Chapter 1351: Distant Planet Colony System (1/3)

Chapter 1351 Far Planet Colonial System (13)

Jinling Aerospace Assembly Center.

This high-tech factory covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres. It collects and distributes the parts of the most advanced aerospace equipment in China. The Xinghai No. 1 quantum computer provides cloud information services. A series of automated equipment such as drones have realized completely unmanned standardized production.

This place is like a melting pot, melting and casting the dreams of all citizens of the Republic for the universe.

Standing in awe by the high wall of this behemoth, Director Chang Hezhi, one of the persons in charge of the Ascension Project, together with Academician Yuan Huanmin and other senior engineers and executives of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, stood here quietly waiting wearing something.

After about ten minutes or so.

Finally, a black car, escorted by several military vehicles, drove into the park very low-key, and stopped at the gate of the factory on the hour.

As the car door opened, an old man with a dignified face and a young man got out of the car almost at the same time.

Needless to say, the identity of that old man is no stranger to any Chinese.

The same goes for the young man.

Not to mention that he is from Huaguo, his academic achievements that do not match his age have already conquered the international academic circle, but anyone who has followed news related to the scientific world can subconsciously call out his name after seeing him. name--

Or, at least they will know the name "Professor Lu".

Noticing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, the old man smiled kindly and said.

"Don't be so serious, I'm just here to take a look... That colony cabin is in this factory building?"

Noticing that the old man looked towards him, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

"The assembly has been completed, please come inside."

"Academician Lu first please!"

After being polite, a group of people walked into this factory building located in the center of the aerospace assembly center.

Looking around at the high-tech automation equipment full of metal texture, the old man said with emotion.

"I have seen many factories all over the country, but here is the only place where I saw it once and was shocked once."

The logistics vehicles are like ants in an endless stream, and the interaction with a series of mechanical equipment such as robotic arms and conveyor belts is so smooth that there is no slightest pause.

The entire factory is like a whole, and every gear here is operating under the coordination of AI. It may not be running at the fastest speed, but every millimeter is so just right.

as if...

Even the movement trajectory is carefully designed.

"This is the latest industrial cloud service technology developed by our group. In addition to the aerospace assembly center, this system has been put into use in the logistics centers of first-tier cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai. There are also Jinling High-tech Park and Shanghai Some manufacturing companies in Shanglinggang Industrial Park. According to the feedback from our customers, the standardized accessories manufactured through automation technology have won wide acclaim in the international market!"

Seeing the shocked expression on the old man's face, Lu Zhou thought for a moment before continuing.

"The application of AI and industrial automation are the general trend. With breakthroughs in quantum chips and computer technology, we are now barely ahead of the world. In the future, there will be more and more unmanned factories, and the population will grow from low-end industries to Migration to high-end industries will bring about a series of social problems, including job mobility, extended education time, etc., and these are all things we must consider.”

"Employment rate is indeed a problem," the old man nodded thoughtfully, "It is unrealistic to hinder the development of technology. When the technology is mature enough, this kind of automation technology will migrate down from high-end industries sooner or later... What do you want to express do you mean this?"

Lu Zhou: "Basically correct."

"Is there any good solution?"

"Social welfare, increasing public expenditure, and developing the tertiary industry... are all good solutions. I believe that scholars from the Academy of Social Sciences must be more professional in research on these issues than I am."

"Social welfare is still a bit difficult," the old man frowned, thinking, "Our situation is still somewhat different from other countries. First of all, population is a big problem."

"In the short term, it's a problem," Lu Zhou nodded, "but I believe that as long as the productivity is sufficiently developed, let alone 1.4 billion people, even if the population doubles, it will be able to maintain the expenditure of a high-welfare society. "

A thoughtful expression appeared on the old man's face, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the secretary who was following him.

"Have you written it down?"

The secretary nodded and closed the shorthand notebook in his hand.

"Write it down."

"very good."

Nodding, the old man looked at Lu Zhou and said with a smile.

"I will hold a meeting to study this matter after I go back. Let's take a look at the colony capsule that is going to be sent to Mars first."

Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"Just ahead, we've arrived!"

Passing through an alloy door, in an empty factory building, everyone saw a silver-white spacecraft in the shape of an ostrich egg covered by a steel support.

The space covered by this spacecraft is about half the size of a basketball court. Just by looking at it like this, it is really difficult to connect it with the spacecraft.

In comparison, it looks more like a space station.

When seeing this device for the first time, almost everyone was shocked by its huge size.

Especially academician Yuan Huanmin and other engineers from Hangke Group.

Compared with other laymen who "have an eye addiction and watch the excitement", they are more aware of how difficult it is to send this thing to the sky.

After staring dumbfoundedly at the spacecraft that was said to be the colony module for a long time, Academician Yuan Huanmin finally couldn't help asking.

"This thing...how are you going to send it to Mars?"

This question has been asked in the minds of many people.

Almost everyone, including Director Chang Hezhi, who is in charge of the fire landing plan, and the elder who is named as the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, looked at Lu Zhou because of this problem.

Facing the eyes of everyone asking, Lu Zhou smiled slightly and explained.

"It is not difficult to send it to Mars. As long as it is sent to the synchronous orbit first, whether it is Xiaguang or Queqiao, it can be taken to Mars."

"Of course, this time we don't need to trouble Xiaguang and Queqiao. Our design institute took into account the particularity of this set of equipment when designing the colony cabin, and designed a separate flight system for it."

"Including the colony module as the core component, the entire flight system contains more than a dozen different functional components, which together form a colony ship capable of traveling to distant planets. We will launch these components into synchronous orbits in batches , and complete the assembly there!"

A separate flight system? !

Shocked by the amount of information contained in this sentence, Yuan Huanmin said in a daze.

"... Colonization, colonial ship?"

"That's right," Lu Zhou nodded, looking at the stunned academician Yuan Huanmin, "it's not an isolated entity, but forms a whole together with other components."

"Therefore, in theory, it is not only applicable to Mars, nor can it be viewed as an artificial biosphere alone, but a relatively complete set of remote planetary colonization systems designed by our researchers for extraterrestrial colonization activities."

"If conditions permit, it is applicable even in more distant worlds!"
