Octopus might inspired the artist... (Picture 1) |

The H.G Wells book "The war of the worlds" is introduced the "Martian war machine" what might inspire by the octopus. This thing bought in my mind the thoughts, that the term. "artificial organisms" doesn't actually mean anything small. In some scenarios, we will send the spacecraft to the asteroid belt, what has the shape of the giant octopus, and those devices can also work like the octopussies. Those spaceships can be equipped with the nuclear reactors and MDD-drive, what allows those spacecraft to fly between the planets.
There might be the very big manipulators behind the spacecraft, what will also work as the particle accelerator, when the spacecraft will send to the asteroid belt. That equipment can use as the ion-cannon, what will break the asteroid into the smaller pieces, and after this, the spacecraft would take the touch to those pieces of the asteroid, and then the spacecraft would bring those stones to the Earth orbiter. When we are talking about copying the nature to space- and other probes, the shape of the octopus will be working concept.

The manipulators can be equipped with plungers, what can touch also anti-magnetic surfaces. Those plungers have one limit. The use of sub-pressure systems needs the atmosphere because they worked with the tubes, what are connected to the compressors, what will cause the sub-pressure and those artificial octopuses can also work many other missions, in the deep sea and even airborne.
In the low-pressure air, those manipulators might also equip with the hydraulic teeth and small size cameras, what helps to control those devices. Those natural size artificial octopuses could be worked as the control of the artificial intelligence, and they might look like real octopuses, but they might have the extreme capacity to operate in all areas of the solar system. The use of extremely small nuclear reactors might make that kind of device possible for the missions of tomorrow.
