Chapter 901 Isoenzymes

David was stunned: "The answer...is so simple...but..."

"There must be a lot of high-precision instruments on the spaceship. At least to replicate a machine at the level of an industrial master machine, there must be a screening machine with a measuring function. And this screening machine, of course, has a 'measurement' function. That is to say, the design drawing It is enough to store a simple diagram. The rest, the robot can get it from itself." Xiang Shan pointed to the workshop in the distance.

There lay an alien wreck.

The information that really needs to be encoded into the stele by the "code book" is actually only "measurement".

"What about the parameters of metal smelting? How does the machine observe the change of metal under high temperature?" David pressed his head: "This..."

Xiang Shan shook his head: "No need, Ogun has been in a stable environment for a long time, near vacuum, microgravity, and no other sources of interference. Metal smelting and equipment, just need to find what is needed in this environment... …Well, maybe after landing on a planet, certain physical phenomena caused by gravity will trigger certain agreements. After this agreement is triggered, those robots can adjust certain parameters by trial and error to ensure that smelting can also be completed on other planets and assembly—probably."

David nodded: "Indeed...it's almost feasible..."

Yawgmoth's eyes widened: "Wait, if those machines are intact after landing, will they...evolve?"

Xiang Shan shook his head: "No, it's impossible. These machines are the products of sophisticated design, and each of their parts has a clear and unique purpose. They can't complete tasks beyond the design goals, redundant poles. They are not like Life, life is something without a design purpose. They have no basis for 'evolution'. But if you have to say it..."

After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Shan said, "Maybe they will change at a very slow speed, or even continue to differentiate? Maybe the changes first appear at the software level? Will they gain group wisdom in a form similar to an 'ant colony'?"

"Allow them to increase their own AI code? Or is it a learning function? Can such a large amount of data support the existence of an AI with a deep learning function?" David was surprised: "They... really have hope to deal with complex problems. ……surroundings……"

"I'm just saying it's possible." Xiang Shan shrugged: "It's just a possibility. This kind of speculation has no basis. In the constant environment inside 'Ogun', the robots don't need to care about 'efficiency', they just need to ensure stable reproduction of the next generation It's ok. But once they come to the surface of the planet, their self-replication efficiency must be greater than the speed of damage. I think there is a high probability that those robots can't do it. After all, they are designed for the closed environment of Ogun. But, who knows? ? What if the planet the spacecraft landed on is just suitable for these robots to operate? If I were the designer, I might add this function to the robots, right?"

David was almost convinced by Xiangshan.

It's as if the "structure of the cell" came from an undersea volcanic fountain, not from the cell itself.The original robots did not come from information recorded within Ogun, but from Ogun's builder civilization.Those aliens played the role of "Marvel". ,

These little guys can get their own data by measuring themselves.And when they repair the shell of the Ogun spacecraft, they only need to scan other directions of the spacecraft to obtain data.

But at this moment, David also realized one thing.

They've probably lost their chance to solve the puzzle.

The robot has been shut down for unknown reasons.

And the reason for the shutdown of the robot is probably...

"The accumulation of generations has finally expanded the error to an unacceptable level?" David murmured: "Part of the robots can't work, and the lack of work one by one eventually led to the shutdown of the entire system?"

Yawgmoth whispered: "It sounds like a hypothesis about 'aging'."

"Some of the robots we found were smashed, and the parts inside don't seem to fit together. I'm afraid that's true." Xiang Shan nodded.

David covered his head, pulled a chair from behind, sat down, and said, "In this case... I don't know how many tens of thousands of years of metal transformation, the impact of landing, plus the original error..."

"Will we... never know the 'raw data'?"

David was very frustrated: "If you are right... a lot of information is not recorded on the slate. Then... the information that is not on the slate seems to be basically lost..."

Xiang Shan laughed out loud, "This is what makes me great..."

As he said that, he pulled out a stack of documents that had just been printed: "Did you know that there is something called 'isoenzyme' in living organisms..."

Yawgmoth's eyes widened: "Your knowledge structure is a bit weird. You don't even know some high school-level knowledge, but you know this kind of...well, complex, professional, and advanced concepts."

"It's almost done." Xiang Shan waved his hand: "I know the knowledge yesterday, but I'm not sure, so I asked. My supervisor has a cooperation project with someone who engages in brain science, so I know a little bit. All in all, isozyme that is……"

The moment he got stuck in Shanshan, Yawgmoth said: "Different enzyme molecules that catalyze the same reaction in the same organism. Of course, it is an isoenzyme in a broad sense, and any enzyme molecule that catalyzes the same reaction can be counted. But in a narrow sense , it is generally considered that those within the same organism are counted.”

"Thank you for the explanation, teaching assistant." Xiang Shan nodded: "Actually, we don't need to know the original appearance of those machines. We can create something with the same function...that is, it is equivalent to replacing all the machines with isozymes. reaction."

David quickly flipped through Xiang Shan's printed plan, trembling slightly: "God... you... this..."

Xiang Shan nodded: "The first thing we need to do is to restore a set of similar machines. Then, based on this set of similar machines, we continue to simplify and get closer to the original machine. What we have to do is not complete. Disassemble the meaning behind the set of symbols. In fact, what is really meaningful is the "codebook" itself. Only the "codebook" itself needs to be interpreted. And the "codebook" replaced from the "codebook" according to the "reading rules" Industrial systems can be replaced - with human technology."

"And our real goal is to restart the complete instrument whose function is unknown."

Yawgmoth wondered, "That industrial mother machine? Can it be replaced by human technology?"

Xiang Shan shook his head: "If I'm not wrong, that's the meaning of aliens sending these things into the starry sky—David, let me ask you a question. If you were to plan an interstellar immigration now, what would you do? Use what's available, and only what's available."
