Chapter 147 Nanorobots
"Cool!"
"Cool!"
"Cool!"
Raleigh controlled the hunter and used his chain sword to split open a monster covered in spikes. He watched the monster's blue blood mixed with its internal organs flowing to the ground in a confused manner, and felt that all the pores in his body were relieved!
"This is what it feels like!"
After a year of idleness in the coalition government, Raleigh returned to the battlefield again and felt as if he had lived again.
Yang Xi feels the same way.
The monster signal on the monitor disappeared, and the counter on the chainsword increased by another number.
791→792
This was their seven hundred and ninety-second kill on the Noha Star.
They begged engineers from the coalition government to build the counter, which was technically not difficult at all. Moreover, with the help of the offline version of MOSS, every kill added a reading, which was very accurate.
"Ugh!"
Rowley maneuvered the hunter, striding over the hills, chasing another monster signal on the radar.
The pioneer civilization performed amazingly at the beginning of the war and looked decent. Their green carpet made the generals on the front line scratch their heads. The exterminators thrown into the ground using membrane tissue traveling technology have not yet been found.
But then it became a stretch.
The pioneer civilization realized that it was impossible to drive the coalition government away from the star of Noha by relying on creep alone, so they began to produce monsters again.
The flesh and blood body of the monster is like a paper tiger that breaks into pieces when faced with the hunter mecha of the coalition government.
The only thing worthy of praise is their method of producing monsters. They use creep to create biological petri dishes where the coalition government can't see them, and then secretly produce monsters.
These monsters generally have the ability to burrow forward.
The first one - named the burrowing zombie by scientists who love "Plants vs. Zombies" - did cause a little trouble for the coalition government.
To be precise, it was frightening.
The monster emerged from under a coalition stronghold, startling the soldiers.
But the tearing bugs nearby swarmed up and tore it apart in a matter of seconds.
Later, the coalition government equipped each camp with high-precision vibration monitors. When abnormal vibrations are felt underground, a piercing alarm will sound, prompting camp managers to prepare.
Later monsters did not cause any trouble to the coalition government.
The pioneer civilization was probably aware of this and simply gave up using monsters to attack the coalition government. However, they still retained the setup of using mushroom carpet to create monsters. From time to time, a monster would grow in the ravines.
Mecha hunters were scattered all over the place to deal with these monsters growing out of the carpet.
"If the carpet where monsters grow is not removed, the monsters will never be killed!" Yang Xi sighed, "I don't know how long it will take scientists to overcome this problem."
Creep is an auxiliary means of warfare for the pioneer civilization, and it is also a means of interfering with the other party's colonization.
Creep is always a time bomb. Unless the coalition government can eliminate all creep once and for all, the coalition government cannot immigrate to Noha Star.
After all, they might have just built a city, only to be destroyed by monsters.
It's very reputational when something like this happens.
The political system of the coalition government is not highly centralized, and the opinions of the people have a great influence on the coalition government.
But it’s actually not difficult to crack the fungus carpet.
As long as some Ava spores are put in, the carpet composed of microorganisms can be wiped out quickly.
Ava's spore army is invincible at the micro level. Unless they encounter an opponent who can also quickly adjust the shape of the micro army according to the actual situation, any micro level competition will not be able to stop them.
But the coalition government wants to hone its ability to deal with such situations.
Although Ava is good, she should not be overly dependent on her.
Furthermore, the coalition government does have the potential to resolve the micro-crisis.
Nanobots!
Nanorobots are essentially similar to spores. They can also be flexibly changed according to actual conditions and can be controlled by computers. The micro-control level is no worse than spores.
The only problem is that the coalition's nanobot technology is immature.
The United Government obtained the technology of carving circuits on microscopic matter from the Trisolarans.
However, Trisolaran's technology requires low-dimensional expansion of microscopic objects before they can perform complex tasks. It only took two years to carve a proton.
The coalition government wants to carve hundreds of millions of nanorobots, and also requires them to have the ability to self-replicate and self-modify. Obviously, they cannot copy the technology of the Trisolaran civilization.
Since arriving on Earth in "Pacific Rim", scientists from the coalition government and scientists from the Trisolaran civilization have been working together to study this issue.
After reading the book and writing the paper, finally a nanorobot that can be put into mass production was born.
It's a pity that it was put into production too hastily and the technical details are not mature enough. For example, the electromagnetic protection provided for the nanorobots is too crude and so on.
Still, the coalition government is ready to give it a try.
Anyway, Noah's Star is not our own country, so it doesn't matter if we mess up. In the worst case, we'll ask Ava to clear the place.
Ava is half her own ball, no shame.
"arrive!"
"Open the hatch!"
"Just throw it out!"
"But don't throw it at us!"
The Coalition Government's first batch of nanobots enter the battlefield.
They were packed in hundreds of silver-white test tubes and traveled to various battlefields with the Pioneer spacecraft.
The driver throws two tubes down every time he passes a place.
There is no nonsense programming, and there is no exciting and heated discussion.
I came, I lost, I left.
The test tube containing the nanorobots smashed to pieces on the ground, and the nanorobots inside sputtered out, submerged into the surrounding soil within a radius of more than ten meters, and penetrated into the green carpet, starting a massacre in the microscopic world.
The nanobots are much more powerful than Ava's spores.
For living things, the smaller they are, the less they can do.
Once the size is small enough, almost nothing can be done.
But that's not the case with machinery.
Nanorobots have a hard metal shell that is almost immune to attacks by carpet cells, and their sharp protruding teeth can inadvertently tear apart the cell walls of carpet cells, causing them to burst with juice.
The nanorobot hugged itself into a ball and rolled around among the cells of the carpet. With the help of the saw teeth on its body, it easily caused a lot of damage.
The nanorobots that have not come into contact with the bacteria carpet cells unfold into angular factory parts at the microscopic level. They are grouped together in twos and threes to crush nearby stones or soil, and process all kinds of substances into the following materials. A generation of nanorobots.
