Inside the villa. Yan Xia, with a beard, stood up excitedly. His boring time was finally coming to an end. "I'll be there right away." In order to avoid living in the small space of the spaceship, Yan Xia asked Ella to build him a steel villa, which was 600 square meters and had three floors. Due to the gradual improvement of the industrial system, the living experience in the villa is almost the same as on Earth. The villa even realizes oxygen circulation. People inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. All they need to do is collect these carbon dioxide and separate them into oxygen and carbon. Yan Xia went downstairs. He was immediately attracted by the streamlined silver "coffin" placed in the hall. It uses a supercar-like appearance, and there is a huge window on the top that can be seen from the outside. Inside looks like an ergonomic chair as soft as a mattress.
He pressed the switch, and after the hatch opened, he excitedly entered inside and lay down comfortably. "I have extracted all the nitrogen from the oxygen-nitrogen mixture in the spacecraft and made it into liquid nitrogen." "Yan Xia, you can lie inside and liquid nitrogen can be injected through the pipe, freezing your whole body in seconds." "Next to it is a reagent extracted to prevent the body's water from solidifying and harming the body. You need to drink it in advance, otherwise you may fall into a permanent sleep." Ella is getting smarter and smarter. Yan Xia ordered it to use the factory to make a larger host two years ago. Before, due to the limited space in the spacecraft, the host used by Ella was reduced. Although the host has not been made yet, Ella has initially completed the expansion equipment, and with sufficient power supply, its computing power has increased by 3 times. The power system on the asteroid now generates 250,000 degrees of electricity per day, of which Ella's host alone requires 70,000 degrees of electricity per day, which is terrifying. "As a human, I don't have as long a life as you." "I'm going to sleep, Ella, I'll leave everything here to you." Ella's ubiquitous loudspeaker answered Yan Xia. "No problem, Yan Xia, you can sleep without worry, I will wake you up at the most suitable time." It is unknown how long this sleep will last. All the doors of the warehouse were closed, and Yan Xia took off his space suit and lay in the hibernation freezer. The moment the door was closed and locked, a chill instantly swept over his body. Everything about him was frozen, including the extension of his subjective consciousness-time. The long time was no longer important to Yan Xia, because he could no longer feel the passage of time. When he opened his eyes again, he felt a trance. It seemed that he was called up just after closing his eyes.
However, the original warehouse was moved to a different place. This was a bright white hall with a white ceiling emitting soft light above. A huge screen was embedded in the surrounding walls. The screen was divided into many areas, playing surveillance videos from various places. And he was in the center of this hall. The door opened, Yan Xia held his breath at first, and then found that he didn't need to do so at all. This place is full of gas. "Ella!" He shouted. "Ella~~~" The huge space even echoed. This is a strange environment. The screens around changed quickly, and then a virtual character appeared. "I'm here, Yan Xia!" "Welcome to wake up again. There has been no independent creature around me in these years. It's a bit boring." Ella's intelligence is obviously closer to humans. Yan Xia came out of the hibernation chamber and found that the ground was also a screen. At this time, he was standing in the cloud. "How long have I been in hibernation?" "Yan Xia, you have been in hibernation for a full 100 years. This is also the wake-up time I preset at the beginning." AI still does not have the complexity of humans. Once a time point is set, there will be no hesitation or change. It looks like the alarm clock that Yan Xia hates the most. 100 years! For humans, this is a full lifetime. For human technology, it is the time from the outbreak of the third industrial revolution to the destruction of the earth. It's too long. When Yan Xia was on Earth, he never thought that he could really live to this moment-2144 AD. "What's going on with you?" Yan Xia was asking about Ella's current image, a white-haired, arrogant, white-silk lolita, a typical second dimension. "My data shows that Chinese people seem to like this image. Don't you like it, Yan Xia?" "Ahem~" Yan Xia coughed and changed the subject.
"Report the current situation." Hibernation is mainly to allow Ella to develop technology, not only to reproduce what human society already has, but also to create what has not been achieved before. Ella began to sort out the information. Soon, an introduction video was generated on the large screens around. "After a hundred years of development, we have now carried out a relatively in-depth development of the asteroid belt." "At this time, we have built factories on many asteroids, a total of 6,939." "Now we have 282,874 robots of various types, 723 high-precision multi-functional CNC machine tools, 183 3-picometer-level lithography machines, and 31 optical research laboratories..." One by one, there are so many aspects that Yan Xia has never heard of. These things constitute a complete supply chain and manufacturing chain. Yan Xia even thinks that if Ella is allowed to grow like this, she may be able to build a mechanical interstellar empire. Even now, he is no longer necessary for Ella. Fortunately, Ella itself was written by him, and the bottom layer is the three principles of robots. After the introduction, Yan Xia asked again. "What has been done now?" What really matters is what kind of products have been produced. "Ella has made changes to the previous plan. Before, only the survival of Yan Xia was considered. The revised plan mainly solves development and safety problems." "Although a small spaceship can reach a very fast speed, it cannot have room for development, which means that during the space travel, we will be in a stagnant period." "In order to solve this problem, the spaceship will be larger than the original plan." As he said, a design drawing appeared on the screen. "This is the appearance of the new spacecraft. It is 2627 meters long, 336 meters wide, and 251 meters high. It has a total of 24 super-large electromagnetic thrusters, and the maximum speed of the spacecraft can reach ." "The available spacecraft space is , 26142979 cubic meters, 1045719 square meters, and the large area is divided into 5 layers, each 25 meters high." "There are multiple functional areas inside the spacecraft, 58% for production and manufacturing, 18% for agriculture, 12% for warehousing, 9% for research, and 3% for life and entertainment." "..." The AI design has no flaws, and the spacecraft has been built perfectly enough. The original plan should have been a very small spacecraft, but after the controlled nuclear fusion device was produced, there was no need to be so wronged. Controlled nuclear fusion can make the spacecraft larger while ensuring the same original speed. "When can our spacecraft be produced?" This is what Yan Xia cares about most. "It has been produced, Yan Xia. You are now in the main cockpit inside the spacecraft."
Ella's virtual character covered his mouth and smiled. Its answer surprised Yan Xia. Such a huge spacecraft has been built. Change the original plan! This is a leap forward in Ella's artificial intelligence. The screen quickly showed a video of the spacecraft taken from the outside. A dark ship with a bullet-shaped appearance was docked on the side of an asteroid. Many mechanical arms extended from the asteroid, making it look like a dock. The surface of the asteroid has been fully developed at this time. The entire asteroid is covered with dense factories and machinery. It is not even flat, but three-dimensional. The tallest building is 300 meters high. I can't believe it. This should be a scene that can only be seen in science fiction movies, but it is actually presented in front of me. "It seems that the spacecraft has not been completely completed." Yan Xia noticed a detail. There is a huge opening in the back half of the spacecraft. Ella's virtual character instantly put on a hip skirt, put on glasses, and then took out a small stick to point at the spaceship on the screen, explaining seriously. "That's where the energy is installed." "In the 73rd year of your hibernation, Yan Xia, we developed the first generation of controlled nuclear fusion, completely abandoning the solar power generation model." "Now we have 28 first-generation controlled nuclear fusion devices and 9 second-generation controlled nuclear fusion devices." "Among them, 9 second-generation controlled nuclear fusion devices provide all the energy for the spacecraft. The reason why they have not been sealed is that we are now developing the third-generation controlled nuclear fusion device." "The energy efficiency of this controlled nuclear fusion device is 6 times that of the second generation, and the power generation is 18 times that of the second generation." "The third-generation controlled nuclear fusion device will be completed this year, and by then the spacecraft will be fully powered and reach the theoretical flight speed." After listening, Yan Xia was glad that he had made the decision to study the hibernation freezer early, otherwise waiting for controlled nuclear fusion would just be a waste of time. "So we have reached the final stage?" "There is only this third-generation controlled nuclear fusion device left." The virtual character Ella shook her head vigorously. "There is another very important thing." "Please ask Yan Xia to name the new spacecraft." Ella actually learned such a formal thing. Yan Xia did not refuse. After thinking about it, he decided to be more cliché. "Then let's call it Hope." "This spacecraft carries my hope and the hope of mankind."
Ella added mischievously. "And my hope, Ella's hope." Is there hope for AI? Yan Xia didn't know this. "Yes, it is also the hope of Earth civilization."
