Chapter 820 The Moon Palace Project (4K)

Production tools, also known as labor tools, are objects used by people to process labor objects in the production process.

The continuous improvement and development of production tools marks the continuous enhancement of people's ability to control nature. The development level of production tools is a measure of human's control over nature and an important indicator of the development level of social productivity.

Marx once said: "The difference between various economic eras lies not in what is produced, but in how to produce and with what means of labor. The means of labor are not only a measuring instrument for the development of human labor force, but also an indication of the social relations through which labor is carried out. device."

The thousand-year recorded history of human beings also reflects the quality and quantity of production tools, which determine the breadth and depth of people changing and conquering nature, and determine the type and quantity of material materials people obtain.

For these machine creations that have not been endowed with primary artificial intelligence AI, even if some of them look very human-like, Gu Qing will not have empathy for these machines.

Even if these robots are purely domestically produced from manufacturing materials to programming, they can be the treasures of R\u0026D personnel and the best helpers in labor, but they must not be sentient beings.

Because once the robot's level breaks through a certain limit, the various problems it will bring will be immeasurable.

Of course, the most important thing is "wisdom", which is not a "thing" that can be easily born and popularized.

"Are you ready?"

Gu Qing asked the middle-aged man beside him who liked to chew on straws.

Lu Ming, a man who came to Kyushu Technology, when his colleagues developed miraculous products one after another, he liberated his nature on a certain moonlit night, and began to go wild on the road of industrial robots, eating, living and experimenting. Base, one of the directors of the industrial robot research and development project of Titan Star Department.

After hearing Gu Qing's question, Lu Ming nodded.

"In fact, last year, this project had already taken shape. Now that more resources have been invested, there will definitely be no problem in completing the first phase."

"Then let's start, build the base first."

As soon as Gu Qing gave the order, the shaking workshop stopped immediately.

Then robots of all sizes began to leave the center of the workshop in an orderly manner. Although it is said to be a workshop, the height of the building floor is as high as ten meters.

After the site was cleared, excavators and bulldozers began to move.

After the ground leveled off, a tank-like machine slowly drove to the central area, and its tracks printed a firm trace on the ground.

Then the ground of this site began to shake, and dust would fly from time to time.

After half an hour passed, the tank left gracefully, and a dark cave suddenly appeared in the center of the venue.

Then a transport vehicle drove to the side of the cave, and with the help of hydraulic unloading equipment, a small house-like module was placed above the cave, covering the dark cave tightly.

Then the module is expanded, and there are component interfaces appearing one by one. And other industrial robots began to install various construction equipment and transmission devices.

In the very center of the module, a circular opening was opened, exposing the dark cave inside.

Afterwards, pipes began to be erected to align with this opening, and silver liquid was poured into it.

"This expanded material has excellent shaping ability when it just reacts, but after two hours of low-temperature treatment, it will become a material stronger than concrete, which can be used as a temporary moon base. foundation.

Moreover, after the module is placed, there will be sensors to detect the depth of the foundation and the condition of the soil and rock layers, and there will be extended auxiliary plastic pipes extending down to ensure the stability of the base. "

Lu Ming introduced from the side that although the advancement of these projects often takes tens of minutes or even hours, everyone present did not feel irritated.

Watching the excavator digging the road can make a group of old men stand and watch for a long time, let alone this kind of engineering project that can flatten the base in just half a day?

Industrial robots are not limited to stereotyped shapes. They can be crawler vehicles, large ants, or a large wheel. And the role they play is also strange.

Tracked vehicles are either unmanned, transporting various materials, or loaded with components with different functions to dig stones, collect soil, and obtain materials.

And that kind of large, ant-like robot manipulates several mechanical arms in an orderly manner. One side is loaded with tools to disassemble parts and expand parts. The other side can also weld with one hand and measure with the other.

Each module needs to be precisely measured, and the butt installation can only be done after the inspection is correct.

Whenever a component is installed, the software program and hardware inspection will start multiple self-inspections, and the airtightness is the top priority. This is followed by the extended installation of the next component.

The robotic arm technology, which has been "played" by the R\u0026D personnel of the Titan star department for so many years, is like a real human martial arts master at this time.

Although there is still a mechanical sense, the construction of the installation base of each module is advancing in an orderly manner.

Whenever a link is outstanding or an important link is reached, the person in charge of this link will come forward and explain to Gu Qing.

Mechanical engineering and automation, mechanical and electronic engineering, material science and engineering, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, electronic information engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering and technology, engineering mechanics, computer science and technology, software engineering... almost every engineering The elites in the industry will stay in front of Gu Qing for a while, and some even have to go back and forth several times.

This is just a lunar base construction project. Although the things these industrial robots do are as simple as "children's play house", there are many considerations for even a special design of a track.

According to statistics, the entire lunar base construction project has directly involved the research and development efforts of tens of thousands of engineers.

Putting it in an ordinary enterprise, it is simply impossible to support a team of this size and invest in R\u0026D.

After so many years of cooperation, Gu Qing and many of them often live and board in the same room, so they are not "nodding acquaintances", and they are not ignorant of the project.

After Gu Qing and his party had lunch, the previously exposed foundation modules had completely disappeared from sight. In the originally chaotic workshop, a closed base similar to a breeding shed had stood upright now. architecture.

It's just that there is a round eggshell-like roof in the middle of the base, and the core building in the middle of the base is also like an oval egg, lying on the ground.

"The current planned configuration of the first column of bases in the Moon Palace Project can be generally divided into three parts, namely a core base and two subsidiary bases.

During construction and operation, the maximum capacity of the combination of the three bases can be three football fields.

The docking ports of the two subsidiary bases are at the core base, that is, the left and right ends of the sphere, forming a T-shaped configuration, and the remaining two ports can be connected to the manned spaceship base and the external transportation base.

The core base of Yuegong No. 1 is the center of our entire Yuegong base in Kyushu, and it is also the control hall of the entire base. It is used for unified control and management of the base assembly, control of various industrial robots, and provides a place for the base personnel to live and work. At the same time, it supports Conduct scientific research projects.

Each base is equipped with system equipment such as oxygen-generating equipment, waste treatment devices, and water circulation treatment necessary for our human survival. At the same time, the residential area agrees to configure sleeping areas, sanitary areas, living exercise areas, and work areas, and strives to make the bases more comfortable. The astronauts have a normal living environment and sports facilities.

What has been built so far is the space agriculture subsidiary experimental base, which is a space farm, which aims to grow and develop more edible parts, richer nutrients, higher yields, and nutrient utilization for astronauts and other base staff in the future. More efficient elite produce crops.

Some members of the team in charge of this aspect are also students who have studied with Yuan Lao, so they hope to make our crops more and more productive and nutritious on the moon and on the earth. "

After Lu Ming finished his introduction, another team came forward to explain, but because of the earth environment, they mostly used tablet and AR technology to simulate the environment for planning and explanation.

"Aiming at the special needs of space agriculture, we also consulted the R\u0026D team who conducted the 'lunar micro-farm' experiment on the back of the moon last year.

The cotton, rapeseed and potato seeds cultivated by the Daxia Academy of Agricultural Sciences not only successfully realized the first experiment of human beings to cultivate plant seedlings on the moon in this experiment, which kicked off the prelude of agriculture going to space, but also showed many excellent results in growth and output. Performance.

So our plan is, after the first batch of seeds we conducted experiments on the space station in Daxia come back, we will focus on pre-emptive research and development of edible crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and then conquer economic crops such as cotton . "

The project personnel explained in an orderly manner. Not only did they speak clearly and logically, each project was indeed rigorous enough.

Of course, the frequently mentioned Daxia space station made them look even more excited.

Although this space station is not owned by our own company, what kind of company is Kyushu Technology?

Daxia's top technology company!

It is also one of the technology companies most closely related to major scientific research projects in Daxia.

When these scientists were thinking of looking for a cooperation project with Daxia Space Station, what greeted them was not making things difficult, but various welcomes. This can explain a lot of problems.

The Daxia Space Station is said to be in orbit for at least 10 years, and will extend its life through continuous on-orbit maintenance, just like today's International Space Station.

So when Gu Qing held a meeting with the engineers and designers of the company's aerospace project, he proposed many "weight loss plans".

"Rationally use our own resources. Now that the Daxia space station is mature, can we reduce the investment in the space station and focus on the moon base?"

This bold idea shocked many scientists and engineers, but after careful consideration, they chose to agree in principle.

Because the level of cooperation at Daxia Space Station is too high, it's almost like a family...

Even some veteran scientists feel that Kyushu Technology is not a private enterprise, but Guo Jia's bold "innovation".

When all inspections are completed, the report is submitted, and the new small project rectification plan is summarized.

It was early morning on the 1st of November.

"Remove it."

Following Gu Qing's order, the workshop in the underground experimental base began to be in a chaotic rhythm again. Industrial robots began to work tirelessly. If there was any problem in the middle, it would be transported to the production line not far away for repair. , If it cannot be repaired, it will be disassembled reasonably, and the parts will be saved for other equipment to be repaired and used.

This experimental base, in just two days, had thousands of people coming in and out.

Scientists, engineers, "civil engineers", programmers... and other professionals are assigned tasks within their profession.

In particular, Gu Qing pointed out the key rectification links during the meeting. In the project team responsible for these links, no individual member looked at the demolition with a relaxed attitude.

Gu Qing left the underground base after having a meeting with the person in charge of some projects.

After going through checkpoints, Gu Qing and the security personnel behind him finally saw the sky.

Due to the vigorous rectification of the environment in Rongcheng over the years, the sky is still blue at this time, but the morning has already been in the middle of the meeting, and it has turned into the morning.

"It's getting late, let's go to No. 1 cafeteria to have something to eat, and sacrifice to the Temple of the Five Viscera."

Boss Gu's freedom is that he does not have the rigid working hours of 9 to 5, or in a sense, he is the type of person who works the most overtime in Kyushu Technology Company.

In the internal chat among Kyushu Technology employees, some people speculated that maybe it was because his boss was busy at work and had no girlfriend or other game hobbies, so Mr. Gu would fill up the attributes of foodie and force him to go to every cafeteria. The chef has to treat every meal meticulously every day.

Otherwise, if there is a dish that tastes bad and is eaten by the tired Mr. Gu, and then he gives a comment of "frowning, not delicious", it will affect not only the money, but also his own reputation.

Although it was already November, and the cool air in Shu was strong, Gu Qing and his party were wearing thin clothes.

After entering the cafeteria, the aroma of delicious food hits the nostrils.

"One camellia, one tea egg, one fried bun, one white fungus and lotus seed soup, plus two steamed eggs."

Boss Gu took his own breakfast, sat in an ordinary seat, and enjoyed the food in an orderly manner.

But at this moment, the No. 1 office building in the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Community is full of people and the atmosphere is warm.
