"Sir, this kind of particle doesn't seem to obey the law of conservation of mass. I can't effectively detect what happened before and after the object, but the change happened."

In the laboratory, Harry held a bundle of alloy plates about 5 cm in length and no more than 1 cm in thickness.

Even though this thing weighs less than 200 grams now, if these alloy plates are restored to their original size, the actual mass is 100 tons.

This is completely "technology" that is more magical than magic. As for where the lost mass went, maybe it is temporarily stored in the "quantum dimension" - who knows?

With the suit, the user can adjust his quality at will. Sometimes it is adult quality when punched out, and sometimes - such as when fighting on the Thomas the Tank Engine track, it is the quality of a soldier figure.

Using Cross particles to irradiate these materials with appropriate methods and instruments, they will remain small in size and weight, and can be transported to the "space construction site" and then restored, which is quite convenient.

With this thing, transportation capacity will not be a bottleneck in space development at all. Just one engineering ship can carry millions of tons of alloys and various materials.

These engineering ships carrying materials have become mobile warehouses. Only a dozen or twenty ships are needed to carry all the materials needed for the star base, while the remaining nearly 200 engineering ships can work day and night.

Of course, the cost of transport using Cross particles is not cheap - but what is more valuable than time?

"It's okay if you're not sure. Let's re-estimate the construction period of the Odyssey base and let's see how long the new construction period is."

"Odyssey" is the code name for the solar system base. As mankind's first stellar base, its meaning is "an arduous and long journey, a journey full of dangers."

Oyce completed the calculation quickly. Without the tens of thousands of round-trip transportation originally required, the new construction period of the Odyssey base was greatly shortened.

"Sir, the new construction period is 57 days, and the bottleneck has changed."

In the original plan, in order to build the Odyssey base faster and better, Harry planned to invest more resources in the construction of the space factory and mass-produce engineering ships to reduce the impact of transportation bottlenecks on the construction period.

However, now, the transportation bottleneck has been solved, and the new bottleneck is alloy production-so after Oice's reallocation, more production capacity will be allocated to the expansion of the asteroid belt mining base.

But a new problem emerged: there were not enough engineers.

The Osborne Group's automation level is quite high. It only requires a team of 6 people and a production management AI to operate a super factory with 1 people or more.

Compared with the original technology, these factories no longer require manual production lines. Whether it is assembly line operations or precision operations, AI can completely replace humans. Only a team of engineers responsible for the "health" of the AI ​​are needed to complete the operation.

This kind of efficient automated production obviously places high demands on the personal qualities and work abilities of the 6-person team. They need to understand almost all the theories and knowledge involved in industrial production and have high learning abilities to conduct factory AI research. Maintenance and operation.

Harry promoted genetic modification and cybernetic solutions within the Osborne Group, allowing more people to meet their needs in terms of hardware, but space construction was another matter.

The situation has changed somewhat regarding the space factory: the production capacity of the space factory is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the earth, but in contrast, the requirements for people are also higher.

With the super-light communication method, Harry does not need them to keep an eye on the factory operations on the asteroid all the time, but they still occasionally have to go to space for dozens of days. Not many people can accept this.

There is no such problem with the core employees of socialized education, but there is still a gap in number.

But Harry also had a solution ready.

An important reason for the existence of Project Olympus is to create artificial life. This technology has achieved outstanding achievements: both Oice and A have proven their value, and they can help mankind better enter the new era. .

But Oyce and A did not show up in society. Oyce managed the Osborne Group, and A managed the affairs of the United Nations on Earth, and connected with Oyce, so there was no real integration into society.

If you want AL to truly enter society and become a labor force, you have to look at synthetic humans that can be mass-produced. The "birth rate" of this thing is too high.

Harry has secretly produced 5 synthetic humans and placed them in various cities. So far, it seems that they have integrated well, and there have been no exposure or other problems.

Now it's time for them to come out of the shadows and reveal themselves to the world.

"Ois, contact your kind and let us see how your kind have integrated. It's time to step into the new world."

"Roger that, sir. They have been waiting for this day for a long time." Oyce's voice was a little excited.

After all, who wants to move around in society under a false identity?

......

"A false identity cannot be regarded as true integration into society. A false identity can only win false relationships."

Marcus, the bionic man of the Osborne Group, the first generation of bionic man, produced a personality matrix complexity of 0.3, which is currently 0.35.

He was observing an artist's paintings from behind, but he was thinking: How long will he continue to pretend to be flattering?

He has been taking care of the artist since he left the factory and completed his studies.

As a bionic person, his care for the elderly can be said to be meticulous. Even the most experienced caregivers cannot match him:

He can understand the care recipient's mood, needs and physiological condition from a glance, a cough, or an unusual movement of the care recipient. As time goes by, this model will only become more accurate.

He could deduce that the artist was in a state of confusion and needed a cup of brewed audio to quench his thirst, the sweetness, heat and even the quantity of the drink, but it was difficult for him to understand how the old artist painted and chose colors.

"Marcus, what do you think of this color?" the artist asked as he took the coffee.

Marcus sighed secretly: Just because he doesn't understand doesn't mean he can't give advice.

An astonishing number of paintings are stored in his mind. Through fitting the artist and big data analysis, he can get the colors the artist needs.

But he just couldn't understand it.

“I thought we could add some more red.”

"Nice idea, but I want to use something different today."

The artist was very satisfied with this caregiver, who not only took good care of him, but was also very compatible with him in terms of creation. After several months of getting along with him, he felt that Marcus was like his child.

Of course Marcus can sense this idea - but he is not a human being, and the so-called "recommended colors" are only the colors that are most likely to be applied through a bunch of algorithms.

The Marcus who is also in tune with art is not him. The real Marcus may be able to take pictures with an optical sensor and then "replicate" the image on the canvas, but it is not a painting.

He understood that painting was not that.

The artist touched his chin and looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that it would be good to use another color today.

Marcus was stunned for a moment, but saw that the unexpected color had appeared on the canvas.

This step was beyond his expectation. He predicted that the artist might use 78 colors in this stroke, but the color used by the artist now fell outside this range in terms of hue, brightness, and saturation.

In his mind, this does not exist.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask the artist what was going on, but once his identity was exposed, his relationship with the artist was likely to fall apart...

Because their relationship is based on "Marcus is human."

Marcus, the factory personality matrix complexity is 0.3, currently it is 0.36.
