Chapter 195: Chapter 138: Artificial Intelligent Life

However, since he already acquired such a device, Shen Shi planned to pay close attention to this field, as it was currently the most promising area to help Future World advance successfully.

Therefore, when Tao De extended the invitation, Shen Shi agreed without much consideration.

Moreover, he did not directly arrive on his warship.

Given his current status, this could be considered an official inspection.

At the agreed-upon time, Shen Shi boarded the transport aircraft on Star Sea Island.

He discovered that this type of transport aircraft had undergone significant modifications compared to previous planes. Its power engine was no longer mounted on the tail but directly on the wings, achieving a helicopter-like take-off effect through two void propellers on the wings.

"This must be the breakthrough in engine technology brought by high-energy batteries," Shen Shi commented after boarding.

"Indeed, it is based on energy revolution, but not only that. The technology provided by Star Sea Company includes more advanced engine technology, which is also greatly related to breakthroughs in material technology and related processes," Tao De replied with what seemed to be an extra gleam in his eyes.

He also underwent certain body modifications.

Of course, not in terms of physical strength.

Just some awareness control chips combined with storage banks that allow him to quickly retrieve the content he wants to know.

"To achieve this level within just one year is truly remarkable," Shen Shi commented quietly.

This transport aircraft left a good impression on him; even though he was close to the engine, the noise was very low, and the flight was extremely stable. Not only could it take off vertically, but it could also exceed the speed of previous jets after acceleration.

At least it recently surpassed technology from twenty years ago.

For transportation and transit on Blue Star, it was adequate.

However, it was clear that it was not yet applicable in areas that human civilization needed more urgently and posed greater dangers, like Jupiter and Mars. For these places, there was still a heavy reliance on transport aircraft produced by the production line brought by Shen Shi.

But this production line cannot be expanded... humans cannot build such a production line.

This is the incompleteness of the production link.

In some more advanced technologies, the issue is not merely about the production chain.

For instance, humans have not fully grasped the technology related to anti-gravity engines, so how could they know how to manufacture those millions of different components? What parameters should they adhere to?

Even trying to mimic the model won’t work.

Technical knowledge and the production chain are indispensable; the faster the development pace demands, the less one can rely solely on one leg, otherwise the faster speed only leads to a harder fall.

Going through the requirements for rapid technological development in his mind, Shen Shi sat on the transport aircraft and arrived at a desert in Eastern Country.

The reason to establish the research center in such a place was not to prevent leaks or protect secrets.

Currently, the transition on Blue Star is basically complete, and the old reactionaries who tried to stop the transition with force have been mostly dealt with. In terms of scientific research, there is a high degree of global cooperation, so there is actually no need to guard against espionage or data leakage.

Those with the capability would not do such things.

The few who intended to, the Human Federation’s Patent Technology Review Department wasn’t idle.

Scientists no longer need to hide their identities or cut off contact; they can always chat freely with their families and friends.

The reason the research base was still established in such remote places was simply to ensure safety.

Yes, some scientific research is extremely, extremely dangerous.

Nuclear energy-related research is unmentionable; if a nuclear explosion occurs, it would bring catastrophic disaster to the surroundings, and while high-energy batteries are very safe in usage, the research process is not equally safe.

It could be said that most of the researchers in extraterrestrial technology fields are conducting research at great personal risk.

Though they currently cannot match the role played by warriors, they are equally great.

"I should have paid attention to this field earlier," Shen Shi reflected upon learning this information, feeling slightly regretful.

Although he hadn’t met those scientists yet, he already began to look forward to their expressions of surprise.

Upon the transport aircraft’s landing, Shen Shi saw a group of people already gathered below, anxiously waiting.

They were all wearing white lab coats, many donned glasses, and some appeared quite weary and aged - something almost unimaginable in current human civilization.

With the ability to complete body modifications, not to mention nearsightedness?

With the help of the cell activation potion and other supplementary medicinal aids, the vast majority of people could maintain youthfulness, health, and vitality, so how could they be weary?

Shen Shi looked towards Tao De.

"Our support for researchers is unstinting," Tao De said a bit helplessly, seemingly knowing what Shen Shi was thinking. "But over the past year, most of them have been in a state close to insanity, some even without time for a minor modification, and the cell activation potion also fails to sustain their high-intensity work state... Councillor Shen, don’t be shocked later, the ones most stimulated by your appearance across the globe are these scientists."
