Chapter 13 Launching Rockets

Days passed, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past two years, the number of Xiao Yu's robots has increased to more than 10,000, and the steelmaking blast furnace has increased to ten, and there are supporting foundries and precision machinery processing plants.

Of course, these factories are built on the base. In the past two years, the base covering an area of one square kilometer has begun to take shape, but it is still in the early stage of construction. It's just that Xiao Yu built some more critical factories first.

After two years, Titan's Shangdu area has changed dramatically.

Xiao Yu's industrial zone, which covers almost a few square kilometers, is brightly lit and full of blast furnaces, and there are countless robots of various models shuttling back and forth in it, busy.

And Xiao Yu is the brain of this huge industrial park. More than 10,000 robots, tens of millions of sensors installed on various equipment, every data transmitted back will be perfectly received by Xiao Yu, and there will be no omission, and at the moment of receipt, Xiao Yu will immediately give instructions for the next step. In other words, Xiao Yu can do tens of millions of things at the same time without the slightest error. This kind of efficiency can only be achieved by Xiao Yu.

That's the power that people and electronic devices can produce when they come together.

"Well, the 13th sensor information in Area B, the temperature is too high? Well, give the order to Controller Sixty-Five to strengthen the cooling system......"

"The 3000 sensor in Section D is no longer receiving data...... Damn, it looks like it's broken again, 970 robot, immediately bring spare parts and go to replace it. ”

All kinds of chaotic but huge information streams kept pouring into Xiao Yu's brain all the time, and Xiao Yu's computer was fully exerted to arrange all kinds of things in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the computing power utilization rate had soared to 95 percent, Xiao Yu sighed with some worry: "Hey, although the computing power of the central computer far exceeds that of similar computers on the earth, it is still a little worse...... Well, let's put the construction of a new computer on the agenda. ”

Xiao Yu could not allow the computer usage rate to increase to 100 percent, because in that case, it would mean that the computer was running at full capacity, and some information would definitely be generated that would not have time to be processed, which could cause a major accident.

Moreover, there is always some computing power left to prevent any accidents.

"If you reduce the production rate by 10 percent and don't build new equipment, you can save about 11 points of computing power, well, and invest all that computing power in the development of new computers."

Xiao Yu thought for a while and made up his mind.

In addition to the problem of computing power limitations, Xiao Yu also sensed another problem.

With the increase in the types of construction factories and the gradual increase in the demand for production, Xiao Yu gradually felt that the current iron ore mine could no longer meet his needs.

It's not that there aren't enough reserves. In fact, with the reserves of this iron ore, even if Xiao Yu mines for another thousand years, he will not be able to finish mining. On top of that, the elemental reserves here are a little more monotonous.

Here, the largest reserves are undoubtedly iron, followed by copper, aluminum, gold and other metals, but some metals necessary for industry, such as rare earths - lanthanides, are much rarer. In the early stage of construction, there was no visible impact, but now, the scarcity of these elements and the limitation of computing power have become the two biggest problems restricting Xiao Yu's development.

Xiao Yu made up his mind: "The new computer can't solve it in a short time, so let's solve this problem first." ”

Xiao Yu went through all the jishu he had collected about helicopter construction before, and added some new jishu obtained during this time, combined with the special environment on Titan, after a month of construction, he finally built a helicopter.

The construction of this helicopter took Xiao Yu another two months.

Placed in the factory, the whole body is black, and it looks like the shape of an upside-down bowl, which is the "Fengshen" No. 1 helicopter caused by Xiao Yu.

The appearance of this helicopter is very different from that of a helicopter on Earth. Speaking of which, it's more like a flying saucer. This is because Xiao Yu has made the latest jishu breakthrough and no longer needs a propeller to gain power. Moreover, with its semi-circular shape, it is possible to obtain the maximum space with the least amount of material.

After doing a series of tests of Zuihou, Xiao Yu's mood became excited: "Then, take off, Fengshen No. 1!" ”

Several jets in the lower part of Fengshen No. 1 suddenly spewed out light blue flames, and under the action of strong anti-thrust, the body of Fengshen No. 1, weighing hundreds of tons, slowly rose, and flew out from the skylight opened by the factory.

Xiao Yu gave an order, and next to Fengshen No. 1, a turning vent spewed out a flame, and suddenly, Fengshen No. 1 flew away directly and disappeared.

Fengshen No. 1 is equipped with the latest mineral exploration equipment, and this voyage is tasked with helping Xiao Yu find minerals.

Fengshen 1 can reach a top speed of three times the speed of sound, and its agility is much higher than that of other aircraft on Earth. For example, Fengshen-1 can hover in the air, take off and land vertically, and fly at extremely high speed and ultra-low altitude, which are unattainable by similar aircraft on the earth.

Looking at the various data transmitted back by Fengshen No. 1, Xiao Yu began to analyze.

"Well, there is an aluminum mine eighty kilometers away from here, but the reserves are too low, the location is too deep, there is no mining value, abandon ......"

"There's a tungsten mine here? The location is also good, but the reserves are a little less. Okay, I'm going to send some robots to survey the site in a while. ”

Xiao Yu manipulated Fengshen 1, about 300 meters from the ground of Titan, in a spiral way, with Xiao Yu's location as the center of the circle, gradually expanding the scope of exploration circle by circle.

When the exploration radius expanded to 500 kilometers, Xiao Yu had to stop his intention to continue exploring. Because this distance is the maximum distance for effective communication, if it is farther, Aeolus 1 will drop below the horizon, because Titan is circular, and when Aeolus 1 falls below the horizon, Titan itself will become the biggest killer of blocking signals. At that time, Xiao Yu will lose control of Fengshen No. 1. Without Xiao Yu's control of Fengshen No. 1, the result could only be a crash.

And it is impossible for Xiao Yu to leave the spaceship he is currently living in and transfer his position to the computer of Fengshen One. The reason is very simple, the computer on Fengshen No. 1 does not have such a huge computing power, and the amount of data generated by the entire base under construction will make it crash instantly, and Xiao Yu will die without accident.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yu let out a wail: "He meows for this rotten plane, I still have to build a satellite?" No, one is not enough, based on the mass and volume of Titan, I would have to build at least twelve satellites to form a signal coverage without dead ends. Twelve satellites! ”

This workload gave Xiao Yu an extreme headache. If the construction starts, it means that Xiao Yu's plan to develop a new type of computer will be postponed, and Xiao Yu naturally cannot allow the twelve satellites to be built with only a simple navigation and communication function, and must also add functions such as observing Saturn, such as observing other satellites, or observing the sun, etc., in this way, Xiao Yu's calculation will be taken up a lot.

"Come on, it's going to be done sooner or later anyway, so it's better to be perfect, just do it once and for all." Xiao Yu thought for a while, and had to endure the pain of postponing the research on a new type of computer again, and reduced the construction rate of the base by ten percentage points, and started the construction of satellites and launch rockets with all his might.

Xiao Yu plans to play big this time. On Earth, countries that have mastered high-end technology may launch two or more satellites at the same time with a single rocket, called Jishu with one arrow and multiple stars. This jishu is very high-end, and ordinary countries can't afford to play it at all.

However, Xiao Yu plans to get a 12-star shot this time to play.

Yes, that's right, 12 stars with one stone! With one rocket, twelve satellites are launched at the same time.

Xiao Yu did this to save construction resources. After all, the rocket is a big guy and a disposable, if it is launched twelve times in a row, with Xiao Yu's current metal output, especially the output of rare metals, it will be directly hit into the poor class. If it is only launched once, although a single rocket will consume more resources, in total, it is not known how much it will be saved compared to launching twelve times.

However, killing one stone and twelve stars is also a challenge for Xiao Yu. Because of this kind of thing, Xiao Yu has never done it before.

If it weren't for the fact that this is Titan, the gravitational force is much smaller than that of the Earth, the height of the launch and the speed that need to be achieved are much smaller than that of the Earth, and the corresponding difficulty is much smaller, Xiao Yu would not dare to make such an attempt.

This time, it took Xiao Yu two months to complete the construction of the rocket and satellite.

Inside the huge factory building, a huge rocket with a height of ten meters stands vertically. That's right, compared to the rocket on Earth, which is forty or fifty meters high at every turn, this ten-meter rocket can be regarded as a small guy.

On the earth, the height of rockets is generally forty or fifty meters, and the main reason is that rockets on the earth are generally three-stage rockets, because only in this way can the rocket have enough power to send the satellite into an orbit around the earth for hundreds of kilometers.

But Xiao Yu is different here. Titan's gravitational pull is small, its orbital altitude is low, and correspondingly, it requires a lot less from the rocket. So Xiao Yu's rocket only has one stage.

In fact, if it weren't for the launch of twelve satellites at once, Xiao Yu could have transformed the rocket to only seven meters high.
