Chapter 81: The Prototype of the Base
Three days later, Liang Hua set off on time and stepped on the plane back to China, ready to negotiate terms with the domestic political department, while Cheng Yuan took a multi-purpose transporter to Macena Island in the Colon Islands, enjoyed the sunny beach, and inspected the construction process of the new base by the way.
Today's Macena Island, on the surface, still looks the same as in the past, the scenery is beautiful, sparsely populated, and there are groups of wild animals, only Cheng Yuan and others know that there is a group of robots of different sizes and functions underground, digging holes and building day and night, and is building a hidden and vast underground base.
Marchena Island is currently Louis's main living area, or base, because Louis has been unsealed by Cheng Yuan, or upgraded, the ability to create things has been greatly improved, but her ability to improve is more in terms of refinement, but it is still a short board in terms of output, so it is a bit difficult for her to build a complex base by herself alone.
In addition to the fact that the time spent is not cost-effective, Louis himself also has some weaknesses, that is, he has strong creation ability and weak design ability, that is to say, Louis is actually a good manufacturer, but he is not a good designer, so if she wants to build a good base, she must have a good designer to formulate a perfect plan and structure for her, and give her as detailed parameters as possible, so that she can build things step by step.
This point opened up the field, and Cheng Yuan, who had reached the third level of the domain level, just made up for her this shortcoming, that is to say, the current base is basically designed by Cheng Yuan.
Because Macena Island is an uninhabited island, it is not an exaggeration to say that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the traffic is not good, so it is undoubtedly difficult to build a base by conventional methods, at least it is difficult not to be found to build a base, so from the beginning, Cheng Yuan planned to develop construction robots first.
On the various models of construction robots, material composition, power systems and control programs, etc., Cheng Yuan as early as those eight years of field learning to simulate, of course, the things he simulated, although they are all self-innovation on the basis of the current human science and technology, but limited by harsh manufacturing conditions, now only Louis can be manufactured immediately, want to put aside Louis, with the earth's existing level of science and technology to create, further research and development is needed.
It can be said that Cheng Yuan is an advanced designer, and the things he designs are very good, but at present, there is no company on the earth that can realize his design blueprint, only Louis can realize Cheng Yuan's design blueprint with his unique creation ability.
In short, after unblocking Louis's ability, Cheng Yuan gave Louis his plan and design data, and then Louis was alone on Marchena Island, realizing Cheng Yuan's plan little by little.
First, Louis made several wooden houses on the island as a cover, and then built three 3D printers called Louis 7 in the wooden houses.
Louis No. 7 3D printer, is Cheng Yuan on the basis of the Lewis No. 6 printer, made some modifications and enhancements, and finally designed a new type of printer, this 3D printer may not be stronger than No. 6 in terms of output, but the ability to print items is stronger, more refined, and the demand for raw materials is also more crude, simply put, it is not picky.
Not picky eaters is the most unique thing about the No. 7 3D printer, because this No. 7 3D printer can not only use toner as raw materials, but also use any metal or non-metal things as raw materials, and then recombine micro and nano level substances, such as small molecules, into new nano materials.
If you want to talk about the principle, it is also very simple, it is nothing more than an ultra-high temperature furnace, and then all the raw materials enter the ultra-high temperature furnace, first in a vacuum environment, by the ultra-high temperature into a plasma state, and then these high-temperature plasma messy substances will be separated by various means, such as centrifugal force, super magnetic force, high-frequency sound waves, high-energy rays and other means to separate a single substance with different types of elements, but super purity, and then rearrange and combine different single substances according to certain rules, and gradually cool down. It becomes a new gaseous nanomaterial, and then these gaseous nanomaterials will continue to be cooled down to form a liquid state, which will be sprayed and printed into the planned product.
To put it more simply, it is to put all kinds of things into a pot, melt them into a high-temperature plasma state, and then separate these messy materials into various materials with super purity in a high-temperature plasma state, and then gradually cool them, recombine them, and print them out.
It is precisely because of this ability that meat and vegetables are not taboo, so there is no need for special iron ore, graphite powder and the like, only need to put piles of sand and stones and other things into it, and then different substances can be automatically separated, at most a certain substance content is high, a certain substance content is low.
You know, in fact, any handful of soil on the earth contains a lot of different elemental minerals, and usually these elemental minerals are impurities, the less impurities, the more single element minerals, more to a certain extent, it has become an ore that can be mined by humans, such as high-grade iron ore, copper ore, etc., and the Louis 7 3D printer has more functions, that is, it can ignore all minerals and can freely separate various elements in impurity minerals.
Although there are no minerals on Marchena Island, there are still a lot of impurities, and there are almost all kinds of elements in the soil and rocks of Marchena Island, so there is no shortage of raw materials at all.
In this way, two 3D printers kept printing various construction robots of different sizes and different functions, and the remaining 3D printer kept producing various nano-scale building materials, cooperating with each other, and slowly created the prototype of an underground base.
Don't talk about building materials, just talk about robots. At present, construction robots are mainly divided into four categories, namely large robots, medium robots, small robots and micro robots.
Those Titan-class robots like futuristic tanks, and ground-drilling robots like giant missiles, these are all large robots, mainly engaged in large-scale earthwork.
As for the spider robots that look like the size of a small car, and the humanoid robots that are about the same size as ordinary humans, these are medium-sized robots, and they are mainly engaged in civil work with general surnames that are further refined.
Small robots are mainly spider robots, which are only the size of a football ball, and mainly perform small processes such as fine welding, holemaking, and painting.
The microrobots are only the size of mosquitoes, and these robots are also mosquito-like, and can fly in the air, mainly for more subtle process construction.
That is, so far, there are four categories and six models of construction robots.
Unlike the models that Xiaolan printed out with the Louis 6 printer, as soon as these robots are printed, or produced, they already have a complete power system and neural transmission system, and they don't just have a shell, it can be said that in addition to not entering the control program, it is a mechanical life with all kinds of organs!
And when these soulless robots are produced, they will be transported out by the conveyor belt, and then there will naturally be machines to input the corresponding model of control programs into their bodies, and then, the robots will be activated, making them real artificial intelligence robots!
When these robots are produced by the assembly line, they will automatically start to carry out construction behaviors according to the plan according to the instructions in the program, that is, digging holes, moving bricks, and welding...... In short, with the cooperation of various models and different capabilities, and with the continuous supply of various nanomaterials, Macena Island has been changing every moment without being known, and from the very beginning, it has been an underground operation far beyond the limits of human beings.
In this way, with new robots constantly appearing, new materials constantly emerging, and the construction speed getting faster and faster, by the time Cheng Yuan came to inspect, the entire Macena Island had been dug into a series of beehive-shaped super caves crisscrossing and different sizes.
The total area of this honeycomb-shaped underground cavern is 88 square meters, which occupies more than 60% of the entire area of the island of Macena, and the size of this area is still expanding, and I am afraid that after a while, it will spread to the entire island and to the underground of the submarine continental shelf.
Moreover, this underground cave is divided into five floors, of which the lowest floor is five meters high, and the highest floor is fifteen meters high.
"I think we're pretty much done so far." After looking at the data given by Louis, and after inspecting the situation on each floor, Cheng Yuan nodded, "So, the behavior of digging holes and expanding the area will end here, don't blindly expand the scale of the underground hive base, after all, the underground volcanic activity here is still relatively active, although the crustal activity is much better than that place, but try not to damage too much." ”
"Hmm." Louis nodded, even if he agreed.
"How's the production going?" Cheng Yuan continued to ask, "What about the robots in particular?" ”
"It's all 24-hour production." Luis replied, "It's okay to talk about raw materials, but because of the complexity of the process, the output of robots has not been high. So far, only 100 multifunctional Titan-class robots have been produced, of which only 30 are the No. 1 Heavy Titan and 60 are the No. 2 Medium Titan; 120 large gopher drilling robots were produced, including 50 super-large gophers, 50 large gophers, and 20 medium-sized gophers. There are a total of 600 medium-sized spider robots and multi-functional humanoid robots, 200 medium-sized spider robots, and 400 humanoid robots; 1,000 small spider robots and 3,500 mosquito-shaped robots. ”
"That's a lot." Cheng Yuan nodded, "How much is your current production capacity?" ”
"Now 24 hours a day, we can produce 3 to 5 Titan robots, 2 to 5 gophers, about 15 medium-sized spider robots, about 25 humanoid robots, 50 small spider robots, and about 250 mosquito-shaped robots." "But this is just a theory, in fact, because the energy supply of the ultra-high temperature furnace must be provided by myself, and the internal power system of the production robot is complex, so the No. 7 3D printer that produces the robot does not have a long lifespan, 24 hours a day, only about three days of life, I have to repair it every three days, so the production speed is limited to a certain extent." ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Cheng Yuan nodded, "I have also noticed this problem of yours, but the No. 7 3D printer can only use your energy to maintain the operation of the ultra-high temperature furnace, so it is subject to many restrictions, and there is no particularly good solution for the time being, so it can only accelerate the production of new energy power systems as soon as possible." However, in the past few days, I have redesigned a device, which does not use the method of 3D printing to produce robots, but uses the method of assembly line, and uses the mode of mechanical assembly line to produce robots, so that you can reduce the load on the No. 7 3D printer and yourself. In the future, this kind of production line specializes in the production of simplified version of assembly line robots, and 3D printers produce some core boutiques to form a high and low match, what do you think? ”
After hurriedly looking at the new design that came from afar in the process, Louis frowned: "But according to the ability of your production line, the quality and ability of the robot will be greatly reduced." ”
"It's okay to discount." Cheng Yuan smiled, "The robot itself is a robot, there is no need to be too refined, as long as the output goes up, the intelligence is passable, it is definitely better than the elite robot, although the robot from the production line is not as good as the robot printed with a 3D printer in all aspects, but as long as it is enough." ”
"It's up to you." Louis nodded, "Anyway, you give the order, I'll do it." ”
"That's good!" Cheng Yuan rubbed his hands excitedly, "I really can't wait, now we just built a prototype of the base, and then, when enough robots are produced and become a sea of robots, it is time for the base to be further refined, engaged in construction, and let us have the ability to protect ourselves!" ”
