After Zhang Yuan browsed these materials, the sound of breathing gradually became solemn, and he found that the so-called "fully automatic universal factory" was actually a super-large 3D printer!

But this 3D printer is extremely powerful, combining multiple key technologies such as biology, information, and machinery, and can print tens of millions of parts!

Tens of millions!

Moreover, these printed parts have extremely high accuracy and output, and the parameters marked by them are dumbfounded.

It's incredible that there is such a powerful machine in the world!

It can even be said that the power of a machine is equivalent to the cutting-edge productivity of all their current human beings, and even exceeds it by a lot!

As if to see his doubts, the Gliese leader explained, "Please don't doubt that this is the technological product of the pinnacle of the second-level civilization of the universe, or even the third-level civilization!" ”

“amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; According to our observations, although we don't know what level of technology your mother civilization has reached, Ning's current industrial capacity and technological means are still limited to the scope of first-level civilization......"

Zhang Yuan's heart beat heavily, the leader of the Gliese civilization may have deliberately revealed a small amount of common sense of cosmic sociology to mankind.

The game between the two sides has begun!

But he must not be stupid enough to ask these common senses directly, otherwise the other party will think that these cosmic information has transaction value, and maybe the lion will open his mouth......

He pretended to be very calm and said: "Regarding the description of these materials, this factory is indeed very powerful, and even uses some biological means. ”

"But according to the current text description is not detailed enough, this transaction is very important, I hope to be able to visit this universal factory in person, I don't know if it is convenient?"

The other party hesitated for a while, then nodded and replied: "This is no problem, if you don't feel tired......"

The negotiation lasted for half a day, so much so that Zhang Yuan didn't even have time to sleep, and visited the so-called "fully automatic universal factory" with great interest!

This behemoth, which is larger than an aircraft carrier, is about 300 meters long, 120 meters wide, and has a mass of 160,000 tons.

There are also a large number of supporting factories, nuclear power plants and so on in the vicinity.

In other words, basically all the daily necessities in Goertek are produced in this industrial zone.

"Doesn't it seem...... Fake. ”

Zhang Yuan exhaled heavily.

Crucially, the machine is not entirely a metal device, but rather uses a lot of biotechnology, using some organic matter and protein as its own components. The advantage of this is that the sensing system is very powerful and has a certain self-healing ability, which can work for a long time and stably.

"It's a tech tree that humans don't have." He was half surprised and half puzzled, he only wanted peace negotiations, and he had never thought of signing such a big order......

Moreover, it is really strange that the other party actually wants to sell this powerful machine.

"Oh, Lord Gan Yaduo...... IMHO, this is what you're trading with a second interstellar civilization? ”

"Yes, it does."

"So I'm wondering, how are you supposed to maintain such a complex system?"

What Zhang Yuan means is that it is impossible for this huge machine not to need maintenance for 50,000 years.

And how could the technology of the Gliese civilization maintain this thing?

Gan Yaduo said: "You don't have to worry about this problem. At the heart of the universal factory is a biocomputer, which has a certain degree of self-healing ability. If it is not violently destroyed, there is almost no need for maintenance, and it will not be replaced for 50,000 years, 100,000 years. ”

"As for the rest of the mechanical parts, all we need to do is follow the instructions of its artificial intelligence and replace them regularly."

"Artificial intelligence?"

"It's just a weak AI, it can automatically detect where it needs to be maintained."

Zhang Yuan estimated it, and hesitated a little in his heart: "However, with such a factory, it may not be enough...... Even if it uses a different technological thread. ”

The stakes are so high that we can't be too cautious.

And he's still weighing on whether the deal has pitfalls......

For example, after occupying most of the productive forces of human beings, the other party suddenly hits; For example, if human beings work hard to build a spaceship, and the other party regrets it, what can be done when the time comes?

After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan said: "It's not that this factory is bad, but your spaceship is required to be able to carry a population of 2 million to 2.5 million...... It takes us a long, long time. Moreover, a spaceship itself contains a huge amount of scientific and technological content, and many scientific and technological ...... can be analyzed."

"You're wrong." Gan Yaduo argued: "The Universal Factory not only represents a huge amount of productivity, but also has a large scientific and technological reserve in its database. This is the technological reserve of the pinnacle second-level civilization, and I think that this information alone is enough to change a star-level spaceship. ”

"It depends on what these scientific and technological reserves are......"

Zhang Yuan was not simply confused, and replied: "If the technologies in the database are what we already have, then the value of these technologies will be greatly reduced. And you know, for a lot of technologies, there's no way to be compatible with each other...... Even the different standards of screws will cause huge differences, at most they can only be used for reference, not directly. ”

"The industrial standards of our human civilization have basically taken shape, and it is impossible to change easily because of a universal factory...... Therefore, the value of the scientific and technological information in it remains to be discussed. ”

Of course, Zhang Yuan was just talking nonsense, he really wanted to know what level the so-called second-level civilization peak was, and what kind of technology it had. As for many industrial standards, it is true that they are not compatible, but some scientific and technological ideas, even if they are just borrowed, are of great significance.

In the following talks, Zhang Yuan inspected the capabilities of the so-called "universal factory" and sent relevant materials to the Earth Times for a report.

After some investigation, he believes that the probability of being a trap is very low, and the other party has already exposed his core technology, and there may indeed be some problems that want to ask for help from humans.

This universal factory is so powerful and convenient that it can produce a large number of parts and components as long as some raw materials are imported. This unbelievable automation process simply made Zhang Yuanda's eyes red.

For a simple example, if 6,000 centrifuges are produced by a new civilization, it may take half a year, and the corresponding production line needs to be set up, and various manpower and material resources need to be invested; With this universal factory, there is no need for a new production line at all, as long as the specific program is set in the computer, and then the raw materials are put in, and the production of various parts may only take three months!

Although there is also a corresponding 3D printing technology on the earth, there is far from being comparable in terms of productivity and accuracy.

He even kindly wanted to close the deal.

"It's hard to compare the value of a universal factory with a stellar-class spaceship, so why not research it and assemble another universal factory?"

Or even ten, a hundred, a thousand?

Even though the entire reverse engineering process may be very difficult, Zhang Yuan still has some confidence in his family's engineers.

Moreover, it also includes biological machinery that humans rarely relate to.

Of course, the difficulty must be quite large, and all kinds of messy biotechnology are not so easy to crack, otherwise these pangolins would not have thought of this.

"In other words, is it difficult to produce the so-called core, biomachinery? In other words, there is no way to generate a universal factory in the database. ”

"Or maybe these pangolins are too lazy to crack?"
