Chapter 519 Robot Civilization

"Song Xiyun, we have almost fully developed the technology we can learn from this alien civilization. Next, I think we can study some technology of our own."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun looked incredulous. She had never expected that Ning Chen would have such an idea.

"Ning Chen, even if we just reproduce their technology based on the information we got from Pierce, it's already so difficult. At this time, you actually still have the energy to research a brand new project, and we created the project ourselves... I don't doubt your ability, but isn't this thing a little too difficult?"

"This does sound difficult, but I actually have some ideas now. Song Xiyun, you have to know that after going through this research process, I am no longer the same person I used to be."

With the help of the system, Ning Chen has always been able to make rapid progress. The influx of a large number of high-tech alien civilizations this time has also rapidly improved Ning Chen's experience points in various subjects.

Coupled with the increase in brain power index and evolution points, Ning Chen has become a completely different person from who he was a few months ago.

Feeling Ning Chen's unfathomable ability, Song Xiyun also knew that Ning Chen did have the capital to be proud of this.

"Ning Chen, tell me quickly, do you have any ideas for new projects now?"

These days, Song Xiyun and Ning Chen have been studying some scientific research topics that have been done by this alien civilization. To be honest, the feeling of repeating what others have said is not very good, and it always makes people feel a lack of freshness.

"It's like this. I plan to build a robot civilization so that they can fight against this alien civilization at a critical moment. This is not only very difficult, but also full of risks. However, at this time, we must give it a try..."

After hearing the concept described by Ning Chen, Song Xiyun subconsciously felt that this concept was a bit too advanced.

"Robot civilization? Ning Chen, do you mean that you want the robots we make to be able to build their own civilization system?"

"Yes, not only that, I also hope that they can reproduce and develop freely like normal biological civilizations. Well... this concept is indeed a bit advanced. I don't even know whether that alien civilization has constructed a similar concept, but I still hope I can give it a try."

Even though Ning Chen had never collected similar information from Pierce's brain, Ning Chen still believed that he had a chance to carry out this research.

After that, Ning Chen continued to tell Song Xiyun in detail about the details of his robot civilization and how to solve the problem of robots' independent development and reproduction.

"Song Xiyun, my idea is to let robots try to simulate the way humans evolve and reproduce, so as to obtain this ability that only living things have. The specific implementation method is to simulate genes through programs, and because such genes can randomly fluctuate and have some permutations and combinations, this is very similar to the evolution and reproduction of living things..."

Ning Chen's ideas gave Song Xiyun a feeling of refreshing her cognition, but because the technology involved was too complicated, Song Xiyun still had many things that she didn't understand.

"Ning Chen, I have basically understood how robots can simulate the evolution and reproduction of organisms. But how can we make them eat and grow normally like normal organisms?"

Because of the special features of robots, their bodies are not made up of muscles, fat and other components, but of a variety of artificial materials.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a very difficult task to expect a robot to be able to grow its own body on its own.

Ning Chen had naturally thought about this question a long time ago, and patiently explained to Song Xiyun:

"This is the special feature of robot civilization. In order to ensure that this kind of robot can grow autonomously, we will design a 'machine material processing plant' in the body of each robot. This so-called processing plant is similar to the growth and development system of an organism. It allows the robot to autonomously ingest some substances that may be absorbed by them, and then digest them through the processing plant. The final waste materials can also be discharged from the body through the robot's excretion system..."

Listening to Ning Chen's further explanation, Song Xiyun couldn't help but feel that Ning Chen's design plan was truly epoch-making.

"Ning Chen, you are such a genius! If this robot civilization plan can really be realized, then you can be said to be the 'creator' of this robot civilization."

This made Song Xiyun vaguely feel that the creatures of the Blue Star civilization might also be the creation of a certain "creator", because she really couldn't believe that such a sophisticated biological structure was really just created by nature.

"Strictly speaking, if I can really create this robot civilization, then the title of 'Creator' is indeed correct. But what I am a little worried about now is that even I will find it difficult to control the development of this civilization, so I will definitely not allow this experiment to continue on Blue Planet."

This was the first time that Ning Chen felt fear about his research project. After all, this robot civilization was full of too many uncertainties. If they were allowed to continue developing, the final result might be something that even Ning Chen could not predict.

If Ning Chen chose to conduct this experiment on the sci-fi island on Blue Star, once the technological level of this robot civilization was beyond his control, then the Blue Star civilization would probably encounter a serious crisis before the alien civilization arrived.

"That's right, Ning Chen, this experiment is indeed full of risks as you said. But if you don't conduct the experiment on Science Fiction Island, where would you choose to conduct the experiment?"

Since this is a creative experiment of civilization, the location of the experiment must not be small, and it would be best if it were a complete planet.

Apart from the Blue Planet, the most suitable planets for survival in the solar system are naturally the Moon and Mars.

However, at present, these two planets are obviously not suitable for conducting this experiment. The moon has been well developed by Star Technology, and some people will soon be able to settle on the moon. Mars is currently occupied by the "God's Believers" organization, so naturally, it is impossible to conduct experiments. "If it weren't for the current situation, I might choose to conduct this experiment on Mars. After all, considering various factors, Mars is definitely the most suitable planet in the solar system for this experiment. But if I have to choose now, I might tend to choose Titan as the location for the experiment."

When she heard the word "Titan", Song Xiyun quickly understood why Ning Chen made this choice.

Although Titan is just a satellite of Saturn, it is still very large. It is the second largest satellite in the solar system and is even larger than smaller planets.

Moreover, there is an atmosphere and a large amount of organic matter on Titan, and there may even be certain water resources. Even if it is just a robotic civilization, there will be a certain demand for these resources.

It is precisely because of these factors that Ning Chen chose this planet from the many planets in the solar system.

However, the actual environment on Titan is still very harsh. Normal creatures would not be able to survive on Titan. Even if it is just a robot, it would be difficult to work normally in such a harsh environment without special design.

Fortunately, through the research on quantum robots, Ning Chen has already possessed such a strong material. Even the harsh environment on Titan cannot have any impact on the performance of this material.

"Song Xiyun, once we successfully create the 'seeds' of this robot civilization, we can transport these seeds to Titan. As for whether they can successfully develop into a civilization, that is something we don't know."

"Ning Chen, if... this robot civilization has really developed to a level that even we cannot control, and can perform various actions in space, then I'm afraid we really have to face this robot civilization head-on."

This is obviously a result that no one wants to see. Even if Ning Chen created this robot civilization, it does not necessarily mean that this robot civilization will be grateful to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen had naturally thought about this problem a long time ago. The purpose of Ning Chen creating this robot civilization was to deal with that alien civilization, not to let the Blue Star civilization destroy itself prematurely.

"The method to restrict this robot civilization is also very simple. That is to imitate the method of the previous evil organization and block the entire atmosphere of Titan so that nothing can leave Titan's atmosphere. In this way, no matter how this robot civilization develops, at least it will not affect things outside Titan."

Seeing that Ning Chen had already made preparations for these possible hidden dangers in advance, Song Xiyun felt relieved and no longer worried too much about this research project.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun worked together to develop a research plan for the "Robot Civilization" project.

First of all, with Star Technology's current aerospace capabilities, it is entirely possible to send things to Titan, but it will take even longer than going to Mars.

However, since this is a long-term plan, the time is completely within Ning Chen's acceptable range. After all, this is an experiment on the development of civilization and it certainly cannot be completed in a very short time.

Next, what Ning Chen and Song Xiyun need to do is to create the “seeds” of this robot civilization.

This seed is not as small as the plant seeds in the conventional sense, but has a relatively large volume. Otherwise, they will definitely not be able to complete the procedures of ingesting substances, processing materials, etc.

However, since the risks of this experiment are difficult to control, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun did not dare to conduct detailed experimental tests on the Science Fiction Island. Instead, they used simulation technology to replace some experiments with uncontrollable risks.

Similar to biological genes, the genetic information of robots used to simulate biological genes may also be leaked into the environment and cause pollution. Once these substances combine with organisms on the blue planet, the consequences will be immeasurable.

Therefore, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun were particularly careful during the experiment. Even if the progress would not be so fast, they had to prioritize ensuring the safety of the experiment.

After several months of research, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun finally successfully developed the "seed" of this robot civilization. However, due to safety concerns, they had to skip many experimental processes and only used simulation methods for verification.

This kind of experimental method undoubtedly means that the results of this experiment may not be so convincing, but Ning Chen and Song Xiyun do not plan to conduct these experiments again. Whether the seeds of these robot civilizations can really develop into a civilization is something that needs to be considered later.

Besides, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun are full of confidence in their research. If nothing unexpected happens, the results of these simulations will definitely be successfully verified.

After sorting out the seeds of these robot civilizations, Ning Chen transported them to a space launch site of Star Technology through the company's secret underground passage and completed the launch procedure.

"Normally, it takes about six years for human spacecraft to travel from the Blue Planet to Titan, but with Star Technology's current aerospace technology, this time can be compressed to two to three years, or even shorter. By that time, the quantum robots of this evil organization should have been developed, and we will face the first round of attacks from this alien civilization."

During this period, Ning Chen no longer needs to worry too much about things related to robot civilization. He just needs to let them develop freely and occasionally learn about the relevant situation.

"Ning Chen, judging from the information recently transmitted from Pierce's brain, they have made a lot of progress in their recent research, and their development of Mars has become more extensive. Fortunately, they have never discovered our robots hidden on Mars, which means we still have a chance to regain control of Mars."

"Don't worry, Song Xiyun, Mars will be back under our control sooner or later. When they officially launch an attack on Blue Star, this evil organization will be completely destroyed."
