The world enters the age of myth

Lu Yiming recalled the passing time. Even if he stepped into Yanghe and lived a thrilling life, it would be difficult to come back to the past sense of time after today and looking forward to tomorrow.

People's emotions continue to decline as they age.

"But raising a child made me suddenly realize that in the past few months, she has been growing taller and bigger rapidly. At the beginning, she was very timid and taciturn, but now she can laugh, play, and She relies on us. She has great mood swings, crying and laughing."

"Less than half a year, which used to feel like nothing, has been a long, long time for her. This rapid growth will continue for many years, but when you look back, you will probably feel that these years are just a blink of an eye. "

"I thought about it before, and I think it even more so now. If the ancient people's upbringing was for reproduction, one of the meanings of today's upbringing is to let your stagnant time flow again and let your emotions fluctuate again. stand up."

"What you said is so literary!" Jin Lili chuckled.

But this is also true.

"The dead are like a man, and they don't give up day and night." When he was young, Confucius was still full of passion and tried to change the whole world.

But decades later, when he said these words, he was already old, his ideals were still struggling, and he was unable to fulfill his wishes.

The most horrifying and regrettable thing is that the current era has been a full 2,500 years since the era of Saint Kong.

Kong Shengren sighed, time flies by and he is getting old.

So, in the blink of an eye, time passed by for two thousand five hundred years.

If a person cannot feel the passage of time, it means that the vitality is gradually drying up.

And raising a child...maybe it makes some sense.

"How about another child?" Jin Lili suddenly said: "Lu Lingling is actually very easy to raise, and she is already past the most troublesome age."

"Huh?!" Lu Yiming's eyes widened.

…

All the soldiers and civilians of the Sea of ​​Clouds are busy building the "Capital of the Sea of ​​Clouds". The military has cleared the underground space, which is the core area of ​​the planetary fortress.

In the past few months, the army has participated in more than 1,600 battles in the underground space and killed more than 60,000 monsters of all sizes!

The core areas of the underground space have basically been cleared and ready for further development.

So on this day, a related development meeting was held again.

"Comrades, I am happy to tell you the good news that the arrangement of underground space has come to an end." Ding Yuan said on the rostrum: "The current identification result is that the development of this battle star was about 800,000 years ago. Previously, the extinction time of the Arakan civilization was the same.”

"It's been a really long time."

"Under the oxidation of the air, most of the machines have been damaged, and only a very small number of well-preserved machines can still be used."

Even the equipment of Xia Civilization cannot be preserved for such a long time. Only some instruments with special supernatural elements or kept in special environments can survive the erosion of time.

"Currently, in the entire underground base, the machines that can still be used are... 119,012 transport vehicles and high-performance robots that can move. A very large number." As he spoke, Ding Yuan had a smile on his face.

These machines are all usable!

Who can be unhappy?

"This type of machine generally uses a special battery, which may be a graphene battery. A small number of machines use metal hydrogen batteries... Metal hydrogen is too high-end and we cannot copy it for the time being, but graphene batteries have the possibility of imitation. The energy density is much higher than that of lithium batteries.”

Although the Unkai has a powerful supernatural crystal energy battery, the crystal energy battery requires X element to generate.

Element X is not infinite. Although the current reserve is large, the future will be very long. Maybe there will be 1 billion people? The manufacturing of the first and second generation strengthening potions requires X element, so this aspect must be considered.

In the future, the production capacity of crystalline solar cells will not only not expand, but will actually shrink.

"There are still 6,983 heavy-duty excavators and earth drilling machines that can be used. Most of the heavy-duty excavators have been damaged. The number of various damaged machines and vehicles is about one billion, which is quite a huge number."

The order of magnitude of one billion really shocked everyone.

However, compared to the size of a planet, a billion robots are normal, or even slightly less. .

Heavy excavators are extremely large in size. Each heavy excavator has a mass of more than 100,000 tons and is about the size of an aircraft carrier.

The Unkai does not have the ability to continue building a planetary fortress.

Each fortress requires thousands or even tens of thousands of years of construction time. This construction time period is simply not something that the Unkai can consider.

As a result, these fixed assets became useless...

Of course, the research uses are still great.

But the problem is that once it is dismantled, it cannot be put back together, so even if it needs to be dismantled, it must be dismantled carefully. If it causes personal injury, it will be very troublesome.

"No matter what, it is a huge asset. This asset exceeds our imagination." Lu Yiming said in a good mood: "Even if it is dismantled and smelted into steel, it will last a lifetime."

"How is it possible to smelt steel?" an expert said hurriedly, "Even if Xia Wenming's technology is difficult for us to crack, it is better than smelting it."

Lu Yiming quickly said: "I'm just making an analogy...I don't really want to smelt."

"Indeed, we cannot crack most of the technology, and only a small part can."

Another professor with gray hair introduced: "According to the expert group's research on these machines, Xia Wenming generally uses a special carbon-based chip in low-end instruments. This carbon-based chip has carbon nanotubes as the core. , generally around 1 nanometer, the stability is also quite superior, and the calculation speed is about 10 times that of the same silicon-based chip."

Carbon-based chips are a kind of imaginary chip. Unexpectedly, there are ready-made products here!

With reference, development in this area will inevitably be greatly accelerated.

Lu Yiming keenly discovered the keyword "low-end instruments" and asked: "What about high-end instruments?"

"In high-end instruments, Xia Wenming generally uses optical quantum chips. A small photonic chip, the calculation speed is 1 million times that of supercomputer. Everyone should also know what computing power means. If there is enough computing power, there are many All problems can be solved directly using the exhaustive method."

"Especially biological problems require a large amount of calculation... and are related to the development of the third generation of supernatural agents."

"These technologies are our key research directions in the future!"

Ding Yuan listened to everyone's discussion and became slightly excited: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. The asset report has not been completed yet. These matters will be discussed later."

"In addition to the 1 billion scrapped machines, there are also 12 universal factories, which should be the biggest spoils we have harvested this time! 5 of them have been scrapped, and the other 7 can be used normally."

"Through the universal factory, a large number of high-end equipment can be produced."

"Including aircraft, tanks, etc., they can all be produced! The productivity of these universal factories has greatly exceeded the current production limits of mankind, which means that we have obtained interstellar civilization-level production capabilities in advance."

Everyone in the conference room was shocked.

The universal factory, that is, a fully automatic 3D printer, can output what you want as long as you input raw materials.

These means of production are also standard equipment in the major scientific and technological relics of Xia Civilization.

People once picked up a spaceship and got two C-class universal factories.

These two refrigerator-sized 3D printers have helped a lot in the past. Some parts on fighter jets and supercomputer chipsets were directly printed by 3D printers.

Now placed here are 12 A-level universal factories, 7 of which are still in use!

An A-level universal factory is at least tens of millions of times more powerful than a C-level one!

Each universal factory has an area the size of 100 football fields, with a starting mass of 500,000 tons. The internal energy system is cold nuclear fusion, and the daily production capacity is completely science fiction-level super technology.

How productive is it?

According to the interpretation of internal data, sufficient raw materials are provided to manufacture all the parts of a jet aircraft in only 3 hours!

In the past, producing a large aircraft required sophisticated machine tools, a large number of engineers, and months of hard work. Especially the jet engine, a project of this level cannot be completed with the Unkai's own strength.

"Now it only takes 3 hours?" Lu Yiming was dumbfounded and couldn't imagine, "Can you build 8 J20 aircraft in a day? Three thousand aircraft a year is just the productivity of a universal factory."

"Yes, you heard it right. This is the earth-shaking gap between interstellar civilization and ordinary industrial civilization. Otherwise, how could it be possible to build a planetary fortress? It is indeed possible to do this with 3D printing equipment alone."

After the introduction, the atmosphere in the room was extremely warm.

What is such high productivity used for?

Is it possible for the Yunhai to reach the sky in one step?

At least there won't be any problems with the defense of the City of Clouds.

One of the professors waved his hand: "Don't be too happy, everyone. There are limitations to the use of the universal factory. The first thing is to provide enough raw materials. Without raw materials, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

"Everyone must not underestimate raw materials. Production lines as large as wafers and various polymer materials can consume our entire population, and as small as various chemical plants and steel plants, they are all raw material production lines."
