27 nanobots

Wang Chen slowly put down the PDA, glanced at the time, and realized that he had been focusing on the "Star Project 4.0" for almost ninety minutes. To his surprise, Mike still sat there motionless, and if he hadn't had his eyes open, he would have been mistaken for falling asleep.

"What are you doing?" Wang Chen asked.

"Meditation." Mike replied, his body still still.

"Meditate on what?" Wang Chen asked.

"Concentrate and come up with new control commands."

"Aren't you eliminated? Why bother thinking about it? Wang Chen spoke quickly, and after asking, he realized that this was a bit rude.

"I'm going to do something to prove myself." Mike's tone didn't change, it seemed that he didn't care, Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Chen felt that he needed to change the topic quickly, so he asked, "Tell me what a nanobot is." Mike raised his head and didn't answer, just when Wang Chen thought he would let himself go to the PDA to find the answer again, Mike spoke-

"Do you know about magnetic microrobots? That's it, a single individual is nano-scale, and it can be combined into any shape by manual or AI intelligent remote control - the default setting is the shape of a human. ”

Wang Chen knows that "magnetic microrobots" are not a new thing, as early as the beginning of the 21st century, some countries began to develop them, and China is also one of the participating countries. So he asked a technical question: "But how to mass produce seems to be a problem...... Did you understand? ”

"With 3D printers, one to ten per second, the size is small and the production is fast."

"That makes up a human form...... Don't you need 6 by 10 nanobots to the 25th power? Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh at the huge size of this order of magnitude, and repeatedly calculated in his heart, presumably each "capsule" must carry at least ten units...... No, a hundred 3D printers can meet the rate at which nanobots replenish the number of consumption. He was curious about how many nanobots were in each of the 50 groups mentioned in the "Stars Project 4.0".

Mike's words interrupted Wang Chen's thinking: "No, when combining, the inside is hollow, and if you keep your shape, you can exert the corresponding strength." ”

"Oh!" Wang Chenru reacted suddenly, "If it is hollow, it can also be filled with chemicals, and then it can be transformed into a common gunpowder weapon......"

"Clever!" Mike looked up in appreciation.

"Thank you, it seems that I guessed correctly......" Wang Chen was about to continue, when the AI announcement in the room sounded: "Please all the members gather in the public cabin in an hour to announce something important." ”

Mike looked at the clock, stood up mechanically, and said, "You're free to move." Then he left without a single superfluous word. Wang Chen picked up his PDA, walked to the hatch and stopped, as if he was going to hold some important ceremony, he straightened his collar and took steps out of the hatch.

For those who enter the hibernation chamber, it is just a sleep, but for others, it is really three years. Wang Chen thought that this one-sided "reunion" scene would be a little embarrassing, but he was too worried, most people greeted him in a very ordinary way, if it weren't for the extra sentence of "long time no see" in the greeting, Wang Chen almost didn't feel like he had slept for three years, and among the non-hibernators, only Ryan Booker kept chattering in his ear about the new events of the past three years.

"After many N-star technology was transmitted back to Earth, there was really a significant leap in some fields, and the biggest benefit for us was the improvement of spacecraft materials and fuel, I heard that it was replaced with a kind of nuclear fuel without radiation, and it would work continuously for tens of thousands of years, and the materials would not be broken. It now takes only about 150 days for the Earth to orbit Jupiter at the earliest, and it seems that a spacecraft that can travel back and forth between Earth and Minerva is being built, and there will be no need to hibernate all the way as long as you have enough food......

"Have you ever seen a nanobot? It's amazing indeed! But I think it's a pirated version of the idea of a Marvel animated movie, and then put it out to give people a kind of 'Ahh It's finally realized, but the thought of using this good thing as a weapon always gives me the feeling that something good is being used by a villain......

"Earth didn't use N-star technology to develop other weapons, which is a wise move, since traditional methods can't intercept the invincible Nt fleet, there is no need to invest too much in useless places. So a lot of spaceships have been built, and if they really can't withstand this crisis, they can evacuate a lot of people, and they can evacuate 100,000 people, which is really cruel for those billions of lives, but this is also a helpless move......

"Well, Wang, do you want to come and see the nanobots?"

"Okay!" Chatter is actually not bad.

Wang Chen followed Ryan to his cabin, and on the way he met Gao Jie and several members, who only briefly greeted each other and hurried off to their respective affairs.

"She doesn't look very energetic." Wang Chen said.

"High, she's not in particularly good shape," Ryan said, "and you're lucky that none of the people who woke up from this hibernation are in good shape." She was rescued for three days, and God willing, she survived. ”

"It's horrible."

"There's nothing to worry about anymore...... Come and check this out. Ryan said and took out a small transparent box and placed it on the table, "This is a nanobot, the standard name is 'intelligent magnetic microrobot'." ”

Wang Chen looked at the transparent box the size of a lunch box on the table, it had a white bottom plate about 1 cm thick, and the whole looked like a handicraft display box, but there was nothing in the box.

"Where's the robot?" Wang Chen asked puzzled.

Ryan raised his eyebrows and smiled, took out another game console controller, and pressed one of the buttons - in an instant, a small black figure appeared in the center of the box!

"This is—" Wang Chen didn't expect it, and then observed it from all angles, "This is not a holographic projection...... Is it really a combination of tens of thousands of nanobots? ”

"That's right!" Ryan replied dryly, "When in standby, these invisible nanobots are scattered all over the box, including the gas, so the box looks empty, and once activated, they will merge into this human form." Then you need to move this-" Ryan said, handing the handle to Wang Chen, "You can control it." ”

Wang Chen took the handle and moved the joystick on the handle, and saw that the little black man in the box was flexibly moving forward, backward, left and right in the direction of the joystick, and was even able to walk vertically along the glass side wall.

"Why black?" Wang Chen asked.

"Because it's organic, it can't be dyed, and together they are harder than ordinary steel."

"No wonder resources need to be gathered to make ...... But in this way, resources are easy to find, and the bodies of plants, animals, and even people ......."

"Try a different button." Ryan prompted. Wang Chen tried to press the other buttons as he said, and the little black man also took various poses—jumping, dancing, and swinging his fists...... Live like a child's remote control toy.

"Will this be broken?"

"Destroying it with enough force will cause it to disintegrate, but it can be reassembled and new ones can be produced...... It can be controlled remotely or by AI, so the best way to destroy it is to start with the remote. ”

"But it's a toy." Wang Chen said a little mockingly, returning the handle to Ryan, and the moment the latter pressed the switch button, the little black man disappeared.

"Of course, it's a toy." Ryan shrugged and said, "There is also a kind of ...... that can appear at the same time for people to use for people on Earth for recreational use The proceeds from the sale and the corresponding royalties are invested in the construction of spacecraft, each with its own place. ”

"Why in a box?"

"Because the remote control range is limited. Of course, it was deliberately made like this, used on the side of the wormhole, and the remote control range was almost half the area of the world, and the combined human form was larger. ”

"In other words, three 'capsules' can meet the task of 'harvesting' a planet?"

"Bingo! (bingo)," Ryan said, waving his fists, "Looks like you've seen the 4.0 version, so you must know about Savior, right?" ”

"Savior?" Wang Chen was taken aback, "Save the earth?" ”

Wang Chen's reaction made Ryan stunned, but then he reacted: "Oh-oh - it's just a name: Savior." ”

"It's a ...... Person? Wang Chen asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's not right......" Ryan said with some hesitation—

"Sevia...... He's a clone. ”
