Chapter 37 Dreamland: Steel Jungle

The computing power of the super machine's intelligent core, measured by the level of Blue Star's computer technology, would mean that the best supercomputer on Blue Star would be reduced to nothing when faced with the intelligent core.

The computing power gap between the two cannot be calculated rationally!

Therefore, even if the intelligent core has a large task list being processed in parallel, it can easily satisfy Du Qiu's call to the visible light sensing subsystem to sense and observe the external world of the machine.

Of course, it is up to Du Qiu to decide whether to store the observation images.

However, Du Qiu did not immediately change the direction of observation of this subsystem.

He first adjusted some perception subsystems that he could understand to detect whether there were alien life or monitors around the super machine.

After confirming that there was no such thing, he checked the current picture of the visible light subsystem.

Du Qiu looked excitedly as an external scene unfolded before his eyes.

The visible light sensing subsystem of the super machine has more than 100,000 cameras, which can not only observe the details of the production process of each module, but also observe the surrounding environment of the super machine.

The super telescope mentioned earlier, which can see more than 20 kilometers, is located at the top of the super machine and can observe 360 ​​degrees in any direction.

Probably the camera was facing part of the super machine, so what Du Qiu saw was an overhead view.

This picture just appeared in front of Du Qiu's eyes, and he was a little shocked.

This bird's-eye view covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. Within this area, there are many tall buildings of different shapes.

The appearance of certain buildings seemed familiar to Du Qiu, and he immediately remembered that this was the appearance of a certain functional machine in some pictures he had seen before when he was studying the various functional modules of the super machine.

Immediately afterwards, Du Qiu discovered that because he had fixed his vision for a few seconds, some words suddenly appeared next to the building in his vision.

These words were exactly the same as those in the programming language, so Du Qiu immediately understood the meaning. This was the name or logo of the machine.

Du Qiu did not move the camera, but framed each building in his field of view one by one, and found that except for some cube-shaped buildings that had no names, others had them.

Looking at the correspondence between the names of these buildings and the nouns in some functional programs in my memory, it is obvious that this area is part of the super machine.

This super machine is obviously equivalent to a super factory on Blue Star that integrates resource collection and refining.

After confirming that there were no alien life forms or intelligent robots around the super machine, Du Qiu quickly turned his camera.

After turning around in a circle, the entire overhead view was assembled in Du Qiu's mind. Du Qiu was stunned by the area occupied by this super machine.

At least it covers an area of ​​more than one million square meters!

Excluding the 49 huge pipes that go deep into the surrounding ground, the entire area is roughly a regular square. Du Qiu estimated that the side length is about 1,000 meters.

The most peculiar thing is that the midpoints of the four sides of this huge square seem to be connected by straight lines.

Du Qiu looked carefully at the straight line and found that it was a huge crack!

He focused on the crack curiously and found that it did not penetrate the square base.

This square plane is five or six meters higher than the surrounding ground plane, like a huge high platform base.

In this metal square area, Du Qiu didn't see a single figure.

Oh, no, there should be no intelligent life-like creatures or even living animals. The whole area is cold and silent!

Yes, there should be no sound here!

Because Du Qiu looked towards the distance and the sky with the camera.

Du Qiu saw no sign of the existence of the atmosphere. Outside the super machine were rolling hills and many huge potholes.

At first glance, Du Qiu almost thought it was the surface of the moon.

Most of those huge potholes should be meteorite craters, and a few of them seem to have the same size as the diameter of 49 pipes.

As the camera turned, Du Qiu saw an even bigger steel jungle in a certain direction, about 3 kilometers away from the super machine!

The appearance of that steel jungle is somewhat different from the super machine where I am.

The super machine has a silver-white metallic luster on the outside and looks like aluminum alloy, but the color is still different, as are the luster and surface texture.

The steel jungle in the distance has a dark cyan metallic luster on the surface, and it is impossible to tell what kind of alloy it is.

The steel jungle is composed of three huge squares arranged in a zigzag shape.

The side lengths of these three squares are smaller than those of the super machine, and the area of ​​each square seems to be only half that of the super machine.

The two openings of this glyph are facing the direction of the super machine. In the square area on the right, there are various buildings of different shapes, similar to the super machine.

Du Qiu could recognize one or two types of buildings without even using his perception system to identify them. It was obvious that this place was similar to a super machine.

The square on the left is a little different. Most of the buildings in the area are cubic buildings, some high and some low, and the high ones look like they have multiple floors.

Moreover, there are huge columns at the four corners of the square. The appearance of the columns is integrated without any gaps.

What is strange is that the perception system has no identification for the buildings in this square.

Looking at the square at the back, it is basically blocked by the two big guys in front, but because the buildings there are relatively tall, you can see some of the heads of the buildings.

It looks like some regularly arranged cylindrical towers. The columns of these towers are much thicker than the square four-cornered cylinder on the left. They are also divided into five or six floors, thin at the top and thick at the bottom.

Once again, the perception system failed to identify these cylindrical towers.

This made Du Qiu a little bored.

I immediately thought that there must be aliens in this steel jungle that is obviously different from super machines, right?

Du Qiu constantly adjusted the focal length of his perception of the steel jungle, carefully examining every corner he could see.

The various types of buildings within the three squares all have a dark cyan metallic luster on the outside. For the buildings where the signs can be viewed, some Du Qiu can understand the meaning of the signs, while others are completely confused.

Similar to the super machine, these three squares are also five or six meters higher than the ground. The midpoints of the four sides of the squares are also connected by gaps, as if a square has been cut out in the center.

Between the buildings in the square area, there are no streets like the cities on Blue Star, and every building looks closed.

The entire steel jungle also looks silent, cold, and lifeless.

Could this be a place abandoned by aliens?

Du Qiu rejected the idea as soon as he came up with it.

Since there are maintainers and the super machine is still collecting resources and producing various raw materials, it must be a normally operating production area.

Hey, could it be that these are all unmanned and intelligent production areas, and the aliens’ living areas are elsewhere on the planet?

Thinking about it this way, Du Qiu felt that his guess was correct. With the level of intelligence of these huge machines, there was indeed no need for intelligent life to keep an eye on them.

This alien civilization is so far ahead of Blue Star that just one super machine can handle resource collection and primary raw material production.

In the nearby steel jungle are three super machines, probably capable of other types of production.

Du Qiu speculated while looking over bit by bit, hoping to be lucky enough to see something moving.

With such a large production area, raw material transportation, product output, etc., there should be transportation vehicles.

However, Du Qiu glanced back and forth several times, but there was not a single moving object.

This made Du Qiu think of the original idea again, was this place abandoned by aliens?

With this question, Du Qiu woke up!

Du Qiu stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, unable to complain about this sudden way of waking up from his dream.

Every time I just want to get high, then I stop eating.

Du Qiu got up and opened the curtains, letting in the morning light.

Spring is already blooming outside the window, and the greening of the community is good. Taking a deep breath, you can feel the abundant oxygen.

Du Qiu was still in a good mood. He finally reconnected to the dreamland last night and even saw the planet where the super machine was and the production area of ​​the alien civilization.

The most critical thing is that he modified the protective network program so that it could not detect his control of the super machine's intelligent core.

In this way, Du Qiu can maintain the connection with the dream.

He can come there every night through dreams and obtain science and technology from this huge technological treasure house that far exceeds that of Blue Star.

As an engineering Ph.D., there is nothing more satisfying than acquiring these technologies.
