  …

  The political reception ended successfully.

An Feng feels that it is nothing more than party members and their backstage supporters gathering together to brainstorm and plan strategies that are beneficial to everyone... From the perspective of ordinary people, this group of people can indeed dominate economic and political trends, and they belong to the civil society. The behind-the-scenes power of politicians who relish.

  In fact, to put it bluntly, the consortium is a circle of businessmen and politicians who work together to make more money, get more money, earn money and go back to live a good life, hoarding it for future generations...An Feng also joined and contributed his own strength. It's better to be surrounded by capable people than to go it alone, not to mention they are very strong.

   Now An Feng can be proud of his political connections. He knows congressmen, governors, and the pre-determined presidential candidate. It is definitely a force that cannot be ignored. Of course, it mainly depends on the introduction of partners, so starting today, they are all on the same boat.

  Then the days went on, and I didn’t feel any difference when I got to know the governor or a candidate. Isn’t it different to eat and drink every day, hugging a woman and being happy?

   A few days later.

  John came to inform that the robot company had completed the modification according to his requirements. There are two large factory buildings, a large piece of flat land in front, and an "H" is specially drawn. Don't think about it, this must be for An Feng's helicopter to dock. The San Jose area is quite far from San Rafael, nearly a hundred kilometers away.

  But... An Feng encountered trouble again.

  Who should manage it?

  In the past, he didn't have to worry about running a business, either he already had a manager or a shareholder recommendation, but now he started it entirely by himself, with a single-digit manpower—that is, construction workers who come to work these days. But seriously, he is currently at zero manpower because the workers leave when they finish their work.

   "This won't work." An Feng scratched his head, trying to call John when he couldn't think of a way.

  John said that he can accept the current facts. He has an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, and then specializes in doing some simple but troublesome errands.

  An Feng's requirements are very simple. It is naturally best to be good at business management, but the premise is that he is familiar with robots. Strictly speaking, he is not a recruiting supervisor, but a technical expert. Although the company has a lot of funds, the scale is not large, and most of the employees are technicians.

  While waiting, An Feng was thinking about what the robot company should do in the first step?

   Getting started is also a challenge.

It is absolutely unrealistic to manufacture a powerful, shocking, and highly intelligent machine immediately. First, there are no materials, and then there are no chips that are advanced enough, and there is no basic theory... So go around the origin and let the employees start from the basics, some simple ones machine parts.

   In addition to the widget idea, he ended up planning an exoskeleton set.

   is an exoskeleton without armor. If it is an exoskeleton armor, it is generally used in the field of military applications, and the production process is very complicated and the cost is high. The exoskeleton is simple. It may be called an exoskeleton with a cane. It is nothing more than using a more complicated hydraulic system to work. .

  There are companies in the United States that specialize in exoskeletons in the military field, such as SarcosXOS2. For civilian use, Australian universities are also developing exoskeletons for firefighters. In an emergency situation, firefighters will be able to carry up to 120 kilograms, which is equivalent to putting out their own lives to put out the fire.

If equipped with an exoskeleton, it can easily allow firefighters to carry a load of more than 200 catties. The exoskeleton can also assist and strengthen muscle movements. Firefighters can go up to the 20th floor without much effort. More trapped people can be rescued.

   An Feng's first goal was it.

Because the first step of a high-intelligence robot is an exoskeleton, it will take several years, or even more than ten years of development, to replace the human in the exoskeleton with a machine... So An Feng founded a robot company without making a fuss, which basically makes money. No money, and will operate in debt.

  …

  An Feng waited for a recruitment event, which is not strictly speaking, it should be him meeting with the recommended person, and then he will be in charge of the company's technology research and development.

   This guy's name is Colin Hoffman, and he was introduced by Etan Bassett, the battery group leader of GP.

  Bassett emphasized that he is a genius in robotics.

   An Feng stared at him for a while, genius? Thin body, wearing a pair of myopia glasses, messy hair, like a slovenly otaku. Being stared at by An Feng, he was at a loss, his eyes rolled around and his lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something silently.

But his resume looks very powerful. At the age of 25, he has two master's degrees, both of which are related to robotics. Looking at his previous study career, almost all of them were completed in a compressed manner. Others spent two years taking credits , he completed it in one year. If I'm right...he's a genius.

  An Feng put his resume under his hands and asked, "Do you like robots very much?"

Hoffman was stunned for a moment before recovering, nodded and stammered and said, "Yes, I, Mr. An, I have made many robots, the small ones include miniature robot mice and robot dogs; the medium-sized ones have multi-rotors with quadrocopter, and patents for cleaning robots…”

  An Feng smiled: "Relax, I don't value eloquence too much. As long as I have strength, it doesn't matter whether I can speak or not. What do you think?"

  Hoffman nodded: "I agree, I, sir."

  An Feng picked up a blueprint he brought and handed it to the table: "Take a look at this set of exoskeletons, and then talk about your point of view."

  Hoffman came to pick up the drawing, and when he saw it, he seemed to have been immobilized, staring at it without blinking, completely forgetting to sit back.

  An Feng didn't interrupt him either, and waited calmly.

   "It's missing some parts." Hoffman said abruptly.

"Please continue." An Feng nodded. He did deliberately omit some parts in this blueprint, but for someone who has just been in contact with it for a short time, it can be seen quickly, which shows that he is very specialized in this area. In other words, talent is also helping him digest these contents.

"The design is very ingenious, but something is missing in the elbow joints, leg joints and back. This should be a perfect work..." Hoffman pursed his lips, gesticulating on the paper with his fingers, "Perfect here One, plus a small hydraulic system, no, two!"

  An Feng nodded: "Continue to talk."

When it comes to professionalism, Hoffman speaks very fluently, and even found out the places that An Feng deliberately reduced. He even has some modification plans of his own. Although it is a bit different from what An Feng had in mind, he can do this step , An Feng admired from the bottom of his heart, this guy's talent is very good.

   Talked to this drawing for half an hour. Hoffman watched with grief as An Feng crumpled up the paper and threw it into the trash can.

  An Feng smiled and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Hoffman! You stand out from the competitors, and our company will hire you as a technical director!"

  An Feng even shook hands with the stupefied Hoffman, making a good show—if anyone knows that there is only one applicant for this recruitment.

  An Feng said: "I believe you will find it worth the money. The blueprint just now is just a basic introduction, and there will be more complicated machines waiting for you."

   "Really?" Hoffman came back to his senses.

  An Feng nodded: "Of course, we are not only pursuing portability, but also light weight and concealment. The drawings just now are only drafts and cannot be put on the table."

   "Thank you, Mr. An!" Hoffman said happily. He didn't know it until now, and he was delighted to think that Maxima was picked by Bole, and he was excited for a long time.

  An Feng didn't tell him this beautiful lie.

  …

Hoffman is really a genius. He knows almost everything about the history of research and development of robots or exoskeletons. From the last century to the present, he has memorized all the machines and eye-catching exoskeletons that have ever appeared in the world. Also summed up my own opinion.

"The most critical points at present are the design of materials, energy, control and biological shape. Materials, control methods and shapes have all made great progress, but the energy source has always been a problem, although the main driving method is hydraulic system , but it must be ensured that the energy provided to the central chip is sufficient, otherwise it will not be able to respond to the behavior of the organism, which is equivalent to losing the sensitive control of the exoskeleton..."

An Feng listened quietly to his views, and communicating with each other helped him figure out Hoffman's background. In fact, his brain is very easy to use and has a lot of room for imagination. An Feng occasionally mentioned some key knowledge points to him. The guy was stunned for a while, but later he used it reasonably.

  An Feng wondered if he could quickly understand the advanced knowledge by explaining it himself?

He did this on purpose later on, making things more and more difficult, and asking him frequently how much he understood. This guy frowned at first, but later, he listened to him recount An Feng's thoughts just now in an orderly manner, and then used his It was An Feng's turn to be surprised when he added some new concepts with his own point of view.

   "Very good!" An Feng nodded and applauded. If it wasn't for his cheating just now, he would probably be a scumbag in front of Hoffman, not worth mentioning.

  Hoffman wanted to continue asking him something, but it was getting late, and An Feng had to go back to pick up his wife from school, so they agreed to continue talking here tomorrow.

  On the night of returning home, An Feng called Bassett who recommended Hoffman. This guy was really shy, and actually recommended a genius to him.

After listening to An Feng's description, Bassett said with a smile: "His performance has always been amazing, and some views are even absurd. According to his classmates, the professor does not necessarily agree with these weird views. But there is one thing to pay attention to. , but his communication skills are not strong, and he is a little childish."

  An Feng froze for a moment, and asked, "Are you serious?"

Bassett said solemnly: "Yes, it can only be said that God requires everyone to be equal. When he worked in the last company, he specialized in research with advanced ideas. Even the research department didn't have that much budget for him... So, I implore Mr. An to be more tolerant towards him."

   Later, An Feng really understood a little bit.

He is indeed very strong in the professional field. An Feng once joked that he is an "elementary school teacher", but when facing Hoffman, he is about to become a "high school teacher", and students' questions occasionally make him stop and think , if he can't explain clearly, it will be difficult to get out.

In addition, this guy also regards the company office as his own home. After getting used to it, he stayed there and pondered the drawings An Feng gave him all night. Usually, when An Feng came to the office, he would find it messy and full of disposable items. Paper cups, smelly socks thrown on the table, and clothes that haven’t been washed for a few days. If you look carefully, you can find a "homeless man" curled up in a pile of waste paper in the corner.

Hoffman seldom speaks at ordinary times. If he talks about it, his mouth is full of academic vocabulary. If he talks about other things, such as life and family, he will be very dull and unable to hold a few words. You always need to pause Explain, and his reaction will be half a beat slower, making you feel dull, and when it comes to the end, you even have a strange feeling that you and him are not living in the same dimension...

   Moreover, his brain is too developed, and his thoughts are very complicated. Some ideas are wrong and some are correct. Without the guidance of others, it is difficult for him to follow his ideas all the way. That's why he got fired at other companies: he couldn't guarantee he was right later.

   But it is different now, An Feng can let him go on the right path.

  This guy, if placed in other companies, would be a scourge of exhausting budget and no results, but here in An Feng, he is a genius with the truth in his hands.

  He was born for An Feng's robot project.
