.

...So, the biggest difficulty in scientific experiments is unpredictable and unreplicable?"

Qin Yunqiang confirmed: "Yes! Before we conduct the experiment, we will first make theoretical inferences to confirm what effect this experiment may achieve.

But this inference is inference after all, and it is usually incomplete. In specific experiments, there will be some experimental steps that will obtain unexpected deviation results. It is impossible for everything to succeed in one go as expected by theoretical research. Many experiments are actually looking for ways to overcome deviations.

But people always make mistakes. It is very normal for a single operation to fail, which is a very normal way to fail the entire experiment.

Even if the experiment is successful, despite the complete experimental record, it is extremely difficult to repeat it. Many times, we may have succeeded inadvertently once in the first experiment, but then it takes several months and years to make breakthrough progress, making an accident inevitable.”

"Why is this happening? Didn't you say there is a complete record?" Xiao Qiang looked at him and asked humbly.

"Well, Mr. Xiao. It's like this: When we are experimenting, we will have a recorder to record every step of the experiment. The responsibility of the recorder is to break down the entire operation process of the tester into many steps, and record the experimental results and readings of each step truthfully, and then the repeated tests are as close as possible to the original test.

In addition, we will also push back based on the experimental results. Before success, what kind of experimental environment is the result that the experiment has such results.

We can try to use other experimental methods to create the same experimental environment and replace the previous experimental steps.

A mature technique is to test, find the components of success, use different methods to reproduce the components, replace some of the steps with optimization methods, and finally determine and complete them."

"You mean that the experimental record itself cannot completely reproduce the original experimental process?" Xiao Qiang absorbed his words and came to this conclusion.

Qin Yunqiang replied carefully: "It should be said that it is impossible to accurately reproduce the entire operation process of the first experiment. A little bit of a small difference may make the subsequent repetitive test impossible."

Xiao Qiang nodded and let him go. He asked Xiao Jin from the automation department again: "Will the failure rate of the automation assembly line be high?"

After asking one by one, the people present gradually understood what he was going to do.

Xiao Jin and Lu Youshan high-level engineer of this department discussed in a low voice and said to Xiao Qiang in embarrassment: "Mr. Xiao. The automation assembly line is different from the auxiliary laboratory. Strictly speaking, the accuracy of the assembly line is not as high as the test requirements. You also know that the automation assembly line is a precision equipment. Any precision equipment has a problem, that is, the main component elimination rate is very high. If there is a slight wear error, the relevant components need to be replaced, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the same accuracy.

The assembly line is easy to deal with, like during the production process of electronic products. With the help of high-precision measuring instruments, it only takes several hours to replace the parts.

But the laboratory is different. The laboratory automation assist device has almost strict accuracy requirements. Even if an error of microns occurs, it will directly affect the success of the test.

To this end, we must frequently check the wear and deformation of the main components. Once a few precision parts are deformed, we must replace the relevant components quickly.

In order to ensure accuracy, the time required for this replacement is likely to be one or two days, or even one week."

"Alloy components cannot be used to ensure a long maintenance-free time?" Xiao Qiang was unmoved and asked.

"We have used alloy manufacturing on the main components. To increase the use time, one is to use special alloys that are higher in strength, more resistant to high temperatures, and less likely to wear and deformation, unless, unless a large amount of special alloy is provided to us, otherwise..." Takashi Lu Youshan explained.

Xiao Jin whispered: "Then this automation assist device is at a sky-high price! Who can afford it!"

"I can afford it!" Xiao Qiang made the final decision. He explained his ideas and allowed the congregation members to judge and supplement his ideas from a professional perspective.

"This, can this work?" Qin Yunqiang, Yao Can and others were shocked when they heard his thoughts. Xiao Qiang's ideas were even further than their speculations, but theoretically, they were more helpful to scientific research.

But I don't know if it can be achieved.

Xiao Jin and Lu Gong were even more scared and their faces turned pale, and they kept complaining: "Mr. Xiao, you should spare us! Although you invest in such a laboratory regardless of cost, the project volume is too large! We work hard to complete a laboratory, it is difficult for us to modify all the laboratories. I am afraid that we will not be able to do it until we die of old age!"

Worker Lu reported a lot of difficulties in one breath: "A robot that works according to your imagination, different components and special alloys required are different. Some are to be wear-resistant, some are to corrosion, and some are to be guided.

It is lightweight..., there are too many requirements. These special alloys are enough to synthesize themselves, but they cost a lot of time and can't meet the entire production needs. Some are not available in China, and they have to buy them from abroad, and they may not even be able to buy them!

These problems have been solved, and there is also processing, and each component needs to be specially made! My God. Even if everything goes well, we can complete the design and installation of a robot in one year, even if God blesses it!

According to your plan, a special laboratory, depending on the function, about three to five robots must cooperate with each other... There is also a data collection device, and the testers must also conduct training, and there is an adaptation process...

This is simply scary!"

Austin began to hear Xiao Qiang's proposal. He was also happy and thought it was a good idea.

If there is such a laboratory, it will be of little help to the research of light and brain. But when Yao Can and others complained, they would calculate the company's investment in silence, which is likely to be astronomical. At that time, they said fiercely: "Boss! I firmly oppose the establishment of such a laboratory! Even if it can help us achieve research success faster, compared with the investment and maintenance funds, it will not be worth the cost! If all the laboratories are modified like this, we may invest all the profits within ten years! So, this is an unrealistic and commercial value idea. I voted against it!"

Lin Yi, who had been changing documents next to her, served everyone new tea and poured a cup of coffee for Austin. She also tactfully advised Xiao Qiang: "To build such a laboratory, I calculated that it would cost billions of dollars. Will it be too risky to do this? Because this is just one of your ideas, and when it is implemented in detail, you may face other difficulties. If it is not successful in the end, even we will not be able to bear the loss..."

Xiao Qiang looked at everyone's reaction and smiled faintly: "If we don't need to produce all the special alloys and other materials. We just need to make a sample of everything. This investment is not very big, right?"

"Don't we need to go out?"

The participants looked at each other suspiciously, and then suddenly realized: "Mr. Xiao. You mean..."

Xiao Qiang pointed his finger to the ceiling, but smiled without saying a word.

Austin thought: "So, this research project is also..., do they pay for it? If they report all the expenses, I will ignore anything."

Xiao Qiang smiled and shook his head and said, "It's just part of the accounting. Just like this laboratory, they will take on part of it, including specific manufacturing."

Austin lowered his head and thought for a while, and shook his head and said, "Although I don't object, I still have reservations. I don't understand technology very well, but I heard from several scientists that photon computers cannot achieve in the short term. Such a long-term project should be paid by the above, and it is not the risk that our commercial companies should bear. But if you insist, I don't want to say anything. I just want to say one thing, if the annual R&D expenditure of this project exceeds 10 million US dollars, I will use the rights of the general manager and the company's shareholders to reject the funding plan! Moreover, this project has been studied for five years. As the research time is extended, I will decrease year by year. Unless you come up with results, I am not going to use all the company's profits to fill this bottomless pit!"

With the frankness of the Westerners, he expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the project that it has never been successful.

Capitalists also look at long-term interests, but they need that kind of visible interests.

If any illusory bright future is slim, or if it is something that can only be realized in decades or hundreds of years, fools will invest money in it.

Anyway, after decades, various technologies have gradually matured. No matter what technology that seemed advanced but unrealistic in the past, it would naturally ripen the sweet potatoes. He did not agree with Xiao Qiang's so persistence and now he was creating a brain.

In his opinion, it is still important to focus on the "utopian plan".

The Utopian project encountered more difficulties and there were a lot of technical problems that needed to be solved. Moreover, this plan was related to the vital interests of all the people of Xiaoqiang Group, which were more important than anything else.

Of course, if Xiao Qiang creates a miracle and creates a brain around the world decades ahead of time, he will be extremely excited.

With light brains to help research, utopian plans have a greater possibility of becoming a reality.

The premise is that the brain can be created without staying on paper.

Because of Xiao Qiang's strong persistence and his statement that the expenditure will not be as high as expected, although everyone was skeptical, they reluctantly agreed to cooperate fully and limit it to two years. If there is no satisfactory results within two years, Austin and the Discipline Coordination Committee will significantly reduce the funds provided to the optical brain project team to maintain its basic research at most. Scientists in other departments will also return to their department and will no longer stay in the project team for a long time, resulting in waste of manpower.

After the meeting, Xiao Qiang asked Yao Can to convene all the personnel of the project team to hold a technical discussion meeting in the multi-function conference room.

At the meeting, he asked the project team members to sort out the required technologies for photon computers in detail. They discussed the research results over the past five years one by one, and what aspects can be directly used. Which technologies still need to be improved and which need to be further studied.

The discussion continued until night, and as the discussion deepened, the debate among scientific researchers became increasingly fierce.

Xiao Qiang and the project team members simply filled in their stomachs, and the meeting was late at night. It was only after three o'clock in the morning that it was considered a comprehensive understanding of the existing technical achievements, and a clear judgment on the next step of work.

The previous meeting was held for eleven days in a row, and Xiao Qiang was also in the project team and stayed for eleven days, hosting

The entire discussion process.

After the meeting here was finished, Xiao Qiang arranged the work in steps. Xiao Jin also handed over the opening letter of the automation laboratory. He turned to the automation department and participated in the laboratory reconstruction project.

The quotation of the required special alloy land made Xiao Qiang gasp.

If you follow this quotation, the cost of completing a laboratory robot is as high as millions. Every part, the required materials, and the difficulty of processing will require a large amount of money to invest.

Some of the special alloys and composite materials needed, but their international market price reaches tens of thousands of dollars. Such a super robot is indeed very expensive.

If it weren't for the help of reorganization, Xiao Qiang would have been intimidated.

When Xiao Qiang really started to develop the laboratory robot he asked for, he really felt the difficulty of its research and development. It was even more difficult than he thought.

The key is the accuracy of the robot.

Unlike humans, robots have vision and can accurately distinguish the shape, color, and texture of objects. They can judge their heat, expansion, etc. based on some subtle phenomena and make timely reflections.

All its actions are based on the program.

If you ask it to get a glass of water on the table, the robot will come to the table according to the program settings, then reach out and grab the water cup.

However, if you change the water cup to another place, if the robot does not have the ability to recognize independently, it will still be dull where the water cup "should" exist, extending its robotic arm and "holding the water cup".

In other words, all its actions depend on the original program setting and have no independent judgment ability.

Also, the robot's movements are usually very slow to ensure stability. Many times, people who watch it will make a simple movement for it, and they will spend a long time slowly and anxious.

In order to improve the robot's recognition ability, perceive touch ability, and autonomous judgment ability, Xiao Qiang and the researchers took a long time to think of various methods, and only after six months, they made a sample that roughly meets the basic requirements.

In order to ensure stability and reduce the processing time of adjusting its own posture, the laboratory robot can only still use guide rails to move back and forth on fixed lines.

There are dozens of processors in the robot's body, and three of them act as the main control processing of the brain, responsible for graphics, touch and movements.

Other chips are specially made microprocessors.

These microprocessors control various specific links including wrists, torso, steering, posture adjustment, and each performs its own duties.

When a robot determines its own posture, it relies on a micro gyroscope and a level-level precision measuring device. Through these instruments, the main control brain can accurately bend over, balance, turn and other actions.

The precision measuring instrument on the wrist allows the robot to accurately control the robot's actions, such as turning the bowl, pouring the bowl, pouring the body, and turning it up as close to humans as possible.

The laser positioning system allows the robot to move to the right position and adjust the position distance by controlling the pitch of its own body.

The logical judgment part is designed in a very delicate way, which is unique.

For example, give the robot a command to move to the test bench, pick up the measuring cup on the alcohol stove and pour it into another measuring cup.

After receiving the command, the robot will follow the guide rail to the test bench. The positioning system will stop at a suitable distance, and then the main controls the brain to fine-tune the body.

The specially made measuring cups, alcohol stoves and other experimental instruments have an electronic receiving device embedded in thermal insulation materials, allowing the robot to find the position of the measuring cup and accurately hold the measuring cup.

Its hands are lined with elastic composite materials, and a piezoelectric induction system is placed under the skin. By pre-entering the grip strength of different objects, the robot can hold it steadily without crushing it or deforming it.

In the process of reaching and closing hands, the motor drives it quickly so that it does not take a few minutes to move. However, in parts that require precise operation, such as grasping, controlling the angle of tipping, height, etc., the stepper motor controls its arms and slows down to ensure the smoothness of the entire process.

In this specially made laboratory, all instruments, even measuring cups, measuring tools, etc., have electronic devices that read data and transmit them to robots.

This laboratory, a robot that can make accurate movements is just one link, and all its actions are derived from the original movements of the testers.

When the tester is doing the test site, he also operates under the same environment.

However, he was wearing a special coat, which was filled with electronic sensing elements. Every move of the tester, the instruments he used and those steps he took were recorded truthfully and transferred to the supercomputer for storage.

The robot completely reproduces the actions of the testers based on the data transmitted to it by the central computer.

The time spent in each step, the small jitters and mistakes of the tester during operation, are reproduced without any mistakes.

In this way, the situation is closest to the reappearance of the situation at that time, and the entire action of the scientific researchers at that time was completely restored, ensuring that there is no deviation as much as possible.

Theoretically, such an experimental reproduction should achieve the same effect as the original laboratory.

After the efforts of all personnel, such a laboratory is actually not an ordinary laboratory, but is equivalent to a highly precise and super-large instrument.

Including robots, they are just a precision component of this instrument.

And all its functions are to reproduce the entire process of the tester, and reproduce without any deviation.

Xiao Qiang’s idea is that since many of the researchers’ achievements have been done due to various factors

Can it be completely guaranteed to be consistent with the initial experimental environment, so it cannot be guaranteed? He thought of a way to record all the operating links of the tester with an automatic instrument, and then drive the robot to reproduce the entire experimental step.

The data transmitted by various instruments in the laboratory ensures that the robot can be completely faithful to the initial test from the accuracy of processing, the intensity of force, the angle, etc.

The first robot is completed, which is equivalent to the robot that meets the requirements of the entire laboratory, and is completed.

Xiao Qiang wanted to leave the sample robot and personally took it to "hand it over to the top". A month later, he brought back five robots that met the requirements of a laboratory.

Then, an actual trial was conducted.

The researchers wore a specially made record coat and conducted a simple experiment in a special laboratory.

A few minutes later, the experimental robot reproduced its entire process, including his movements of tickling his butt while experimenting, causing all the engineers involved to burst into laughter.

The test results were satisfactory. In this small experiment, the robot completely reproduced the test and achieved exactly the same results.

Since then, the simulation test has gradually deepened, the complexity of the experiment has gradually increased, and the difficulty of the simulation of the robot has also increased.

In the subsequent deepening and strengthening experiments, the robot also made a lot of mistakes, mainly because of errors in reading data from various instruments. The robot's judgment is very rigid, and all conditions must be the same as the original test, otherwise it will refuse to be executed downward. The computer software department repeatedly pondered the problems and improved and optimized its program judgment. The priority levels of various data are also re-formulated as the basis for robot judgment.

It took another two or three months to debug, and the robot's movements became more and more perfect, and it was consistent with the original experiment.

After many tests, Xiao Jin and others finally announced that special tests can be put into use! This was a whole year and a half ahead of their original expectations!

The perfect performance of the robot makes everyone look forward to it.

As soon as the special laboratory was put into use, it immediately showed amazing results. After the members of the optical brain project team completed the experiment in this super-large laboratory, the controller selected two of the most perfect test records and entered the robot master program. The subsequent trial run made everyone ecstatic - one of the experiments was successful, and the experimental results obtained were exactly the same as the initial test! The results of the other set of experiments were only slightly different!

The testers, including the original testers, were far inferior to the robot's effect when repeating those two tests!

The main controller quickly retrieves the test personnel's test records and analyzes every step in the operation.

Since each operation step has a complete test data record, it took only two or three days to find the location where the subsequent test failed and immediately adjusted and improved.

In the past, there was only one successful test record, but now in the special laboratory, a chance can be turned into a certain inevitable at any time and thus reproduced!

The researchers tried to apply it to other aspects and immediately achieved ecstatic success.

For example, microelectronics operations allow researchers to create an electronic component that meets the requirements, but each component can maintain the same quality.

But now in special laboratories, this impossible becomes possible.

By calling the same successful operation program, the success rate suddenly jumped to 70 to 80%, which is unimaginable!

The success of special laboratories has alarmed other research departments of Universal Corporation.

Before each experiment, countless researchers came to observe, and looked at the operation of the experimental robot, and all the testers were amazed. When they saw its final operation results, almost every researcher who came to watch had a shimmering eyes.

The head of the optoelectronics department came, and the head of the computer department, including Xiao Jin from the automation department, also rubbed Xiao Qiang every day, hoping to equip them with such special laboratory.

This is so convenient!

Many repetitive operations can be completely handed over to the special laboratory for completion.

They are all looking forward to the future test personnel, their daily work, are to sit in the main control room, choose one successful test operation data record after another, and copy it to the robot's control system. The ones who were troubled by it in the past will perfectly reproduce the successful test, but now no one is worried about it.

With this treasure in hand, a Universal Company's research efficiency has suddenly increased by several times!

After analyzing these perfect experimental steps, data, and comparing failed experiments, researchers can quickly find the crux of the problem and put forward suggestions for improvement. The world's experimental process rushed to the fast lane and achieved success after success at an incredible speed!

What surprised Xiao Jin and others even more was that the expenses of forming a special laboratory under Xiao Qiang's turning stones into gold were only fifteen percent higher than the original laboratory!

Who doesn't want such a good thing?

Immediately, as soon as I saw the results of the special laboratory, all research departments sent snowflake-like applications to build the special laboratory.

The smile that once disappeared from the faces of members of the photon computer project team has also returned.

Faced with the perfect performance of the special laboratory, each project team member is full of confidence in success.
Chapter completed!
