Chapter 176 The Power of Artificial Intelligence

Standing at the observation point and looking forward, the smoke from the Kilauea crater at an altitude of 1280 meters rises, and occasionally bright magma is mixed in and sprayed out in strands.

Looking down from a helicopter, the entire crater is like a cauldron, with many small pots in the cauldron, forming a vast magma lake.From time to time, several meters high magma fountains are ejected from the lake with a diameter of nearly one thousand meters, just like colorful sparks, gorgeous and colorful.

On the other side of the mountain, not far away is the seaside.The lava flowing out of the magma lake flows along the pitted black soil, and after slowly cooling down, it finally flows into the sea, continuously expanding the land area of ​​the Big Island of Hawaii.

As the lava overflows, the temperature continues to drop, and the extreme thermophilic bacteria attached to it will also be destroyed or even die as the temperature drops.

So in order to collect a complete sample of the flora, the robot must go as far as possible to the crater.

The robot teams of the five laboratories crossed the observation line one after another, and the helicopters of each company immediately took off, flying at low altitude, tracking their respective robot teams, and heading deep into the hinterland of the crater.

In the helicopter with the KIKU logo printed on it, Eliza still made an introduction dedicatedly: "Dear audience, now we have noticed that five robot teams are winding forward. In the first 500 meters, there is basically no flowing lava. The robot team is moving normally."

"...But we can notice that the Tianyu intelligent robot that set off at the end is already far ahead, leaving the other robot teams far behind. And we found that the Tianyu intelligent robot has the most load. They seem to bring a lot of equipment. These equipment What it is used for, I believe we will understand later."

"...Oh, buy high, in the robot team in Oak Ridge, two robots fell down unfortunately. As you can see, the robots have tried to stand up, but unfortunately, failed. The helicopter quickly approached, and the Control engineers are urgently performing human intervention and adjustments..."

"...Dear audience, Eliza has made a major discovery. Among the five robot teams, only the Tianyu intelligent robot team has no one to follow and intervene, and the other four teams are all equipped with engineers to track them all the way."

Observation point station.

Dr. Feynman and other laboratory leaders were all nervously observing the latest trends of the collection robot through the telescope.Only Wu Tao sat down with a relaxed face, tasting the coffee that Mia offered him.

In fact, what Feynman has been paying attention to is not the trend of Google robots, but the situation of Tianyu robots.

He really couldn't understand why Wu Tao let the robot carry so many loads and equipment. Isn't it just a simple task of collecting bacteria? Could there be other tricks?

After crossing the 500-meter cordon, the helicopter of KIKU TV suddenly pulled up.

"Dear audience, after the on-site control by the control engineer, one of the robots in Oak Ridge failed to regain its balance and had to withdraw from the mission."

"The 500-meter cordon is ahead, and the lava on the ground is already clearly visible. You can see that the Tianyu collection robot team crossed the cordon first, and the other four are still 300 meters away. This feeling is like special forces The gap with children! Is this the power of artificial intelligence?"

On the helicopter driven by Simon, a group of Japanese technicians were observing the movements of the Tianyu robot in amazement.

"Have you noticed that the road conditions of Tianyu robots are more complicated than those of other robot teams, but they run the fastest!"

"Yoxi, the Tianyu robots have entered the dangerous zone where lava is everywhere. Look, every step of their route has been precisely calculated, their feet are very accurate, and their speed is not stagnant. It seems that the robot integrated with the 3D environment model reconstruction technology The visual system is simply perfect!"

"Nani! How smart to avoid even a small landslide!"

"Look, twenty intelligent robots are divided into ten groups, and the travel route is different!"

At the same time, Dr. Feynman also noticed the group actions of Tianyu robots in the telescope.

'Group action? Dr. Feynman was puzzled: "In such a dangerous environment, let the robots act in groups, and the collection success rate will inevitably be affected. Doesn't he know?" '

The next moment, I saw the last group of intelligent multi-legged robots parked beside a stable lava river.One of the robots took out a special titanium-plated shovel and quickly dug a small hole along the river.Another robot took out a thick titanium alloy plate and blocked it between the small pit and the river.

Then put a quartz high-temperature pot in the small pit, pour in pure water samples, and then open the special hole door on the titanium alloy plate, a trace of fiery red lava flows into the quartz high-temperature pot immediately, and the special hole door is closed immediately.

When a small amount of high-temperature lava encountered the water sample, there was a bang bang bang bang, and the inside of the quartz pot immediately became steamy.The collection robot quickly took out the test tube for sampling, and finally put it into the sample box with constant temperature and pressure.

Dr. Feynman, who watched through the telescope, did not see all this clearly. He just vaguely felt that the two robots cooperated very well, and seemed to be doing something according to the steps!
Could it be the pretreatment of flora samples?
The more Dr. Feynman thought about it, the more he felt that this judgment was very likely, because he saw the Tianyu robot take out water samples, test tubes and other utensils through the telescope.

Pretreatment of flora samples will undoubtedly improve the success rate of obtaining flora and provide a more reliable guarantee for subsequent research.For example, using a variety of pure water samples with different pH values ​​to extract the bacteria attached to the high-temperature lava can ensure the comprehensiveness of the surviving bacteria samples to the greatest extent.

Picking up the binoculars again, Dr. Feynman looked over, as expected!The last group of robots did not leave too far, and continued the previous steps in the nearby river for bacterial sampling and pretreatment.

On the other hand, the robot teams in other laboratories have not broken through the 500-meter warning line so far, and they have broken down one after another, resulting in non-task downsizing.

The helicopter of KIKU TV station is taking a close-up of the sampling and preprocessing process of Tianyu robot.

"It turns out that they are all carrying various experimental equipment and equipment!"

"It's amazing, audiences, they are like three-headed and six-armed humans, doing experiments methodically in such a harsh environment, aren't they?"

At the same time, on the helicopter driven by Simon, a group of Japanese personnel rushed to one side, watching every precise operation and step of the Tianyu robot below.

"Nani, is this a robot that can do experiments?"

"I think so!"

"It seems that Tianyu Robot not only has an advanced visual system, but also an excellent artificial intelligence system!"

Half an hour later, Dr. Feynman stood stunned, listening to the reports from his engineers.

"Dr. Feynman, among the ten robots sent by Google, eight were scrapped during the mission, and only two were left intact. Two samples of the flora were brought back, and only one was valid."

"What about the other labs?"

"All the robots in Oak Ridge failed and failed to bring back a sample of the flora."

"MIT's spider robot failed to collect a sample of the flora."

"Lawrence Berkeley's octopus robot fails to bring back bacterial samples."

"All the robots in the future biology laboratory returned smoothly. At ten different collection points, 140 samples of flora were successfully collected, and all the samples were complete and valid!"

Dr. Feynman's throat suddenly became very dry. Looking at Wu Tao who was showing the flora samples to KIKU TV, his heart was full of bitterness.

Just a small collection of flora samples was such a complete failure.It seems that Tianyu's artificial intelligence platform is not comparable to Google's rough artificial intelligence system.

A successful artificial intelligence must have autonomous recognition and judgment capabilities, be able to deal with routine dangerous situations, complete pre-set tasks step by step, and have self-learning capabilities.

These key features are obviously beyond the reach of a pseudo-artificial intelligence that relies on cloud computing and big data!

The gap, this is the gap in technology!
Thinking of this, Feynman suddenly realized that in this unfair scientific research competition, as the party with the most people, can he really win the final victory?In this regard, Feynman's psychology was shaken for the first time.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!

　　Thank you all, especially fans of god-level heroes, I am smoking, and Ziyun Zhankuang for their rewards!

　　Thank you for your support.
