Chapter 2 Lunar Base

November 5, 2020, the Moon.

This is the third month of the loss of contact with the lunar base, after the scientists of the lighthouse country, NASA, parliamentarians and even the public learned that their proud unmanned lunar base was lost, they still did not give up the way to save it, and frantically tried to contact at the same time, Cao Chuan completed the transformation from the interstellar Robinson and had a modern, self-sufficient lunar base. Including-

The original lighthouse country lunar base, covering an area of 150 square meters, can accommodate up to 5 people in daily life.

The underground planting space, covering an area of 100 square meters, is used to obtain basic food supplies by planting fungal life with low demand for sunlight and oxygen.

The surface solar power plant, which covers an area of 300 square meters, collects enough solar power reserves to supply the operation of various facilities in the base through the moon's unique 14-day daylight.

Before being sent to the moon, Cao Chuan was just an ordinary person, so he didn't have any ability to survive on the moon, let alone how to operate the complex lunar base, and even use the rich materials stored in the lunar base to make what he wanted.

In order to achieve his goal, he had to first re-model more than 50% of the science and technology from 5000 BC to the present, master the theory and application, and then start working.

Now, Cao Chuan can be said to be the most knowledgeable among all mankind, even if he is sent to the world of the novel, he has the ability to build a huge industrial empire from scratch and push the whole world flat.

However, he is in a modern society, and with the help of the Moon Base, he is not starting from scratch, which shortens the process of rebuilding the entire civilization technology tree to 3 months.

In addition to mastering all kinds of science and technology left over from human civilization in the past, the only super-era technology that he has carried out large-scale simulation in three months is space technology.

Many of the things that are widespread on Earth will go wrong once they reach a vacuum and low gravity environment, so even if you master most of the technology of an existing civilization, you still have to modify it to be able to use it on the moon.

Space technology is a theory used to guide how to transform, so as to transform ordinary things on the earth into things suitable for space use, such as food, toilets, large solar panels, robots, and so many aspects involved, enough to consume most of Cao Chuan's time, and he had to do it.

Cao Chuan is lying comfortably inside the base, after 3 months of continuous struggle, the matter of taking root on the moon has finally come to an end, and now he is surfing the Internet.

"The communication protocol problem has been solved, and although there is still a delay, I can go online."

Access to the network means that he is no longer alone, and there are more than billions of netizens in the network who can communicate with him; He will be kept up to date with what's going on on the planet, and won't be left alone behind closed doors.

"News. Ha, sure enough, the loss of contact with the lunar base of the free lighthouse country has caused a lot of ups and downs, how can it be said that no less than 50 billion has been spent, and more than 300 billion has been continuously invested, and the base has not been answered, how to explain it to the taxpayers? ”

In the mood of watching the show, Cao Chuan didn't have the idea of handing over the base, the big deal was to give the lighthouse country a little benefit in the process of leading all mankind to conquer the sea of stars, to make up for his moral uneasiness, and don't think about the rest.

"Organic energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas are facing depletion, and energy organizations expect organic energy prices to rise by 100% in the next five years, and it looks like the soil for planetary development is about to ripen."

"Following the Beacon of Freedom, the Polar Bear, the Night Rabbit and the 13-nation alliance of Europa have announced the launch of the lunar exploration program. Why did the loss of contact with the unmanned base not make people retreat, but even more enthusiastic? ”

There was a lot of news, and after reading it, Cao Chuan did not close the webpage immediately, but went to look at other websites.

"The game... Well, "Civilization 6" was released, "Star Wars Eve II." open beta, and happiness came really suddenly. ”

"If it's new, "EVA3000" is also in production, how do I feel that I have been separated from society for less than half a year, as if it has been hundreds of years in the past?"

"The movies are "Justice League 4", "Transformers 7"..."

"As for the starting novel, there are almost 5 million updated words on the bookshelf..."

On the earth, Cao Chuan is a group known as otaku, even if he soaks in the Internet all day long, he will not feel that there is anything wrong, but he will be accustomed to it, and feel that this is his life.

A whole day passed, and the loneliness that had accumulated for almost half a year was instantly emptied, making him feel refreshed, and more thoughts appeared in his brain.

"It's time to start a new plan, but the time is short, and it is impossible to develop aimlessly, is it towards the field of gene technology, or in the field of unmanned technology?"

The biggest problem in front of Cao Chuan can be said to be the shortage of manpower, if he has thousands of junior brothers under his command, he can rely on the technology he has mastered to instantly develop the lunar base into a lunar city, and when the time comes, he will make spaceships, start wars, and counterattack the earth.

However, human power will not be produced in vain, the more promising is human cloning, if you continue to simulate the rules in the field of life, relying on the existing cloning of animals and cloning organs, you can give birth to the technology of cloning human beings, cloning thousands of people, it will not take too long, and even cloning a mother-in-law version of yourself, even the basic physiological demands have been solved.

Cao Chuan obviously wouldn't be so undisciplined, and besides, the cloning process was still extremely long, not to mention that the clones had not received education and were not easy to use at all.

What seems more realistic is unmanned technology.

Thousands of robots or other unmanned units can be built to work for themselves, to mine minerals on the moon, and to build bases is enough to solve most of the current problems.

The disadvantage of robots is that they are single-functional, and it costs money to upgrade them, but now he is not at the time to think about it.

"In that case, let's develop in the direction of unmanned technology first."

"To start the rule simulation, we must first obtain the theory of unmanned technology.................. The rule simulation was completed and took 31.5 seconds. ”

"The second step is to design a prototype of an unmanned unit, which can be an aircraft, a robot, or a vehicle in any form.................. The rule simulation was completed and took 15.6 seconds. ”

According to the memory in his mind, Cao Chuan took stock of the existing materials inside the lunar base, including external plates, metal frames, circuit boards, connectors, sensors, chips, engines, batteries, etc., and calculated whether he had the materials to complete the production of unmanned units according to the design of the prototype.

Fortunately, in order to prevent the robot from breaking, Lighthouse Nation had already prepared to replace the components, and he soon found that the goal was feasible, so he assembled the first unmanned robot of his own through modification.

"The third step is to design a more practical unmanned mining vehicle, capable of mining conventional ores such as iron ore and copper ore.................. The rule simulation was completed in 220.9 seconds. ”

Looking at the drawings, Cao Chuan was quite satisfied, in a low-gravity environment, the mining vehicle has a daily ore processing capacity of 100 tons, providing 10 tons of carrying, or using electric energy, and even a part-time excavator, to some extent, fully meet the current needs.

Cao Chuan started work in an underground space, using existing materials and assembling two unmanned mining vehicles in a few days.

"The fourth step is to design a robot with maintenance functions, uh, you can also transform a few scientific research robots left by the lighthouse country, in short, I won't be stupid to stay in front of the screen all day and night to operate unmanned units, I don't have a certain amount of intelligence, how can remote control be called truly unmanned, it's basically on the wrong path.................. The rule simulation was completed and took 40.1 seconds. ”

Compared with mechanical, fixed-behavior mining vehicles, small maintenance robots require higher judgment ability, which can determine whether the target is faulty, how to repair it, and implement maintenance, so it has to write more intelligent artificial intelligence. Conversely, in terms of manufacturing, a small maintenance robot is much simpler and easier than a mining vehicle.

"In the fifth step, I need real artificial intelligence to manage unmanned units, or even entire bases, as if they were housekeepers. I'm the boss, so how can I do everything myself? ……………… The rule simulation was in progress and took 320.5 seconds.................. The rules simulation was in progress and took 34 minutes.................. The rule simulation is in progress, which takes 3 hours"

Real artificial intelligence is no less than a breakthrough in technological bottlenecks for today's human beings, and it has milestone significance, so Cao Chuan unfortunately found that his rule simulation seems to have endless signs.
