Chapter 476: What Super Technology
“What did she make?”
“Maybe it’s a synthetic human or something called a super omnic...”
“No,”< br>
Chen Lin interrupted the assistant here and said to him word by word: "This is the front-end technology of positronic artificial intelligence in science fiction stories!"
"What is positron intelligence?"
The assistant seemed confused. He asked subconsciously and received a personal explanation from Chen Lin.
“The so-called positron artificial intelligence is actually a fictional science fiction concept that uses the unique properties of positrons (i.e. antimatter electrons) to build artificial intelligence systems. Currently, humans only have one understanding of these things. Rough conjectures and science fiction speculations, without any actual relevant research results."
Chen Lin happened to be paying attention to the information about this so-called positron artificial intelligence a few days ago, and at this time he came up with it and talked about it: "Positrons. It is an antimatter particle that has the same mass as an electron but an opposite charge. When a positron and an electron meet, they annihilate each other and convert into energy - this phenomenon is called an annihilation reaction in physics."
“Positron artificial intelligence will use the energy generated by the annihilation reaction as the power source of the artificial intelligence system to meet the terrifying energy requirements required for its quantum mechanical calculation operations.”
"Generally, positrons can play a role in quantum computers as qubits. Quantum computers use the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations and have higher computing power than traditional computers. The unique properties of positrons can help achieve more Efficient quantum computing enables this type of artificial intelligence to have many unimaginable capabilities and characteristics after it is created.”
“For example, the unique properties of positrons allow devices to complete complex tasks in an extremely short time. Computing, positronic artificial intelligence has advantages in processing large amounts of data and executing complex algorithms, and its efficiency is far more efficient than all existing computers."
After listening, the assistant spoke to Chen Lin: "I see... Then you just said that this is front-end technology. What does this have to do with positrons?"
"What technology project is Ali handing over now?"
" Well...basic scientific research methods."
Chen Lin smiled and said: "I remember that the subsequent scientific research project is managerial artificial intelligence, right?"
"The technology tree shows three options - the self-evolution logic of artificial intelligence, automatic Comprehensive processing algorithm, special operations computer."
Chen Lin immediately clapped his hands and told the assistant: "That's it, behind the self-evolution logic is positronic artificial intelligence!"
"I was interested in this type of technology before, so I watched a series of subsequent technology projects. I remember that the back of the special operations computer was an auxiliary fire control device. The self-evolution logic has multiple branches of technology, such as positron artificial intelligence, Positronic brain implants, synchronized defenses and whatnot..."
"Self-aware colony ship"
The assistant had already browsed through the project team contents in the technology tree. He added something to Chen Lin, which made Chen Lin laugh: "Yes, that's right, it's the self-awareness colony ship."
"It is still a basic scientific research method project, but I have realized that positron artificial intelligence is definitely not far away."
After Chen Lin finished speaking, the assistant said to him: "But It will probably take a long time, at least five or ten years, right?"
"No, no, no..."
Chen Lin laughed and said: "I feel that Ellie will not give us such ample time to promote the development of positronic artificial intelligence. She will do everything possible to speed up the overall speed. Has Ellie recently conducted research projects related to intelligent machinery simultaneously?"
"It's amazing, Colonel. Ellie has indeed launched a separate project to create faster, stronger and more intelligent intelligent machines for the association!"
The assistant couldn't help but exclaimed, Chen Lin didn't even pay much attention to various scientific research projects on Ellie's side for a while, but he knew about these things. It can only be said that Chen Lin had a unique knowledge and understanding of this kind of technology trees.
"Then everything is connected in series."
Chen Lin said to the assistant not far away: "The front-end technology of synthetic humans is research related to positronic artificial intelligence and intelligent machinery. Once this project is completed, our intelligent machines will undergo great changes - synthetic humans are advanced robots, stronger, faster, and more durable than most organic creatures, and their neural processors have huge Improve and have the ability to operate independently”
“More importantly, this thing can be made at will”
The assistant's eyes widened with surprise on his face. These projects seemed a bit far away to him, but now that Chen Lin said this, he felt a real shock - Ellie was indeed representing the civilization behind her in helping The Red Dragon Association developed rapidly, and basic scientific projects were determined within two months. Immediately afterwards, various project teams for basic science research began to be established crazily under the dispatch of the association. The number of scientific researchers required by more than a dozen departments was extremely large. fear.
“But right now, I feel that what Ellie wants to create more is a lower-level intelligent machine—for example, the code-named [Teacher] intelligent machine I saw before, this thing is different from what we have here. The teacher is almost the same. He can explain and break down a large amount of obscure basic science content and teach it to our people."
Chen Lin had a look of helplessness on his face: "A month and a half ago. When Ellie was establishing various project teams, she asked the association to transfer people. At that time, the association transferred more than 2,000 people from the Origin Star and the Earth. However, as the major project teams were subsequently improved, the staff gap was still large. It’s outrageous.”
“Yes, a few days ago I saw that the association meant to directly recruit fresh college students or outstanding social workers to join these projects. There is really a shortage of people.”< br>
Chen Lin nodded: "There is nothing wrong with this. The overall quality of college students is still good. Those students who study seriously in the top colleges can participate in it after a little training and special training. Outstanding talents in a wide range of scientific research projects.”
"And..."
The assistant hesitated when he said this. After Chen Lin looked at him, the guy continued to speak: "There are currently suggestions within the association, hoping that we can transfer part of The scientific research project team is open to those outside the association. "
"Is this happening?" Chen Lin suddenly became alert. He stared at the assistant and said, "Has the specific personnel or direction been decided? "
"It probably means that a part of the project team is not so important, and it is handed over to researchers from external associations who have a good relationship with us or are not so bad. These researchers are also responsible for it. They also enter the Origin Star to work and sign various agreements before coming. They are not allowed to return before a certain time or without producing certain scientific research results..."
Chen Lin thought for a moment and felt that this method was a reasonable way to supplement personnel.
However, he still shook his head slightly and said to his assistant: "It's just that it can't be promoted on a large scale. After all, science has no country, but scientists do have countries. All kinds of technologies obtained from us, Since basic science still accounts for the majority, if they are really allowed to take it back, it will inevitably cause some necessary troubles.”
“But this situation will not last long, as we are doing. Research will always have to be promoted, and they will inevitably know about it."
Chen Lin somewhat agreed with the assistant's words. What he actually considered was the operation carried out by Ellie. The purpose of Ellie's special creation of [Teacher] is definitely not for fun, but most likely to use these intelligent machines to mass-produce various types of highly intelligent professionals.
The expansion of the scientific research project has been completed, but the most critical point now is that it is stuck on people. This is really unacceptable to the Red Dragon Association, which has always been known for its population.
Chen Lin has also seen some relevant reports submitted by the New Weapons Research and Development Institute in the past few days. It has undertaken several scientific research projects, which is a bit of a torture for a scientific research institute that currently does not have a particularly rich background, but none of them have They said they couldn't do it, but they all said they would try their best to tackle relevant scientific research projects.
These scientific research projects mainly focus on live ammunition, plasma projection weapons, anti-matter weapons and laser/electromagnetic wave weapons.
It goes without saying that live ammunition is natural. In modern warfare, tank armor is used to withstand live ammunition. Its design concept can be compared to the spacecraft armor in Star Wars. The key points mentioned in this project are The research contents related to [Reactive Armor] and [Strong Magnetic Field] are mainly economical and practical.
Relevant technology has been carried out by the Red Dragon Association before, so it is not completely unprepared.
It’s just that the subsequent scientific and technological research seems a bit difficult.
[Plasma Projection Weapon] Project Team - The firing principle of this weapon is very simple: create a ball of plasma and throw it out.
The killing principle is also easy to understand. Because the plasma is in a higher energy state, it will undergo a violent chemical reaction with the target enemy. At the same time, it can also conduct a large amount of heat and cause huge damage to the enemy.
Like a flamethrower, plasma weapons can not only burn and dehydrate people, but can also scorch the skin until it carbonizes.
At present, the most advanced and widely used thing of the association is actually the plasma cannon obtained from the Sunshine and the Blue Sea Star. This thing was installed on the Red Dragon. During the conflict at sea, the Red Dragon The ship directly completed the feat of 1 vs. 13, taking advantage of the super power and characteristics of the plasma cannon - weak shield, armor piercing, and hull breaking. The ship was as fragile as a blank sheet of paper in front of the plasma weapon.
As long as the Red Dragon fired plasma weapons with the help of the auxiliary design device, one of the White Eagle Association's warships would be destroyed. Its extremely high destruction efficiency made the entire White Eagle Association confused.
Subsequent research related to anti-matter weapons is completely blank for the New Weapons Research Institute. Currently, human research on anti-matter is still focused on definition. It is extremely difficult to capture it, let alone use it as a weapon. .
As a particle predicted by theory and actually captured, antimatter particles are a wonder of high-energy physics. Its well-known characteristic is that when positive matter particles encounter antimatter particles, they will "annihilate". A huge amount of energy is released in the form of photons and other elementary particles, and its power far exceeds any existing weapons of mankind.
If it is to be used as a weapon, it is unrealistic to rely on antimatter particles to annihilate and "dissolve" enemy ship armor. After all, most warships in the real interstellar era have certain protective measures.
In addition, antimatter particles themselves require a large amount of energy to create and capture, so the main method of killing must be the release of huge amounts of energy and carrier particles. As long as conservation conditions are met, large-scale annihilation of high-energy particles can produce a large number of other particles. , and the conservation condition does not include the number of particles.
In this way, a small-scale "Big Bang" can be given to the enemy ship, which is lethal enough.
The relevant principles have been clarified, and the next work of new weapon research and development is quite complicated and mysterious.
It is well known that antimatter will annihilate with positive matter, that is, ordinary matter. So how to stuff it into a warhead to make a missile?
According to the systematic statement of scientific research projects, charged antimatter is restrained through magnetic fields, and neutral antimatter can only use charged antimatter.
According to speculation, there are only two possibilities for creating an antimatter bomb: directly ejecting the freshly baked antimatter particles from the particle accelerator using an electromagnetic device; or collecting them and wrapping them with a magnetic field generating device. Store it in the missile warhead.
The scientific research project directly rules out the first possibility. After all, antimatter missiles have 100% shield penetration, which means they are immune to magnetic fields - and charged antimatter is also composed of charged particles and will be affected by magnetic fields. Isolation; secondly, it is impossible to install a particle collider on a spacecraft. It is not only difficult to meet its power, but also to meet its heat dissipation rate, which is even more difficult.
Therefore, the anti-matter missile provided by the Night Alliance is a very magical thing - it restrains the produced charged anti-matter with a magnetic field and projects it as a live ammunition. Once the magnetic field generating device is destroyed, it will immediately interact with the missile itself. Annihilation, creating a small Big Bang.
Correspondingly, this project also has scientific research projects for defense - refer to the scientific and technological content related to the [Strong Magnetic Field Defense] previously developed, but once it is really encountered, it is restrained by the use of charged antimatter magnetic fields and projected anti-matter bomb, then they can only wait to die.
Basically, if the civilization level is low, you will have no way to deal with this kind of weapon attack.
After Chen Lin saw part of the technology tree display, in addition to being extremely amazed at it, the rest was filled with emotion - according to the humanoid AI Ellie, the universe is vast and huge, with so many places. Civilizations all exist in it, and conflicts and wars between them are common. Therefore, if a civilization wants to develop, it must take steps out of its home star, and when it comes out, it must prepare everything.
Either destroy others or be destroyed. The existence of civilization itself is a cruel and bloody law of the jungle.
The Earth side encountered these big-name civilizations of the Night Alliance before they even left their home planet, and they also received generous help. This is already considered a civilization's luck.
