The great success of the floating city also represents the perfect conclusion of the first phase of the Blue Ocean Project.

The Blue Ocean Project is a key project cooperated by a number of scientific research units of Xinghuo Technology, which is not to develop a floating city, but to explore the mysterious deep sea.

The floating city is just an important platform for exploring the deep sea.

The water city passed the verification of the blue ocean city, and the data obtained was optimized, and Xinghuo Technology carried out the second phase of the blue ocean project.

Xinghuo Technology began to build a second water city in the Zhoushan Islands, which is a water research city and is mainly used for deep-sea scientific research.

On January 25, the construction of the water science research city has been completed in the Zhoushan Islands, and Zhou Yu personally went to the Zhoushan Islands to inspect the situation of the water science research city.

The general person in charge of the water science research city is Huang Ke, who led the expert group of the Spark Science and Technology Blue Ocean Project to take the water science research city and is about to explore the deep sea.

Zhou Yu boarded Xinghuo Technology's own water city, the Water Science Research City.

The water science research city covers an area not as large as the blue ocean city, which is only 500 square kilometers, which is half the size of the blue ocean city.

However, the water research city moves in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, and its draft can reach a maximum depth of 50 meters, and the buoyancy generated is much greater than that of the blue ocean city.

Huang Ke led Zhou Yu to visit the Water Science Research City, the building of the Water Science Research City is not much different from the appearance of Blue Ocean City, but the material is more high-end.

"Mr. Zhou, we have a total of 1,269 scientific research workers, 2,416 engineers and workers, and 859 logistics personnel in our water research city.

Compared with the usual research ships, our water research city can carry more personnel and equipment.

Covering an area of 500 square kilometers, passive sonar arrays can be laid on the water research city to explore the details of the underwater situation at 3,000 meters.

This is not possible even for professional anti-submarine ships, the main reason is that they cannot lay passive sonar arrays over a large area.

Our main tool for exploring the deep sea is the deep-sea submarine, which is an unmanned vehicle controlled by neutrino communication.

It can dive to the Mariana Trench, the deepest trench on Earth, which is 11,034 meters deep, which is higher than Mount Everest on Earth.

In the event of any mechanical failure of the deep-sea submarine, the factory in the water research city can also quickly repair the deep-sea submarine.

Even in an emergency, the water research vessel has a lot of raw materials in reserve, and the factory can urgently produce a deep-sea submarine.

Any research ship, after its equipment is damaged, must be replaced, and it simply has the strength to repair it, let alone produce new equipment.

This is one of the most important features of our water research city, and it is also an important reason why our water research city can explore the deep sea beyond the role of scientific research ships.

As long as we have the materials, the factories in the water research city can produce the required products according to the complex conditions of the deep seabed. ”

At the same time as Huang Ke's introduction, he took Zhou Yu to visit the major institutions of the Water Science Research City.

The most important machining center in the water science research city, where high-precision intelligent industrial robots are used, can make the machining accuracy of parts reach the nanometer level.

When the two parts are combined with each other, a natural waterproof layer can be formed, and there is no need for waterproof treatment at all, which is the charm of nanoscale processing.

The laboratories and data analysts of the Blue Ocean project scientists can directly contact the scientific research center through neutrino communication satellites, and receive the support of experts from the scientific research center and artificial intelligence Xianghua.

After Zhou Yu visited, he asked: "Does our water science research city have any unique technology, I visited it and saw that the water science research city uses mature technology."

"We have our own unique technology, mainly new detection technology.

In order to reduce the probability of risk, most of the technologies used in our water research city are mature technologies.

New technologies account for less than 3 per cent, and most of them are applied in areas where even if damaged, they will not have a lethal effect, such as neutrino radar technology. ”

"Neutrino radar technology? Can neutrinos still be used as radar? It does not reflect at all when it hits an object, and it passes through with a swish, how to obtain the data of the target. Zhou Yu asked suspiciously.

He had heard of quantum radar, which uses quantum technology to discover the trajectory of objects, and it was developed for stealth fighters.

I have never heard that neutrinos can also be used as radar, neutrinos are extremely penetrating, and the earth can't block neutrinos, let alone other items.

"We not only manufactured neutrino radar, neutrino radar is also one of the core equipment of the water research city."

Huang Ke said proudly, and he also explained to Zhou Yu the principle of neutrino radar operation.

A scientist in the Neutrino Laboratory named Wenxin was involved in the development of a neutrino modulation trap.

The Neutrino Laboratory conducts neutrino-related experiments every day, and Wenxin found that the physical form of the neutrino after the neutrino modem captures and debugs its physical form has changed a little.

There is a neutrino of frequency that changes its velocity after it passes through an object.

Passing through different kinds of objects, the change in velocity is not the same.

Based on the characteristics of neutrinos at this frequency, he developed neutrino radar.

As long as you look at the state of the group of neutrinos in front of you, you can see what material this group of neutrinos has passed.

Zhou Yu heard the specific principle of neutrino radar, and he said with relief: "I really didn't expect neutrinos to have this kind of use, neutrino radar is similar to CT."

Neutrino radar can be simply thought of as scanning an object layer by layer, and it can indeed accurately depict the shape of the object.

There are now many ways to observe particles moving at high speeds, and this is indeed a very good way to detect. ”

"Mr. Zhou, the main purpose of this water scientific expedition city is to depict the seabed mineral deposits and discover some strange items on the seabed.

The pressure on the seabed is very high, which produces some very special mineral deposits, such as manganese nodules, which are very versatile.

Nowadays, seabed mining is very demanding, and there is no sovereignty over mineral deposits on the high seas, and it is usually up to whoever can mine them. Huang Ke introduced the main purpose of this water scientific expedition.

Zhou Yu agreed: "Seabed mineral deposits are critical, and now the large proven mineral deposits on land are gradually depleted.

Metallic and non-metallic minerals are the cornerstone of civilization, and before civilization enters the interstellar civilization, huge cosmic mineral deposits are collected.

Seabed mineral deposits are the best way we can obtain them now, not to mention the complex types of seabed mineral deposits and the large number of special minerals.

This is an important resource, and if we don't exploit it now with technological advantages, many countries will compete with us in the future. ”

On the evening of the 25th, dragged by eight 100,000-ton giant ships, the water scientific research city slowly headed towards the Pacific Ocean.
