===Protocols=== | |||
'''Management and self-management''' | |||
To cover wide areas the bioc needs to grow and find energy sources. A "node" in a energy poor area can demand resources from other nodes so that the network become remains fully functional. Those nodes are also meant to transfer new instructions of an human operator through the entire network. | |||
'''Destructive scan''' | |||
In the early years the challenge was to control the Bioc cells at all, to give them directions, let them take shapes and build their sensors. | |||
In the basic research a non-destructive scan was out of reach. Instead the Bioc advanced into new areas with a crystal latices to then collect the information of its direct surroundings. This was exactly the time Pensatore had access to the Bioc. He actually planed to to create tools with it to escape the facility he was taken hostage in. | |||
'''Non-destructive scan''' | |||
With the improvement in control and self-management the Bioc was programmed to do autonomic scans of the environment. | |||
# It is supposed to go the way of the lowest resistance, preferring cracks in rocks, water channels in soil. | |||
# It is supposed to avoid multicellular life so that it doesn't aggregate in animals and disrupt any biological functions. | |||
During the bombing of GV there was a version with only the first set of protocols. Set free it spread everywhere and infect multicellular live while trying scanning it. | |||
'''Support of humans lives''' | |||
The question how the bioc could be of direct use to humans lead also to an medical concept. Victims of natural disasters (e.g. people buried under avalanches and destroyed houses) could be provided with clean water, heat, and wound treating to stop blood lose. | |||
It remains unclear whether Daya acquired such Bioc protocol or managed on her own to reach the fragile equilibrium of Bioc and Daodan growth rates. | |||
'''Geo-mapping''' | |||
Large-scale non-destructive scans are equally interesting for archeologists and xeno-archeologists, also those scans are requirements of any successful geoengineering and terraforming projects. Though, future applications of the Bioc are nearly limitless. | |||
