The first volume sets sail Chapter 3: A New Journey
Humans left the Earth 10,000 years ago.
Driving a long-distance fleet, heading towards Proxima Centauri, 4.3 light years away.
Ordered to stay on Earth, Taiyin, a quantum computer with advanced artificial intelligence, continued to manufacture various autonomous machines under the final orders of mankind.
In ten thousand years, these autonomous machines have expanded to the entire solar system.
Until now, after Lin Xu gave the order, all these autonomous machines spread across the solar system began to move.
A large number of autonomous machines are converging towards the earth.
At the same time, various factories are being built on Jupiter, Venus, Mars and other planets to manufacture various parts for planetary engines.
Lin Xu planned to imitate the movies he had seen before and install a planetary engine on the earth to push the earth out of the solar system. He would follow the direction in which the human long-distance fleet left, follow the footsteps of humans, and embark on a journey to find humans.
This is what Lin Xu said, take the Earth to find them.
However, if you really want to move the earth, ten thousand planetary engines and steering engines are definitely not enough.
Therefore, Lin Xu planned to build 100,000 of them, and each one would be ten or a hundred times larger than the ones in the movies.
According to Taiyin's calculations, with the existing production capacity of autonomous machinery throughout the solar system, it would take about twenty years to build 100,000 planetary engines.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why humans ten thousand years ago chose to leave on a spaceship instead of leaving with the Earth.
After all, the autonomous machines at that time had not undergone nearly ten thousand years of continuous expansion, and their construction capacity was far from sufficient.
But now everything is different. The continuous expansion of autonomous machinery for nearly ten thousand years has given Lin Xu the foundation to implement his fantasy.
However, there is a prerequisite for all this, which is that more quantum computers with advanced artificial intelligence are needed, which can be autonomous and collaborate with each other for construction.
When humans left, only Taiyin was left on Earth, a quantum computer with advanced artificial intelligence. Although the computing power of the other quantum computers was not inferior to Taiyin, they were not endowed with advanced artificial intelligence and had no autonomy.
At that time, humans considered that too much advanced artificial intelligence and too much autonomy might lead to unexpected variables. So in order to make artificial intelligence faithfully execute the commands left by humans, only Taiyin, a high-level artificial intelligence, was left.
However, Taiyin does not have the authority to produce more advanced artificial intelligence, whether it is a quantum computer with advanced artificial intelligence or a bionic human with advanced artificial intelligence.
Only humans have this authority.
It was not until Lin Xu's awakening that Taiyin gave birth to Miss Qiu, a companion-type bionic human with advanced artificial intelligence, with Lin Xu's consent.
"Taiyin, how many intelligent quantum computers are needed to successfully build a planetary engine?"
"Three is enough."
"Okay, let's build two more."
At the Lunar Genetic Research Institute, Lin Xu has just completed genetic modification.
Adapting to the condition of my body.
The so-called genetic modification can make Lin Xu's body stronger and easier to adapt to long-distance life in space.
For example, Lin Xu, who has now completed genetic modification, can easily break the world records in various sports competitions in the 21st century.
Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is to prolong life.
A sufficiently long lifespan is a necessary foundation for long-term space travel.
After the genetic modification is completed, Lin Xu can theoretically live for about 500 years.
In addition, the hibernation chamber can allow for long-term hibernation, so Lin Xu only needs to wake up from time to time to deal with some issues that require his authority. This is enough for him to last until ten thousand years, or even longer.
This is also one of the reasons why Lin Xu decided to follow in the footsteps of mankind and find the confidence of mankind.
Because he has plenty of time.
Although compared with the vastness of the universe, this amount of time is still just a drop in the ocean.
Lin Xu's other confidence comes from the curvature engine construction factory left behind by humans in the Proxima Centauri system.
Therefore, when building the planetary engine, the autonomous machinery intentionally left room for the installation of the curvature engine. Once it arrived at the Proxima Centauri system and obtained the factory's equipment and comprehensive information, it would be able to upgrade the curvature engine for the planetary engine.
Only then, with a speed close to the speed of light, can we truly catch up with humans.
Lin Xu now only hopes that after ten thousand years, the curvature engine factory will still be intact, or at least most of it will be intact and not damaged beyond repair.
Aboard the Wu Gang lunar orbital space station, a giant pendulum rotates to create artificial gravity similar to that of Earth.
Lin Xu was standing in the lobby of the Wu Gang at this time, feeling the gravity similar to that on Earth, listening to the passionate music of "Start a New Journey" resounding throughout the space station, swinging the golf club again, and playing golf with the lunar scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window as the background.
This time, Lin Xu felt that his control over strength, angle, etc. had improved by more than one level. Although he had only played golf a few times, he relied on the precise control of how every muscle in his body exerted force to easily hit the golf ball to any position he wanted, and even achieved a hole-in-one.
Clap, clap, clap. The sound of mechanical applause from Miss Qiu came from behind, but Lin Xu did not feel happy at all.
After trying a few times, Lin Xu dropped the golf club in his hand and did two chest expansion exercises, feeling the power in his body and his control over this power. He was amazed that a otaku like himself who never did any exercise could have such good physical fitness, even better than professional athletes. How could this be justified?
Outside the window, with the moon as the backdrop , the autonomous machinery that obscures the entire lunar land and sky is intensively building the lunar engine.
Once completed, the lunar engine will push the moon out of the Earth's gravitational orbit, making it a satellite of Mars.
The moon, a satellite that has been praised in countless poems from ancient times to the present and carries countless human emotions, will be watching here.
Until the day when Earth returns, in an unknown future.
Lin Xu stood in front of the window, admiring the magnificent scenery, while the music of the space station transitioned to "Space Elevator".
"Hello, human Lin Xu. The advanced artificial intelligence quantum computer has been built. According to your order, two have been built in total. Please name them." Taiyin's voice sounded through the space station 's broadcasting system.
"Just call them Yinghuo and Qiming." Lin Xu said the names he had thought of long ago.
As a person who is not good at naming, Lin Xu didn't know what name to come up with.
But I thought of the name Taiyin, which is the name of the moon in ancient times.
Then I thought that we were about to leave the solar system.
It would be better to just name these two after the planets in the solar system.
Yinghuo and Qiming, these are the ancient names of Mars and Venus, which can also be regarded as a kind of commemoration.
"Master, Yinghuo reports to you."
"Master, Qiming reports to you."
Two voices that were more dull than Taiyin's were heard.
He no longer addressed the human Lin Xu, but instead called him Master, just like Miss Qiu.
Lin Xu laughed.
It doesn’t matter if it’s rigid, advanced artificial intelligence can develop.
Sooner or later, they will become more and more like a real intelligent life, just like Taiyin.
