0168 The Silver Core that Devours the Comet
The anchor hook shot into the surface of the Wisdom Core, holding the Singularity in place, and the splashed debris slowly flew upside down.
Xia Ming, who was wearing an extravehicular spacesuit, slapped the spaceship and pushed himself towards the surface of the Huinu, and the hook at the top of the mechanical arm was inserted into the surface to stabilize his body.
Turning on the searchlight overhead, this place that was originally as dark as an abyss revealed its true face to Xia Ming.
The composition of the Hui Core is generally rock, water, dry ice, ammonia, and cosmic dust, such as Halley's Comet, which is half ice and half dust, and 80% of the ice is water. The comet has a bit more rocky composition, probably absorbing a lot of "bread crumbs" as it skimmed over the asteroid group.
As the first astronaut to land on an asteroid in human history, Xia Ming became the first person to land on a comet. Compared with the former, the latter is more difficult, after all, it is quite risky for the spaceship to pass through that layer of wisdom.
With the nature of a scientist, at this time, Xia Ming should have said something like "This is a small claw of a person, but a big claw of a human being" and something like "this is a small claw of a human being", but at this time, he no longer sees himself as a simple scientist.
Dragging the rope and climbing to a place forty or fifty meters away from the spaceship to stop, Xia Ming replaced the hook at the top of the mechanical arm with an electric drill, drilled a hole on the surface of the Huihe, and then took out the ball and put it into the hole, retreated a distance, and concentrated.
The ball is the anchor component, and it has never been found to be of any other use except to help Xia Ming complete the integrity verification. After that, I was busy building spaceships and climbing technology trees, and I didn't have time to study it.
In the high-dimensional space-time, the massive amount of information that was originally pressed on his brain made a clear logic cloud, which has explained the purpose of this component. After exiting the high-dimensional space-time, the memory becomes blurry, and it takes a lot of hard thinking to grasp a scaly claw, but this is enough.
Under the induction, the noise is first like clutter, and then gradually condensed into clear speech.
"Permission Verification Passed ......"
It's not the kind of existence of R3AI, and the feeling level is much lower, Xia Ming thinks it's just a simple machine intelligence.
Blue light overflowed from the cave, and a three-dimensional scene similar to a logical cloud unfolded in Xia Ming's mind, scaling and scaling at will with the movement of Xia Ming's mind.
"Sure enough, it's the ......"
It's not a logic cloud, it's a technology cloud.
The front section is the energy section, which extends upwards, the middle section expands to the materials branch, and the latter section expands to the semiconductor branch. Each technology point on each branch is connected to the points on the other branches, and the creation of parts, machinery, and various uses is extended.
Xia Xiaoyan helped him roughly calculate, the three branches had at least more than 7,000 technical points, and millions of creations were associated with each other. From the skeleton to the shell, from wires to fiber optic cables, from semiconductors to superconductors. And all the technology, all the creations, can be traced back to the material starting point in the middle section.
At that point, it was something that Xia Ming was very familiar with: that strange silver-white material, he named it Zhiyin.
Xia Ming asked Xia Xiaoyan to record this "technology cloud" and do analysis and calculation, and a few minutes later, Xia Xiaoyan reported: "If you start from the front-end energy part, it will take at least three months to advance to the end." If there is an external energy source, you can skip this part, starting from the middle section, and it only takes seven to eight days to complete. ”
Exogenous energy? It's on your body!
There are wires in the tow rope of the spacesuit, and the spacesuit can also transmit electricity to the outside world, which is convenient for astronauts to repair damaged parts and equipment in space. Xia Ming is very glad that the space pile is used on the Singularity, and the energy is not worried.
Pull out the transmission wires from the spacesuit, remove the protective and insulating layers from the front end, and glue them to the ball with conductive tape. Turn on the power supply, and then click on the technology point in the middle of the technology cloud in your mind to make Zhiyin, and order the machine intelligence in the ball: "Start." ”
"External energy is detected, the command conditions are established, and the operation begins."
The machine intelligence gave a cold response, and the blue light in the hole suddenly brightened, and the round ball, which was about the same as a lead ball, slowly expanded, and the original black appearance gradually became blue and smooth. After a few minutes, it spilled out of the hole and turned into something similar to jelly, extending in all directions.
Half an hour later, the ball grew into a super-large jelly sheet with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters and a thickness of dozens of centimeters, and then stopped, and this stage seemed to be over.
Then it began to sink towards the surface of the Hui core, releasing a huge amount of heat, and Xia Ming's spacesuit also indicated a large amount of gamma rays, and when he ducked back to the spaceship, the porthole was engulfed in dazzling white light.
Xia Ming turned his glasses to terahertz scanning mode, and he could see that the jelly had separated several tentacles and extended to the depths of the Hui core. Due to the high temperature and high radiation, the water and dry ice of the Hui nucleus are constantly evaporating, and occasionally orange tongues of fire appear, which are the small bits of oxygen produced by the dissociation of the water, igniting the ammonia and methane on the Hui nucleus.
At this time, Xia Ming understood how the ravine on the Zhishen Star came from.
The jelly spreads, and by a few hours, the light, fireworks, and intense radiation have spread throughout the entire Hui's core on a long axis of 38 kilometers. Fortunately, the Singularity spacecraft was designed with the threat of dangerous environments in mind, and it can withstand high temperatures and radiation.
Sitting in the spaceship, Xia Ming thought to himself that in the eyes of countless astronomers and enthusiasts, today's "Xia Ming" must be extraordinarily gorgeous.
In the next three days, this wonderful being, which seemed to be a biochemical creation, "ate up" the Hui Core little by little, leaving only the slender branches that should be pure iron, like bones, supporting this large jelly, maintaining less than one percent of the size of the original Hui Core. Even the surface underneath the Singularity has become a regular metal round. He had to replace the anchor hook with a magnet so that nothing would happen and float away.
In the technology cloud, the progress on the backbone vein has reached the "manufacturing substrate" before the point of manufacturing Zhiyin, and the light and radiation have disappeared.
In the next paragraph, the progress is much faster, about five or six hours later. The blue surface of this large jelly seemed to be cooling, and it began to fade in a few places, gradually becoming silvery white, very similar to the molded wisdom silver.
Machine intelligence prompts: "You need to associate a specific creation in order to solidify the material, if there is no suitable creation in the list, you can enter the design drawing and associate it yourself." ”
And that's where it begins? It can also be customized, it's really amazing, and it deserves to be a high-dimensional creation.
Xia Ming hurriedly added the things he had conceived in the past few days to the design drawings one by one. Although each item has countless parts, countless indicators and remarks, it is not too tiring to have Xia Xiaoyan's help.
On the fifth day, Xia Ming completed all the custom projects, and Big Jelly started work again.
At this time, Zhiyin was a universal state, but it soon differentiated into different forms.
Pure mechanical materials are dense metal crystals, and the density is adjusted according to the different needs of the strength of the parts, and the crystal structure of conductive and data cables is adjusted on the basis of mechanical materials.
Semiconductors are another major category, with another crystal structure, and according to different uses, there are also several categories such as integrated circuits, discrete devices, photoelectric conversion, and ICs and memories, each of which has more detailed adjustments under the crystal structure.
Xia Ming still couldn't understand how Zhiyin differentiated a variety of materials that could be adapted to all uses on one material, and only felt that it should be the direction of nanotechnology. But to be able to do it so magically, at least it has surpassed human technology for dozens or hundreds of years.
No wonder Xiaotang's materials and biological attainments, as well as Qianyan's help, have been unable to crack it. But Xiaotang once vowed that this is not pure nanotechnology, but a combination of biology and nanotechnology, and this material does not exceed the technological limits of human beings.
Materials may not exceed the technical limits of human beings, for example, mechanical components are not necessarily the hardest, most flexible or the most conductive, semiconductors are not necessarily the most efficient, but a complete set of technical systems that directly point to the era of intelligence can be built with a material, which is far beyond the technological limits of human beings.
Yes, Zhiyin even made the neuronal chip that Xia Ming wanted on the basis of the Zhiyin chip......
However, compared with Zhiyin's performance in high-dimensional space-time, this level is really not worth mentioning. He saw with his own eyes that Zhiyin created living people, and he also saw that Zhiyin could change from one form to another at will. In the low-dimensional universe, once Zhiyin is solidified into a material, it cannot be converted again.
Xia Ming suddenly felt a little pity, if he returned to the earth and used this ball again...... Let's call it the Zhiyin core, it must not only convert the Zhiyin in front of you, maybe you can eat the entire earth and turn the earth into Cybertron?
It is not Zhiyin that is valuable, but the core of Zhiyin.
However, this regret quickly dissipated, and looking at the various mechanical devices that were formed in front of him, it should be enough to pry the world.
The core of Zhiyin can only transform Zhiyin into a single creation, and does not have the ability to assemble and manufacture with various parts, all creations are parts, soaked in a blue substrate.
Xia Ming dismantled the robot he brought back from Zhishenxing and began to assemble the first device by hand: the robotic arm workbench.
It is said to be handmade, but in fact, it is also used with a robotic arm on a spacesuit. After this rough workbench is built, a robotic arm with higher precision is assembled from parts made of Zhiyin material, and the previous robot is dedicated to detection after all, and manufacturing is not a specialty.
Zhiyin's robotic arm soon assembled more robotic arms, as well as plasma welding guns, motors, slide rails, wires and other tools and materials. Xia Ming used these components to spell out the robot workshop.
After the robot workshop is completed, everything is in the fast lane.
Pieces of Zhiyin plates are assembled together, and layers of Zhiyin gel lining are laid. Bundles of pipes are buried, and cabins are formed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the twelfth day, a silver-white spaceship took shape.
The spacecraft is 50 meters long and 12 meters in diameter, and has a regular shape, like a baguette cut into two slices, with a thick layer of ham embedded in the middle.
It's not really a spaceship, it's just a shell.
The next day, Xia Ming manipulated the Singularity, adjusted his posture little by little, entered from the tail of this shell, and put the whole thing in. The Singularity is only 15 meters long and has a maximum diameter of less than 5 meters, making it a breeze to fit in.
Xia Ming removed the three small engines on the Singularity and installed them on the front end of the shell to adjust the attitude. Connect the circuit and data link between the shell and the singularity, and the singularity is transformed.
Even if you have all the parts, it looks like a child's play to put together a spaceship in a few days.
But after all, it's not really a spaceship, adding a shell to the Singularity, and you don't have to think about air resistance in space, you can fly with a bunch of rags. As for the flight trajectory and attitude adjustment, all kinds of sensing devices made by Zhiyin Semiconductor, plus the control system on the Singularity, are enough to manage.
Xia Ming originally really wanted to build a spaceship, but Zhiyin alone couldn't solve all the problems, such as the manufacturing of VASIMR engines is not a simple assembly of parts. And his previous understanding was also wrong, Zhiyin still can't support a complete technical system, like the liquid nitrogen needed by the superconducting system, and some other special materials, Zhiyin can't replace it.
Of course, some devices Zhiyin can be bypassed by more back-end technology, but the further back the technology cloud of Zhiyin's core, the higher the processing requirements, Xia Ming needs to build a variety of precision robot workshops to get it, and he doesn't have so much time.
As far as his plan is concerned, it is enough to this extent, and as for why he came up with the idea of building such a spaceship shell, he still borrowed the idea from the old movie "007: Thunder Valley".
The creation of the airship consumed a small part of the wisdom silver, and Xia Ming didn't have that much time, so he hastily built some other things, and the rest of the wisdom silver could only be left on the wisdom core that had become an empty shelf. And the Zhiyin core has turned into a gray diamond, and after the machine intelligence indifferently prompts "the task is complete", it dissipates in Xia Ming's induction.
On the thirteenth day, after testing the functions of the new spaceship, Xia Ming started the engine, and the silver-white spaceship left Huihe.
The original 38-kilometer-long Huihe was left with only a pile of iron shelves, as well as jelly and silver-white metal on the iron shelves. But the comet's hair is thicker, and its tail is longer and brighter.
The blue planet is already clearly visible, and the moon next to it can be faintly seen.
"The Avenger? I'm not just here for revenge. Where's the number? Taizhong II. Judgment number? I'm not interested in working for God. Whitewing? Not...... It's a good name, and it has multiple meanings. ”
Xia Ming muttered to himself, his eyes were both dancing with flames and ice that sealed something. (To be continued.) )
