Chapter 532 Breeding
On one side of the workstation.
There was also an antenna that Elbert had formed from liquid metal.
A weak electromagnetic field was emanating from it.
Elbert looked at the black liquid mass and gently waved his hand.
The black liquid suddenly split into two sides.
Elbert waved his hand again, and the liquid merged back together.
Inside, tens of thousands of biological robots were moving back and forth!
Robert stared with his round, dark eyes. "Right now I can only control about 50,000 of them. Any more than that and my processing speed can't keep up."
Elbert nodded silently.
He had created these biological robots purely for experimental purposes.
He hadn't expected them to produce any particular power!
After all, these robots weren't functional enough yet, and they weren't small enough either!
"However."
"Since they have insect genes, theoretically they should have biological characteristics!"
Robert's eyes sparkled. "Elbert, you could try feeding them something! Maybe they can reproduce on their own!"
Elbert was slightly surprised. "Feed them what?"
Robert said, "Something containing metallic elements, preferably with molecular malleability. That way I can try to get them to replicate themselves!"
Elbert frowned in thought.
Metals with molecular malleability could also be understood as soft.
Like gold, which has exceptional malleability.
One ounce of gold can be stretched into 50 miles - that's why gold is used for jewelry!
Elbert looked around.
The current Lab Graveyard was piled with all kinds of machinery - it didn't look like a place where people lived at all!
There were no women here either, so where would there be any gold?
Suddenly.
Elbert had a flash of inspiration. He extended his palm flat, and a black sphere the size of a soybean appeared in his palm.
Liquid metal!
When it came to malleability, liquid metal was absolutely at the peak!
Robert: "Give it a try!"
Elbert exhaled softly!
He placed the 'black sphere' into a glass petri dish!
Then Elbert and Robert watched intently.
Like two elementary school students completing their first chemistry experiment.
After all, there was no precedent for this kind of technology!
The next moment.
Countless 'little guys' swarmed over!
Looking at the microscope screen!
Elbert's expression was stunned!
Sure enough!
Those biological robots were devouring the liquid metal!
Although it was just a drop, to these 'little guys' it was like a mountain!
They ate until their bellies were slightly swollen!
Their bodies began to shake, then started to split!
Elbert stared wide-eyed!
This was the unique reproduction method of microorganisms - maternal division!
In a moment.
The liquid metal was completely consumed, and the 53,000 microbial robots became 68,000!
Although the newly born 'little guys' no longer had iron oxide particles on them, they still followed the main group closely without any loss of control!
"The colony characteristics of insects!"
"The newborns follow the commands of the previous generation!"
"Elbert, this is a huge breakthrough!"
"We only need to control the first batch of microorganisms through iron oxide, which means the entire army is under our control!"
"I am Commander Robert!"
Elbert nodded repeatedly.
This was an unexpected discovery!
"Elbert, feed them more!"
But Elbert hesitated slightly. "Robert, my liquid metal is a non-renewable resource. I'll get a few tons of gold to feed them later - that stuff isn't worth much."
"Stingy."
Robert pouted. "Don't look at them as just gluttons now, but if one day I become a superintelligent AI, it'll be completely different!"
"What power superintelligent AI will have, I can't predict."
"But there's one thing I'm sure of - mastering true nanotechnology!"
"At that time!"
"With that processing speed, controlling trillions of robots will be easy!"
"Nanorobots entering the human body to treat diseases will be simple too!"
"They can also enhance the human body!"
"Current cyborg technology is nothing compared to nano-modification!"
Robert paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, holding up one finger. "Actually nano-enhanced humans are quite simple!"
"All matter in the world is made of molecules - it's just different sequences and different densities!"
"The diameter of a typical molecule is 10 nanometers!"
"That means true nanorobots can move molecules!"
"So they can arrange molecules!"
"They can create all things, remake all things!"
"Change all the solid-state laws of the existing world!"
"Even facing enemies, no need to fight - just atomic decomposition!"
"Total annihilation!"
When Robert said this, he clapped his hands sharply, as if seeing his glorious future.
"Elbert, now we need to cultivate these little guys first!"
"Accumulate experience step by step!"
Elbert nodded with a smile.
Suddenly he remembered Gavin Rosen's words - "When a superintelligent AI is born, it's like an omnipotent god descending to Earth!"
Just then.
From behind the shelves behind Elbert came Dennis's voice.
"Violent Bear, I caught 60 more ants, I've exceeded the quota. I'm not asking for much - just give me Paul Seven's code and let me study it."
Elbert smiled slightly without speaking.
The insect sampling had been completed 10 days ago. Making Dennis catch bugs was just to keep him from being a nuisance!
"Violent Bear, I have to say, your steel Paul Seven is the most sophisticated robot I've ever seen."
"Probably at the world's peak level."
"I, Dennis, really admire it."
"But you, this technology pioneer, don't you plan to share some technology with me, this good kid who's eager to learn?"
Elbert shook his head with a smile.
This kid with all his flattery - wasn't it all just to take apart my Paul Seven?
Dennis had already squeezed through the middle of the shelves!
He was holding a beverage bottle. Just as he stood up straight, his expression suddenly became somewhat shocked!
He pointed at the biological robots crawling around on the virtual screen and said excitedly, "Violent Bear, what's that?"
Elbert leaned back in his chair and said unhurriedly, "This is my achievement from these past few days. It's called..."
"Nanorobots!"
Dennis rushed to the workstation in one stride, looking at the glass container with a shocked expression!
"You know quite a lot."
"However..."
Elbert sighed slightly. "My technology isn't good enough yet. One micrometer equals 1000 nanometers. My robots are currently about 30 micrometers in size. Compared to nanorobots, it's like the difference between Lab Graveyard and you."
"Huh?"
"So they can't enter the human body, can't devour cancer cells?"
Dennis's expression was complex. Although somewhat disappointed, he stared intently!
"Violent Bear, I admit this is even more impressive than Paul Seven!"
"But this shouldn't be your level!"
"Look!"
Dennis pointed to the beverage bottle in his hand, which read: 'Nano Coffee.'
"Even beverage factories can make nano coffee now!"
Elbert smiled helplessly!
"Nano coffee?"
"Pure nonsense. If it really reached the nanometer level, the coffee molecules would be broken apart - where would the flavor come from?"
"Let me tell you clearly, most of the various nanotechnologies on the market are just gimmicks!"
Elbert looked at the glass container. "And mine, although not precise enough, not purely mechanical, and can't transmit signals, but!"
"This is enough to shatter the worldview of scientists around the world!"
"It's called Type I Micro-bugs!"
