    The custom within United Technologies is that whoever develops the product names it. The bottom line is that the name should not be too outrageous, especially if it contains special vocabulary.  Humans are animals with strong leaps of thinking, so they can always find loopholes in the rules. For example, the naming of the biological servant by the national treasure fully shows the wretchedness under his noble side. Half a year after its release, people close to him still learned about his true nature.  I thought he was very honest.

    Although the metal exoskeleton essentially has nothing to do with the mechas in comics and novels, the metal exoskeleton combat system launched by the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute and WLMs still uses macs as the official product name. This cannot help but make Li Zhuang lament the lack of culture.  Great power.

    "Where did Qian Lin put the mecha?" Li Zhuang asked.

    ¡°Sunway Playground!¡± Li Meng spoke, while Arthur nodded desperately beside him.

    Li Zhuang was so shocked that he asked Li Meng to drive directly to the Sunway Amusement Park on the edge of Highway 1.  Of course he knew about this amusement park, a super-large science and technology theme park owned by the tourism group, which was filled with various high-tech toys made by researchers in their spare time.  This is a must-see for tourists from all over the world when visiting Wisconsin's many attractions.

    "Qian Lin, it's me, why did you put the mecha in the amusement park? How dare you put something as sensitive as a nuclear battery in the amusement park?" Li Zhuang called Qian Lin's mobile phone directly, with a stern tone.

    "Teacher, I'm not that stupid. We replaced the nuclear battery with a super battery and changed a lot of other things. It's very fun. You'll know when you come here." Qian Lin defended himself aggrievedly.

    "I'll be there in two hours and ten minutes. You wait for me at intersection No. 5." Li Zhuang softened his tone and made an appointment with him.

    Qian Lin hurriedly agreed. Ever since the large-scale mecha project team reached its later stages, it had been a worry for him. He finally found a solution and hoped that his teacher and leader would not stop it.

    Li Zhuang sat in the speeding car and meditated, recalling every bit of the large mecha in the past year, he couldn't help but sigh.  The distance between dreams and reality cannot become very small in this material world.

    The company¡¯s complete industrial system and the sufficient income of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute made the large-scale mechas in the comics quickly become a reality. The Robotics Research Institute worked together to develop a large-scale mecha with an animation-like design before Li Zhuang returned to China at the beginning of the year.  Qian Lin reported the good news to Li Zhuang, saying that the assembly was completed and asked him to go and take a look.

    Li Zhuang has watched very few anime. He didn¡¯t know which comic this big guy, known as ma21000 by the Robot Research Institute, imitated the appearance design of. He was a little surprised because of the size of the mecha.

    The ma21000 is about ten meters tall and weighs one hundred tons. A total of two units were manufactured.  The mecha code-named ma21000a uses a 20,000-horsepower compact gas turbine generator set that is still in the laboratory of WLP to drive the motor and hydraulic system. The actual output power is 7,000 horsepower, and the unit power is 70 horsepower/ton.  Its cost is about 2 million gold coupons, 1 million has been allocated by the financial system, and the rest has been raised by the project team from employees who like mechas.  Another one, code-named ma21000b, uses WLES's isotope battery combination power station, with an actual output power of 6,000 horsepower and a unit power of 60 horsepower/ton. This solution is not cheap. It cost 4 million gold coupons. The entire artificial intelligence research institute was attracted by the project team.  The employees were so annoyed that even Li Zhuang was forced by Qian Lin to donate 100,000 yuan.

    "It's easy to talk to acquaintances. If we were outside, I guess this project wouldn't be completed in four to five years."  The ma21000 uses a large amount of lightweight alloys, and the design of the joints takes the longest time.  Small robots can use bionic design, which is easy to implement and has a low failure rate.  Large robots cannot use this solution. Traditional hydraulic mechanical joints can be used, but the response speed is too slow. Electromagnetic joints respond quickly but have small torque. Even if the technology is developed to its limit, the extent of improvement is limited.  The large-scale mecha project team finally designed a composite joint, which is used to handle the knee joints that bear the greatest force and have the greatest range of motion.  The ankle joint is relatively easy to handle because the range of motion is small, and the company's technical reserves can handle it in the design of the cushioning system.

    The most fragile part of the human body corresponds to the same on the humanoid mecha.  Because the structure of the composite joint was too complex, failures occurred frequently. Researchers had to ask for help everywhere. Even experts from the Institute of Applied Physics who had research in this field were invited to provide advice. Finally, they managed to solve the problem. Five joint design solutions were used at the same time to solve the problem.  It solves many problems such as force, accuracy, response speed, lifespan and so on.

    The bench test was successful, the mecha stood up successfully, and the balance system was excellent, but the road test made it difficult for the researchers.  The assembly was carried out in the giant warehouse underground of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. The place was very strong and could withstand the pressure of the humanoid mecha's big feet, but no suitable place could be found outside.

    Qian Lin finally borrowed the weapon testing ground of WLMs. When the dismantled mecha was dragged to its destination, he was laughed at by the engineers at the testing ground. Not everyone was satisfied with this dissatisfaction.??Interested in actual stuff.

    During the time when Li Zhuang returned to China, Qian Lin and the project team staff worked at the weapons testing site for half a month.  Flight was taken into consideration when designing it. He persuaded him to take the turbofan engine from the WLPs laboratory and install it.  The large mecha has an external flight system and is very slow, barely able to fly. The shape of the mecha itself is not suitable for high-speed flight in the atmosphere.

    At the end of the matter, Qian Lin and other institute directors were fined half a year's salary and bonus by Wang Mei. The reason was all stated in the bill, which was many times over the budget.  It¡¯s okay to play, but now it¡¯s gone too far and is a serious waste of collective resources.

    Bionics design must first have an object to imitate. It cannot be copied mechanically. Metaphysics is not necessary. The material basis is different. The design needs to be changed accordingly. No structure is perfect.  The greatness of nature is fully demonstrated in the elimination of those creatures that cannot adapt to the earth's material and energy operating system.

    As the dean of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, although Li Zhuang rarely cares about the affairs of the institute, major events are basically planned.  ma21000 had been idle in the warehouse last week, and he asked Qian Lin to find a way to dispose of it.  This project cost a lot of money. According to Wang Meichu's calculations, nearly 7 million gold coupons were purchased internally.  If the traditional business model is used, the cost will be several times higher.  At the beginning, they did not anticipate the consequences of playing around. The employees of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute who were keen on large-scale mechas were now like a defeated rooster and had been dejected for a long time.

    Li Zhuang rarely does anything crazy. As long as it involves engineering, everything is implemented after repeated calculations. He will not waste time and money for dreams.  Qian Lin's character seriously affected his subsequent development. Although his emotional intelligence was very good, his character interfered with the improvement of scientific research capabilities.  After getting along with each other for so many years, although Li Zhuang is similar to him, he has always treated him as his own child, and his requirements are a bit more demanding. He hates that iron cannot become steel.

    "Zhuangtou, what are you thinking about? I think Qian Lin did nothing wrong. It's not cost-effective to keep the mecha in the warehouse." Chen Xiaojun said good things to Qian Lin from the side.  He was one of the first users of ma211. He got along very well with Qian Lin and did not want to see him scolded by Li Zhuang.

    "Haha, it's okay, I just thought of something else." Li Zhuang knew that Chen Xiaojun was careful and knew a lot about military equipment.

    Arthur asked Chen Xiaojun about the details of the mecha. Li Zhuang said nothing, but stared ahead.  The field of view is very wide, and the top of the head is a special panoramic skylight. This skylight is a technical reserve product of the Nano Glass Research Institute. While ensuring intensity, it can also adjust the amount of light transmission according to the intensity of the light, and has optical and infrared camouflage effects.

    The speed of the hybrid vehicle reaches 200 yards, but it runs very smoothly.  Li Zhuang's car is a truly high-end product, and he is essentially a car man.  It uses the company's current extreme equipment in the field of AI: 300,000 neurons integrated into the brain, automatic navigation is a piece of cake, and Li Meng, the driver, is just to deal with emergencies.  Graphene alloy armor plates, weapon systems, and micro-jet propulsion are all available, and it is one-third larger than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Pullman sedan.  Fortunately, the land here is sparsely populated and the roads are wide. In some countries, turning would be difficult.

    Advanced technology makes traveling easier. Li Zhuang is very punctual and the deviation is no more than two minutes. Qian Lin has just arrived and he knows Li Zhuang¡¯s habits.  The two exchanged a few words. Qian Lin took the lead, Li Meng activated the automatic follow system and began to pay attention to the road conditions, while Chen Xiaojun and Arthur increased their vigilance.  There are a lot of people here. Although the security system is complete, we cannot take it lightly. There will always be experts.

    There are still two kilometers away from the amusement park, and the front is crowded with people, and there is a rare traffic jam.  Chen Xiaojun called Qian Lin and asked him to change the route. After a lot of hard work, the two cars drove to the mecha experience area that Qian Lin mentioned.

    The huge LCD screen sign is very distinctive, with "Dream Weapon - Mecha Experience Zone" written in multiple languages. A modified large-scale mecha action video is played repeatedly on one side of the LCD screen. There is a test screen at the entrance.  During the operation period, I experienced the price list, and the mecha model made a cool move in the open space behind.

    A group of people walked into the control center of the mecha experience area. In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, they had an unobstructed view of the entire experience area.

    "This is the mecha you made last time? Why does it look completely different?" Li Zhuang was a little shocked. The two mechas on the field were more beautiful than before, even with weapon systems.

    Qian Lin smiled like a weasel trying to steal a chicken, "If you want to make money, of course you have to make it more beautiful. I asked experts from the styling center to modify the appearance and install an entertainment system. It's more fun than before. I believe those who are interested  Quite a few.¡±

    "How do you plan to charge? The ma21000a gas turbine consumes a lot of fuel every time it is started." Li Zhuang asked.

    "I am asking the research institute to calculate all costs. In the early stage, we will mainly focus on B-type mechas, but I believe many people will be interested in A-type mechas. The roar of gas turbines?More exciting than quiet battery operation.  The manager of the amusement park said that we can adopt a variety of charging methods, such as visiting the cockpit, driving experience, actual combat experience, etc.  "

    Everyone present felt that it was very feasible. This is a real mecha that integrates thousands of cutting-edge technologies from United Technologies Corporation.  No company has yet launched a similar amusement project. The first one to try it is very likely to make a lot of money. I think the movie version of "Transformers" could make a lot of money, let alone this live version of the real thing.

    "Pay attention to safety, and the control system should also be adjusted according to entertainment needs, especially the use of weapon systems. Let the amusement park build a dedicated shooting range as a practical experience area for mechas." Li Zhuang agreed to Qian Lin's arrangement. It is always better to recycle waste.  Rusting in the warehouse, these two big guys were built with money.

    "Okay, teacher, don't worry, I will definitely think it over carefully." Qian Lin's tone was like a waiter in the capital, making Li Zhuang angry and funny.  Except for occasional outbursts, Qian Lin still puts Li Zhuang at ease when doing things. He is deeply influenced by Li Zhuang and has a plan in doing things.

    The United Technologies Corporation Travel Group is advertising all over the world, and Qian Lin is also leading his men to modify the control software of the mecha.  Li Zhuang listened to the report twice and stopped caring until Zhou Qisen called from Japan.

    "Haha, we are famous. I am annoyed to death by reporters in Japan. They say that we are unkind and our fees are too expensive. Who came up with the good idea?"

    "Qian Lin, I thought it was a bad idea at the time. I didn't expect that there were so many mecha controllers. He told me that the number of visitors to Sunway Amusement Park increased by more than ten times, and the sales of souvenirs with mechas also soared. Some people even  I paid 50,000 gold coupons to buy the gas turbine version and played for a whole day."

    After hanging up Zhou Qisen¡¯s call, Li Zhuang asked the loudspeaker to open the Internet to see the reaction online.  Reports about the Sunway Playground Mecha appeared in the technology section of major portal websites, which is a kind of irony in itself.  Countless idlers discussed and discussed, and the debate was fierce.  Photos of ma21000 are everywhere on the Internet, and tourism groups have also posted mecha videos on their own portals.

    Many sober voices were defeated by the flexibility and reliability of the ma21000. People who countered their arguments came one after another. Even some people in the Australian military believed that large-scale mechas could be used.

    The higher the degree of technological perfection, the more likely it is to lead the trend. Although major countries do not take it seriously, ordinary people are very enthusiastic about it. This has led the amusement park to place an additional order for three units to the Robotics Research Institute.

    The large-scale mecha unexpectedly found its use, which also made the tourism group and the Robot Research Institute a lot of money. It was not until the Japanese similar products appeared two years later.

    Li Zhuang feels that being too serious about technology can sometimes become an obstacle to making money. However, if you want to really make a lot of money, you have to be serious, such as the products of the medical and health group.
