MTL - Starting from Zero-v23 Chapter 71 Shenlong frigate and future

The switchboard room where the son-in-law is located has changed greatly from what it used to be. Now this place has become a huge liquid container filled with biological culture fluid and various chemicals.

This huge training tank is our future biological battleship, the training center of the Shenlong. Of course, you can also say that this is the ship's platform. The difference is that the Shenlong is a biological battleship, so the structure of the ship's assembly platform is slightly different, It's not actually built, it's grown, and it's not normal growth, it's genetically induced growth.

Go to the entrance and exit of the maintenance device on the top of this huge culture tank, then take off all your clothes, enter a special spray workshop, perform a comprehensive disinfection treatment, and then enter the room where the entrance and exit are located from the special channel. At first glance, the room where this entrance is located looks like a submarine base hidden in the mountain. On one side is the ground entrance and exit, and on the other side is a green translucent culture medium. There are five berth-like passages on the ground, the difference is that it is actually a sloping slope, one end is connected to the ground height on this side, and the other end extends into the culture medium.

I came in naked, because I had just finished disinfection and needed a full sync in a while, so I was too lazy to change clothes again. Anyway, although it seems busy here, there are actually no outsiders. All the people working around are automatic robots. There is no human or other dragon family members, and the controller of these robots is the son-in-law below.

Just go down the **** into the ocean of culture medium a little bit. The light green medium was maintained at a level of 37.5 degrees, and the temperature was just right. Compared with normal water, the ratio of nutrient solution is slightly larger, so the buoyancy is also greater, but this is just fine for me, because our dragons' bones are made of metal, so they weigh more, even without weights. Blocks can also easily dive underwater. Of course, the price is that if we want to float on the water, we have to paddle continuously, otherwise it will sink quickly.

As I keep moving forward. The culture medium gradually didn't go over my head, but I didn't start to swim, but first stood still and took a few deep breaths.

This advanced medium functions somewhat like artificial amniotic fluid and can support any mammal on the planet to use the lungs to breathe directly in the medium. But the lungs evolved in response to the gas environment. So suddenly changing to a liquid environment, even if oxygen can be exchanged, it will still be a bit uncomfortable, especially the initial process of sending air to inhale the culture fluid is quite uncomfortable, and it will make you even burst into tears, but it is good to adapt. After all, this is only caused by the incoordination of the nervous system, not the damage.

As a dragon family, of course, my adjustment is faster, a few breaths squeezed into all the gas to complete the perfusion of the culture medium, and then began to swim forward.

In fact, the oxygen content in the advanced culture fluid is very high, and the oxygen content you can breathe is higher than when you are on land, so even ordinary people here will feel that their physical strength seems to have increased. Of course, that's all an illusion. It's just that the increase in the amount of inhaled oxygen reduces the rate of acid accumulation in the body.

Although the light green culture medium is colored, the permeability is very high. As soon as I reached the end of the slope, I saw the huge outline in the solution below. If someone who does not know suddenly sees such a contour in the water, it is estimated that they will scare urine immediately. Because the huge outline is clearly the head of the monster.

In fact, this head should be a dragon head. The shape is designed according to the description of the shape of the dragon in Chinese mythology. Of course, it has done a lot of art processing. It is not as timid as the dragon in Chinese paintings. It focuses on increasing momentum and deterrence. So it looks a bit more scary than a normal dragon head.

Of course, the real horror of this head is mainly its size. This faucet that looks like a mountain peak is really too big, and its volume makes you find no human building that can be used for analogy except for the mountain peak.

In fact, if you can see the body under this head, you will find that it is a complete dragon, not just a head, but it is now standing with its head upright. So I can only see one head from the top.

This dragon is certainly not a biological weapon of our dragon's edge, or it is not a simple biological weapon. We all know the body structure of Shenlong. This shape is quite good if it is moving underwater, but if it is fighting on the ground. Shenlong's body structure is actually very unreasonable. The ancient Chinese dragon totem is actually made up of several creatures. During the Chinese nation's battle, they continued to integrate the totems of various tribes, adding some of the characteristics of some totems to their own totems. Above, and the final product of this kind of addition and modification is Shenlong, although it looks very imposing, but the body structure is completely unreasonable. This is why Long Yuan even created western dragons like Lucky. However, the Oriental Dragon that has not been manufactured as a national totem is not impossible, but the combat effectiveness after it is definitely not too high. At least the shape of the Oriental Dragon is not suitable for most of the ground environment. As for air combat ... let's wash and sleep!

So, since the shape of the Shenlong has been proven to be unsuitable for the environment on the earth, why do we create a Shenlong here? The answer is that this dragon is not designed for the gravity circle environment at all. It is a biological battleship, a space biological battleship that can enter the vacuum environment and perform interstellar navigation.

Shenlong's body structure is not a suitable shape within the scope of the gravity circle, but if it is into space, there are not so many problems. Because there is no such problem as air resistance and wings are not required to provide lift, the shape of the space battleship can be very arbitrary. As long as the structural strength and reasonable internal space are ensured, the shape of the space battleship can be very strange.

Since the space battleship does not have high requirements for the shape, it is not surprising that we have a dragon. Of course, since it is a space warship and not a biological weapon used in the gravity circle, the volume of this dragon must be large enough, which is why the dragon in front of it is so incredible. Of course, such a large biological weapon cannot be lifted off by a rocket booster, it actually has its own power.

The power of this dragon is multiple sets of biological engines located in the body. In principle, this thing is similar to a super electromagnetic engine, except that it is realized by a biological structure, not a mechanical structure. In addition, the propulsive force of this bio-engine is higher than that of the super-electromagnetic engine with mechanical structure, but because this bio-engine is not compatible with the mechanical body, the migrant ship cannot use this bio-engine. Only biological battleships are available.

In addition to the super-electromagnetic engine, this Shenlong actually has almost five million miniature mass-effect thrusters. The reason why the number will be so exaggerated is entirely because this thing is also completely realized in a biological way, without the slightest mechanical structure. Against a mechanical battleship dominated by metallic materials. It is absolutely impossible to produce millions of small thrusters and install them in place. Even if they can do it, no one will do it because the gains and losses will outweigh the cost. But for living organisms, there is no such problem.

For example, humans and tired robots are similar in structure. To make the robot tactile. You must install pressure sensors on the robot. According to the information provided by the leader of the pilgrim, even the high-end living service robots used by the creators, the number of baroreceptors on the body surface will not exceed 2,000. These baroreceptors are distributed on the body surface of the robot. Part to simulate touch. This may not be important for industrial robots, but biological service robots, especially some special models, will have very high requirements in this regard. But even so, two thousand baroreceptors are already at their limit. More words will seriously affect the cost of the robot and other capabilities.

But, how many nerve endings do you know how can the human body feel pressure changes? The specific number is not clear, but it has been determined that there are millions of nerve endings on one leg of a normal person, and the sensory nerve endings of sensitive parts such as fingers will be extremely dense, so a normal person's whole body touch In fact, it is completed by nearly 100 million nerve endings. This level of precision is unlikely to appear on artificial robots anyway, because even if it can do so much, no one will be bored with installing more than 100 million pressure sensors on robots. What's more, the sensory nerve endings on the human body are not only capable of feeling pressure, they also produce temperature and current sensing capabilities. In other words, every sensory nerve terminal in human beings has the ability to sense pressure, temperature and electric field. Of course, the last electric field sensing capability is already very slow.

Just like these neural induction systems. It is impossible for a robot to install hundreds of millions of pressure sensors. But most advanced mammals have sensory nerve endings above a million, which is completely unthinkable in mechanical engineering.

Same thing. You can't install millions of thrusters for a steel battleship, but a Shenlong created by genetic engineering can "grow" millions or even billions of "propulsion organs". Yes, it is advancing the organ. These mass-effect engines are components for steel warships. But for this Shenlong, they are small organs one by one. They are just like organs in the living body, which are responsible for a special function.

The mass effect propellers in this dragon are over one million, and they are scattered throughout the entire body of the dragon. Although the number is large, it will hardly generate any space pressure. Because the specialty of living things is to make good use of every space.

The combined effect of these two thrusters is that this dragon not only has the ability to freely enter and leave the surface of the planet, but also can easily conduct sub-light speed cruises in the interstellar. Of course, this biological battleship actually has a jump equipment, but this thing is mainly used for long-distance navigation, and as an **** battleship for the immigration fleet, this Shenlong probably does not need this equipment.

Sinking all the way, the huge shadow of the dragon head became bigger and bigger in my sight, and soon I could not see the whole picture of the dragon head. What I could see was the huge cliff-like side of my body. The protruding part of the dragon's mouth, and below me is the position of the forehead and eyes of the dragon, but now the two eyes look like two huge lakes, and the position of the dragon's forehead is a huge rhombus. Crystal, this thing is actually a weapon launch port, of course, it is an energy weapon, otherwise it will not be sealed with a crystal.

My goal is not the huge crystal, but the long dragon's mouth on my side. There are two horizontal openings in the upper part of the dragon's mouth, which look like breathing holes, that is, the dragon's nostrils. The design of this nostril is quite different from the mythical Chinese dragon. The legendary dragon of the Chinese dragon is located at the forefront of the head, and it is large and looks quite prominent. However, the design of our nostril is very similar to that of birds. The positions are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the root of the upper part of the mouth, and there are only two holes in the appearance without any protrusions.

In fact, these nostrils are not really respiratory, because this dragon is actually a biological battleship. And it is a biological battleship for interstellar navigation, so it needs to operate in a vacuum environment most of the time, and the breathing function naturally cannot be completed with such simple nostrils. This dragon actually has an internal oxygen circulation system, so it has no respiratory organs. The dragon's "lung" is actually a large hangar for docking medium-sized spacecraft. And this part can be opened outwards to facilitate the spacecraft's entry and exit. As for the nostril and the space behind it, it is actually a berth for space fighters and small warships, as well as a passageway. Or ejection orbit.

Now that both nostrils are open, I can swim straight in.

From a distance, I still don't feel it. When I really enter this huge nostril, I find that this thing is really outrageous. But think about it. This thing is not only the entrance and exit of space fighters, but also the entry and exit of small warships. As for the fact that I am here by myself, it is almost like a dust.

After entering through the huge nostrils, you can see a passage covered with translucent carapace. These things are actually a solidified biomass secretion. The hardness after solidification is comparable to that of advanced alloys, but its biggest advantage is not the hardness and Toughness, but repairability. To put it plainly, it is the same as human fingernails. It can grow continuously, so it can be regenerated regardless of any degree of damage, and there is no need to worry about damage. As the entrance and exit of the passage, the probability of this position being damaged in battle is obviously quite high, and a self-healing material is obviously more suitable for this environment than any steel.

This special material does not completely cover the entire channel, and you can see some structures made of exposed metal materials moving forward. Those things look like train tracks, and they are very large, forming a total of 13 tracks of different sizes in the nasal cavity. These are electromagnetic catapults, which are similar to catapults on aircraft carriers. They are mainly devices that provide the initial speed of the aircraft that needs to set off.

After crossing these things, the passage like a wormhole became a huge metal passage. From here on, the surrounding environment looks like the internal structure of a regular space warship. There is no difference except that the space is particularly large.

Traveling all the way through this huge passage, I soon reached a confluence point, where the nostrils on both sides were connected. Here the channels merge into one, and then extend towards the rear. Here you can see the transverse partition in the center of the channel. This is used to guide the in and out of the aircraft. It is the same as the highway divided into the left and right sides. Here it is divided up and down. The in and out aircraft need to go through the corresponding passages separately to avoid accidents on this main traffic route.

I entered from the aisle above, and after walking a short distance, I saw a person entrance on the side aisle. But I didn't go in, but went on. Dive into the super huge space fighter hangar in one breath, and then swam at one of the relatively large entrances. There are floating passages on the wall here. I reached about 170 floors, and there is a large electronic door on the wall here. As soon as I got close to the door, I opened it on both sides automatically, and then I entered the interior.

This is actually a large elevator. After I entered it, I didn't press the switch, because this thing is completely controlled by the mental network. There are no other buttons on the wall except for emergency stop.

The elevator first moved a distance towards the top of the faucet, then suddenly began to move sideways, and after stopping, I appeared in a quite large space. This place is a place like a transportation hub. From here, you can transfer to elevators in different directions to reach different areas, and there are many passages to go, but I changed to another elevator.

At least forty minutes have passed since I entered the culture medium, but I still haven't reached where I want to go. The hugeness of this dragon is one of the reasons, but more because of the current environment.

From a design perspective, this thing should be used in space, that is, a gravity-free environment. In fact, there is no artificial gravity in this dragon. It is not that we cannot do it, but it is unnecessary. The human body is relatively fragile, and if it is left in a gravity-free environment for a long time, many problems will occur. In addition, in the gravity-free environment, many actions of the human body are restricted, and it is almost inevitable that work efficiency declines because of unaccustomed use. But this dragon is not an immigration ship, but a **** warship, so it is a dragon-only ship. The adaptability of our dragons to the gravity-free environment is obviously much higher than that of humans, and even if we have been in a gravity-free state for a long time, our bodies will not have any abnormal reactions. In addition, our electromagnetic control ability can react to itself through the push-pull method of the magnetic field, allowing us to move at high speed in a vacuum. In this way, the vacuum environment is a more suitable state for us. This is actually one of the reasons why the original creators made us to be living creatures in a vacuum, because then our spatial adaptability will be very high.

If now this dragon is stopped in the orbit of the earth. Then I can reach the place I want to go in at most ten minutes, but the problem is that not only is the gravity-free environment, but the surroundings are also filled with a large proportion of biological culture fluid. Therefore, to move at high speed in this environment, you need to face huge resistance. This **** resistance caused me to move here for more than forty minutes without even reaching the place. Fortunately, it was not far away.

Almost an hour after I entered the culture medium, I finally reached my goal, the brain of the dragon, through a complex network of channels.

As mentioned before, this dragon is a shell that grows out of the son-in-law's body using gene induction technology, and this brain is actually the son-in-law's body. Just to control this huge flooding shell, the son-in-law has multiplied an auxiliary control area. This control area can be understood as the cerebellum, but is only responsible for controlling the body, and does not participate in other rational thinking and the like.

The place where I am now is probably between the body of the son-in-law and the newly-grown cerebellum. There is a control room reserved here. The structure of this control room is very special because it is a standard sphere. Longyuan engineers jokingly called it Dragon Ball, but I think it is more like a bridge.

Because the dragon itself was built for the son-in-law, it actually does not have a bridge in the traditional sense at all. The entire dragon becomes a warship and is also a living creature, and the son-in-law is the creature. brain. So she didn't need the control room at all. The dragon ball itself is not prepared to control the dragon. It is actually more like a conference room. Of course, it can also replace the son-in-law to control the whole function of the dragon when necessary.

There is no such thing as a console in this spherical cabin, and the only device here is the advanced spiritual connection device. One hundred and eight parts of the spiritual connection device like a surgical chair are evenly distributed on the bulkhead around the sphere. At the center is an integrated processor similar to the joint control system in Nova. This processor allows eight Dragon members to lie inside and make advanced spiritual connections with son-in-law. When someone lays in, he will automatically become the secondary processor of the son-in-law and the high-level consciousness aggregate of the entire Dragon clan.

In addition, above the integrated processor, a spherical device with a diameter of more than two meters is located at the center of the entire sphere. This device is currently open, and you can see that there are two fixing devices placed face to face. It can be seen from the shape of the groove that it can just lie in two people. In other words, this sphere is actually prepared for two people.

After looking around the environment here, I swam to the sphere located in the center. When my hand rested on the open hatch, the light inside and outside the entire cabin suddenly turned on. Weak hum. The son-in-law's voice appeared in my ear. "Are you sure you really need to connect directly with me?"

I confirmed with certainty: "Yes, I have some questions and thoughts. These things are too vague, I think it may take a long time for me to figure it out, but you should help me think clearly."

"Since this is your decision, come in."

I quickly drilled into the sphere, and then lay into one of the grooves specially prepared for me. The fixing device designed to fit my body completely fixed me in this groove. The moment I lay down, a huge metal cone was inserted directly into the special connection port behind my head. If it is a human being, it can definitely kill people, but there is a hole in my head. This is a reserved interface specially prepared for advanced spiritual connection.

Except for this part. There are several places in my body that are connected by special connection devices. These things not only connect to my nervous system, but also serve as fixing devices, which completely lock me in this position.

The hatch outside the sphere began to close slowly. The inside of the sphere with the yingying green light turned into an instant darkness, but even the light was useless because my consciousness had begun to connect with the son-in-law's neural network.

Inside the big ball outside, the son-in-law's voice began to respond quickly. "Confirm that the advanced core processor is inserted and the system's highest authority upload is completed. The advanced mode of the psychic network is started. The external information link is disconnected and the closed-loop mode of the internal network is completed. The power is transferred to the core processor and the main system is switched to co-processing mode. Warning, Prophet The system call request, all the dragon thinking units are synchronizing ... synchronization is complete ... the prophet system is fully activated. "

At that moment, the members of the dragon clan all over the world suddenly took a moment to collectively, and then all the members of the dragon clan began to move very slowly. If the people around them were close, they would find that the eyes of the dragon clan members became out of focus. , The response is also a half-time slow, as if thinking about the problem and want to get away.

"What's going on?" The White House. Several U.S. government officials were exchanging opinions with several members of the Dragon clan we left behind, and suddenly found that the members of the Dragon clan in front of them started to be in a daze, and they only answered one question for a long time, and their eyes were dull, and even their hearing seemed to be It's down, and you need to talk to them loudly to have a little reaction.

Similar to the White House in the United States, the dragon members who stayed elsewhere in Long Yuan are basically caught in the state of stuttering, stuttering, and there is no reaction to others speaking, the whole person is like sleepwalking. I couldn't find the focal distance at all.

In fact, this situation is caused by running too much software at the same time as the computer. The reason is that the computing resources are not enough.

The Prophet system launched by Nu Wa also was activated once before, but at that time there were not so many members of the Dragon clan involved in the calculation, so the price was that all military and civilian computer networks around the world were all blocked to varying degrees. Almost all computers connected to the network were requisitioned by son-in-law. The difference between this time and last time is that instead of borrowing external computer resources, we use the internal mental network of Dragon individuals as the computing unit, and there is no external computer involved, so the result is that all members of the Dragon family have stuttered. Happening.

Actually speaking, although we did not borrow a computer from an external network this time, the computing power of our dragons ’biological brains and electronic brains is actually very powerful, and the entire dragon family is now very large. Therefore, the total amount of resources used by the prophet system this time is actually more abundant than the last time. The reason why the freeze still occurs is not a problem of computing resources, but a problem of the prophet system itself.

The so-called prophet system is actually a set of software. Its full name is "regional quantum cross interference calculus system." The prophet system is just an abbreviation. However, the basic function of this system is exactly the same as the abbreviation, which is used to predict the future. Yes, you read that right, this system is used to predict the future.

Although we do not believe in theology, we have to say that the nature of the universe is sometimes very close to some theories mentioned in theology. For example, the prophetic capabilities that exist in both eastern and western myths. There are prophecies in the West, and there is a hexagram in China. Anyway, it is a way to predict the future by some means.

Originally these were myths, but the fact is that the development of the universe is really predictable, and in a sense, the development of the universe is indeed fixed. No matter what you do, the development of the universe changes It is always fixed, it will never change, and there is no power to change this established fact, thinking that the ideas generated in your brain are actually part of the established course of the universe, which means no matter what method you think of To change the world, your thoughts are actually predetermined, and the world you change is an established course for the development of the universe.

Of course, some people will say, "I can choose to do or not to do so I can change the established development path." Yes, you can choose to do or not, but your choice is actually an established fact, because your idea is actually The structure of a series of electrochemical reactions in your brain and a variety of external information is fixed. This result is fixed. They may seem free, but they are inevitable and cannot be changed.

However, all of the above are actually fixed development lines of the macro universe. If it is specific to someone, you don't have to think about these things, how to live or how to live, because the above information is macrocosmology, if individuals act according to this theory. Your life will be very miserable.

Our prophet system is probably such a system. It performs cross-calculation by means of quantum cross interference, bringing all the basic variables that have a greater impact on the future into the calculation, and then a specific future with greater feasibility is obtained.

Note that the result obtained here is not necessarily the future, it is only likely to become the future, not necessarily the future, because there are too many variables in this universe. Although in theory, when you bring in all the variables, you can get an inevitable accurate answer. But in reality, because of the lack of computing power, you can never bring all variables into the calculation. Moreover, some variables are uncertain themselves, so it is impossible to bring in all variables. What we can do is to do as much as possible. Collect the world's variable information, and then calculate and deduct as much as possible.

The more variables we bring in, the more cross-calculation results, and the higher the probability of getting the correct answer at the same time. But at the same time, with the intensification of variables, the demand for computing resources will increase in geometric series.

To put it simply, the requirement of the Prophet System for the computing power of the system is actually infinite, and you will not have enough resources. And the running time of this system is also uncertain. The key is how long you want the information.

The shorter the predicted future distance is now, the smaller the required range, and the lower the reliability of the result, the smaller the demand for computing resources. Otherwise, it requires more computing resources and longer computing time.

The calculation range I requested this time is the entire earth circle. The range can be said to be unprecedented, and the forecast period I require is two years. This time span is also quite high, and the requirement I just set is 80% probability. Future, so the demand for this computing resource is a bit scary. As a result, all members of the entire Dragon clan have experienced varying degrees of overload.

Although the Dragon problem of our Dragons caused some small-scale confusion, it did not cause any serious problems in general. It only scared a lot of people who worked with us, but fortunately, the son-in-law still kept some remaining calculations Resources are used to maintain feedback on external information, so soon those people knew that we were doing some secret data processing on their side, so they were relieved.

The entire calculation process finally ran for three days. After 79 hours, the red light outside the sphere where I was located suddenly slammed into green, and then the door on the surface of the sphere opened outward and spit out at the same time. A lot of bubbles.

"Damn, my head hurts!" When I came out of that sphere, I didn't grab it, and slid down from the top, so that it was surrounded by liquids, and it just sinked slowly to the bottom of the cabin. Nothing.

The son-in-law complained in my ear: "Who made you run for so long? Not only are you having a headache now, but the entire dragon family is hurting, okay?"

"Sorry ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Everyone has worked hard this time!"

Due to excessively long-term overload calculations, the brains of all the individuals of the entire Brother Dragon family suffered a certain degree of nerve damage. Although this damage is reversible, and depending on our physical conditions, it will completely return to normal in a maximum of two hours. But these two hours of headache can't run away anyway!

Of course, at such a high price, the receipt is also huge.

After so long calculations, many problems that I had not been able to think about before are now understood. At least I now know how to do it.

"Son-in-law, you just saw the result of the calculation, you don't need to say anything about the next step?"

The son-in-law immediately put on a very serious tone and replied, "I understand this, but what I can do is actually no different from the previous one, that is, to maintain the current job, and the rest is up to you."

"I understand." After nodded strongly, I said to myself: "I hope everything will be all right afterwards!" (To be continued.)
