No. 005 Hanshoku Spacecraft 繁殖する探査機
Flashback | Transmission Log from Professor Takamiya
ウ01
森村千尋: 鷹宮教授…
探査機の「繁殖」予測はどう？
Chihiro Morimura: Professor Takamiya.
How are the projections on those self-replicating probes?
鷹宮由貴: シミュレートでは
「生息」範囲の拡大は予測値を上回っている
個体より群体としての強度を重視して正解ね
探査機はもはや生きる機械
失効中に小惑星へとりつき採掘した資源で自己増殖する
機械は生まれては壊れ…
無限に繁殖しながら目的地を目指す
この計画に途中での失敗はあり得ないわ
計画は続けられる 人類が滅んだあとでもね…
Yuki Takamiya: The simulations look good.
Especially the survey range. We never expected a rate of expansion that high.
It was definitely the right call to prioritize its strength as a group over individual units.
These probes are pretty much living machines now.
They self-replicate using natural resources mined from asteroids in their routing.
They’ll just keep building up and breaking down.
An infinite cycle of self-replication on its way to its target.
There’s basically zero chance of the tech failing midway through.
They’ll just keep on going…
…Probably long after humanity’s gone.
森村千尋: 専門家に見てもらえて安心したわ
これでメモリキューブの精製が終われば準備完了
Chihiro Morimura: Glad I came to an expert, then.
All that’s left is the refinement of the memory cube.
鷹宮由貴: 構造型の記憶素子ね
Yuki Takamiya: The infrastructural storage cell, right?
森村千尋: 比較用に同じものを5枚重ねたキューブよ
周囲の探査機とも比較させ修復させる
Chihiro Morimura: The cube’s made up of five identical memory layers.
In theory, it’ll compare itself to nearby probes and use them as a template for repairs.
鷹宮由貴: 修復不可能になれば
探査機個体が死を迎えるわけね
Yuki Takamiya: And if it can’t be repaired, well…
Fine, one probe down. We’ve got thousands more.
森村千尋:
Chihiro Morimura: And our passengers?
鷹宮由貴: 生き残った全員の遺伝子を乗せる
15人の遺伝子データは格納済みよ
あとは送り出すだけ
Yuki Takamiya: I’ll be loading them up with the DNA of all the survivors.
I’ve already got samples and data from all fifteen.
Now it’s just down to launching them.
森村千尋: 私たちのクローンに望みを託してね
Chihiro Morimura: These clones will go with all our hopes on their shoulders.
鷹宮由貴: ところで…
遺伝子検査で判明した彼…
どうするの？
Yuki Takamiya: By the way…
What do we do about him?
I mean, after that DNA test…
森村千尋: どうもしない
今更何を言えというの
Chihiro Morimura: …
We do nothing.
…He doesn’t have to know. What could I even say to him?
鷹宮由貴: …それもそうね…
Yuki Takamiya:
…Not much, I guess.
