Chapter 21 Recycling and Decentralization

At this moment, Chen Yue realized that his development of Ganymede had reached a limit in scale.

After all, Callisto's size is here, it's so big, and there are so many minerals and resources on it.

According to the previous plan, at this moment, it is time to shift from the pursuit of scale to the pursuit of quality.

Chen Yue needs more precise processing capabilities, more powerful machines, equipment with higher reliability and lower energy consumption, faster transportation speeds, and faster calculation speeds......

Of course, a shift in goal does not mean that previous efforts are in vain. Chen Yue has a very clear understanding of this.

He knows that the premise of pursuing quality is to first have a large enough scale. Without scale, everything is in the air. That's why, in the first few decades, he has been able to scale up his industry to cover the entire planet as quickly as possible.

With this scale, I finally have the qualifications to pursue quality.

So after the New Year of the 76th year of the new calendar, Chen Yue's development model changed abruptly.

Large-scale construction stopped. From this point on, Chen Yue will basically not build new factories or extend the railway line.

Instead, it is a little bit of iteration, little by little upgrade.

It's like a power plant.

In the past, it might have taken two kilograms of ice to burn with the corresponding oxygen to generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity. But now, Chen Yue is pursuing higher thermal efficiency. He began to try to improve the utilization rate of heat energy, and strive to achieve 1.9 kilograms, even 1.8, 1.7, and finally one kilogram of ice tolin to generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity.

The original extensive management model, as well as the idea of "will" that everything else does not matter if it can be used, has been completely abandoned at this moment.

Chen Yue began to strive for perfection and find faults.

What's that? This part will cause a reduction in accuracy of 1/10,000?

It doesn't work, so I'm going to work on making higher-performance parts right away.

This part has a reliable working time of only 9000 hours? Parts manufactured by another process can be reliably worked up to 10% longer, but consumed 60% more energy?

Start with reliable working hours. Energy consumption? Find a way to come down.

As long as there is a little improvement, a little breakthrough, under Chen Yue's extremely high execution, this new technology will be applied in all industrial scenarios immediately.

This may be as much as a 0.01% efficiency gain, but a cost increase of as much as 10%.

But Chen Yue didn't care.

One is a 0.01% increase, a hundred times is 1%, and 10,000 times is a double increase. Improving 100,000 times is a new technological subversion, a leap in technology and technology.

Throughout the history of human civilization, every major technological leap has been achieved by accumulating bits and pieces of technology.

Now, Chen Yue has also embarked on this path.

He knew that this step was indispensable if he wanted to realize his dream of traveling the universe and reviving humanity.

With Chen Yue's excellence, gradually, the originally scattered and messy industrial facilities were slowly organized.

They have beautiful factories, high-tech appearances at first glance, and the internal factories are no longer messy wiring, no tools and stupid robots at first glance, replaced by a near-vacuum environment, neat and uniform machines.

A large number of older machines are remelted and re-transformed into ingots and aluminium sheets, which are then processed into new, higher-performing parts by the foundry after the process has been upgraded.

A large number of rails have been directly dismantled and rebuilt, and the newly laid rails are stronger, more stable, and less prone to deformation, which can support the train to pass at a faster speed.

A large number of robots go straight back to the recycling bin on their own, where they are dismantled into parts. On the new robot production line, many new robots are being produced in a queue.

Compared to their predecessors, they are less energy-intensive, more sensitive, and more reliable, but the time, energy consumption and cost of producing them have been greatly reduced.

On another road, Chen Yue's industrial capacity once again began to gallop.

In this process, Chen Yue gradually realized that his computing power was about to run out.

The usage rate of the central computer of the Glowing spacecraft has been maintained at more than 90% all year round. Occasionally, when encountering large scientific research tasks, the utilization rate will soar to more than 95%.

This is, of course, because Chen Yue began to pursue "industrial upgrading". The research and development of a large number of new processes and technologies consumed too much computing power. But it was something he had to do.

"We have to find a way to improve the computing power. If the computing power is not enough, there is no way to improve the technology. ”

After a hundred years of abundant computing power, when the threat of "insufficient computing power" was just showing a little hint, Chen Yue finally had to think about how to solve this problem.

First of all, the option of making a more advanced computer for your own use can be ruled out without hesitation.

Because it's simply not possible to do it.

Even though the "industrial upgrading" has been carried out for more than ten years, the most advanced chip that Chen Yue can manufacture has just improved its process from 130 nanometers to 65 nanometers.

This leap is fast enough, but the 65-nanometer process is still at least 20 years away from the 7-nanometer process of the central computer of the Luminous spacecraft.

I don't know how many iterations and how many improvements I need to make to reach 7nm.

Secondly, those chips looted from the Martian base are also unusable.

Because they're already in use.

Chen Yue has played an important role in placing them in key nodes of his industrial facilities. There is no way to dismantle it and use it for other purposes.

So...... What to do?

"It's time to reclaim the hash power."

Chen Yue thought silently.

At this stage, Chen Yue's perception has spread to every end of all his industrial facilities. Every movement of every robot, every movement of every track, and every change of direction of every train were personally commanded and manipulated by Chen Yue.

This results in an extreme increase in efficiency and coordination.

You can never go wrong with the machine. There will never be waste or mistakes.

Now, Chen Yue plans to recycle all this computing power. That is, give up all control over the end of the industrial facility and "delegate" the underlying chip to control itself.

This will inevitably lead to a certain reduction in efficiency and coordination. However, in order to regain computing power to do more important things, the reduction of efficiency and coordination cannot be taken care of for the time being.

"It's still not enough computing power."

Chen Yue sighed silently: "If only there was enough computing power." ”
