And now in the space city that has been built around it is no longer more than ten years old, more than ten years ago this space city around except for a space station, the rest of the place is empty and looks very desolate, but now it is different, now around the space city is not only responsible for a piece of space solar power station that can not be seen at a glance, but also has a variety of space factories of different sizes, although most of these factories are space smelting plants, and most of these factories have no deep processing capacity, After all, the technical content of deep processing and primary processing is different, especially in the gravity-free environment of space, deep processing has higher technical requirements, so most space smelting plants can only carry out preliminary processing.

However, among so many smelting plants, it is not that there are no factories with deep processing capabilities, but compared with the generally large-scale preliminary smelting plants, these space deep processing smelting plants are much smaller, and the number is not as large as the number of preliminary smelting plants, and the proportion of stations in the entire space factory is only about 1/10, this is because the preliminary space smelting plant has been built ten years ago, so it will have such a huge scale until now.

However, the space deep processing plant is different, due to the different technical difficulties, so the deep processing factory has only made a breakthrough in technology in recent years, due to time reasons, so the number of deep processing factories is much less than the preliminary processing factory, but it is enough for the current human race.

In the past ten years, although the Ming Empire has worked hard to build various space smelting factories, all the factories in space of human beings are absolutely incomparable to the number of various smelting factories on the earth.

You must know that from the beginning of the industrial revolution to the present, how many smelting factories there are on the whole earth, and the technology of many smelting factories is also very high, and when the Western alien race moved to Pangea, although a large part of the high-tech enterprises have moved over, especially those that have smelting enterprises that they think are highly technological, but due to the urgency of time and the fear of the discovery of the Ming Empire, they still have a considerable number of various enterprises still on the earth. Among them, smelting factories account for a large part of the proportion, after all, as a heavy industry enterprise, there are many machinery and equipment that cannot be relocated in a short period of time, and because of the huge volume of these equipment, if you want to relocate, it is very easy to be noticed by the Ming Empire, and most of the technology of these factories has been backward, although these factories can still operate normally, but in terms of profits, there is nothing worth their efforts to relocate these factories to Pangu Xing.

Therefore, most of these factories were inherited by the private owners of the Ming Empire before, so even if most of the entire Western alien race has been relocated to Pangea, most of their factories on the earth are still preserved, so all the smelting factories of human beings in space together are not one-ten-thousandth of the factories on the ground.

It is the combined output of all space smelting plants that is one-thousandth the scale of the earth, after all, due to the different scientific and technological content of the environment, a factory of the same scale, the output of the factory in space is at least ten times higher than that of the factory on the earth, after all, although human beings have now entered the space age, most of the various factories on the earth still rely on human beings themselves to complete various jobs, although most of these factories have been intelligently modified, but this is still not comparable with the space factory.

Now the various factories of the Ming Empire in space are all unmanned factories and do not even have technical functions, everything in them is controlled by intelligent programs, and because there is no gravity and no resistance in space, it is much more difficult to smelt than on the earth, of course, in some aspects, the same thing is much easier in space Wang Cheng.

For example, in the process of smelting, some ore with relatively large volume and high weight must be made into powder on the earth to continue smelting, but in space it is different, because there are now large solar panels around the factory, providing a steady stream of energy for these space smelting plants, and due to the development of smelting technology, it is no longer necessary to make the ore into powder and then continue smelting in space.

Although this technology can also be implemented on the ground, due to the influence of the Earth's gravity, the weight of these large ores is generally very large, so it usually takes a lot of effort and time to move these large ores.

But in the space factory, it is different, because the space smelting factory is in space, there is no gravity and resistance here, as long as a little force can move these large pieces of ore, so if the volume of these large pieces of ore does not exceed a certain size, they are generally directly smelted in space without crushing.

Therefore, the output of these space smelting factories will exceed that on the ground by so much, and because these space smelting factories are all intelligent, the overall structure of these space factories is very compact, and some space factories can't even be entered, let alone operated by humans themselves.

Although these space factories are very compact, and some workers can't even get in, these factories still have some maintenance channels, of course, these maintenance channels are also very small, and it is impossible for human beings to go in and repair these factories, so these maintenance channels are reserved for intelligent machinery.

After all, in such a harsh environment as space, if you use human beings to repair the things in the factory, not to mention the speed and efficiency of maintenance, even the environment in space itself can discourage many maintenance personnel, after all, space is not the ground, you may encounter all kinds of dangers at any time, and the maintenance work is no better than others, although all kinds of workers working in space now usually wear exoskeleton armor, The resistance to various dangers is much stronger than the spacesuits worn by Zhu Lei and those astronauts, but if you really want to repair the factory, there will still be casualties, just like when the first space city was built, there were many casualties, and even some were directly killed by meteorites flying over when they were working, and from the construction of the space city to the present, there have been more than thousands of people who have lost their lives in various dangers in space. Therefore, now the entire Ming Empire will use human beings to build and repair various factories in space, as well as the maintenance of various power stations and space factories, and in the case that there is no way, they will use human beings themselves to build and repair.
