At a glance, Sanmen Base has begun to take shape.
A central beam channel generator with a diameter of 500 meters is being installed, surrounded by the aerospace building, as well as the apron and runway.
It extends far away.
On the surface, Sanmen Base is actually a huge airport with a beam channel with a diameter of 500 meters as the center.
This airport is also circular, with a diameter of sixty kilometers.
The reason why it has such an area is that for a long time to come, Sanmen Base will be the main gateway into space.
Whether it is the materials for the comprehensive development of the moon, or the materials for landing on Mars, building a permanent base on Mars, or even the launch of various probes, etc.
Most will enter space from Sanmen Base.
Of course, this is only one of the main functions of the Sanmen Base and the space portal.
There are also energy portals and high energy physics portals.
Also centered on the beam generator, the radius is 100 meters underground with a radius of 25 kilometers.
It has the world's most powerful super hadron collider.
Relative to what is being designed, the hadron collider with a diameter of one thousand kilometers is incomparable.
But no matter what, as long as the hadron collider in space is not completed, the hadron collider in Tamu Gobi will be the most powerful.
This is the portal to high-energy physics in the three-door program.
Finally, there is the energy portal.
The beam generator at the center of Sanmen Base not only generates a beam channel, but also receives the light energy transmitted by the light column project through the beam channel.
Underground at Sanmen Base, there are a large number of super batteries.
The reason why there are so many super batteries is to regulate light energy, that is, the stability of energy supply.
Solar energy collection stations close to the sun collect solar energy and convert it into light of specific wavelengths.
This light is transmitted through one or more light energy transmission stations to a spaceport in geosynchronous orbit.
The spaceport then modulates the transmitted light energy and transmits it through a beam channel to a beam channel generator on the ground with a diameter of 500 meters.
The beam channel generator transmits the collected light energy to the Super Hadron Collider through a high-power light energy transmission cable.
And transmit light energy outside the Sanmen Base for use throughout Tamu Gobi.
According to the design requirements, the full-power Tamu Gobi can be used only through the energy provided by the three-door base.
Now, after the completion of the Three-Gate Plan, there will be excess energy to be supplied outside Tamu Gobi.
According to the previous plan, 500 energy collection stations of the same level as the Sanmen Plan were to be built around the world.
In this way, high-quality and cheap energy can be provided to people all over the world.
But given the policy changes.
The plan became to build three hundred such energy collection stations in the country to meet the domestic energy demand.
Part of the energy will be provided to the outside world through high-power optical energy transmission cables on the ground.
Currently, the construction of 300 energy collection stations and the laying of high-power optical energy transmission cables across the country are underway.
According to the plan, it will be fully completed in two years.
At this time, everyone in the country can use the energy provided by the light beam project.
The reason why it takes two years is because of the lack of people.
If there is no shortage of people and we just start working, it will probably be completed in less than a year.
But it’s impossible to just leave it alone, because there are more projects going on, and they are all important.
Such as comprehensive development of the moon, landing on Mars to develop Mars, etc.
On the flying car above Sanmen Base, Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Looking at the progress, it will be completed in another ten days."
"Absolutely!" Su Zhe nodded.
"You two! Let's go down and take a look. It's a little cold after staying at such a high position for a long time." Zuo Dajun said tremblingly.
"Who told you to open the car window when you have nothing to wear?" Fan Xiaoming complained.
The flying car slowly lowered its height and stopped smoothly outside the beam generator.
As soon as it stopped, Fan Xiaoming's assistants Ma Ping and Wang Dong came over.
The two took Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming to visit the beam generator being installed.
According to the introduction of the two assistants, the Super Hadron Collider has completed testing and will be ready for use when the beam channel generator is completed.
The beam channel generator will be delivered in another half month, that is, on August 28th.
"Half a month! Calculating the time, the space part of the three-door plan can be fully completed." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile, "In this way, the entire three-door plan can be completed a few days ahead of schedule, which is good news."
Following the two assistants, the group arrived at the Aerospace Building one kilometer away from the beam channel.
Sanmen Base is a huge area with many large and small aerospace buildings, and the one the group came to is the main aerospace building of Sanmen Base.
It is also the tallest and largest aerospace building.
Generally speaking, the aerospace building is an enlarged version of the aviation building of the test airport. The structure is similar, but it is larger and has more complete functions.
Like one floor, twenty meters high. The area is 30,000 square meters, and its main function is a parking place for armored space suits and humanoid robots.
The second floor is fifteen meters, with living functional areas and so on.
Three floors and ten meters long, it controls the entire Sanmen base and monitors almost all civilian aircraft in space.
At this time, the control hall on the third floor of the Aerospace Main Building.
Zuo Dajun looked at the surveillance picture displayed on the big screen and said with a smile: "The beam channel between the ground and the geosynchronous orbit is really busy now. There are constantly flying saucers flying over, as well as the facilities and personnel in the geosynchronous orbit. , can all be seen clearly.”
Currently, the monitoring range is one million kilometers centered on the earth.
As long as it is within this range, to put it exaggeratedly, you can find a mosquito if you are willing.
With the expansion of the ss-defense system, this range will become larger and larger.
"It's abnormal if you can't see clearly." Fan Xiaoming said and asked the staff to enlarge the picture of the solar energy collection station and light energy transmission station being assembled in the synchronous orbit.
In the picture, there are a large number of humanoid robots wearing armored space suits and remotely controlled.
These people are busy around the half-assembled solar energy collection station and light energy transmission station.
"With the current trend, remote-controlled humanoid bionic robots will become the mainstream of manufacturing." Zuo Dajun said with a smile.
At present, the technology of remote control humanoid bionic robots is quite mature.
Except for some extremely detailed work, everything else can be completed.
The most important thing is that remote control of humanoid bionic robots has advantages that real people do not have, that is, three emergencies and other problems.
Real people have three urgent needs and need a life support system, while remote control of humanoid bionic robots only requires energy.
"I guess so!" Su Zhe nodded and said, "However, these humanoid bionic robots need to be controlled remotely by real people. The distance between the two cannot exceed 600,000 kilometers. Beyond this distance, the control will not be so good. This is also This means that when the solar system is developed, a large number of people will leave the earth and enter space, which will require a similar number of space suits, so you don’t have to worry that the space suits you create will be abandoned.”
For now, remote-controlled humanoid robots and the humans controlling them cannot be too far apart.
The ideal distance is no more than 600,000 kilometers.
It has great advantages for comprehensive development of the moon.
That is, the moon is only more than 300,000 kilometers away from the earth, and people can directly control humanoid bionic robots on the moon from the earth.
But it won't work any further.
Take Mars as an example. At its closest point, it was 55 million kilometers away.
It is unrealistic for humans to control humanoid robots on Mars from Earth.
To control a humanoid robot on Mars, that person would have to go near Mars.
The same goes for developing the rest of the solar system.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of instantaneous information transmission technology.
Once this science-fiction technology is realized, humans will be able to control humanoid bionic robots into deep space.
Unfortunately, such technology is difficult to implement.
Right now, slightly to the side is quantum entanglement.
Perhaps quantum entanglement is a breakthrough in instantaneous information transmission.
"Yes! Yes!" Zuo Dajun smiled, "Originally, we planned to build a remote-controlled robot, but we didn't expect that people from the School of Computer Science would beat us to it."
While they were focusing all their energy on space suits, the guys from the School of Computer Science secretly came up with a humanoid bionic robot and a game cabin.
By the time he knew it, it was already too late.
"Don't worry about being robbed. I heard that your scientific research team created a real mecha. Is that true?" Fan Xiaoming asked.
This is not something I heard, I saw it from the work report submitted by the scientific research team led by Zuo Dajun.
Not to mention, there are quite a lot of types of mechas manufactured, and every detail has been taken into consideration.
"Yes! A lot of finished products have been made." Zuo Dajun said.
"Then let's stop inking here and look at the armored space suit automation factory while going to see the mecha." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
After leaving the aerospace building, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Zuo Dajun took a flying car to the armored space suit automation factory 300 kilometers away.
The three first visited the armored space suit automation factory.
From the delivery of parts to the rolling off of qualified armored space suits, the entire process takes three hours.
And the factory is highly automated, with the automation rate reaching 95%, and the remaining 5% being equipment controlled remotely by personnel.
Even so, this armored spacesuit automated factory is still being optimized.
Participating in the optimization is a scientific research team of 300 people.
Among these three hundred people, one hundred are full-time scientific researchers, one hundred are teachers and students of Lingzhou University of Technology, and the last one hundred are teachers and students of other universities and research institutes.
This is not just the armored space suit automated factory, most of the factories in Tamu Gobi have such a structure.
"I read in the report that such an automated factory can produce three thousand sets of armor-type space suits a day, which is a pretty good output." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
】
"Three thousand sets a day was the data half a month ago. After research and upgrades by the scientific research team, the automated factory can now produce five thousand sets a day." Zuo Dajun said with a smile.
"Five thousand sets! Not bad, not bad!" Su Zhe said with a smile.
The armored space suit automated factory in Tamu Gobi is not the main purpose of producing armored space suits. Its main purpose is to research and upgrade.
You know, the demand for armored space suits is measured in billions.
It mainly relies on automated factories for armored space suits built elsewhere in the country.
The same is true for others such as game cabin manufacturing factories, humanoid bionic robot manufacturing factories, flying saucer manufacturing factories, simplified heavy photon aerospace engine manufacturing factories, etc.
The three people turned around and left the armored space suit automation factory, arriving at a factory building with a clear height of fifty meters and an area of 50,000 square meters.
There are many mechas of different shapes in the factory.
The tallest one is more than thirty meters, and the shortest one is three meters.
Humanoid, animalistic, etc.
And many of the semi-finished mechas were surrounded by people.
These people were discussing passionately.
Some people are not discussing, but arguing.
After Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Zuo Dajun appeared, everyone greeted them enthusiastically.
The three of them came to a thirty-meter-tall mecha.
Fan Xiaoming looked at Zuo Dajun who was a little excited and said, "Isn't your scientific research team only a little over a thousand people strong? Looking at the scene, there are more than five thousand people in a casual calculation."
This was the first time for him and Su Zhe to come to this factory. They had only seen photos before.
Not to mention, seeing so many mechas is quite shocking.
"There are now more than 8,000 people in the factory." Zuo Dajun explained, "The scientific research team I lead does have only 1,000 people. The other staff are peripheral personnel, including teachers and students from the school, as well as people from other universities and research institutes. teacher and student."
Don't look at the core members of the scientific research team, that is, there are only more than a thousand full-time personnel.
But there are too many peripheral personnel.
Some schools have 3,000 peripheral personnel, and other universities and research institutes have 300,000 peripheral personnel.
And this number is still increasing.
Of course, the requirements for these peripheral personnel are not high, and their main purpose is to learn.
There are only minimal subsidies for those on the periphery who participate.
Although each peripheral person does not play a big role, there are many of them! The cumulative effect is also very scary.
For example, when encountering a problem, each person has an idea and a suggestion, and a solution to the problem can be quickly discussed.
If this were not the case, the armored space suit would not have achieved results so quickly, nor would there have been so many mechas.
This model is not only the scientific research team he leads, but almost all the scientific research teams in schools and research centers are like this.
With the full-time staff of the scientific research team as the core, teachers and students from the school and other universities and research institutes are the peripheral personnel.
Of course, many peripheral personnel and peripheral personnel overlap.
For example, a student can be a peripheral person studying mechas and also a peripheral person studying robots.
In his opinion, this combination is very reasonable.
It not only improves the efficiency of scientific research, but also cultivates latecomers.
