The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves.

Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons.

One of the most interesting hybridizations between the living organism and robotics might be the nanotechnological civilization, where each member of the group is only a couple of neurons, which is connected to the microprocessor and radio transmitters. The structure of that hypothetical entirety might be like the lichen, there could be the system like some kind of roots, what is taking nutrient for the neurons.

And the neuron-layer is connected to the microchip and the small radio telescope, what can control the robots, what are serving that strange cyborg. There are many hypotheses about what the singularity of the technology and living organisms might look like. But the nanotechnical entirety is not very often seen in those visions. The thing is that the single unit of the entirety cannot make many things, but a large number of those things can be extremely intelligent entirety.

The shape of the nanotechnical civilization could be the large group of nanosize submarines. The living neurons would control the operations of the submarines, and those subs will communicate with each other by using lasers or radio communication tools. Or some other kinds of systems and the systems are forming the entirety.

Even those systems would not make many things, they can control larger robots, which can act as their servants. So if we are continuing the thinking about what kind of things that kind of civilization will make, it might have human-shaped robots, what have tanks inside them. The neurons could travel inside those tanks, and if the midget submarines can give those neurons greater survivability.

When we are thinking about the shape of aliens, we must confess that the opportunities for evolution are limitless. The nanotechnical aliens, which are traveling in their miniature submarines in the form of neurons is one of the possibilities, how the civilization will make sure it will survive.

This kind of wild vision that the only thing that remains of aliens is the neurons, which are in midget submarines are strange to us. But maybe we are thinking differently after let's say about 500 000 years ago in the future. And in that case, we might learn to live in peace.
