Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 14. Honeycomb Autonomous Mining Robots
"You owe me a condition, put it on the account first."

Noah ignored the already petrified Frege and poured himself another cup of coffee.

"But... why is that?" Frege quickly stood up and asked, "Aren't type A-E2 the concentrated type of type 1? Why is there more content than type 1?"

"It's a common misconception."

诺雅解释道，“A-E2型中各项金属的含量的确比1型要高，如果默认2型是由1型经过累年的沉降聚集而成的话，自然会认为2型的含量远比1型低。”

"But in fact, the initial production process of these ores is from the inside out, and it is correct to understand it the other way around."

"You mean...Type 2 is actually the prelude of Type 1?" Frege suddenly said, "Then, the current scientific theory is actually problematic..."

"No," Noah shook his head, "What I said just now is that the initial production process of ore is from the inside out, and the star core gradually expands outward."

"But the effect from the outside to the inside also exists, and the effect is even far greater than the initial evolution."

She called up two different planet models on the screen, "Take your birthplace "Karatze" as an example, most living planets have gone through the long evolution stage of the original state, so the reaction from outside to inside dominates. took the lead. "

"In this case, it would be normal to have much more type 1 than type 2."

"The younger planets like Zenia are mostly still in the stage of nascent evolution, so it will be more in line with the situation I said."

"I see," Frege nodded clearly, "Mr. Nuoya is really knowledgeable!"

"Stop sycophanting," Nuoya resumed his original indifferent face, "These are test sites, and I will randomly check you at any time."

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

At this moment, a line of prompts suddenly lit up on the screen:
[Behavioral model planning is completed, and the work will start soon]

"Are we going to start..."

The eyes of the two immediately turned to the screen, and Frege was so nervous that he put his hands in his pockets.

"Should we bring the Amrodia closer?" Frege turned his head and looked at Noah, "Even if its mining efficiency is very high, it will cost a lot to transport 35 units of ore time?"

"The location where we landed is exactly between blocks H31, H35, and T12," Nuoya yawned, "There is no need to adjust, just watch."

H31 is the working area of ​​the iron barrel-shaped robot and Guard No. 35, while H12 and T[-] are the other two blocks provided by the Emeral family.

【Processed, currently in queue A】

A line of prompts lit up on the screen again, and Frege was a little confused.

Didn't you say you're about to start work?Why is that guy still standing still...

A moment later, two metal crawlers expanded from the bottom of the iron bucket robot on the screen, and then it moved slowly on the mine.

The ore where it went was indeed excavated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a path piled up with crushed ore gradually appeared where it passed, but this alone was not enough to complete the commission within the specified time.

Patrick Emmel gave Frege a one-month deadline. According to the old man's urinating nature, it is estimated that people from the sentinel port will be sent to squat next to the time, and he will be driven away as soon as the time is up.

"No...that's it?"

Frege couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, but Nuoya still looked calm and composed.

"Don't worry, look down."

After a while, Frege felt that his waist was sore and his back was aching from standing. There was no abnormal reaction on the screen for a long time. The iron bucket robot still maintained the speed just now, digging the ore in an orderly manner.

"what?"

Frege thought he was dazzled by staring at the screen for a long time, so he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, but when he looked at the screen again, he found that there were actually two identical robots in the camera.

"This is……"

"Its official name is 'Honeycomb Autonomous Mining Robot', which includes several high-tech technologies of mechanical civilization, such as highly streamlined and simplified internal assembly line, autonomous differentiation function logic mode, and honeycomb thinking management mode."

"Its working logic is that the main body logic network is first created by the mother robot, and the initial mining work is carried out autonomously by it."

Nuoya quickly explained, "After obtaining enough raw materials, the production line in the parent body will automatically operate to produce the first daughter."

The robots in the mine were still mining in an orderly manner at the original speed, while Frege in front of the screen was instantly overwhelmed with shock when the second robot appeared.

"The first daughter body also has production capacity, you see."

Noah pointed to the metal robot that had split into four on the screen, "In the previously planned behavior pattern, it has already set the steps for subsequent differentiation according to the needs."

"For example, what type is the first to produce, how much to produce, when to produce other types, and so on."

"Mining, production, and transportation are their main functions. The mother will give different functions to the daughter according to the needs."

"You can see that the second daughter body produced by the first daughter body does not have the function of production."

"It is differentiated from the mother body, and it is an individual unit that only has the two functions of 'producing and mining daughters' and mining. Such an orderly differentiation will bring the overall efficiency to a higher level."

Frege swallowed, and the number of mining robots on the screen had reached 32.

Some of them continued to mine like the first robot, while the rest of the robots whose bodies had turned into transport vehicles transported the ore they mined to the nearby open area.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of another question, "But what about their raw materials and energy sources?"

"Isn't the raw material for production the same as those ores?"

Nuoya quickly explained, "As for energy...it uses multi-control core interconnection technology, and every time an individual unit is added, the overall increase in energy consumption will not exceed 0.6 units."

"That is to say, if there are 1000 units of individual robots, their overall consumption is 1000 times that of 0.6 normal robots. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most energy-efficient products."

"I see……"

Frege was stunned, "In other words, using this robot can not only automatically adapt to various complex terrains, but also save a lot of manpower and material resources?"

"That's right," Nuoya pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, "We can sell some of the second-level matrix to the Aimer family in the future, and now they have too many backlogs of orders, no processing factory will be willing to do it for them. Custom mining bots."

"We are the best choice."

The honeycomb autonomous mining robot has entered the self-programmed mining mode. According to this progress, they will be able to complete the mining goal in no more than 10 days at most.

Frege was thinking about how to scold the old man of the Emmel family when he went back, but at this moment he suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and a pool of blood spewed out and splashed on the main console.

"Puff—cough cough..."

The last picture he saw before he fell into a coma was Nuoyan's pretty face full of anxiety.

"I...it's fine..."

He forced a smile on his face, and then his eyes went dark, and he fell down in the main control room again.
