acces memory on our world/planet
anylize it (you know, scan and stuff)
and store it in our memory banks, our personal memory.

[Armok]

Physics being different is exactly what makes this interesting. Not to mention it'd be stupid from an in-character perspective. Besides, we can build large things if we need to it's just that we haven't had a good enough reason to waste that much material.

Set up, in a well protected tunnel a pair of F-011, and however many processing cubes those can supply.

Start design and construction of a large 10um radius telescope. Preferably in modules so it can be taken apart and moved. I suggest a rotating structure slowly scanning one point at a time but with very high fidelity and getting a whole spectrogram for each point.

[Drago55577]

you iz smarts.

i have no idea what you said.

You receive a report.

Shortage of Supplies [Silicon]
It seems the dust in the area has started to become scarce, those R-011 need too much dust to produce such little silicon. On the other hand we are drowning in the surplus of carbon. The R-015 are making headway on the design of the Spectrum Sensor. Though with this shortage of silicon you have no idea how you will amass the required amount. You receive a development projection from the cubes. Apparently it will take some time before they are finished due to unknown nature of what they are attempting. You figure you can only wait..

Sorry short turn kinda. Have to get to studying. I'm keeping it on the 1um scale. Also you have a couple turns till your huge eye is done.
Drago - Armok is asking for a sensor capable of seeing the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Google it for clarity.

[Drago55577]

No I didn't know what spectrogram was.

[Loud Whispers]

I swear, the smiley questions shockingly resemble a lot of IQ tests.

[Armok]

> You need to figure out how to make most things without silicon, using only carbon. Set all processor cores to that.

Also, make a tunnel with very smooth walls and engrave it with backups of all important data we have.

[Drago55577]

replicate yourself, but give it a personality so its different to you (for a secret fortress thing) and deactivate it

i was thinking we have a main nanite, B (or R) -402 B-402     R-402

You send the processing cubes your new orders and they believe they will have something worked out for the EMS receptors/collectors and processing units, though they say for it to replace the reflection of light it will take some time to develop the technology.

You decide it is time to find out what makes you different from the R-010s. You assign a few of the R-010s to do a thorough examination of your structure and to draw up schematics as accurate as possible. You turn off your locomotion and movement and wait while they examine you.. You communicate and carry on with direction of the other nanites.

Short time after you receive a schematic through the uplink.

Enlarged Manipulators [Detailed]
Enlarge Processing Unit [Outlined]
High Efficiency EMS Collector [Detailed]
High Density Capacitor [Outlined]
High Quality Sensory Units [Detailed] [Several Types Found]
Extremely Dense Memory Unit [Outlined]
You look through the schematic and find several things not fully detailed. You quickly postulate that it would be impossible to examine these parts unless you were to rotate your subroutines through the parts that were not being examined, you figure you could only operate at 15% safely without any corruption of computations. Though that would mean you would be unable to do anything but leave your basic processes running to rotate your mind and wait to be awoke.

You receive news from the processing cube! They have managed to replace the need for silicon in the processing and EMS sensors and collectors, they believe with a little more time they will have a viable solution for the redirection of a commonly encountered amount of the EM Spectrum. They give a rough estimate of anywhere between the wavelengths of 10^-4m and 10^-7m.

The other nanites report the creation of several R-010s and a single R-015 using no silicon! Though they required a significant higher amount of carbon though.

What shall they work on now?

An underground conveyor/rail like system, for very rapid transportation of nanites and materials.

Also, have you moved everything except dust collection indoors yet?

seal-able gates for all tunnel entrances, good enough to hold a vacuum.

[Armok]

We have that already. It uses this steel we have basically an infinite amount of.

[Immortal]

Ill put an update up after class, yes the stuff was inside in the tunnels, pretty cramped though, I just wasn't giving a penalty. Ill assume you'd like to improve your underground infrastructure then. That'll be written up when I'm back today.

[Loud Whispers]

improve underground infrastructure.
expand undeground colony area.
do we have any nanites designed purely to detect and mine resources?

We have one I think, but I assume the other nanites have built more

[Immortal]

You are sitting in the main chamber of your steel tunnel system. Nanites move all around you, most dragging some substance or another to the factory. A M-001 burrows by you at high speeds through their pre-excavated trenches. It follows the trench as it snakes up the wall and along the ceiling bringing the mining nanite right above one of the oxidation plants. Its outer helical shell rotates to an opening and steel drops out it onto the pile below. You begin receiving a few reports.

Time: 21:42:76:12
From: R-011 Group (Dust Collection)
Dust collection is slowing. Found something of interest, upon looking
farther from nest for dust we have located an edge opposite the edge
with high visible light. It follows a sheer face down. Most interesting
is the weak uplink signal we have detected, communication is
impossible, even with our collective boost to our sensor range. Other
sensor reports show moving gas beyond edge.
Scan shows [78% N2 | 21% O2 | 0.9% Ar | 0.03% CO2]

You are unsure what to make of this.. you do feel excited of the possible sources capable of uplink communication.

Sorry update took a while pretty busy. Anyways gotta go, Ill update poll later, maybe!

[Armok]

(nice!)

> start building a "hangar": a *huge* camber ((100um)^3), with many long wall mounted crane-style arms (some with general assemblers and some with more specialized tools), high connectivity to all infrastructure, and a huge gate/lift like thing that can raise the contents to the surface of seal of the hangar. All this controlled remotely by the main processor array through an extended wired connection, and with a dedicated power supply.
