Uplifting Journey

The memory manipulation plan is very important, but it is also very important to start the Yinghuo base construction plan first. After all, this matter can be automatically advanced as long as the shelf is set up. The sooner you start, the better.

In the raw material smelting area of ​​the Yinghuo base, Cheng Bin, who had shut down the mass production area all the way, was holding the octopus with various elements that had undergone preliminary smelting.

With the mind energy that goes deep into the atomic level, Cheng Bin can completely act as the source of the humanoid industry. The difficult process of the earth's industrial manufacturing in various aspects such as the strength and precision of the mother machine material is as if it does not exist to him.

Therefore, it is not too painful to transform the overall technological environment of Yingzhuo Base and add Matrix technology to adjust all industrial areas.

Except that it took a little more time to convert the mechanical design drawings related to the Matrix into the atomic arrangement model on the panel, Cheng Bin can basically squeeze out a mechanical octopus and debug it in a few minutes, and this process is getting better and better. quick.

The mechanical octopuses lay their tentacles straight on one side of the open space, and the increasing number gradually formed a hill.

After emptying out half of the raw material inventory, Cheng Bin clapped his hands and stopped working.

The mechanical octopus in the Matrix world is a very good construction worker, but it's just a worker.

Relying on electromagnetic devices in the external environment for hooking and moving, and relying on short-range wireless power transmission for energy, they are very limited and fragile to some extent.

Don't you see that in the movie script, once an EMP electromagnetic bomb is fired, they can be completely reimbursed?

However, this shortcoming is also their advantage—they have external energy and mobile systems, except for the control system, the structure is very simple, and the requirements for raw materials are not high, which provides the basic conditions for a large number of self-replication.

At present, the number of mechanical octopuses pinched by Cheng Bin with bare hands has reached the basic number that can be self-replicated, but there are still some problems to be solved in order for them to carry out large-scale self-replication and infrastructure construction.

In addition to the supporting production line and auxiliary machines, the most important issue is energy and control.

Speaking of energy, the reason why Cheng Bin chose this place as the new location of the base was largely because there were raw fuel ore needed for the cold fusion of nuclear fusion batteries.

However, with the reserves of the original ore and the production efficiency of the nuclear fusion battery, it is more than enough to cope with the use of the original base, but the activity of the mechanical octopus army whose supply is increasing exponentially is a bit reluctant.

The multi-element mass-energy reactor finally used by the Matrix intelligence program is designed based on celestial-level mass scale, and it is also one of the core technologies that the Mechanic Emperor did not share. Cheng Bin only got a rough idea through some corner records. .

Judging from the corner information, this technology feels quite "gross"——

Relying on ultra-large-scale matter and fine control, it generates strong pressure close to the core of the planet to promote various nuclear reactions. At the same time, it relies on the huge matter that is used as both fuel and shell to isolate the reaction area, and then indirectly converts the thermal energy of the isolation layer as an energy source. to use.

The principle is not complicated. It is said that this technology is derived from the intelligent program based on the geothermal energy extraction technology, but the actual process is very delicate. According to the records of the intelligent program, this thing has often stalled, collapsed, exploded and melted at the beginning. Case.

Cheng Bin, who has not obtained the core knowledge and data of this technology, is quite regretful, so he can only find a way to expand the production capacity of the base.

The more reliable one is indeed thermonuclear fusion.

It's just that Mars has an atmosphere to isolate the solar wind, so there is no helium 3 from the sun, and the third-generation nuclear fusion cannot play without fuel.

In the first generation of nuclear fusion technology, fuel can be prepared as long as there is water or hydrogen. There are deep and wide ice layers in some areas of Mars. Combining fusion technologies, it is no problem to build a stable magnetic confinement thermonuclear reactor.

The only trouble is that the first generation of nuclear fusion will release a large number of high-energy neutrons. Although there is no way to capture and reuse them, the reactor will still burn down after a long time, and the reactor shell needs to be replaced constantly. Because it carries a lot of radiation and pollutes the environment, it cannot be reused.

But apart from Cheng Bin, who is not afraid of radiation, there are only robots left on Mars, so there should be no problem, probably.

It took quite a long time to arrange the electromagnetic connection and short-range wireless energy transmission device that the mechanical octopus needs to rely on in the base, and after building the nuclear fusion energy generator named Zhurong No. 1 and the production line of related instruments and raw materials, Cheng Bin began to have a headache for the next question——

An intelligent program that controls everything.

The Matrix is ​​not short of intelligent programs, nor is it short of computing resources. When the productivity explodes to transform the entire earth into a metal planet, there is no lack of control in them.

Although the Mechanic Emperor did not open the most core intelligent program and computer technology to Cheng Bin, Cheng Bin, who stayed in the virtual world for a long time and watched Neo's growth and changes, basically understood the construction principle of the intelligent program.

But the problem is also here.

It is no problem for Cheng Bin to make a binary intelligent program life according to the model, but a digital life with a truly complex thinking will not be restrained by just writing a few words like "Three Laws of Robots" like human beings expect— —

You don't even know how complex data forms these constraints should be translated into, and which links should be added before the intelligent program forms an execution decision.

Unless there is a more advanced intelligent program like the mechanical emperor to supervise and control, any restrictions and permissions are a joke to a real binary life.

How does this guarantee the loyalty of an intelligent program to Cheng Bin?

He also plans to sleep in the big base of Mars in the future, and his consciousness will travel to other inner worlds. If in the process, the intelligent program controlling the base loses his mind.

God knows whether the passive defense effect of the electromagnetic warfare body can save Cheng Bin's life—most likely it is impossible, whether it is soaking in a fusion reactor, throwing it into the earth's core, or sending the sun away with a single shot, the unconscious Cheng Bin has to shoot it properly. GG.

"Low-level intelligent programs simply cannot control so many mechanical octopuses for complex construction projects"

Cheng Bin, who was flying in mid-air, was holding a mass of silver-white metal substance like plasticine in his hand. He was thinking about the huge ring-shaped building under his feet—Zhu Rong No. 1 with his thoughts.

"Advanced intelligence must add a final review link before decision execution, the role of this regulatory review"

Cheng Bin thought for a while, and it was impossible for him to spend a lot of time and energy monitoring the intelligent program at any time. Besides, with the terrifying calculation and decision-making speed of the intelligent program, he also had no ability to supervise.

The image of a little black cat suddenly appeared in Cheng Bin's head, which was running at high speed.
