Sending Ji Rong and Lao Wang away, Qin Yi also walked towards the Galaxy Science and Technology Research Institute.

Space factory, this is something Qin Yi has been planning for a long time, building a factory in space is very expensive, and there are many technical requirements.

It may be very easy to build a factory on the earth, it is nothing more than to find a piece of land, build a house, pull in water and electricity, etc., and then install some machines, equipment, etc.

Even the highest level of dust-free factories and fully automated factories are very demanding, but they are only expensive to build.

But if you want to build a factory in space, it is not just about spending money, it must have strong technical support.

In the microgravity, vacuum, and low temperature environment of space, it is difficult to build a normal space factory from scratch and it is no different from the ground to build a factory.

Even though there are now large anti-gravity spacecraft that can travel between space and the ground with great ease, there are still many technical problems that need to be solved in this space factory.

Qin Yi estimates that the investment in a space factory will require at least trillions of Chinese coins, and it can be said that it needs to be piled up with gold.

The cost is huge, and the technical difficulties are very many.

It stands to reason that Qin Yi has no need to be obsessed with building a space factory in space, if Qin Yi says on the ground that he wants to build a factory, production base, etc., I don't know how many people will beg grandpa to tell grandma to beg Qin Yi to settle down in the past.

There is simply no need to go into space and build a space factory.

But Qin Yi is very clear that building a factory in space has advantages that it does not have on the ground.

The environment in space is very special, with microgravity, vacuum, cleanliness, and abundant solar energy, which are not available on the ground.

It can produce high-quality products that are difficult or expensive to manufacture on Earth, such as high-purity large-crystalline silicon materials and gallium arsenide materials for the electronics industry.

It is also possible to produce special drugs for the treatment of intractable conditions, such as interferon, that cannot be produced on the ground.

At the end of the 20th century, interferon passed on Uncle Sam's side, using genetic engineering technology, made from biological cells, but the purity is very low, because to isolate it from a mixture of more than 100 other biological cell products, the operation must be very careful and slow, otherwise the mixture in solution is easy to rise or sink.

In space due to the microgravity environment, this problem does not arise, scientists believe in calculations, the purity of interferon made in space is 100?? 400 times.

Interferon has a very large effect, mainly used for the treatment of advanced hairy cell leukemia, kidney cancer, melanoma, Kaposi sarcoma, chronic myeloid leukemia and low-grade malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma, others have been used for osteosarcoma, breast cancer, multiple myeloma, head and neck cancer and bladder cancer, etc., also suitable for acute and chronic hepatitis C, chronic active hepatitis B.

It can be said that interferon has a very good therapeutic effect on a wide range of cancers.

In the special environment of space, many high-tech things will be easier to produce in such an environment, and the cost can be greatly reduced.

In the field of high-precision electronic industry, the pharmaceutical field is of great significance.

In addition, Qin Yi studied in the science and technology tower, and he also knew very well that building factories in space was almost an inevitable trend in the development of civilization.

One of the most important reasons for this is the energy in space.

The earth's energy is limited, with the development of human science and technology, the demand for energy will become more and more huge, in ancient times, everyone burned wood is enough, now the world needs energy if you burn wood, the world's trees are cut down is far from enough.

With the popularization and promotion of private anti-gravity aircraft, the global energy crisis has begun to appear, and the future demand for energy will be even greater.

As long as the sun is not extinguished, the energy in space will never run out, and the solar energy in space is endless, and the solar energy used by human beings is insignificant for the huge energy released by the sun every moment.

The history of the development of civilization is the history of the development of science and technology, the history of the development of transportation, the history of power, and the history of energy.

To go to interstellar space, human beings will inevitably slowly move factories to space and learn to use more solar energy, which is an inevitable trend and a trend of development.

What's more, if human beings want to go out of the earth and into interstellar space, these anti-gravity spaceships alone are far from enough.

To put it mildly, the current anti-gravity spacecraft can only be regarded as a small boat in a bamboo raft, a small river, and a small lake, and it can still be walked in a small river and a small pond.

If you really want to rely on it to go to the waves in the sea of stars, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

It's like the Age of Discovery, without mastering advanced shipbuilding technology, if you go to the sea, you can't go back at all, and you don't know how to die.

The same is true of the current anti-gravity spacecraft, which may be used between the Earth and the Moon, and even can be used to explore the entire solar system, but it is impossible to leave the solar system with it, or even use it for interstellar colonization, immigration, or something.

If you want interstellar colonization, interstellar migration or something, human beings need larger and stronger spaceships, and this kind of spaceship is obviously impossible to build on the earth, it must be built in space.

In any way, the space factory is a must-have project.

Sitting in the car, Qin Yi looked at the scenery outside and kept pondering.

Of course, money is not a problem, now Qin Yi seems to have only money left, the company's subsidiaries are very profitable, plus Qin Yi has also stopped tossing in the past two years, Qin Yi's pocket is also bulging rapidly, and there is no problem at all in terms of funds.

The key now is the technical aspect, for this matter, Qin Yi has also been preparing for a long time, and someone here at the Galaxy Science and Technology Research Institute has taken the lead in researching for a long time.

The spaceship building of the headquarters building of Galaxy Technology Group is very close to the Galaxy Science and Technology Research Institute, which is in the core area of Huangjing Town, and within a few minutes, Qin Yi came to the Space Science and Technology Research Institute under the Galaxy Science and Technology Research Institute.

The person in charge of the Space Science and Technology Research Institute is none other than Wang Songling, one of the five people who Qin Yi had abducted and brought back.

In the Space Science and Technology Research Institute, Wang Songling is very busy, and Qin Yi has been here too often recently, and he knows that the boss is going to start the space factory project, so he is also even busier.

In a huge hall, Wang Songling, who was dressed in a white coat, stared at the huge monitor with a group of people in the same white coat, staring intently.

This display is simulating the operation of the space factory they designed with the most powerful quantum computer, passing through the data from various experiments, and then using the powerful computer to simulate the test, which has almost become a trend in scientific research now.

The advantages of computer simulations are obvious, and where there is enough data, experiments and various simulations can be carried out at minimal cost.

The cost of simulation testing in the computer is almost zero, which is nothing more than entering the data and letting the computer calculate it, and it can also constantly modify the data and conduct repeated experiments.

And if you really carry out experiments, not only do you need to consume a lot of resources and workers, etc., but some experiments are even very dangerous, and a careless accident will cause a major accident.

Of course, scientific experiments are scientific experiments after all, not a substitute for computer simulation, and many things must be experimented to get accurate data and results.

The basis of computer simulation experiments is to build on the basis of huge basic experiments, without which everything is empty talk and has no meaning.

On top of the huge monitor, a slightly oddly shaped factory is constantly in operation, and this factory looks completely different from the square factory above the ground.

It is a three-dimensional factory, and the overall appearance looks a bit like a spiked sea urchin.

Of course, this is a giant oversized 'sea urchin'.

Each of the 'spikes' on it is actually a long space dock that can be used to moor spaceships, and of course, a dock for building spaceships.

Obviously, this designed space factory, it should be a factory for building spaceships, and it is also a space factory for building super-large spaceships.

There are a total of eight long docks, each oriented in one direction, and it is possible to start building eight super-large spaceships at the same time.

The picture on the monitor is constantly enlarged, and it is absolutely small when I look at it as a whole, but when the screen is enlarged, I realize how huge this space factory in the computer simulation is.

One of its docks is more than 10 kilometers long, and now the largest anti-gravity spacecraft used to be very small, as small as a small point, and any huge mechanical arm on it can easily grasp it and fix it firmly in this long dock.

Huge, stout mechanical arms are constantly moving in the sky, transporting super-large parts one by one, and constantly assembling a 10-kilometer-long super-large spaceship in this huge dock.

Because of the computer simulation, the speed is also a lot faster, a lot, in just a few minutes, a huge spaceship was built from this huge dock, and began to slowly fly towards the bright starry sky.
