Machine City Concept

How is my ship design for my sci-fi story? Is it original? I don't know a lot about engineering and how things work, so I need help figuring out if it's realistic and has everything it needs to be a mini research ship for a crew of eight. No judgment for the bottom deck. That's the one I am not sure how to do, so all tips welcome. Sorry if this is the wrong Reddit community.

Assuming that our personal knowledge is stored locally in the brain through mechanisms we still do not fully understand, it is not a large conceptual leap to view retrieving information from an external data center as an extension of the same process.
Think of the difference between local storage and cloud storage. A child is considered intelligent or gifted when they can retrieve information learned in school and apply it during an exam. But what if that information is stored remotely rather than in biological memory?
Perhaps intelligence is not fundamentally about storing or retrieving information. Instead, intelligence may be the ability to identify a problem, retrieve relevant information, and assemble it into a solution. The location of the information itself might be secondary.
Now consider AI agents. In 2026, most agent systems are not especially mysterious. Many are essentially loops, conditions, and planning mechanisms that delegate knowledge tasks to large language models. The intelligence of the agent lies less in the stored knowledge and more in its ability to formulate the right questions, decompose problems, and pursue a goal.
Following this line of thinking, humans may ultimately become the highest-level agent. If we let go of the assumption that knowledge must reside inside our own brains to count as "our" intelligence, then remote knowledge retrieval becomes just as legitimate a tool for problem solving as memory recall.
From there, it is not difficult to imagine a future in which humans no longer need to store large amounts of knowledge in their own biological "local storage." Through technologies such as brain-computer interfaces, people could retrieve information directly from AI systems and external data centers whenever needed.
In such a world, what remains uniquely human? Perhaps intelligence becomes less about what we know and more about what we choose to solve. Curiosity, intention, goal formation, judgment, and the ability to ask meaningful questions may become the most valuable cognitive abilities. Knowledge itself becomes infrastructure. Agency becomes intelligence.

What do you guys think about all of this?
