In 2014, virtual reality VR technology is no longer a new concept element, and there are already many related companies.
As early as March 25 this year, Zuckerberg announced that Facebook had acquired the two-year-old Oculus-VR company for US$2 billion.
Omnesium has already launched a VR head-mounted display product.
But they are all very useless, and most of them are gimmicks.
Virtual reality VR players all over the world have not realized that the best virtual reality VR experience is not in Oculus, nor in the Hololens that Microsoft will launch next year, but in the secret laboratory of Yuanjie Intelligent Control in Jianing City of the great Eastern country.
There is no doubt that the “omnidirectional motion platform” developed by Lu An’s team is definitely the dream of all VR players.
This device can definitely be used to play VR games, and it also has the best virtual reality immersive experience in the world so far.
However, the “omnidirectional motion platform” developed by Lu An is not aimed at VR game players. The hardware of this equipment is very expensive and cannot be afforded by mass players.
Li Fengting asked: "How much does this equipment cost?"
Lu An replied: "It is about 280,000 to 330,000 yuan. It mainly requires high-performance computers, which require a lot of computing power."
Hearing this, Li Fengting nodded to himself, and he turned to ask: "What is the approximate cost of the armed robot?"
Lu An replied: "The overall cost of the armed robot, calculated based on the current material cost, is about 650,000 to 800,000 yuan, and the price of the mass-produced model should be in the 700,000 yuan range."
When Li Fengting heard these figures, he couldn't help but said: "It's not cheap, but it's not as expensive as imagined."
Based on the price of an armed robot of 800,000 yuan per unit, the omnidirectional motion platform is 330,000 yuan per set.
Assuming that the military has established an armed robot army with a strength of about 50,000 people, the total procurement cost will be about 56.5 billion. Taking into account the logistics and maintenance support costs, the total cost should be about 100 billion.
This year's military expenditure has reached more than 800 billion yuan, and continues to grow at double digits.
An expenditure budget of 100 billion is needed, which is definitely an amount that the military can afford.
The most important thing is that no matter how expensive a robot is, it cannot compare with human warriors.
Moreover, it takes hundreds of thousands to train an army soldier, and the speed of robot replenishment depends on production efficiency.
As soon as they get off the production line, robots can immediately go to the front line. However, it takes at least seventeen or eight years for a person to become an adult, and then to be trained into a qualified warrior, it is almost over 20 years old.
In comparison, even scrapping 10 armed robots is more cost-effective than sacrificing one human soldier.
At this time, Lu An said: "The cost of using the host + handle to control the robot in the remote operation mode is much lower than that of the "omnidirectional motion platform". It costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
If the remote operation mode is used, the cost of installing an army-sized armed robot can be saved by 15 billion yuan.
Li Fengting was surprised: "Isn't that at least ten times cheaper than the omnidirectional motion platform of "human-machine collaboration mode"?"
Lu An nodded and said: "Yes, remote operation mode and human-machine collaboration The advantages and disadvantages of the mode were mentioned last time.
The biggest advantages of the remote operation mode are low cost and small footprint, but the disadvantage is that the battlefield situation awareness is not good, and it is difficult for soldiers to control armed robots.
The human-machine collaboration mode is just the opposite. It has the advantage of better battlefield situational awareness, and soldiers control armed robots without difficulty. However, the disadvantage is that it is expensive and takes up a lot of space.
After a while, Lu An ordered the people in the team to demonstrate a robot VS robot fight.
Li Fengting was also very interested. He also wanted to see with his own eyes the strength of this robot.
It took about six or seven minutes to prepare. Two operators, one used an "omnidirectional motion platform" to control the robot, and the other used remote operation to control the robot.
The internal staff of the team are not surprised by this, because similar fighting confrontations have been conducted many times to test the strength of the robot.
The space in the laboratory is very large, and there is already a large fighting arena.
At the end, two tall and powerful robots were awakened, and the two operators controlled their respective robots to enter the ring.
A robot covered in matte red color, numbered 0012. The team gave this robot the code name "Red Flame". The operator who controls it uses human-machine collaboration mode.
The robot standing opposite it is all dark silver and is numbered 0008. This machine is codenamed "Night Owl", and the operator who controls it uses remote operation mode.
Later, both operators said there was no problem.
"Three, two, one, start!"
As soon as the words fell, the [Night Owl] robot took the lead in attacking.
The pneumatic piston of its right leg screamed sharply, and a powerful and heavy skull-crushing kick was directed towards the face of the [Red Flame] robot. The metal legs of the [Night Owl] robot shot through the air with an impact force of 3.5 tons.
The impact of an adult's punch is only between 100 and 150 kilograms, with a full impact of 3.5 tons. If it hits a person, he will basically die on the spot.
At this time, the waist motor of the [Red Flame] robot rapidly rotated crazily and completed a rollover. The soles of the [Night Owl] robot scraped against its ear armor.
At this moment, the team member who operated the [Red Flame] robot suddenly said: "No, you killed it right from the beginning? Fortunately, I didn't use remote control, otherwise I might not have been able to react."
He jumped back and forth like a boxer on the omnidirectional motion platform, and the [Red Flame] robot on the field also almost synchronized his movements, jumping back and forth.
After a while, the [Night Owl] robot took the initiative to attack again. The team members controlling it entered operating instructions on the remote controller. When the [Night Owl] robot went up, it unleashed a set of silky military punches.
His opponent is also very tough and not timid at all.
The advantages and disadvantages of both sides gradually emerged in the fight. The remotely operated [Night Owl] robot can perform gorgeous continuous attacks, because the robot only needs to enter the command key to perform the corresponding attack method, and the moves are all standard.
The [Red Flame] robot in human-machine collaboration mode cannot perform combos, because the person operating it is not very good at fighting skills and can only throw out a set of king's eight punches without any rules. It is just reckless. The robot under human-machine synchronization can only become a reckless man like him.
However, the advantage of human-machine collaboration is that the response is faster, and the two sides actually fought back and forth, a bit like novices pecking each other, and they were evenly matched.
At this moment, two robots were fighting each other on the ring, with sparks flying from time to time, and the sound of metal colliding with each other. Li Fengting, who was observing the game for the first time outside the court, exclaimed: "It's really a fist to the flesh, no, it should be said to be a fist to the iron."
