Spore Story

Chapter 834 Prelude to the Robot Era
==========
The friend-like side comes quickly.

At noon the next day, they were still organizing the new friends to perform their respective abilities, so that after the initial running-in between the two sides, they could come up with a race suitable for the Blue Moon Friends who specialize in individual strength mode, and go to the composition of the troops Bai Nong and others in this way discovered the team of friend-like people sneaking in from outside the mountain through their mental power. (Because a base was wiped out yesterday, the surrounding Zerg became very active.)
This time, the number of the other party was not large, only a dozen or so, and it seemed that they were acting secretly.It's just that most of them are not acquaintances to Bai Nong and others, but fortunately Lan Chu is still among them.

"Bai Min, go over and receive them. Bei Ming continues to form the team. I'll go to see the construction progress of the mechanical station."

"Okay, brother."

"Yes, Captain."

After Bainong gave such instructions, he turned and walked towards the area where the machinery factory and machinery station were mainly built.

After passing through the security corridor that the energy bodies have worked so hard to build in the past few days, a group of buildings have appeared in front of him.Yesterday, when the friends visited, the three assembly lines of the mechanical station had actually been set up.Then after a night of debugging, it was fully operational at this time.

The energy body basically does not need sleep without consuming too much mental power, and its efficiency is countless times higher than that of ordinary friends.

Not to mention the artificial brain production line, which was built in advance some time ago, and is still steadily producing sophisticated 1C-level artificial brains.

The Pengzu refers to the brain levels of the biological world for the classification of the artificial brains they created. In the 1C level, '1' means that the basic level of the brain is the first level, which is almost the level of insects, and it also refers to the level of thinking; 'C' means that the computing power and speed exceed the level of the first-level brain. The closer to the secondary brain.In fact, the main representatives of the group of friends have improved it several times.

At present, the technical level of the Pengzu has reached the limit of '1E' level, and it is still impossible to make an artificial brain that reaches the level of the second-level brain of ordinary mammals. It can only work hard on the calculation speed (computing power) and information storage capacity, so Only then did the numbers 1C, 1D, and 1E appear.

But now, a 1C-level brain is the standard configuration of the core base.

Before this production line was put into production, the productivity of both the mineral factory and the machinery factory was maintained at a low level. That was because each factory had only two 1B-level artificial brains brought over to control it, and could not produce at full speed.After the 1C-level artificial brain production line is put into production, each factory can place an average of ten artificial brains, and the limited development will change from control to the number of mechanical worker ants.

Today, two robotic production lines are in operation.

In the mechanical station, the robot production line is busy. It is said that there are two, but it refers to the production of two kinds of finished products, but in fact the production line is divided into one big, two small and three.

Standing inside the factory building, looking at the layers of production lines that have been optimized for space utilization, the largest one, from the initial part, is the separate manufacturing areas for the head, chest, and abdomen; and then through the operation of the assembly line, the production line will The finished product is transported to the assembly area, the three parts are assembled separately, and then the limbs and shell are installed to become a bare-bones mechanical ant; after that, the robot that roughly has a mechanical ant body is transported back Go to the debugging area for the initial program input and debugging of the artificial brain.

The job of the main line is this.

At this time, the finished mechanical ants are just the simplest chassis modules, which can only do some work such as automatic walking and automatic energy replenishment.

After the debugging is completed, the mechanical ants will be transported to one of the other two production lines according to the requirements, or install external components and programs for mineral collection to become mechanical workers; or install combat weapons and corresponding combat programs to become mechanical soldiers Ants, it depends on the choice of the controller.

This is the main mode of operation in the mechanical station.

"At the current production speed, a mechanical depot can produce thirty 1C-level artificial brains and 25 mechanical ants every day. If it is faster, we can only build a few more mechanical depots, but I don't know how mineral factories and mechanical Can the factory keep up?"

Beside Bai Nong, the head of the mechanical station who only needs one person to stay behind because of the expansion of the artificial brain, and an energy body attendant of the moon landing team, is describing the situation here to him in this way.

"If we just protect ourselves and wait for the main force of Shuangyue in the future, then the existing data is enough. It is best to build the control center and communication center immediately, and apply for better module blueprints from Shuangyuexing. However, if we want to help Lanyue friends build up their force as soon as possible, maybe we need to consider expanding the mineral factory, machinery factory and mechanical station, or even open a few sub-bases like the Zerg."

"Don't think about the more advanced blueprints. The things here are basically all of their inventory," Bai Nong shattered the other party's fantasy: "The core base research team may expand after gaining experience from us and Baiyue, but It is also impossible to come up with better things in just a few days, you must know that the combined use of robots and artificial brains is the first time in our friends."

"I just hope that the speed can be accelerated. If we can use this to have the same manufacturing speed as the Zerg, then there will be no worries," the energy body attendant looked forward to.

Bai Nong: "Yes."

The design of artificial brains and robots may become the greatest invention in the history of the two-moon friends who have always been limited by the population or the number of workers. I just hope they don't get out of control, Bai Nong thinks so.

Having said that, the friends of the friends are obviously not as worried as Bai Nong.

Even the illusory fantasy with the clearest human memory, facing the problem of the population of friends and the many benefits brought by the combination of robots and artificial brains in the core base, has already thrown away the so-called "robot riot" science fiction story the back of the head.It would be a fool not to use something good, not to mention using machines instead of friends to fight and face danger, any friend would be willing.

When Bai Nong stood in the newly built mechanical station, discussing with the energy body servants the next step of the development of the friend base in the Blue Moon, Kong Huan stood in the G09 where the research group of the "core base" was expanded and moved to the mechanical industry. In a certain experimental base in the industrial area, I listened to the leader of the research team and the Prime Minister of Israel on the podium... Cough cough, slip of the tongue, speech in the friend salon.

"...During decades of civilization history, our friends have created a glorious past. It took us 50 years to develop from the most primitive tribal era to the current level of civilization that is about to break through the universe.

However, for many years, we have been plagued by a problem, and that is population.

But in fact, population is only a general concept.To be clear, our biggest problem is actually a serious shortage of workers to supply the factories.In short, a lack of productivity.We have excellent scientific and technological strength, a huge scientific research team, and countless technological accumulations, but we do not have enough productivity to transform these good things into combat effectiveness, development capabilities, and overall strength.

The emergence of standardization, assembly lines, and centralized production has alleviated the deterioration of this problem to a certain extent, so we have had a glorious decade and have developed into the strongest race on the Double Moon Star.

However, with the development of technology, these methods have been unable to meet the needs of the times.

However, our clever friends quickly developed a moon spirit breeding base, and once again alleviated our big problem of population shortage by mass breeding of moon spirits who are equally smart but most suitable as skilled workers and soldiers , and further pushed the entire friend clan into the sky age, becoming the overlord of Double Moon Star.

However, the population problem exists after all, and it has only been alleviated.

No matter how good the Moon Spirit people are, they are still a civilized race.Although they are loyal and reliable, they will never be able to use as many tools as they want, and use them however they want. Even if they are willing, we uphold the moral values ​​of civilization and are unwilling to do so.

The emergence of the artificial brain has reduced the role of the Moonlings to a certain extent, and the automated production line that has emerged in conjunction with the artificial brain has increased the productivity of our family dozens of times in an instant, almost solving our productivity problem.

But that's not enough!
Folks, it's really not enough!

The future of our friends is the universe, but with a population of hundreds of thousands, even the double moon stars cannot occupy it, so how can we talk about the development of the universe!
At this time, the combination of the artificial brain and the brain-computer of the automated production line has shown us a new path.

So now, the population problem finally has a more perfect solution.

That is - mechanical life! "

I don't know why Sharon called it 'life', but Kong Huan could see that the surrounding government officials and even the elders who were listening to the speech of the research team leader were very satisfied with this attitude.They have been troubled by this problem for a long time, and they don't mind the existence that can solve the core problem of the friends to some extent. They generously call it "life", which is just a name anyway.

And following Sharon's explanation, nine mechanical ants slowly but firmly walked out from the building behind him.

Here is an open field, so the appearance of these ants is not crowded.Unlike the two types of ants in the core base that were built for the fast war base thinking, although the several ants that appear here all look similar to the chassis, they not only have different functions, but also vary in size.

According to the description in the salon and the demonstration of the ants, the nine types of mechanical ants that appear here alone can be divided into three categories: worker ants for mineral collection, worker ants for excavation and construction, and worker ants for dangerous positions.On the contrary, the military soldier ants did not appear. According to the answer from a member of the military academy when they asked, this is because the soldier ants are not suitable for the use of the friend army, and now they are discussing the design for the future universe. Robots used in warships and robots used as weapons have not yet been specifically designed.

This of course caused dissatisfaction from the Military Academy, but the design of the core base is a complete war building, and it has been judged to be very practical, so the Military Academy will not do things that harm others because of personal grievances.

The salon on the stage was in high spirits.

Originally, he was just an ordinary assistant researcher, but after nearly a year, he is now able to stand in front of the senior management of the entire friend clan and talk freely.At the beginning, he only expected to become a formal researcher, but now he has begun to want his research to affect more aspects.

Desires, or ambitions, only expand with the continuous improvement of status.

Thinking of this, he sent a grateful expression to Kong Huan in the audience, and Kong Huan responded with an encouraging smile.

At this time, Kong Huan gradually figured out the reason why Sharon did this.

"The core base is ultimately limited to the military field. You want to use the combination of artificial brains and machinery to design robots to enter the civilian population, so as to expand your influence from the military to the civilian population, and then to the entire friend clan field." ?"

He came to such a conclusion, but lacked evidence.

But even if it proves something, Kong Huan will not do anything. After all, Sharon's actions are beneficial to his friends, so it is only natural for him to pursue some personal things.

In the square, nine mechanical ants are still performing their own performances.
