Chapter 108 Self-Replication
"Received, start starting the moon's automatic mining equipment now!"
Lu Yongchang's calm voice came from the radio.
The next moment, under the gaze of countless people, a scene with a very sci-fi meaning appeared.
A few indicator lights glowing blue on the surface of the nine silver-white cubes first lit up.
The next moment, as the indicator light flashed continuously, the silver-white cube slowly unfolded along the cracks on the surface.
Due to technical limitations, it is slightly different from the scenes in science fiction movies, and the cube does not unfold very quickly.
But this scene is already surprising enough!
The nine cubes slowly unfolded and then spliced together with each other. The prototype of a mining equipment slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"hiss……"
Even the captain Bai Yixuan was shocked by the sci-fi scene in front of him.
"Damn... Professor Lu and the others have made something..."
Hong Fan, who was standing beside him, looked at the automatic assembly process of the mining equipment in front of him and murmured to himself: "We mean, is there a possibility that Professor Lu is actually an alien?"
All three astronauts were so surprised, let alone ordinary people who saw this picture through the camera!
In just a few minutes, countless audiences flooded into the live broadcast rooms of major platforms.
"Holy crap!"
"If it weren't for the complete loss of picture quality, I would even think this was a piece of science fiction movie..."
"Damn it?! Seriously? I just glanced for a while. I couldn't have traveled through time, right?"
"You woke up and the operation was successful!"
"You can show such a picture for us. So the question is, how many things are hidden in Xia Guo's hands?"
"Rabbit: Not too much, not too much, only 100 million points!"
“…”
Just as everyone was discussing fiercely, the live broadcast screen suddenly switched.
The host Bingbing's sweet smile appeared in front of the camera again.
"Dear viewers, this Moon Palace live broadcast ends here. See you next time."
Before the speech was finished, the live broadcast screen was already black.
“???”
"It's really the speed of light that it's going to play?"
"What about the next content? I want to see what is next!"
"I'm sorry, the next thing is paid content, the payment account:..."
...
More than an hour later.
Seeing that the automatic mining equipment was operating normally, Lu Yongchang on the podium breathed a sigh of relief.
"The surface rock cuttings collection truck has started running, right?"
Kong Xingbang's question came from the side.
Lu Yongchang nodded slightly: "It's different from mining equipment. The surface rock cuttings collection truck started running a week ago."
"The current situation is good. Through the two heating methods of electric heating and solar reflectors, some helium three have been collected."
"The second purpose of Xuannv's No. 1 this time is to bring back these helium three."
Kong Xingbang stood up from the chair with both hands, with a gale of excitement in his eyes: "From now on, the Moon Palace Plan has truly begun to be implemented!"
"Just..." A trace of worry flashed in Kong Xingbang's eyes, "At the current speed, the Moon Palace plan may still be a little slow."
Hearing Kong Xingbang's sigh, the smile on Lu Yongchang's face gradually disappeared.
He sighed slightly, nodded and echoed, "Yes."
"Not only the transportation capacity of Xuannv No. 1, but also the working efficiency of mining equipment are all a big problem."
"I roughly estimate that at the current rate, it may take about five years to fully implement the Moon Palace plan."
Kong Xingbang pondered for a moment and said softly: "The transportation capacity of Xuannv No. 1 is not a problem. One aircraft is not enough. We can build a cross. If not enough, we can build a hundred aircraft!"
"In my opinion, the most important issue at the moment is the efficiency of mining equipment."
"The program is dead after all, and it is on the distant moon. These factors have led to extremely low mining efficiency."
"If... let Zero control those mining equipment, do you think it's feasible?"
Kong Xingbang has seen a fully automatic factory controlled by zero.
At the beginning, due to manpower and productivity, Zero could only control more than ten robotic arms and various machine tools.
In just two months, the number of zero-controlled robotic arms and machine tools has increased by hundreds or thousands of times.
This is naturally not achieved by the original productivity of Xia Kingdom.
After all, Xia Guo could not stop other more important production tasks to specifically manufacture a large number of precision robotic arms and processing equipment for zero.
As a true artificial intelligence, Zero has a real skill.
Self-replicating.
As long as you have sufficient raw materials and sufficient computing power, Zero can achieve exponential explosive growth through several robotic arms and various production equipment!
That is the legendary "explosion soldier".
After seeing the exponentially growing productivity, Kong Xingbang began to think about this.
If the ability of zero is used on the moon...
Perhaps the entire Moon Palace plan can be completed in just a few months!
Thinking of the scene where countless robotic arms operate various production equipment to mine and smelte on the moon, a hot flame ignited again in Kong Xingbang's old and dry heart!
But the next moment, most of the flame was extinguished by a basin of ice water from Lu Yongchang.
"Old Kong, at present, this may be difficult to achieve."
Kong Xingbang stared at Lu Yongchang, who was full of bitterness in front of him, and his dry palm unconsciously held the crutch in his hand.
“What’s the reason?”
He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
Lu Yongchang shook his head bitterly.
"Old Kong, I have thought about the way you said it too."
"Not mentioning the computing power issue, the delay between the earth and the moon alone is enough for us to drink a pot."
Kong Xingbang reacted suddenly.
Yes.
Perhaps because he was too excited, he actually ignored the simplest question.
Earth-Moon communication delay.
Lu Yongchang's voice sounded again: "Lao Kong, the current time for earth and moon information to be back and forth between 2.34 and 2.71 seconds."
"Even artificial intelligence, facing such delays, it may be difficult to accurately operate mining equipment on the moon."
"What's more, zero idle computing power is not much. After controlling this factory, it still needs to be responsible for various computing tasks in the entire laboratory."
Kong Xingbang sighed deeply, his eyes full of loss: "Since that's the case, now we can only build a few more Xuannv number ones and use manpower to fill this vacancy."
Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly: "You don't have to be so pessimistic."
Chapter completed!
