Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 513 A small explosion of technology
The test on Xiaohui went very smoothly, and basically all the expected functions were available. Not to mention other things, her basic function of mining is really good, and it already looks like the Silver Mist that humans encountered back then.

According to engineers, she has many functions such as identification, decomposition, and transportation. After discovering mineral resources, she can use a large number of ultra-micro nanorobots to break down chemical bonds to make holes, and then use French artillery to decompose the required minerals into Various elements. Then, a transport structure is formed by combining multiple nanorobots individually, and then the metals are transported to the ground bit by bit.

However, it does not have the ability to prevent active metals from forming compounds, so when some chemically active metals are mined, they are mostly transported to the ground in the form of compounds.

When doing the stacking operation, she would control countless nanorobots to release certain radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves, causing the metals to be fused together little by little, forming mountains of metal stacked one after another.

Of course, it is still far from the Xiao Hui described by Yi Kai. The most intuitive point is that she will not replicate herself. Her body, that is, the individual nanorobots need to be manufactured from human nanofactories.

In other words, if a nanorobot is damaged during her operation, it will have to be replenished from a specific nanofactory.

The nanorobots that make up Xiao Hui's body are obviously more advanced than those used as cannon warheads or nanorepair robots. Of course, disposable products with simple intelligence cannot be compared with specially designed things.

In the design data, there are two charging methods for Xiao Hui. One is that she disperses into a gray cloud and bathes in the light of stars, commonly known as basking in the sun. The other is to recharge through base stations or warships in planet orbit.

The second method is its main energy source, which is usually carried out simultaneously during mining.

For example, right now, after Xiao Hui floated into the rocky satellite, the spacecraft she drove past started to activate long-distance microwave directional charging.

In the earth age, this technology is called wireless remote microwave integrated directional charging technology.

This technology has been mature since the earth's era and has been used on a large scale for various on-orbit spacecraft and space solar power stations to transmit power to the ground.

At that time, flower growers built many such devices on the earth, which would be called space-based solar power stations. It consists of many solar panels forming the space power station part, and the receiving end on the ground is composed of a device called a spherical membrane energy collection array.

In general, microwave wireless power transmission technology is a mature technology.

After years of development, humans no longer need such large receiving ends, and their transmission distance has also been greatly improved. The transmitting end of this device is now installed on the spacecraft and can recharge the working Xiaohui at any time.

For Xiao Hui, the next goal of the Academy of Sciences is to develop nanorobots that can replicate themselves, but for now it is just a goal. Evolving into this ultimate form is still a bit far away.

But no matter what, the silver mist-like mining robot has really been realized.

Engineers have roughly calculated that after possessing Xiao Hui, human beings' mining capabilities will be at least a hundred times stronger than before. This is still in the state of a newly completed experimental body.

When humans create more 'bodies' for Xiao Hui in the future, the efficiency will definitely increase.

By then, hollowing out the planet will no longer be a joke. By then, as long as there are enough space docks, humans will be able to produce endless warships just like the legendary mechanical civilization.

Xiaohui's success can be regarded as one of the biggest technological breakthroughs of mankind in the past few decades.

Yes, one.

The technological fusion of the Chiyan Civilization, a civilization far superior to humans in nanotechnology, and the collision of the unreserved ways of thinking of two civilizations at the same level, caused mankind to bloom into the brilliance of a technological explosion in a short period of time. Just like the rapid advancement of technology in modern times.

Such a technological explosion is indeed not enough to bring mankind to the fourth level of civilization, but it will deepen mankind's understanding of technology in the nanometer field and, of course, progress in technology.

There is no doubt that mankind has become a senior level three civilization this time. Human beings don’t know whether it is the pinnacle of a third-level civilization, because no advanced civilization has ever told humans what constitutes the pinnacle of a third-level civilization, but seniority is certain.

After all, as far as mankind knows, the process optimization brought about by all the technologies in the so-called third-level civilization technology tree is the basis for breaking through the fourth-level civilization.

This is the case with mankind's deep cultivation of nanotechnology.

And this kind of deep cultivation has also been reflected in human daily life. The most intuitive one is various nano-products.

After removing the destructive power of decomposing metals and non-metals, the technology of making ash has been applied to many daily necessities.

For example, some transportation tools, such as maglev pedals and single-person maglev motorcycles, previously needed to be parked as finished products, but this is different now.

They can compress themselves into a small suitcase in the form of micro nanorobots. When used again, they only need to give instructions to their programs, and then they can be assembled into their original appearance in the flowing combination of nanorobots.

There are also corresponding nano products for chairs, beds and other supplies in daily life. Even clothing has such nano-products. Dressing and undressing only requires one command, provided you are willing to wear metallic clothes.

The reason is that currently the only products that humans can make are metal alloy-related products, and other things made of non-metallic compounds cannot yet be transformed into nanorobots.

Just think about nanotechnology that can change anything, just like in the movie.

That thing is not just as simple as nanotechnology. Everything can be changed, which means that even chemical elements can be changed. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a wooden table to turn into a cannon after nano-reorganization.

This already involves the technology of changing the nucleon number of matter.

Therefore, various human nano-products today are essentially programmed with their appearance in advance. But even so, its technical content is also very high.

If you are walking in human society and suddenly see someone stretching out his hand and grabbing a cloud of fog as if by magic, and then some common tools or pots and pans appear, it is not that he is doing magic, but its nano-products .

Some time after Xiao Hui appeared, human civilian products received another upgrade, the nano upgrade.

This is true for civilian daily necessities, and a large number of military tools and appliances have been nanosized.

It can be said that in this era, if you don’t have a deformable nano-product, you will be embarrassed to say that you are a human being.
