Chapter 401 Level 3 Civilization
Not to mention the previous experience of the Mok Star Civilization, the recent AI disaster of the Nair Civilization is still yesterday, and the new government cannot rest assured.
So now there is only one way, that is to bite the bullet and build another supercomputer.
Unlike scientists in other fields, all scientists in the computer field agree with this choice, because they firmly believe that technical means of prevention are not groundless, as long as there are control group experimental subjects, they will definitely find it.
In order to get the new government to agree and increase investment in the construction of a new supercomputer, they even came up with an impeccable reason.
Basically, it means that now the arrow is on the string, and it must continue to go, otherwise the previous scientific research investment will be in vain. If it does not continue to invest, then humans may only be able to use an unstable strong artificial intelligence in the future.
And there is another very important point. Since everyone believes that "ideological imprinting" can be realized, why can't the technical method of preventing strong artificial intelligence be realized? The former is even more outrageous than the latter. After all, the former acts on real life!
Yue Yuan remembered that at the seminar, when this reason came out, all those who opposed it shut up.
Yes, that is indeed the truth. If ‘ideological imprinting’ can be achieved, there is no reason why the technical methods to restrict the rebellion of strong artificial intelligence cannot be achieved!
So, in the following period of time, human civilization started another round of major engineering construction, and scientific research forces and resources were also tilted towards this research field.
In the vigorous development process, nanotechnology has made new breakthroughs.
This time, humans have brought the process to the femtometer level, that is, one millionth of a nanometer.
With the support of precision process technology, humans have successfully manufactured even smaller control modules, thus realizing the manufacture of true nanorobots.
Of course, it is still a little short of making tiny robot individuals like fog. The technical level has been reached, but the process has not yet been reached. However, nanorobots like ants are completely technically produced.
The internal structure of a robot the size of an ant is thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands times smaller than the size of an ant, because nanorobots are not only made very small, but they must also have all the internal organs, such as energy systems, functional systems, operating modes, etc., so that this nanorobot can be given various functions.
The most critical technological breakthrough is the technology of cutting chemical covalent bonds and metal bonds.
In fact, chemical bond breaking technology has existed in the Earth era, but it was not so sci-fi, nor was it as easy to achieve as today's technology.
In that era, people had several ways to break chemical bonds.
One is the radiation method, which uses energy such as ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and neutron beams to break chemical bonds in molecules. This method can break chemical bonds in different materials such as organic, inorganic, metals and ligands.
The second is the photoelectrochemical method, which uses special photoelectrochemical reactions to break specific chemical bonds. Its advantage is high flexibility and can be used to break or modify specific molecules.
This method is still used in the chemical synthesis industry of human beings.
There is also photolysis, which is a typical method of using energy release to break chemical bonds in molecules, which is generally called chemical reaction.
There are also methods of using ultrasound and wave beams to break biological macromolecules.
In other words, the distance unit of metal bonds is angstroms, and one angstrom is equal to one-tenth of a nanometer. After human beings have made another breakthrough in microscopic technology, they discovered in an accidental experiment that radiation of certain frequencies can break metal bonds.
It is worth mentioning that this type of radiation has a very short time and effective distance. If you want to use its principle to create sci-fi weapons such as "fracture cannons" and "phase cannons", it is estimated that you have to change the laws of cosmic physics.
However, scientists have found that if it is used on nanorobots, it will be a nano-worm swarm and gray goo storm.
After these technologies appeared, scientists can be sure that this is the technology that the silver mist consciousness body had as a mining robot.
However, since humans have just entered this field, they cannot create a technology like silver mist that can cut metal bonds, compound covalent bonds, and transport metal elements. So far, all human scientists can do is decomposition.
In other words, the nanorobots created by humans can only destroy. If you want to use it for mining, you have to add more functions and smarter control to it.
As for using it as a weapon, humans think this thing is still a bit lame. It is not as good as the imagined gray goo storm, because the mobility of these nano-worm swarms is really too poor.
If a swarm of nano-insects is thrown directly at an enemy ship, it will not be able to catch up with the speed of the warship, let alone eat the warship.
So if the "nano-insect swarm" is really used as a weapon, the best way is to put them in the shells of the electromagnetic railgun and shoot them out, and then spray them out after approaching the enemy ship.
In the eyes of many military experts, such a design seems unnecessary. They think that instead of doing this, it is better to directly use the hydrogen bomb warhead armor-piercing bullet like now!
However, some people don't think so. On the contrary, they think that this electromagnetic railgun is useful. For example, when facing a strong armor like the Lyra, such armor can completely resist the hydrogen bomb warhead armor-piercing bullet, but it still belongs to the category of alloy.
As long as the material is still connected in the form of chemical bonds, it can be disintegrated by the ‘nano swarm’, unless the laws of cosmic physics change.
So these people think that the ‘nano swarm’ can be used as a weapon and is very necessary.
Yue Yuan, who has great enthusiasm for weapons, also agrees with this view, so after the nanorobots are truly realized, he approved the proposal.
The military industry department was also straightforward. After the plan was approved, they started manufacturing. After the first batch of ‘nano swarms’ were manufactured, these guys directly gave them a name, which was called Gray Gu Storm.
For this name, the post-00s, biologist Yi Kai, who is still alive, has made an indelible contribution.
The emergence of Gray Gu Storm marks that mankind has taken a key step in true nanotechnology. Coupled with the success of strong artificial intelligence, mankind has also entered the gate of the third-level civilization.
As long as the rebellion defense method of strong artificial intelligence is mastered, mankind will inevitably directly and completely liberate productivity, and then completely realize the unmanned manufacturing of various manufacturing industries, and the entire society will also enter the stage of fully automated production.
After that, all resource mining, engineering construction, equipment production and even warship manufacturing will not require human participation. Humans only need to provide strong artificial intelligence with design drawings, creative methods and the like.
Of course, the manufacturing of all new things still requires human participation once, and then leave a bottom line for strong artificial intelligence, so that humans do not need to do it themselves.
It can be said that the emergence of strong artificial intelligence is one of the signs of mastering true nanotechnology, and its emergence will in turn promote the development of true nanotechnology, complementing each other.
It can be foreseen that when strong artificial intelligence is truly applied, the previous remote-operated robots and remote-operated equipment of humans can be eliminated. The most that remain is to be used on human spacecraft, and then to go to the planet to see the scenery and so on.
Even if there is no "nano swarm" for mining for the time being, human resource mining can be completely unmanned in the future.
And when strong artificial intelligence is used in the society where humans live, the form and life pattern of the entire society will also undergo great changes.
First of all, people who used to do physical labor no longer have to work, and various robot operators will also lose their jobs. Many people in the engineering department will lose their jobs, especially those engaged in the machinery manufacturing industry.
Humans have even created ‘nano swarms’, and various complex processes that previously required human hands to operate will also be replaced by some specialized robots.
As long as the new government completely releases strong artificial intelligence and corresponding technologies, human society will face a major change, but it will also be a productivity innovation.
Admittedly, in such a change, many humans will be unemployed at home, but if they want to develop, they must face the impact of new technologies. History tells humans that standing still will inevitably lead to self-destruction.
Time passes year after year.
Because it has been impossible to create ‘silver mist’, humans call the current human civilization the primary stage of the third-level civilization.
The reason for this cognition is that in addition to being unable to create ‘silver mist’ themselves, human scientists have also seen many derivative technologies that humans have not been able to master.
In addition, there is the ability to sail.
Human scientists have discovered that human civilization has not achieved a breakthrough in speed from 30% of the speed of light to 50% of the speed of light because of true nanotechnology.
Scientists believe that it should be because humans have just entered the third-level civilization, and many related technologies have not been fully understood, so that no way to increase the speed has been found.
According to past experience, the improvement of civilization level will inevitably lead to qualitative changes in all fields of the entire civilization.
But now, except for the "Gray Goo Storm" created by strong artificial intelligence and true nanotechnology, other creations are still at the previous stage. Let's not talk about anything else. Take the warship's weapon system, which only has an electromagnetic railgun shell with a "Gray Goo Storm" warhead.
The defense system is okay. After all, the iconic energy shield, supported by true nanotechnology, has completely realized the mode of wrapping the entire warship. It is already a real energy shield.
However, the detection method is still at the level of second-level civilization, and it is still a laser interferometer space antenna for neutrino detection and gravitational wave detection.
There is also the important speed. Whether it is from the mother star era to the first-level civilization, or from the first-level civilization to the second-level civilization, it is a process of rising energy utilization.
The speed of interstellar navigation is also increasing step by step, but humans today do not.
It is precisely because of this that many people even say that humans have not really entered the third-level civilization.
