Chapter 137 Planet Tearer
After many years, Hao Xiaoxi once again came to the cutting-edge laboratory of the coalition government.
She has wanted to come here for a long time, but she is one of the five directors of the coalition government and has endless things to do every day.
Although it is very easy to take advantage of this position, Hao Xiaoxi always keeps in mind Zhou Zhezhi's expectations for her. From the day she took this position, she told herself that she could never relax and would always work hard for the future of the coalition government. .
She came to a stop in front of a large glass wall.
"Director Hao, this is a technology obtained from the pioneer civilization through sophons." A scientist explained to Hao Xiaoxi, "It appeared in "Pacific Rim 2", and it was called the tearing worm in the movie."
In the glass wall, densely packed insects with metallic colors clump together to form a huge ball.
They are in a dormant state.
Motionless, like a grotesque work of art statue.
Director Hao reached out and patted the glass.
A dull sound entered the laboratory, suddenly waking up these sleeping mechanical bugs.
Countless bugs scattered in all directions and rushed towards Hao Xiaoxi like a tide. In an instant, they covered the entire glass wall. Countless sharp metal limbs were beating the wall frantically in an attempt to rush out of the laboratory.
"Director Hao!"
The scientist nervously stood in front of Hao Xiaoxi.
Although the strength of this glass wall has passed many rigorous tests, Hao Xiaoxi has a special status. If anything goes wrong, such as being overly frightened, their entire experimental project will be stopped.
This will not only cause them to lose an interesting scientific research project, but will also be a huge loss to the coalition government.
Hao Xiaoxi stared at the frighteningly dense crowd of tearing insects and asked without changing his expression: "Have you set them up to be so aggressive?"
The scientist nodded: "Yes."
"Why do you do this?" Hao Xiaoxi asked, "You want to train the tearing worm into a weapon?"
The scientist answered candidly: "Yes."
"Tearworms are extremely malleable. As long as specific programs are input, they can be assembled into many giant buildings, and they can also become the adhesive of giant buildings."
"But the same thing."
"They can also be efficient killing machines."
Hao Xiaoxi nodded slowly: "Tell me more about this part."
"This," the scientist said anxiously, "the principle is very complicated. In practical application, it is to launch missiles carrying tearing insects to the target location. The tearing insects will assemble production machine tools according to the preset program and search for materials on their own. It only takes a few seconds. A huge army can be formed in a short time.”
He didn't know what Hao Xiaoxi thought about this matter. Some politicians didn't like weapons that were too powerful.
Hao Xiaoxi shook his head: "What else?"
Although she is a politician, she is familiar with many sophisticated technologies. She knows that the mechanical body with such strange properties of the tearing bug cannot only have such a superficial and simple function.
If it is just simple killing, there is no need for tearing insects. After all, nuclear bombs can be used on the surface and viruses can be used underground.
Even dropping Ava's spores directly might be more effective.
The scientist showed a hesitant expression.
Hao Xiaoxi sighed: "I approved the funds for your project."
It stands to reason that the project she approved - she should know all the contents of the project in advance, but in fact she did not know about this project because this project was approved by the state in her name.
She only became aware of the project later.
The power of the coalition government comes from the support of each country. Correspondingly, each country also obtains corresponding power from the coalition government based on the strength of its support.
For some research, the country will keep its lid on doing it on its own; for other research, the country needs to rely on the manpower and material resources of the coalition government, and then it will use Hao Xiaoxi's name to act.
When these studies arrived in front of Hao Xiaoxi, there were only many project names densely packed on one page, and they only needed to be signed.
These projects have actually been carefully reviewed by joint government professionals, but they have been simplified by Hao Xiaoxi, making Hao Xiaoxi unclear about what each project is specifically researching.
She can take the initiative to find out, but she usually doesn't.
Because she has to deal with too many things every day, and if she takes care of everything in detail, even if she has forty-eight hours a day, it won't be enough.
But the Tearworm project is special.
She felt that even if she had to get paper documents, she would not feel at ease, so it would be better to go there in person.
"Tell me everything." Hao Xiaoxi emphasized, "Don't leave anything out. How far can the tearing worm do it?"
The scientist no longer concealed anything, he pursed his lips and said: "The tearing worm is actually just a precursor technology for another technology."
"What technology?"
Hao Xiaoxi looked puzzled.
The function of the tearing bug is already powerful enough, but it is just the precursor of another technology. How powerful should that technology be?
"We hope to reduce the size of the tear worm, simplify the production process of the tear worm, increase the speed of the tear worm's self-production, and finally create an ultimate weapon called the planet tearer."
Seeing the confusion on Hao Xiaoxi's face become more intense, the scientist said: "The ideal planet tearer should be a super super weapon that can transform all the materials on a planet into tearing insects with just one shot. arms."
"Everything from the Earth's crust to its core is used to produce tearworms."
Hao Xiaoxi was silent.
The scientist added: "It is also a weapon that can destroy a civilization. The Planet Ripper is more practical than the virus library of the pioneer civilization. After the war, it can also cause the Ripper to collectively self-destruct and recycle the transformed planet."
Hao Xiaoxi nodded slowly.
She could imagine what that was like.
She asked: "Aren't tearing insects afraid of electromagnetic interference?"
The scientist smiled: "Don't be afraid. Each tearing insect has an independent computing unit and an electromagnetic shielding device to protect core components. It can work normally in a strong electromagnetic interference environment."
His eyes sparkled with longing.
If the Planet Ripper is successfully developed, then the coalition government will have another way to destroy the planet, and this method is more covert and can even be included in normal diplomatic activities.
The Planet Ripper will carry a batch of the best quality tearing worms. These tearing bugs can resist the enemy's first wave of strikes, and then quickly disperse and hide, copy and split where the enemy cannot see, and cannibalize the entire planet.
When the coalition government masters the membrane tissue shuttle technology, it can also directly drop the Planet Ripper deep into the earth, making it beyond the enemy's reach to prevent the replication of the Ripper.
When the enemy digs through the earth's crust and finds the Ripper Worms, the Ripper Worms will burst out like a magma eruption and engulf them.
"Is there any way to restrain them?"
Hao Xiaoxi frowned.
"Yes!" The scientist suddenly woke up. "We have left several backdoors in their programs. We can use virus programs to paralyze their actions and ensure that they will not cause any harm to ourselves."
Hao Xiaoxi asked: "Is this trick reliable?"
The 1990 crisis is just around the corner, and she must eliminate all potential sources of crisis.
It is impossible for the Planet Ripper to make a difference on the earth, because Chen Fan is watching the earth, but the 90-year crisis is not necessarily a disaster that endangers the entire planet. After all, "only" one space station was lost in 44 years.
If due to a moment of negligence and insufficient supervision of dangerous technologies, an accident such as the fall of the Earth Defense Circle occurs, it will definitely be an unforgettable disaster.
"Please rest assured about this!" The scientist's expression became serious, "The virus program is executed by MOSS. Unless there is a problem with MOSS, there will never be any omissions."
MOSS
Hao Xiaoxi nodded slowly.
As mankind's most advanced quantum computer, it has also undergone a wave of epic optimizations after acquiring Trisolaran technology, so it is indeed worthy of trust.
But this is not enough.
"Is it necessary for you to create so many tearing worms to study this project?" Hao Xiaoxi said calmly, "To reduce the number of tearing worms, it is enough to maintain normal experimental needs."
The scientist nodded slowly: "Okay."
There was really no need for them to create so many ripworms. They only created so many because the young scientists within the project team were interested in the scene in the movie of massive ripworms walking through the streets, and the older scientists were also happy to take this opportunity to cultivate their knowledge of science. favorite.
Now that the director has intervened, there is no need for the extra tearing bugs to continue to exist.
"Destroy the tearing worms in the laboratory and make sure not to let any tearing worms leave the laboratory." Hao Xiaoxi said methodically, "After that, give each tearing worm a number and make sure to check it at least once a day. Absolutely no Any tearing bug disappears for no reason."
"Anyone who wants to take tearworms out of the laboratory must apply to me and get my approval before they can be implemented."
"Increase the safety level of the laboratory and strengthen the walls, including ceilings and floors, to prevent tearing insects from damaging the laboratory."
Hao Xiaoxi applied several patches in a row.
Even so, she worried about the Ripper worm escaping.
"Install a signal shielding device outside the laboratory to prevent external signals from entering the laboratory and prevent the intrusion of digital life."
There is at least one Digital Yaya in the online world. If Digital Yaya wants to avenge the deleted digital picture Hengyu, then the Ripper is undoubtedly a good starting point.
Hao Xiaoxi was silent for a few seconds and gave up only when he couldn't think of any other safety risks.
The camera at the end of the corridor quietly adjusted its angle and focused on Hao Xiaoxi, who was facing the tearing insect across the wall in the distance.
In order to focus, the camera's aperture in the lens expands and contracts, just like a human pupil.
MOSS has arrived.
It looked at Hao Xiaoxi with extremely rational eyes.
Humanity has grown.
But Hao Xiaoxi is not enough. The coalition government needs more such people.
The '90 crisis will be very interesting.
