Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

"You have to say that Venustech has been really competitive in recent years."

"Whether it is the Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter or the Eagle heavy transport helicopter, or the Skyhawk stealth drone and the Wuzhen-7 high-altitude reconnaissance drone, they are all world-leading products."

"In the second half of this year, I plan to set up an aerospace college in the school to integrate all the technical developments of Venustech."

Xiang Changle must seize such a good opportunity.

In the past, Lingnan University of Technology did not even have any aircraft-related majors.

But in just a few years, their related majors have become the top five in the country.

Now Xiang Changle hopes that the aerospace college of Lingnan University of Technology can lead other universities in the design of helicopters, drones, missiles, rockets, space stations and other products.

If this is really achieved, then the comprehensive strength of Lingnan University of Technology may be able to impact the TOP5.

Then Xiang Changle can definitely become a person who has made an indispensable contribution to the development history of Lingnan University of Technology.

"It is indeed possible to form a separate college. In the future, China will have a strong demand for aerospace-related talents."

"Now, as long as some students from Xi'an Jiaotong University can get their graduation certificates normally, we will accept them all at Venusstar Technology."

"The various talent training methods in China are still a bit behind our development rhythm."

Cao Yang has always had some opinions on the talent training methods of domestic universities.

But this kind of thing is not something he can easily change.

It is already a very difficult result to make Lingnan University of Technology and other universities in Guangzhou follow his own pace.

If you stretch your hand too far, you may be backfired.

However, for people majoring in aircraft design, the emergence of Venusstar Technology really gives them a great opportunity.

If there is no Venusstar Technology, it will be much more difficult for people in these majors to find jobs after graduation.

Even if they are lucky enough to enter companies like Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation or Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, the salary will not be particularly high.

It is not like now. As long as you graduate and enter Venusstar Technology, the minimum annual salary starts at more than 100,000 yuan.

This is only 2014.

Graduates of engineering majors, except for computer science, want to earn hundreds of thousands of yuan upon graduation.

Almost all people majoring in aircraft have been caught by Venusstar Technology, and even the employment rate of other related majors has greatly increased.

It can be said that Venusstar Technology has changed the development prospects of related majors in China in one fell swoop.

These changes will naturally affect the choices of high school students when filling out their applications.

"Yes, so I think it is necessary to hire technical experts from companies such as Venusstar Technology to teach college students so that more students can understand the needs of enterprises and the latest developments in the industry during their college education."

"Our school has been able to develop rapidly in recent years, and the contribution of Nanshan-based companies is indispensable."

Xiang Changle is also very clear, knowing that the rapid progress of Lingnan University of Technology is not mainly due to his own credit.

He is just lucky, or he made the right choice.

Domestic relevant departments have regarded Lingnan University of Technology as a demonstration project for higher education reform.

In the future, a group of universities may be further selected for promotion.

"Teacher, speaking of cooperation between the two sides, our group has cooperated with your School of Mechanical Engineering during this period and has really produced a brand new product."

"We will invite experts from relevant departments to hold a technical exhibition at that time."

"Will you come and take a look?"

Nanshan-affiliated companies now have many cooperative projects with Lingnan University of Technology.

Anyway, the other party wants fame, and Nanshan-affiliated companies pursue profit, so there is no essential contradiction between the two sides.

Even a lot of thesis writing work can be handed over to teachers and graduate students on the school side, and finally the experts on the Nanshan-affiliated companies can free up more time to do research.

This can be said to be an excellent example of industrial research.

"What kind of cooperation is it with the School of Mechanical Engineering?"

The major of mechanical engineering is the foundation of all industries.

Lingnan University of Technology's mechanical design and automation major is still quite good.

Whether it is with Venusstar Technology or Nanshan Automobile Group, there are many cooperative projects being developed together.

Xiang Changle was really a little unsure about what project Cao Yang was talking about.

"Robot dog!"

There is no need to beat around the bush about this kind of thing.

"Nanshan Robot has been deeply engaged in robot-related products in recent years. The robot dog is the first military product launched in line with the latest development needs."

"This robot dog uses the latest various robot technologies, and has also cooperated with Nanshan Semiconductor to develop related chips."

"Nanshan Auto Parts has cooperated to develop many types of sensors, and some domestic military enterprises have assisted in providing some gun-related technologies and products."

"In the future, it is expected to become an important weapon on the battlefield in China and even many countries around the world."

The robot industry has always been an industry that Cao Yang attaches great importance to.

Starting from welding robots, Nanshan Robot is now the world's largest robot company.

70% to 80% of the welding robots used by domestic automobile OEMs are provided by Nanshan Robot.

If the factories newly built in recent years are counted, almost 90% are products of Nanshan Robot.

Good performance, good quality, and affordable price.

Nanshan Robot's unmanned factory is now known to many industrial enterprises in the industry.

Now, after many years, it has finally come up with a new generation of products, which will definitely attract attention from all parties.

After all, although the robot dog is a product developed for military purposes, as long as it is slightly modified, it can also be used in many other occasions.

Even in the field of electronic pets, there is a relatively promising application space.

"Have you completed the robot dog project?"

For all the projects cooperating with Nanshan companies, Xiang Changle has listened to relevant reports.

So when Cao Yang mentioned it, he knew what he was talking about.

The robot dog product is not only being researched by Nanshan Robot, but there are also many scientific research institutions and companies in China that are researching similar products.

Even the United States, the North Pole, Germany, Japan and other countries are researching similar products.

Human life is becoming more and more precious, and things that can be done by robots naturally do not need people.

Although the concept of robot dogs has been proposed for many years, no one has really come up with a product that makes people shine.

Now Nanshan Robot is going to become a pioneer in the industry, which is naturally worth looking forward to.

"Yes, this time we launched two types of robot dogs, one is lightweight and the other is powerful."

"The lightweight type is good at reconnaissance, and can do actions such as lying down, jumping and retreating, and even shaking hands with soldiers."

"Its main role on the battlefield is not simple combat, but it can effectively replace people to go to the front line or go deep into the enemy camp to collect intelligence with multiple sensor systems installed on it."

"And the other one can carry a rifle and move forward quickly and flexibly adjust the direction of the muzzle. According to our tests, the robot dog can perform a variety of practical tasks and can definitely be the center of attention on the battlefield."

"At that time, this type of robot dog can be used to lead the battle on the battlefield, because the weight of this type of robot dog alone reaches an astonishing 50 kilograms."

"It can carry a submachine gun or even a light machine gun to sweep the infantry on the battlefield."

Cao Yang also participated in the design of this robot.

In fact, with the improvement of various technologies, it has become much easier for various Nanshan companies to produce various robots.

After all, many technologies have similar applications in other places, and now they are just targeted for some combinations.

Of course, it is also because the Nanshan companies are strong that they can have such a combination plan.

If you change to another company, there may be various problems.

For example, the bearing life does not meet the requirements, and it is not wear-resistant.

Or the performance of the micromotor is not good, and it is impossible to make various complex movements.

Even various sensors, you cannot produce them to meet the requirements.

"Is the function of this robot dog really that powerful?"

Xiang Changle became interested immediately.

He is a professional car expert, but the automobile major itself is also a major under the university subject of mechanical engineering.

Many things are connected.

"Yes, on the battlefield, it can not only conduct reconnaissance and surveillance, but also perform the task of transporting supplies."

"Imagine that on a battlefield full of artillery fire, there is such a robot dog that can quickly cross the most dangerous areas and safely deliver ammunition and necessities to comrades. This is undoubtedly a great blessing for frontline soldiers."

"Don't look at its appearance similar to that of an ordinary military dog, but it integrates the most cutting-edge technology inside."

"It can navigate freely in various complex terrains, whether it is rugged mountains, dense jungles or urban battlefields full of obstacles, it can stably and efficiently complete reconnaissance and delivery tasks."

"And all this is based on its precise sensors and advanced navigation system. By the way, this navigation system is provided by the Starlink satellite system of Venus Technology."

As Cao Yang explained, Xiang Changle already had an image of a robot dog in his mind.

"Why don't I come to Nanshan Robot to take a look later?"

Xiang Changle, who was itching, couldn't wait to see the real thing.

After all, no matter how good it is, it is not as impactful as seeing it with your own eyes.

"No problem, I'll go with you to have a look later."

"Call Pan Jun and let him see the power of the robot dog in advance."

Cao Yang would naturally not refuse Xiang Changle's visit.

Although it is not certain whether this robot dog will be exported, it is definitely not necessary to keep it secret from Xiang Changle.

...

For ordinary Chinese people, things like guns and ammunition are absolutely out of reach.

But for Venus Technology, it itself produces military products and will inevitably involve related ammunition.

So it is not so difficult for Nanshan Robotics, which is in the same group, to apply for a batch of guns and ammunition.

In fact, some companies in the Nanshan system have legal gun-carrying certificates for security personnel in some special occasions.

There is no way. If the laboratories or production workshops of core companies such as Venusstar Technology do not have any strong security, then something big will definitely happen.

The United States or other forces can make a big noise as long as they make random arrangements.

Of course, in addition to the security teams of each company in the Nanshan system, the relevant departments also have some special forces in the surrounding areas.

What ordinary people can see most is that there are special police vehicles parked at the gates of companies such as Venusstar Technology all day long.

Once there is any situation, they can get support as quickly as possible.

"Mr. Cao, this robot dog is too smart, right? We can actually take it with us like walking a dog."

"It can actually actively follow our pace to adjust its own route. It's really amazing."

Pan Jun and Xiang Changle followed Cao Yang to Nanshan Robot and felt the power of the robot dog in advance.

He had come into contact with some robot products before, but none of them could compare with the current robot dogs.

"Not only does it simply follow, our robot dog can also work closely with soldiers."

"Through an efficient communication system, it can transmit battlefield information in real time and provide commanders with first-hand intelligence support. At critical moments, this robot dog can even provide firepower support and become a capable assistant to soldiers."

"This intelligent war equipment marks a major change in the future form of war."

"In the past, we relied on human courage and physical strength. Today, the addition of intelligent machines makes war more dependent on the power of science and technology."

"This not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of combat, but also greatly protects the lives of soldiers."

Cao Yang has seen many products of the AI ​​era in the future, and he is also clear about many future development directions.

The right direction is sometimes more important than any effort.

"Such an advanced robot dog, I think it is necessary to let the relevant departments experience it in advance."

"In addition to the expert team coming to accept and confirm, I think it can be used in the exercise."

"Mr. Cao, I want to give feedback to the higher-ups and show this robot dog in the latest exercise."

"Even in this year's military parade, you can consider adding a robot dog display session."

As the liaison representative of the relevant departments stationed in Nanshan enterprises, Pan Jun naturally hopes that Nanshan enterprises can achieve more results.

To a certain extent, this is also his achievement.

The robot dog in front of him is so excellent, there is no reason not to take it out as soon as possible.

"Then I'll trouble Representative Pan."

"It would be best if it could be put into actual combat as soon as possible."

"Anyway, our production line has been built, and we are waiting for the relevant departments to place a large order for us."

According to Cao Yang's estimate, if the relevant departments recognize the role of robot dogs, the number of equipment in the future will definitely be very considerable.

Not to mention equipping each person with one, it is entirely possible that the national demand exceeds 100,000.

And this kind of product can be used not only by a certain team, but also in many fields.

It is even very suitable for patrolling at the border and in the city.

It is nothing more than a targeted adjustment of the things carried on it.

Pan Jun acted quickly. Of course, the main reason was that the performance of the robot dog produced by Nanshan Robot was too amazing.

So soon, a unique display was launched at a certain exercise site.

Nanshan Robot's technicians personally went to assist in training so that relevant personnel could quickly use the robot dog.

Not to mention other things, just the scene of the robot dog patrolling and moving quickly on the exercise battlefield, and even shooting quickly, gave people a very big impact.

A few days later, the footage of this exercise was directly broadcast by Huaxia TV.

At this time, Nanshan Robot's robot dog immediately became famous.

"This is so cool!"

"Are you sure this isn't a scene from a movie?"

"It's so amazing. I didn't expect we have such an advanced product."

"The technological progress of domestic robots is so fast. Now they are ahead of many competitors."

"Imagine the scene of a large army of robot dogs. It's really worth looking forward to."

"If such a robot dog becomes a pet dog, it seems to be worth looking forward to."

"In the future, when you walk the dog, you can directly ask it to help carry things. You can even bring a robot dog when you go out for a wild trip."

...

Various comments made this news from Huaxia TV quickly appear in the hot searches on Weibo.

Many robots in the past looked abstract, like a device.

But this time, the robot launched by Nanshan Robot uses a better simulation process and looks closer to a real dog.

And a lot of effort has been put into the appearance design.

While ensuring performance, it also maintains aesthetics.

So not only military fans are very interested in it, but even some girls think it is cute.

Even if it carries a submachine gun on its back.

Robot dogs have become a hot topic in China, and naturally many companies in the robotics industry are paying attention to this matter.

"General Tanaka, Nanshan Robotics in China has launched a combat robot, which seems to have attracted a lot of attention and looks very powerful."

"Can we produce similar products?"

As a large Japanese company, Kawasaki Heavy Industries is also well-known in the field of robots.

Some robots used by relevant departments in Japan were developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

In this field, they are better than Fanuc and Fujikoshi.

"The technical threshold for combat robot dogs is very high. It involves materials, machinery, optics, electronic intelligent control, energy, etc., covering almost all new and old technologies. It cannot be developed without the most comprehensive industrial capabilities."

As the head of research and development of Kawasaki Heavy Industries' robots, Masanori Tanaka has a relatively good understanding of various robot products.

For example, he saw some similar news about the robot dog launched by China from Boston Dynamics in the United States last year.

At that time, he did consider designing the same product, but found that the threshold was a bit high.

The most important thing is that after the design is completed, the relevant departments in Japan may not necessarily purchase it.

The situation in Japan is a bit different from that in the United States and China.

Their relevant departments cannot handle the purchase of various equipment according to their own wishes, but need to fully consider the opinions of the United States.

For things like combat robot dogs, Tanaka Masanori thinks that Japan will eventually purchase them from the United States.

That's why he didn't put too much energy into the development of this aspect.

"Combat robot dogs are much more complicated than toys. From some photos and news released by China, we can feel that in addition to a 95-1 assault rifle, it is also equipped with a battlefield perception system that integrates white light/passive infrared/laser ranging. The tail position must have a military data link transceiver with strong anti-interference ability. The difficulty of the technology of these two integrated equipment alone has blocked more than 200 countries and regions from the equipment threshold."

"We have no advantages in this regard."

Tanaka Masanori further explained the production threshold of combat robot dogs.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries is very strong, but it can't handle everything.

"Nanshan Robot's research history on robots is not as long as ours."

"If they can produce this kind of robot dog, I think we can do it too."

As the vice president in charge of sales and the head of the sales department, Ishikawa Yuwu naturally hopes that Kawasaki Heavy Industries' robot product line can be more abundant.

Especially this kind of combat robot dog that can attract a lot of gimmicks is even more worth looking forward to.

As for the difficulties just mentioned by Tanaka Masanori, he is not very concerned.

That is not something that the sales should worry about. When the decision is made to develop, the engineers will naturally find a way to solve it.

In his opinion, Japan's technology in many fields is very advanced, and there is no reason why Chinese companies can produce it. They really can't do it.

It's nothing more than some things that Kawasaki Heavy Industries is not good at, so they can find other companies.

For example, some sensors, there are many companies specializing in the production of sensors in Japan, and he doesn't believe that everyone can't produce them.

"The situation of Nanshan Robot is very different from ours. They are backed by the entire Nanshan Group of companies."

"Whether it is Nanshan Equipment or Venusstar Technology, they are both very powerful. They can even produce heavy transport helicopters and various advanced drones."

"Even the space station has been launched, and many communication and perception-related parts technologies involved have been relatively maturely applied."

"These advantages are beyond our reach."

As the person in charge of R\u0026D, Tanaka Masanori certainly does not want to dig a hole for himself.

If a combat robot dog needs to be studied, it can definitely be studied.

But the difference between dogs is the same as the difference between people, which is very big.

When manpower and material resources are invested, but the result is not good, it will be embarrassing.

"Just give it a try. How do you know it won't work if you don't try it?"

Tanaka Masanori was speechless after hearing what Ishikawa Yuwu said.

However, his position was half a level higher than his, so he had no way to directly object and could only bite the bullet and do it.
