Voyage of the Stars

The success of magnetic push also represents the real start of the Grand Fleet Plan.

Under the operation of strong artificial intelligence, human robot factories continue to produce robots, and various automated exploration and mining equipment are also put into the planet in batches.

In just a few years, the planet mainly developed by humans has turned into a sea of ​​machinery. Automated equipment with various functions can be seen coming and going on the planet every moment. Space elevators are put into use one after another, sets of orbital mass accelerators are sending supplies to the space port all the time, and fully automatic transport ships frequently travel between orbits.

From exploring resources to transporting resources to space factories, and then providing finished and semi-finished products to construction robots and engineering equipment in space.

All of this is done under the control of strong artificial intelligence. Human beings only need to monitor the source, and there is no need to go to the planet to carry out development work as before.

Even the manufacture of battleships can no longer require humans.

Because the strong artificial intelligence created by human civilization has the artificial intelligence consciousness that was captured there as a reference, once the strong artificial intelligence created by human civilization completes its training, it will have the ability to build ships independently.

Of course, when building a new building, humans need to provide the design drawings.

As for the design drawings, humans have already prepared them. After all, the sample experimental ships have been completed and tested. After that, the engineers optimized the design drawing several times based on the test results, finalized it, and then handed the data to strong artificial intelligence.

It is a comprehensive strong artificial intelligence on the Tianqin.

The working mode of this strong artificial intelligence is the same as that of artificial intelligence consciousness. It is carried out in a multi-threaded manner rather than self-replicating.

In fact, humans already have a way to create self-replicating strong artificial intelligence, but it is not a way of letting strong artificial intelligence copy itself and then enslave itself. Rather, it is to expand strong artificial intelligence individuals by creating supercomputers in which strong artificial intelligence resides.

A mastered technology has the characteristics of mass production, and the same is true for strong artificial intelligence. The strong artificial intelligence for military use that humans plan to create in the Grand Fleet Project is this model.

Of course, due to the complexity of manufacturing supercomputers, if humans want to expand infinitely by using strong artificial intelligence machines to build machines, it is not impossible, but it will take a long, long time, unless we have something like in science fiction movies. Like 'universal metal', it can be transformed into various finished mechanical structures at will according to the program.

But this technology currently exists only in fantasy.

But even so, the scene of launching the grand fleet plan was hundreds of times more spectacular than before.

Looking around, you can see that there are light spots on the current planetary orbit. When you zoom in, you can clearly see that these light spots are brightly lit working space docks. Some have been completed and have been put into use. There are also space docks that are being built.

Looking at them, they look like fortresses arranged in the void.

The transport ships that travel to and from space are like hard-working bees, providing necessary production resources for these space docks.

In the process of manufacturing warships in the space dock, people can see from the surveillance screen that those large structures are directly handover operations by a National Taiwan University robotic arm. As for those small and precise mechanical structures that originally require humans to splice or weld in person, It is completed under the operation of anthropomorphic articulated arm nanorobots.

After the previous link ends, the robot in the next link immediately starts moving, and there are even situations where different links are being manufactured simultaneously. The entire process is controlled by strong artificial intelligence and multi-threading, and the cooperation is very tight.

Looking from the direction of Lyra and even the cluster of residential spaceships, one can easily see the busy scene of spacecrafts coming and going. The light spots in the starry sky deep in the universe are covered by the tail flames of these spacecrafts. As far as human eyes can see, A world of steel.

The emergence of strong artificial intelligence has allowed humans to build ships at a speed similar to that of "intelligent machines". After the productivity of the entire system is rolled out, the scale of large-scale production is no different from that of artificial intelligence civilization.

Seeing such a scene, Yue Yuan was finally able to determine why the omnic crisis appeared in the third-level civilization, but did not spread like locusts to one star field after another.

Here's why.

Technological civilization also has strong artificial intelligence. What the intelligent civilization formed by the rebellion of omnics can do, the technological civilization at the same level but has crossed the threshold of the omnic crisis can also do it.

The so-called mechanical civilizations that are like cosmic locusts in novels are not as scary as imagined. At least at the same level of technological civilization, technological civilization is also capable of fighting.

It is foreseeable that when civilization reaches the third level, future war patterns may be all about mutual strife between the strong artificial intelligence fleets of both sides.

There may even be situations where two civilizations may have been fighting for who knows how many years, but neither of them has discovered the possibility of the other party being a carbon-based life form or another life form. After all, those who rush forward and fight to the death are all It is a battleship controlled by strong artificial intelligence.

This is very confusing.

Based on this fact, some military experts have proposed new war theories. They believe that in wars that occur after the third-level civilization, the fighting time between the two sides will become longer, and they will rely on star systems as their bases.

The civilization that occupies a star system will form a fleet numerical advantage over the foreign civilization after the war enters for a period of time. This is because the war lasted too long, and during the war there was a steady stream of warships to replenish it.

Following this line of thinking, a battle for planets will form within the star system, especially rocky planets. After all, every rocky planet is a natural resource bank that can allow the third-level civilization occupying it to continuously produce Get out of the battleship and go into battle.

In this process, it becomes particularly important to find the command center of the hostile civilization and the location of individual lives.

This method of war is a bit like the ancient method of defending a city. In this method of war, even if one side's technology lags behind the other's, it may still be able to turn defeat into victory because the warships have more resource planets.

Similarly, due to the explosion of productivity, it will be difficult to attack from one star system to another. The defender's geographical advantage will be greatly amplified due to productivity.

This is worthy of human beings' vigilance, because as a wandering civilization, when humans encounter other civilizations, they usually enter the other party's star field, just like when they encountered the Nair civilization at that time.

In this way, if a conflict occurs, humans will be on the offensive side in most cases, unless humans turn around and leave.

The emergence of this view caused many human military experts to devote their energy to the study of galaxy attack strategies and tactics for a long time to come.

Due to historical reasons and the nature of the government, human civilization will always have some persecution paranoia. Therefore, as long as a new technology appears, they will try their best to use it in the military. At the same time, the military must remain strong and it has become a common practice for all human beings. consensus.
