"Although we are very reluctant to admit and accept it, we must also realize that when the earth and mankind face common dangers or a great future, a strong government has natural advantages and is even the best choice."
Musk did not give others a chance to refute him and continued: "I am inclined to Professor Ye Ming's point of view and believe that anarchy is the ultimate social form, but now, there must be a strong government that works for the future of mankind. It’s up to the government to drive this.”
He put down the document, crossed his fingers, frowned deeply, and looked at everyone: "Tesla's factories in the mainland have already taken on 80% of our global production capacity, but the efficiency is not the same as the other 2%. It’s almost the same. Currently, Tesla’s factory in Shanghai has fully automated the industrial chain, including assembly lines, including material procurement and proportioning—even logistics and transportation are handled by AI.”
"So, I fully believe that they can complete this project within a year - they only need to complete the technical design, and then AI can instantly arrange related production tasks."
"From the earth to space, we are really lagging too far behind." Musk said while looking at NASA Director Bowles: "They are even planning to build a business district on the moon!"
He very much hoped that Director Bowles would convey the correct information with him.
Director Bowles knew what Musk meant.
After a few seconds of silence, Director Powers let out a long sigh.
He is an old man who has personally experienced the Cold War and knows what it means to be ahead in space.
Now the opponent's lead in space has long been completely separated.
"In the field of space, the gap between us will indeed only get wider and wider." Director Bowles said, but immediately glanced at Musk: "But I don't agree with what you said about surrender."
Musk spread his hands.
General Mili rubbed his eyebrows and slowly closed his eyes.
Yes, surrender sounds awful.
Then admit defeat.
…
…
With the confirmation of the plan, the most powerful industrial country on the planet has demonstrated to the world its unparalleled productivity and the ability to support the integrated industrial chain.
In just two months, the components of eleven engines passed acceptance and entered the assembly stage. The hull of the spacecraft was started at several domestic shipyards working overtime at the same time.
It should be noted that with the support of Aita, even if domestic automated production has become "perfect", robots still cannot fully replace humans in the field of shipbuilding, especially ship hull building. All we can say is that Aita can help workers improve their productivity.
In addition to the spaceship, Ye Ming also personally redesigned the space membrane generation device, but this time he did not manufacture it in the basement, but directly initiated the project and served as the chief designer.
While the ground is busy, the sky is not idle either.
The South Pole of the moon has entered polar night, but the Zhengguanghan base is brightly lit. The lights from street lamps and buildings illuminate the entire base into true daylight.
Peng Xiaofei wore regular clothes, went downstairs from the living area, and then walked into the spacious passage.
Since the passage was not equipped with artificial gravity, after entering the passage, he switched to tiptoeing and jogging forward. The distance of eight hundred meters quickly disappeared, and he appeared in a six-story building that was built just a week ago.
The six-story building—or, temporarily, six-story building—is a "dedicated" test building for the agricultural research center.
In other words, the experimental "field".
"Hey, Mr. Peng, aren't you accompanying your wife?"
As soon as he walked in, Dr. Zhou Mingyu from the Agricultural University next door laughed and joked, and several young girls and boys nearby laughed at Peng Xiaofei.
Peng Xiaofei fell in love at Guanghan base...
Let's put it this way, although it does not explicitly prohibit astronauts from falling in love, the astronaut manual clearly states that emotional issues must be properly handled.
Moreover, during training in space, the training teacher will also remind everyone to restrain their emotions and impulses, because the scene in space is special, and it is easy to develop a special sense of dependence. If the relationship breaks down, it will be troublesome to end it.
So regarding Peng Xiaofei's love affair...the base leaders didn't know what to do, so they asked Xichang for instructions.
Fortunately, Director Zhang is very open-minded and says that as long as he doesn't mess around, there is no problem in falling in love... After all, this is not the space capsule of the past, but an extraterrestrial base.
Guanghan Base now has more than a hundred people, and at least half of them will stay there for more than a year. And with the expansion of the project in the future, there will only be more and more permanent "residents" here.
The final plan for the Guanghan base is 10,000 people.
There are so many people, you want everyone to be nuns and monks? It’s not scientific!
Besides, if you really block things like relationships, problems will arise.
"Brother Zhou, stop making trouble." Peng Xiaofei raised his hands in embarrassment: "Do you still want to work?"
"Yes! But you seem to be going back, right?" Zhou Mingyu is a doctoral student of President Ma of the Agricultural University. After layers of screening, their space planting plan of the Agricultural University stood out, and together with the team of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, they got the chance to fly on the moon. Opportunity to conduct soilless culture demonstrations.
In this building, they and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have three floors, where they grow wheat, rice, spinach, tomatoes, peppers and other grain and vegetable crops respectively.
The main building here is completed, and Peng Xiaofei's mission is basically completed. Logically speaking, he should return to the ground.
Peng Xiaofei came over today, mainly to check the automation equipment on the second floor.
"Oh, I won't go back, I will stay and fight with you."
"What the hell? Aren't you going home for the New Year?"
"If you don't come back, I will stay here from now on."
"..."
The two of them walked up to the second floor while chatting.
There are laboratories and offices on the first floor, and a large-scale planting factory starting from the second floor. A large number of professionally designed industrial robot arms are used here to complete automated operations. At a glance, the entire second floor is filled with dense shelves and various pallets. and lights.
After finding the faulty equipment, Peng Xiaofei quickly determined that it was a structural problem, so he squatted on the floor and called Aita to send him a spare part from the warehouse.
While waiting, Peng Xiaofei kept looking at the prompts on the screen. When he saw the ground-type remote control car jogging in the passage, he couldn't help but complain: "This thing is really slow to deliver something."
"Haha, indeed, it would be great if there were drones, but drones can't fly outside. They can only use the passage...and they are afraid of hitting people."
"Yes, the main channel is indeed not designed well."
Ye Ming's voice rang in his ears: "What's wrong with the design?"
Peng Xiaofei was startled and immediately touched the earphones: "Fuck, big brother! Can you say hello next time? It's going to scare people to death."
Ye Ming laughed: "Actually, I just came to see how the soilless cultivation was going here, and I heard you saying that the passage was not designed well - tell me, what's wrong?"
After a pause, Ye Ming seemed worried that Peng Xiaofei didn't understand what he meant. He added: "I'm really asking, after all, you are the ones using the facilities here."
"Well, the main reason is that transporting things is slow. If you want to pick up something, the round trip is two kilometers... And as the base gets bigger in the future, if the passages are still laid out like this, people will be killed walking to work. If you drive, the moon Not only the train is slow, but also having to change into a spacesuit is very inconvenient."
After a few seconds, Ye Ming hummed softly.
"It does seem a little thoughtless. I want to see if I can give you a horizontal elevator like the space city... um... similar to a closed tram."
Peng Xiaofei was startled, then overjoyed: "It would be great if it can really be done."
"Well, then you should pay more attention in the future to see if there is anything that needs to be improved - whether it is a moon base or a space city base, they will all need long-term residents in the future. If there are any design flaws, they will be ignored. Only after a long time can you realize it." Ye Ming paused as he said: "Also, are you sure you won't come back?"
"Yes, you won't reply, what's wrong?"
"Well... the company has decided to appoint you as the manager of the Moon Branch of Jizhi Technology."
Peng Xiaofei was stunned and immediately stood up: "What the hell?"
"Do you want to do it or not?"
"If you don't, it will be your grandson!" Peng Xiaofei took a deep breath: "Are we ready to engage in large-scale development of the moon? No... What am I, the lunar manager, doing?"
"That's what you said, the development of the moon."
In the channel, Ye Ming's voice sounded a little narrow when he laughed, but he soon became serious: "Guanghan Base and Space City will launch a business district and start an industrial model in the future."
