Chapter 1524: Chapter 498: Technical Exchange (6k)

Half an hour after the Potion auction ended, in another cabin of the warship

"I see... So Lord Fanmao actually solved it in this way!

By using intelligent chips to give each mechanical unit independent thinking, then connecting them through a swarm network.

Commanding with orders to assign tasks, combined with the mechanical forces’ own thoughts, allowing them to adapt their actions to the circumstances.

Each intelligence can also actively contact the core operator to report important situations..."

After listening to Bai Yi’s explanation, the Commander slowly nodded and murmured, trying to summarize Bai Yi’s previous description.

After receiving Bai Yi’s permission during the earlier exchange, the Commander hurriedly handled the fleet matters and found a room to start exchanging knowledge with Bai Yi.

Just as Bai Yi had speculated, after the initial simple Q&A, the Commander couldn’t wait to get to the point, inquiring about the technology related to the fleet’s command ability just now.

What he heard next was an answer that surprised him a bit.

Not because the idea was so novel, nor because it was so difficult.

In fact, this idea is not uncommon even in the Starry Sky; it’s just that most people, upon having similar thoughts and wanting to pursue further research, often encounter numerous failure cases, not excluding those of many high-level strong persons.

As a Mechanical Master, even he had attempts like this before and had thoughts of intelligent mechanical forces.

He wanted to use his perspective as an 8th Rank Mechanical Master to try to solve this problem.

But evidently, none of these attempts achieved the performance he required.

To get a similar artificial intelligence, there must be a high-performance computer, providing a foundational basis with powerful computational capabilities.

What follows, naturally, is a series of auxiliary devices needed for this computer.

Energy consumption aside, a too-large AI module would make the mechanical unit too cumbersome, and the increasing cost is also a significant issue.

If the artificial intelligence is too small, it would fail to meet the expected results and fail to fulfill combat requirements.

Not to mention the issue of prioritizing between different machinery units or between different artificial intelligences.

Even when following an order from higher-ups, "how to balance the priority between the mechanical units’ own thinking and the commands" is also a problem.

Because of these various issues that appeared in past tests, the Commander had given up the idea of integrating intelligence into the mechanical forces.

Instead, they opted for another path, one that the majority of Mechanical Masters in the Starry Sky had also walked.

Using a large mechanical device to carry a sufficiently powerful computer, amassing computational power to create a powerful artificial intelligence.

Then using this artificial intelligence to connect all mechanical forces via a quantum network, letting them think using this artificial intelligence.

The mechanical forces themselves retained only the most basic intelligence.

The advantage is that it is simple and convenient, requiring no extra cost, equating to equipping each mechanical force with the best-performing artificial intelligence.

When necessary, each mechanical unit could utilize powerful computational capabilities that aren’t their own.

The drawback naturally is the limitations of this artificial intelligence itself; once a large number of mechanical forces are mobilized simultaneously, there will be a shortage, preventing fine adjustments on a large scale.

Only from Bai Yi did he realize that another path is also feasible, and in some respects, even stronger!

"Ah, no wonder Fanmao can take this path.

It is probably due to Fanmao’s superpower, using from the beginning not normal mechanical forces, but the biologically classifiable, self-thinking Plant Legion.

From the start, it solved these issues and confirmed this line of thinking, thus naturally applying this principle elsewhere, such as in those warships..."

The Commander speculated secretly, clearly unaware that he had stumbled upon a certain truth.

Although the idea didn’t originate from the Plant Legion but already existed within the more extensive Insect Swarm network, it certainly fit the practical situation very well.

Of course, the actual knowledge isn’t as simple as his summary just now.

He had only summed up the general idea. As for more specific data, he had recorded it from Fanmao’s introduction just now.

It mainly involves how to handle those authority issues and the experience in using this special control method, which he planned to try out later.

He was confident, even if the technology could not be applied to his mechanical forces, it could greatly enhance his fleet control capabilities.

However, the Commander also remembered this was a mutual technical exchange, not just him obtaining from Fanmao.

After recording the data and knowledge, the Commander pondered for a moment and then selected a piece of knowledge to share:

"Thank you very much, Lord Fanmao, for your answer.

But it’s not much of an exchange if only Lord Fanmao shares knowledge.

Please allow me to offer this piece of knowledge as a token of appreciation to Lord Fanmao.

Heh, I noticed that although Lord Fanmao’s fleet control was outstanding, your mastery over firepower still seemed somewhat primitive.
