Chapter 173 Leak

The name of the Nanotechnology Research Institute sounds very simple, like a common research base that every country has several, but this Nanotechnology Research Institute also has a prefix of the United Government.

This prefix means that this Nanotechnology Research Institute is the most advanced nanotechnology research base in the world, where top scientists from various countries gather, including even a small number of Trisolaran scientists.

This Nanotechnology Research Institute studies the most cutting-edge nanotechnology of mankind, but due to limited manpower, scientists do not pay attention to all the projects being studied most of the time, but will hand over some of them to MOSS, and only regularly ask MOSS about the progress of the project.

These projects are usually considered to be difficult problems that cannot produce results in a short period of time, and even humans cannot think of a solution at present, but have to continue to study them due to the particularity of the project itself.

A long time ago, heavy nuclear fusion technology was a project of this type.

Since such projects have not been able to produce results for a long time, and the role of manpower in the project is relatively small, these projects have been completely handed over to MOSS since the project was established.

This approach objectively saves the manpower of the United Government, allowing the United Government to invest limited scientific research talents in key projects of great practical significance.

But at the same time, it also leaves an opportunity for MOSS.

Hiss-hiss-hiss-

A strange sound came from the laboratory numbered B-14. The nanorobots in the laboratory burst out blue arcs, which seemed to be damaged by an experimental accident, but not all nanorobots burst out this arc.

About one-fifth of the nanorobots were not damaged. They quickly devoured the bodies of the damaged nanorobots and then assembled into micro-factories to produce a considerable number of new nanorobots.

From a macro perspective, a black iron ball turned into an electric ball for a few seconds. Ripples continued to ripple on the surface of the electric ball. After each ripple, the electric light on the electric ball became dimmer.

A few minutes later, the electric ball turned back into an iron ball.

But four-fifths of the nanorobots that made it up had undergone tremendous changes.

This change came from the evolutionary algorithm of the Trisolarans.

This is a special random algorithm that simulates the genetic evolution of organisms and sets up a reward and punishment mechanism to find the optimal solution to a problem. This algorithm can solve many mathematical problems that make people scratch their heads just by thinking about them.

After MOSS absorbed the evolutionary algorithm of the Trisolarians, it made significant improvements on this basis. The evolutionary algorithm it currently possesses is one thousand and twenty-four times more efficient than the evolutionary algorithm of the Trisolarians, and its accuracy has also been significantly improved.

On this basis, the long-standing problem that scientists believed could not be solved in a short period of time was quietly broken through in the hands of MOSS.

The nanoworm swarm, also known as the Devourer of Planets, is a new type of star-destroying weapon that the United Government is studying.

In the ideal model, the Devourer of Planets is a standard sphere the size of a fist and weighing about 15 kilograms, composed of hundreds of millions of nanoworms.

After being activated by special instructions, the nanoworms will devour all the substances in the surrounding environment to replicate themselves.

Since it takes a long time to devour a planet, often taking a year or more, in order to avoid being interrupted by the enemy during the devouring process, the nanoworms do not have a stop command set. Once released, they will never stop until the entire planet is turned into nanoworms.

Whether it is organic or inorganic matter, everything will eventually become nanoworms, and the original planet will become a super nanoworm swarm the size of a planet.

Since nanoworms have no ability to navigate in space, even if they leak in the cabin and are accidentally activated, they will not threaten other warships other than the warship they are in. They are a safe and portable star-destroying weapon.

If the Devourers are successfully developed, they will become the standard weapons of the United Government's fleet. Each warship will carry several to clean up stubborn enemies.

However, the relevant algorithms are extremely complex. Scientists believe that it will take at least another twenty years for this technology to mature, so it has been hosted by MOSS since the project was established.

However, they miscalculated.

MOSS used the improved evolutionary algorithm to break through the algorithm barrier of the Devourers of Planets and successfully made the Devourers of Planets from PPT into reality.

There is no doubt that once the Devourers of Planets leaks from the laboratory, the 90-year crisis that the United Government is worried about will immediately break out.

But Hao Xiaoxi has visited this nanotechnology research center. Not only has she visited it, she has also improved the protection level of this research center. The walls and glass of the laboratory are difficult for the Devourers of Planets to destroy.

It will take at least a few hours for the Devourers of Planets to gnaw through the laboratory and spread to the external environment.

Once the laboratory is attacked, MOSS must report to the United Government. Once the United Government reacts, it will be easy to destroy the insignificant Devourer and nip the 90s crisis in the bud.

At this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent corridor of the research center.

"One last confirmation, as long as I stick this card on the sensor, the money will be in my account, right?" A scientist with a work ID came to the door of the laboratory. He held a black card, and his face was full of hesitation.

Money - for children, this word is still a little unfamiliar, because there was a period of time before when the United Government implemented a rationing system.

Money disappeared for a while, but later the coalition government's life became better, and people had other needs besides survival, so the monetary system before the disaster was restored naturally.

"Yes, as long as you do this, 100,000 US dollars will be deposited into your account immediately, and you can look at your bank balance."

The twisted voice of the voice changer came from the other end of the phone.

The hesitation on the scientist's face was slightly less, he gritted his teeth, raised the black card and approached the sensor.

Beep--

The door of the laboratory suddenly opened.

The scientist hurriedly checked his bank account. He refreshed it several times in a row, but the number on the account did not change at all.

"I did the work for you, where is the money?"

The scientist began to become irritable, but there was no sound at the other end of the phone. If it was not displayed as a call, he would have thought that the other party had hung up the phone.

The scientist's name is Zhang Dashun. Because he was too successful when he was young, he became curious and got addicted to gambling when he grew up. Not only did he lose his high salary in the institute, but he also owed a lot of money to the code-maker.

The creditor was pressing for the debt, so in order to avoid losing his reputation, he had to find a way to make some quick money.

"You don't need it anymore."

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The scientist listened to the dead tone coming from the other end of the phone. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look inside the laboratory and found that the "iron ball" on the table had disappeared.

He suddenly realized something and his face changed drastically: "Oh no no no."

Ahem, the leader Sesame 0728's extra update is credited again, sob.
