Moon, Sea of Storms, Moon Palace Base.
After more than half a year of crazy construction by two artificial intelligences, this place is completely different from the situation at the beginning of land reclamation.
The entire factory complex has been paved with steel plates, and roads paved with steel plates extend to various mining sites in the Prosperous Ocean region.
Various equipment has been set up at the mining site. With sufficient energy supply, after pieces of ore are ground into powder, each component is initially screened and stored, waiting for mining trucks to come and transport it to the smelter for further processing.
Pieces of solar panels rotate like sunflowers with the angle of the light, forming a "sea of flowers" in the Procellarum area.
There are five launch sites inside the entire base. From time to time, shuttle aircraft are launched one after another and arrive next to the dock in the sky. They stretch out their robotic hands and "raise and lower their hands" towards the dock. Occasionally, they are seen. Several square cargo warehouses will also be launched into the sky and grabbed by the robotic arms of the space engineering shuttle in the sky.
It is much easier to go to the moon than to the Blue Star. It is extremely difficult to build a space dock on the Blue Star, but it is much simpler to go to the moon. The thorium-based molten salt reactor provides sufficient power for the shipyards in the sky. The underground factory complex also transported various materials and "workers" to the sky from time to time. A space dock was built from scratch in more than half a year.
Of course, this was not accomplished by just two artificial intelligences. They were mainly responsible for physical labor. More than 100,000 technical workers and scientific researchers on the Blue Star ground made detailed plans for the construction of the entire Moon Palace Base.
That space dock was newly designed, and the project was only started half a year ago.
With such a group of "great country craftsmen"-level labor force who are not afraid of hardship and fatigue 24 hours a day, everyone is using their imagination to contribute to the construction of the Moon Palace Base.
During the construction process, everyone discovered that large-scale construction on the moon and large-scale construction on the blue star were completely different sets of technology trees.
If Blue Star's current industrial system is based on various composite materials, then the moon is based on the traditional metal alloy route, because the arable area of the moon is, well, zero for the time being.
It is not impossible to build a hydroponic farm, but it consumes too many resources due to harsh atmosphere, gravity, temperature and other environmental factors, so it is better to follow the traditional alloy material technology tree. You must know that titanium, iron, aluminum, rare earth elements and other metals on the moon There is no shortage at all.
If you want to light up the technology tree of composite materials, you have to wait for the productivity of the Moon Palace Base to reach a higher level.
The energy system of the entire base did not choose the magic stone system, which already has some power surplus in China, but chose photovoltaic power generation and atomic fission energy power generation.
Everyone thinks that the magic stone system can be used, but conventional energy cannot be left behind.
Demonic stone, which is supposed to be an energy source that can only be used by interstellar civilizations, is probably a level higher than nuclear fusion. China suddenly received this gift package from the sky, which helped its own development, but it cannot completely After all, China cannot rely on the magic stone forever, and it will be used up one day.
Therefore, conventional energy technologies have not been left behind in recent years, such as the thorium-based molten salt reactor at Yuegong Base, as well as geothermal power generation, photovoltaics, carbon dioxide supercritical fluid power generation, coal magnetic fluid power generation, and hydrogen energy power generation.
None of these have been missed, and everyone is even excited to prepare a few more fusion ignition devices for experiments on the moon.
Anyway, even if something happened, it would still be on the moon, and there would be no way to blow up the Blue Star. Afterwards, the Legion and Gongshuzi would clean it up and it would be over. The progress of this kind of unscrupulous experiment would be much faster than on the Blue Star.
boom--
Three kilometers away from the base, a huge firework soared into the sky. After receiving the relevant data as usual, Legion and Gongshuzi sent a team to clean it up. This was an explosion in a metallic hydrogen laboratory.
Not only nuclear fusion, but also high-energy batteries, hydrogen energy storage experiments, Tesla wireless energy transmission and other dangerous experiments will be carried out on the moon. The progress of related experiments will be greatly accelerated. After all, you have to worry about this and that when doing experiments on Blue Star. An experiment cycle is very long.
But on the moon, there are no such concerns. The relevant experimental equipment corps and public transportation companies are manufacturing it 24 hours a day. After the laboratory explosion, it does not take half a day to build a new one and start the next experiment.
This kind of speed has never been comparable before. After all, the purpose of conducting experiments is to collect data. Only when there is more data can we start to calculate the relevant function curves behind it, and finally summarize the relevant rules and apply them to actual production.
Chen Yi had not expected the impact that alien development would have on accelerating the development of the industrial system. At this rate, he estimated that it would not take twenty years for nuclear fusion to be successfully ignited and applied on a large scale.
However, for the time being, China will not consider large-scale alien immigration. It is not that it is impossible to send a large number of people to aliens, but the side effects of various abnormal alien environments on the human body make everyone shy away from this.
The ability to send people to alien planets and the ability of humans to survive normally on alien planets are two different things. Just one gravity problem will make everyone bald, not to mention the vastly different atmospheric components and possible microbial structures that are different from those of Blue Stars. virus, it would be nonsense if we don’t solve these problems of alien immigration.
Therefore, no one will consider the issue of alien immigration before the emergence of related technologies for human genetic modification without side effects.
The living space of Blue Star is getting larger and larger with the development of technology. If other players of Blue Star are willing to let Rabbit help them construct underground space projects, the number of people that Blue Star can carry will double.
Therefore, in the short term, rabbits do not need to worry about expanding their living space. During this period, they can concentrate on technological advancement and population expansion. After the technology for human genetic modification without side effects is discovered, they can consider large-scale alien immigration.
Recently, Rabbit is considering launching a big toy to Mars again.
. . .
On July 16, 2000, Rabbit announced the construction of China's first space station, Tiangong, and the Mars landing exploration project was carried out simultaneously.
The next day, thirty-two large aircraft suddenly flew out of the moon, sixteen of which rushed to Mars, and sixteen more to Blue Star.
The melon-eating crowd around the world suddenly stood up in admiration, but other players looked messy in the wind.
Now you don’t need to launch from Blue Star when building a space station?
Everyone watched in horror as the sixteen large aircraft stayed on the 420-kilometer orbit.
Everyone just watched as robots with their legs and heads removed flew out of these sixteen aircraft of different shapes and began their performance.
After more than 2,000 technical workers on the ground went through a series of rigorous training, they lay down in a spherical cabin and began to remotely control these robots. They were the first batch of space construction workers in China, and they were also the ones who were preparing to begin the comprehensive promotion of holographic AR technology. precursor.
As time passes day by day, on average, there are twelve aerospace aircraft with a load of 300 tons on the moon transporting various construction materials to the Tiangong construction site every day.
Half a month later, the prototype of the Tiangong was displayed in front of everyone. It really looked like a palace floating in the air. The Tiangong did not rely on solar power. All energy supply systems were completely powered by thorium-based molten salt reactors.
Two months later, the Heavenly Palace with a total weight of 220,000 tons was finally completed. A palace located 420 kilometers above the ground floated quietly in the sky for everyone in Blue Star to look up.
