Chapter 694: Gigafactory
readx;? The matter of the Global Special Forces Competition is handled by Secretary of Defense Sean, and if there is no moth during the period, the Williams Empire will definitely win the championship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As far as Henry knows, the United States, RB and other countries are secretly developing cyborgs, and the specific situation is not clear to Henry for the time being. However, Henry is not afraid, cyborgs are just like that, at most they are humans who have been modified by chemistry, biology or machines. In fact, in this regard, the Williams Empire is also quite studied.
At 9 o'clock in the morning of Diego time on February 10, 2009, SpaceX, which attracted the world's attention, successfully launched the world's first quantum communication satellite, causing a huge sensation in the industry. Henry is also particularly concerned about this matter, because the success of the quantum communication satellite is of great significance!
Quantum is mysterious and magical, and it has two stunts, one is "doppelganger" and "remote telepathy". Don't underestimate these two skills, you must know that the most powerful quantum computer and the most secure quantum communication rely on them. The scientific name of quantum "doppelganger" is quantum superposition, which means that quantum can exist in several states at the same time. Our current computer is implemented in binary, which is represented by 0 and 1, which means that the state is only 0 and 1. Theoretically speaking, it would take 150,000 years to decompose a 300-bit large number with today's computers, but with quantum "doppelganger" parallel operations, it would take only one second to calculate. However, there is still a long way to go to develop a quantum computer!
And another quantum stunt, "remote telepathy", is called quantum entanglement. It's that if two similar quanta are close enough, entanglement will occur, and then you separate them no matter how far away, the state of these two quanta is like a pair of telepathic twins, one is happy, the other will laugh, one will cry, and the other must be sad. Using this characteristic of quantum entanglement, fast communication can be realized, and the speed of this communication is almost the speed of light! Therefore, in the future, people will have to use quantum communication technology to achieve fast communication between the solar system and even the Milky Way, and to establish the galaxy Internet!!
In addition, quantum has two quirks: indivisible and unclonable. Using the two quirks of Quantum, the most secure secret key can be made, which can make the current information transmission more secure!
At present, the quantum communication satellites developed by SpaceX mainly use the three characteristics of quantum superposition, indivisibility and nonclonability to achieve rapid communication and information security.
At this moment, Henry visited the headquarters of SpaceX. After watching the satellite launch, Henry consulted the CEO of the company about the situation, and then said: "Dr. Dickbart, the United States has GPS, Russia has the GLONASS satellite navigation system, China has the Beidou satellite navigation system, and the European Galileo satellite positioning system. Now that the quantum communication satellite has been successful, it is time for the Williams empire to build its own global positioning system and communication network!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Henry nodded and said, "This matter is imminent, and the Williams Empire has been slow for some time in other countries. I hope that SpaceX will mass-produce quantum communication satellites in the coming period. Oh, by the way, Dr. Dickbarth, how many quantum communications satellites do you estimate will be needed to build a complete global positioning system?"
"This depends on your Majesty's choice, whether you choose 3 orbital planes or 6 orbital planes. Among the four major navigation systems, only the United States GPS chose 6 orbital planes, Russia, China, and Europe chose 3 orbital planes, and the number of S satellites of the four was 24, 24, 35, and 27 respectively.
Theoretically speaking, the selection of 6 orbital planes, 21 working satellites + 3 backup satellites is enough to ensure that any place on the earth can be located at any time, but in actual operation, the number of GPS satellites is always more than 24, and many times there are 32 in the sky, the reason why the number of satellites has increased, the purpose is to improve accuracy and integrity.
Therefore, in the design of China's Beidou and Europe's Galileo, in order to improve accuracy and integrity, three orbital planes were selected, that is, the constellation design of 27 working satellites + 3 backup satellites. Moreover, Beidou has also added five additional satellites to improve the performance of the Asia-Pacific region.
To sum up, if the Williams Empire were to build its own satellite positioning system, I would recommend choosing 3 orbital planes!"
Henry nodded, so calculated, it means that at least S27 working satellites + 3 backup satellites will be issued.
"Very well, then do as you say!"
Henry paused and asked, "Dr. Dickbarth, can you build a GPS in two years?"
Dr. Dickbart thought for a moment before replying, "It should be no problem, as long as the SpaceX factory is slightly renovated, it can produce two quantum communication satellites a month!"
"Hmm!"
Henry nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of the water glass on the table, and then asked another thing: "How's the SpaceX spaceport going?"
"Your Majesty, the design of the spaceport is in the shape of a barrel-shaped pentagonal hub, and the staff at the spaceport are used to calling it 'hub port'. The central area of the hub harbor is a commercial center, entertainment center, and experimental center, and there are five large lanes connecting the spacecraft berthing area outside the central area. The spaceship berthing area is the outermost layer of the spaceport, and it is also the largest area, where ships from all over the world will trade goods, replenish energy, repair machines, and so on. At present, the construction progress of the hub port is still only in the central area, with a diameter of about 345 meters. But according to the design, the diameter of the central zone is at least 1000 meters. ”
Henry frowned and asked, "Can you speed up the construction?" I think the spaceport is still a bit slow!"
"Your Majesty, we have spent $101.5 billion to build the spaceport! And in order to build the spaceport as soon as possible, we have used the resources of SpaceX as much as possible......
When Henry heard this, his heart was dripping blood, it cost so much money to build such a big spaceport!
"However," Dr. Dickbart added, "With the development and improvement of technology, SpaceX's rocket recovery technology has made a huge breakthrough, and the current Falcon rocket can be reused about 25 times, and if you pay attention to maintenance and repair, it will have a longer life! If Your Majesty still wants to speed up the construction of the spaceport, then we can also ask other rocket companies to send S rockets to carry a large number of spaceport construction materials for us." In addition, they can also recycle their rockets after sending them at a low price, and use them to build port ...... after dismantling them."
"It's okay to ask other rocket companies to send S rockets, but you can buy rockets after you send them at a low price!" Henry said, tapping his hand on the table and thinking about things.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Sahara Desert is being transformed, and I plan to have SpaceX build a 20 million square meter gigafactory there to manufacture large quantities of rockets, satellites and spacecraft!!
"Your Majesty, you mean 20 million square meters?!" Dr. Dickbart asked, thinking he had misheard, uncertain.
"Yes, that's right, it's 20 million square meters!" Henry said with a smile, "Anyway, it's deserted, and after the desert environment is successfully transformed, it will be used to build a factory!"
Dr. Dickbart couldn't help but take a deep breath, convinced that he had heard correctly. The 20 million square meter factory, that is, 200,000 square kilometers, is simply too large, even larger than most countries, if compared with the European power Britain, only 44,000 square kilometers less!
What is the concept of such a factory, Dr. Dickbart can no longer imagine......
But for Henry, 200,000 square kilometers is really nothing. The desert area he bought is 5 million square kilometers, and he is confident that the whole of Africa will be his own in the future! Not to mention, in his previous life, the world's largest factory, Tesla's battery factory, covered an area of 13.6 million square meters. It's not too much of an exaggeration to ask SpaceX to build a 20 million square meter factory on its own!
At this time, Henry thought in his heart, even if the desert was successfully transformed, I am afraid that it would be uninhabited for a short time, so it would be used to build all kinds of large-scale factories, and then use the factories to drive the surrounding economy. Therefore, Henry will not just build the SpaceX Gigafactory, and then there will be the Tesla Gigafactory, the Alpha Gigafactory, the Gene Umbrella Gigafactory, etc., and the area of each Gigafactory will not be less than 10 million square meters!!
If you want to do it, you can do it!
The more Henry thought about it, the more excited he became, and the thrill of burning money came spontaneously!
