Chapter 540: Biomechanical Base

"Commander, have all the technical conditions of the biomechanical base been reached, and can you break away from the main base?" General Hiller looked at Zhou Yu and asked excitedly.

For the expansion of the alien domain, a complete intelligent base will greatly increase the difficulty of colonization, it can be said that the Ark Mothership is a development base, however, in response to the evil environment of the Shui Blue Star after arriving at the Shui Blue Star, the Ark's limited carrying space cannot fully meet the development needs of the base in the colonization process.

Fortunately, they have embarked on the development direction of biochemical machinery, and the development base has also changed, if the biochemical base can adapt to the development of alien systems, then they will officially start the era of interstellar colonization.

The biomechanical base is very different from the simple mechanical base, it has biological and metal elements, and the growth will be simpler than the simple mechanical construction, however, without the technical support of the parent star, it is difficult to combine the artificial brain and the biological base, and the core of the development of the biochemical base - the base intelligent brain has always been a thorny problem that has plagued this project.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu looked at Professor Yang Yi and ordered, "Professor, please introduce us to the progress of the biochemical base." ”

"Okay, Commander. Professor Yang Yi nodded, clicked on the holographic screen a few times, and called up the information of the biochemical base.

I saw that a turtle-shaped spaceship appeared in a holographic screen, and under the operation of Professor Yang Yi, it suddenly landed on a planet, its body began to disintegrate, its limbs contracted to support the 'tortoise shell', and the interior was constantly freely combined, transforming into a small and subtle factory, energy warfare for energy supply, biochemical element chemical factory, biomechanical heavy factory, and collection arsenal,...... , etc., densely packed, although the sparrows are small, they have all five organs. ,

"Commanders, generals, the overall design of the biomechanical base has been completed, and it has an independent self-developing circulation system, with a fusion efficiency of 79% in the biochemical machinery center fusion plant, adapting to known biological elements and metal elements, and the fusion rate is up to 35%,...... Professor Yang Yi looked at everyone and solemnly introduced the parameters of the biomechanical base.

After a pause, Professor Yang Yi looked at General Hiller and said, "However, as General Hiller was worried about, because we can't replicate the birth environment of 'Artificial Intelligence-Zhou Xiaozhi', we can't equip the colonial base with an auxiliary brain, so we have designed another biological brain to cope with the development of the base's self-circulation." ”

"You design a 'bio-brain', and you can't go wrong, right?"

"Professor Yang, is this biological brain very different from Xiaozhi, is there a possibility of rebellion?"

"Professor, is there no other way? Wouldn't this be too dangerous? ”

“……”

After listening to Professor Yang Yi's introduction, everyone was taken aback and nervously asked him.

Seeing this, Professor Yang Yi's face darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but be a little angry when he understood everyone's worries, and said loudly: "Isn't 'Zhou Xiaozhi' running very well! We have done a lot of tests, and the biological intelligence brain can fully meet the development of the living base, and there will be no problems." ”

Hearing this, everyone glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.

'Zhou Xiaozhi' is Zhou Xiaozhi, and there have been no problems so far, that's because it is the product of Zhou Xing's design, and it can be the same!

Because it was Zhou Xing, everyone naturally didn't have too many doubts, but ,...... ,

Everyone looked at Professor Yang Yi and was very uneasy.

"Professor Yang, is your biological brain designed according to Mr. Zhou's two criteria and variables, and can you ensure that it is the same as 'Zhou Xiaozhi'?"

"The test is fine, it doesn't mean that there will be no problem in the future, it's better to be safe!"

"Professor, we already have Zhou Xiaozhi, we shouldn't risk using other artificial brains, if there is a problem, the consequences will be very serious!"

“……”

As soon as Professor Yang Yi's words fell, everyone refuted Professor Yang Yi's assumptions.

I didn't expect that my hard work would be buried like this, Professor Yang Yi was trembling with anger, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and asked: "Commander, the biological intelligence brain can perfectly assist in the development of the biological base, if it is not suitable, I will never push it out." ”

Zhou Yu frowned, after listening to the objections of so many people, he couldn't help but feel very embarrassed, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time.

Seeing Zhou Yu's hesitant appearance, Professor Yang Yi couldn't help but be angry.

"Professor, can't you use Ash's doppelganger? Zhou Yu looked at Professor Yang Yi and asked.

Hearing this, Professor Yang Yi was depressed, why didn't he want to do this, copying a copy of the 'Zhou Xiaozhi' core architecture is much simpler than redesigning an intelligent system, but the problem is that the hardware used in Zhou Xiaozhi's core processing is far more difficult than the manufacturing technology they have mastered.

Even though they had been working on this device for more than a hundred years, due to the lack of technology in the colony base, and the transformation of the technology tree into a biomechanic, they could not replicate this cutting-edge device.

"No, Zhou Xiaozhi's core equipment is a top-level mechanical creation, and we don't have that kind of production process now. Professor Yang Yi said angrily.

Zhou Yu frowned, his head was big, he once again felt the strength of his father, since the interstellar colonization, most of the problems that need to be overcome in the field of scientific research have been faced, especially in the unfamiliar field of biomachinery, if the father is in charge, it will definitely be another scene now.

"Professor, if you use the biological brain to preside over the colony base, is there a chance that it will get out of control?" Zhou Yu stared at Professor Yang Yi and asked seriously.

"The biological brain we designed has passed Zhou Xiaozhi's deduction and acceptance, and the probability of getting out of control is very small, less than 1 in 100 million. Professor Yang Yi looked at Zhou Xing and said solemnly.

"Hmm!" Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, looked at the holographic screen, and asked Zhou Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, is that so?"

"Yes, Commander, Professor Yang Yi's research biological brain is not yet intelligent life in the true sense, and the probability of giving birth to autonomous consciousness is very small. Zhou Xiaozhi showed his face from the holographic screen and confirmed.

"Hmm, can the biological brain assist the base in completing the colonization plan?" Zhou Xing nodded and asked puzzled.

"Commander, the biological intelligence brain designed by Professor Yang Yi has biological habits, it can develop and grow itself according to 'instinct', and use the most reasonable and optimal mode of development without independent consciousness, and at the same time, fully accept orders from the main base!" Zhou Xiaozhi replied.

"That's right!" Professor Yang Yi nodded happily and looked at Zhou Yu in detail: "Commander, this 'biomass brain' is different from an electronic computer, a photonic computer, it uses biomechanical materials to make a CPU similar to neurons, simulating the structure of a biological brain,......。 ”

"This biological brain completely mimics the brain of a living organism, has a specific organizational structure, can regulate and exchange substances with the outside world, has a certain ability to adapt to the environment, and perceives and regulates through biological neurons,...... and eventually form an organic system. ”

"For example, the human brain has 8.6 billion neurons, if the brain is compared to a computer, then each neuron is equivalent to a CPU, these CPUs are responsible for receiving information, making responses, and then transmitting the results to complete various human behaviors,...... The difference between this bio-intelligent brain and the human brain is that the information processing mechanism, the stress environment, and the environmental data collection feedback,...... , etc., the subsystems are all analog architectures, and they do not have the environmental system that produces a higher consciousness, do not have the ability to learn and evolve themselves, and at most they are as smart as 'dogs', so they don't have to worry about it getting out of control at all. Professor Yang Yi looked at the crowd and finally concluded.

"Everyone heard it, right? What other questions do you have?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile as he looked at everyone.

"No, since it has been reviewed by Ash, then let's arrange it like this!"

"Yes, yes, Professor Yang, I should have explained it earlier!"

“……”

Professor Yang Yi's introduction was very professional, and there were some places that they couldn't understand, but they could believe the data deduced by Zhou Xiaozhi! Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and agreed.

Professor Yang Yi was speechless for a while when he saw everyone's reaction, and he was extremely melancholy.

"The biological base can be sure that there is no problem, then next, we will determine the first colony star. Zhou Yu looked at everyone and spoke.

After a pause, Zhou Yu looked at Professor Smith and asked, "Professor Smith, could you please introduce those wormholes that can be used to determine the life stars suitable for interstellar colonization." ”

Professor Smith nodded, and the holographic screen was dotted to bring up a large cosmic star map.

Professor Smith circled the galaxies and clicked on one of them to zoom in on the image.

Soon, a moving galaxy appeared above the conference table, and the huge star dragged its mouth with a dozen planets orbiting it, scurrying towards its established orbit.

"This is the Tiel 452-b galaxy, this galaxy is 217 light years away from us, this star is a little darker than the sun, its fifth planet is located in the habitable zone, this planet is about 21% smaller than our water blue star, it has a rocky structure, it has liquid water on its surface, it has an atmosphere, the orbital period is a bit short, only 171.2 days, and the disadvantages: its temperature is a bit low, between minus 90-20 degrees,......。 Professor Smith looked at Zhou Xing and introduced.

After a pause, Professor Smith clicked on another galaxy and introduced: "This is the Geya 667C-galaxy, this galaxy is 1407 light-years away from us, its ninth planet is located in the habitable zone, this planet is about 65% larger than our water blue star, the orbital period is 175.1 days, compared with the Tiel 452-b star minus 90-30 degrees, this planet is like spring all year round, the only drawback is that it is almost a Mercury, only a little land. ”

It didn't take long for Professor Smith to change another planet on the holographic screen, and he continued to introduce as he watched everyone: "This is the Meiya 186f galaxy, this galaxy is 3189 light-years away from us, its sixth planet is located in the habitable zone, the surface temperature is about 5 °C, this planet has 85% similarity to our parent planet, Earth, and has a near-Earth satellite,......。 ”

“……”

In a wide variety of cases, Professor Smith presented more than a dozen suitable immigrants at the conference.

Everyone was collectively stunned, these planets have their own characteristics and flaws, and they are dazzled to find a suitable colonization star among so many planets.

It has the most abundant mineral resources, and the climate and environment are not bad, which is the most suitable for the development of life bases. General Hiller suggested.

"It should be a beauty planet, which is highly similar to our home planet and also has extraterrestrial life, which is more suitable for immigration. Professor Yang Yi interjected.

"No, no, the American star is too far away, you should choose Molka Star, this planet also has water resources, the temperature is also suitable, and the distance is suitable,......。 Before Professor Yang could speak, he was interrupted by another professor.

"The conditions of the Molka star are too bad,......"

“……”

With a bang, the conference room seemed to be transformed into a vegetable market, where everyone scrambled to express their opinions, put forward various opinions, and choose the planet they fancied.

The heated controversy continued for a long time without the slightest tendency to stop.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing! After the meeting, you make a report to me, and we will admit the best candidates!" Zhou Yu interrupted the controversy.

Zhou Yu looked at everyone and added: "After the success of the first colonization star, we have not continued to colonize other planets, and your report will not be wasted." ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

Everyone was stunned and gladly agreed.

Soon, this important meeting came to an end, and everyone was inexplicably excited, and they all hung about the colony star.

At this moment, everyone's hearts are on fire, once the interstellar colonization plan is successfully launched, human civilization will usher in a more glorious era, and they who participated in this plan will be recorded in history textbooks and will be famous for eternity.

After the meeting, Zhou Yu returned to the command room and began the next work.

On the holographic screen of the command table, there were various documents waiting for approval, and although Zhou Xiaozhi was assisting him in handling affairs, he still needed to go through them.

The Ark Project has been carried out for more than a hundred years, and now they have completely settled in the water blue star, and the human population has swelled to 500 million, with the passage of time, showing a rapid increase trend, and the things under the jurisdiction of the government are becoming more and more onerous.

"Commander, do you need me to make you a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue?" Looking at Zhou Yu, who was working at the desk, Zhou Xiaozhi asked with concern.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Forget about the tea, the tea is not refreshing enough, make me a cup of strong coffee!"

"Okay, Commander, however, you've been working for 7 hours in a row, so please rest early, the work is too busy!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, looked at Zhou Yu and proposed.

"yes, a long battle. ”

Zhou Yu sighed heavily, originally his dream was to become an interstellar commander, however, looking at his current life, it was an endless government affair and development plan, which was completely contrary to the adventure he originally longed for, and the life on the battlefield that he longed for.

Soon, there was a crisp sound of footsteps, accompanied by a strong aroma of coffee, and a small robot with a steaming cup of freshly ground coffee approached him.

Zhou Yu drank the coffee that Zhou Xiaozhi made for him, and continued to work energetically.
