Chapter 139: Competing for speed
The war with the chip ended with Chu Jungui's phased victory, although it was not a complete victory, but Chu Jungui at least knew its core secret.
It's just that after losing this battle, the chip became unusually silent, and no longer showed signs of emotion or intelligence. Chu Jungui guessed that perhaps its previous abnormal performance came from that mysterious control unit.
During the period when Chu Jungui was competing with the chip, three brand-new fourth-order workbenches had been manufactured, and now Chu Jungui had a total of four fourth-order workbenches. The speed of manufacturing a fourth-order workbench with a fourth-order workbench was several times that of the first level, so Chu Jungui asked all the fourth-order workbenches to keep copying themselves until there were 128 workbenches. This number can roughly completely replace the existing workbench.
The volume of the new pulp power furnace remains unchanged, which is still 2 cubic meters, and two units can provide thousands of horsepower. More power means more capacity, faster speeds, and the ability to drive larger equipment.
Chu Jungui felt the need to upgrade the reconnaissance vehicle. The existing reconnaissance vehicles are neither fast enough, nor are they well defended, their firepower is even weaker, and they cannot cook and bathe on them, they are simply useless.
The new version of the reconnaissance vehicle is well designed, using composite materials as armor and skeleton, using heavy alloys to create non-load-bearing structural parts, and installing four pulp power furnaces per vehicle, and then carrying four different types of weapon towers in a single vehicle. The reason why more was not put is because each weapon tower is either quadruple or two, and the ammunition alone must be loaded with several tons, otherwise you will face the dilemma of running out of ammunition in a battle.
At the same time, Chu Jungui designed an eight-wheel structure for the reconnaissance vehicle, and each tire has independent power, suspension and steering mechanisms. This design allows the reconnaissance vehicle to have extremely strong cross-country ability, with speeds close to 100 kilometers per hour on flat terrain. However, in order to maintain balance at high speeds, the eight wheels need to be adjusted in real time. This has to be controlled by the mastermind.
Chu Jungui did not hesitate to pick up half of the mastermind design.
It is of great significance that the off-road vehicle can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, not to mention that it is only twenty or thirty kilometers faster than the original, but it can make the difficulty of the pursuit of the alien beast group skyrocket, even if it is a dive attack of the winged beast in the air, it is difficult to catch the reconnaissance vehicle moving at such a high speed.
The new reconnaissance vehicle can increase the safety factor of Chu Jungui and Lin Xi by several times, which is naturally the top priority.
After competing with the chip, Chu Jungui began to re-examine the mastermind of his design. In the battle, Chu Jungui spied a little bit of the mystery of the chip algorithm model. The chip does not use common AI algorithms, nor is it quantum, optical or biological, or even energy field models. Chu Jungui felt that it was more like the natural process of intelligent life thinking, but it was actually somewhat similar to the test subject that was integrated with the teenager at the moment.
With the help of the experience of fighting, Chu Jungui had a new way of thinking.
He took the original cabinet apart and redesigned the internal structure. In the new architecture, each biochip is equivalent to a neuron, and about a dozen biochips will be connected by a single node. Chu Jungui assigned four chips to each node separately in order to assign tasks to neurons and receive results.
Such a group of chips constitutes a basic unit. Chu Jungui concocted the same method again, and more than a dozen basic units, plus nodes and control units, formed an independent unit.
The independent unit can be regarded as the most basic mastermind, and can barely be placed on the reconnaissance vehicle as an auxiliary control.
The entire architecture design is based on intelligent biological thinking. It only needs to get a complete operating system, and it can be regarded as a pseudo-life with rudimentary intelligence.
On Planet Four, the new independent unit can be said to be like a historical milestone. At least in the area that Chu Jungui saw. The Lancers and Pirate Banners landed with a number of high-level masterminds, but unfortunately none of them could work freely in the external environment. It is precisely because of this that both the Special Operations Division and the Federation Legion have regressed in the level of civilization for thousands of years after the landing, and they are almost eager to fight with cold weapons.
But now, Base 2 has officially had a master brain that can operate stably, and although its performance is unimaginably weak, it can still help with the level of a small workstation in the 21st century.
Most importantly, these brains can be connected in the same way as individual neurons to form a higher level of brains. This will be the beginning of the technological take-off of Base 2. Chu Jungui was already dreaming of a mountain-like mastermind.
Next, it's up to us to see who progresses faster between Base 2 and the Beast Tide.
So far, the evolution of the beast tide has been based on ten days. According to the records, a small change takes more than ten days, and a big change takes about a month. In the evolution of living things, this is completely unthinkable, and even the community's bioweapons complex cannot reach such a speed.
The No. 2 base was in the early days with the help of Chu Jungui's super combat power to stubbornly resist the attack of the beast herd, and after the first wave of offensive, Lin Xi's role also began to play, and the two complemented each other's roles and survived together in the beast herd raging on Planet 4.
Then with the advent of all kinds of new equipment, especially the emergence of biomass weapons, the situation on both sides was completely changed. The development of biochips has given birth to the emergence of remote-controlled gun turrets, which has also made the firepower of the base exponentially leap. Since then, the mechanical keyboard has developed all the way to the fifth generation, and the sixth and seventh generations have also begun pre-research. The direction of development is nothing more than an increase in firepower and a higher rate of fire.
And now, with the birth of the fourth-order alien version of the workbench, it can be expected that the No. 2 survival base will be reborn, which will be a base that truly adapts to the environment of the planet and relies on the development of the planet's materials, and the survivability and sustainable development ability are no longer comparable to the survival base in the traditional sense of mankind.
If you look back at the development process of Lin Xi and Chu Jungui since they landed, you will find that their evolution is actually much faster than that of the beast tide, and basically small changes are measured in days.
Later, even the little princess of the Winton family accidentally became their captive. In fact, from another point of view, this means that Chu Jungui and Lin Xi's firepower is strong enough to shoot down a large landing ship.
Now Chu Jungui faintly feels that if he wants to survive, he has to compete with the beast tide for the speed of evolution.
At this time, Chu Jungui completed the production of an independent unit of biological mastermind, and then generated a new task according to its physical architecture: to write an operating system suitable for this masterbrain. The task was generated, and Chu Jungui threw it to the chip.
In the process of competing for the speed of evolution, the chip will inevitably play a key role, and it is useless to play dead.
