Project YZ-360 expeditionary ship, laboratory 068. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Vincenson Hatch is expertly manipulating the hyper-realistic 3D console in front of him. As an elite-level engineer of the Triad Star and a graduate of the Central Engineering Academy of the Triad Star Empire, Vincent Hatch can be said to be proficient in manipulating the production process in front of him.

An hour ago in the Earth unit, Vincenson Hatch and the YZ-360-012 engineering team received a new production task to produce a super audio system numbered CS-0058. This is a new set of equipment based on the three-in-one sound system, with the latest quantum audio transmission system and control system. But for Vinson Hatch, it's a simple upgrade, and it's not a difficult one.

Vinson Hatch has a heartfelt love for the ultra-realistic 3D console in front of him. This set of operating systems from the great earth civilization, compared with the CX-01 engineering operating system he used before, is far beyond more than one grade in terms of the intuitiveness of the interface and the ease of use. It's a real pleasure to use this system for assembly and production.

The 3D projection in front of you shows that in the huge production workshop, the components produced by computer automation are quickly assembled by the extremely flexible engineering robots, and a set of independent speaker units is assembled in less than a minute.

Named "Green Link I", this set of standard loudspeakers is 1 meter long, 0.6 meters wide and 2 meters high, using a 50-inch standard midrange driver, a 30-inch woofer and a 25-inch tweeter. Built-in quantum audio communication technology and Roland I-type high-fidelity circuit system. A "Green Link I" speaker is an independent set of speakers. In the case of solitary use, this "Green Link I" standard speaker can allow the creatures within a radius of 100 meters centered on it to perfectly receive the audio signal it plays!

The complete set of CS audio system is composed of 5,000 "Green Link I" standard speakers, repeaters, controllers, central mixers, power supply systems and other parts, with a total of more than 10,000 components! This is a large sound system, after the assembly, in the official operation state, can allow creatures within a range of 1,000 square kilometers to perfectly receive the audio it plays!

Expeditionary-class warships are super-large integrated warships, specially designed for space voyages. An expeditionary ship is a complete closed ecological chain. Theoretically, as long as it can be replenished with energy, an expeditionary-class warship can sail without restrictions. And its internal laboratory system and production system, under the condition of sufficient resources, can also manufacture all products based on the technology of the second-level civilization of the Triad, including this new standard sound system!

The YZ-360 fleet received the production task of 500 sets of CS-0058 super audio systems. In terms of the manufacturing capacity of the expeditionary-class warship, it will take 20 hours to complete this production task. That's the average time, and for an elite engineer like Vinson Hatch, it only takes nineteen hours to complete the twenty sets of production tasks he has received!

"The last unit is assembled, the yield rate is 100%, and after completing this task, you can go to rest!" Vincenson Hatch waved his tentacles, pressed the last car enter, looked at the picture in front of him, the last assembled "Green Link I" standard loudspeaker, was transported away by the engineering robot, stretched a big lazy waist and muttered to himself.

The engineering robot stretched out a mechanical arm several meters long, grabbed the freshly baked "Green Link I" standard loudspeaker, and accurately placed it in the designated location, in a valley on Mars, according to the positioning given by the central computer on the Leshen.

It's a nameless valley where the earthy hue fills the sky from afar. At this moment, this valley is blowing a twelve-level gale, if it was an ordinary construction machine on the earth, under such bad weather conditions, I am afraid it would have been blown into the sky long ago! However, the engineering robot developed by the Sanhexing civilization flew steadily in the air. The perfect application of anti-gravity technology, coupled with the central navigation system of a supercomputer, makes this engineering robot adapt to the Martian environment like a fish in water.

A huge engineering robot more than 20 meters long hovered above this unknown valley, then opened the abdominal cabin, and the robotic arm grabbed a freshly baked "Green Link I" standard loudspeaker and gently put it on the ground of Mars. At the moment when the "Green Link I" standard speaker touched the Martian ground, the built-in stabilization system was activated, and the three retainers arranged in an equilateral triangular structure at the bottom stretched out their long tentacles and extended to more than ten meters underground, which stopped drilling and started the locking system. The next moment, the green light at the top lights up, and a signal of normal installation is issued, indicating that this installation is successfully completed!

The engineering robot that received the information immediately got off the ground, and the anti-gravity engine was fully turned on, heading towards the next target!

In the vast land of Mars, there is such a scene everywhere. Countless huge engineering robots, like seeding machines, placed the sound systems in thousands of production workshops on the 360 expeditionary ships in the designated positions one by one according to the results of supercomputer calculations!

"Didi!" A crisp instruction sounded, and the standard loudspeaker numbered LL-33548 "Green Link I" that had just been "seeded" officially established a connection with the quantum communication satellite and entered the working state. The built-in super battery allows it to work continuously in standard mode for a hundred Earth years.

At this moment, behind a low mound less than ten meters high, a few hundred meters away from the "Green Link I" standard loudspeaker numbered LL-33548, an engineering robot about two meters high and about five or six meters long slowly drove in this direction.

This engineering robot is different from the huge anti-gravity flying robot that has just deployed the "Green Link I" standard speaker, if the "Green Link I" standard speaker is a huge elephant, then this engineering robot can only be regarded as a rabbit at best, or smaller than a rabbit.

Its body surface is full of speckled traps and pits of different shades, all of which show the "suffering" that this engineering robot has experienced on this planet.

This is not any engineering robot under the "Expeditionary Fleet" led by Chu Yang, although it looks extremely simple on the outside, but on the earth, this machine is not a small reputation!

This is a Mars rover developed by NASA to explore Mars, named "Curiosity" by NASA - launched in November 2011 and successfully landed on the surface of Mars in August 2012. The rover has been working on the planet for eight years now. Despite the age of the internal components, it is still working diligently, relying on the energy provided by the solar panels, and according to the established program, it "wakes up" every once in a while to continue its detection mission.

The Curiosity, which looked like a large version of the WALL-E, slowly moved forward following the route specified by the program. More than ten seconds later, it came to the newly set up "Green Link I" standard loudspeaker numbered LL-33548, and immediately stopped.

The "Curiosity" Mars rover raised its somewhat old metal "head" and looked at the "big guy" in front of him with a silver-white metallic luster, full of streamlined beauty and technological beauty, just like Wall-E in the movie "Robot Story", looking at the high-tech robot Eva for the first time. It seemed to be a little puzzled, not understanding why there was such an advanced technological creation on the desolate Mars.

Of course, "doubt" is only a façade. This Mars rover, built in 2011, has a built-in AI that is far less advanced, and "thinking" is still 108,000 miles away. It's just that the LL-33548 "Green Link I" standard speaker that suddenly appeared here at this moment just met its detection conditions, so it "stopped" and used its two high-definition cameras of up to 50 million pixels produced by The Leica Company to shoot the "big guy" in front of him.

The next moment, the "Curiosity" sent the photo back to Earth through the special data channel of the GPS system according to the instructions of the program.

The direct data bandwidth between Curiosity and Earth is about 8 Kbit/s, but the ideal transmission bandwidth with the Mars Odyssey 2001 is 2 Mbit/s, while the bandwidth between the 2001 Mars Odyssey and Earth is 256 Kbit/s. When the probe flies over the rover, it can communicate for eight minutes at a time and can transmit up to 250 Mbits of data, which takes more than 20 minutes to transmit to Earth.

At this moment, 400 million kilometers away from Mars, in the 56th observation room of the Kennedy Space Center in the United States, observer Walker is holding his favorite Starbucks caramel madot, taking a sip, while wearing NASA's specially built Sennheiser HD850 special edition monitor headphones, listening to the songs of the Eagle Band.

Kennedy Space Center (KennedySpace Center, abbreviated as KSC) is located on Merritt Island on the east coast of Florida in the east of the United States, established in July 1962, and is the most important place for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct manned and unmanned spacecraft testing, preparation and launch. Its name is in honor of the late President of the United States, John? John F. Kennedy. The site is 55 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide, covering an area of 567 square kilometers, and about 17,000 people work there.

In such a large scientific research institution, except for those elite scientists who are busy every day, in fact, most people's work is leisurely and comfortable, and even a little boring. It's like Walker, who has been working here for eleven years in a row, and can be regarded as a veritable "old employee". And his daily job is to observe the various data transmitted by the spacecraft launched into space by NASA, and then classify and summarize it according to the event level, and then report it to his superior, the old woman with menopausal syndrome Doris.

About a year ago, Walker added to his job by receiving images of Mars from Curiosity. When he first came into contact with this work, Walker was actually very excited. After all, it was Mars, the first alien planet that humans could directly detect. Of course, if the moon had to be counted, then Mars would only be second, but Walker and many of his NASA colleagues believe that the moon is nothing more than a satellite of the Earth. Landing on the moon, while it was also a great thing, was not an "alien planet". But Mars is different, it is the closest planet to Earth in the solar system known to humans, and many scientific institutions are even studying how to colonize Mars. So Walker, like many of his colleagues at NASA, has a keen interest in Mars.

But Walker's interest lasted less than two weeks before it was worn out. Every 20 minutes, Curiosity on Mars sends him a picture of Mars. Walker admits that the first time he saw the dark red earth of Mars and the weathered rocks, he was fascinated by it. But when he saw it dozens or hundreds of times, he began to get a little bored. The same scene will no longer be of interest to anyone. Until now, when he has seen those similar images tens of thousands of times, he has completely lost interest in this work. If it weren't for the fact that the salary of this job is quite good, and he also has a girlfriend who loves famous brands, especially Louis Witten's bags, Walker would have wanted to put these photos on the face of an old woman who was in menopause at that time.

"Hmm, it seems that there is too much caramel mato recently, so it looks like I'll have to talk to the courier next time." Walker put the caramel matto on the desk, which he had drunk almost two-thirds of the time, and then patted his increasingly "towering" belly, and continued with some self-deprecation: "It seems that I have to go to the gym a few more times, and it is too easy to gain weight by sitting in a chair every day." ”

"Didi!" On the console in front of him, an electronic prompt suddenly sounded. But Walker didn't care at all, having worked here for more than a year, he was already familiar with the sound. That was the signal for Curiosity to start working. Equipped with only one solar panel system, Curiosity will go into hibernation after a while, replenish its power, and wait until it is replenished before continuing its work. According to the previous cycle, today should be its 237th launch. You don't have to look at the work log on your computer, Walker can remember it clearly.

He also knew that when he heard this tone, the tattered classic car far away on Mars had been working for twenty minutes. At this time, it should have finished taking a picture and was in the process of transmitting it to Earth, but he would have to wait another twenty minutes to see the-red picture.

Walsh tapped the keyboard a few times, logged down the system log, and continued listening to the Eagles, and when he heard his favorite "Hotel California" for the fourth time, another system beep finally rang again. Walker knew that it was the "homework" handed in after the classic car "woke up".

With a click of the "Receive" button, Walker looked at the screen in front of him, the progress bar scrolling forward in a familiar rhythm, and when the progress bar rolled to the end, a picture appeared in front of his eyes.

"Smack!" Walker's hand shook, and the unfinished caramel mazon fell to the floor! Brown coffee, all over the place!
