Chapter 1168 Technical Front End

The latest website: Hearing the technical director's explanation, Selena was silent for a few seconds before replying blankly: "...a simple and effective method."

Then she took two steps forward and came to the hemispherical crystal device containing the "Master Brain". The transparent spherical shell was soaked with an artificial brain that looked like a giant organ. This scene had a somewhat spiritual impact on ordinary people. , However, for Selena, who was born in the Eternal Sleeper, the scene in front of her is just an ordinary research object.

Her eyes scanned the metal poles and various catheters fixed in the brain tissue gullies inside the container, and Luo Peini also walked over and introduced the details of the device to her: "The biomass pipeline is connected to the container from below, and the Nutrients from the split pool are continuously delivered to the servo brains at all levels. There are three sets of pumps that operate independently to maintain the circulation of these liquids. Even if one or two sets of pumps encounter an accident, these servo brains will not shut down due to lack of nutrition—— At the same time, there is an independent filter and alarm device at the bottom of each container, once toxic substances enter the circulation system or the metabolic waste in a certain section of the pipeline exceeds the standard, the control center will know immediately."

"What if the toxic substances exceed the system's processing limit?" Selina asked without turning her head, "or other disasters cause the entire 'tower' to be interrupted... Please don't think that I am deliberately making things difficult, after all, reality Any accident can happen in the world, and I have seen too many unimaginable system-wide disasters in the past seven hundred years."

"Of course, your worries are necessary, and we do have the ultimate protection plan," the Countess Luo Penny smiled, appearing full of confidence, "Considering that the most sophisticated and expensive parts of the whole system are these 'servo brains', The final damage control of the entire system is designed around the purpose of preserving the servo brain—if an irreversible disaster occurs in the factory, the servo brain will immediately smash these containers and retreat by itself through the reserved escape route. Their flight speed Soon, the muscle strength of the nerve tentacles is strong enough to deal with the stuck ventilation grill or sewer opening, and the ability to escape is very strong."

Luo Peini's voice fell, and the technical director next to him added two sentences: "In addition, in order to ensure that the factory host can maintain a certain escape ability for a long time, we arrange these servo brains to leave the wetware slot in turn every week for physical training, including Long and short flights and lifting and pulling with the tentacles, and we plan to do fire and poison drills on them every six months - training with the workers in the factory."

Luo Peini nodded: "All workers will receive common sense training about servo brains and gradually become familiar with them, so as to ensure that they can deal with the relationship with servo brains according to the normal colleague relationship--His Majesty reminds us to keep in mind, all The mental health of employees is something that Glenn Heavy Industries has always paid attention to."

Selena: "..."

"Ms. Selina?" Noticing the strange expression of the node bachelor in front of her for a moment, Viscount Luo Penny couldn't help asking, "Any questions?"

"……No,

I just think... well, it's all reasonable," Selina rubbed her forehead with a strange expression, and then muttered as if she was talking to herself, "The things that Bertila created are getting more and more strange... ...It's really thanks to you ordinary people with normal three views that you can just adapt to the weird things she created..."

Hearing Selina's low grunt, Luo Penny smiled: "No matter how weird a magical product is, it's just a tool. For a generation who first came into contact with magical products, rumbling steel monsters and floating in liquid There is no essential difference in the giant brain of the world - in fact, due to the weird impression left by some traditional dark wizards on the world, the latter may be easier for the public to imagine."

Selena nodded lightly, and did not dwell on this topic. Instead, she looked up at the servo brains soaked in the container, and seemed to be lost in thought for a while, until a few seconds later, Viscount Luo Penny's The voice came again: "In fact, there are still many people who are confused about these servo brains. The main reason is that people always think that these artificial brains can think like humans, especially when they see their 'alive posture', this kind of feeling seems to be The feeling of facing an intelligent individual is particularly strong..."

Selena turned her head and glanced at the female consul with a half-smile: "Are you included among these people?"

Luo Peini was expressionless: "I am a mage, I only believe in the data obtained from research, and I don't care about this kind of bias based on intuition."

"Ms. Consul, even mages will be shaken when they see these cutting-edge technologies for the first time. There is nothing embarrassing about it," Selina smiled faintly, "Any new technology will always cause such and such Worry, and in fact they do have various hidden dangers - there is no absolutely safe technology in the world, only continuous stringent security measures, and the cost of trial and error to obtain these security measures.

"Servo brains will not be as intelligent as humans. Although they are an important part of the 'intelligent era' planned by His Majesty, the 'intelligence' of these brains is not the same thing as ordinary people understand. Their Nerves cannot produce complex thinking processes from the physical structure, but can only handle heavy data calculation tasks. Of course, they also have some basic thinking activities, such as eating and...cooperating with your physical training, etc., but this kind of thinking Activities are closer to animals than humans.

"In the end, Ms. Archdruid Bertila didn't design a foundation for these brains at all, and she didn't leave room for them to rely on reproduction to seek genetic mutations, so don't worry, they are just more advanced tools... ...perhaps consider it a loyal 'animal companion'?

"However, as I said just now, there is no absolutely safe technology in the world - no one knows what kind of problems these servo brains will have in the future, and the impact on society after their large-scale application is difficult It is estimated that, just as magic technology changed our way of life, these servo brains will definitely have a similar impact and change, and this is what government administrators like you and technicians like me have to face together Problem."

"Your statement is exactly the same as His Majesty's." Viscount Luo Penny shook her head with a smile. "That's how he described the problems we faced in our development."

"I'm a loyal reader of "The Holy Words of the Emperor," Selina suddenly blinked, "I've read every volume."

Then she waved her hand, and instead of letting the topic slip in this direction, she raised her head and pointed her chin at the "mastermind" who was on standby: "I already have a general understanding of this system--now we should Waking up this sleeping...friend as planned?"

"Of course," Luo Peini immediately returned to the state, nodded with a serious expression, and then instructed the management staff beside her, "Ring the bell and notify everyone to enter their posts."

A moment later, a sharp and rapid bell rang in the factory area, and workers and technicians who were already ready came to the workshop one after another—even though the control of the wetware host can greatly improve the efficiency of the production process and reduce the number of operators in many positions, However, this system still needs human assistance and supervision. In addition, the system is currently in trial operation, so a certain number of operators are still needed in the workshop.

A window was opened in the middle of the "wetware control tower" in the depths of the workshop. Luo Peini and Selena stood in front of the window and watched the situation in the workshop. They saw that the personnel were all in place, and signals of readiness came from everywhere. Behind them, the technical director came to the main brain's console and pulled down the black lever in the center.

A series of bubbles rose from all the containers, the runes flashed between the base and the pipes, and the sleeping mastermind was instantly awakened. These loyal control units thought about it carefully, and then—the whole workshop came alive .

In Selina's field of vision, she saw that the rivers of thinking that were originally flowing quietly suddenly became extremely active, and the continuous pulses of thinking flowed around along the nerve cords all over the workshop, just like an originally dim network. It was suddenly lit up, and the "thinking" of the servo brain was injected into the neatly arranged large machines, so all the heavy gears and connecting rods started to spin——

"The execution units are running normally!" "The signal of the nerve cord is normal!" "The monitoring of the biomass pipe network is normal!" "The blood sugar of the servo brain is normal!"

Amidst the continuous reports, Selena showed a faint smile. Even though she was a ghost, she still took a deep breath as if she was alive in the world, and let out a sigh: "Finally... the dark knowledge of the past is gone again. For once there was the light of the right path.”

...

North of Rock Fortress, lower reaches of the Gorgon River, Pompeii area, warm wind blowing from the south has swept across the large wasteland outside the development zone boundary, and the wind is mixed with a slightly damp earthy smell-this heralds a summer rain coming soon.

This year's rain is more abundant than in previous years, and the water level of the Gorgon River has been rising all the way. However, after careful research, scholars have confirmed that this level of rainfall will not cause floods, and the people living in the central area of ​​the Holy Spirit Plain can rest assured Come, and hope that the last part of summer will be smooth and rainy, so that this year can have a good ending.

A large factory is located in the development zone on the east side of this riverside city. This factory, which was put into operation this year, has multiple magic energy obelisks and several towering magic power dissipation towers, and there are straight and wide roads leading from the factory area. Passing through, extending all the way to the pier on the Gorgon River, various features show that this is a heavy factory that produces large-scale magic devices, and the government affairs office here has high hopes for it.

In the loading and unloading area of ​​the factory, a heavy-duty truck is parked next to the transfer platform waiting to send the goods out of the factory. Several workers and technicians are busy at the scene, checking the boxes one by one while manipulating the machinery to move the heavy crates. condition of the goods.

Among the operators at the scene, a tall middle-aged man was particularly eye-catching. In addition to his more robust figure than ordinary people, obvious scars and subtle scars could be seen on the face and neck of this middle-aged man The crystallization symptoms of the crystal cluster—this shows the identity of a middle-aged man: he is a "healer", a person who survived the catastrophe of crystal clusters, and a glorious rebuilder of this land.

The mechanical lifting device was running, and the last large crate was safely placed on the heavy-duty truck. After confirming that the mechanical device had stopped and locked, the middle-aged man put down the controller in his hand and jumped onto the truck with two other workers. Get ready to secure those crates in place with carabiners.

"The first batch of finished products... is finally finished," a worker said next to the middle-aged man. "This is a precision thing... I hope they can all be sent to the testing ground in the imperial capital safely."

"By the way... why did you build such a large anti-gravity unit?" Another worker made a confused voice, "I have seen dragoons in the north, and the 'cloud base' carrier aircraft used for transportation , they can’t use such a large anti-gravity unit...one unit is only this big, I really don’t know how big the anti-gravity ring formed by them is..."

The middle-aged man with scars and crystal marks on his face glanced at the two workers, and reminded in a low and hoarse voice: "This is not something we should pay attention to. Don't just speculate on the plans of the empire."

"Hey, Sam, you're just too serious—it doesn't violate any confidentiality agreement to talk about products in the factory area, not to mention that these parts themselves are not classified," a worker waved his hand, and then lowered his voice , "Hey, are you really not curious? Oh yes, you were transferred from the north recently... Maybe you don't know the situation of this factory..."

The middle-aged man called Sam ignored the chattering man. He just lowered his head and glanced at the label on the crate, which printed the brief information of the goods in black and white letters:

Standard-III anti-gravity unit (welded type), from: Pompeii Special Manufacturing Center, shipped to: Cecil City.

Below the label, there is an additional line of marking: The Empire's Magic Technology Department, authorized by Minister Rebecca, is accessible within the territory.

"Fixed." "This side is also fixed."

A colleague's voice came from the side, and Sam then looked away.

These large magic units can be used to form an anti-gravity ring with a diameter of more than ten meters. They represent the processing limit of modern factories in terms of rune devices, regardless of the princess who was praised by the emperor as having a "steel mind" And what kind of plans did she conceive with her head, which is extremely good at dealing with steel machines, behind these rings must point to some kind of great creation that can shock the world—just like the magic engine and rune cannon in the past, Or the running magic train and the amazingly powerful steel warship.

But none of these things mattered much to him.

For him, instead of focusing on these mysterious magical parts, he should focus on the healing of this land and this prosperous summer.

Standing on the truck, Sam looked out over the young forest north of Pompeii—a burnt wasteland a year earlier, a landmark that represented the demarcation line of the contaminated zone during the drede war.

Although the crystal cluster army did not attack Pompeii, in order to prevent the spread of pollution, the Cecil Corps used heavy burners to completely burn a large area north of Pompeii, creating a "purification zone". The burned land was shocking, but as His Majesty said, new shoots will always be more luxuriant on the burned land.

Now, the luxuriant scene has appeared-although in Sam's opinion, the growth rate of the forest this summer is a bit abnormal, but those forests that seem to grow overnight are really pleasing to the eye, covering the land with lush green The last piece of burnt scorched earth on this piece of land also shows that the ecology of this piece of land is on the way to complete recovery.
