Hao Ren realized that he really didn't know enough about the drone fleet he built. He usually only focused on collecting various information from the cluster data link and using them as a convenient detector network, but he didn't expect this guy to be too. It has its own "life", and its "life" can make people dumbfounded—think about it, a drone AI is usually busy expanding and proliferating itself in the universe, and then has nothing to do From time to time, I just look at the "documentary artworks" of drone rebellion taken by humans, and calmly create new AI workers while watching various AI rampages. Hao Renguang thought about this scene and felt that it was weird. The reality is much more bizarre than the novel, because at least there is logic in the novel, right...
And he's more interested in that "forum" mentioned by the drone swarm.
"That's a communication platform for the drone swarm," said the huge blue holographic face with another weird smile. "It's very interesting."
"A communication platform for the drone swarm?" Hao Ren felt that something was wrong. He pointed to the small drones flying around, "You and theirs? You should be a kind of group consciousness, why do you need a forum?" kind of stuff…”
"No, it's between the fleets." The blue face interrupted Hao Ren's wild speculation, "The empire has hundreds of millions of drone fleets, built by the inspectors, deployed by the empire, and from large fleets The separated sub-working groups, although we perform our own tasks in places far apart, we are connected through the data network, and we have a very special 'distance concept' between each other, so... in a huge information On the platform, the drone swarms live in a lively community."
As the blue face said, more pictures emerged on the walls of the mechanical chamber, which were news from other drone groups, which may be carrying out pioneering missions millions of worlds away, or It may be the service crew in a certain god factory, each of them has a staggering scale, and the drone group built by Hao Ren is even just a child compared with these ancient groups. This information is running on the data network. With the speed of the Internet constantly refreshing beyond any mortal civilization, Hao Ren can only see less than one ten-thousandth of the information flow. Yet these fragments were enough to dazzle him.
"I've never seen these things before..." Hao Ren was speechless. "This is... a brand new network structure? You are a kind of collective consciousness. A large number of individuals form a unified wisdom, and then so many collective consciousnesses gather again. Together, form a network, and this network... ”
"Yes, it is also intelligent." The blue face said lightly, "but it is huge and chaotic, and it cannot be described. It is a super-experienced wisdom model, which is judged by the very limited definition of many ordinary races. , You may not even think it is thinking, but it is really a superintelligence. It operates deep in the data network of the drone swarm, and is responsible for providing additional computing power and deduction support for the Imperial Data Network. "
Hao Ren couldn't comprehend what kind of existence a super AI formed by double cluster consciousness was, but he could imagine how powerful it was—especially when it was in charge of a group of hundreds of millions of drones. And when each drone group has tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of lower-level individuals. Lili couldn't help sticking out her tongue after thinking about it for a while: "Fortunately, this isn't a disaster movie."
"It looks like we'll have to wait here for a day or two," Hao Ren turned to look at his companions behind him, "I'm going to stay in the den. Does anyone want to come with me?"
Lily shook her ears: "Forget it, I'd better go back to the spaceship. My creative association ability is too developed, and it's easy to have nightmares when I look at this place."
"Get out" and rubbed his head against the good guy's arm: "I'll be with you, you have dried fish."
Hao Ren pointed to Doudou hanging on his arm, and rolled his ears down immediately: "Forget it, I can't eat fish when she's here, I'll go to the boat."
This cat has been bullied by Doudou for a long time, and it has become more and more popular recently.
Finally, after asking around, no one would like to stay in this place with Hao Ren. Even Vivian, who always likes dark places, seems to be very displeased with this weird base like a worm's nest. Only Doudou, who didn't understand anything, held Hao Ren's arm from beginning to end: the little guy seemed to have no three views. She thought that her dad's elbow was the safest place in the world, and this drone nest had zero influence on her.
Others were satisfied with the curiosity-seeking mentality after continuing to wander around with the rogue explorer for a while. They all returned to the spaceship to rest, while Hao Ren, led by the probe, entered the depths of the lair, where there was a temporary (or generated) room specially built for him.
It's a dead-on-white steel room, but the drones have decorated the place as much as possible with a human aesthetic, so it's still a nice place to rest. Hao Ren walked into the room and found that all the furniture and furnishings he could use had been prepared inside, and there was a huge window on one wall of the room. When he came to the window, he saw that outside was a huge cave illuminated by light blue lights. The cave was full of busy production facilities and various unnamed mechanical devices. Above the cave was a long and narrow road. The newborn drones come in and out of those openings, bringing streams of light.
And nearly half of those drones are oddly shaped: Instead of carrying huge antennas or multifunctional robotic arms, they have instead a series of tubes or parallel crystalline rail structures mounted on their sides.
"This is the production center of this outpost," Hao Ren muttered to himself, "Are you building more armed drones?"
"Yes, in accordance with the special order you issued 235 hours ago, the production quota of armed drones has been increased. The current production capacity of armed drones is 40%, and that of pioneer probes is 30%. The combined production of nest weavers and various industrial models is 30%. At the same time, sentry guns have begun to be set up at every node within the range of the fleet and on the main transportation routes. It is expected that all of them will be completed within three months of capital standard time. Transformation and addition. Subsequent new nodes and cruising paths will be executed according to the new standards you specify.”
Hao Ren nodded: "Well, it's much safer this way."
"But there is one thing that the crew must report:" The blue face floated behind Hao Ren, and it shrunk in size to fit Hao Ren's room. "After implementing the new standard, the development speed will drop by a percentage." Part 20. Originally, the drone fleet is equipped with basic self-defense firepower, and the important nodes of the fleet also have sentry guns. You ordered that these armaments be doubled, is this necessary?"
"You are a civilian model," Hao Ren looked back at the swarm consciousness interface, but unfortunately, the other party's expression was still not vivid enough, and it seemed meaningless for him to exchange expressions with the other party, "so it's not surprising that you have this way of thinking .But you don't forget that test we did."
"In the fire conflict simulation with the 'Patian' battleship and the combat simulation with the guardian warship, ordinary drones are at a disadvantage." The fleet consciousness replied lightly.
"That's right, because most drones aren't armed at all, not even armed - just mining guns and welders. You're just a civilian model, and everything I can use is a civilian model, and it's the 'safest' That kind of weapons used by inspectors is for peacekeeping, not for intimidation," Hao Ren crossed his arms and looked at the busy production factory outside the window, "It works in other universes, but in this universe, Peacekeeping is not enough.”
"Partner, what do you think you will fight with?" The data terminal floated over, and it came to Hao Ren through the holographic projection of the cluster consciousness, "You are preparing an army—although according to the standards of the upper echelon, it is considered civilian security , but for most mortal civilizations, you're building a torrent of steel, and a terrifying one at that. You've never acted this aggressively before."
"The eldest son who went crazy and became the guardian of the brain monster. These two threats alone are enough for me to raise my guard, and there is actually a living rebellious son at the gate of Suluen, although it is different from the special time and space of the gate of Suluen." It depends on the status, but this is enough to show that the Goddess of Creation's genocide punishment has loopholes, so we have more than one or two hidden dangers to worry about." Hao Ren shook his head slightly, "At this stage, I just let the drone group strengthen its self-protection ability That's all, these are my most important eyes and ears, I don't want someone to destroy this net at a critical moment. But in the future... "
Hao Ren paused, looking at his hands.
Dark red lines spread across his palms, like ugly burns. Although there was no pain, every time he clenched his fists, he would feel a scorching heat. It felt exactly the same, it was like a continuation of that illusion.
After touching the golden disc, he got more information than he imagined. (to be continued~^~)
