Chapter 326: The Course of Life
Although they disappeared from Xiao Yun's field of vision, it didn't mean that Xiao Yun couldn't find them. Before releasing them, the staff of the Scientific Affairs Committee installed extremely sensitive positioning instruments on them, and their positions were displayed on the instruments wherever they went, as long as they were still above Pluto.
Not only that, Xiao Yun also installed a complex and complete monitoring system on the robots, and everything that happened in their bodies would form perfect data and send it to the monitoring personnel for scientists to analyze.
At this moment, Xiao Yun was in the spaceship, silently staring at the display screen. There are twenty red dots on the top of the display, each of which represents a robot in its infancy.
The growth stage of the robot is divided into juvenile and adult, the size and mass of juvenile robots are much smaller than that of adult robots, except for some necessary functional equipment, they do not have any additional functions, no flight ability, no attack ability, and extremely low defense.
This situation is determined by the limitations of maternal reproduction. After all, the space in the mother's body is limited, and it is impossible to make them very perfect in the body, so you can only create a child with the necessary functions first, and then let the child find supplies by itself, grow up slowly, and finally evolve into an adult robot with the same function as the mother.
The twenty red dots on the display, representing the twenty robots, had come together after a period of dispersion. It was at this point that a series of data was sent from the monitors mounted on the robot's body to the spaceship, where it was displayed on another display screen. Those data represent the judgment of the core code program inside the robot on the current environment and the planning of the future development route. and the exchange of information with each other. Xiao Yun understood the meaning of these codes with just one glance. After all. In the entire human civilization, no one has a deeper understanding of robots than Xiao Yun.
"Record it." Xiao Yun said to the staff around him, "The procedure judgment is as follows: the temperature is extremely low, the environment is extremely harsh, and the ability of the descendants does not have the ability to directly obtain supplies under the current environment. ”
Twenty descendants unanimously came to this conclusion. They are communicating. Well, the descendant began to self-test itself and comprehensively evaluate its own comprehensive performance, and the performance score of the No. 1 descendant was 86 points. The second child scored sixty-five points, the third child scored ninety-six points, and the fourth child scored ...... Among the 20 descendants, the No. 3 descendant had the highest score, and the seventeenth descendant had the lowest score. ”
"The program judgment is as follows: the five descendants with the lowest scores choose to sacrifice themselves and use their own resources to provide the other fifteen descendants to grow. The prediction is as follows: after sacrificing five descendants, the remaining fifteen descendants will grow enough to survive in the current environment. ”
So this is the picture displayed on the display screen. Xiao Yun saw that the robots gathered together were divided into two camps, the five descendants with the lowest scores chose to cut off their own energy supply, and the remaining fifteen descendants rushed up and completely disassembled the five descendants. Their movements may seem chaotic. But Xiao Yun knew that every movement of them was extremely precise. Different robots will never look at one part at the same time, and which descendant will get which part has already been determined in the previous communication and calculation.
The five descendants who chose to sacrifice themselves were instantly left with only a pile of wreckage, which was a part that had been judged by the program to have no use value. Any useful parts and materials were collected by the remaining fifteen descendants. After receiving the necessary supplies, the in-house integration plant began to work, and with the help of highly advanced monolithic manufacturing technology, the parts were recast, the various materials were collected separately, and then the parts were molded according to their respective needs, and then installed on their bodies. This series of actions took less than an hour.
"Notes: Robotic descendants have gained the ability to survive on the surface of Pluto."
After completing an evolution, the robots still did not disperse, and still chose to act collectively. Xiao Yun knew that there was an iron ore mine and a rare earth mine not far from the robot - both of which were small deposits that had no value for humans to mine, but were different for robots.
Sure enough, these two mines did not escape the detection of the robots. They discovered it after about ten hours, and they started mining as a group. With the support of their internal multipurpose mineral collectors, the robots began to feed in a steady stream. A large amount of minerals mixed with impurities are eaten in their mouths, and then the task of elemental separation is completed in the body, and the useful minerals are retained and stored in the storage room, and the impurities are excreted from the body.
"Log: The robots begin their first reproductive journey."
The interstellar environment is always harsh, especially on a remote planet like Pluto. On such a planet, it is always easy for all kinds of accidents to happen. In the process of mining iron ore and rare earth ores, two robots have internal circuits and programs that have been disturbed due to the effects of interstellar rays, so they have "gone crazy". However, less than ten seconds after they went insane, the General Judgment Program cut off their energy supply and broadcast intelligence messages to the remaining thirteen robots. So the remaining thirteen robots temporarily gave up the task of mining minerals, gathered in front of the two dead robots, repeated the previous process of decomposing the five descendants, and dismantled the two robots as well.
The decomposition of the two robots brought another batch of materials to the remaining robots that could be used, and the mining of iron ore and rare earth ores was basically completed, so the robots left the place and started looking for new minerals again.
The location where the robot was released before was specially calculated, and Xiao Yun specially chose such a place where there were all kinds of minerals not far away. So it didn't take long for the robots to find a new mine, where they mined copper and aluminum, and then moved on to the next location......
Whenever a certain amount of material is collected, the act of perfecting itself will begin, and they will make new parts to install on their bodies, and when they are not enough, they will look for new materials, and when they have enough, they will make parts...... And so on and so forth. Under such circumstances, the robots' bodies began to grow stronger and better, and various functions became more and more perfect.
"Record: They've got the ability to fly."
With the ability to fly, the robots can collect materials much faster, because they no longer have to waste time on rushing and searching - a territory that previously took more than ten days to explore can be completed in an hour after they have the ability to fly. Once again, the speed at which the robots are perfecting themselves is starting to increase dramatically.
In the process, three more robots "died", and their bodies were still disassembled by the rest of their companions. So far, only ten of the twenty progenomic robots that were initially released have remained.
But the ten robots have grown to a near-semi-perfect state. Their survivability has increased dramatically, their mobility has increased dramatically, and their manufacturing capacity has increased dramatically. Xiao Yun knew that if there were no major accidents, the robot descendants should not die because of the natural environment.
By now, a month has passed. In just one month, the robot completed the evolutionary task from surface activity to near-Earth space activity.
After the robot body was further refined, the robot began to develop from the sky to the underground. There are very few minerals that can be mined on the surface, and a large number of minerals with extremely high mining value are hidden underground. As a result, the robot perfected its ability to burrow into the ground and began to move beneath the surface of Pluto.
"Record: Robots are starting to have offensive capabilities."
Civilian technology and military technology are always figured out, such as drilling equipment, gathering equipment, etc., and a little modification is a very suitable offensive equipment. In fact, robots have been able to develop offensive capabilities for a long time, but perhaps due to the different degrees of importance, robots have only evolved offensive capabilities until now.
At this moment, the offensive ability of the robots is still very weak, they only have the ability to attack in the process, but not the ability to attack from a distance. But this is always a process of qualitative change, which is worth recording by Xiao Yun.
With continuous improvement, they have finally grown to the state of adult robots. After growing into adult robots, they are faced with a very important task, and that is to ...... Reproduction.
Under the current level of science and technology of robots, they have been perfected to the extreme, when they were first manufactured, Xiao Yun only set their technological level to the extent that they can only carry out near-Earth space activities, and the evolution of science and technology is not a task that can be completed in a short period of time, so there is only one task now, that is, reproduction, a large number of reproduction, reproduction at all costs.
Once again, the robots began the process of mineral gathering, but this time the mineral gathering was not to improve themselves, but to stock up on the materials needed to build the descendants. This was not too difficult to do, and so, only half a month after they were perfected into adult robots, the first progenomic robots were born. It will continue the life course of its mother, continue to begin to perfect itself, and then begin to reproduce......
"Record, the first descendant was born." (To be continued.) )
