Chapter 407 Creepy [Can be optional]

Nanyi didn't ask Third Biopharmaceutical to send Galen's report to London, but he flew to Lijiapo himself.

On the plane, he flipped through articles and reports on artificial intelligence and robotics.

Although the word robot [Robot] was only coined by Karel Capek in 1921, humans have been committed to researching and creating automated machines as early as the fourth century BC.

Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1931, a full-length dystopian novel.

In "Brave New World", the world in 2532 is a world with highly developed science and technology. At that time, the world has no country, it is called the world country.

In this world, human beings no longer reproduce naturally, but use technology to cultivate embryos in test tubes. To keep the world-state in order, there are rulers and ruled, laborers and laborers.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the rule, so that those who are ruled will not resist, the proportion of the number of human beings that will appear will be distributed during the embryonic period, and the ideology of these people will be set in advance, so that these people will be born as soon as they are born. develop according to the predetermined plan.

These people are divided into five ranks, somewhat like a caste system.

These levels are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon from high to low, and each level has a plus or minus.

In these levels, Alpha, the highest level, is a natural ruler and intellectual, while those below Gamma are manual laborers, and Epsilon, the lowest level, does not even need human intelligence.

The process of using science and technology to limit human embryos is called "restriction".

In order to make the world have a large amount of labor force, when making Ganta, Delta and Epsilon grades, it is necessary to divide an egg cell multiple times to produce more twins with exactly the same personality;

These people are copied in large numbers as the main tool for social stability, and this process is surprisingly similar to the cloning technology currently being explored in the 1980s.

As for the test tube technology, Nanyi knows that it is already very advanced, and the success of the test tube goat was just reported last month.

The technology described by Aldous Huxley is highly developed, but in fact it has returned to the world of the slave society. Nan Yi is not interested, but he is very interested in his guesses about the development of technology.

Many of his conjectures have become reality, and many of them are developing according to the trajectory of his conjectures, especially in biology.

Nanyi thought that when he had free time, he would read "Brave New World" several times, then put the book aside and continue to read the materials.

During the ancient Greek period, Aristotle was one of the great thinkers who first thought of automation tools. At that time, Aristotle began to consider how these tools would affect the entire society.

In 400 BC, Architas designed the first automaton, Architas' pigeon, in Tarantum [ancient Rome, now the city of Italy].

It was a steam-powered autopilot, imitating the anatomy of a pigeon, built of wood, with a set of sealed boilers inside its belly for generating steam.

Therefore, the fact that the steam engine was invented by Watt must be questioned.

In 250 BC, Sibius created a water clock, an ingenious automaton capable of running on its own.

Since the 11th century, the research on automata has entered the era of "human form".

Ghazali created the segmented gear and is widely considered the father of robotics.

The Leonardo da Vinci who was painting didn't do his job properly, so he didn't draw well, but he went to study some helicopters. Fortunately, he just drew a sketch and returned to the right path of humanoid automata.

In 1495, the famous Italian artist and painter designed a knight with autonomous capabilities. It consists of a series of pulleys and gears that allow it to move its arms, jaw and even sit up.

During the period from the 16th to the 18th century, the development direction of humanoid automata was deviated, and it no longer explored the direction of "replacing humans as labor force", but turned to entertainment.

Although the inventions of this period were primarily intended for entertainment, robots were still quite ingeniously designed. And the many technologies used in it laid the foundation for more complex robot solutions later.

In the 19th century, the humanoid automata began to become a kind of mysterious creation with a strange nature, which fascinated and excited the melon-eating people all over the world.

A chess-like automaton was popular at the time, and there were several inventions of this kind, the most famous of which was Wolfgang von Kempelen's "Turkish Chess Puppet".

In 1854, the humanoid automaton began touring exhibitions.

Later, though, the Turkish Chess Puppet proved to be a hoax.

The humanoid automaton was slapped in the face, how could this work? One Wolfgang von Kempelen was knocked down, and tens of thousands of Wolfgang von Kempelen stood up.

In 1912, Leonardo Torres Quevedo created the "Chess Player", which is a real chess humanoid automaton. move.

At the same time, chess players are considered by some to be the pioneers of video games.

In 1928, Eric, Eagle Country's first robot, came out. The term humanoid automaton is outdated, and it will be called a robot in the future.

Eric's head and arms can move, and he can communicate via radio signals. Its movement system is controlled by a series of gears, ropes and pulleys, and it can emit sparks from its mouth.

Perhaps because one of Eric's inventors is a veteran, Eric's creation obviously has a military-oriented exploration.

The following year, in 1929, Japan's first robot, Gakutensoku, was unveiled, with a more elaborate internal control system that could change facial expressions and write Chinese characters.

In the 1940s, the first artificial neural network was officially born.

In 1943, Warren McCulloch and Pitts created a set of basic neural networks constructed from circuits to better understand how neurons function in the brain.

With the advent of artificial neural networks, their experiments paved the way for later autonomous robots with complex behavioral capabilities.

In the 1950s, another milestone in the history of robot development appeared.

Alan Turing, remember this person, you must remember this person, and he is also inseparable from the suffering of big data bombing in later generations.

It was he who proposed the concept of artificial intelligence. If you are enslaved by robots in the future, remember to find the right owner when whipping the corpse.

Also in the 1950s, the first industrial robot, Yumant, appeared, which could use a robotic arm to transport die-cast parts and weld them in place.

Remember George DeVore, who proposed Umant's patent. If you can't be a factory dog, spray him if you want.

In the 1960s, due to the appearance of Umant, robots began to spread rapidly in the industrial environment. General Motors soon installed Umant in its assembly plant in New Jersey. After using it, I found it very reliable. , I found an actuary to do the calculation.

"Haha, although this thing is expensive, it's much more cost-effective than raising workers. The most important thing is that this thing doesn't know how to resist. It's very obedient, so it can do whatever it wants."

As a result, GM introduced Umant in its own production plants.

In 1969, Victor Sherman invented the Stanford Arm, considered one of the first robots to be controlled by a computer.

Like Yumant, which operates with magnetic drums, the Stanford Arm represents a huge breakthrough.

When the time advances to the 1970s, it will be a big deal. The field of robotics can be said to be in full bloom. They are no longer satisfied with just staying in the factory and working. The world is so big, and they want to see it.

In the early 1970s, the world's first anthropomorphic robot WABOT-1 came out.

Wabot-1 is a follow-up to the 1967 Wabot project, created by Ichiro Kato of Waseda University in Tokyo. Wabot-1 has a set of visual and physical control systems, which can realize autonomous navigation, free movement, and even measure the distance between objects.

In 1973, the German company KUKA released the Famulus, the first industrial robot with 6 electromechanical drive axes.

The following year, Richard Horn developed the first industrial computer supported by a small computer - The Tomorrow Tool [The Tomorrow Tool], referred to as T3.

In 1978, Makino Yu, a professor at Yamanashi University, invented the selective follow-up assembly robot arm Scara.

As time progressed to the 1980s, robots had begun to be marketed, and various robot products had been put on the counter for sale.

Heathkit HERO 1, born in 1982, looks like a vacuum cleaner and is currently the most promising and popular programmable home robot.

It has a large number of built-in sensors in its head, which can perceive light, sound, motion and distance. Users can also choose a robotic arm and voice synthesizer, as well as a remote control to control actions.

RB Robot RB5X, born in 1983, the shape design of this robot completely imitates the R2-D2 in "Star Wars", with built-in advanced sensors, onboard batteries and mechanical arms, it can lift about 0.5 kg of weight, and achieve programming operation.

Androbot Topo, which was also born last year, already has a taste of aliens. Users can connect it to Apple II computers wirelessly, and remotely control its progress through computer commands.

However, apart from being able to move, this robot has no other functions, it is expensive, and the market response is not very good.

Last year, there was also a Hubotics Hubot, which was positioned as a robot servant, was launched on the market.

In fact, it is more like a kitchen multimedia terminal. Users can use it as a mobile kitchen TV. In addition, it also has the functions of Atari 2600 game console, AM/FM radio, printer, articulated arm, and smoke detection. devices, modems, remote controls, etc.

Similarly, the price of this thing is also very expensive, and it is not sought after by consumers.

At the beginning of this year, there was another robot on the market, Tomy Omnibot 2000. This robot is very cheap. It only sells for more than five hundred and less than six hundred dollars. Starman, the layout of the eyes is a bit similar].

Through training, it can realize the function of pouring wine, whether it is red wine, whiskey, or beer. The user needs to manually operate the pouring process through its body button, and record it on the disk. The next time it is used, it can realize automatic operation.

...

From memory transplantation to robot, this span seems a bit big, but Nanyi is very clear that memory transplantation may not be realized, even if it can be realized, it is a relatively distant thing for the moment.

It's impossible for him to keep throwing money into it and not see any output. Who knows how deep this bottomless pit is. What if Nan's funds are exhausted and there is no hope?

Memory transplantation can be studied slowly. If after listening to Galen's report, Nanyi feels that there is a real hope of realizing it, then he will pour money into it, and he will not hesitate to spend tens of billions.

But in the process of research, there must be some output, such as "neurons", by studying the human brain, building a robot brain with a certain amount of independent thinking, making the robot smarter and able to do more work.

Labor will become more and more expensive, and it is imperative for robots to replace most of the repetitive human positions.

Before the realization of high-intelligence robots, first vigorously advocate the spirit of dedication, let leeks 996 and 007 work to death, and the body will destroy them first, so that they will run to the hospital. And part of it can be recovered to achieve a virtuous circle of funds.

The earth's population is growing rapidly, and the food pressure is further increasing. High-population countries will definitely pay attention to the research of poultry and meat with high grain yield and high slaughter rate.

The earth's natural living environment, which has only evolved for hundreds of millions of years, has bred various species. It is no wonder that there will be no hidden dangers if artificially changing their growth and reproduction methods in a short period of time.

"Biopharmaceutical……"

Nanyi tapped on the table, his mind was spinning, thinking about whether he should take out the prescriptions in his mind in advance.

In his original idea, he planned to release it later. After all, the patent period is only 20 years, and he had to maximize the benefits as much as possible. The prescriptions he memorized were not for life-saving, and he would not feel guilty if he took them out later.

"Let's wait a little longer, start a production line for patent-expired medicines first, build a pharmaceutical factory in Huaguo, and put it down together with other pharmaceutical factories, and let it play with a prescription for expired cold medicine.

Six six six today, black and white tomorrow, reduce the drug content and stuff more cornstarch to become a special cold medicine for children. The money is easy to earn, pigs and sheep earn it, and my dog ​​naturally earns it.

Research and development, do a fart research and development, hundreds of millions and billions are real money, invest in real estate money to make money, isn't it fun to hire a few more women to have sex?

Only a fool would throw money into the water. Look, in three months, several more patents will expire. These are all good medicines. Hurry up and imitate them on the production line. "

When Nanyi’s thinking went astray, next door to the distant Yinjiao, a middle-aged man dedicated to opening a pharmaceutical factory opened his black notebook and wrote a line on it: “Know the preferences of each hospital director, Do what you like, inject your own medicine into it..."
