Chapter 32: Dreamland: Steel Jungle
The computing power of the intelligent core of the supermachine is measured by the level of Bluestar computer technology, and the best supercomputer on Bluestar will also be abused into slag in the face of the intelligent core.
The difference in computing power between the two cannot be reasoned!
Therefore, even if the intelligent core has a large number of task lists to be processed in parallel, it can easily meet Du Qiu's ability to call the visible light perception subsystem to perceive and observe the external world of the machine.
Of course, it is up to Du Qiu to decide whether or not to store the observation footage.
However, Du Qiu did not immediately change the direction of observation of this subsystem.
He first looked at some perceptual subsystems that he could understand, and found out if there was extraterrestrial life or a watcher around the supermachine.
After making sure there weren't, he looked at the current visible photonic system.
Du Qiu looked at an external picture unfolding in front of him with some excitement.
The visible light perception subsystem of the super machine has more than 100,000 cameras, which can not only observe the details of the production process of each module, but also observe the surrounding environment of the super machine.
The aforementioned superscope, which can see more than 20 kilometers, is located at the top of the supermachine and can observe in any direction in 360 degrees.
Presumably, the camera was facing a part of the super machine, so what Du Qiu saw was a top-down view.
This picture just appeared in front of Du Qiu's eyes, which shocked him a little.
This top-down view has a view of tens of thousands of square meters, and there are many tall buildings of different shapes in this area.
The appearance of some of the buildings was a little familiar to Du Qiu, and he immediately remembered that this was the shape of a certain functional machine in some of the pictures he had seen when he was studying the various functional modules of the super machine before.
Immediately afterwards, Du Qiu found that because he had frozen his vision for a few seconds, some words suddenly appeared next to the building in his field of vision.
The words were exactly the same as those of the programming language, so Du Qiu immediately understood the meaning, which was the name or logo of the machine.
Du Qiu did not move the camera, but instead counted the buildings in his field of vision, and found that except for some cube-shaped buildings that did not have names, everything else was there.
Looking at the names of these buildings, which correspond to the nouns in some of the functional programs in memory, it is clear that this area belongs to the supermachine.
This super machine is obviously equivalent to a super factory on Blue Star that integrates resource collection and refining.
After making sure that there was nothing around the supermachine that could be extraterrestrial life or intelligent robots, Du Qiu quickly turned the camera.
After turning around, the entire top-down view was completed in Du Qiu's mind, and Du Qiu was stunned by the footprint of this super machine.
At least more than a million square meters!
Stripped of the 49 huge pipes that go deep into the surrounding ground, the whole area is roughly a regular square, and Du Qiu estimated that the side length is about 1,000 meters.
The most peculiar thing is that the four sides of this huge square seem to be connected by straight lines.
Du Qiu carefully inspected the straight line and found that it was actually a huge crack!
He focused curiously on the crack and found that it hadn't penetrated the base of the square.
This square plane is five or six meters higher than the surrounding ground plane, as if it were a huge high pedestal.
In this metal square area, Du Qiu did not see a single figure.
Oh no, it should be a creature like an intelligent life or even a living animal, the whole area is cold and silent!
Yes, there shouldn't be a sound here!
Because Du Qiu looked the camera into the distance, and the sky.
Duqiu saw no signs of the presence of an atmosphere, and beyond the supermachine were rolling hills with many huge craters.
At a glance, Du Qiu almost thought it was the surface of the moon.
Most of those huge craters are supposed to be craters, and a few seem to be the same size as 49 pipes.
As the camera turned, Du Qiu saw an even bigger steel jungle in a certain direction, about 3 kilometers away from the super machine!
The steel jungle was a little different from the super machine he was in.
The appearance of the super machine is shiny with a silvery-white metallic luster, which looks like aluminum alloy, but there are still differences in color, gloss and surface texture.
And the steel jungle in the distance, with a dark cyan metallic sheen on the outside, couldn't tell what kind of alloy it was at all.
The steel jungle was made up of three large squares arranged in a zigzag pattern.
The sides of these three squares are a bit smaller than those of the Super Machine, and each square looks like it has half the footprint of the Super Machine.
The two mouths of this zigzag face the direction of the super machine, and in the square area on the right, there are various buildings of different shapes, similar to the super machine.
Du Qiu could recognize one or two buildings without even having to identify them with a perception system, which was obviously similar to a super machine.
The square on the left is a little different, and most of the area is cube buildings, some high and some low, and the high ones look like they have multiple floors.
And there are huge cylinders at the four corners of the square, and the cylinders are so integrated that there are no gaps in them.
Oddly enough, the perception system does not identify the buildings within this square.
Looking at the square in the back, it is basically blocked by the two big guys in front, but because of the relatively high buildings there, you can see some of the heads of the buildings.
It looks like some regular cylindrical towers, the columns of which are much thicker than the square square square on the left, and are divided into five or six layers, thin at the top and thick at the bottom.
Once again, the perception system was unable to identify these cylindrical towers.
This made Du Qiu a little bored.
It immediately occurred to me that there should always be aliens in this steel jungle that is obviously different from super machines, right?
Du Qiu constantly adjusted the focus of his perception facing the steel jungle, carefully examining every corner he could see.
The various types of buildings in the three squares have a dark cyan metallic sheen on the outside, and some Du Qiu can understand the meaning of the signs, while others are confused.
Similar to the super machine, the three squares are also five or six meters above the ground, and the midpoints of the four sides of the square are also connected by gaps, as if a square has been cut in the center.
Between the buildings in the square area, there are no streets like the city on the blue star, and every building appears to be closed.
The entire steel jungle also looked silent, cold, and lifeless.
Could it be that this is a place abandoned by aliens?
As soon as Du Qiu came up with this idea, he denied it.
Since there are maintainers, and the super machine is still doing resource gathering and the production of various raw materials, it must be a normal production area.
Hey, could it be that all of this is an unmanned intelligent production area, and the living area of aliens is in other parts of the planet?
Thinking about it this way, Du Qiu felt that he should not be wrong, with the intelligence of these huge machines, there is indeed no need for intelligent beings to stare at and take care of them all the time.
This alien civilization is too far ahead of the Blue Star, and a single super machine can handle resource gathering and primary raw material production.
The nearby steel jungle is home to three super-machine-like beings, presumably capable of producing other types of production.
Du Qiu speculated as he looked over little by little, hoping to be lucky and see something moving.
In such a large production area, there should always be transportation vehicles for the transportation of raw materials, product output, etc.
However, Du Qiu glanced back and forth several times, and there was not a single moving object.
This reminded Du Qiu of the idea at the beginning, was this place abandoned by aliens?
With this question, Du Qiu woke up!
Du Qiu stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, and he was already a little powerless to complain about this way of suddenly waking up from a dream.
Every time, I just want to get high, and then I stop cooking.
Du Qiu got up, opened the curtains, and the morning light poured in.
Outside the window, it is already full of spring, the greenery of the community is good, take a deep breath, you can feel the taste of sufficient oxygen.
Du Qiu was still in a good mood, he finally reconnected to the dream last night, and even really saw the planet where the super machine was located, as well as the production area of the alien civilization.
Crucially, he modified the protective net program so that it could not detect its own advent control of the super-machine's intelligence core.
In this way, Du Qiu can maintain a connection with the dream.
He can also come there every night through dreams, and obtain far more science and technology from this huge treasure trove of science and technology than the blue star.
As an engineering doctor, there's nothing more enjoyable than getting these technologies.
