Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 150 Exoskeleton【Third watch】

   When it comes to business, this topic seems endless.

An Feng frequently looked at his mobile phone, shit, half of the good time with his wife wasted, after their discussion was almost done, An Feng said: "That's it, this time I asked you to come out to play, not to discuss business in a different environment! Are you worthy of the blue sea and blue sky around you?"

  They were stunned, hearing this statement for the first time.

  An Feng glanced at them and continued: "From now on, free activities! Whoever talks about business again will be a bastard!"

   This sentence is very effective, and everyone in the back really dare not go overboard easily... An Feng played some soothing music, drank beer together, and bragged...

  It was three or four o'clock, the sun was no longer so fierce, and the ladies on the front deck had had enough sun, put on their bikinis again, and went back to the back deck to chat.

  An Feng is sitting cross-legged on the sofa, fighting the landlord with Wang Le and Lin Hai.

  Joanna stood behind and looked at his neck for a while, then said softly, "May I make you some lunch?"

  An Feng nodded: "It's troublesome, dear."

   "It's okay." Joanna didn't leave after speaking. An Feng naturally understood what she meant, turned around and kissed her, and then left with a smile.

  Lin Xiaofei saw her face full of envy: "You guys are so loving, I want to find a husband like this too."

  Gao Jie gave her a white look: "You are so young, why do you think about this all day long? At least you have to wait until your brothers and sisters are old enough to think about it."

  Lin Xiaofei curled up on the sofa, picked up a magazine and flipped through it: "If I can find such a caring boyfriend, God can't stop me."

  Her parents expressed their helplessness.

   Instead, Lisa came over and poked An Feng with her finger, pointing to the motorboat at the stern: "Can you drive out?"

   "Oh, I almost forgot!" An Feng threw the key next to her to her, "Just play around, remember to untie the rope below and use some strength."

   "I want to go too!" Lin Xiaofei threw away the magazine.

  The two girls untied the rope, rode on the motorboat, started "booming", and soon were able to soar on the sea, chasing the waves, and their screams could be heard from time to time. There are other people around who are playing in motorboats. Seeing that there are all beauties here, they can't help but want to have a friendly match to show off their skills, so that some men who fight against the landlord want to ride out and have a good time. .

  Wang Le said to An Feng: "If you want to enjoy this, you really have a lot of tricks."

   "Thank you." An Feng stood up with a smile and stretched his waist, "Shall we dive while it's still early?"

"Let's go!" Everyone hit it off. The yacht is two or three meters above the waterline, which is more than enough for diving, and the sea water in the outer sea is not polluted, and it is a piece of blue. People can't help but want to plunge into it when they see it. It's comfortable Swim in the embrace of nature.

   After Joanna brought out the steak, everyone disappeared. They sat on the sofa and replenished themselves with some skin care products. The wet An Feng climbed up from the stern.

  She begged: "Hungry, feed me."

"Of order!" An Feng smiled and hugged Joanna, who was carrying the plate, and stepped on the stairs to the aft platform amidst her happy cheers. He sat on the high-grade teak floor and stretched his legs to In the sea water, she sat sideways on her lap, sharing the delicately grilled delicacies together.

Kiss from time to time, and then look at everyone playing on the sea, talking to each other about light topics, this hand is occasionally unruly, put it in some imaginative places, challenge her patience, and then Joanna Punishment... This life doesn't trade for anything.

  …

  In the evening they returned to San Rafael.

  Wang Le and Lisa stayed as guests, Lin Hai's family said goodbye, Lin Xiaofei wanted to stay and spend the night with his brothers and sisters, but in the end it was changed to the next time.

After a few days of excitement, they went to register An's Winery. Anfeng holds 60% of the shares, Wang Le and Lin Hai each hold 20%, with a capital of 6 million, no more, no less, tens of millions in RMB. To run a new winery, the funds are fully sufficient, and the management of sales is Lin Hai.

   Anyway, there is no other candidate besides him.

  After finishing these matters, Wang Le was busy dealing with the immigration bureau, while An Feng also waited for his own affairs.

   Robotics has a breakthrough.

  Colin Hoffman, a geek, is so fierce that he managed to produce a set of exoskeleton that An Feng wanted that is more in line with realistic standards in a short period of time.

   Of course, this is not difficult, nor beyond the existing technology. An Feng's arrangement was just to test the cooperation ability of the research team.

   It is reflected in this set of test items.

  If the development speed is fast, the cooperation is tacit, and Hoffman is satisfied, then the team will be finalized. And if there are frequent troubles during the cooperation and the personnel cannot cooperate, you have to consider reducing or reassigning personnel—everything is based on Hoffman's preferences, because he is the research director, and because he is the smartest and fastest, isn't it? Instead of looking for the best, pick the bad ones?

  An Feng flew to the robot company in San Jose by helicopter. After several rounds of job fairs hosted by John, the company currently has 30 technicians, and 10 other personnel, administrative secretaries, and finance. The number of people is small, and there is basically no need for full-time management, so An Feng did not recruit.

After the plane stopped, he walked towards Warehouse No. 1, which had been transformed into two laboratories. He spent a lot of money to buy a batch of machinery and equipment, and invested more than two million US dollars, which barely met Hoffman's requirements. He also passed These machines produced the exoskeleton An Feng requested.

Some parts are purchased from outside. Obviously Hoffman thinks that time should not be wasted on the existing parts, so he ordered a large number of them and assembled them into a set of exoskeletons with a weight of about 65 catties. In terms of standards, 50 catties is relatively advanced.

  Now the requirements are lower, 65 catties, quietly placed in the No. 1 laboratory, it looks like a huge Transformer, and it must be inconvenient to wear it.

  The exoskeleton required by An Feng is to feel the same when wearing it and not wearing it. It is always important to keep it as low as possible, preferably like wearing only a coat.

   But that's going to take a while to get there.

  Hoffman, who was wearing a dirty lab coat, saw An Feng and immediately walked over: "Mr. An, can you carry out the actual test now?"

   I used to say that Case and the others are not particular, and they like to get straight to the point, but now they don’t even have the small talk.

  An Feng nodded: "Okay, let me try."

  An Feng didn't take off his clothes either, and went into battle in casual clothes.

The technicians used mechanical tools or hands to slowly put An Feng on the exoskeleton. Since it was not a layer of armor, it was not as cool as Iron Man in the movie, and it was even ugly. With a lot of scrap iron on his body, he looked bloated and heavy. It took half an hour for six technicians to install it.

  Hoffman took a few steps back and said: "You can try to take a step, and the computer chip will receive the motion feedback from your muscles and make the exoskeleton respond."

  An Feng tried to take a step. It was very light, but it was a bit difficult to maintain his balance. He looked down at his feet, took the second step, landed firmly, and breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to take three or four steps, and at the same time, he was connected to a lot of data cables, recording data on the computer at the other end.

  Hoffman continued: "Try the body movements, bend down, stretch your hands..."

An Feng did all the movements that a normal person should have. He did it slowly. He didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that the feedback of the exoskeleton to the living body would not be sensitive enough... The result was good. As long as he had the idea of ​​stretching and bending his arms, The hydraulic system will drive the body and make movements.

  After practicing for 20 minutes, enter the challenge session.

  Hoffman said: "Lift the iron box on the ground, pay attention, it weighs fifty kilograms, and you can only use one hand."

An Feng wanted to nod, but he held back. An inadvertent little movement made the machine nod its head. This needs to be improved. Otherwise, in critical situations, such as shooting a gun, the computer would not pull the trigger. If the instruction is received and the action feedback is made, then it will be bad.

  The iron box was placed on the table in front of him. The difficulty of the first test was very low. If it was placed on the ground, he would have to bend down, which would increase accidents.

   Lifting the box was not done by hand, but by a hook extended from the exoskeleton. Slowly hook the hook to the iron box, lift it hard, and lifted it up very easily. Fifty kilograms felt like more than ten kilograms to him. Of course, it is not easy for ordinary people to weigh more than ten kilograms.

There is the principle of mechanical transmission, that is, the combination of hydraulic system and electric power. This technology is actually around us, like the steering wheel of a car, the typical hydraulic power steering, especially when some women are driving, they do not have enough strength to turn. If there is a power assist system, they can control this clumsy steering wheel with very little force and easily drive a car.

  The principle is basically the same, but the hydraulic system used on the exoskeleton will be more complicated, especially after miniaturization, like the current sixty kilograms? Don't even think about it! An Feng allowed up to fifteen catties, and he couldn't be as bloated as he is now. He asked that even if he was wearing an exoskeleton, he could also wear a suit.

   It’s not just about improving the load-bearing capacity, but about simultaneously improving dexterity, speed, and responsiveness, so that you can immediately become “superman” when you put on an exoskeleton.

  The requirements here are too high, and there is still a long way to go. In An Feng's robot plan, such a lightweight exoskeleton is only the first step.

  It takes a long, long way to develop the human body from the exoskeleton and let the machine replace it, or perfect the exoskeleton armor. This is why Anfeng wanted to do it at the beginning, but struggled with insufficient funds. Even if the direction and theory are correct, R&D still costs money.

   Fortunately, there is a genius like Hoffman, who was born for An Feng's robot project.

Afterwards, I discussed with him about the R&D team. When we didn’t talk about professionalism, this guy stuttered again. It sounded like he was dissatisfied with some people, but he was embarrassed to say it outright. It was a simple matter of a few words. An Feng struggled with him for ten minutes to find out clearly.

After that, An Feng made a decision to transfer the employees who couldn't get along with Hoffman to another R&D group—the robot company is not only developing exoskeletons, but also some small machines. An Feng is also thinking about selling cute robot dogs. So staff are basically not enough.

  The remaining researchers have satisfied Hoffman, so that he can start at full speed.

  An Feng handed Hoffman the second set of exoskeleton drawings, this time will be advanced technology. Its weight is greatly reduced, and it is also more exquisite. The exoskeleton is close to the body and is no longer bloated. Anfeng's plan is to design the upper limbs first, then the lower limbs, and finally combine them, and then further streamline them.

   Finally, the personal exoskeleton is available.
