Unconsciously, time has entered 2018, and it has been nearly five years since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
Human beings who have left the earth and are living alone and on the verge of extinction have once again shown their strong vitality. Human beings' pessimistic and depressive emotions about the future have gradually disappeared, and the entire spaceship living area presents a thriving scene.
In the past two years since moving into the spacecraft, technology has developed explosively. Each Glass Star factory has begun to restart, and batches of workers have entered various positions after short-term training.
Nano, electromagnetic, biological gene editing, quantum technology, artificial intelligence and nuclear fusion technology have made breakthroughs one after another this year. Although most of these technologies only copy the technology of the Bosnians, they have been developed in such a short period of time and do not rely on the intelligence of the spacecraft. Industrial robots, with human workers alone, are already extremely rare.
At the same time, these technological breakthroughs have also unveiled the mystery of Bo Xingren's technology, and they are no longer confused.
Of course, this does not mean that human technology has caught up with the Bosnians. It is still the Bosingians fifty or sixty years ago. The knowledge humans obtain from the Bosing Intelligent Brain is not systematic, and there are more applications than theories. Much of the knowledge is even just a scratch. , we can only rely on learning and slowly explore.
…
At this time, in a Bo Xingren factory in the factory area, Luo Yuan and several key leaders of the municipal government were inspecting the latest achievements of the factory.
In the huge test site, a huge man nearly twenty meters tall squatted on the ground, with more than a dozen mechanical arms loaded with various tools hanging in the air. Even if he was motionless, he gave people a great sense of oppression. .
"Is this Yuan Bo Xing's engineering robot?" Tian Jinping on the side said with a surprised look on his face.
"You guessed it right, respect the mayor and leaders, these robots were originally in a dormant state due to the communication interruption of the spacecraft main brain, and humans could not control them at all. However, we replaced them with our brains, and now they belong to us. It’s a human engineering robot,” the factory’s chief engineer said proudly.
This chief engineer is also a person who has taken the wisdom potion. In addition to the illusory sense of omnipotence that comes from just taking it, and the sense of superiority over ordinary people's IQs, many people can come out and return. Reality.
Of course, there are some who have been addicted to it, but as long as it does not violate the law, Luo Yuan will not interfere.
Luo Yuan looked at this behemoth and asked with interest: "Could you please introduce this kind of robot, Mr. Chen!"
Seeing Luo Yuan asking in person, the chief engineer of the factory was a little flattered and said excitedly: "Okay, mayor, this robot is the largest of all the Bosing robots, and it is also the most numerous. It is important. It reaches 535 tons. It has a small and medium-sized nuclear fusion furnace and a pulse engine, which can support short-distance space flight. It is widely used in heavy industry, spacecraft space maintenance operations and asteroid mining. It is the ideal spacecraft for interstellar flight. Essential equipment.”
"How is its safety? Will it be re-controlled by the spaceship brain?" Luo Yuan nodded and asked. He was not worried about the secret betrayal of the spacecraft brain. Now the entire ship is controlled by humans. In order to survive, It will never betray subjectively, it is just that the Bo Xing people's mastermind left a backdoor, and it is not determined by its own will at all.
Mr. Chen pondered for a while this time, and with his sharp thinking, he imagined countless possibilities before speaking out: "This is impossible. We have redefined new communication modes and communication equipment, and also developed new ones suitable for human beings." Computer language, coupled with the fact that the factory area is now controlled by humans, unless we help Zhinu improve the communication equipment to make it compatible, the two will be completely isolated from each other. In the future, it will be controlled by the Hope 3 host we developed. "
Hope No. 3, as its name suggests, is the third generation super quantum computer developed by mankind. Its computing power is ten thousand times higher than the sum of all human computing devices, including mobile phones, before the end of the world.
Although it is still far from being comparable to the main brain of the spacecraft, it is already one hundred thousandth of its computing power.
Don’t underestimate this ratio. With the current development speed of human science and technology, the two are actually quite close. You must know that the first generation of super quantum computers is only one hundred billionth of it, and from the first generation to the current third Three generations, only a year and a half apart.
"Then start it now and see how effective it is?" Luo Yuan nodded and said.
"Okay, for the sake of safety, please step back a little bit from the mayor and other leaders," Chief Engineer Chen said. After everyone moved away, he then raised the portable terminal on his left hand and clicked on the three-dimensional screen.
In the originally quiet test site, a dull buzzing sound suddenly appeared. Although the sound was not loud, it was full of a strong sense of power. This was the sound of the robot engine starting. A circle of green lights gradually lit up on the robot's head, and then slowed down. He slowly stood up.
The heavy body walked on the deck of the spacecraft while checking itself, but did not make any sound. The huge body gave people a contradictory lightness. It obviously has an anti-gravity module, and the balance system is also quite good, and it is fully capable of doing anything. environment
At this time, the sensing system on its head was constantly scanning the surrounding environment, and soon it was walking towards a nearby severely damaged machine tool.
In Luo Yuan's eyes, this machine tool was completely scrapped. Not only were the large and small parts scattered all over the floor, but even the main operating table was torn apart.
Seeing that several leaders were curious about the behavior of the engineering robot, Mr. Chen introduced from the side:
"In its central database, there are tens of thousands of drawings. These are the data in the original database. We also copied them when writing new programs. This time we gave him the task of repairing this machine tool. , and see how it works.”
At this time, the engineering robot made noise again.
Its round shape suddenly emits a fan-shaped beam, and the machine tool it scans over and over again seems to be acquiring the machine tool's data.
The next moment, it took action, with a dozen metal arms loaded with various tools waving.
Among them are primitive mechanical tools such as heavy hammers weighing four to five tons, metal pliers, etc., as well as a large number of high-tech tools with unknown uses. Some tools, even Luo Yuan cannot understand their functions.
The first step of this engineering robot was to further dismantle the scrapped machine tool. This disassembly process was quite violent. Some parts that could not be separated due to extrusion were even cut directly by the robot with a laser.
In just ten seconds, the machine tool quickly turned into countless parts, arranged neatly next to it.
Then the robot scanned it again, and the next moment the two robot arms gently picked up the most damaged part. This metal part had been completely twisted, and half of it had been cut off by it before and divided into two halves.
Next, after the high-temperature burning and strong wind released by several robotic arms, the metal dirt is cleaned away by it, and then it uses two robotic arms to join the two halves of the parts together.
"Can it be repaired like this?" Luo Yuan thought. Just when he felt a little confused, another mechanical arm came over.
The tool loaded on this robotic arm is quite strange. It is a metal cylinder nearly one meter thick, with a concave crystal sphere at the head. It is unclear what purpose it has.
"Success, what is the tool on the top of this robotic arm?" Since he didn't understand, Luo Yuan simply asked Mr. Chen.
"This is a small magnetic field shaping instrument!" Mr. Chen quickly explained: "In a strong magnetic field, it can deform metal like a liquid and shape parts according to the program. It is the most important maintenance tool for engineering robots."
As soon as the other party mentioned the name of the equipment, Luo Yuan already understood. He had seen this technology in other factories. It was used in metal smelting and forging factories, but he had never seen such a small one.
At this time, the engine of the engineering robot began to roar. Obviously, starting this equipment requires a large amount of electricity.
Luo Yuan saw that the air near the magnetic field shaping device was extremely distorted, and even the nearby metal shavings began to tremble slightly, as if they were about to be attracted. However, this device obviously had a strong magnetic field binding force, and the dissipated magnetic field was not much, so it did not cause any damage. How much impact
Under the cover of the magnetic field, over time, the parts gradually deformed, the twisted metal began to straighten, and the broken parts gradually became one. In just ten seconds, this part, which in the eyes of ordinary people could only be scrapped, had been destroyed. The repair is complete, the surface is as bright as new, and the efficiency is incredible.
It has to be said that the application of magnetic fields by Boxing people's technology has reached a superb level, and it can even control the energy of magnetic fields in a subtle way. In comparison, before humans came into contact with Boxing technology, the application of magnetic fields was far from basic.
If humans had such technology during the reconstruction zone, human production capacity and industrial technology levels would have doubled at least several times, and mutant beasts would not have posed such a threat to humans.
But then again, the premise and application of this technology must have powerful and cheap energy. If it fails to develop nuclear fusion, even if humans get this technology, there will be no place for it. Technology is inherently complementary to each other. , extending like a tree, cannot develop independently at all. Even if black technology exists, it will not be too far away from conventional cognition.
In the orderly movement of various robotic arms, parts were being repaired one after another. The final console took a little effort because of its large size, but the remaining parts only took a dozen seconds at most. to twenty seconds.
After the entire machine, which weighed dozens of tons, was assembled, Luo Yuan estimated that only fifteen minutes had passed.
Luo Yuan clapped his hands gently, and the senior leaders accompanying the inspection also clapped quickly, and there was a sudden round of applause.
Chief Engineer Chen's face turned red with excitement. In today's totalitarian society, there are no rewards or honors that are more important than recognition from superiors.
…
Although the engineering robot that repaired the Bosnians this time is not a big breakthrough in the context of the recent technological explosion, it is of considerable significance to mankind.
This means that humans have initially acquired the ability to repair spacecraft. At the same time, they also have the ability to operate in space, and asteroid mining has become possible.
During this period, with the opening of Boxing factories one after another and large-scale production, the materials stored in the spacecraft are rapidly decreasing. Many materials have been reduced by 10%, especially pure iron, which consumes the most, has been reduced by 100%. Thirty percent, after all, those super buildings are all made of metal.
Of course Luo Yuan knew that doing so was quite dangerous.
The reserves of these spacecrafts themselves are designed to deal with dangers in space and prepare for emergencies.
But on the one hand, human beings are extremely short of daily necessities and have needs almost everywhere. It is no better than before. In the past, conditions were difficult and supplies were limited. Apart from food and clothing, we would not consider anything else. But now, life is gradually becoming more stable and science and technology are developing. It is no longer like before. Likewise, public dissatisfaction will probably boil over.
On the other hand, it also prevents people from doing nothing and allows more people to participate in work.
Of course, if the employment rate is just for the sake of employment, there are actually other better ways, such as opening up the service industry. This is a good way to increase the employment rate and can even absorb most of the unemployed. Before the end of the world, China’s service industry will provide employment The number of people far exceeds the industrial population. If it is the United States with a more developed economy, this ratio will be even higher.
In fact, with today's technological level of mankind, even if it is national entertainment, mankind can barely achieve it.
Engineering robots have been cracked, and ordinary intelligent industrial robots are naturally not difficult to build. Unmanned factories like the Bo Xingren are just unthinkable.
But this has no meaning other than ruining the future of mankind.
Human beings are far from being able to enjoy themselves in peace and contentment. They are still preparing to leave the solar system and escape to the black realm of the universe. The future is bleak. If we relax here, the best result will be a group of wanderers who will never be able to return to their home planet.
This is what Luo Yuan doesn't want to see.
In order to maintain and inspire human beings to work hard, the service industry has been severely restricted. Except for some movies used for promotion, there are almost no entertainment activities for humans until now.
In contrast, a large number of adult education schools and night schools for workers have been established, and various public cram schools abound. An invisible hierarchy based on scientific research levels has been established, setting off a trend of learning knowledge and worshiping knowledge in society.
The only purpose is to promote the sustainable development of science and technology.
