Chapter 440: Reasons for Resistance
Is it difficult to fit a robot with legs? No, it isn't. There is no difference between leg joints and arms. Monster Heavy Industries has been able to create a perfect mechanical arm, so naturally, it could also create a perfect mechanical leg. But looking at the world, all practical robots were driven by wheels and tracks. The problem lied in energy and balance.
Human beings could perfectly balance their bodies and climb mountains and ridges because they have the ability to learn and grow. From crawling in infancy, the human brain has become more and more coordinated with the limbs, and its grasp of balance is getting better and better.
Unlike machines, it had no learning ability. The gyroscope and the attitude sensor could only guarantee flat ground walking. If it was thrown into the wild, it would involve processing complex terrain data. It might encounter a pool of water, and the robot would have to analyze for a long time, whether this is a lake or a ditch.
But the difficult problems were born to be overcome by the genius and then achieve the reputation of genius. Without a heart that dared to challenge the impossible, how could technology advance?
"Go on, but its shell is too bad." Ye Qing patted the 1.9-meter tall robot: "It needs being sci-fi and mighty."
"Boss, did you forget to give me a certain gift?" Tianjin sniffed his nose: "I can smell the fragrance of diamonds."

The Sikong City is located on the West Bank of Hongze, with the Huai River winding through it. Since ancient times, it has been the main transportation route in the Central Plains and the place where goods from all sides gather.
In the early morning of the second day, a Buick commercial vehicle with a Shanghai license plate passed through the high toll station of the Sikong City and drove into the urban area around the historic landmark roundabout.
This white business Buick was a new batch of special vehicles for business trips purchased by Monster Heavy Factory. In the car sat a Master Craftsman and two employees from the company, Lu Feng and Xie Wenlin. Both were from the second batch of recruited employees, one is a native of Shanghai City and the other is from the north.
At the Sikong City at this time, in order to welcome the arrival of the three-year Crab Festival. Garden and sanitation workers could be seen everywhere on the roadside, pruning greening, and cleaning public facilities. The street lamps on both sides were also specially equipped with beautiful carp lanterns, giving the whole city a new look.
When the car arrived at the stadium, its door opened, and the two employees in thick suits trembled.
At this moment, Shanghai City couldn't have a such temperature degree. Why is it that after more than two hundred kilometers, the Sikong City directly felt below zero, and the roadside was frozen with an ice ball.
"Is it the first time you come to Sikong City?"
Tong Xuanqiang, deputy director of the Sikong Tourism Bureau, who was in charge of the reception, enthusiastically ran over to hold the hands of two employees: "Our Sikong City is close to Hongze Lake, and there are more than a dozen large and small rivers in Guangcheng. The air humidity is high, and it is really bad in winter. It's cold to the bone. It was colder the other day. It rained three degrees below zero and the wind of force 7 was blowing. The rain was the same as an arrow shot."
"It can rain even below zero?" Xie Wenlin was amazed: "When the temperature drops below zero, doesn't the rain turn into snow? In our hometown, we have never seen this kind of situation, so people have to be frozen."
"Haha~ It's normal for us to rain in sub-zero weather." Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang smiled: "A cotton coat was prepared in the studio. The two of you will come with me."
"Master Qiao, I will get you a cotton coat?" Xie Wenlin yelled respectfully toward the car.
Compared with the company, the Longxitan plant was the real core of the Monster Heavy Industry. The old staff had long heard of the name of Master Qiao.
"No, I'm in good health, and I'm only cold at minus ten degrees." A casually dressed and somewhat rickety master jumped out of the car.
Realizing this little old man was the master, Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang rushed over and shook his hand: "Hello, hello."
After some courtesy, the two employees who were sent by the Monster Heavy Company had wrapped their cotton-padded clothes tightly and followed the Master Craftsman and patrolled the stadium together.
Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang had also followed, using a rather funny language from time to time to give the working group sent by Monster Heavy Industry an introduce local customs.
The Sikong City Stadium had undergone three expansions and had now become a multi-functional venue for large-scale entertainment and cultural activities. Above the audience stage on all sides, there was a sky curtain. In the center, hundreds of workers were laying the stage.
The stage had just been paved with a plinth, and workers would be able to put up five of them in about four days. In the silhouette of this group of workers, a few big-bellied blue hats were mixed in.
They were wearing white overalls with blue helmets, and the SAX 3 D logo was printed on the brim of the uniforms. They were engineers from Germany who were responsible for installing the high-tech holographic transparent projection screen in this crab festival.
It was a pure transparent projection screen 6 meters high and 9 meters wide.
Did you watch the Hatsune Miku concert full of cut scenes?
The magical girl went from the second dimension to reality, relying on this technology. And the organizers of Hatsune concerts all over the world are also purchasing projection screens from their SAX 3 D company.
The cost of light to hold a holographic projection technology is three million. The bulk of this is mainly spent on screen transportation and installation fees.
The transparent projection screen is not a projection screen of a movie theater, but a piece of high-purity electronic glass.
The float glass is 6 meters high and 9 meters wide. There is a special interlayer inside the glass, which can automatically adjust the brightness and capture the image irradiated by the projector.
If you want to achieve three-dimensional reality, you must use 20 special projectors to generate special images processed by a computer, and then overlay these images on the glass to form a three-dimensional effect.
The 3D effect can be achieved with only two projectors in the promotional video of the wetland natural scenery shot by Sikong City. Of course, Sikong City spent much money renting their company's equipment, and he definitely wanted to save more money so he would only use two projectors.
In the promo, there is a virtual fairy. At night, the guests will be led by this fairy to soar freely over the wetland scenic spot. Therefore, the German company shipped the equipment by air eight days in advance and was installed and debugged by professional engineers.
It's just that these German engineers, standing at the location where the holographic projection screen will be installed, have a solemn expression, and are constantly discussing something. Twenty minutes later, these engineers shook their heads and asked the translator to take them to the person in charge.
Ding Yin was the general director of the event, and Tong Xuanqiang the deputy director of the Tourism Bureau was the person in charge of the event. At this moment, he had accompanied Master Qiao around for a while, at his return to the temporary office, he and Master Qiao were discussing the planning plan for the robot army to participate in the event venue service.
Compared with the holographic projection promos that had appeared many times, the army of robots that could be recorded was undoubtedly more important, more shocking, and more tested his ability to coordinate the event. Of course, Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang attached great importance to it.
"There are not many places to be remodeled. In addition to barrier-free passages, one more warehouse for storing robots and a battery replacement room will do." Master Qiao took out from his bag some pencils to make drawings. No rulers were needed. He could do it in seconds by drawing a sketch of the barrier-free passage that could be used directly as part drawings for processing.
The Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang and the others had their eyelids jump. They respected the worthy master. The skill of sketching alone could make many guys known how engineers should pierce the ground to hide.
When the Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang was about to say something nice, the wooden door of the temporary office was pushed open from the outside.
As the cold wind poured in, also bringing several ice-like faces.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Tong." Engineer Bernard was spreading out his hands: "The holographic projection equipment that you entrusted us to install, we are unable to install it for you due to irresistible reasons."
"What are you talking about?" The Deputy Director Tong Xuanqiang's head was about to stand up.
