Chapter 513: Technological Explosion
The test of Xiao Hui went smoothly, and she basically had all the expected functions. Apart from other things, her primary function of mining is really good, and she already looks like the silver mist that humans encountered back then.
According to the engineers, she has many functions such as identification, decomposition, and transportation. After discovering mineral resources, she can use a large number of ultra-micro nanorobots to decompose chemical bonds to make holes, and then decompose the required minerals into various elemental substances. Then, she uses multiple nanorobot monomers to form a transportation structure, and then transports these metals to the ground little by little.
However, she does not have the ability to prevent active metals from forming compounds, so when mining some chemically active metals, they are mostly transported to the ground in the form of compounds.
When doing stacking operations, she will control countless nanorobots to release certain radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves, so that the metals transported up are fused together little by little, forming pieces and piles of metal mountains.
Of course, she is still far from Xiao Hui described by Yi Kai. The most intuitive point is that she will not replicate herself. Her body, that is, the individual nanorobots, need to be manufactured and produced in human nanofactories.
That is to say, if any nanorobots are damaged during her operation, they must be replenished from a specific nanofactory.
The nanorobots that make up Xiao Hui's body are obviously more advanced than those used as artillery warheads or nano-repair robots. Simple and intelligent disposable products cannot be compared with specially designed things.
In the design data, there are two ways for Xiao Hui to charge. One is that she spreads herself into a gray cloud and bathes in the light of the stars, commonly known as sunbathing. The other is to charge through a base station or a warship in the planet's orbit.
The second method is mainly sourced from energy, which is usually carried out simultaneously when mining.
For example, now, when Xiao Hui floated into the rocky satellite, the spacecraft she had driven past before started long-distance microwave directional charging.
In the Earth era, this technology is called wireless remote microwave integrated directional charging technology.
This technology was mature as early as the Earth era and has been widely used in various in-orbit spacecraft and space solar power stations to transmit electricity to the ground.
In those days, the flower growers built many such devices on Earth, which would be called space-based solar power stations. It consists of many solar panels to form the space power station part, and the ground receiving end is composed of a device called spherical membrane energy collection array.
In general, microwave radio power transmission technology is a mature technology.
After years of development, humans no longer need such a large receiving end, and its transmission distance has also been greatly improved. The transmitting end of this device is now installed on the spacecraft, which can charge Xiao Hui at work at any time.
For Xiao Hui, the next goal of the Academy of Sciences is to develop a nanorobot that can replicate itself, but at present it is just a goal. It feels a bit far away to evolve into this ultimate form.
But anyway, the silver mist-like mining robot has really been realized.
Engineers roughly calculated that after having Xiao Hui, human mining ability is at least 100 times stronger than before, and this is still in the state of the experimental body that has just been completed.
When humans create more "bodies" for Xiao Hui in the future, the efficiency will definitely be improved.
By then, hollowing out the planet will no longer be a joke. At that time, as long as there are enough space docks, humans can produce warships endlessly like the legendary mechanical civilization.
Xiao Hui's success is one of the biggest technological breakthroughs of mankind in the past few decades.
Yes, one of them.
The technological integration of the Chiyan civilization, which is far superior to humans in nanotechnology, and the collision of the unreserved thinking of the two civilizations at the same level have made mankind bloom with the brilliance of technological explosion in a short period of time.
Just like the rapid technological progress of mankind in modern times.
Such a technological explosion is indeed not enough for mankind to enter the fourth-level civilization, but it deepens mankind's understanding of technology in the field of nanotechnology, and of course there is progress in technology.
There is no doubt that mankind has leaped into a senior third-level civilization this time. Whether it is a peak third-level civilization, mankind does not know, because no advanced civilization has ever told mankind what is the peak existence of a third-level civilization, but seniority is certain.
After all, as far as mankind knows, the process optimization brought by all the technologies in the so-called third-level civilization technology tree are all the basis for breaking through the fourth-level civilization.
This is the deep cultivation of mankind in nanotechnology.
And such deep cultivation has also been reflected in human daily life, the most intuitive of which is various nano products.
After removing the destructive power of decomposing metals and non-metals, the technology of making Xiao Hui has been applied to many daily necessities.
For example, some means of transportation, such as magnetic levitation pedals and single-person magnetic levitation motorcycles, previously needed to be parked as finished products, but now it is different.
They can be compressed into a small suitcase in the form of micro-nano robots. When they are used, they only need to give their programs an instruction, and they can be assembled into their original appearance in the flow combination of nano-robots.
There are also corresponding nano products for seats, beds and other items in life. Even clothing has such nano products, and dressing and undressing only requires one command, provided that you are willing to wear metal-textured clothes.
The reason is that currently humans can only make metal alloy-related products. Other things made of non-metallic compounds cannot be nanorobotized.
Just think about the nanotechnology that can change anything, as in the movie.
That thing is not just as simple as nanotechnology. It can change anything, which means that even chemical elements can change. Otherwise, it is impossible for a wooden table to become a cannon after nano-reorganization.
This already involves the technology of changing the number of nucleons of matter.
Therefore, the various nano products of human beings today are essentially pre-set appearance programs. However, even so, its technical content is very high.
If you walk in human society and suddenly see someone stretch out his hand, and then grab a cloud of fog like a magic, and then some common tools or pots and pans appear, it is not him performing magic, but his nano products.
For a period of time after Xiao Hui appeared, human civilian products were upgraded again, nano-upgrade.
This is the case with civilian daily necessities, and military tools and equipment have appeared in large quantities of nano-ization.
It can be said that in this era, if you don’t have a nano product that can change, you are embarrassed to say that you are human.
