Chapter 374: Lair!
“Ka-ka-ts-ts-ku-ku.”
A fully enclosed truck was traveling on a not very wide road.
The truck was not moving fast, but the amazing thing was that there was no one in the cab.
There was only an empty cab and a steering wheel that turned by itself.
The car compartment was a huge alloy structure with a huge logo in Song font on it: “Furui Technology”.
Two palm-sized drones were flying in front and behind the truck.
There was a pothole on the ground ahead. It was unknown whether it was due to disrepair or human damage. The drone found the problem and sent out an invisible signal, like pheromones between insects.
It only contained a very small amount of information, did not require complex processing, and did not require high computing power support. The low-end and common processors in it could do a lot of things by relying on the accumulation of numbers.
Yes, numbers.
The truck deviated slightly, smoothly bypassed the pothole, continued to move forward, and finally stopped at the edge of a vast field.
The field was endless, occupying the entire sight, with only a few lonely electric poles standing on the horizon.
The huge cargo box on the back of the truck slowly disintegrated and opened in four directions, revealing its true appearance.
Densely packed with drones of all sizes.
Each small grid represents a "room" for a drone, and the entire truck is the "nest" of drones.
First, dozens of small drones automatically flew out and rushed into the sky. Each individual "observed" and "recorded" terrain data, and then planned collective actions through self-organizing networks and fuzzy algorithms, occupying very little performance.
Small drones returned to their nests, and large drones were dispatched to start spraying pesticides.
They have performed similar tasks thousands of times.
Each time, their "mechanical intelligence" is constantly improving.
Together with hundreds of millions of brothers and sisters across the country.

In the city with endless traffic, neon lights are always flashing.
Light pollution is no longer a problem, because this city does not need night.
Countless high-rise buildings stand tall, and any individual can feel their own smallness as long as he looks up.
A metal structure was added to the roof of a central building in a residential area. It was a round low tower composed of "cabinets".
On the top of the tower, there was a logo without any artistic processing.
"Furui Technology"
A drone received information from a huge self-organizing network, and the magnetic charging port on the back was automatically disconnected. With the help of fuzzy algorithms, it avoided colliding with other similar drones coming in and out, and successfully left the nest and went to a corner of the residential area.
The people on the ground, like toys without faces, turned a blind eye to the dense drones above their heads.
On one side of the residential area, a huge truck was slowly reversing, and the side headlights shone on the ground, showing a pattern of "Unmanned driving, please pay attention".
The carriage fell down and automatically extended two slide rails. One by one, cardboard boxes moved along the slide rails. Dozens of drones used the folding frame structure as mechanical claws in turn to grab their respective cardboard packages and deliver them to the destination.
When the drone is powered, it will automatically fly back to the "nest" to charge, and the new drone will arrive seamlessly. No drone is wasting energy. Every rotation of the propeller is full of "collective" self-regulation.
They have performed similar tasks countless times.
Each time, their "mechanical intelligence" is constantly improving.
Together with hundreds of millions of brothers and sisters across the country.

The sun is in the sky, and the earth is vast.
At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, a mirror-colored behemoth is cruising at supersonic speed.
Like a "Very Dragon" patrolling its own territory.
The "Bifang turbofan engine" behind it provides sufficient power, drawing a series of scorching tracks in the air.
Suddenly, the "Very Dragon" discovered an abnormality. There were unusual illegal intruders hundreds of kilometers away.
A big fish, together with its followers.
Invisible information interacted in the air, and the "Very Dragon" transmitted the information to the ground.
A few minutes later, a row of combs appeared on the edge of the sky.
There were dozens of large fixed-wing supersonic drones.
Compared to the cute civilian versions, these big guys have a body size of more than ten meters, a streamlined appearance, and unparalleled power.
In order to reduce unnecessary information exchange, the "self-network" isolates different modules from each other. These big guys have their own territory, the territory of "mechanical intelligence".
They also have legal territories.
They rose rapidly, then drew a strange trajectory, flying towards a big fish on the sea.
They have performed similar tasks countless times, of course, most of them were exercises.
Each time, their "mechanical intelligence" is constantly improving.
Together with the brothers and sisters whose number is kept secret across the country.

On the battlefield of broken walls, rubble and broken tiles.
Unknown armed personnel are relying on the broken streets to stubbornly resist.
In the past thousands of years of war, whether in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons, once the street fighting stage is entered, the difficulty will increase exponentially. No matter how much advantage the attacker has before, if he does not make the decision to completely flatten the enemy with artillery fire, he will eventually slow down and even suffer heavy casualties.
But. Times are changing.
Countless black spots flew in the yellow sand.
Large armed drones landed on the roof.
Under their bellies, there are different "brothers and sisters", some are mechanical dogs carrying weapons, and some are all-terrain remote-controlled cars.
Although they look different, they are just different divisions of labor in a huge "collective".
They have performed similar tasks many times.
Division of labor and cooperation, self-networking, self-organization, and self-coordination.
Even if the hardware computing power is not outstanding, they rely on their huge number and repeated "mechanical behavior" to still improve the collective "mechanical intelligence".
It's like a. tribe.
An ant has no strength, no intelligence, and no value of existence.
Ants can only exchange a limited number of pheromones and execute limited commands in a primitive way.
But when the number of tribes is large enough, this way of exchanging pheromones by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of individuals can still operate efficiently, and rely on inexplicable algorithms to show a very high degree of overall intelligence.
They have no hierarchy, only division of labor and cooperation.
Even if the queen ant only has the ability to reproduce and cannot command even one worker ant, the worker ant will still work hard for the queen ant all his life. (This is the biggest difference between the organizational structure of ant colonies and bee colonies)
Division of labor and cooperation, each doing its own job, breeding, guarding, foraging, raising. No emotions, no intelligence, but in the end, it still has a firm seat in nature.
Ant colony mechanical intelligence
Zhou Rui's consciousness opened his eyes.
Finally understood what the picture that just appeared in his mind was.
That was the "revelation of heaven", an answer given in a way that he could understand and based on his cognitive foundation.
This is the first time it has appeared. There was no similar phenomenon in the last four-elephant structure.
Zhou Rui is not sure if it is because he did not take on all the revelations of heaven last time.
But this time.
This time, this beam of light, this beam of "revelation" shot from the cloud, directly gave Zhou Rui an explanation.
Or
A warning.
