Chinese highly automated dark factories.

   Chinese highly automated dark factories. 

Chinese dark factories are so highly automated that they don’t even need light. This is the future of manufacturing. Robots working in complete darkness. Those systems are controlled by the AI. And that makes the assembly process very effective. Human-shaped robots can make almost everything that humans can. 

An advanced machine learning toolkit allows operators. To teach machines new things. very effectively. The system needs only one robot. That can make something, and then that system can scale that new skill over the entire network. That makes robots very effective workers. And maybe those ghost factories are starting to operate in Western cities. Robot factories are interesting. Especially if human-shaped robots work in that factory. 

That is the thing. That makes the AI dangerous. The ability to teach one robot and then scale that thing to all robots makes it possible to teach robot armies very effectively. The same human-shaped robot that can make cars. It can act as a robot soldier. That is one thing that we must realize. The second thing is that kinds of highly automated systems can also make other products than cars. The new stealth systems require ultimate secrecy. And the robot workers are a solution to that problem. 

The robot worker doesn’t call the newspaper. If it makes something that is not public. Another thing is that the robot worker can change its role by pressing a button. Flexible CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/ Computer Aided Manufacturing) platforms that turn the CAD drawings straight to the product. Mean that the system can change the product in minutes. The factory involves 3D printers and machine workers. Those systems can make everything. They have instructions and raw materials. Those factories can make cars, aircraft, and other robots. 

That kind of thing can make many things more effectively than humans. That means those systems are the ultimate competitors for Western factories. They can make products without brakes. And that makes them ultimate operators in the military and civil sectors. The Chinese government, like all other actors, might be interested about the robot factory as a military robot producer. There is a possibility that robot factories are installed on ships. and they can build customized robots or other robot factories if they have enough raw materials. Or the ability to search for raw materials from nature. 

Quantum microchips and photonic interactions.

Harvard scientists built a quantum computer on a chip. And that drives advances to the room- or table-sized quantum computers and quantum networks. This kind of system can also make the quantum internet, at least in the short range, possible. But long-distance wireless quantum communication requires new tools like photonics. Some researchers say that the future is in photonic microchips. That means the light acts as a data transporter. Those systems will use less energy than electric microchips.  But that thing requires new systems like optical gates. Today, researchers can make photonic microchips, but those systems are large-scale, and their mirrors and light cutters require AI-based systems that can control those light-based components. 

The main problem is how to make effective photonic versions of the electric components. And especially the photonic gates and switches are hard to make. The reason for that is that leaders will heat the physical iris. And controlling that system is not as effective as it should be. Data travels differently in those microchips. Theoretically, the system can use two frequencies or colors. The green can be one, and red can be zero. The system inputs serial numbers to those photonic bits so that the system can sort them into the right order. But the control system is very complicated.

Photonic interactions can solve many problems in quantum networks. If we think of a system that shoots a thin light wave or light quantum through the photon, that system can make the new quantum internet possible. The system downloads data to the particle from the photon, and then that data travels to that wave. For working perfectly, that system requires very accurate ways to control photons and their interactions. The photonic systems that are in the photonic interactions, where light scatters light to make possible things like optical gates. The photonic gate means a system where another lightwave or photon cuts the route of the lightwave. The system can also adjust the energy level of the light wave or adjust the lightwave’s wavelength. 

The photonic system that scatters light allows the cone that protects microchips and sensitive components against outgoing radiation. That system makes lightwaves travel past the layer. It would deny electromagnetic waves from reaching the shell of the system. The photonic interaction or scattering effect can make it possible to create new types of stealth systems. The idea is that the light or photons form a needle that scatters lightwaves past the object. If that scattered light can aim electromagnetic radiation to reach and reflect from the surface or aims reflection out from the observer, that thing makes the object itself invisible. There can be standing waves at the crossing point of the scattered waves. So the observer would see the lights in those points.
