Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 516 Quantum Robotics

After listening to Ning Chen's retelling of these technical details, Song Xiyun also felt that her cognition had been refreshed.

"Hey, if they weren't so determined to destroy us, I might have admired this alien civilization. But what they did was so abominable that I really don't have any good feelings towards them."

"There is no other way. This is the rule of survival in the universe. In the vast universe, it is difficult for two civilizations to be compatible with each other."

"Ning Chen, if you encounter the same thing, will you do the same thing as them?"

Song Xiyun's question made Ning Chen silent for a moment.

After thinking for a while, Ning Chen said slowly:
"I may not take a similar approach to this alien civilization, but no matter what, I will definitely ensure the safety of my own civilization first. If this alien civilization may threaten the safety of our civilization, then I will find a way to limit the development of this alien civilization until they have no threat to us at all..."

This feeling is somewhat similar to the way humans get along with other creatures of the Blue Star civilization. They will neither kill them all nor let them threaten their own survival.

If the day comes when humans are the only ones left on the blue planet, human life will become extremely boring, and the related ecosystem will completely collapse.

"That's true. After all, survival is the most important thing for a civilization. If survival cannot be guaranteed, then no matter how splendid the civilization is, it will not be able to continue to develop."

"Yes, this may be difficult for some people to accept, but it is the simplest truth in the universe. However, I don't want the Blue Star civilization to become a cruel civilization. Instead, we must ensure that our civilization can survive in the universe while retaining our kindness..."

For some civilizations, "kindness" may not even exist, and they may not be able to understand the meaning of this word.

However, Ning Chen feels that this is the most valuable point of Blue Star civilization, and may also be the biggest difference between Blue Star civilization and other civilizations.

If there is no kindness in a civilization, then this civilization will only be a group of smart "beasts". Even if it has the most advanced technology, it will sooner or later destroy itself.

"Ning Chen, I agree with your idea very much. No matter what technological status the Blue Star civilization will have in the universe in the future, I am willing to keep the last bit of kindness in my heart. I believe that the rules of the universe will not be completely ruthless, otherwise there would be no need for us humans to exist."

…………

In the following days, Ning Chen and others continued to study the various technologies that the "God's Believers" organization obtained from "God" at the previous pace.

With the help of the information fragments coming from Pierce's brain, Ning Chen and his team's research efficiency was very high, and they soon succeeded in reproducing each technology almost perfectly.

This also made Ning Chen and Song Xiyun very excited. At this rate of technological development, it is entirely possible for the Blue Star civilization to catch up with the hundreds of years gap with that alien civilization within a few decades.

Xiaozhi's evaluation also confirmed Ning Chen's prediction. According to Xiaozhi's evaluation criteria, the technological level of the Blue Star civilization has improved to a much greater extent than before. This is definitely not the speed of technological development that can be achieved under normal conditions.

At this time, Ning Chen received a piece of information that was very unfavorable to the Blue Star civilization.

"Not good... Song Xiyun, the time we have to confront this alien civilization head-on may be much earlier than expected. We must be prepared to face them in a few years."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun asked in surprise:
"How is that possible? Even if their spacecraft can reach 5% or even 10% of the speed of light, it would still take them decades to reach the Blue Planet. Aren't they at least a few light years away from us? Could it be that they are not far from the solar system?"

According to Song Xiyun's understanding, as long as the transported mass is non-negligible, no matter how huge the energy invested, it is absolutely impossible to make the speed of the object approach or even reach the speed of light.

Ning Chen shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and after sighing, he continued:

"There is no problem judging the distance. What we are going to fight first is not a real alien intelligent creature, but a kind of existence similar to their reflection. But even so, this is not much different from us facing them directly."

Ning Chen's words made Song Xiyun feel more and more confused. No matter how hard Song Xiyun tried to think, she could not understand the logical relationship.

"Ning Chen, what on earth is going on? Stop keeping me in suspense."

Ning Chen was not deliberately keeping Song Xiyun in suspense, but after learning about this matter, Ning Chen was unable to find a good solution for a while.

"Song Xiyun, to be precise, the technology that this organization is currently developing is related to robots. The most terrifying thing about this robot is that it can be combined with ultra-long-distance quantum communication technology to achieve the purpose of ultra-long-distance control. I don’t know all the details of this technology yet, but they have already established this project as a 'quantum robot'..."

After listening to Ning Chen's explanation, Song Xiyun finally began to understand this technology.

"You mean, if this kind of quantum robot is created, then this alien civilization can control these quantum robots in real time, just as if they were in the solar system?"

"Yes, this is what I am most worried about now. The average brainpower level of this alien civilization is very high. Any ordinary intelligent creature can be comparable to the top scientists of our Blue Planet. If such a weapon really appears, we will face a very powerful opponent."

"Ning Chen, are the abilities of this alien civilization's intelligent life really as powerful as you say? Could it be that even artificial intelligence technology is inferior to their level of control over robots?"

"Yes, when the brain power index of intelligent creatures reaches a certain level, it is indeed not something that can be easily replaced by artificial intelligence. It's just like when we were controlling the aerospace fighters, the effect of our actual operation was indeed better than that of artificial intelligence control." After Ning Chen's explanation, Song Xiyun finally understood why Ning Chen suddenly seemed so anxious.

"I see. The quantum array launched by this alien civilization will only take a few years to reach Mars or the Blue Planet. As long as this evil organization can produce this quantum robot and combine it with these quantum arrays before then, we will have to face this powerful enemy."

"What's even more terrifying is that once the technology of this quantum robot matures, the cost of mass production is not particularly high. It is even much lower than our Martian robots. This technology can allow this alien civilization to achieve its goal of ruling us before it officially arrives on the Blue Planet."

After thinking for a while, Song Xiyun said:
"Then Ning Chen, let's take advantage of this opportunity to let Pierce return to our control, and then activate those Martian robots to destroy the power of this evil organization on Mars. In this way, we can strangle the technology of quantum robots in the cradle and resolve the crisis that this technology may bring."

There is nothing wrong with Song Xiyun's idea in principle, and it can indeed solve this urgent problem, but this is not the choice Ning Chen is inclined to make.

"Song Xiyun, I've thought about your idea before, but I still think we should have a better choice. Even if we really stop the "Believers of God" organization from conducting research on quantum robots, this alien civilization will definitely continue to teach them other technologies. And exposing our cards too early will only affect our previous plans..."

Ning Chen does not only consider the interests within a few years, but thinks about the problem from a higher level and regards protecting the fate of the entire Blue Star civilization as his ultimate goal.

Therefore, if we can only resist the impact of the first wave of alien civilizations, but destroy the entire plan, it will undoubtedly be a loss-making thing.

"Then Ning Chen, what should we do now? Just let this evil organization continue to develop this quantum robot technology?"

What Song Xiyun didn't expect was that Ning Chen actually affirmed Song Xiyun's rhetorical question.

"That's right, just let them continue to develop this technology. Of course, the reason we choose to do this is not to sit back and wait for death, but to continue to try to learn this technology. I believe that with our scientific research capabilities, we will be able to reproduce this technology faster than this evil organization and find a corresponding way to restrain it."

Ning Chen's words made Song Xiyun feel as if something had suddenly dawned on her. Although Ning Chen's plan sounded risky, it was undoubtedly a better plan if one considered it from a higher level.

After some psychological struggle, Song Xiyun also made her own decision.

"Ning Chen, I agree with your suggestion! As long as we can find a way to deal with this technology before these quantum arrays arrive on Mars, then even quantum robots won't be a problem to fear."

Seeing Song Xiyun's change of opinion, Ning Chen felt very relieved. No matter how risky the plan he proposed seemed, Song Xiyun would eventually choose to support him.

"Song Xiyun, I'm glad you understand me. In fact, our chances of winning are much higher than it seems, because we have mastered the technology for ultra-long-distance quantum communication. As long as we can create this quantum robot, we can test this technology immediately."

"Yes, Ning Chen, we have another advantage. We both have a higher brainpower index than the members of that evil organization. We have a greater advantage in controlling quantum robots. Even compared to the intelligent creatures of that alien civilization, our brainpower index may not be really behind."

Ning Chen also seemed very confident about this, because if not, there would be no need for that alien civilization to exert so much effort just to suppress the development of the Blue Star civilization.

…………

After deciding to make the research of quantum robot technology the current top priority, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun focused their main energy on this project.

After gradually learning more about the project, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun realized that this research was not as simple as they had imagined, and the technologies involved were also very extensive and cutting-edge.

"No wonder this evil organization insisted on letting Pierce take charge of the project on Mars. In the research on quantum robots, materials science plays a very important role."

Listening to Ning Chen's sigh, Song Xiyun couldn't help but echoed:

"Yes, rather than calling it a quantum robot, it's better to call it a small tank. The material requirements for this quantum robot are even higher than those for tanks. Even Xingchen Technology and Shengzhou University don't have this level of material at all now."

Among the existing material science researchers on Blue Star, Pierce is almost in the top ten. Looking at all the material experts in the "Believers in God" organization, there may not be anyone who can have a stronger level of material science expertise than Pierce.

"Ah, if I hadn't prepared this back-up plan and reserved an interface for the quantum array in Pierce's brain, then our material science level would have been surpassed by this evil organization very quickly. This technical information is too important for us."

"Ning Chen, from what you said, you have found a way to synthesize this material?"

"Well... I can't say that I have found it 100%, but at least I have some ideas. Under the premise that the information is almost equal, it is impossible for Pierce to be faster than me in research."

Speaking of which, Ning Chen still admired Pierce's professional level in materials science, but compared with Ning Chen, Pierce seemed pale in comparison.

In the following time, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had an in-depth discussion about Ning Chen's latest ideas on this material.

During these years of research, Ning Chen has studied a variety of materials, and his mastery of materials science has long reached a level of thorough understanding.

This allows Ning Chen to not stick to any single direction of materials science, but to choose the most appropriate combination of materials based on the actual situation.
