304. The Development of Civilization (Part 2)

With the power network spread throughout the planet, the Fourth Civilization started another large-scale project. Build - robots!

Because the Fourth Group now has a very good relationship with the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association, and their robot-related technologies are very advanced, the Fourth Group has not looked far away to develop a new robot.

The 10 million B-1 robots previously purchased by the Fourth Group from the Interstellar Banking Association have all arrived. Only 2 million of them are programmed into combat programs and are currently stored in underground bases. The remaining 8 million robots are all used in various engineering and civil applications, including firefighting, security, construction, transportation, etc. There are even nanny models specially used to take care of the growth of frozen embryos.

The Fourth Civilization was able to build five new large cities and more than 20 small towns in just over a year, and these robots played an important role. You must know that even if the fourth civilization's construction team now widely uses SCV, it is still beyond their capabilities to carry out such a large-scale construction.

However, the scientific research department of the Fourth Civilization did not stop because of this. They first carried out a large number of modifications to the B-1 robots, starting from the initial modification of the programming so that they could drive SCVs, and then further Optimize the intelligent algorithm of the B-1 robot.

After that, the Fourth Civilization established a separate department to specialize in the research of intelligent robots. And this department immediately launched a mysterious project under the leadership of two master scientists. No one knows what this project is. They can only know that it is probably related to robots. The name of the project...

G-Project.

After half a year of research, this project team came up with the first result, which was applied to the B-1 robot on the Dawn Planet. This is called a synaptic network. Based on this technology, the Fourth Civilization began to build a large building called a synaptic node.

After completion, all B-1 robots will upload their operations to the synapse node for data sharing. Once there is an operation that cannot be completed by a single B-1 robot, other computing power will be available through the synapse node. The idle B-1 robot joins the calculation to help this single entity complete the calculation.

In this way, the B-1 robots on the entire Dawn Planet will be able to maximize their skills, thereby alleviating the situation where the B-1 robots often act cute due to insufficient computing power.

In addition, scientific research in basic physics has also made progress.

The energetics department led by Guan Yan further developed ultraviolet laser weapons based on blue laser weapons. This laser weapon has a shorter wavelength than blue laser, so its energy is more concentrated and its destructive power is stronger.

After the development of ultraviolet lasers, although the destructive power of the fourth civilization's laser weapons is still far from that of blaster weapons, they are flexible because they do not need to replenish blaster gas and are irradiated directly at the speed of light. The resistance is also much greater, making it very suitable for use as a point defense weapon.

In the field of materials science, scientists have successfully applied nanomaterials. The hardness and ductility of this material are more than a hundred times greater than that of ordinary steel. It has now been used in large quantities in the construction of spacecraft.

On the other hand, materials scientist Qu Xuewen has finally returned to her hometown. The materials team she leads is conquering a material from "EVE" in the database-tritanium alloy!

The chemical bond composition and smelting method of tri-titanium alloy are stored in the database, but some of the materials in it are not available in the "Star Wars" world, so materials with similar properties must be found to replace them, which takes a lot of time. Compare. But if it can be completed, trititanium alloy will be an excellent material for space-based buildings and spacecrafts. This material has good energy blocking properties, and its toughness and hardness are higher than current nanomaterials. The important thing is that the cost is still very low!

But the only disadvantage is that tritanium alloy will react violently with oxygen, so it cannot enter the planet's atmosphere. However, this shortcoming is not worth mentioning. After all, the main battlefield is still Still in space environment.

Before the advent of molecular-level materials, tri-titanium alloy will become the main spacecraft construction material of the fourth civilization.

A big reason for these breakthroughs in scientific research is a small device - the technology from "Mass Effect", Omni-tools!

This tool can be said to be a combination of a personal terminal, processing tools, analysis detection device and melee weapon. It is a semi-energy body equipment constrained by a stance and can be used according to a preset program. Flexible to change shape. It is usually just a generator worn on the wrist, but when needed, it can be unfolded into a tool that covers the entire palm.

With the help of universal tools, scientists and technicians can easily complete the functions of data review, networking and parts processing with their hands. When necessary, it can even be used as a melee weapon or even unfolded into a shield! To put it simply, this thing has all the functions you can think of.

To put it bluntly, it is precisely because of the equipment of universal tools that the efficiency of the fourth civilization, whether it is scientific research or manufacturing, has increased by at least 10% to 20%!

The current state of the fourth civilization is exactly what Tang Xiao desired. Although the Milky Way is in chaos, he knows that the fourth civilization cannot be in chaos, let alone start a blind rebellion because of the war outside. This can only be a way to death.

Because he knows that the biggest gap between himself and the Galactic Republic is not technology, but size. To put it bluntly, it means population, resource production, industrial production capacity, etc. At this time, violent troops will not only be useless in narrowing the strength comparison between the two sides, but will actually slow down their own development.

This is why Tang Xiao strictly prohibited the development of large spaceships.

But even so, it does not mean that the military expansion of the Fourth Civilization has completely stopped. On the contrary, it is just accumulating more in order to accumulate more knowledge.

The Fourth Civilization has made a lot of groundwork in military technology. The breakthroughs in ultraviolet lasers and materials mentioned above are only one aspect. The Fourth Civilization has also improved its military strength in many details.

First of all, for example, the military uniforms of the Fourth Civilization Army have now been completely replaced with the light combat uniforms in "Mass Effect". This kind of military uniform made of polymer materials is very comfortable and close-fitting, easy to move and durable in wear. It can resist the cutting of shrapnel. Even in the space environment, it can also protect the wearer's body from the effects of vacuum and low temperature.
