"The work efficiency of space robots is very fast. According to our estimates, it will take about half a year to complete the manufacturing of a Taishan space kinetic energy weapon. The main body connection and armor welding work of Taishan 1 is currently in progress. By then, only the nuclear fusion reactor will be installed.
The power engine will then be officially completed."
Tuesday, July 2, 2030.
Binjiang City.
Ping County.
Future Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.
In the command and control center, Li Chengzhe reported to Xu Lei the progress of manufacturing space kinetic energy weapons.
Just today, with the initial completion of the renovation and expansion of the original near-Earth space port, which has become the first space shipyard of human civilization, the manufacturing work of Taishan space kinetic energy weapons has finally begun.
Since the relevant material resources have been transported through the space elevator, we can get on the right track now.
The Taishan space kinetic energy weapon designed by Xu Lei has a relatively simple structure, and the most important thing is the huge metal body. Therefore, in the specific manufacturing process, only the space robot is controlled to complete the main body connection and armor welding.
Then just install the nuclear fusion power engine directly.
After all, nuclear fusion power engines are relatively precise and there cannot be any accidents during the manufacturing process. Naturally, it is more convenient to manufacture them on the ground.
Although the space elevator car cannot carry the weight of the metal body of the space kinetic energy weapon, there is no problem with the independent nuclear fusion power engine.
It is precisely in this way that Li Chengzhe can confidently tell the six-month manufacturing deadline.
There are still more than six years until Pluto reaches Jupiter. The efficiency of completing one space kinetic energy weapon in half a year is enough to exceed the original planned number of nine.
Finally, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the space kinetic energy weapon move, and Xu Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the screen of the space shipyard displayed on the screen in front of him, he did not hesitate to praise: "You have done a good job. As long as the institute can successfully complete the production and manufacturing of nine space kinetic energy weapons in the remaining time, then
We now have the initiative when facing Pluto."
"This is all due to you, Dean, for designing a space kinetic energy weapon with a simple structure, otherwise it would never be so easy to manufacture." Upon hearing this, Li Chengzhe responded humbly and did not take credit for himself.
Although he felt like he was being flattered, Xu Lei didn't say much.
at the same time.
As a new round of uninterrupted global live broadcast begins, viewers from all over the world rush into the live broadcast room quickly.
Pay joint attention to the manufacturing of space kinetic energy weapons.
In just a few minutes, the number of people online exceeded 100 million.
I don’t know how much hotter it is than the previous Shenzhou interstellar battleship Kilowatt Mars.
Mainly since virtual worlds and virtual games have been temporarily shut down, most people suddenly feel like time has slowed down.
I can't find anything to divert my attention.
After all, no matter how grand the underground dormant base project is, it cannot reach the point where all the people can participate. If that happens, it will only make the situation more chaotic.
No matter how large the number of intelligent industrial robots is, Star Child can effectively control them and issue instructions to cooperate with each other to complete the work efficiently. However, the thinking of personnel is not controlled. When the number of people is small, they may be able to command properly.
Too many to imagine will inevitably bring negative impacts.
Besides, the underground dormant base with limited space doesn’t have much room to stand.
Volunteers participating in the underground dormant base construction project are specially selected and have certain relevant professional knowledge.
The rest of the general public can only live a normal life step by step.
I usually encourage you online.
It can be regarded as a spiritual contribution.
But this way, I have more free time. I used to be able to enter virtual games and experience a new version of my life, which was a waste of time, but now it seems like I am suffering every minute.
As for those games that used to be played by ordinary computers, no one would play them even if they died.
The reason is also very simple.
After tasting the delicacies of mountains and seas, if you can still swallow the glutinous vegetables.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!
It can only be said that the emergence of virtual games has completely raised the threshold of players to a very high level, and it is impossible to lower it again.
Fortunately, Future Science and Technology and the Space Administration launched such an uninterrupted live broadcast in time.
Everyone gathers in the live broadcast room to watch the manufacturing of space kinetic energy weapons and chat at the same time, which will give you a strong sense of participation.
It can be said that it is a hundred benefits without any harm.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room can best be felt when the barrage is quickly refreshed.
"Yangcheng Branch Yan is here to report!"
"Finally the live broadcast started again. I was almost suffocated during this period."
"Okay."
"I read the news and it seems that this time it will be live broadcast without interruption. I can hang on to it even when I sleep at night."
"No one can stop me. From now on, my live broadcast room will not be closed."
"The production of space kinetic energy weapons that can change the orbit of Pluto is finally about to begin. We hope to directly solve the crisis of Pluto."
"Is this the first time it's been built in space?"
"So damn handsome!"
…
From the perspective of the audience in the live broadcast room, the renovated and expanded space shipyard appears on the screen like a fixed interstellar city in the universe.
Besides being shocked, it is still shocking.
The strong visual impact cannot be described in words.
Although the space shipyard that can be seen is only the tip of the iceberg, it is enough to leave a mark on everyone's heart.
And if you watch the live broadcast carefully, you will definitely find that while some space robots are manufacturing the metal bodies of kinetic energy weapons, there are other robots in the distance that continue to renovate and expand the shipyard.
Although there is only one manufacturing area at the moment, once the space shipyard is completely completed, the manufacturing area will probably increase several times.
By that time, maybe three or even four kinetic energy weapons can be produced directly within half a year.
Even if it were replaced by an interstellar battleship, it would still bring great surprises to people.
It can greatly improve the manufacturing efficiency of human civilization's interstellar battleships and equip a real interstellar battleship fleet in the shortest possible time.
After the initial explosive atmosphere passed, the audience's emotions gradually recovered, and they gradually focused on the specific manufacturing of the Taishan-1 space kinetic energy weapon.
Judging from the length and size, the Taishan 1 and the Shenzhou star battleship are qualified to compete, but due to its relatively simple structure, it looks like a power hammer that has been enlarged many times. However, because it was just started to be manufactured , at this time, it is only a rough framework, and it is entirely up to the audience to figure it out based on the virtual modeling.
But as the duration of the live broadcast gradually increased, the audience was shocked to find that the efficiency of the space robot was incredibly fast.
And the cooperation between individuals is very tacit.
In addition, as a robot, it is not affected by the space environment, so it is indeed incomparable to human engineers.
However, no matter how powerful the technological products are, they are all born from the hands of humans. It can only be said that being good at using tools has always been the greatest advantage of human civilization.
Seeing this shocking scene, the audience was filled with emotions.
Be proud of being a part of human civilization.
They all sent comments in the live broadcast room to express their feelings at the moment.
"Seeing that our human civilization is getting stronger and stronger, my heart is almost bursting with excitement."
"Who would have thought that in just a dozen years, human civilization would undergo earth-shaking changes, all thanks to the contributions of future science and technology!"
"The efficiency of these space robots is so strong, it feels like the first space kinetic energy weapon will be able to leave the cabin in a few months."
"When the time comes, hit me hard against Pluto!"
"In short, I am now confident in future technology. Victory will eventually belong to us."
"With the presence of space kinetic energy weapons, there is a high probability that the other two response plans will not be used."
"It's a pity that the manufacturing of the planetary defense orbital gun is not live broadcast. I would also like to see the orbital gun test firing."
…
Xu Lei knew that although the space kinetic energy weapon was designed by him based on the technology related to the Heavy Cruiser, it was still in the manufacturing and production stage. Even if the uninterrupted live broadcast was started, it would not have much influence on him.
So after confirming that Li Chengzhe and the others could handle the production of Taishan No. 1, they immediately lost interest in paying attention.
As for the situation inside the live broadcast room, I was too lazy to watch.
Finally, he exchanged a few words with Li Chengzhe and others, asking them to continue to follow up on the manufacturing of Taishan space kinetic energy weapons, and then he immediately left to return to the Longhu High-tech Park Research Center.
Twenty days have passed since Song Le took the initiative to participate in the human experiment of the biological dormancy chamber.
According to the previously preset time, he will be actively awakened tonight, and the true effect of the biological dormancy cabin will be determined at that time.
Naturally, Xu Lei would not be absent from such an important occasion.
What's more, apart from the fusion power station, the biological dormancy chamber is his biggest source of influence. Only through human testing can he start mass production with confidence.
After all, the production of star battleships has been delayed for the sake of Taishan's space kinetic energy weapons.
It is temporarily unable to bring influence to him.
You must know that Xu Lei's current total influence is only 22 million, and he can't even get the most common second-level civilization technology exhibits.
It's like having an empty box of treasure but not finding the key.
Although the current plans being implemented by the Earth Star are sufficient to deal with the crisis on Pluto, for things like advanced technology exhibits, no amount will be too much.
Especially recently, Xu Lei feels more and more that his body cannot support the thinking of his brain. If this continues, he is afraid that his body functions will seriously decline, and even muscle atrophy and organ failure will occur. This is something he absolutely does not want to see.
.
So even to save himself, he must gain enough influence.
Fortunately, he found technological exhibits in the upper space of the Science and Technology Museum that could improve his current situation.
According to his words, being too smart is also a burden!
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Research center laboratory.
Including Xu Lei, Hu Xinren, several scientific researchers and other students of Hu Xinren gathered here.
In addition, a smart medical cabin is placed.
Just in case of emergency.
At this moment, there is no doubt that everyone's attention is focused on the virtual cabin in front of them.
Anxiously waiting for the preset time to arrive.
As the main force of the new generation of scientific researchers in the research center, Song Le is of extremely high value to the company. In addition, everyone usually likes this student who is good at learning and has quick thinking, so naturally they don't want to see any problems with him.
What's more, this is also related to the results of human experiments in biological dormancy chambers.
If an unexpected situation does occur, it means that this biological dormant cabin is defective and cannot be mass-produced.
At that time, Xu Lei will want to check the problem of the biological dormancy cabin. He doesn't know how long it will be delayed, which will inevitably cause very big losses to the company.
It can be said that they have no qualifications to fail.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problem." Xu Lei noticed that Hu Xinren's face next to him was not very good, with obvious urgency and nervousness, so he smiled and reassured.
After all, no matter what others think, he still has confidence in his masterpiece.
Although the dormancy time of this human experiment is much longer than that of the previous animal experiment, it is nothing compared to the maximum dormancy period of fifty years in the biological dormancy chamber.
Facts have proved that Hu Xinren really values his student. Even after hearing Xu Lei's comfort, he still couldn't control his worry.
In the end, he just nodded without saying anything.
Hu Xinren joined the research center when it was first established.
He can be called the true veteran of the company.
He has indeed participated in the research of many key projects of the company over the years, and the final results have been successful without exception. Logically speaking, based on his experience, he would not think that there would be any problems with the biological hibernation chamber.
The key is to be afraid of exceptions in everything.
He really couldn't feel at ease until he saw Song Le wake up.
Xu Lei was also aware of Hu Xinren's state, so he didn't say anything more.
Just wait for the preset time to arrive.
However, it is worth mentioning that fortunately, Song Le's vital signs were displayed on the external screen of the biological dormancy cabin, which indirectly reassured Hu Xinren.
Otherwise, this will only make you more worried.
But fortunately, everyone did not wait too long. Someone suddenly shouted. Everyone looked around and saw that the door of the dormant cabin had opened automatically.
"Unplug the instruments and devices on his body first." Xu Lei walked over quickly, and after seeing Song Le's body rising from the special liquid, he quickly explained: "Be careful not to touch his body first. In addition,
Open the smart medical cabin and get ready."
After all, Song Le slept for three weeks this time.
It would be fine if the biological dormancy cabin functioned normally, and everyone would be happy with the result. However, if a problem occurs, Song Le's body functions will be damaged to varying degrees.
This requires timely treatment.
So before coming here tonight, Xu Lei asked Xingyuan Comprehensive Demonstration Hospital to transfer a smart medical cabin.
The smart medical cabin in the hospital is quite different from the one in the park. It contains various newly developed nano-medical robots, which can ensure Song Le's life safety more quickly.
When nano-medical robots were first born, they successfully conquered cancer, a major disease that has plagued mankind for many years.
As a result, cancer has now been completely eliminated.
Faced with special medical treatments with such powerful effects, the company will naturally continue to conduct research and development to create nano-medical robots with more functions.
Qin Xiaoman's contribution in this aspect is not insignificant.
Fortunately, what everyone was worried about did not happen.
As the instruments and devices on Song Le's body were removed, he soon slowly opened his eyes.
"Dean, you are all here." After a brief pause for a few seconds, he suddenly became energetic: "Teacher, my experiment was successful."
"How do you feel now?" Hu Xinren said, still worried.
But Song Le was obviously in good condition at the moment, and he told everyone about his situation excitedly: "I felt like I had slept for a while, and I also dreamed that we successfully solved the Pluto crisis, but now the content of the dream has been
It’s very vague, I can’t remember some of it.”
In the biological hibernation chamber, some people's thinking will still show signs of being active, so hibernators often have dreams.
The dream is intermittent and incomplete.
After the hibernator ends hibernation and his mind becomes active again, the memory of these dreams will gradually be forgotten.
What Song Le said alone proved that he had indeed entered a dormant state.
Since the body's original functions were still maintained after three weeks of deep sleep, it shows that this biological hibernation chamber is very reliable.
Just out of scientific rigor, Xu Lei did not immediately declare the success of the human experiment in the biological dormancy cabin. Instead, he asked Song Le to lie down in the smart medical cabin and do a full-body examination first.
Although Song Le thought that his physical condition was very good, he still obeyed Xu Lei's words. He just came out of the biological dormancy cabin and entered the smart medical cabin.
It only took a few minutes to conduct a comprehensive examination of Song Le's body.
and generate detailed data reports.
"Compared with Xiao Song's physical data report before he entered the dormant chamber, this report seems to have improved a bit. Our biological dormant chamber experiment was successful." Hu Xinren, who had obtained the two data before and after, could no longer hold back at this moment.
He was excited and shouted with joy on his face.
Even after Song Le came out of the smart medical cabin, he did not forget to echo: "I knew that the equipment developed by the director was absolutely fine."
Although this scene has appeared in Xu Lei's mind several times, the actual experience is still somewhat different.
At least Xu Lei is happy about it.
After nearly two months of busy work, I finally got the biological dormant cabin out. I was finally able to breathe a little easier, and then I focused all my energy on the mass production of the dormant cabin.
Thinking of this, Xu Lei was no longer wasting time. While everyone happened to be here, he decided directly: "Since the biological dormancy chamber has passed the human experiment, mass production will be officially started, and a suitable partner company will be selected and personnel will be dispatched."
My requirement for transforming their production line is very simple, that is, to maximize the production of biological dormancy chambers."
Xu Lei has expressed his attitude before.
It is necessary to expand the production capacity of bio-dormant chambers regardless of losses, even if a large number of production lines need to be modified.
Hu Xinren knew Xu Lei's intention of doing this, and how could he raise objections at this time despite his immense admiration. Naturally, he accepted the task very decisively.
"Don't worry, Dean, we promise to complete this spacing task."
Xu Lei must have great trust in Hu Xinren. Hu Xinren could estimate the production capacity of one billion units before, but the actual value will only be more than this.
Although it cannot satisfy the global population, it is enough to preserve the fire of human civilization.
With these billion biological dormancy chambers, even if the Earth is really hit by Pluto in the future and the environment undergoes earth-shaking changes, human civilization will still be able to return to its heyday as long as it is given more time.
Taking into account the current time and today's mood, Xu Lei finally took everyone to have a good celebration banquet.
As the biggest contributor, Song Le was allowed to participate in more core projects of the company's research center. I believe this will also allow him to grow rapidly.
…
Facts have proved that Hu Xinren is worthy of being a veteran of the company's research center. As the mass production of biological dormancy cabins was put on the agenda, he led the staff to first complete the transformation of the company's entire production line, and used the information retrieved by Star Child to select the appropriate institution to serve as the biological dormitory.
Production of sleeping cabin accessories.
According to this efficiency, if nothing unexpected happens, the number of biological dormancy chambers will reach more than one billion in seven or eight years.
It completely exceeded Xu Lei's psychological expectations.
At the same time, as time goes by, the planetary defense orbital gun responsible for Sunan and Zhao Jingbin has begun to bear fruit. It will not take too long for the first planetary defense orbital gun to be transported by Shenzhou to the orbit of Mars for deployment.
By then, it will cooperate with the accelerated construction of the Mars military base to ensure the safety of the surrounding space area.
And this will also become the second line of defense against sniping Pluto.
All in all, everything is developing in a good direction.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment, and half a year passes quickly.
As the Spring Festival approaches, it is a time for family reunions.
Perhaps the crisis of Pluto always hangs over everyone's mind, which makes the public pay more attention to family ties.
Especially traditional festivals like the Spring Festival.
Xu Lei considered that his parents were old and he still didn't know what direction the Pluto incident would take, so he finally took his parents to Binjiang City with a tough attitude.
Let them live in the harmonious and absolutely safe Longfor High-tech Park.
Usually when he was busy with work and couldn't spare time to spend time with them, Chen Shihe would often go there. It seemed that the relationship was already recognized by everyone in the company.
The only regret is that Xu Lei and Chen Shihe have no plans to have children until the Pluto crisis is resolved.
Because if the final disaster cannot be prevented and the surface environment of the Earth becomes unsuitable for human habitation, the result that will be faced is that the child may enter an underground dormant base as soon as he is born, so why let him come to this world to suffer.
And just before New Year's Eve, the main body of the Taishan-1 space kinetic energy weapon was finally completed in the space shipyard.
Next is the final installation of the nuclear fusion power engine.
Although the live broadcast has been started for half a year, there are still hundreds of millions of people online in the live broadcast room at this time, witnessing the arrival of this historic moment.
Compared with the situation half a year ago, the Taishan-1 space kinetic energy weapon has now taken shape, especially the armor welded on the surface of the metal body, which gives it higher strength and quality, ensuring that it will knock Pluto out of orbit with a devastating force.
