Chapter 43: Dreams: The Missing Cube
Du Qiu remembered very well that in the scene he saw in his dream last night, the position in his field of vision should be a huge multi-layered cube.
Du Qiu recalled that each multi-layered cube should have twelve layers.
At the time, he thought that like other cube buildings, there would be no signs, so there was no focus.
I didn't expect these cubes to be gone, how were they transported?
There were no traces on the dark cyan metal around them, and there were no traces on the surface of the planet around the square.
Could it be that the aliens just hoisted the cube out of the air?
Thinking about the technological level of aliens, it seems that this is not a difficult task.
Du Qiu thought as he looked around, and saw that not far from the clearing, there was a multi-storey cube building.
Du Qiu took a closer look and found that it was different from the disappearing multi-layered cube.
He made a subtle observation through the visible light perception subsystem and found that the thin line between the layers on the surface of the building was much thinner than the line in the memory of the disappearing multi-layered cube.
Now it looks as if the thin line was painted on the exterior wall of the building.
But in my memory, the multi-layered cube that disappeared not only has thick layer lines, but also seems to have regular changes in high and low.
This made Du Qiu judge that the disappearing multi-layered cubes should be stacked one by one.
Thinking about it this way, Du Qiu recalled that there were as many as twelve layers of multi-layered cubes missing.
Each single-layer cube is very huge, Du Qiu thought about it, if this thing is elongated into a cuboid and then reduced by 8-10 times, it will be a bit like a shipping container from Blue Star.
Hey, isn't this a container for an alien civilization?
Du Qiu suddenly thought that if it was really a container, it would be easy to understand why they were missing, it must have been transported away by aliens.
If so, is this just a freight yard?
If you think that this steel jungle may be a production base for an alien civilization, then what is produced will definitely have to be shipped away.
Just now, I was thinking that these things were airlifted away by aliens.
It's just that there is not the slightest trace left, which is really amazing.
Thinking about it like this, Du Qiu found that there was no road in the short distance of 3 kilometers between the super machine and the steel jungle.
As if the two had nothing to do with each other, this bothered Du Qiu at the beginning.
Now, Du Qiu has a guess, alien civilizations probably come and go from the sky, if this huge open space is a cargo yard, then the existing buildings around it should always be similar to the airport dispatching and docking facilities of Blue Star, right?
The more he thought about it, the more excited Du Qiu became, and began to carefully observe and identify the buildings around the clearing.
Unfortunately, he didn't find any signs of airport-like facilities in any of the buildings, such as communication towers, such as airport corridors......
None of the same.
However, the buildings around this area are all cube buildings with no signs.
Perhaps the way of cargo of alien civilizations is beyond their imagination, and people don't need to be as complicated as Blue Star Airport or Dock at all.
Du Qiu didn't know how strong the planet's gravitational pull was, but without an atmosphere, it would at least allow the spacecraft to fall to the ground easily.
With the technological level of an alien civilization, it is certainly not difficult to take off and land vertically, but Du Qiu can conclude that the alien civilization is definitely not using the current way of turning the engine nozzle downwards in the United States, so as to cancel the gravitational force for landing.
In that case, there would have been burns from engine jets on the ground.
Unless the dark cyan metal used by the alien civilization has extremely strong resistance to high temperatures, it can not even leave a trace.
As soon as he thought of this metal material, Du Qiu did not plan to explore the matter of these disappearing cubes again, but used his limited dream time to study the material.
Unless one day I can completely hide from the world and let the perception system of the super machine face this direction and record the situation here.
When you re-enter the dream, you can observe what is going on here.
It would be nice to be able to see alien spaceships and even battleships.
It would be wonderful to be able to acquire the technology to build a spaceship as a result.
It's a man, is there anyone who doesn't like space battleships?
Moreover, in this way, he really has some initiative, otherwise, he will always be passively guarded and will be discovered by aliens sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Du Qiu immediately stopped observing this steel jungle.
His attention was refocused on the supermachine itself, and he wanted to relive the eight catalysts he had documented and how they were used in a variety of material purification procedures.
After all, he had recorded too hastily before, and many details were not checked.
Then, Du Qiu carefully checked the high-speed separator part, especially all the control procedures were carefully memorized.
This is another key part of the new material production process.
It is a matter of whether it can be successfully imitated in reality, Du Qiu does not dare to completely hope for dream memory, he wants to take the initiative to strengthen the memory of details.
In the process of studying this part of the program, Du Qiu was deeply impressed by the ingenious design, and the operation of this part of the function of the machine fully reflects the beauty of machine control.
These intelligent control programs can accurately control these machines, and they are obviously inseparable from some of these perception systems.
It seems that there is still a long way to go if we want to fully realize the atomic-scale high-speed separator of the super machine.
Du Qiu knew that he couldn't make a big fat man in one bite, so he planned to imitate the successful separator first, and then transplant and modify the corresponding control program on the basis of Bluestar's chip architecture, and at the same time imitate the corresponding perception system with the sensors in reality.
In this way, the atomic level is definitely hopeless, and the molecular level should be so-so.
At this moment, Du Qiu knew that in the future, if you want intelligent machines to have powerful functions, its perception system and core intelligent control system are the most important.
Obviously, I was too prescient to choose the field of machine perception as my doctoral research direction.
However, Du Qiu was also shocked by the design of this part of the perception system of the alien civilization, such as temperature, humidity, flatness, softness, ultrasound, magnetism, laser, and various unknown sensors, which can be used separately and integrated.
Such a design is definitely the sensor raw material and the corresponding chip material are excellent, otherwise it is difficult to obtain the corresponding accurate value between square inches.
Without such a perception system, the machine will naturally not be able to talk about precise control.
It's just that Du Qiu is a little depressed that he can't find out what material these sensors are made of in these production procedures.
However, Du Qiu thought that the super machine could purify hundreds of elements and synthesize thousands of binary materials.
The characteristics of these materials will be written in the production process, and Du Qiu believes that it should be possible to find the corresponding characteristics of the materials to manufacture the corresponding sensors.
This made Du Qiu feel the importance of materials again.
Du Qiu decided that for some time in the future, the time in the dream world would be spent on the research of the material production process of the super machine.
Start with the elements on the blue star, and master all the relevant purification and production processes.
Then a lot of experiments are carried out in reality, looking for new types of materials that can be produced in large quantities in reality.
Du Qiu plunged headlong into the production process of various material purification, and made every effort to memorize the ratio of catalysts and molecular replacement agents, and the various conditional values of application nodes.
Time passed in a hurry.
