Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Machine Fleet (I)

The surface of the desolate and cold meteorite is full of pits, and it is difficult to find a flat place. The whole thing is like a stunted big potato, flying aimlessly in the starry sky. Perhaps one day, when it is attracted to a celestial body with a huge gravitational pull, it will plunge into its mother's arms like a wanderer who has been away for many years.

A huge cargo spaceship slowly landed on the surface of this meteorite.

The surface of the meteorite is craggy and craters, and large craters abound one after another, and it is by no means a suitable place for spacecraft to land. But just as the ship was about to land, a dazzling light erupted from its belly, and in an instant, it became extremely flat, and the debris of the destruction was gently blown away by the airflow ejected by the ship, and flew into the distance.

One and another.

Soon, hundreds of transport ships landed on the big potato, lined up like an army.

As if receiving an order, the sides of hundreds of transport ships opened outward, and thousands of people lined up in an incomparably neat formation and walked down from the spaceship. If this scene was seen by an ordinary person, he would definitely cry out in surprise. You know, it's just a meteorite and not a habitable planet, it's completely space-stated, and there's no oxygen for humans to breathe. And the temperature here is extremely low, usually around minus 100 degrees.

If these people were wearing protective clothing, they might not be so surprised. However, those people walked down with a swagger, just wearing a single coat.

However, if you can go in and observe, you may be able to see that these people have stiff faces, and their paths are not as natural as their ordinary people. In their eyes, instead of flashing red, they seem to be observing the environment here.

Once all the "people" had stepped off the ship, they sprang into action.

Countless parts were removed from the spaceship, and under the precise operation and control of these "people", strange buildings were quickly erected. In less than an hour, the place has changed dramatically, there is no trace of desolate meteorite surface at all, but it looks like some heavy industrial production center.

After a while, the surface of the meteorite began to shake slightly, and from every building, it was rapidly excavated into the depths of the meteorite, and a large number of meteorite structures were mined and quickly sent to the transport ships moored there.

In forty-eight hours, those hundreds of ships had taken off and landed countless times, and now, it was their last takeoff.

The makeshift structures have been dismantled and returned to the ship by the "people", who then board the ship. Hundreds of spaceships took to the skies and headed for another asteroid not far away.

The asteroid, which weighed 160 million tons, had become full of holes at this time, and the iron, nickel, titanium and other metals it originally contained were all mined, leaving only some elemental substances that were of little use.

……

Not far from the mined asteroid, a huge battleship was moored there, observing the garbage asteroid like a passerby.

"Haha, in forty-eight hours, we have mined 97 million tons of various ores, almost close to 100 million tons!"

In the command room, Lorraine danced and shouted excitedly, eager to tell everyone the news immediately.

Beside him, Yun Yi smiled on his face, nodded and said, "Yes, the mining speed now is very different from before. At this speed, not to mention precious metals, ordinary metals are completely enough for you, and I'm afraid there are still a lot of leftovers. ”

"Remaining?" Lorraine hurriedly shook his head: "There is no surplus, how can there be a surplus, when I go back, I will apply to my eldest sister to expand the battleship manufacturing factory, and build battleships on a large scale in several assembly lines!" According to my estimates, now the base is fully capable of producing five thousand new warships per month! ”

Yun Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Five thousand? It's so unrealistic. Five thousand ships a month, three months is a fleet, and in a year you can build a warship that can equip four fleets! This number is already equivalent to one-third of the Chu Tang Empire, do you think, with that little number of people in the base, how many people can you find to drive the battleship? ”

Lorraine suddenly had nothing to say, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I now understand why China can lead to the rapid development of several other countries when human beings have just stepped out of the earth." In the space age, there is really a shortage of people, and a warship needs about 500 crew members, and a fleet of 15,000 ships is 7.5 million people. It's really unimaginable that there are only 10 billion people in the entire human race in the earth era, so how many warships can be opened? ”

Earth Age......

It is extremely exciting to think of the magnificent First Age of Discovery, when countless enthusiastic adventurers, a dozen or even a few people, could drive a small light-powered sailing ship to the distant and mysterious starry sky to find habitable planets.

Retracting his thoughts, Yun Yi glanced at the transport fleet in the distance that had just landed on another meteorite to extract ore, and prepared to let the bear return.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the bear spoke first.

"Boss, since there are not enough personnel to operate the ship, why can't we just use humans in important positions like the Dragon Slayer Society, and other unimportant places can be replaced by robots."

Lorraine was a little puzzled: "Robots? They're okay with mining, but can they be used to drive warships? ”

Little Bear's mocking voice sounded: "Lorraine, the last time you attacked Zagu, were you the one who piloted those self-detonating battleships?" ”

"Uh......" Lorraine scratched her head, "Although that's right, the self-detonating battleship was piloted by robots." But that's all the program I've set up, and I'm still remotely controlling it on the battlefield, so it doesn't have much to do with those robots......"

Xiao Xiong said disdainfully: "Cut, you know to put gold on your face." ”

This is Yun Yi coming back from his thoughts, pinching his chin and saying, "Use the robot...... It's not impossible. At least in Martin's fleet, most of the work is done by robots, a huge fleet of fifteen thousand warships and twenty or thirty thousand transport ships, all of them add up to less than 200,000 people, and the rest are robots. ”

"Really?"

Lorraine exclaimed in surprise, he hadn't been to the scientific research base, and he didn't know that Yun Yi and the others had defeated the fleet led by the son of the Dragon Slayer Capricorn God General there.

"Is there really a fleet of shipwhackers, most of whom are robots?" Lorraine couldn't help but ask.

Yun Yi nodded slowly, in fact, he was not very much in favor of using robots to operate warships, even if the idea was practical, and he also had the robot materials and physical objects he got from Martin's fleet, which could be easily imitated. As for the reason for disapproval, in fact, Yun Yi didn't know what it was for in his heart, but whether it was Lin Jiaoyang of Chu Tang or Bai Kaixin of reincarnation, they had warned him not to study artificial intelligence and robots too deeply.

And faintly, Yunyi found that both artificial intelligence and robots seem to have a great relationship with the dark age in human history that did not leave almost any trace.

Although he didn't know what the Dark Ages were and what happened in that period of history, Yun Yi still felt that it was better not to use robots too extensively.

But......

Now it's not a question of whether he wants to use a robot or not. You must know that the Dragon Slayer, the most powerful force in the entire galaxy, now has the most advanced artificial intelligence and robot technology, and it has no scruples about using robots on a large scale, which can be seen from the number of robots in Martin's fleet.

Since the Dragon Slayer Society is already using robots, why can't they use it themselves, and use those living people to fight brutal battles one after another? A robot is nothing more than a pile of metal and parts, and even if it dies, it just needs to be reproduced from the factory. But what about people? Everyone is not an independent individual, they have relatives and friends, and every person who dies will have more people sad and painful.

Why use humans to fight when you can fight with inanimate robots?

If you can't wait for the Dragon Slayer to be destroyed, then destroy all the robots and robot technology materials, presumably there will be no danger.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi immediately said: "Little Bear sails, let's return to the base immediately!" ”

The bear immediately responded, and the massive Aquarius began to slowly turn. Lorraine still refused to give up and shouted: "Boss, is there really such a fleet of robots?" ”

Yun Yi glanced at him: "It's mostly made up of robots, not all of them." ”

"That's also very good, 200,000 people can control a fleet, it's exciting to think about!" Lorraine exclaimed excitedly: "Boss, I know you must have that kind of information, tell me okay!" ”

"Let's go back first." Yun Yi was a little impatient by this guy: "I'll study it first when I go back, and after finding a really feasible method, I'm thinking about whether to tell you." ”
