824. Technology changes the world

Deep-sea robot technology has world barriers. Currently, only the United States and Japan have mastered deep-sea robots below 8,000 meters. Europe's technology has just exceeded 7,000 meters. China and other third worlds, which is even worse.

Compared with onshore robots, underwater robots are more technically difficult, among which robotic arms, thrusters, and lifting and sinking compensation systems are the technical core, which is the secret of various countries.

Just such a deep-sea robot involves key technologies such as energy, precise positioning, zero-visibility navigation, high-strength and lightweight and corrosion-resistant structural materials and buoyancy materials technology, operation technology, acoustic technology, recycling technology, etc., and equipment control requires professional teams to carry out.

The engineer team brought by Billy this time was specifically designed to manipulate these two robots.

Watching the robot enter the water, Billy sighed: "Thanks to the government's research fund and the application needs of the oil industry, otherwise we would not have such advanced tools. Do you know what these two robots were doing?"

"Don't treat me as a country bumpkin. You said that the government has developed it out of demand for the oil industry. So they are used to detect deep-sea oil fields and lay subsea pipelines, etc., right?" Qin Shiou asked.

Billy nodded and smiled, "It's about the same thing, it's just doing this."

The pressure of the sea water at a depth of 4,000 meters is terrifying. In order to protect the robots, they sink very slowly and only drop to the bottom of the sea two hours later. Then, the scene of the bottom of the sea can be seen on the computer of the salvage boat.

The cameras of the two robots use fiber optic transmission technology, and the high-definition undersea video captured was transmitted simultaneously to the control room on the ship. The appearance of this half of the ship appeared on the screen.

The robot did not rush into the air, but turned around the shipwreck several times, so a 3D projection of the damaged shipwreck appeared on the screen.

Then, with the damaged main body of the shipwreck as the core, the computer simulated it, and the complete appearance of the shipwreck slowly appeared.

Billy held a drawing with an image of a shipwreck, which was left by the US Navy more than two hundred years ago.

After careful comparison, Billy nodded and said, "This is the Allal Sword, the flagship of the Barbary Pirates. Man, we are lucky and did find Shen Bao of the Pirates."

Qin Shiou said dissatisfiedly: "What does it mean to be lucky? This is obviously because my friend has strong abilities!"

Billy quickly smiled and said, "Yes, your white whale and dolphin friends are so amazing. I think that after salvaging Shenbao, I will take out 50,000 yuan from my portion to buy food to reward them."

Finding this half of the ship is not the next step to mine and look for treasures, but to continue to simulate with a computer.

There are advanced electronic instruments on the salvage boat, and there are more than a dozen computers alone. Several engineers are busy and input a series of parameters into the computer.

Qin Shiou leaned over and looked at it, and immediately stuck out his tongue. It was such a huge project!

Supercomputers require too much data, including the speed of undersea undercurrents in nearby waters over the past 250 years, the number and sequence of sea storms, the position and posture of half a shipwreck, and a series of hundreds of parameters.

But the same thing is said, sharpening the knife does not delay chopping wood. After all these parameters are entered, the supercomputer began to simulate the outcome of two shipwrecks 250 years ago, giving a rough shipwreck sunken channel.

According to the simulation exercise, the Allalli Sword, which was first shot and sunk, was bombarded in two pieces by the US Navy on the sea surface. The second half sank directly. The first half of the ship sailed forward for more than a kilometer before entering the water and began to sink.

The skeleton shot behind was quite miserable. It was directly sunk by the shell. The ship only sank into the sea, and then it became two pieces under the impact of water pressure and undercurrents, and then sank to the bottom of the sea under reaction force. (To be continued...)
