Interstellar Energy Tycoon

April 12.

It is in orbit about 550 kilometers from the ground of Azure Star.

A huge cylindrical space structure with a diameter of 33 kilometers and a central axis of about 50 kilometers long has completed the construction of the skeleton and has a basic prototype.

Even the huge ring on the central axis, driven by the ion engine, began to rotate slowly, so that the centrifugal force on the ring on the edge could reach 0.35G, which was more than one-third of the surface gravity of Azure Star. Walking on it may feel a little 'fluttering', but it is basically sufficient and will not cause too much inconvenience.

And the width of the ring is five kilometers, occupying one tenth of the length of the central axis.

Multiply that by the circumference of about 100 kilometers.

Therefore, the surface area of ​​this ring alone is a full 500 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the core urban area of ​​many large cities.

Even if it accommodates 1 million people, it will be quite relaxed, allowing every household to be a large villa with a lawn.

And fifty kilometers long on the central axis.

There is also a dedicated agricultural planting ring module.

There is a livestock farming module.

Water storage tank and fish farming module.

Solar photovoltaic power generation module.

High power optical receiver module.

As well as the power modules at both ends of the central axis, they all have multiple high-thrust ion engines, which can generate tens of thousands of tons of thrust, driving this behemoth to any corner of the solar system, that is, it has a certain degree of mobility.

Although the total weight of this behemoth is expected to exceed one billion tons, the thrust of only tens of thousands of tons is just a small horse-drawn giant vehicle, which does not bring much high mobility.

space city.

That's right, this is Huaguo's first space city.

And it has been officially named - Nuwa City.

In the future, all space cities in China will be named after mythical figures or historical figures, such as "Pangu City", "Xuanyuan City", "Kuafu City", "Houyi City", "Gonggong City", "Chiyou City" and "Jinggong City". Weishi" and so on, there is no problem in coming up with hundreds of them.

As the first space city "Nuwa City", Huayao Company attaches great importance to this project after cooperating with the country, investing at least one trillion yuan in funds. After nearly a year of intense construction, the current construction progress should be 30 %.

The total weight has reached 200 million tons, so if only calculated by weight, the construction progress is about 20%.

In fact, this construction speed is already very efficient, which can be called a miracle. It has left countless people on Azure Star stunned. The basic operations performed by the infrastructure madman will never disappoint.

but……

too slow.

This construction speed is still a bit slow, and neither Huayao's senior management nor the country is particularly satisfied.

Because according to this efficiency, it is estimated that it will take about two years to complete the basic construction, and then there will be debugging, investigation, trial operation, etc., and it will definitely take three years to arrange large-scale immigration.

This cycle is a little too long.

It must be shortened to within two years.

Therefore, the construction speed has to be accelerated and accelerated, and it must be more frenzied than the infrastructure frenzy.

During the discussion at the meeting, Huayao's technicians came up with a total of three points regarding the limiting factors of the construction efficiency of the space city "Nuwa City".

One is the lack of basic labor force. Although a large number of intelligent robots are used, the work efficiency is also very high, and they can even work 24 hours without sleep, but there are still some limitations, such as not being intelligent enough and difficult to deal with too complicated situations. An intelligent robot can probably play the role of two human workers. If it is a complex task of teamwork, the efficiency of human workers is actually slightly higher.

So to recruit.

To recruit 300,000 to 500,000 migrant workers to participate in the construction of "Nuwa City", even if they are offered a high salary of 30,000 yuan per month, they must be recruited in large numbers.

Second, Xingyuan Group needs to supply more energy.

It has to be increased from about 30 million KW to 50 million KW in order to complete the space-to-earth transportation tasks of more materials, and there will be no problem of insufficient supply of various materials.

And there is no need to worry about this aspect. The energy supply power of the star source group's space energy allows another 20 million KW of light energy to be used to speed up the construction of Nuwa City.

Finally, it is necessary to accelerate the application of high-tech applications.

For example, ordinary steel and other materials produced by the space smelting factory do not need to be transported to the ground of Azure Star, but can be directly used in the construction of Nuwa City, which can save a lot of transportation costs. Moreover, the production capacity of the space factory has to be increased, and priority should be given to meeting the construction needs of Nuwa City.

There is also advanced 3D printing technology, which can process a lot of standardized and prefabricated parts, and the quality is completely qualified. Therefore, some parts and tools should be given priority to be manufactured by 3D printers, without waiting for the production of ground factories.

In short, it is necessary to reduce various waiting processes as much as possible.

Another technology worth mentioning is the low-latency remote robot control technology developed by Huayao based on 6G network communication.

"Our technology is divided into high-sensitivity robots at the working end and humans at the control end. The robot end does not need to think, nor does it need a high-performance CPU. As long as humans control it behind the scenes, it is very sensitive. Humans can make The robot can also make any action synchronously, with a delay of no more than 100 milliseconds. Our human brains are complex and delicate, and can make countless responses, and the flexibility is far beyond supercomputers. Robots have great strength and strong battery life, and they don’t know how hard it is. What is it, can do all kinds of labor for a long time, and complete all high-risk work."

"Through 6G network communication, the tireless robots are combined with our human brains. Even if tens of thousands of kilometers are separated, the delay is very low. In this way, many young people living on the ground can Becoming a robot operator, working like playing a game, requires far more brains than hands. Many young people who like to stay at home have become high-tech migrant workers in the new era. They only need to stay at home comfortably every day. He can also earn a monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000 or even higher, as long as he completes enough work."

Yu Dazui continued: "Nowadays our young people are generally more squeamish and can't bear the hardships of physical work, but they are very smart and extremely active in thinking. They can play any game very well and become the back-end controllers of robots. There is nothing wrong with licking bricks and tiles for the construction of Nuwa City, and there are a lot of young people like this. It is easy to recruit 300,000 to 500,000 people. .”

"In this way, the traditional migrant workers will recruit 300,000 to 50,000 people, and the high-tech new mental migrant workers will recruit another 300,000 to 500,000 people. The total is nearly a million laborers. With the guarantee of sufficient energy, Nuwa City will be completed within one year. I think there is no problem, and it can be officially put into use within two years, and then use Nuwa City as a template to start the construction of the second, third, and Nth space cities... The future of space, It will be extremely lively and prosperous, and there will be beautiful homes for human beings everywhere.”

These words excited everyone in the conference room.

"Good, very good."

"Heaping up manpower and new technology at the same time, the energy supply is always sufficient, so the space city will be put into use within two years, it is indeed not an unrealistic fantasy."

"Foreigners always say that we are curly, that we are an ant-like race, and that we don't know how to enjoy life. These sayings are not necessarily wrong, but 10,000 years is too long. We only seize the day and night. Since we can do it, why wait for thousands of years After that? Let’s do it quickly.”

"Yeah, I suddenly understand Qin Shihuang, Sui Yang and other emperors. They are a little anxious, but maybe this is the gene engraved in the blood of our nation, and we also have the courage, determination and ability to do it. If so, then Just try to be as fast as possible, because we are used to the fast pace and cannot tolerate inefficiency."

"In three years, we will complete ten years of work; in ten years, we will complete fifty years of work. It won't take long. Within our lifetime, our country will become unimaginably prosperous and powerful. Far behind, this is undoubtedly something worth looking forward to." (End of this chapter)
