415: Chapter 414 Human-Machine Integration!

"My answer is..."

"Wearing will always be superior to operating!"

"Basing the technical ideas and evaluation standards of future complex machinery on the current era's 'operated' mechanical platforms—including economy, practicality, durability, and so on..."

"Is to fall into the trap of inertial thinking!"

"Because in the Quantum Era..."

"As the technology for 'wearable' mechanical platforms rapidly matures, all the application foundations of 'operated' mechanical platforms will collapse along with it, becoming completely obsolete in history!"

Lei Jun once again threw out an extremely subjective opinion.

However, the commotion in the hall was much less than before.

Despite strongly disagreeing with Lei Jun's viewpoint,

Many people chose to keep their mouths shut.

Seeing that the big boss had already shown interest in Lei Jun's industrial intentions,

"Building mechas by imperial decree" was almost a certainty.

Those companies in direct competition with Dami Technology simply gave up struggling.

There were thousands of industrial tracks in the Quantum Era.

There was no need to pick a fight with an opportunist.

However,

Lei Jun's subjective answer

Clearly had not convinced the experts and professors on the jury, especially Academician Zhang Chuming.

"President Lei."

"Forgive my shallow understanding."

Academician Zhang Chuming frowned and asked again.

"I have been deeply involved in mechanical engineering for over thirty years."

"I have never heard of anyone distinguishing mechanical platforms into 'wearable' and 'operated'."

"Which textbook did you find this classification in?"

Hearing this,

Lei Jun on the stage smiled.

"It's not from a textbook, but from Chief Designer Lin."

Academician Zhang Chuming was very surprised.

He glanced at the back of Lin Mo's head in the main seat to the front right.

He looked thoughtful.

Lei Jun continued to speak with a smile.

"I already mentioned in my speech just now."

"Large-scale Mechas, also known as Large Mechanical Power Armor."

"Their essence is large-scale wearable modular armor specifically built for the 'Kunlun' Individual Exoskeleton Armor, featuring a modular structure and free assembly."

"Their usage nature is no different from Kunlun Armor."

"The core technical philosophy is also inherited from Chief Designer Lin's core ideas regarding Kunlun Armor."

"And that is..."

"To replace operation with wearing!"

Lei Jun looked at Academician Zhang Chuming.

He said in a loud voice,

"The reason we humans are the primates of all things..."

"Is fundamentally because we know how to create and use tools."

"All modern man-made complex machinery is essentially tools created through the technical accumulation of the first three industrial revolutions to explore the world."

"But in the Quantum Era,"

"Will the future development of complex machinery really follow the old path of previous eras?"

"Obviously not."

"Personally, I believe that in the foreseeable future, complex machinery has only two paths to take!"

Lei Jun scanned the hall with a firm gaze.

He held up two fingers.

"One is intelligentization, and the other is armorization."

"First, regarding intelligentization."

"In the Quantum Era, with the leap-forward development of artificial intelligence technology, AI that can think independently, understand human intent, and make decisions autonomously..."

"Will gradually and completely replace human labor."

"Eventually achieving full intelligentization, unmanned operation, and automation across the entire industrial system and even every aspect of human society."

"This point can be said to have reached a universal and broad consensus in this Quantum Conference."

"Am I right, Academician Zhang?"

Academician Zhang Chuming nodded slowly.

He replied seriously,

"That's correct."

"Through advanced artificial intelligence, upgrading the 'Internet of Everything' to the 'Intelligent Connection of Everything'."

"Achieving work like a human under various ecological scenarios and stably empowering all industries."

"This is the main development direction of the core quantum industry track of artificial intelligence."

"Mechanical engineering manufacturing and its automation are naturally included in that."

Lei Jun took the opportunity to ask,

"Then may I ask, Academician Zhang,"

"As we travel further and further down this path of artificial intelligence,"

"Will we be able to achieve 90% or even over 99% of application scenarios without needing to precisely operate complex machinery?"

Academician Zhang Chuming nodded slightly and said,

"Human strength has its limits."

"Even without quantum technology, this is the inevitable and only path for the development of our mechanical engineering technology."

Lei Jun smiled.

He shook his head and said,

"I don't think so."

"Personally, I believe there is a second path for the future development of mechanical engineering technology."

"This path will even surpass artificial intelligence and become the mainstream path for the development of Science and technology in future human civilization."

"And that is to achieve the armorization of all mechanical functions!"

This brand-new argument

Caused Lin Mo, who was below the stage, to show a look of appreciation.

Meanwhile, Academician Zhang Chuming quickly fell into thought.

Not long after,

He suddenly looked up,

Looked at Lei Jun on the stage,

And shook his head with a bitter smile.

"President Lei, I think I finally understand what you mean."

"In the future, artificial intelligence will completely replace humans in 'operating' complex machinery, achieving total unmanned operation."

"'Operation,' a concept of human-machine interaction that had to be considered in the mechanical engineering technology of previous eras,"

"Will have no application foundation in the future."

"But artificial intelligence can never replace humans."

"Because our greatest innate advantage as humans is that, like a creator, we are good at creating!"

"Since that's the case,"

"How to better utilize the core advantages of humans and fully release the infinite creativity trapped within the weak human body,"

"Is the only core consideration standard for manned machinery in the future."

These words from Zhang Chuming

Caused everyone else present to fall into deep thought.

Lei Jun felt a surge of joy.

Talking to smart people at the Academician level was so easy!

He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said,

"Yes, Academician Zhang."

"Here, I must mention a brand-new concept I've envisioned—Man-Machine Duality!"
