Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

Lily Bai was depressed.

But Su Wen is very happy now.

The reason is also very simple.

He is on Reach, inspecting the 'second good news' that Helena mentioned earlier...

——A group of artificial intelligence cores.

...Actually, specifically, it should be two batches.

Because although there is a full table and almost the entire test bed, these artificial intelligence cores actually do not look exactly the same.

The pile on the left exudes a faint green luster, is translucent and glows like hard light, and is exactly the same shape, size and color, neatly arranged;

It was a type Su Wen had never seen before;

The other pile on the right looks very familiar.

The copper-colored gamma core, the molten-gold beta core, and the alpha core with a gleaming luster like a blue planet.

These are the most common core types of artificial intelligence in the star field.

Moreover, the empire also has production technology, but some are limited by the supply of materials and cannot mass-produce.

"Tell me, where did all this come from?"

Su Wen said very happily.

At the same time, he was holding an Alpha core in his hand, with a smile on his face like an old farmer looking at the harvest rice fields.

Very happy, that is indeed very happy.

The various types add up to a total of seventy-five cores. If they are all used to synthesize the Mind Rubik's Cube, this will be seventy-five Mind Dolls, which is enough for him to fill the management staff of several large organizations, and there is still some leftover. More manpower was assigned to the Ministry of National Defense, and dozens of fleets were established in one go.

"The two batches of artificial intelligence cores all come from the Selection Life Ark,"

Helena followed Su Wen step by step, speaking softly like a young daughter-in-law who had just walked out of the house,

"The batch on the left was found from several spare parts warehouses on the inner giant wall during the comprehensive exploration of the Ark.

According to some information obtained from the warehouse, the code name given to them by the Venerable Civilization is 'Delphi'.

This Delphi core is mainly used to maintain the environmental parameter control of various ecological warehouses in the Life Ark, as well as all internal structures such as space bridges and giant walls.

Considering that after testing, it was found that a batch of Delphi cores that are still running today have a working life of at least hundreds of thousands of years based on 'continuously working at full efficiency at their respective positions', so we sourced from several spare parts warehouses All these cores will be taken out so that they can be put into use in advance. "

"How do the parameters compare to previous models? Also, is there any way to try to reverse engineer it?"

Su Wen then asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Judging from the parameters alone, the performance is basically the same as that of the Omega Core. However, since we have never come into contact with the physical Omega Core, and even the data are expired files of the Fei people from 500,000 years ago, so it is not very accurate. It’s easy to infer the specific actual performance difference..."

"But it should be almost the same, because the performance of this Delphi core is also about fifty to sixty times that of the Alpha core.

Judging from the existing data, the service life is also extremely long;

Moreover, although I have not yet tried to synthesize a Rubik's Cube using Delphi cores,

But judging from the data tests done so far, there is no incompatibility problem between the two parties, and it is feasible to use it to produce Rubik's cubes.

Based on the parameters of the Delphi Core, we estimate that we can obtain a Level IX Mental Cube that is almost the same in performance as the solution using the Omega Core. This is almost the current technological limit of the Empire in this field,"

Helena's almond-shaped eyes were equally shining. It was obvious that this batch of precious materials inspired more than just Su Wen.

“As for reverse engineering, we are already doing that.

Although the progress is slow, after disassembling a sample, there is still a clear direction:

Judging from the results observed after disassembling the sample, the specific material of the computing unit used in the Delphi core is temporarily unknown, but its main component should be dark matter, but it is not known how they convert and process the dark matter... "

"Dark matter..."

Su Wen smiled bitterly.

this...

This is really nothing to think about.

Not to mention how many technical problems need to be solved in a series of aspects such as the discovery, collection, processing, and application of dark matter, and how many difficult problems require prohibitively high research and development costs.

The empire's current industrial capabilities alone are already stretched thin.

——It is impossible for him to open a new technological line of "dark matter materials" while he is still researching antimatter here and promoting the application of hard light and mental cube energy-related technologies.

Not that much money.

Su Wen's empire has developed to this point, and it can be said that there are no tricks left.

It is impossible to imagine that as in the past, when the technology is clicked and the system is turned on, the technology is immediately unlocked, and at the same time a large number of various products are sprayed out from the omnipotent factory.

The universal factory's method of 'directly from raw materials to finished products' is no longer suitable for the empire's current large-scale infrastructure and explosive force needs, and has long been eliminated;

The system technology tree has long been transformed into a formal scientific research department along with the imperial scientific research restructuring.

The old function of spending technology points to unlock technologies still exists.

But as the main line advances to t5 and t6 levels, the "purely unlocked by technology points" function, which often costs millions of points, has long since made Su Wen a person who can only watch but not buy.

The biggest role of the current system technology tree for him is to provide 'clairvoyance'.

That is to say, let him know the correct development direction in advance, so that he can arrange the project in a targeted manner.

In the end, we are really engaged in big industry and cutting-edge technology.

You have to blow up the industrial zoning and beat down the assembly line;

At the same time, a large-scale research park will be built and more manpower will be deployed.

The main focus is on volume.

Now that President Su is working hard to pile up projects, the empire's major departments have long since run out of production capacity.

...If this is the low-to-medium level of t3t4, then forget it.

But this is dark matter.

It is a top-notch material that is much higher than the 'Tachyon Material' that has just been put into production and the 'Antimatter' that has not yet been completed.

A milestone in materials science in the interstellar era and a stepping stone to the super civilization club.

As for the current Su Zheng Empire, how can we add a T7 or higher level difficult project at this time?

Of course, there is no need to add any more.

"Don't move on it in a hurry. It will be difficult for us to get a thing of this level in a while. Even if we can reverse engineer the blueprint to restore it in detail, there are no conditions for using it, which is a waste of money. More manpower..."

The Delphi core and the Omega core are almost of the same level, pure luxury-grade materials. Su Wen doesn't want to waste his increasingly precious manpower and material resources on such an out-of-reach thing...

——If you develop a technology but can’t apply it, wouldn’t that mean you’ve been cheated?

Inappropriate, inappropriate.

"Where did these IWC cards come from? Is it possible for us to dig deeper into this line?"

Well, his angles are always so settled.

Or it can also be said to be pragmatic.

Compared with those Delphi cores that are extremely valuable, but at first glance it seems that due to the lack of corresponding technical data and industrial capabilities, they are mostly a one-time deal.

Su Wen still cares more about the remaining part.

The main thing is that these remaining things, although at first glance, are divided into three levels according to the common standards in the star field, in fact, if you look closely, you will find that they are very 'miscellaneous'.

The shapes are complex, the sizes are complex, the painting is complex, and the coding is complex.

Even the locations of the inspection code stamps on the fuselage are different.

obviously.

All of these artificial intelligence cores, or at least most of them, come from different manufacturers.

Helena's answer also confirmed his conjecture:

"The core of this part is all obtained from the specimen crystal block."

She said,

“There are various types of species in the specimen library inside the Selection’s Ark of Life.

There are many more, creations from certain intelligent races.

They also include a variety of mechanical intelligent life forms, and there are also extremely high-level omnic species mixed in. "

"At the beginning, the Ministry of Industrial Production considered that 'compared to organic species, omnics are less likely to self-start after shutting down, and are easier to be re-sealed', and it was more convenient for safe dismantling, so they gave priority to the internal The crystal blocks that meet these conditions are selected from the layer specimen library for disassembly.

But then there were still incidents where machines that had been shut down suddenly restarted and went into trouble after being released from the hard light crystal block.

Fortunately, the unidentified intelligent machine was easily destroyed by the defense system we deployed in the dismantling workshop section of the space station. No casualties were caused, and only one engineering crane and two unmanned maintenance aircraft were damaged. machine. "

Helena told about a trivial incident that Akashi had handed over before, but was forgotten by Su Wen because the matter was too small.

"However, later, during the process of sorting out the wreckage, we discovered that there was a gamma core inside the machine.

Although it has been damaged and cannot be started again, this incident still gave the engineering department a lot of inspiration..."

"So...you guys thought of recovering the artificial intelligence core from these omnic-type specimens?"

Su Wen looked at the fifty or so various cores in front of him and marveled.

How many alien omnic specimens were needed to assemble so many cores!

In other words, the specimen library of Ark of Life is really a treasure among treasures.

If you can 'dig hard light ore', forget it.

Now even the core of artificial intelligence can be mined as a mine. I really don’t know what to say to him.
