Chapter 1388: Opportunity
Kim Lian helps the empire, somewhere, the martial arts field.
Humanoid robots have always been frowned upon, and from the early days of the Age of Empires, and even, in the late Age of the Home Planet, when the Empire had not yet been established, there have been people pointing out the absurdity of humanoid robots.
"A machine should be like a machine," the famous saying goes.
Many times, humanoid robots appear in movies simply because of the poverty of imagination and the lack of knowing what the machine should look like when imagining the future. Like the ancient fantasy future, the sedan chair will fly, not the plane will appear. In modern times, the postman delivers letters on a flying carpet instead of delivering the message himself.
Why build a humanoid robot to replace a human to manipulate the machine, instead of directly turning the machine into a robot?
At that time, the joints of humanoid robots and the processing of various computing modes were difficult bottlenecks to overcome. If it's just moving, using thrusters can also allow the robot to reach any point in the room, including going up stairs.
And this way of moving is much less computing space than using the robot movement mode of walking. The extra computing space can be used elsewhere to make the machine smarter.
Later, the passage of the Human Cloning Act made humanoid robots even more unpopular.
The establishment of the empire, the maturity of space leap technology, and the large-scale construction of starships allowed mankind to start a galaxy-level journey in an instant. It's like a village that can only walk, and suddenly one day you find that everyone is driving around, and even the road outside the village has been repaired.
And the spatial jump technology is not at all a comparison between driving and walking, but more like a village of people who suddenly find that everyone can teleport.
The originally bloated home planet suddenly became empty. Those heavy populations, placed in front of the entire galaxy, are very thin, pitifully thin.
It was at that time that the cloning bill was passed, and in order to prevent the terrible prophecies in various films, all clones were clearly marked and had a lifespan of less than five years. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden for any human cloned person to engage in related genetic and biological work.
Funnily enough, the empire thinks too highly of its own cloning technology. If it is just an embryo cloned, it develops in the mother's womb and is born. This clone is healthy, indistinguishable from normal people in every way, and can even be made better by genetic editing.
However, the cloning of mature bodies, the technology of the empire is not yet in place. The survival rate is very high, and the various organs function normally, but they are all mentally retarded.
The Empire passed the Clone Act in order to deal with the rapid growth of the population of various galaxies, so that the empire can expand rapidly, consolidate the foundation, obtain resources, and thus prosper.
Helplessly, this technical bottleneck can only be slowly broken. On the one hand, research on the cloning of mature bodies continues, and on the other hand, breakthroughs are made in embryonic cloning.
There is no need for a mother, and this is a breakthrough in embryonic cloning. Instead of a human mother, a culture chamber is used to simulate the various environments in which the baby grows. Although it still takes nine to ten months to do this, and it still takes more than ten years for a child to grow, the base number of such clones is very large.
There are only so many human mothers, and not all human mothers' bodies can accept this embryonic cloning. Aside from middle-aged and elderly human mothers, how many are left? Even if there is a subsidy, even if it is called for, this is still not a coercive measure.
It's not that when the human race becomes extinct, the seeds of human civilization must be nurtured. Rather, it can be better developed, so that the people of the empire can enjoy life better.
Under this premise, every subject of the empire deserves to be treated well. It can be promoted, it can be promoted, but it cannot be forced. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if a few matriarchal fanatics fanned the flames, causing a large number of deaths or protests?
But the advent of the culture cabin has made it easy. As long as the technology is in place, the cultivation cabin can be built on a large scale. This is true of all science and technology, once a breakthrough is made, once it can be achieved, then nothing can stand in the way of the application of this science and technology.
It doesn't take any luck, and it doesn't need any fairy mercy or anything like that.
There may not be enough cultivation pods in one city, but is there enough in one planet?
It only takes less than a year for the population base of the empire to double in no time.
However, this has made the status of many girls plummet. To make matters worse, the embryonic clones have a lifespan of only thirty years, and the clones are not allowed to have the genes to reproduce. Protections are in place, however, human nature is too slow.
The whole empire is like a little kid who has been given a new toy and can't wait to play. The space transition technology makes the entire sea of stars within reach. Ten years of childhood is too long for an empire.
It's a pity that science and technology are so ruthless that they don't shift because of human will. Even if the people of the whole empire kneel down and pray sincerely, if they can't break through, they can't break through.
Of course, looking back, these years of delay can be regarded as the luck of the empire.
Without a solid foundation, without the corresponding force, just by jumping around with space leap technology, one careless will bring down the empire. Fortunately, we have been delayed by science and technology for so long, and we have "no choice" to consolidate ourselves, and while waiting for a breakthrough in cloning technology, we can only study other aspects.
Later, the cloning technology of mature bodies made a breakthrough, which could ensure the IQ and health of clones while ensuring a lifespan of only five years. The development of neurotechnology has also made the "prenatal education" of clones a reality.
It only takes seven weeks for a full-fledged clone to go from scratch and then stand in front of you for a simple exchange.
In fact, historians believe that this period of history is a mystery. Why did the father of the empire at that time be so obsessed with the science and technology of cloning? Judging from the research and analysis, there was no need for clones to operate machinery, nor did they need clones to dig coal or the like.
Turning machines into robots by turning them into robots will also allow the empire to grow. Fully automated, fully intelligent, the empire has the technical foundation in this regard.
This is the unsolved mystery, like many unsolved mysteries in history, there are many theories, but none of them can be accepted by the public, none of them can be written into textbooks. Perhaps, it is the desire to be accompanied, perhaps, it is the God of mankind that is at work, maybe, it is just the obsession of the father of the empire, etc.
"So, why did the Yuan family study humanoid robots?" Lin tilted her head in the pink individual soldier equipment, looking very cute, "Yes, I really haven't seen too many humanoid robots yet." ”
Brother Dao: "That's because ...... There you go!"
A trail suddenly appears on the helmets of the two men, like a navigation icon, and is highlighted at the target location.
"Quick!"
Brother Dao followed the trajectory shown on the helmet and began to run.
And One-legged also seemed to have discovered Brother Dao's movements, and he was instantly distracted.
The light of the knife flashed, and blood adhered to the Tang knife.
One-footed, injured.
