That's how computing power was used.

Of course, Tim Cook didn't just notice the mecha in front of him, and ignored the superficial meaning of Wang Yufei's words.

Since the mecha is named the Lunar Project Mecha, which means that this mecha is designed for future construction on the moon, this can only be regarded as a second-level project. The most important project of the laboratory should be how to send such a large mecha and people to the moon in batches, otherwise why give it such a name?

"So you're spending most of your computing power on how to land on the moon quickly?"

"That's right!" Wang Yufei immediately smiled, it was comfortable to deal with smart people, and he didn't need to explain too much.

"According to Ash's overall calculation, we designed several plans, but from the perspective of safety, savings, etc., we finally decided on a plan and are working hard for this plan. Of course, if this solution is ultimately successful, we need more computing power. Wang Yufei explained.

"What's the plan?"

"You can choose to take a look at the mechs first, and then we'll move on to the next lab. Wang Yufei did not answer directly, but sold a pass.

There is not necessarily a desire to show off.

In fact, such a grand plan, for various reasons, has not been made public, and it can only be buried silently in the bottom of my heart.

Especially now that most of these underground laboratories are operated automatically by various machines under the control of Ash, except that only a few people have signed a confidentiality agreement to do some auxiliary scientific research work in the base, including Martin Johannes and Jackson after moving out of the underground laboratory, they don't know what new things are being researched here.

Tim Cook can be said to be the first foreigner to visit this magical laboratory, so even Wang Yufei can't be completely exempt.

I have to let these guys know how strong Yuxin Technology is now.

Tim Cook glanced at Wang Yufei with a complicated expression, and then nodded.

How could he not be curious about this miraculous idea and result?

It would be great to see it up close.

Wang Yufei walked to the door of the laboratory, the camera on the top adjusted the angle slightly, and after scanning Wang Yufei's face, the access control changed from a red light to a green light, and then the glass door opened automatically.

Tim Cook followed Wang Yufei into the laboratory and stood in front of the giant mecha.

Standing at a distance of more than 10 meters and standing in front of you are completely two different feelings.

The silver fuselage that exudes a metallic luster, coupled with the tall figure, in addition to bringing visual shock, there is also a strong sense of oppression, especially when looking up at the mecha head, this feeling has reached its peak.

Tim Cook tried hard to suppress the urge to get closer and pet the steel monster.

"A top entrepreneur's vision should never be limited to this era, but should look further. We should not limit our vision to this small earth, we should look up at the sky. Wang Yufei said naturally, then picked up a remote control and pressed a button on the robot.

The next moment, the two eyes embedded in the middle of the huge machine's head suddenly lit up.

"The eyes and forehead of the mecha are laser and radar, which are mainly used for engineering detection. It has six concealed arms......"

As Wang Yufei introduced, the mecha moved, opening six openings from both sides of its body, and six arms slowly stretched out.

"These six arms can be used to install almost all the tools used in the project, and of course there is a standardized interface for these tools. From hammers to screwdrivers, welding guns and more. In the lunar environment, its maximum payload reaches two hundred and eighty tons. We also designed an automatic toolkit that can be worn on the shoulder, doubling its working range. ”

"In addition, according to our calculations, in the lunar environment, it can reach a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, equipped with our high-energy solid-state battery, in the case of full charge, the body can work continuously for seven days with high intensity, note that it is continuous work, because it does not need to rest. There are two types of control: manual remote control and driving control. In general, the driving control can be more precise, but the manual remote control is suitable for the early modification of the lunar base. ”

......

Wang Yufei talked to Tim Cook endlessly about the data and indicators of this DYGC001, of course, these are not secret data, even if Tim Cook is a super genius who can never forget his ears, it is impossible to design this kind of engineering mecha with these data alone.

As he just introduced, the design drawings of this mecha consume a lot of quantum computing power, and there are more than one million final design drawings alone, even Wang Yufei can't copy such a mecha in a period of time, let alone others.

This is completely stacked with quantum computing power.

No company in the world can get that much quantum power in a short period of time. Even if you have so much quantum computing power, most of it will be rented to Yuxin Technology for free.

So in a sense, those big technology companies in the West, including Apple, have actually contributed a lot of their own strength to the birth of this mecha, if it weren't for their huge investment in the introduction of quantum computing technology, and will provide those free computing power for Yuxin Technology, Xiaozhi will naturally not be able to complete his own work, but also carry out these effective calculations.

Of course, Wang Yufei will definitely not take credit for them.

"I always thought that you used all this valuable computing power in the design and unmanned driving of "Eighth Continent", but I didn't expect that most of the computing power was actually used here. Tim Cook finally couldn't help but sigh.

"As I said earlier, I always believe that top entrepreneurs should look at the universe, not at the earth. The Eighth Continent was developed to solve the problem of the liberation of part of the labor force, but this can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. I have always believed that in the future era of science and technology, the greatest role of human beings is to spread out in the universe and spread human civilization into the depths of the universe as much as possible, and only in this way can a civilization succeed. ”

"Otherwise, when the era of high intelligence comes, what should people do? All to study art and enjoy life, that is by no means the end of civilization, but should be the starting point of civilization. Wang Yufei bowed slightly.

He could tell Tim Cook was already moved.

In fact, anyone who sees this scene will probably be moved.

"What kind of existence do you envision a moon base?" Tim Cook asked, looking up at the tall mech.

"Of course it's a natural big spaceport. Come to think of it, the gravity of only one-sixth of the Earth means that we don't need much fuel, and we can easily send spaceships adapted to space into space. Moreover, the Moon is only 360,000 kilometers to 400,000 kilometers away from the Earth, and the speed of sound is about 6.8 kilometers per second, which means that at the speed of 20 times the speed of sound, we only need more than ten hours to travel back and forth between the Earth and the Moon, which is a very suitable distance. Wang Yufei continued.

"Twenty times supersound?"

"That's right, that's what we're going to do next, in order to make the moon a spaceport on Earth, we designed a two-way fast track from Earth to the Moon in our planning. The base velocity of this channel design is twenty times the speed of sound. Of course, as our technology advances more and our industrial base further improves in the future, we can continue to improve this fast lane, and it is possible to do 30 or even 40 times the speed of sound in the future. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can reach the earth directly in more than ten hours, and you need a transfer in the middle, just look at it. ”

After speaking, Wang Yufei put down the remote control in his hand, took Tim Cook around the mecha, and walked towards the back door.

Tim Cook reluctantly glanced at the mecha twice, and then followed Wang Yufei and walked into the laboratory behind.

Compared to the lab where the mechs were tested, the second lab was a bit unremarkable.

The experiment appears to be testing various data on a stretch of steel cable, with a machine hanging two ends similar to steel cables on hooks and then starting to stretch in both directions, while a huge monitor next to it displays the data.

Tim Cook noticed that the three-meter-long cable was being stretched at about 360 tonnes according to the monitor, but the cable was still so strong that there was no change in shape.

"This is a piece of steel cable, a completely new material, which is finally determined by a quantum computer through countless microscopic analyses. It is very stable on the microscopic plane and at the same time maximizes its ductility. This special cable is designed to lift up to 800 tons of weight with a diameter of one centimeter. This is also one of the most important materials for the Earth-Moon Passage. ”

"Our complete design is to first design a two-way space elevator, build the base station of the space elevator at a carefully calculated location, and then use this material as a cable to lift this reusable space ladder to a point in geosynchronous orbit, and build an Earth-Moon transit station at the selected point. You can think of this transit station as a small city floating in the air, moving in sync with the earth. It looks like a kite released by the Earth. ”

"All the people and supplies will be transported to this Earth-Moon transit station through about ten of these space ladders. The passage built from the Earth-Moon transit station is then sent directly to the Moon. ”

Wang Yufei looked at the materials being tested and introduced them casually.

As if finding it difficult to understand this, Wang Yufei moved his hand and turned on another screen hanging in the laboratory.

Then I operated it on the console twice, and the screen began to appear.

It's a simple three-dimensional composition, a three-dimensional composition of a space elevator.

In the composition, the ground part is a massive base, and in the center of the massive base are four towering cylindrical buildings, from which dozens of cables are inserted directly into space in an arc.

At the other end of the space is a large, slowly rotating disc-shaped building.

A total of four cylindrical ladder pods rise from the four cylindrical structures, leaving the ground and entering space at a constant speed, and when they hit the vicinity of the disc-shaped building, a circular opening opens under the structure in space, incorporating all the ladder modules.

After a while, the four circular openings in the sky opened again, and when the four ladder cabins fell, four more heavenly ladder cabins slowly rose from the cylindrical building of the underground base. Start the loop run.

"As you can see, this is the final design of the ladder, a total of eight space elevators, each with a single floor area of about 380 square meters, lifted by four cables, can lift 2,000 tons of people and materials at a time. We made a distinction between a total of six cargo ladders and two manned ladders. In the most energy-efficient state, the most stable speed of the ladder is 3,600 kilometers per hour, and it rises and falls in a vacuum, which means that it only takes about ten hours to reach the Earth-Moon transit station from the Earth. ”

"It will be a very pleasant trip for many people who want to enjoy the scenery of the universe, and people can take this ladder up and see our hometown for thousands of years from another angle, which is sure to be a very strange experience and will definitely attract many tourists. The two manned cabins have a total of three floors, with 200 ordinary seats and 20 VIP rooms with independent space. If necessary, you can also design a bar, a mini theater, and ensure that the ten hours of travel will not be boring. ”

Tim Cook stared at the screen for a long time.

He probably understood why Wang Yufei was in a hurry.

Not to mention that none of these materials research has yet to be completed, and the project itself will require years of preparation.

He didn't dare to think about laying a passage of 20 times the speed of light from the middle station of the earth and the moon to the moon now, just the construction of the ladder from the earth to the synchronous orbit and the construction of the earth-moon transfer station, God knows how much money and how much time it will take.

At this moment, Tim Cook looked at the picture on the monitor and really felt a little up.

At this moment, Wang Yufei suddenly said the truest thoughts in his heart at this time: "Mr. Cook, do you want to stand in the middle of the earth and the moon and overlook the earth in your lifetime? This is definitely a very rare experience, the special gravity area of the earth and moon space station, and our ladder will also have a gravity system, which means that ordinary people can enter space without training." If you can save me some time, I guarantee you'll be one of the first to climb the ladder and stand on the Earth-Moon space station looking down on Earth. How?"

Tim Cook was silent for a moment, then looked at Wang Yufei and suddenly asked, "I asked you a question in your office before, do you remember?"

"If you are the CEO of Yuxin Technology, can you show mercy to Apple's subordinates?"

"Don't be merciful, we need computing power to accomplish this great cause, and Apple should make its due contribution instead of spending computing power on those small things!" Tim Cook said solemnly.
