Chapter 7 Be an astronaut
When Lu Yu was considering the commission of the black card, Lan Xing was also not idle.
An assembly center in Huaguo.
This high-tech factory, which covers an area of hundreds of acres, gathers and manufactures parts of China's cutting-edge aerospace equipment, provides cloud information services by super quantum computers, and realizes completely unmanned standardized production through a series of automation equipment such as assembly lines, multi-axis electric drive robotic arms, large and small logistics vehicles, cargo drones, etc.
If you look at it from the outside, the core assembly plant actually has a trace of the smell of the base car in "Red Alert", and a steady stream of parts are sent in, and when they come out, they are already finished products.
The gigafactory is preparing various space shuttles for the Huaguo Deep Space Project, which will be responsible for transporting them back and forth between the ground and space orbits!
In the real sense, it is actually difficult for a spaceship to be formed on a planet and take off when the level of civilization and technology is not enough.
Because of the huge size and terrible mass of the spaceship, it needs to be freed from gravity, first of all, the spaceship material is a big problem, otherwise it will not be able to resist the huge body of the ship that may be torn apart at any time from the gravitational effect, and secondly, it also needs to be able to provide a huge thrust engine, and most of the fuel that such a spacecraft can carry can only be consumed in the early stage of launch.
The engineers at Base Zero referred to the construction of the early spaceships of the Horned and Lizard civilizations, and determined the first step to establish a forward base in the asteroid belt - to build the first space factory of mankind at the Lagrange point of the Earth!
The main parts of the spaceship that Huaguo will go to the asteroid belt will be continuously launched from the blue star to complete the assembly, and the energy comes from the helium-3 that can already be exported on the moon, and when everything is ready, it will be launched directly into the asteroid belt in space.
"What used to take us two or three months to assemble an aircraft now takes only one night...... It can even be done in a few hours. ”
"Has technology advanced productivity to this point?"
Standing in awe on the lookout platform of this behemoth, Professor Mao, the head of the advance base, sighed, while a group of senior engineers and executives of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group accompanied him diligently
"What are you doing?"
A sturdy man who looked like a middle-aged man walked in with a hard hat: "Lao Mao, when you were still in our system, we had a fart space shuttle!" ”
"Hello Chief Engineer Guo!"
"Guo Gong is good!"
Of course, the one who dared to speak like this in front of Professor Mao was his old acquaintance, and it was all thanks to this Chief Engineer Guo at the beginning that the command center quickly determined that the Silver Star was not a creation of an alien civilization.
Originally, he was supposed to be at the age of taking a back seat, but thanks to genetic resonance technology, he looked like a middle-aged person.
"That's right!"
Professor Mao also showed a sudden realization: "I have seen too many things over the years, and I have forgotten them." ”
Those who tried their best to show their faces in front of Professor Mao were all kicked out by themselves, and Guo Gongcai asked, "Although you are no longer the person in charge of Base Zero, at least you are still a lifelong advisor, right?" ”
"If you don't keep the ultimate secret of your universe, why did you come out to inspect it yourself? Isn't it enough to see all of them in virtual reality? ”
Professor Mao smiled bitterly: "The group of people engaged in theoretical research at Base Zero are going crazy now, and the existence of the ultimate civilization of the Rebooter has simply challenged human science, at least now a bunch of people have begun to discuss deism." (Note 1)
Deism holds that the Creator, as the cause of the world, no longer intervenes in the affairs of the world after the creation of the world, but allows the world to exist and develop according to its own laws.
This theory itself is a philosophical thought, which opposes obscurantism and mysticism, and denies superstition and all kinds of "miracles" that violate the laws of nature; Therefore, it is also known as rational deism, many famous scientists believe in this theory, Einstein advocated this point and believed in self-confession theism, which was passed on by many editors and became theology in his later years.
"According to the description of the black card, those rebooters are almost the so-called creators, right?"
"In order to block the civilizations of the whole universe, they will break through to the cosmic civilization on their own, and they will turn into a cosmic constant or something at each singularity big bang."
"Can you imagine that everything that makes us up has their handiwork?"
"And ......"
………
"Why are you babbling?"
Guo Gong was also about to expand on this topic, but Professor Mao hurriedly interrupted: "It's just that my ears are calloused when I listen to this, and you can't be pragmatic when you engage in scientific research, don't think about the ultimate in the universe first, and do a good job in the current work first." ”
"Great to great, the biggest hurdle for Blue Star now should be the unknown fleet that will reach the solar system in fifteen years, right?"
Guo Gong touched his helmet and replied seriously: "Don't worry! We have even deducted the space shuttle that is preparing to fly to the moon base, and we will definitely fully support the work of the Lagrange Point Space Factory. ”
"The assembly center in front of you is already producing 1,000 tons of parts in the second phase. The first phase of 700 tons of parts has already been sent to various launch centers. ”
"According to the plan, the main framework of mankind's first space factory will be completed at the beginning of next month, and mankind's first real spacecraft will be assembled in half a year."
It was the first time for Guo Gong to fight such a rich battle, and the productivity reflected in the aerospace industry simply made it really take off, but then he said with some worry: "Compared with time, in fact, I am more concerned about the completion of all this in space, which means that we all have to complete it in foreign observations, will it be ......?"
Professor Mao looked at the efficient unmanned automated factory outside, and said confidently and proudly: "Even if they show them the whole process, can they still reproduce a space factory?" ”
"NASA, which has been restarted for several years, has not yet been able to return to the moon?"
……………
Soon after, the Huaguo launch base, which was advertised to be the most spectacular spacecraft launch scene ever seen by mankind, was already crowded with tourists as the observation deck built outside the base.
"I'm out of the cabin and I'm in good shape!"
A lively boy pointed to the launch base and shouted, and more children followed.
And by this time, it was time to launch, and everyone followed the live broadcast and counted down.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
……
"One!"
The lyricist once described the beautiful scenery like this: more blowing down, the stars are like rain.
And now those space shuttles struggling to break free from gravity and point straight into the sky, as if they are hanging their horizons upside down, they are like brilliant stars gushing out of the blue star.
Visitors watched as blue flames continued to erupt from the engines of spacecraft that were getting taller and taller, as if they were watching dozens of meteors streak across the sky.
"In the army that conquers the universe, I am the one who silently dedicates!"
"I melt the brilliance into the constellation of the motherland!"
I don't know who sang first, and the scene continued to sing, intertwined with the sound of the engine, and played the most charming symphony.
"Mom! Mom! ”
In the midst of singing, the boy suddenly pulled his mother next to him and said, "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up!" To explore the starry sky for our country, for our human beings! ”
