Chapter 304 The Development of Civilization (Part 2)
304,The Development of Civilization (Part 2)
With the power network all over the planet, the fourth civilization began the construction of another large-scale project - 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 sacrificed the near and far 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 combat programs and are currently stored in underground bases. The remaining 8 million robots are all used by various organizations.
A variety of engineering and civil applications, including fire protection, security, construction, transportation, etc., and even a nanny model specially used to take care of the growth of frozen embryos.
The Fourth Civilization was able to build 5 large cities and more than 20 small towns in just over a year, and these robots contributed a lot. You must know that even now the construction team of the Fourth Civilization has widely adopted SCV. To carry out
Such large-scale construction is also beyond our capabilities.
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 robot, starting with modifying the programming so that they could drive SCVs, and later further optimizing the B-1 robot.
Intelligent Algorithm.
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 knew what this project was.
I 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 the synaptic network. Based on this technology, the Fourth Civilization began to build a network called
A large building at Synapse 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 the single unit complete the calculation.
In this way, the B-1 robots on the entire Dawn Planet will be able to maximize their own 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 has 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 much more flexible because they do not need to replenish blaster gas and are irradiated directly at the speed of light.
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 ordinary steel, and 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 - tri-titanium alloy!
The chemical bond composition and smelting method of tri-titanium alloy are stored in the database, but some 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 to 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!
However, the only disadvantage is that tritanium alloy will react violently with oxygen, so it cannot enter the planet's atmosphere. However, this disadvantage is not worth mentioning. After all, the main battlefield is still in the space environment.
Before the advent of molecular-level materials, trititanium 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 flexibly change its shape according to a preset program. Normally
It's just a generator that's worn on the wrist and can be unfolded into a tool that covers the entire palm of your hand when needed.
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! Simply put, you
This thing has all the functions you can think of.
To put it bluntly, it is precisely because of the universal tool equipment 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 blindly start rioting because of the war outside. This can only be achieved.
The way to death.
Because he knows that the biggest gap between himself and the Galactic Republic is not in technology, but in size. To put it bluntly, it is population, resource production, industrial production capacity, etc. At this time, launching an army is not only useless in narrowing the strength comparison between the two sides.
, but it will slow down your own development.
This is why Tang Xiao strictly prohibited the development of large spaceships.
But even so, it does not mean that the Fourth Civilization's military expansion 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 uniforms made of polymer materials is very comfortable and close-fitting, easy to move and durable in wear.
It resists cutting by shrapnel and can protect the wearer's body from vacuum and low temperature even in space environment.
