There was no need to wear a spacesuit, Li Zhengqiang just walked down, followed by many scientists from the empire. For this technology that is said to be able to look forward to thousands of years in the future, or to be precise, the application and planning of technology, the empire has invested almost all the funds, scientists, resources, etc. that can be allocated. Even the dedicated space factory that is being built is a temporary modification of the drawings of a half-built space factory.
A factory under construction cannot be quiet. The shoes with magnets are walking lightly on the space base. There is no up or down, just arrows and signboards.
In this rapidly developing and rising empire, there is no dazzling "welcome performance", only a young student comes to lead everyone to the workplace; it is so simple, because everyone has their own work and responsibilities; in the end The important thing is that after making a contribution, you can use these contribution points to exchange for status, such as a title; these contribution points are always passed down to your descendants, but they are not allowed to be bought or sold. There is a brilliant future and no one likes to be lazy!
Li Zhengqiang observed as he walked. The ground is all dark gray steel color - in order to prevent light pollution, etc., the steel here has been oxidized at high temperatures to become this color. But these are nothing. The most attractive thing is still the dark but bright starry sky. Outside the transparent high-strength glass cover, there is an endless starry sky.
Today's space factory construction technology has made continuous breakthroughs, and it is no longer the small pattern it once was. The current space factory, officially numbered No. 13, is designed as a flat continent, 1,700 meters long, 1,200 meters wide, and 300 meters thick. But on the surface, there are all densely packed semicircular glass cabins. This is a sightseeing platform and a resting place for personnel. Green plants grow freely here, including fruits, grass, flowers and trees.
Of course, the current factory is still under construction. Many places are just design drawings on the computer; it will take some time to turn them into beautiful modern factories.
The current glass cabin cover is about 50 meters high and 500 meters wide, which is just enough to put down a flying saucer relatively easily. There is relatively little greenery around. After all, this is the place where flying saucers take off and land, so it must be kept open. Therefore, there is only a green belt of about ten meters around the perimeter.
On the plane, a glass cabin is under construction in the distance. Pieces of special space-grade glass more than 20 meters long were easily picked up by a mecha with only the upper body. This mecha with a height of 20 meters put the glass in the appropriate position; after fixing it, it stretched out again Take out two robotic arms and start applying glue, adding screws, adding supports, etc.
Soon, Li Zhengqiang was dazzled. In just ten seconds, a piece of glass was installed. Then the mecha, which was only humanoid with its upper body, turned a corner flexibly, picked up the glass next to it and continued working. At this time, Li Zhengqiang saw clearly that there were wheels underneath; there were several large characters on the back of the mecha, each one meter square: Imperial Ordnance Industry Construction Number.
There are many such construction mechas, and they are the guarantee for the rapid construction of the Chinese Empire over the years. The mechas that Xiang Yundong led the research back then were not used in war, but were instead used in construction.
No machine can be more sensitive and reliable than human hands! Even the most advanced robots can only move under the control of established programs; even within the current empire. The most advanced machines still need to be inspected by both hands.
Therefore, the new mechanical concept, which is now the mecha concept: amplifying human abilities, became popular on Venus. Mecha technology and ideas are penetrating into every core of the empire. For example, right now, the cost of building such an ordinary construction mecha is actually very low, and the most expensive part may be the central computer. But over the years, the empire's electronic technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. The technologies that have been accumulated for forty years suddenly exploded, from energy materials to electronic software. Most of the technologies here are more than one generation more advanced than the current Earth.
The space factory slowly hovered in space, a ray of sunlight suddenly came, and in an instant the sun jumped out from the "horizon"; at the same time, the glass cabin cover that was almost completely transparent for observing the space became beautiful, as if The auroras are compressed together and overflow with colorful light. This is intercepted radiation and harmful light. The remaining light is filtered. Light that is beneficial to life can promote the growth of plants.
Walking to the edge of the glass cabin, a row of "holes" appeared, with straight up and down passages and criss-crossing elevators below. here. It is the passage for people to enter and exit. When Li Zhengqiang and others came in, a group of people happened to be going out.
This newly designed space factory is different from the previous ones. In order to make the tens of thousands of kilometers of super guide rails and brackets as precise as possible, it does not use rotating artificial gravity technology and just float quietly in space.
Such a design and working environment are of course impossible for humans to maintain for a long time, otherwise it will definitely lead to physical decline. Therefore, unless necessary, everyone here generally only has 28 days of working time in a Venus month. Of course, if the research is important or reaches a critical moment, you can continue, and the rewards will be generous - if you produce results, double the rewards! But for the sake of health and longevity, the Empire discourages such work. It can only be said that this is a somewhat contradictory measure. On the one hand, it is a generous reward, but on the other hand, it does not encourage strategies; however, as a new empire, there are too many shortcomings: he is only ten years old and cannot expect such So perfect.
The elevator, to be precise, should be an electric passage - because there is no gravity here. The elevator quickly traveled a thousand meters and sent Li Zhengqiang and his party to the research room.
The research room is over a hundred meters square - the length, width and height are almost a hundred meters. On the six walls, everyone wears special shoes, tools and magnetic instruments. Under the use of magnetism, these people and objects were firmly attached to the wall.
It's just that this kind of working environment makes Li Zhengqiang somewhat unable to adapt. In this weightless environment, people can move around freely. Imagine that in your room, there are people walking on all six cubes. If you look at yourself as a coordinate, some people are walking sideways on the vertical wall, and some people are hanging upside down. There are several soft cotton ropes hanging in the middle, and everyone can move gently along the ropes.
In this laboratory, three sides are actually transparent. Everyone works on the transparent glass and looks at the bright space when they are tired. This kind of life is really enjoyable - of course, only the scientists themselves know all the hardships.
But what surprised Li Zhengqiang even more was that just when they came in, the cotton rope in the center of the laboratory was removed and replaced by a 70-meter three-dimensional virtual model. The scientists were constantly correcting the data. This model is the expected guide rail technology - a device with a length of tens of thousands of kilometers that can directly launch space probes out of the solar system; it is called the railway technology of the space age. The expected design is a triangular carbon fiber bracket with a side length of ten kilometers and then continuously extending to tens of thousands of kilometers; in the middle are two electromagnetic guide rails that can be appropriately adjusted in caliber, which are tens of thousands of meters long. On the bracket, there are a large number of photovoltaic cells to provide energy for this super guide rail.
