The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 134 Intelligence
Jiang Shiliu continued: "Sophons blocked our research on quantum computers, which brought a huge disaster to the next development of artificial intelligence.

"Just like the robots around me, they seem to be highly intelligent, but they can only complete some simple commands.

"Simple orders such as pouring a glass of water, patrolling, driving, attacking, and escorting, etc., but orders that are too complicated, such as conducting a raid or encounter, must be given to them continuously!"

Except for Jiang Yu, the rest of the entourage said to themselves, what orders are you giving?
Jiang Shiliu gave an example: "For another example, let them repair the TV, as long as it has relevant technical information, they can also repair it, but if a certain part of the TV is broken, they can't help it.

"They don't 'think' to buy parts, and they don't 'think' to make their own replacements.

"It's not that they are stupid, but an ordinary computer cannot give them complex solutions.

"Only when their 'brains' are substantially upgraded, can they 'think' of going out to buy accessories."

Speaking of this, Jiang Shiliu sighed: "You may not imagine that usually when we walk, drive, or even turn a screw, putting it on an intelligent robot is a huge amount of calculations and programs.

"There are also face recognition, making judgments, etc. Sometimes I really admire our brains.

"It took me a long time before the robot I made could dodge cars and complete some basic sports such as walking and playing basketball.

"But for the next research, the computer will not be strong enough. If I want the robot to complete more difficult operations, I may have to let him carry a computer that weighs tens of kilograms on his back!

"In that case, this computer alone will 'drain' the energy carried by the robot, and it may not be able to meet my requirements!"

Jiang Yu nodded: "So you came up with this idea?"

"Yes!" Jiang Shiliu whispered: "Since computers are not good enough, we can only use human brains."

Then he went to the first one and turned on a circular microphone on the wall: "Liu Li, let me introduce this J-3 dual-sensor robot!"

"Okay." Liu Li, the test pilot who was operating the robot to carry things, said, "When you see the equipment I'm wearing, you may feel that my movements are clumsy.

"Actually not. Before the device is turned on, it is indeed very cumbersome. After the device is turned on, the weight reduction process is done. My body can hardly feel any weight from the device.

"Everyone look!"

While speaking, Liu Li tried his best to jump. He only jumped up a short distance inside the instrument, but the robot's feet were four or five meters above the ground, which far exceeded the limit of human beings.

Liu Li continued to introduce: "The upper limit of movement of this system is set according to the robot.

"It can jump up to 4.7 meters from the ground, so I jumped with all my strength. Even though I can only jump about one meter at most, the robot on the opposite side can still jump nearly five meters!
"At the same time, strength and speed are the upper limit of the robot, not mine.

"Everyone, please see!"

The robot on the other side of the wall lifted a heavy object that measured three to four hundred kilograms!
Liu Li said with a smile: "The job of test pilot gives me the illusion of infinite strength.

"Of course, the best part of this system is not in these places with great force, but in some small movements.

"Everyone, please see!"

The robot picked up the needle and thread, and the picture on the screen on the wall was enlarged. The robot succeeded once and passed the thread into the pinhole.

Then the robot picked up a screwdriver and screwed a screw into the board in two or three strokes.

Finally the robot made it to a piano and started playing the piano.

What made Jiang Yu speechless was that he played "Main Title Theme-Westworld".

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "When I was in school, I had time and watched "Westworld".

"This music, paired with this picture, really fits the occasion."

A robot with a sense of technology, industry, and metal aesthetics meticulously plays the theme song of an artificial intelligence TV series.

Every movement of it is very free, shaking its body slightly with the rhythm, as if intoxicated in the ocean of music.

At the end of a piano piece, everyone applauded.

Liu Li introduced: "The level is limited, which makes everyone laugh. Please let Team Leader Jiang continue to introduce the other advantages of this system."

Jiang Shiliu took up the conversation: "As you have seen, intelligent robots need a huge amount of computing power to do the 'delicate work', but this robot can easily do it.

"It has two other advantages, one is that it can work flexibly under very dangerous conditions.

"For example, in space, the main force in building a space city is this J-3 robot.

"It can be exposed to space for a long time, it doesn't need oxygen, it doesn't need any life support system.

"The key is that it's very flexible and not bound by a spacesuit like an astronaut.

"And it is possible to 'take a break', after an astronaut works for a few hours, he can be replaced by other astronauts to operate the J-3 robot to continue working.

"Because of the technological breakthrough of the ultra-long wave signal, the system can achieve dual sensor signals within [-] kilometers without any delay in space with high radiation and signals that are easily interfered!"

Jiang Shiliu paused and said again: "The second advantage is: collaboration!

"Before I explained to you that because traditional computers have limited computing power, even a supercomputer can only maintain the division of labor and cooperation of three robots.

"Other robots can only be on standby, or just do simple jobs.

"And with human operation, it is possible to realize the mutual cooperation between more than a dozen robots under the condition that the astronauts fully communicate!"

Jiang Shiliu sighed: "This is our compromise in terms of artificial intelligence."

Jiang Yu stared at the moving robot on the opposite side for a while, then asked, "If there is a quantum computer, will the situation be much better?"

"Yes," Jiang Shiliu said, "A small quantum computer can make it more intelligent. I'm even confident that I can design a robot army that can fight independently!"

Jiang Yu nodded: "There will be opportunities in the future."

Then he ended the topic: "Let's go look at the mechanical exoskeleton project."

Jiang Shiliu nodded thoughtfully before leading everyone to a conference room.

After the multimedia equipment was started, Jiang Shiliu introduced: "Because we are designing an individual mechanical exoskeleton that will be used in space battles in the future.

"According to the requirements of PDC, the 'ground model' can never be designed, so there is only one exercise video, please enjoy it!"

A video began to play on the curtain, which first introduced the general structure of the exoskeleton system.

The whole system is divided into propulsion device, life support device, weapon device, protective device and physical attack device.

Then the screen turned, against the background of the black starry sky, the huge space station seemed to be the only support in this space.

An astronaut wearing a thick spacesuit is wearing a sci-fi humanoid mechanical device with the help of two assistants.
