Chapter 89 Mechanical Fleet

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

A huge cargo ship slowly landed on the surface of the meteorite.

The surface of the meteorite is full of strange rocks, and large pits are everywhere, which is by no means a suitable place for spacecraft to land. But when the spacecraft was about to land, it suddenly emitted a dazzling light from its abdomen and became extremely flat in an instant. The damaged debris was gently blown by the airflow ejected by the spacecraft and flew into the distance.

One, another one.

Soon, hundreds of transport ships landed on the big potato, neatly arranged like an army.

As if receiving an order, hundreds of transport ships opened on both sides, and thousands of people came down from the spaceship in an extremely neat formation. If this scene is seen by an ordinary person, he will definitely shout in surprise. You know, this is just a meteorite, not a habitable planet, which is completely in space without any oxygen for humans to breathe. And the temperature here is extremely low, usually about 100 degrees below zero.

If these people wear protective clothing, they may not be so surprised. However, those people came down with such a big swagger in just a single dress.

However, if you can walk into the observation, you may be able to see that these people are stiff and walk as naturally as ordinary people. In their eyes, it is not shining red, as if they are observing the environment here.

After all the "people" got off the ship, they acted quickly.

Countless parts were removed from the spacecraft, and under the precise operation control of these "people", strange buildings quickly stood up. In less than an hour, it has changed a lot. There is no atmosphere on the surface of the desolate meteorite. Instead, it looks like a heavy industrial production center.

In a short time, the surface of the meteorite began to shake slightly, digging rapidly from each building to the depths of the meteorite's interior. After a large number of meteorite structures were mined, they were quickly sent to the transport spacecraft moored there.

In 48 hours, the hundreds of spacecraft have taken off and landed countless times, and now it is their last takeoff.

Those temporary buildings have been demolished and sent back to the spacecraft by those "people", and then they also boarded the spacecraft. Hundreds of spacecraft rose in the air and headed for another asteroid not far away.

And the asteroid weighing 160 million tons has become full of holes, and its original iron, nickel, titanium and other metals have been mined, leaving only some useless elemental materials.

......

A short distance from the mined asteroid, a huge warship is moored there, like a passer-by, observing the garbage-like asteroid.

"Haha, in 48 hours, we mined 97 million tons of various ores, almost 100 million tons!"

In the command room, Lorraine danced excitedly and couldn't wait to tell everyone the news immediately.

Beside him, Yunyi smiled and nodded, "Yes, the current mining speed can be said to be very different from before. At such a speed, not to mention precious metals, ordinary metals are completely enough for you to use. I'm afraid there is still a lot left.

"Remaining?" Lorraine hurriedly shook his head: "There is no surplus. How can there be surplus? When I go back, I will apply to my eldest sister to expand the warship manufacturing factory and manufacture warships on a few assembly lines on a large scale! According to my estimation, the base can now have the production capacity of 5,000 new warships every month!"

Yunyi couldn't help laughing and said, "Fight thousand? It's too unrealistic. 5,000 a month, a fleet in three months, can build warships that can equip four fleets a year! This number is equivalent to one-third of the Chutang Empire. How many people do you think can find to fly the warship with the base?

Lorraine had nothing to say. After thinking about it for a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "Well, I now understand why China can develop rapidly ahead of several other countries when human beings have just left the earth. The space age is really short of people. A warship has about 500 personnel, and a fleet of 15,000, that is, 8.5 million. It's hard to imagine that there are only 10 billion people in the earth era, so how many warships can be driven?

The era of the earth...

It is extremely exciting to think that in the magnificent first era of great navigation, countless hot-blooded adventurers, more than a dozen or even a few people, can drive a small light-powered sailboat to find habitable planets in the distant and mysterious starry sky.

Taking back his thoughts, Yunyi took a look at the transport fleet that had just landed on another meteorite in the distance to mine, and was ready to let the bear return.

I didn't expect that he hadn't spoken yet, but the little bear spoke first.

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

Lorraine is a little puzzled: "Robot? They are good at mining, but can they be used to drive warships?

The little bear's joke sounded: "Lorraine, did you drive those self-exploding warships the last time you attacked Zaku?"

"Uh..." Lorraine grabbed his head: "Although that's right, the self-exploding warship was driven by robots. However, it's all the programs I set up, and I still control them remotely on the battlefield, which has nothing to do with those robots..."

The little bear said disdainfully, "Cut, just put gold on your face."

This is Yunyi who came back from thinking and pinched his chin and said, "It's not impossible to use a robot. At least in Martin's fleet, most of the work is done with robots. There is a huge fleet of 15,000 warships and 20,000 or 30,000 transport ships, all of which add up to less than 200,000 people, and the rest are robots.

"Really?"

Lorraine shouted in surprise that he had not been to the scientific research base, nor did he know that Yun Yi and others defeated the fleet led by the son of the Capricorn General of the Dragon Slayer.

"Is it true that there are fleet ship operators, most of whom are robots?" Lorraine couldn't help asking.

Yunyi nodded slowly. In fact, he did not agree with the use of robots to operate warships. Even if this idea was feasible, he also had robot data and physical objects from Martin's fleet that could be easily imitated. As for the reasons for disapproval, in fact, Yunyi's heart doesn't know what it is for, but whether it is Lin Jiaoyang of Chu Tang or Bai Kaixin of reincarnation, they have warned him not to study artificial intelligence and robots too deeply.

And implicitly, Yunyi found that both artificial intelligence and robots seem to have a great relationship with the dark age in human history, which left almost no trace.

Although he did not know what the Dark Age was and what had happened in that history, Yunyi still felt that it was better not to use robots too widely.

But...

It's not a question of whether he is willing to use robots now. You know, now the Dragon Slayer, the most powerful force in the whole galaxy, has the top artificial intelligence and robot technology, as well as the large-scale use of robots without scruples, which can be seen from the number of robots in Martin's fleet.

Since the Dragon Slayer is already using robots, why can't they use them and use those living people to fight one cruel battle after another? The robot is just a pile of metal and parts. Even if it is dead, it only needs to be remanufactured from the factory. But what about people? Everyone is not an independent individual. They have relatives and friends. If everyone dies, more people will be sad and painful for it.

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

After destroying the dragon slaughtering party, all the robots and robot technology materials will be destroyed. There must be no danger.

Thinking of this, Yunyi immediately said, "Little bear sails the boat, and we will return to the base immediately!"

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

Yunyi looked at him: "Most of them are 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 it!" Lorraine shouted excitedly, "Boss, I know you must have that information. Let me know, okay?"

"Let's go back first." Yunyi was a little impatient with this guy: "I'll study it after I go back and find a really feasible method. I'm considering whether to tell you."
