The sea area the boat passed was the offshore area of ​​Wuming Island.

The water is a gentle continental shelf, so it is not very deep.

The depth is at most a little over a hundred meters.

The sun was shining just right at noon, and thousands of rays of sunlight penetrated the deep sea like sharp swords.

Under the influence of the extremely clear water, it can be said to be a mirror.

then...

When visibility is so high.

The magnificent man-made engineering under the sea is displayed before everyone's eyes:

——Those are countless 'stars' that flicker one after another.

That is...

The backbone of Wuming Island’s raw material base.

'Tardard' seabed mining system.

Don't look at it. This technology is only at T2 level.

In terms of seabed mining, its efficiency is already among the best.

More advanced mining technology than that.

Either a planetary megastructure, or an even more exaggerated interstellar megastructure.

For example [earth core drilling];

For example, [Planet Cracker].

The unknown civilization is composed of mechanical intelligent life forms, which are not organic creatures.

In other words, their survival does not depend on sunlight, air, water and food.

For these mechanical life forms, their living environment does not need to rely on the biosphere.

Not to mention environmental protection.

Therefore, the entire mining technology line is highlighted by a powerful force.

It's like t4 or even t5 level technology.

It is easy to drill directly through the earth's crust and drain the mantle;

Or blowing up planets like cracking chunks of ore,

Then slowly pick out the minerals you need from the crushed asteroid belt.

By the way, these technologies are all extremely cruel.

Su Wen was stunned for a moment.

In contrast.

The 'Tardibear' system is already on the cutting edge of mining technology and has very little environmental damage.

Even so, they also have their own unique secret skills.

And it gave everyone in China in the war room a little extraterrestrial shock...

- self-replication.

This is the most outrageous function of the 'Tardibear' system.

Unlike other mining rigs which are designed to be 'additive'.

When the Tardigrade system was created, it adhered to the simple and efficient idea of ​​"doing as much as possible with the least cost and the shortest process."

The material consumption of the 'Tardibear' submachine is extremely low.

No need for a fusion reactor or a hair dryer.

Half interstellar alloy, half nanocomposite, with a dash of metallic hydrogen and graphene.

Any t2-level vpc assembly machine can be used for mass production.

When the vpc assembly machine is already integrated in the drone hive.

Every time the sub-machine transports minerals back, the hive can directly produce new sub-machine on the spot.

In the beginning, there were only less than a hundred slave machines.

Today, there are thousands.

Their beacon lights can be seen everywhere on the seabed.

Like a Milky Way composed of twinkling blue stars, the flow is endless.

Between the Milky Way.

The rich shallow seabed deposits in the 'Rocky Coast',

Like a cookie being slowly broken, it crumbles inch by inch.

The excavation efficiency of a sub-machine may not be comparable to that of a fifty-ton excavator.

But thousands of mobile phones are running continuously.

Every minute and every second, tens of thousands of earthworks are excavated.

The fully loaded sub-machine returned to the 'hive' like the Milky Way.

Deliver goods on the unloading pipeline that has been expanded dozens of times.

The endless flow of aircraft is particularly densely packed at this location.

Looking around, it looks like the center of the Milky Way.

The blue star swirls are dazzling.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"I am not wrong, right?"

"Is this underwater?"

"Underwater, about a hundred meters deep..."

"It's not within the scope of deep-sea high-pressure mining, but it's amazing that shallow seas can reach such a large scale."

Experts and scholars are discussing it a lot.

The expressions on their faces are all different.

In fact, they have said it very implicitly.

The scale is not only amazing, it is terrifying!

"Such a large-scale seabed mining system...and it uses drones, right? This..."

"A drone is a drone, what dirty words are you talking about."

"Who said dirty words? I think it's you liberal arts students who are too dirty!"

"Mad, who do engineering dogs look down on?!"

Two guys suddenly started fighting.

The people next to him continued to point at the pictures on the screen with a non-surprised look on their faces.

"...Roughly speaking, there are about six to seven thousand drones. This is such a large fleet!"

"Yes. It's amazing.

There are so many drones, and they are in an environment where there are no traffic roads,”

"Just the movement guidance and route planning of each unit is beyond the capabilities of ordinary supercomputers."

Driverless technology.

Even before the Cataclysm, it was notoriously difficult.

If it is a standard road with horizontal and vertical directions, it can certainly run well.

But then again,

Where can I find "standard road conditions" in the true sense these days?

The little electric donkey is plugged in, the retrograde old man is having fun, running the red light, spying on ghosts...

In a country with more than a billion people, there are so many weird things that no one can even imagine.

Every day, there are several small electric donkeys who just run into the blind spots of big cars and are directly crushed into minced meat by the king.

If any weird thing comes on the road, the driverless AI will have to dry out the CPU.

Not to mention...

This is still at the bottom of the sea where the environment is more complex.

And it's not just driving, it's working.

This requires the scheduling system to perform high-intensity and precise calculations.

otherwise...

Any collision accident may cause a large-scale shutdown of the entire system.

But now, look at the endless 'river of stars' flowing under the sea.

Where does it look like there has been an accident?

"Amazing, really amazing."

"This computing power...could it be a large-scale quantum computer?"

The two looked at each other.

Then he kept silent.

Slowly chewing the shock in my heart.

These two are both engaged in intelligent automated driving.

Before the catastrophe,

He is responsible for the "smart transportation" projects in major cities in China.

They are the chief engineers responsible for upstream supercomputing architecture construction and downstream intelligent AI training.

After the catastrophe, he served as a national first-level scientific researcher.

Both of them received the best protection and arrangements.

Currently in charge,

Design and supervise the construction of the 'industrial zone unmanned logistics' system in the underground city of the base city.

Major base cities have great demand for this.

Chemical industry, heavy industry, military industry,

There are so many industrial fields;

It is a process that is extremely dangerous and difficult to operate.

If it is replaced by unmanned logistics vehicles, it is undoubtedly a good choice.

Especially in this era when there is an extreme shortage of professional talents.

But I want to compile an unmanned logistics network from scratch...

How difficult is it?

Even if there are technological legacies from before the Cataclysm,

The projects of the two chief engineers are also as slow as a turtle crawling.

result...

Unexpectedly, in such a place.

I saw an industrial miracle that far exceeded my lifetime efforts.

"A small witch can see a big witch..."

One of them said quietly.

Half shocked, half sad,

They all sighed.
