Chapter 153: Chip Storm

Whether operating as experts or security personnel, the high-simulation robots actually have certain limitations.

Therefore, Secretary Leng was specifically arranged to lead and handle some of their integrated coordination affairs to avoid detection.

Du Qiu established a security company called Iron Guard in the Tanga Federation. Not only does it have the right to use weapons within the territory of the Tanga Federation, but also, through the military of the Tanga Federation, this right has been extended to several neighboring countries.

In other words, in Eastern and Southern Africa, Du Qiu has a legitimate armed force.

The 20 high-simulation intelligent security officers sent out this time can be called real-life Terminators, with a composite strength not inferior to the performance of the governor in the movies.

Although weapons cannot be used in Tang Country, these high-simulation robots are weapons themselves and will be able to ensure the safety of the protected individuals.

Secretary Leng, a robot that can be mistaken for a real person, was found by Du Qiu in the Maintainers’ database from his dreams.

These robots come with a complete production process. However, the Maintainers’ database indicates that this type of robot has not been produced for over ten thousand years.

Seeing these lifelike robots, Du Qiu was astonished for a long time.

He did not expect that the intelligent extraterrestrial beings from his dreams would resemble Earth’s humans so closely.

The reason they are not described as identical is that the intelligent extraterrestrial beings have six fingers on each hand and their heads are slightly longer than those of humans from Blue Star.

Moreover, their stature is taller with an average height of 2.2 meters, and the Maintainers designed the humanoid robots based on their image.

The database does not explain why the production of these simulation robots stopped so long ago.

However, Du Qiu isn’t concerned about this; he immediately sought to replicate and produce these types of robots.

Of course, Du Qiu modified their appearance to make these robots look exactly like humans from Blue Star.

The duplication and production of high-simulation robots is difficult, especially their external flesh and skin, which require nanotechnology.

After intensive research, Du Qiu successfully produced them three months ago.

However, the entire set of production processes is very complex, and with the base’s strong production capacity, the monthly output is less than 200, reflecting the production difficulty of such robots.

In fact, the most challenging aspect is the intelligent chips for these robots, because there is limited space inside the robot, and it’s not possible to make them giant supercomputers like Star Ocean.

Yet, without sufficient computational power, it is very difficult for artificial intelligence programs to operate.

Without qualified artificial intelligence program scheduling, it’s hard for the robot to achieve nearly 100% simulation of a human.

Unfortunately, since Du Qiu has not yet developed photonic quantum computing chips, he can only produce the previous silicon carbide chips.

Therefore, Du Qiu sought ways to further increase the chip capacity, attempting to reduce the original 1-nanometer intelligent chips to an even smaller scale of 3 angstroms.

This allows more integrated circuits to be printed on the same size silicon carbide wafer, thereby improving performance.

Chips produced in this way can just barely run quasi-strong artificial intelligence programs, allowing high-simulation robots to perfectly control their bodies and possess a certain degree of adaptability.

Additionally, since Du Qiu’s nanotechnology is not up to par, the replicated robots cannot reach the almost human-like degree of the original ones, so a special interference device has been added to the design.

This interference device allows security scanning equipment on Blue Star to receive a simulated image, thus preventing the detection of the robot’s true nature.

Of course, the more important energy section of the high-simulation intelligent robot is powered by a graphene battery developed by Du Qiu, which supports up to 4 hours of full-power activity of the robot.

Normally, if the robot operates like a normal human, the battery can last for 8 hours.

Fortunately, this type of battery charges very quickly, completing the charging process in just a few minutes.

Originally, high-simulation robots all possessed strong artificial intelligence; now, having only reached quasi-strong artificial intelligence, they can only ensure they have specific expertise.

This enables them to complete specific tasks on limited hardware.

Sometimes, Star Ocean must assist them in dealing with highly complex situations, a limitation that has prevented Du Qiu from applying these robots on a large scale.

Du Qiu understands that further research into photonic quantum computing technology is necessary; once it can be realized, these robots can all achieve strong artificial intelligence levels.

At that point, perhaps these robots could truly blend into human society seamlessly.

To ensure Star Ocean’s real-time connection with these robots, Star Ocean secretly took control of some commercial satellites again.

Since it could not expose the fact that it was controlling satellites, this imposed some restrictions on how Star Ocean used them.

Consequently, Du Qiu designed a high-performance communication satellite.

With the help of some business routes established by a group of companies, Du Qiu had this type of communication satellite launched into space by various aerospace powerhouses.

Within just three months, a total of six satellites have been deployed into the orbit of Blue Star, and Du Qiu has initially established his own satellite communication network.

During this process, a word about the situation with Wisdom Technology is warranted.

After Du Qiu’s incident, he initially did not contact Yu Donghua because he was his childhood friend, and there might be GIA personnel watching him.

Only after he settled down did he contact Yu Donghua, and at the time, the chip research team of Wisdom Technology was progressing very slowly.

Since Star Ocean was fully assisting Du Qiu in getting settled in the Tanga Federation and could not direct these developers while Du Qiu also had not given them all the information.

Seeing time pass by with the product far from completion and with Du Qiu nowhere to be found, Yu Donghua would have struggled to keep the company afloat if not for his financial investment success.

As Du Qiu got in touch with him and Star Ocean resumed its technical guidance, the research and development progress suddenly accelerated, but it also brought a new problem.

Unable to return to Tang Country, it posed a problem if Wisdom Technology launched a new chip too quickly, as the corresponding production equipment would become an issue.

At least Dream Technology is not currently suitable to reveal new chip production equipment, as Du Qiu, the technical soul of the company, is currently missing.

If a leading new product were to be launched, it would inevitably lead to suspicions that Du Qiu may have returned to Dream Technology.

After discussing with Yu Donghua, Du Qiu decided to slow down the progress until these high-simulation robots were produced.

Du Qiu specifically created a core chip research and development team of five people for Wisdom Technology, and the technical support that Star Ocean had previously provided to Wisdom Technology’s development team was now accounted for.

This core development team, consisting of high-simulation robots, came from the United States and joined Wisdom Technology in Magic City.

The reason being that the current environment in the United States was extremely hostile towards scientists of Tang descent, and these five individuals consequently decided to return to Tang Country.

Of course, these five individuals were descendants of Tang Country people who immigrated to the United States years ago, and they no longer had any relatives in Tang Country.

With the arrival of these five individuals, Wisdom Technology could also naturally launch a new type of chip, which was plausible considering the establishment time of Wisdom Technology.

Based on third-generation semiconductor technology, a completely new architecture chip was developed, using 1-nanometer technology; upon release, it shocked the entire world!

However, the two chip oligopolies in the United States will not easily let Wisdom Technology rise to prominence.

Of course, Intel and Qualcomm would not say it openly, but all downstream manufacturers privately understood this.

The two oligopolies took common action because they were the first to receive Wisdom Technology’s new chip.

The test results shocked both companies, verifying that this truly was the 1-nanometer technology that Wisdom Technology had advertised!

“Oh heavens, oh earth, we were still researching 5-nanometer technology. How did this Tang Country company manage to take a shortcut to 1-nanometer?”

This was the shared sentiment of the research and development personnel of the two chip oligarchs.
