Chapter 272: Space Farming

It is precisely because of the large number of unmanned maintenance robots used in the space factory, so in the past ten years, human beings have made full progress in artificial intelligence, and many jobs have now begun to be slowly replaced by robots, especially in the space of those relatively dangerous jobs, of course, not all factories near the space city are unmanned factories, after all, there are still a lot of jobs that cannot be replaced by intelligent robots.

Of course, this kind of factory is only a small number of existence, after all, intelligent wireless has become the mainstream of various factories in space, and the general monitoring of these space factory work personnel are living in the space city, and the maintenance robot in space, whether it is large or small, generally uses the combination of intelligence and artificial, after all, the robot is just a program, in many ways can not replace humans, due to the special space environment, human beings can not be exposed to space for a long time, Therefore, in desperation, the robot is used, so there are very few intelligent working methods, and there are still many problems in the construction and maintenance process of the factory, and the robot cannot be solved at all, which requires the maintenance personnel living in the space city to repair the robot through wireless manipulation.

Of course, human beings in space are not only all kinds of smelting factories, but now most of the space factories in space are factories that smelt various ores, there are still some other factories, and some even produce various civilian materials in various space cities.

And in this vast space factory group, Zhu Lei also saw a space farm covered in glass, and the main role of these space farms is to reduce the material burden in the space city not far away.

However, due to the fact that the space agriculture technology has not yet been completely broken through by the Ming Empire, the output is very limited, and it can only provide a little material burden for the space city, after all, space is not the water needed for the survival of terrestrial creatures, and water is an absolute problem in space.

But no matter what, if human beings want to survive in space for a long time in the future, especially when carrying out long-distance interstellar voyages, space agriculture is particularly important at this time, you must know that space voyages often take dozens or even hundreds of years, because the average life expectancy of human beings has exceeded 1000 years, so now human beings no longer need to be like in science fiction, and artificial hibernation must be carried out during interstellar voyages.

Moreover, with the current human technology, even if it is artificial hibernation, it can only last for no more than ten years at most, and if it exceeds ten years, the hibernating life form will collapse and die due to various problems.

And if you really want to carry out interstellar voyages, the current Ming Empire does not advocate artificial hibernation, you must know how dangerous it is to sail in the universe, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties and dangers anytime and anywhere, and your intelligent system alone cannot effectively solve all kinds of dangers.

If there is no one to operate the spacecraft at this time, it is very likely that an accident will occur, and the survival rate of the creatures hibernating on the spacecraft is very slim.

But if it is very operated at this time, the survival rate in the face of various threats must be much higher than that of artificial intelligence, after all, many things cannot be solved by artificial intelligence, you must know that no matter how high artificial intelligence is created by humans, it will only run according to its specific program, if there is no solution in the program, then the program is very likely to ignore these things.

But manned spaceships will not ignore these things, especially human beings who have reached the congenital stage or above, and their judgment and intuition of threats are very high, and in many cases, they will sense and avoid these dangers before the danger comes, even if they can't avoid these dangers, their reliability can be much higher than that of computer programs when danger comes, and even if the spaceship encounters an accident during the voyage, they can quickly and effectively repair the spaceship.

Even if the spacecraft is unable to continue flying due to an accident, although the survival rate of the people in the spacecraft is slim, it is always higher than when the creatures are hibernating, the hibernation equipment is directly destroyed, and the people inside die directly.

And since human beings have a lifespan of thousands of years, ten years is really nothing for people nowadays, so why risk your life to hibernate.

Therefore, at this time, the importance of space agriculture is highlighted, after all, when the spaceship is on an interstellar voyage, because the humans inside do not hibernate, it means that a large amount of the material in the spacecraft will be consumed, especially the food and water that maintain the survival energy of human beings.

Water is a little better, after all, in the universe in many planets can still get some supplements, after all, even a planet like the moon contains such a huge amount of water resources, so according to the inference of scientists on the earth, as long as the environment on a solid planet is not too extreme, then the possibility of containing water is very high.

And food has become the biggest problem, especially the Ming Empire or the human beings on the earth have a particularly prominent need for this aspect, after all, all the human beings on the earth now basically practice martial arts, and the cultivation level of these people is not low, and even if it is other races on the earth that are not Chinese, they have also derived their own cultivation exercises due to the help of the Chinese.

So now as long as there are human beings on the earth, they all have cultivation in the body, and in the future, when the wisdom potion is popularized on a large scale, the wisdom of human beings will be much higher than now, so the energy required by the human brain must be much higher than now, and these need to rely on food to provide energy, so in the future, when human beings travel long distances in the universe, it is particularly important for the source of food, otherwise if during the interstellar flight, just half of the way will be consumed because of the food on the spaceship, Causing all the people on the spaceship to starve to death, then it is very ridiculous for a civilization that can travel far away from the stars, you must know that such a thing is very rare in the entire universe, if the spaceship does not have an accident, the civilization that has been upgraded to the middle pole, no matter what type of civilization basically does not happen.

Therefore, the Ming Empire does not want to become the laughing stock of other races in the universe in the future, so in the past few years, the Ming Empire has continued to invest in the research and development of space agriculture, so as to make the most basic preparations for human beings to carry out interstellar voyages in the future.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also some deep processing factories for materials in this factory, although the number of these factories is much less than that of primary smelting plants, but for the current Ming Empire, it can basically meet the resources needed to develop space.
