Take the cable car back to Xincheng from Hongshi Factory.
The business of the cable car is not very good now. On the one hand, the air transportation price of magic energy is low enough, and on the other hand, the cable car itself has had several accidents. Although the cable was not broken, several accidents left people and goods stuck in the middle for most of the day, which somewhat dissuaded some customers.
The real problem is that the distance between floating islands is increasing and accelerating again. The risk of the cable car is getting higher and higher. This cableway system may not last long.
Air transportation is limited by the size, load, and fixation of the vehicle. It is difficult to transport large precision equipment. At least the existing wooden people and bulls are not good at it.
Therefore, after the cable car is retired, a new port transportation method between floating islands will be introduced.
Just in the past few months, newspapers have reported on many cross-island transportation plans.
For example, from Fenggu to Pangxun plate.
The port's movement of people mainly relies on flying cars, while freight is of all kinds.
Pang Xun has a light truck factory that is authorized to use spare parts to assemble Xincheng Automobile Factory's heavy truck heads. However, due to inferior craftsmanship and various non-engine failures, there are still some picky customers who want to introduce original heavy trucks.
After the magic gem technology was loosened, Mitan City also hoped to develop a solution for transporting refined oil across floating islands that was more stable than air transportation. The two parties hit it off immediately, with Mitan City as the main investor and local Pang Xun as the agent, and they worked out a set of magic Transportation plan.
This plan is just some magic clamps. The clamping method is completely copied from the Xincheng to Red Stone Ropeway system, but with an extra magic module that can provide lift.
It was very difficult to use in the early days. A magician was required to cast spells on site to ensure smooth transportation. It was not until the latest version that the magnitude and direction of the force of multiple clamps could be synchronized. However, a magician was still required to keep an eye on both ends to prevent damage caused by sudden strong winds. Flight deviation.
There is also a freight type that was entrusted by several local companies in Pangxun to the Feathered Serpent Factory. Wang Qi feels that this system is more suitable to replace the ropeway.
This version of the Feathered Serpent Factory is very simple. It is a flat panel with a total length of 15 meters and a width of 3.5 meters. All the magic modules are underneath to keep the panel flat. The operation method is similar to driving a car, and the cab is also under the flat panel.
Both options can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of the clamping solution is that it does not require special infrastructure. It can be used as a site to start construction once the land is compacted. The disadvantage is that the only standard container system that can be clamped from above in the logistics system requires a non-standard container container at the front of the heavy truck for transportation. .
The adaptability of the flatbed transportation method is better. It can be transported in a single container or with a semi-trailer frame. However, it requires higher infrastructure and requires a special site to make the flatbed and the logistics area flush.
If the official end is definitely the latter, there is no need to make everything government-run. It is enough for the people to figure out things that already have private solutions. The official is only responsible for setting some specific standards.
For example, the lock of a container has four keyholes or positioning holes on the top and bottom. Different locks are required according to different situations, such as automatic locks, limit locks, and hoisting locks. These locks follow the principle that the fewer parts, the higher the reliability. Most of the existing locks are single-piece castings. For 20-ton standard container locks, the lock will not break if a hundred tons of metal ingots are actually stuffed inside. The first thing to break must be the container itself.
The official standard is to clarify the shape, size, allowed production process, etc. of these adapters to ensure that any processing factory can adapt to the entire logistics system and be reliable enough.
After getting off the cable car, I stopped by the institute.
The research institute has come to a unified understanding and decided to designate the new campus in Nanzhen as the main institute, and move the manufacturing bureau there as well, taking the opportunity to update a complete set of production equipment.
Wang Qi already knew about this before he came, and he came specifically to see the project that Chief Academician Caroline was promoting.
Caroline, who already has five rings, now has two very shallow crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but her eyes are brighter than they were years ago and she looks confident.
"Your Majesty, our storage system has completed preliminary verification. There are some disputes about the direction of mass production. Please help us take a look."
Caroline wasn't staring at the latest in atomic theory;
It is set out to solve the biggest bottleneck faced by the institute - document storage and retrieval.
Academicians can be said to be the group that has the highest admiration for Wang Qi. Night Clan and Sharp Blade are influenced by Solaris. In the early days, academicians were motivated by the change of status, but now they are purely motivated by knowledge. The more they learn, the easier it is to realize that the knowledge Li Xiang taught them is a core system accumulated by the world across the ages.
Starting from these core areas, facing increasingly more subdivided disciplines, if the bottleneck of document storage and retrieval cannot be solved, it is almost impossible to continue to promote and improve sub-disciplines.
[In view of the general environment,
As far as the institute itself is concerned, after decades of accumulation, every time a new group is opened now, it has to wait in the file for several months. The specific manifestation is that the number of scientific researchers in the current institute has increased several times compared with the early days. The real There are fewer and fewer achievements that are different from the outside world.
In order to solve the bottleneck of scientific research, after the application of the Caroline-Lava formula, the chief academician began to study a magic-based file management system.
Wang Qi had seen the matter in the annual report a few years ago, but he didn't interfere.
Wang Qi agreed to make decisions for them without coming up, so he decided to take a look at the prototype first.
Caroline showed them several stages of samples.
The function of the early sample was very simple, equivalent to an "Image Crystal" card reader player. This thing has a row of 10 slots. When full, you can use modular accessories to add another row, and just fill in the numbers directly when reading.
"Its scalability is not very good. If you want to store 10 million archives, the space in a workshop may not be enough."
Ten million copies may seem like a lot, but when calculated in detail, it only amounts to the amount of texts and drawings produced by Blue Sky Heavy Industry in several years, plus the number of drafts.
Therefore, in the second generation of experiments, Caroline’s team focused on solving the problem of “storage” space.
The way magic stores information has nothing to do with electronic storage. It can be regarded as biologicalizing matter, somewhat similar to those natural rock puppets.
During the development of the second generation, Caroline's team implemented "memory transcription" and successfully packaged hundreds of files into a module that could be read separately.
"Its stability is not good enough. We compared the file changes over a month with drawings and found that some information would change."
Caroline then explained the team's speculation that the transcribed information was missing.
A normal imaging crystal records the changes of a copper block for 24 hours and then completely chemically dissolves it. A very small amount of copper ions can be detected. It is speculated that this recording method should record the material information of the scene and even be stolen in some way. Particles of matter at the scene.
However, the transcription process mainly records the magical images recorded by the photo crystal. Perhaps it lacks a material basis, making it difficult to maintain stability for a long time.
The specific answer to the puzzle cannot be seen until further development of basic research, and is not the subject of discussion now.
Then in the current generation, it almost started from scratch, planning the two underlying systems of fonts and graphics, and redid the shooting and storage methods of "Image Crystal" to adapt to the new mechanism.
Maybe they really reached the same goal through different paths. The progress was repeated several times, and the version finally presented to Wang Qi used magnetic recording to complete the file solidification, similar to the method of mechanical hard disk. The difference is that the magnetic recording achieved by magic is still a bit rough, and the ratio of data volume to weight is very low. However, I believe this problem can be improved through subsequent in-depth research and process improvements.
"This version has a strong memory. The 5.5-kilogram module can store 8 million words or corresponding charts."
5.5 kilograms, 8 million words, may not be intuitive enough. If converted, it is probably a little more than three times the recorded volume of size 4 characters printed on both sides of the paper. In fact, the information density of Weibo is much higher than it, let alone An image crystal that can record "video".
5.5 kilograms is the weight of the memory department, excluding the transcription module and retrieval projection module.
Wang Qi did not dislike it and was very happy. Its biggest advantage compared to the image crystal is that it can concentrate
For retrieval, you don’t need to look through the crystal’s note tags one by one, which is a great improvement in time efficiency.
"You're doing a great job. Are there any difficulties in mass production?"
