Chapter 694 Super Robot
On the other hand, the war in the Persian Gulf did not stop because of a victory of the Persians.
On the contrary, the US military is always thinking about a fatal blow to the Persians. Under the command of General Hajid, the main force of the Air Force used a sensitive mobile active passive radar detection network to launch guerrilla warfare with the US military: When the US military invaded on a large scale with several squadrons of the air force, the main force of the Persians avoided fighting and even shut down most of the active radars to hide, leaving only a small number of mobile radars and communication-based monitoring systems to grasp the dynamics of the US military's large-scale aircraft cluster.
However, when the US military invaded with a squadron-level aircraft group, the Persian Air Force resolutely took off to fight, taking advantage of the long-range joint attack advantages of cluster operations, allowing US fighter jets to suffer repeated losses. Although after learning the lessons, US fighter jets were not as frustrated as Tabas air combat. They launched attacks from the south through bases such as the UAE, and they could get strong support from air early warning aircraft. US fighter jets could launch long-range attacks like Persians.
However, due to the lack of intelligent combat methods of US fighter jets, the US fighter jets in this long-range attack were obviously at a disadvantage, and the losses were far higher than those of the Persians.
In addition, on the ground now, the various maneuverable Red Flag series air defense missiles purchased by the Persians from China were in place, and the Persians had another way of attacking US fighter jets. These maneuverable air defense missile systems were extremely flexible and posed a great threat to the fighter jets that the US invaded the country. Of course, due to their strength, the Persians could only rely on the country to conduct defensive operations and were unable to actively attack US military bases across the border, which led to the Persian war entering a stalemate.
For the US military, it is certainly embarrassing to fight like this, but they firmly grasp the initiative of the war. In the long run, the balance of victory will be on their side. Due to the influence of the war, the Persians' main source of crude oil production and exports, which are mainly economic sources, have become extremely unstable, and the quantity has also begun to decrease significantly. The increasing decline in crude oil revenue is almost deadly for the fragile economy of the Persians.
For ordinary Persians, a big victory can boost the national spirit for a while, but everyone will have to live. Once the domestic economy is getting worse and the people's lives are becoming more and more difficult, the people will gradually lose confidence and seek some new changes. Regarding this, Lieutenant General Walker also saw clearly after many setbacks, so he turned to a long-term blockade and siege strategy and launched regular attacks on the Persian economic facilities. Faced with this new strategy of the US military, the Persians had no choice but to do anything. With their current strength, they had no hope to break the US military's blockade. They could only grit their teeth and struggle to hold on, waiting for a new turnaround in the world, and occasionally launch local strikes with ground-to-surface missiles to retaliate.
This war does not have much significance for the busy Duke. The emergence of more and more Lotus reactor nuclear power plants is a great thing for Duke's nuclear power companies, and it also means more nuclear fuel production for Bilme. However, it is mixed for Duke. Due to the lack of Duke's participation, Duke's robot research project has not progressed smoothly, mainly because it is because the energy storage device is always unable to find a suitable power so that the robot can work independently for a long time.
In this way, when these nuclear power plants produce nuclear fuel, Duke had to rack his brains to make himself "disappear" and spare time to accompany Bileme to "collect goods" from nuclear power plants around the world.
However, when Duke's missing action was done a few more times, Duke's personal guards had doubts. They did not doubt Duke, but felt that there was a loophole in the security system they were responsible for. There seemed to be some safety "vacuum" in the middle, because Bileme's "electric stun" could not completely eliminate the memories of these highly vigilant special defense soldiers before fainting.
In this case, Duke had to intervene in this robot project to solve the obstacles to energy storage batteries as soon as possible so that the robot could replace his work.
According to the requirements of the pickup action and working environment, the battery power required by Duke's robot can work in a normal working environment for more than 3 hours, so that the pickup work can be successfully completed under high-intensity conditions of the seabed. To meet Duke's requirements, this future intelligent robot power battery will require about 10KWh of energy to meet. At the same time, due to the body size requirements and weight ratio of the robot, the weight of this battery cannot exceed 10 kilograms.
In addition, the mass-specific energy per kilogram of complete external accessories requires 1000Wh. Such a demanding requirement, in the view of the research team, only lithium-sulfur batteries currently have this potential. The theoretical mass-specific energy of lithium-sulfur batteries can reach up to 2600Wh/kg, which is currently known as the battery material with the highest specific capacity. If it can be applied in practice, it can meet Duke's needs.
However, this new lithium-sulfur battery is now in the early research stage in the world, and there are many technical difficulties without answers. For example, the current electrolyte of this battery has serious problems, which will cause loss and erosion of the positive electrode active substance, and eventually cause the positive electrode area to collapse, making the battery charge and discharge times relatively low, now only two or three hundred times. At the same time, this process also seriously causes the battery performance to drop sharply, and the power will decrease after repeated charging;
In addition, the current operating temperature of lithium-sulfur batteries with charging and discharging effects is as high as 300-400℃, which requires relatively expensive high-temperature resistant materials and complex preparation processes to prevent the battery from burning, and also enable the battery module to be used in various working environments. The complexity of this production process also makes the project team very troubled.
Faced with these problems, after Duke intervened in the project, he first organized all the results of the project's current research, including various data and experimental data, into electronic data, and entered Kerry's space for him to sort and absorb. In addition, Duke obtained relevant information from MIT and Harvard University Library, Kerry soon sorted out a complete new battery research database, which turned Duke into a battery research "expert" with rich theoretical knowledge in a short period of time.
With these foundations, based on the existing electrolyte experimental data of the project team, Kerry can deduce some new experimental plans based on this. These new plans are key experiments that Kerry cannot deduce from existing data. Although the experts of the lithium-sulfur battery research group are a little pleased that Duke has intervened in, because this has more sufficient resources, he is a little dissatisfied with Duke's direct intervention in specific matters. After all, this is a brand new field. Although Dr. Duke has a huge halo, the layman is an layman. Without long-term accumulation in this area, everyone has no idea about these experimental plans proposed by Duke.
No matter what these experts think, this time he forced these half-believing and half-doubted experts to conduct relevant experiments with authority. Anyway, research funds can break through all budget restrictions under Duke's control. After taking over this time, he asked everyone to promote this project at any cost. So although these experiments cannot see any future and will cost a lot of money, these experts still began to nervously perform these new experiments according to Duke's requirements.
After the results of the new solutions came out, the results did not exceed the experts' expectations. Most of the results of these new solutions such as Duke were very poor, which was much worse than many currently known solutions.
However, the experts did not have time to complain, and Duke proposed more new solutions for them to implement. This is a new solution for Kerry to simulate calculation adjustment and optimization after mastering more and more experimental data and gradually improving the accuracy of the derivation model. Among these new proportional solutions, Kerry Optimization selected some possible combinations that are most likely to improve performance.
Soon, the originally questioned experts were surprised to find that the new solution provided by Dr. Duke had a magical effect, and the battery performance was getting better and better, which made the experts finally discover that no one in the world is omnipotent, except Dr. Duke.
The results of this continuous optimization are to obtain more data and better results, allowing the simulation results error of Kerry's simulation derivation program to gradually converge. Finally, under Duke's leadership, the Research Group obtained a new electrolyte formula that can stabilize charge and discharge more than 500 times, allowing this lithium-sulfur battery laboratory model to enter the practical stage.
After completing this step, Duke allowed Kerry to implement this new lithium-sulfur battery electrolyte formula research simulation application model, and threw it to the project team to further improve. Duke himself turned his energy to studying the final packaging manufacturing process issue.
On the issue of high temperature work, although some experts can make it work by reducing the working temperature of lithium-sulfur batteries, the result of this greatly reduces the mass-specific energy density of lithium-sulfur batteries. For Duke, the most important thing at this stage is to have the highest energy density per unit weight to ensure that its robot can have stronger energy to complete the difficult task.
The robot Duke will work on the seabed for a long time in the future and needs to overcome harsh environments such as seawater resistance. In this case, abundant energy is more important than anything else. Therefore, Duke would rather have a higher working temperature than reserve more energy to ensure the smooth execution of its task.
Therefore, in the face of this situation, Duke used the best mechanical processing resources in China to allow Shenda Machine Tool to produce and modulate the most complex process manufacturing equipment in China. At the same time, it also mobilized the most suitable high-temperature resistant materials that it can find now to make the battery shell. Duke did not have to consider the cost of mass production. If gold is suitable for Duke, use gold. With such loose conditions, the engineering team quickly selected from Duches Heavy Industry's material library, a expensive alloy material K-80, which was just developed recently. This material can withstand 800 high temperatures and has a good corrosion resistance effect, but the current price is not much worse than gold.
However, with this material and new production process equipment, the engineering team finally produced the first generation of high-density lithium-sulfur batteries that meet Duke's performance indicators.
This is something weighing about ten kilograms. It can have 12 kilowatt-hours of energy after full charge, which can ensure charge and discharge about 500 times, the maximum voltage output is 48 volts, the maximum current is 150 amphibious, and within 1 hour of full charge.
If you only look at these indicators, this battery is undoubtedly an extremely advanced high-energy battery at present. It uses a battery pack composed of 4 sets of battery module units. One charge is enough to make a car run about 400 kilometers, while the added weight is only 40 kilograms. If 8 sets of battery units are installed, it can run 800 kilometers with an increase of 80 kilograms, which is no less than adding fuel to a fuel car.
But this is just one side of this kind of battery. From the perspective of cost, even if this thing is not considered R&D costs, the materials and production costs of purely manufactured require about 150,000 yuan, and most of the costs are spent on the expensive shell. Even if it is composed of 4 units, not counting charging and maintenance costs, the total cost during the life of 200,000 kilometers will exceed 600,000 yuan. Relatively speaking, if fuel is used for 200,000 kilometers, even if it is calculated at a high-priced gasoline of 7.5 yuan per liter, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only about 120,000 yuan, which is far from the two. Moreover, the former requires one-time investment, so such a high cost is enough to eliminate the consideration of most commercial uses.
Therefore, in terms of commercial value, this thing is almost zero at this stage. This result made the experts involved in the research speechless. However, this time Duke demanded urgently and had to create something that meets Duke's requirements in a short period of time. These experts have tried their best.
However, with such a good foundation, in the next step, experts can spend their time optimizing and improving costs to see if they can find some lower-cost materials to replace them, so that their manufacturing costs meet the needs of large-scale promotion. After all, the performance of this new generation of lithium-sulfur battery is really dazzling. If the cost can be reduced to less than one-third, it will be highly competitive.
As for these things, Duke is not very concerned. He took this batch of specially manufactured lithium-sulfur battery packs and began to urge the intelligent robot project team to complete the final work and assist them in the adjustment and optimization of the intelligent system. With the new powerful lithium-sulfur battery power, Duke's "collect" intelligent robot, which is mainly used to extract nuclear fuel from the seabed of nuclear power plants, has finally been released.
This intelligent robot, which has no name, has 4 G2E high-speed computing cores, has short-range voice comprehension capabilities and remote wireless command reception capabilities. A bionic robot made of composite materials can complete most human movements like a human palm, and has the functions of using tools to unscrew screws, carry heavy objects, etc.
In order to ensure that you can work in seawater for a long time, Duke used high-strength corrosion-resistant N-235 alloy and composite polymer materials developed by Duches Heavy Industry to make the surface body of the robot, so that it can work in seawater environment for at least ten years without corrosion.
Judging from the preliminary test, this is a very ideal "collect" robot, which should be able to replace Duke to complete the "collect" task. However, Duke did not expect that he had not had time to let the robot come in for "collect" use. An urgent matter of 100,000 yuan made this robot, which had not had time to conduct full testing, and had to make a flash in the air.
