United Science Research Institute
Rather than dwelling on past glories, people prefer to move forward.
Five years after completing the integration of the Crimson Flame Civilization's technology, humanity established the United Science Research Institute. As the name suggests, this Research Institute is not just a single Research Institute for the human race, but a joint Research Institute for several intelligent races under humanity.
Its main body is located on a newly built large spaceship, a Sea-Class research spaceship. The spaceship has five external interfaces. When not in operation, the five interfaces are connected to five other Sea-Class Spaceship, forming a huge chimera.
In their design, the internal structures of these five spaceships were arranged according to the respective living habits of humans, Nair People, Kuntai, Dog-Headed People, and Crimson Flame People, as were their living environments. Clearly, these five spaceships served as docking points for scientists of their respective races, and could also have been habitation points.
The central spaceship is set up according to the research institute's layout, possessing everything a research institute should have. If face-to-face discussions or collaborative experiments are needed in the institute's laboratories, various races will don their mechs and come here to conduct the work.
Humans naturally wore Tactical Armor, and as for the other four races, humans thoughtfully created a mobile mech suit for each of their scientists and engineers who were nominally affiliated with the Research Institute, based on their forms.
Humanity's top scientists and engineers are all affiliated with this Research Institute. However, at present, the Crimson Flame Civilization has the most scientists affiliated with it.
The Crimson Flame Civilization has a much larger individual population than humans, so it's reasonable that they have more scientists. As for the remaining three races, the Nair People have been with humans for a long time, but they were originally just a Research Team, not many in number. Fortunately, they are all highly intelligent Research Personnel, and about a dozen of them were selected.
The Dog-Headed People are in a worse situation. Although they have been nurtured by humans for many years, their foundation is still that of a Primitive Civilization. From the perspective of biological evolution, they have been forced into the interstellar age by humans. Even if humans open up their knowledge base for them to learn, there is currently only one person who can reach the level of a top scientist.
The Kuntai People are a bit better; there are six who meet the standard, but they are all of the Tai Form.
It is certain that among the four races, those who are selected for the United Science Research Institute will become superior beings in their own race's society. Humans will meet their various needs to a limited extent, while also promoting them within their respective races.
It can be said that as long as one can become a scientist at the United Science Research Institute, he will inevitably become a figure revered by thousands of people of his race, and at the same time, he will receive equal respect in the human family.
Of course, since humans have a policy of 'not Mind Imprint of their vassal races, it is unknown whether these scientists are truly loyal to humans. However, the New Government does not care, since the entire group's military power is in human hands. Even if these scientists from other races have any ulterior motives, it is not a big deal.
Even if many scientists are unwilling to serve humanity, he cannot stop the thoughts of other individual lives. Besides, there is Strong Artificial Intelligence watching over things, and the management has been Mind Imprint, so rebellion is impossible.
The establishment of the joint Research Institute indicates that humanity has begun to try to utilize the intelligence of these Alien Race to serve itself.
The results were unexpectedly good; in the fifth year since the establishment of the Research Institute, it achieved a remarkable scientific research result.
They have made a breakthrough in the algorithm research of Strong Artificial Intelligence nanostructures.
This is undoubtedly fantastic news, as its breakthrough means that humanity is one step closer to creating Nanobots consciousness entities like the 'Silver Mist'.
Judging from the situation of the 'Silver Mist' back then, it was clearly a Strong Artificial Intelligence. However, unlike the Strong Artificial Intelligence of humans today, it did not need a Supercomputer as a carrier for its self-consciousness. Therefore, there is only one answer: its consciousness was hidden among those 'Silver Mist'.
This technological breakthrough has enabled humanity to manufacture Supercomputer as a structure composed of countless Nanobots.
The transformation of form inevitably requires the support of different algorithms. Therefore, the breakthrough in this technology and the successful realization of algorithm transformation make it theoretically possible for humans to have 'Nanobots swarms carrying Strong Artificial Intelligence self-awareness'.
Of course, simply breaking through this technology and implementing this algorithm will not give humans the ability to create 'Silver Mist', because this is only one of the many Technology Barrier to creating 'Silver Mist'.
Other Technology Barrier that need to be overcome include the precise manipulation of Femtometer -level structures, the manufacturing process of picometer-level functional structures, the information exchange between each 'droplet' (Nanobots individual), the power of each 'droplet' individual Nanobots, and how to realize the functionality of their combined structure. To this end, the Joint Scientific Research Institute plans to first apply for permission to manufacture 10 billion Nanobots with the most basic unit structure at the picometer level for verification experiments.
This study also investigates the information exchange between individual Nanobots.
Once the application reached the production management department, it was approved immediately.
The picometer-level component manufacturing process was a production technology originally mastered by the Crimson Flame Civilization, and such advanced technology was naturally adopted by humanity. However, the technical evaluation documents for the 'Silver Mist' -like manufacturing process indicate that the picometer-level component manufacturing process is insufficient to create 'Silver Mist' -like Nanobots.
To produce 'Silver Mist' -like Nanobots, further breakthroughs in the field of microscopic technology are needed. Not to mention whether it needs to reach the Femtometer level, it must at least exceed the current picometer level.
After numerous discussions, the United Science Research Institute concluded that the manufacturing process of the 'Silver Mist' Nanobots swarm must have reached the pinnacle of creation at Level 3 Civilization, and it would be impossible to achieve anything smaller.
Because if it gets any smaller, it reaches the realm of wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle, which is completely impossible for Level 3 Civilization to break through.
In fact, if humans hadn't witnessed the 'Silver Mist,' they wouldn't have had this insight.
Human scientists still remember the reaction of the scientists from the Crimson Flame Civilization when the idea of creating a swarm of 'Silver Mist' Nanobots was first proposed. Upon seeing the technical specifications put forward by humans, they immediately and decisively declared that it was impossible to achieve without even thinking.
In their minds, the Crimson Flame Civilization had reached its limit in the nanotechnology field, becoming the pinnacle of Level 3 Civilization. They believed that unless they advanced to Level 4 Civilization, there was absolutely no possibility of further breakthroughs.
