Chapter 305: Deep Space Laboratory

This control range is both big and small. The Temporal Tree is equivalent to a sphere with a radius of 750,000 kilometers, and as long as it is within the range of this sphere, it can be well controlled remotely for humanoid bionic robots and other remotely controlled equipment.

That is, a sphere with a diameter of 1.5 million kilometers. You must know that the distance between the moon and the earth is 380,000 kilometers, which is a huge space.

But this also has to be compared with what. Theoretically, the closest distance between Earth and Mars is 55 million kilometers, and the farthest distance is more than 400 million kilometers.

The distance from the Sun to Neptune is more than 4.4 billion kilometers. 750,000 kilometers is nothing compared to these.

Ning Qiao nodded and said: "This is no way, unless we can make the transmission speed of information exceed the speed of light, obviously, according to the current basic theory of physics, this is impossible to achieve." "According to the existing basic theories of physics, it is impossible for all matter carrying information to travel faster than the speed of light.

To put it bluntly, there is no superluminal speed in the universe under the current theory of physics. Su Zhe said: "It is true that the current theory cannot support the transmission of information faster than the speed of light, but the current basic theory of physics is not perfect, maybe when we can come up with a new theory of physics, and can support the existence of faster than the speed of light." "This issue has been talked about before.

Not only did he talk to Fan Xiaoming, but he also organized a large-scale seminar. At the workshop, there was support for all kinds of speculation.

However, it is certain that the current basic theories of physics are not perfect, so the existence of faster-than-light cannot be denied 100 percent.

More people believe that there are more new physical theories waiting to be discovered. The existence of faster-than-light is just not discovered.

Mao Zhenguo nodded and said: "Yes, it is difficult to say whether information can be transmitted faster than the speed of light, but I think that information can be transmitted faster than the speed of light, after all, the universe is too big, the speed of light is too slow, if the speed of light is not surpassed, this is not logical." "The universe is so vast, if some of the universe can't exceed the speed of light, he thinks it's ridiculous.

"Our Jiutian Research Center is conducting research on the speed of light, and it is accurate to study the instantaneous transmission of information technology, which is not much progress now." Su Zhe explained,

"Regardless of whether the development of instantaneous information transmission technology can be realized in the end, there will be a lot to be gained in the process of research." Now, no one can say for sure that it will be possible to develop the technology of instantaneous transmission of information.

However, in the process of research it makes sense. Mao Zhenguo said with some excitement: "I think it is invincible to be able to develop information instantaneous transmission technology, and then cooperate with the combination of brain and computer technology." "Brain-computer combination technology allows the brain and the network to be directly connected together, but because of the problem of information transmission time, the distance between the remote control humanoid bionic robot and the controller cannot be too large.

According to the current situation, the control can only effectively control the humanoid bionic robot and related equipment within a range of 750,000 kilometers.

Such a small space is too small for the entire universe. In his view, the most ideal is the instantaneous transmission of information.

In this way, humans can remotely control humanoid bionic robots on Earth to explore and develop the entire universe.

The three of them chatted for a while before ending the discussion. Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao, led by Mao Zhenguo, visited the deep space laboratory under construction.

The Deep Space Laboratory was originally intended to study very poor microwave radiation spectrometers, but now HKUST is directly involved.

It's also a lot bigger. Mao Zhenguo pointed to a huge simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine and said: "This engine is a big one, it can provide 5,000 tons of power, and the entire laboratory needs to be equipped with ten such engines, you see on the other side, there is a sixth-generation nuclear fission reactor under construction." "The deep space laboratory has completely changed now.

In the beginning, the Deep Space Laboratory was larger than the International Space Station, but now, the Deep Space Laboratory has become a behemoth.

After many revisions, the final version was a big one three kilometers long, one kilometer wide, and a hundred meters high.

According to the university's plan, the Deep Space Laboratory will be built into an experimental base for HKUST in outer space.

It's also the kind of experimental base that can fly all over the solar system. Speaking of which, after Lingzhou University of Technology decided to build a high-energy space city and USTC decided to build a deep space laboratory, domestic universities and research institutes have their own ideas.

Universities and research institutes themselves have the strength to build their own outer space laboratories.

If the strength is a little worse, then it will be jointly built between universities and research institutes. Right now, everyone is gearing up.

Temporal said that these are outer space laboratories, but in fact, they are the stations of universities and research institutes in space, or branch campuses and the like.

Su Zhe visited carefully,

"Yes, look at the progress and the construction of the laboratory will be completed soon." This deep space laboratory is more like a laboratory than a small mobile space city.

Three kilometers long, one kilometer wide, and one hundred meters high! It's hard for anyone to believe that it's a laboratory, but it's a laboratory.

Of course, this deep space laboratory can't compete with the high-energy space city that the school is building. After all, the diameter of the high-energy space city is 1,000 kilometers, and it is a super giant, which cannot be compared with the deep space laboratory.

"It will take some time for the main part to be completed quickly, but the equipment of the relevant laboratory is still being prepared, and it is estimated that it will take three months to fully complete it, and then it will be able to go to space three million kilometers from the earth," explained Ning Qiaoqiao. ”

"Understood." Su Zhe nodded,

"Three months, it is possible to catch up with the successful development of the brain computer, but considering the distance of the deep space probe, it is not possible for personnel to stay on the earth for remote control, and personnel need to go." Ning Qiaoqiao nodded and said: "The resident staff of the deep space laboratory can reach 10,000, as for the brain computer, I am looking forward to it, by the way, I have applied to join the landing on Mars in two months, and after the landing on Mars, the next step is to enter the deep space laboratory to study the extremely poor microwave radiation spectrometer." ”

"Yes! Then we can go to Mars together. Su Zhe said,

"The number of people who landed on Mars this time has reached 30,000, and I believe that the landing scene must be very spectacular." The landing of 30,000 people on Mars will be a landmark event for mankind to go into space.

For this landing on Mars, many parties are already sitting and preparing in full swing. Supplies and supporting facilities are being prepared.

In terms of the material aspect, it is also a big challenge. For example, the daily consumption of 30,000 people. According to the plan, 10,000 of the 30,000 will return to Earth within a month, and 20,000 will stay on Mars for three months.

The consumption of so many people, for so many days, is enormous. And these consumables have to be transported from the earth beforehand.

This is just the material consumed by personnel, and the material for the construction of a permanent base on Mars, the material for the construction of a spaceport on Mars.

In addition to the material, there is also the construction of supporting facilities. The landing on Mars this time is different from the landing on the moon. The first thing to do is to lay out network systems and energy systems on Mars.

The former is quite simple to arrange, and the layout of the network system has been completed. The latter is the energy system.

In fact, it is to cover the light pillar project in the past, and when the spaceport and permanent base are completed, they can receive the energy provided by the light pillar project.

This is being done, for example, when I saw solar energy harvesting stations and light energy transmission stations being built, including one covering Mars.

"What? The development of the brain-computer can be completed in two months, is it so fast? Mao Zhenguo asked in surprise.

Su Zhe nodded and said, "Hey, didn't I say it before?" Then let me emphasize again that we will soon be able to complete the development of brain-computer technology, and as for the brain-computer, we will strive to complete the development before landing on Mars, so that we can use the brain-computer in the process of landing on Mars, which will be a lot more convenient. ”

"Yes! Yes! That's great. Mao Zhenguo said excitedly,

"I also participated in this landing on Mars, and it seems that this landing on Mars will become very interesting, especially after having a brain." These landings on Mars are unprecedented.

30,000 landed on Mars. It's a little scary to be honest. People are more interested in landing on Mars than landing on the moon.

You know, for a long time, everyone regarded Mars as the hope for the future of mankind, and immigrated to Mars as the goal to pursue.

In his opinion, the most suitable place for human habitation is the earth. But human beings cannot stay on the earth all the time, and it is inevitable for human beings to go out of the earth.

Out of the earth, human beings must create an environment suitable for human survival. For example, building a space city, transforming other planets, etc., take the initiative to create an environment suitable for human survival.

As for an environment like Earth, he felt that there was no second place in the universe. He felt that in the universe, human beings are unique, and the earth is also unique, and it is impossible to find a second earth in the universe.

This time, 30,000 people landed on Mars, and after completion, the full development of Mars was followed. In fact, after the relevant data on Mars is gradually improved, the full-scale development of Mars has begun.

For the transformation of Mars that has been often mentioned before, such as the nuclear explosion of Mars, these large-scale modifications have been directly rejected by most people from the beginning.

Not to mention whether the large-scale transformation can be successful, it will definitely take a long, long time, and we can't afford to wait for such a long time.

Everyone is in favor of building a space city in space, and building a city on Mars like on the moon.

People tend to use Mars as a short-term resource. As more and more probes are on Mars, more and more Mars data is being detected.

There is a lot of water in the north and south poles of Mars and underground, and Mars is rich in mineral resources.

The general opinion is to use Mars as a springboard for the development of the entire solar system. In addition, a large number of resources have been found in the asteroid belt, and the three asteroids with a diameter of more than 400 kilometers are extremely rich in mineral resources.

Among them, a large number of heavy metal ores have been found on the planet Homo sapiens, such as those rare heavy metals. In the past six months, the research on rare metals has blossomed in an all-round way.

After the introduction of rare metals, the performance of related metal materials has been greatly improved, coupled with the advent of the space age, the demand for related metal materials has increased significantly.

The demand for high-performance materials such as those with rare metals has increased dramatically. Naturally, the demand for rare metals has increased dramatically.

There is also the star Ceres, which has a diameter of 950 kilometers. Large areas of high-content open-pit iron ore have been found on the surface of Ceres.

These are much-needed resources. Ning Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Yes, once the brain-computer is developed, it will be very easy for us to land on Mars at this point." ”

"We're going to work hard to get people to use their brains before we land on Mars." Su Zhe said seriously.

It's easy to say, but it's still very difficult to actually operate. There are still two months left before they all land on Mars.

They must complete the development of brain-computer integration technology, and also complete the development of brain-computer. The former is not very difficult, just find all the information nodes of the human brain step by step, or the information that is needed.

In a few more days, the research and development of brain-computer technology can be completed. The latter is the development of a brain-computer, and there are difficulties, but they can all be overcome.

To put it bluntly, the difficulty of the brain computer is actually miniaturization. In addition to these two, the others are brain-computer matching, or upgrades of other devices.

The most typical is the upgrade of humanoid bionic robots and the upgrade of construction machinery and engineering mechas. On the other hand, the difficulty of upgrading construction machinery and engineering mecha is much smaller, as long as the software is upgraded, it is basically the same, and there are only a few parts of the hardware that need to be upgraded.

Humanoid bionic robots are different. Whether it is software or hardware, it is necessary to do a comprehensive upgrade, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a redesign.

The upgraded humanoid bionic robot is not much different from the human body, especially if it is controlled by a brain-computer.

The human body has the sensations that humanoid bionic robots have. 30,000 people land on Mars, and the brain computer needs at least 30,000, and if you count the backup, you have to prepare 40,000 anyway.

As for humanoid bionic robots, 30,000 is definitely not enough, and 100,000 is needed in a conservative estimate. There is a lot of work to be done to accomplish this in two months, but there are also a lot of people involved.

More than 30 million people participated in the brain-computer combination technology, the upgrading of brain-computer, humanoid bionic robots, and the upgrading of construction machinery and engineering mecha.

That's a conservative number.

"We're working together." Mao Zhenguo smiled,

"I'm excited when I think about the brain-computer, as long as I bring a brain-computer like a headband, I can connect the brain to the network, not only to enter the virtual universe, but also to remotely control the humanoid bionic robot, as well as augmented reality, which is amazing." Thinking of these, he unconsciously thought of the augmented reality glasses developed by Qingda.

To be honest, the augmented reality glasses developed by Tsingda are also very good, which can be compared with the brain-computer equipped with brain-computer combination technology.

There is no comparison at all. If you really want to say it, you can only say that the great luck is not good. Now that Qingda also knows these news, it is estimated that ......
