Standing at the observation point, you can see smoke rising from the Kilauea crater at an altitude of 1,280 meters, and occasionally bright magma is mixed in and ejected in wisps. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Viewed from the helicopter, the entire crater looks like a cauldron with many small cauldrons in it, forming a vast magma lake. The surface of the lake, which is nearly a kilometer in diameter, shoots out magma fountains several meters high from time to time, like colorful sparks, gorgeous and colorful.

On the other side of the mountain, not far from the sea. The lava that flows out of the lava lake slowly cools down the potholed black soil and eventually flows into the sea, expanding the land area of the island of Hawaiʻi.

As the lava overflows, the temperature continues to drop, and the extremely thermophilic bacteria attached to it will also be destroyed or even die as the temperature drops.

So in order to collect a complete sample of the microbiota, the robot had to go as far as possible to the crater.

The robot teams of the five laboratories crossed the observation line one after another, and the helicopters immediately took to the air, tracking their respective robot teams in a low-altitude attitude to the heart of the crater.

In the helicopter with the Kiku logo on it, Eliza still made a dedicated introduction: "Ladies and gentlemen, now we notice that five robot teams are meandering forward. For the first 500 meters, there was basically no flowing lava, and each robot team traveled normally. ”

“…… However, we can notice that the Tianyu intelligent robot that set off at the end is already far ahead, leaving the other robot teams far behind. And we found that Tianyu intelligent robots have the most load, and they seem to bring a lot of equipment, what these devices are used for, I believe we will understand later. ”

“…… Oh buy high, in the robot team of Oak Ridge, two robots have unfortunately fallen. As you can see, the robot has been trying to stand up, but unfortunately, it has not succeeded. The helicopter is rapidly approaching, and the control engineers on it are urgently intervening and adjusting the ......"

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, Eliza has made a major discovery. Of the five robot teams, only the Tianyu intelligent robot team is unmanned tracking intervention, and the other four are all equipped with engineers to track the whole process. ”

Observation point station.

Dr. Feynman and the other lab leaders were all nervously looking through the binoculars to observe the latest movements of the collection robots. Only Wu Tao sat down with a relaxed face, tasting the coffee that Mia offered him.

In fact, Feynman has been paying attention not to the movement of Google robots, but to the situation of Tianyu robots.

He really couldn't understand why Wu Tao let the robot carry so many loads and equipment, isn't it just a simple task of collecting bacteria, could it be that there are other cats?

Crossing the 500-meter cordon, the Kiku TV helicopter suddenly rose up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the on-site control by the control engineer, one of the robots in Oak Ridge still failed to regain its balance and had to quit the mission."

"There is a 500-meter cordon ahead, and the lava on the ground is clearly visible. As you can see, the Tianyu collection robot team was the first to cross the cordon, and the other four were still 300 meters away. This feeling is like the gap between special forces and children! Is this the power of artificial intelligence? ”

On the helicopter piloted by Simon, a group of Japanese technicians were observing the movements of the Tianyu robot in amazement.

"Have you noticed that the road conditions of the Tianyu robots are more complicated than those of other robot detachments, but they are the fastest!"

"Yo Xi, the Tianyu robot has entered the danger zone full of lava. Look, the route they are taking, every step has been carefully calculated, the feet are very accurate, and the speed does not stop. It seems that the robot vision system that integrates 3D environment model reconstruction technology is simply perfect! ”

"Nani! Even small landslides can be successfully avoided, which is so smart! ”

"Look, twenty intelligent robots are divided into ten groups, and the routes are different!"

At the same time, Dr. Feynman also noticed the grouping actions of the Tianyu robots in the telescope.

'Acting in groups? Dr. Feynman's face was puzzled: "In this dangerous environment, let the robots act in groups, the success rate of collection will inevitably be affected, does he not know?" ’

The next moment, I saw the last group of intelligent multi-legged robots parked by a stable lava river. One of the robots took out a special titanium-plated shovel and quickly dug a small pit against the river. Another robot pulled out a thick titanium alloy plate and blocked it between the small pit and the river.

Then put a quartz high-temperature pot in the small pit, pour a sample of pure water, and then open the special hole door on the titanium alloy plate, a trace of fiery red lava immediately flowed into the quartz high-temperature pot, and the special hole door was closed immediately.

A small amount of hot lava collided with the water sample, making a thumping explosion, and the quartz cauldron immediately became steaming. The collection robot quickly takes out the test tube for sampling, and finally puts it into the sample box at constant temperature and pressure.

Dr. Feynman, who was watching through the telescope, didn't really see all this, he just vaguely felt that the two robots were working well together, and seemed to be doing something according to the steps!

Could it be the pre-treatment of the microbiota sample?

The more Dr. Feynman thought about it, the more he felt that this judgment was highly likely, because he saw through the telescope that the Tianyu robot had taken out water samples, test tubes, and other equipment.

The pretreatment of microbiota samples can undoubtedly improve the success rate of obtaining microbiota and provide a more reliable guarantee for subsequent studies. For example, a variety of pure water samples with different pH levels are used to remove the flora attached to the high-temperature lava, which can ensure the comprehensiveness of the surviving flora samples to the greatest extent.

Picking up the binoculars again, Dr. Feynman looked over, and sure enough! The last group of robots did not go too far and continued the steps of sampling and pre-treatment of the microbiota in the nearby river.

On the other hand, the robot detachments of other laboratories have not yet broken through the 500-meter cordon, and have broken down one after another, resulting in non-task attrition.

A helicopter from Kiku TV is taking a close-up of the sampling and pre-processing process of the Tianyu robot.

"It turns out that they are all carrying all kinds of experimental equipment and equipment!"

"It's amazing, ladies and gentlemen, they're like three-headed and six-armed humans, methodically experimenting in such a hostile environment, aren't they?"

At the same time, on the helicopter piloted by Simon, a group of Japanese personnel had already rushed to the side to watch every precise operation and step of the Tianyu robot below.

"Nani, is this a robot that can do experiments?"

"I think so!"

"It seems that Tianyu Robot not only has an advanced vision system, but also an excellent artificial intelligence system!"

Half an hour later, Dr. Feynman stood stunned, listening to his engineer's report.

"Dr. Feynman, of the ten robots sent by Google, eight of them were scrapped during the mission, only two were intact, and two microbiota samples were brought back, of which only one was valid."

"What about the other labs?"

"The robots at Oak Ridge are all out of order and have not been able to bring back samples of the microbiota."

"MIT's spider bot failed to collect a sample of the microbiota."

"Lawrence Berkeley's octopus robot failed to bring back a sample of the microbiota."

"All the robots in the Future Biology Laboratory have successfully returned and successfully collected 140 microbiota samples at 10 different collection points, and all the samples are complete and valid!"

Dr. Feynman's throat suddenly became very dry, and he looked at Wu Tao, who was showing the microflora sample to Kiku TV next to him, and his heart was full of bitterness.

Just a small task of collecting microbiota samples failed like this. It seems that Tianyu's artificial intelligence platform is not comparable to Google's crude artificial intelligence system at all.

A successful AI must have the ability to recognize and judge autonomously, be able to respond to routine dangerous situations, complete pre-set tasks step by step, and have the ability to learn from itself.

These key characteristics are obviously not something that a pseudo-artificial intelligence that relies on cloud computing and big data can do!

The gap, this is the gap in technology!

Thinking of this, Feynman suddenly realized that in this unfair scientific research competition, can he, as the party with many people, really win the final victory? For the first time, Feynman's psyche wavered.
