Chapter 32: The Industrial Horn

During this period, the scientists suddenly went crazy with the collective law, one woke up at six in the morning and rested only after 10 at night.

One by one, their eyes were red, and their discussions and arguments were everywhere in the cafeteria and in the elevator room.

The most crucial thing is that they are voluntary, and if not for the government's mandatory regulations, they would like to work more shifts ...

In the following period of time, the most complacent days of Coyote Design Bureau began, their scientific research points were surpassed by Tesla Institute, but now, they are fast catching up again!

Because during the months of their voyage to Mars, they silently completed a super project: the miniaturization of the nuclear power plant!

Ding Yidong's big mouth can barely hide things, and it's only been a short time since they finished this thing that they finally couldn't resist releasing it!

This kind of nuclear power plant, which originated from aircraft carriers, has been improved by Coyote Design Bureau, and is smaller in size, but has almost no difference in output power, and has a very strong shock resistance.

This project is really too important for humanity, what does it mean?

Scientists new designs of super trains, super excavators, etc., if they want to use nuclear power, then they have to use their devices!

Delighted, delighted, on the Noah, the wild laughter of the wild wolves could be heard everywhere.

The group of boys led by Professor Ding Yidong finally had a good time, the good did not learn, Ding Yidong's madness was all learned.

This was not because they had temporarily defeated the rival Tesla Institute, but because of a sense of identity.

The hard-earned scientific research results, for scientists, is like a child. If this result can be recognized by everyone, then it is really the most comfortable, the most happy thing.

A great industrial trumpet was blown in November of the new human calendar, and it can be said that it was the third industrial revolution. The government began to promulgate detailed tasks to major enterprises and major research institutes.

Information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, and biotechnology will be the mainstream of this industrial revolution. All laboratories, science and technology institutes, and factories were given a large amount of energy, resources, and industrial indicators.

Scientists can let go of their imagination and show their hands.

An old-fashioned excavator was the first to be active in various mineral resource points, and a railroad began to be laid. Of course, these old-fashioned machines are temporary and used for a while first.

When new super machines are produced, they will be eliminated.

Scientists in all aspects of chemistry, physics, mechanics, and biology ... were busy all night long, and they didn't feel hard work; in fact, many of them were as excited as if they had been hit by chicken blood.

This really is the great environment that can stimulate all imagination. As long as you have an idea, you can propose it, you can design it yourself, you don't need to consider the financial aspect, and you can even be encouraged by your superiors.

What a great thing to do!

The research of intelligent robots became the mainstream of all research institutes, and they all stepped up their horsepower to study the means of unmanned control.

Such a robot, not necessarily humanoid, perhaps just a mechanical arm, perhaps a car, an excavator, but it must be automatic, unmanned, intelligent.

Because the population is too small, the amount of mining work is too large, automation will be the only means.

Such technology is not unattainable. Automation procedures have been studied for decades and are already relatively mature. In Germany and Japan, automotive factories have long been fully automated.

Now, people just want to spread this automation technology to more places.

And ah, in recent years, the emergence of driverless technology, artificial intelligence technology, for the study of intelligent robots is very informative. Scientists are preparing to make intelligent mechanical devices to do more complex work.

Of course, they are not trying to study a real robot with intelligence, then the difficulty is too big too big. What they are studying is still a programmed thing, only more complex procedures, more adaptable.

A satellite is being ramped up, ready for future unmanned mining ...

Oliver was in the captain's room, reading a report while drinking tea. Compared to the old days, he is not very busy now, unless he is required to take care of particularly big matters. It is also very fulfilling to see the progress of the new human civilization every day.

In fact, in addition to his regular job, Oliver is learning knowledge almost every day, anyway, all kinds of knowledge to have. Although swallowed whole, in the depth of the above is not enough point, but the breadth has been sloppy, most of the reports, he can understand.

Today, the biggest key is to build up the "Genov Industrial Base". This huge industrial base has 6,000 engineers, scientists and 2,000 mechanical specialists!

In total, 8,000 people, or 16% of the total population!

They are working around the clock to build machine tools and various mechanical production lines, such as stamping lines, engine assembly lines, testing lines, and various parts production lines.

A large number of laboratories are designing intelligent programs for the production lines. As soon as the Kinov industrial base is built, then, all forms of mechanical equipment can be produced.

Just like a snowball, the production energy will become stronger and stronger.

Oliver picked up a report and looked at it carefully.

"At nine o'clock in the morning, the first type iii precision parts production line was successfully tested, this line specializes in the production of precision parts for mining machines from 8-27. No accident occurred during the period, and all data met expectations.

This type of assembly line can replicate one in seven days, it needs to consume 1530 tons of steel ..."

Oliver nodded secretly, at this rate, the Kinov industrial base would be completed within two or three months after the New Year.

"At twelve noon, the railroad to and from the various mineral resource points was officially completed. The old trains have passed the test and can run normally, with a capacity of about 20,000 tons per trip."

"Some old excavators began normal operation, with 51 units put in initially, each with a daily ore production capacity of about 10,000 tons, which can fully meet daily needs."

"The super train is under urgent design, with the main work being done by the Wild Wolf Design Bureau. The expected transport capacity of a single trip is in the million ton class."

...

"What an exaggeration!" Looking at this one project, Oliver suddenly felt that he was a bit outdated, really how big the heart is, how big the world is.

He carefully calculated, and then asked suspiciously, "It seems a little wrong ah, 100,000 tons of excavators, the face of 300 billion tons of ice ore is still not enough ah, will not it take several hundred years to dig?"

"Of course not."

His assistant Yuriko happened to hear the query and answered up for Oliver: "Many scientists believe that digging ice ore not necessarily with excavators, but with a more affordable cutting robot."

"Cutting robots, simple in design, cheap in cost, and can be mass-produced."

Because the ice is mixed with a large number of carbon dioxide bubbles in the middle, the structure is loose and no harder than stone, the ice ore can be cut directly into the shape of small cubic blocks with a cutter. Then use a crane to transport the cube block conveyor crawler, directly to the super train.

The ice cube with a side length of about 2 meters can have a mass of up to 8 tons, and the time for cutting plus transportation is 10-20 minutes. All this will be done automatically by machinery, without the need for any human hands.

"According to the plan, three hundred thousand such cutting robots, working 20 hours a day and maintaining them for 4 hours, can produce up to 150 million tons a day. Six hundred thousand cutting robots, daily production can reach 300 million tons, it does not take 1000 days to complete the ice mining task ..." Yuriko spit out a large string of numbers from her mouth.

"By design, one cutting robot, consumes 3.3 tons of steel, 13 kg of copper, and aluminum ..."

She calmly stated the figures involved. The cutting robot had a simple structure, and the material consumption was probably about the same as a small car. In fact, some of the design work is her personal involvement ...

Now Oliver was not very busy and was completely capable of doing his job alone. Yuriko then involved in the mechanical design, only occasionally come over to do some assistant work, she is still a scientist after all ah.

At a time like now, every human being has to play the maximum role.

Oliver opened his mouth, listened to the scalp, hundreds of thousands of robots ... turned out to be to engage in human sea tactics ah?

But also difficult for these scientists, not so engaged, there is no way to complete the task ah.

He thought about it carefully, hundreds of thousands of robots, each one of them is equivalent to a car, in fact, it is not particularly much ...

On Earth, a large car factory can produce 1.5 million cars a year, like Volkswagen, 2 million cars a year!

If the Genov industrial plant is really completed, with the massive, ever-increasing number of assembly lines, this small number of robots is really nothing.

300 billion tons of ice, equivalent to the water resources of three Qinghai lakes, is barely enough ...
