Chapter 658: Sociology of Technology
Galaxy 11, March 5.
Saturn System - Titan.
This is one of the living planets under the Saturn Colony Branch, and the Homo sapiens company, which has obtained the life metal technology, has reached an extremely high level in planetary transformation and construction.
A planet similar to Titan only takes about half a year to complete the initial transformation.
However, Titan's gravity is not suitable for humans, so only a few of the sync robots are working here.
Li Qingye planned to come to Saturn Colonial Branch to investigate, so naturally it was impossible to only inspect the project of the Civilization Flame Scientific Research Base.
This time, he came to Saturn for a week-long expedition.
The first stop is Titan.
At this time, there is a huge artificial star ring above the equator of Titan, and the pillars of the ring are pierced deep into the stratum of Titan.
The material used to construct the Star Ring is "borrowed" from the database of the intelligent machine civilization, which is similar to six-claw silicon steel, and its core components are silicon, aluminum, calcium, and iron, and the material is named "Yongji Alloy".
The name Yongji Alloy comes from the Zhiji family, because this alloy is used by the Zhiji family as the "eternal base material".
Li Qingye appeared in the spaceport of the Star Ring with several assistants through the synchronization robot.
There are components of Yongji alloy everywhere, and this material can be widely used in the intelligent machine civilization, which naturally has its advantages.
As the basic material of the interstellar era, it usually has several characteristics, that is, rich raw materials, low difficulty in production and processing, and can carry out a variety of secondary modifications.
Yongji alloy is obviously one such material.
By doping 0.63% carbon with 0.041 molybdenum, the material becomes a high-temperature resistant alloy that can withstand 5038 degrees Celsius without melting.
Otherwise, the star ring pillar made of this material would not be able to penetrate tens of thousands of meters underground.
Coming down from the spaceport, he came to the ancient city on the surface of Titan.
The core work of the Eternal Layer is mining, and it also works as a scientific research base.
Augustus, the local city manager, introduced him: "Chairman, this is the nano-mining airship. ”
A huge airship was flying slowly in the orange sky.
This airship is actually the same model as the transport airship of Homo sapiens on the other side of the earth, but even if it is the same model, the payload of this airship is several times that of the same model on the earth.
This is because the concentration of Titan's atmosphere is about 1.5 times that of Earth, and the gravity of Titan is similar to that of the Moon, and these two factors combine to naturally increase the payload of the transport airship.
"Nanomining? Is it the application of life metals? ”
Augustus explained with a smile: "We put life metals in this part of the mining area, and then the mined minerals were turned into cubes, and finally transported by transport airship to the ancient city of Gengu for further processing. ”
Li Qingye is not too worried about the application of new technologies, after all, Homo sapiens is not the same as the free world.
In order to avoid the rapid obsolescence of production lines, the free world may deliberately not introduce new technologies and use new technologies as technical reserves.
The company has surpassed the capital operation stage of the company's development and entered a new stage of self-circulation.
As long as new technologies can improve productivity and development, the management of Homo sapiens will not refuse to innovate technology.
This is due to the essential difference between the two.
Li Qingye watched a transport airship, transporting a large amount of minerals to the deep processing factory in the ancient city, which was several orders of magnitude faster than before.
If it is mined at full capacity, it is estimated that it will not take more than ten years to hollow out the crust of Titan, and then expose the underground magma layer.
Li Qingye turned his head to look at Augustus: "The ecosystem of the Titan Star needs to be maintained, after all, this is a living planet, and it has great reference value." ”
Augustus hurriedly replied: "Chairman, the Saturn Colony Branch has made relevant plans to ensure that the mining activities will not seriously affect the original creatures of Titan. ”
"That's good."
Half an hour later, Li Qingye came to the Titan Star Biological Research Institute in the ancient city.
There are all kinds of original biological samples of Titan Star in it, and the original organisms of Titan Star are all microorganisms, and there are no multicellular organisms.
This point has a high reference value for studying the evolution of life on the planet.
After all, there are many planets that can give birth to microorganisms, but there are very few planets that can evolve complex multicellular organisms.
At present, there are only the earth and Venus in the solar system, and there are complex multicellular organisms, and the multicellular organisms under the moon are relatively primitive, which is estimated to have a lot to do with energy and resources.
Titan also did not evolve multicellular organisms, which is equivalent to early Earth.
Dr. Richard, who was in charge of the institute, saw Li Qingye come over in person, and his face showed irrepressible excitement: "Mr. Chairman, I am very happy to meet you. ”
Li Qingye shook the other party's hand: "Hello, Dr. Richard!" Let's get used to working with synchronous robots! ”
"It's okay, it's easy to confuse the ontology and the synchronization robot." Dr. Richard was a little helpless.
For this, Li Qingye deeply agrees.
In the early synchronous robots, the synchronization experience was still relatively poor, but there was no confusion between the ontology and the synchronous robot.
But later, with the advancement of technology, the synchronous robot can not only transmit sound and picture synchronously, but also feel the sense of touch, smell, and taste synchronously, and the head of the synchronous robot can 100% simulate the user's face and expression.
This has caused many people to confuse ontology and synchronous robots in the process of using synchronous robots for a long time.
Even if some signs are made for the sake of distinction, there is still no way to completely change that confusion.
In order to reduce the related mental illness, the company has adopted strict commuting and clock-out schedules for employees who use synchronous robots to work, and at the same time extended vacation time.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]
As long as there is regular use of synchronous robots, coupled with long vacations, mental illness can be effectively curbed.
The impact of a technology on society in the process of application is a sociology that must be studied clearly.
A lot of technology is a double-edged sword.
For example, Internet technology, this technology is a typical double-edged sword, and the sociology of technology is to study how to apply technology, reduce the side effects of technology, and improve the positive effects brought by technology.
Why is it that after human civilization entered the 21st century, there were demons dancing in various regions?
The reason is that the sociology of technology is not up to the mark, and the side effects of technology in the application process have not been effectively curbed, and have even been amplified by forces and groups with ulterior motives.
In Li Qingye's view, the sociology of technology is as important as the technology itself.
The consequence of the application of technology without a bottom line is the formation of a social atmosphere without a bottom line, which leads to the development of civilization going astray.
