Chapter 255: A drop in the bucket
After the meeting ended, Du Qiu went directly to the command center, which is no longer deserted, and with the battle with the Mi army, Du Qiu felt that he needed some professional advice to assist in decision-making.
Fortunately, before that, Tiewei Security not only recruited veterans from the Tanga Federation, but also recruited from all over the world.
With Xinghai's strong intelligence gathering ability, it is natural to screen out a group of very good military talents.
After being filtered by Ning Shuangshuang's security department, he was selected to the base security department, and then moved his family into the base.
Du Qiu selected some suitable personnel from among these people and transferred them to the command center as staff officers and dispatchers.
Although there are also some high-fidelity robot experts in the command center, Du Qiu believes that they can't all be robots, after all, robots that have not achieved full strong artificial intelligence will not be as flexible as humans in the judgment of some emergencies.
The command center is now responsible for dispatching and commanding all the armed forces of Amazing Technology, including space-based weapons, pterodactyl fighters, as well as intelligent drones and intelligent artificial fish all over the country.
The dispatching commander who sits at each command position in the command center is responsible for dispatching and directing the combat forces of a certain group and undertaking the defense and attack tasks of a certain area.
With the participation of this group of personnel, Xinghai can free up his hands and concentrate his computing power to make more overall arrangements, especially the construction of the Celestial Space City.
Everyone in the command center performed their duties, and after Du Qiu came in, he sat directly in his place and began to ask about Xinghai.
"How is the construction of the Space City progressing so far?"
Xinghai instantly projected a 3D image in front of Du Qiu, and a huge cuboid appeared out of thin air.
Xinghai explained: "Sir, this is the core module of the Space City, or the first layer, which is 60 kilometers long, 40 kilometers wide, and 10 kilometers high, and can accommodate 5 million people.
At present, the overall structure has been completed, the power compartment has been put in place, and the external defense capsule will be assembled in space.
The installation and deployment of the biosphere system has begun internally, and it is expected that in two months, the core module can be sent to space. ”
Du Qiu rubbed his temples and said, "Xinghai, we need to speed up the progress, a great catastrophe is about to befall the Blue Star, and the scale of the Celestial Space City must be greatly expanded.
You calculate, if we go all out to produce Space City components, when will we be able to send the core module into space at the earliest? When can we start moving people again? ”
Xinghai didn't let Du Qiu wait for a long time, and immediately said: "Well, at present, there are 10 production lines of Pterodactyl fighters, which are running at full capacity, and each production line is producing 20 planes in 5 days.
Now that the total number of aircraft is already 500, it already has an absolute advantage in air and space operations, and it can be considered to suspend and transfer raw materials to the outer defense module, power cabin, gravity field cabin, etc. of the space city.
In this way, the core module can be lifted into orbit about 15 days earlier, that is, on September 8, which was originally planned.
After three days of test operation, people can be relocated to live inside. ”
Du Qiu frowned and asked, "It's only three days of testing, will it be too short?" ”
Xinghai replied: "No, in fact, this test is just a re-examination of my simulated test, which has been conducted many times in the simulated environment.
Now when you test it in the real environment, you can basically ensure that everything is foolproof, after all, there are plans for various situations, and the probability of errors is very small. ”
"Okay, in short, you have to be very cautious, after all, there are so many people living in it, and there is no room for too big mistakes."
"Yes, sir, I'll do a few more contingency tests to make sure Space City is safe."
"After the completion of the No. 1 core module, if we continue to build the core module in batches, how long will the construction period be?"
Du Qiu didn't expect to build a second core module so quickly, but Blue Star currently has the possibility of a major natural disaster.
In order to save more humanity, it is necessary to build a core module on a large scale and expand the scale of the celestial realm.
Xinghai replied: "According to the current supply rate of raw materials, it is possible to ensure the construction of three core modules at the same time, and the construction period can be fixed at five months. ”
Du Qiu, the core module of the Celestial Space City, has already begun to be designed and developed, and although the draft has been changed many times, some basic structural parts have already started construction.
For example, the various buildings and magnetic roads built inside are all modular, and then only need to be installed in the corresponding position in the core cabin.
By September 8, it took about 10 months to complete, and of course there were a lot of design revisions.
For example, when some new inventions or new materials are born, they will be readjusted, which is the reason why it will take so long under the current large-scale production of robots.
Originally, the core cabin designed by Du Qiu was a city with a capacity of 500,000 people, and it was ready to combine multiple core modules to form a celestial metropolis.
Later, under the guidance of Du Qiu, the Materials Research Institute developed a more powerful backbone pillar material, titanium-silicon-aluminum ternary alloy, and achieved large-scale mass production.
This allows Du Qiu to build the core cabin as big as a prefecture-level city in the Tang Kingdom, so that it is not a problem to accommodate 5 million people more relaxed.
If it is as crowded as the downtown area of the magic capital, the population of tens of millions can make do.
Du Qiu tapped his finger on his forehead and said, "In this way, we can complete three cities with a population of 10 million people every five months, which is still a drop in the bucket for billions of people in the world." ”
Xinghai suggested: "Then expand production across the board, including seabed mining, but we need to expand the number of mining robots and industrial robots."
With my current computing power, the maximum number of coordinated management bots cannot exceed 1 billion, and we are now close to reaching that limit.
To better coordinate control, you'll need to replicate new artificial intelligence to manage a large team of bots.
Of course, our seabed mining also needs to expand into the Pacific Ocean, where there will be more resource minerals. ”
Du Qiu had previously controlled the number of mining robots, after all, if the entire Indian Ocean seabed resources were emptied by himself, it seemed too unfriendly to future generations.
Especially in his dream, the resource star he is currently in is being exploited by predation, and the entire planet has been devastated.
As for copying artificial intelligence for general control management, Du Qiu has previously copied a nebula.
It is responsible for providing a large number of simulation calculations for scientific researchers, as well as providing corresponding technical advice, and is also responsible for controlling a number of scientific research assistance robots.
Later, after learning about Eden, Du Qiu also thought about it repeatedly, and even added a lot of restrictions to the underlying core code of Xinghai and Nebula.
Regarding whether artificial intelligence will rebel against humans, Du Qiu has changed from optimism at the beginning to cautiousness.
Therefore, he imitated the level certification system in the alien civilization, and solidified the Xinghai and Nebula, as well as a large number of intelligent robots.
After all, in his mind, the alien civilization is obviously far superior to the fourth-level civilization at present, and they still impose this kind of hierarchical restriction on all intelligent machines and artificial intelligence, which must be the way to success.
After listening to Xinghai's suggestion, Du Qiu said: "We don't need to increase mining efforts at the bottom of the Blue Star Sea, we should go to space to collect resources."
The robot factory module, which is attached to the core module, can be sent to space earlier, and the transport ship I designed earlier can be produced in space.
Send a group of mining robots to the asteroid belt on a transport ship, where there should be a lot of mineral resources, and mining is much easier.
I'll arrange for another AI to be replicated, the third, named Stardust, who will be in charge of all the mining in outer space and the construction of space transports and warships. ”
"Sir, are you finally going to start building battleships?"
Xinghai would ask this because it has not mastered some core technologies of fourth-level civilizations, such as nuclear fusion technology.
This made Du Qiu want to produce space battleships for a long time, but he did not put it into practice.
Space fighters have only just been built, and although metal hydrogen energy is enough to supply a warship, there is a difference in size.
