lin Wenfang a clear appointment. In fact, he had already taken into account that his attention had gradually moved away from the military field, so there was no need to make too much effort to save him.After the war is over, Lin Wenfang should have a long vacation.

However, Lin Wenfang didn't seem to be able to really rest.Although Tianyao Group has not been integrated into the management system of the Hefner Institute, it is not much different.

Lin Wenfang has the right to consult all institutions of the Hefner Institute and all confidential technical materials, and has the right to let any research institution cooperate with him, and can freely use the personnel and funds of the Hefner Institute.It can even mobilize any direct power of the Hefner Society to cooperate with itself in various experiments.Although there is no clear statement, the Hefner Institute regards Lin Wenfang as the chief scientific officer of the institute.In such a huge organization that aims at technology and the future, the chief scientific officer is second only to An Lian.

The research Lin Wenfang is conducting seems a bit boring to many people.He was actually building a whole set of airframes for Huo Yu.

This is not the battle suit customized for Huoyu before, but a body with more human characteristics.

The skeletal system borrows heavily from human bones, at least in terms of load-bearing and force-bearing characteristics.New artificial muscles already have a more accurate sense of touch.This artificial muscle tactile system, called the electric phase tactile simulation system, was developed based on the achievements of scientists in the previous society by Lin Wenfang.

At that time, experts who studied the artificial muscle system used an anisotropic silicon-based fiber tissue to add a pressure-sensitive material matrix, and judge the way and intensity of the touch by the intensity of the electric charge released during each movement.

Another huge drawback of this technology is the lifespan of pressure-sensitive materials.Pressure-sensitive materials, especially mature piezoelectric ceramics, have a lifespan of at best two to three months after they are embedded in fibrous tissue.Haptic systems are used so frequently that ordinary piezoelectric ceramics wear out quickly.

Lin Wenfang's idea is similar to the original technology, but uses a large number of small elastic elements to generate electric charges through pressure and friction.However, the electric charge is not directly directed to the sensing panel, but is introduced into the artificial fiber tissue and diffused in the tissue.Then, another set of signals is generated through the electric phase induction plate under the fibrous tissue.Although complicated, this technology basically solves the problem of the life of the tactile element. Moreover, since the tactile tissue and the bottom plate are two systems, different protection measures can be taken for each, and it can also be used in an environment with a large number of electromagnetic shocks.Although there will be some noise, but the data is still quite reliable.

After the birth of the electrical phase tactile simulation technology, combined with the existing chip, power and other technologies, a body that is extremely similar to the human body was manufactured bit by bit.Of course, it can only be an approximation.Haptic technology cannot be used on the entire surface area, only on the main part of the limb.The head and back are still hard shells mixed with polymer materials and ceramics.

There are very complete solutions for vision and hearing.Especially for vision, the two eyes not only have very strong dynamic and static vision, but also have functions such as low-light night vision and high-speed focus.The auditory solution is much weaker. Although the sound collection is also integrated with advanced technology, it can capture extremely weak sounds, and even capture ultrasound and infrasound at the same time, but a key problem is to selectively analyze specific information in the sound signal. The technology for doing the augmentation is not perfect.More still rely on collecting all the sounds, then analyze them, and rely on artificial intelligence to process and understand them.Lin Wenfang was very dissatisfied with this solution, because it meant considerable computational pressure on the system.

Including computing core, storage and other units can be fully installed in the body.The body built for Huoyu can be said to have concentrated all the most advanced intelligence, power and bionic technology.But the body does not have room to load too many batteries.

It seems that the whole body is no different from that of a young woman. If it is estimated according to the body shape, most people would guess that it weighs about 50 kilograms.In fact, the body weighs more than 75 kilograms, including a full 8 kilograms of battery pack.Even so, the body can only maintain full load operation for 2 hours and 27 minutes.The human body is too complicated a system. Everyone doesn't feel it when they live by themselves. Most of their actions are instincts, but for a body, everything is the result of calculations.After the fire feather is loaded into the airframe, most of the time it is dragging an autonomous battery trailer, swinging back and forth in the base.

The battery drained too fast, partly because Huo Yu was really excited.The accumulation and learning of tactile data, the continuous improvement of the action system, and the control of various subtle movements... rely on the delicate touch, not the pure power of the fire feather battle suit, each feeling is different.

Lin Wenfang said with some regret: "It seems that I didn't have time to perfect this thing."

Huo Yu said nonchalantly: "That's normal. Now this is the limit of technological development. If you didn't have these technical reserves a few months ago, you wouldn't even dare to imagine the results you have now. These are already It is a concentrated expression of long-term technological accumulation in all aspects, and it will take a long time to make breakthroughs.”

"That's right. The spiral technology development route has always been like this." Lin Wenfang sighed and asked, "You really decided to stay on the ground?"

Lin Wenfang asked this because of a new situation recently.The deep space explorers who set off from Yuanwangzhou many years ago sent back the first batch of data. Lin Wenfang's parents made jaw-dropping results in deep space observation and research on the cosmic background radiation.Since the distance is too far and there is a lack of reliable means of communication, even if they are re-connected, there is no way to form an instant contact.Limited data exchange is only possible intermittently.

Ahead, the deep space explorers temporarily stopped, preparing to establish an advance base in that area, trying to establish food and energy supplies in space, and establish a small ecological circle.

Not only that, after the end of the world war, the establishment of a base on the surface of Mars was also put on the agenda.The start is a space city that is bigger and more magnificent than Yuanwangzhou. Whether it is deep space or a Mars base, it needs a strong and decisive leader.And Lin Wenfang finally chose the deep space and chose to follow in the footsteps of his parents.

Having not seen her for many years, the image of her parents is not blurred in Lin Wenfang's mind.He can control his emotions, knowing that it is useless to miss something, and taking solid actions is the key.Thanks to technological breakthroughs such as energy shaping, the safety and speed of the new deep space exploration spacecraft have made great progress compared to before.Lin Wenfang's parents have traveled for many years, and the new spaceship will take less than a year to arrive.

However, Lin Wenfang's mission does not stop there.He will first take the deep space exploration fleet to stay in the asteroid belt, install engines on some asteroids, and fly into deep space with a large number of asteroids rich in various mineral deposits.This is a arduous project, and it will take more than a year to install and calculate the launch orbit.But this is also the most ambitious and ambitious scientific project in human history.Taking these resources into deep space is much more economical than launching all materials from the earth or Yuanwangzhou.That is to say, since the announcement of this plan, all human beings in the world have entered a certain kind of excitement, and various previous disputes seem to be dispensable, and governments of all countries are seeking active and effective strategies to clear up various previous contradictions.Compared with the big vision of the whole human being, some problems are really not that important.The Hefner Society did what they always wanted to do: send people into the stars, give humanity a bigger perspective.

However, after Lin Wenfang made his own choice, Huo Yu also made his own choice.Huoyu will stay on the ground, continue to improve the global intelligent network, and continue to promote projects such as intelligent bodies.And Evelyn also chose to stay and become the communication coordinator between Fire Feather and the rest of the world...

From the creation of Huo Yu to now, Lin Wenfang realized for the first time that as a self-aware individual, Huo Yu could not be separated from himself.

On this issue, Huo Yu's thoughts may not be so objective.At least, the basis for her decision is not very objective.In the final analysis, she felt that Lin Wenfang's journey was too boring.

Since the deep space exploration fleet will be in a state of silence for a long time, only the minimum number of personnel on duty will be kept, and most of them will be in a state of cryogenic dormancy. In fact, the entire fleet will be very, very quiet.Lin Wenfang, as the commander, will spend two-thirds of the time in sleep during the entire trip.In space, dormancy is an option that needs to be calculated. Since the voyage is far and long enough, everyone must try to save the most part of their life.

On the ground, Huoyu has all kinds of toys, and there are too many items that can be mixed, but in the fleet, although she will be an important part of the fleet, in fact, the fleet that spends most of its time doing physical work is not Such powerful artificial intelligence is needed.Considering the boringness of the journey, Huo Yu felt that it would be better for him to stay on the ground.With the advancement of technology, maybe after a few years, she can reunite with Lin Wenfang soon.Perhaps it was the manufacture of the body that made her have some incongruous thoughts, making her look forward to the reunion with Lin Wenfang many years later, which can surprise him.Who knows?
"You have already left me enough toys. Don't worry, I won't bring down Tianyao Group." Huo Yu's tone was brisk.parting?Indeed, this is an emotion that must be included in the calculation, but how can a faint, temporary parting be worth the joy of a far-reaching and limitless future?With the help of advanced medical technology and low-temperature hibernation, the normal lifespan of a person can be increased to 120 years. Adding the hibernation time, even 200 to 300 years may not be a big problem.People just have never tried such a long lifespan, psychologists sociologists are assessing possible problems, as for technology, it has been proven reliable.

With such a lifespan as the basis, and a technology system of all human beings who are developing vigorously and rushing to the space as the foundation, it is indeed not worth making everyone feel too sad in just a few years.

"Okay. It's up to you to study the body itself. I don't think I'll hear about your rule of the earth, right?" Lin Wenfang joked.

"Should. After the completion of the MARS system, it has taken over the internal coordination work of Fosun Group. There are so many low-value repetitive calculations. I am not interested in this kind of thing." Huo Yu said bluntly: "It is more useful to use calculations. where you taught me."

"Yes. You have learned well." Lin Wenfang stood up.He scanned the entire laboratory, the entire computer room.Evelyn is still sleeping in and God knows when she will come over.In the computer room were Lin Wenfang and Huo Yu.

"Goodbye." Lin Wenfang stretched out his hand.

Huo Yu froze for a moment.At that moment, her entire circuit seemed to vibrate.She reached out her hand, like a completely equal and real person, and shook hands with Lin Wenfang...Lin Wenfang's powerful palm produced a lot of tactile data.

he's gone.Huo Yu lowered the lighting in the computer room, as if to give himself a space to think and meditate more deeply.She was looking forward to, waiting... She knew that the story between them was not over yet.But now, staying here, she can look forward to more in the future.

Lin Wenfang was not disappointed or remorseful, but with overflowing pride, he took the shuttle alone to the lunar launch base, the most core building complex in Yuanwangzhou.

All kinds of documents and materials were input into the portable operation terminal prepared for him.While browsing the various information on the terminal, he calmly ordered: Atlas, I hope that everyone who reports to the fleet will have time to chat with me after the cabin is arranged.

Atlas is the core AI of the fleet, a technology derived from Fire Feather, an artificial intelligence with rudimentary self-awareness.Atlas that carries the whole world on its back... the name is really good.

"Understood." Atlas used a gentle male voice, which sounded in the passageway Lin Wenfang passed by. "The list of those who have already arrived at the post has been sent to the terminal."

Atlas likes to light up the sound instead of displaying lines of characters on everyone's terminal.This habit makes many people who have just reported to the fleet not used to it, especially those elite fighters and technicians from the armies of various countries.Although this scene has been realized, it is still a bit too sci-fi.

"Eh?" Lin Wenfang was surprised.There were names on the list that he hadn't thought of at all.

He rushed to the command room.

The list includes the following individuals:
Captain: Yue Yuyin

Military Commander: Zhu Zhi
Cultural and Psychological Controller: Vivienne
Deputy Chief: Ding Tian,

Chief of Guard: Huo Di
……

The list is long.

Apart from Yue Yuyin who made it clear from the beginning that she must be with her, there are many acquaintances.This fleet looks a little more interesting than expected... It seems that everyone will have some surprises.
