Chapter 331: Antarctica
The gray-black shell metal paint faintly flashed in the dim snow, like a metal demon coming out of hell, stepping on the snow closer and closer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Woo......"
A metal rod slowly rose and lowered from the heavy snow, and just as the "metal demon" approached, the rotating top automatically aimed at it, and a faint blue light swept up and down, and then gradually settled as it was.
"Is this it?"
Wearing foxhunts-1 exoskeleton armor, the neuromechanical interface in front of Lu Yuan's eyes sent a signal to reach his destination.
Antarctica is in a state of polar night, the sky in many areas is very dark, and the snowstorm in this area is also increasing, the temperature is more than 80 degrees below zero, ordinary humans can't carry out activities here at all, even if it is Lu Yuan himself, he must wear an exoskeleton armor with automatic temperature adjustment to move freely.
During the polar night in Antarctica, most of the normal scientific research activities were suspended, and few people dared to come to this place where the blizzard was raging. Lu Yuan didn't even see any traces of human activity along the way, thinking that even if someone had been active here, the terrible blizzard would have buried all the traces long ago.
After walking a few steps forward again, suddenly, the ground suddenly began to shake, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the vibration to continue to increase, until suddenly the snow poured out, and a metal box like an elevator rose out of the snow on the ground.
"Verified ID, iris scanning and verifying completed, open the protective door ......"
The metal lattice box is about 3 meters high, and the doors on both sides rotate open, revealing the space inside.
Lu Yuan did not hesitate, and stepped in first.
As soon as he walked into the "elevator", the sliding doors on both sides closed again, and the entire metal lattice quickly sank. In less than ten minutes, all the traces caused here will be covered by the blizzard, and there will be no more unusual appearance.
The settlement speed of the "elevator" is quite fast, but it also took more than 40 seconds to reach the end point with a "ding" sound.
Outside the open gate, it was not the whole picture of the base that Lu Yuan imagined, but a platform similar to the subway. A maglev "bullet" train with silver decorations stopped in front of the platform, only about ten meters long, Lu Yuan walked over in surprise, and the doors of the train automatically opened to both sides.
"It's really okay."
Lu Yuan was a little self-deprecating, he ingested a lot of raw materials from the worlds of "Public Enemy Mechanica" and "Neverending", but he didn't expect Sonny to hide that he had done something. Especially after its open rebellion, it has recklessly spent a lot of resources elsewhere.
One is that three additional bases have been built, although the scale is certainly not as large as the South Pacific submarine base, but it still makes Lu Yuan feel quite terrible to build three bases in half a year without landing on Lu Yuan.
Automated robots are really good at this, and if Sonny is given enough resources and time, it may take less than five years to start building a small base on the moon. After all, in the world of "Enemy of the Machines", technology is enough to achieve regular exchanges between the Earth and the Moon, and a large-scale colony base has been built on Mars.
The maglev train slowly started to accelerate, and in this claustrophobic tunnel, it quickly increased its speed to 300 miles per hour, and in just over ten minutes, the surrounding tunnel suddenly turned into a transparent vacuum pipe, and the entire train actually traveled to the bottom of the sea.
Lu Yuan looked at the portholes left and right of the train a few times, and in the dark depths of the seabed, only the light emitted from the side of the train shone through, breaking the silent underwater world.
But these rays were only scattered at a distance of less than 20 meters, and then they were swallowed by the surrounding seawater, to be precise, the train did not run on the bottom of the sea, but in the seawater, down is the abyss of the sea at a depth of thousands of meters, and no matter how strong the light is, it cannot be directly penetrated.
"What the hell did Sonny do with this base?"
Lu Yuan's doubts didn't last long, and soon, he saw the face of the Antarctic base with his own eyes.
At the neuromechanical interface, the fully 3D modeled Antarctic base is a circular metal sphere with a radius of 150 meters, suspended in the middle of the sea water 50 to 200 meters below the ice.
In the information left by Sonny, the remaining two bases of the three bases are used as production bases for robots and other equipment, and the NS-5 cannot be produced independently because of the too many high-precision parts and chips required for the body, but other backward models are enough to produce themselves in mineral-rich areas.
One of the two bases is located in central Africa, a country rich in metal minerals. The other is located in Chile, hidden at a depth of 100 meters under the mountains.
The African base can independently produce 50 NS-1 robots or 100 tracked robots a day, which carry conventional thermal weapons, and their combat capabilities are mainly reflected in the frontal battlefield and are not suitable for special operations. The Chilean base specializes in the production of drones and spider-type robots, which are suitable for unique street warfare.
But let's be honest, a few thousand of these robots may be able to defeat some small countries, but not enough to defeat medium-sized or large countries, let alone the United States. In modern warfare, a superpower such as the United States has a variety of weapons of war, and it is extremely terrifying, just in the face of a few cloudburst shells, or heavy artillery fire, these backward tracked robots must all be destroyed.
Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention to these backward models of robots, but he quickly terminated the production task and let them carry out other specialized and sophisticated production tasks.
As for the last Antarctic base, it is the backup doomsday base option given by Sonny.
Although the South Pacific base seemed to be safe before, after all, there was a prehistoric creature next to it, coupled with the fact that it contained a lot of very dangerous creatures and did many biochemical experiments, Sonny was not completely relieved about this, so he was ready to evacuate in an emergency. This Antarctic base, a movable metal ball in the sea, is enough to serve as a backhand for evacuation and "comeback" even if a nuclear war breaks out and even more terrible disasters occur.
The maglev train began to slow down, and slowly slowed down as it drove along the vacuum pipe into the sphere. Although this metal ball cannot be compared with the scale of the South Pacific submarine base, the radius of 150 meters is also quite large, and several aircraft carriers can be easily loaded into it.
“……”
Silently, the train gate slid open to both sides, and Lu Yuan stepped out, and what he saw was two NS-5 robots.
"6 and 7?"
"Yes, sir, I'm number 6."
"I'm number seven."
Sonny selected ten robots as test subjects for human emotion simulation, robots 1-10, which are also the most emotionally rich robots, certainly can't be compared with Sonny, judging from the information left behind, Sonny seems to have found a way to activate the emotions of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword, and when used well, it can play a great and effective role. And once it is used incorrectly, Lu Yuan himself almost died is a good example. However, because of Sonny's rebellion, it is ridiculous and undesirable to abandon artificial intelligence and not use it, or even oppose artificial intelligence. With the development of science and technology, artificial intelligence is bound to intervene in many fields, whether in terms of efficiency or other aspects, artificial intelligence is far superior to humans.
On the one hand, if it were humans to build this base, it would be basically impossible to solve it in ten years, and the problems involved would be countless, far less convenient and faster than using artificial intelligence.
Without artificial intelligence, Lu Yuan would not have been able to manage global work at all. Without artificial intelligence, all robots and drones are basically waste. In view of this, Lu Yuan will not give up the use of artificial intelligence, but he must attach great importance to the development of human emotions in artificial intelligence. (To be continued.) )
