I really just want to be a scholar

As the first launch base tower, "Aegis", the entire construction process is almost aimed at "perfection".

For the infrastructure of the civil engineering project alone, a total of fifty-nine academicians and professors of construction engineering from Qingmu, Yanda, Zheda and other universities were used to personally guide, direct and supervise the entire process, from raw material inspection to every wall, The angle and height of each steel bar and each section of the structure are strictly implemented in accordance with the construction drawings, which can be said to be extremely rigorous.

Engineering products that humans rely on experience and technology can only rely on this method to ensure high quality reliability.

When it comes to the various functional modules and equipment facilities inside the launch base tower, Weiguang is responsible for the entire process, directing the transportation and installation of various engineering robots. Even debugging is completed by Weiguang. No human engineers are involved in the whole process. Less worries about this.

Now in the entire "FSJT0001" venue, except for the security patrols around the towering barbed wire fence and the sentry posts set up at the entrance for interrogation, there is no trace of humans. Especially inside, it has completely become a robot. world.

From the transportation of various raw materials to the "intelligent manufacturing factory", to the processing and production in the "intelligent manufacturing factory", to the transportation of the finished equipment and components to "Aegis" for installation and commissioning, the entire process is based on the micro-light Completed according to Qin Ke's instructions.

Even the establishment of the "Zhurongzhiguang" fast reactor was completed by Shimmer.

Every visitor who comes here sees countless engineering vehicles, ADVs, industrial robots, precision machine tools, and laser processing equipment operating automatically in an orderly and closely coordinated manner. The scene is so spectacular that it makes people wonder whether they are actually in In the future world.

Especially when all the "installation and commissioning engineers" and "maintenance engineers" are all humanoid robots with a sense of futuristic technology, the visual impact will be even stronger.

Of course, not all device components are manufactured by Micro-Light. The most typical example is the chip module, which is limited by materials and manufacturing tools. Now, all the chips of "Aegis" are ordered from Xiaxin International, using Of course, it is the latest "dream chip material" to obtain the highest performance. Xia Xin International has also dedicated two production lines and a strongest design team to develop chips specifically for "Aegis".

Another example is the core structure materials and coolant containers of fast reactors, which are all special materials. The low-light cannot be processed from ordinary raw materials and needs to be purchased from Xiaguo Nuclear Industry Group.

But in general, Weiguang has been able to perfectly maximize the performance and efficiency of all equipment in the "intelligent manufacturing factory" such as all industrial robots and precision machine tools, and can independently complete 95% of "Aegis" Fully automated production of upper unit components.

Thanks to this, the manufacturing cost of the entire "Aegis" internal equipment is incredibly low. At present, the "Aegis" has spent a total of about 10 billion US dollars, of which the civil engineering and basic construction costs account for almost 8 million US dollars. The actual cost of the "Aegis" internal equipment and equipment is only 2 million US dollars - basically The above is the purchase price of raw materials and module components that cannot be manufactured by 5% low light.

The main "worker" Shiguang is a volunteer laborer who works hard without complaint. Some parts of industrial robots that have malfunctions can be repaired directly by Shiguang. Missing parts are provided by the original factory for free, with almost no cost.

Of course, if you include the scientific research funds and other expenditures of the scientist groups from various countries, it will be a hundred times higher. However, the design drawings provided by the scientist team can be reused, and it does not count if they are spread evenly among the 7000 hair base towers. what.

At this moment, Tao Zhexuan is "inside" this "Aegis" worth far more than 10 billion US dollars.

Tao Zhexuan still remembers the unbelievable shock he felt when he first came to Aegis and saw a large number of robots and engineering vehicles of various shapes operating fully automatically.

Until now, when he wears the "Ling Lemon Remote Vision Device" and controls the "micro-controlled vision robot" to walk inside "Aegis", the shocking feeling of being in the future is still strong.

This is the new world built by Qin Ke’s efforts, combined with the world’s most advanced industrial forces, and Qin Ke’s self-developed artificial intelligence!

Lao Tao looked at the exquisite and technologically sophisticated precision instruments around him, especially when he looked up and saw the huge "laser cannon body" that went straight towards Yunxiao, he couldn't hide his excitement.

The bottom of "Aegis" is the energy core "Zhu Rong's Light", and the heat energy of "Zhu Rong's Light" is converted into huge electromagnetic energy through this cannon body, and finally launched into outer space, unfolding to form a sheet covering 8 A huge electromagnetic energy shield covering an area of ​​more than square kilometers.

Lao Tao: "Qin Ke, although I only study mathematics, I also know how difficult it is to build such a launch tower, let alone complete it in just one year and three months. But you I did it. Sometimes I think the media’s praise of you is not wrong. You are the person who changed the course of civilization in this world.”

Recently, the world's most famous "Time" magazine selected "Top Ten Scientists Who Impacted the Process of Human Civilization", and Qin Ke was included among them. Together with Newton, Einstein, Maxwell, Darwin and other great men, Qin Ke was called "the greatest scientist in human history". "Top Ten Great Scientists", "Times" also commented: "These ten great scientists have greatly promoted the process of human civilization with their wisdom!"

This made Qin Ke, who had quietly disappeared from public view for more than a year, once again become the focus of countless people's attention.

Qin Ke smiled and said: "Just keep blowing. Isn't this 'Aegis' not completely built yet?"

Lao Tao: "But it's only a matter of time, isn't it? I have more confidence in you now than in myself and all the scientists in the world combined. To be honest, every time I see 'Aegis', I still have more confidence in you." I feel like I am in a dream, am I actually involved in building this? I am just a mathematician, but I can actually participate in the great project of mankind to fight against the power of the sun? "

Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and chuckled beside her. Every time she saw that even a super genius like Lao Tao praised her husband so much, she couldn't hide the pride in her heart, and Lao Tao's words also resonated with her.

Sometimes she felt like she was dreaming. The years when she was immersed in math competitions in high school were still vivid in her mind. In the blink of an eye, she, Qin Ke, and the famous Tao Zhexuan built such a large-scale building. project and will fight against super giant solar storms and save mankind.

Qin Ke was also wearing the "Ling Ning Remote Vision Device". Naturally, he couldn't see Lao Tao's expression, but he could still hear his sincere sigh, so he smiled and said:

"Okay, stop flattering me. You can't flatter me for my shamelessness. Let's go, I'll show you the fast reactor. You also have a share of the credit for the fast reactor. The steam generator at the sodium-water interface The mathematical model of the monitoring system was built together with you and Senior Li Cheng."

"Isn't that because you and Xiaoning just can't spare the time?" Lao Tao said, feeling a little proud in his heart. After all, the fast reactor was built with the help of him and the "Global Extreme Climate Big Data Advanced Analysis Team" A lot of credit.

The fast reactor named "Zhu Rong's Light" is the core energy supply area. Apart from Qin Ke, only Ning Qingyun has the authority to enter this area.

Lao Tao also knew that this place was important. Although Qin Ke said there were protective barriers, he still did not dare to control the "micro-control vision robot" to walk anymore, for fear of accidentally damaging it and causing trouble.

He let the "micro-controlled vision robot" walk automatically, and he only used his eyes to observe the six "fast neutron reactor cores" arranged like plum petals. In fact, there is not much to see. The reactor core is completely enclosed in a complex "tank-shaped" container, and the internal structure cannot be seen.

At this time, the reactor core was operating. Lao Tao looked at the dense pipes around the container, as if he could see huge energy flowing in the pipes like blood. On the outer wall of the container, there are four official script characters "Zhu Rongzhiguang" written in Chinese, which looks very impressive.

"Qin Ke, with you here, I believe that the Xia Kingdom will soon establish itself as the world's leader in science and technology. By then, many international scientists will be proud to join the Xia Kingdom nationality. If that day comes, my father and my mother will You must be very happy, of course, so am I." Lao Tao said the last sentence in Cantonese.

His parents were originally from Xia Guangfu. They graduated from Xiangjiang University and later immigrated to Australia. Lao Tao was born in Australia and still doesn't speak much Mandarin, only Cantonese and English. If it weren't for Qin Ke, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to understand his parents' original country so deeply, nor would he have the blood-related sense of belonging to Xia Country that he does now.

At this time, he wanted to express his emotions in a more instinctive language, so he chose Cantonese.

"Not only with me, but also with Qingjun, Edward, Mr. Qiu and many like-minded scientists from Xia State, the first launch tower like this was born." Speaking of this, Qin Ke invited : "By the way, Old Tao, when you have time, ask your uncle and aunt to come back to your hometown for a walk. Times are different, and so is Xia Country."

Lao Tao: "Okay, okay, after surviving this 'super giant solar storm', the climate has returned to normal. I will mobilize my parents to come back to Xia Kingdom to live there forever."

After chatting and visiting the "Light of Zhurong", the three of them visited several newly installed functional module areas for a while. Before preparing to "leave", Lao Tao suggested again: "Can this robot go out? I want to go out again." Look at our first launch tower from the outside."

You can't see the complete shape of "Aegis" from the inside, you have to go outside.

Qin Ke said: "There is a blizzard outside. It will not affect the performance of the micro-control vision robot, but it will affect the field of vision."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to see it."

Qin Ke said happily: "Okay, let's go. Shimmer, you control the micro-control vision robot, increase the pace, and be more efficient."

Weiguang immediately responded: "Yes, Master Qin Ke, Weiguang now takes over the action authority of three micro-controlled vision robots."

Soon, the three of them "arrived" at the periphery of the first launch tower.

At this time, the sky is full of wind and snow, and there are white snowflakes everywhere. The micro-controlled vision robot automatically activates the surface heating function to prevent snowflakes from accumulating. The cold snowflakes fall on the robot's body and will soon turn into Water droplets rolled down.

The three of them looked up at "Aegis" in the wind and snow.

It's not obvious from the inside, but from the outside, you can see the huge steel and concrete building towering into the clouds, standing like a giant in the wind and snow, motionless.

Although the wind and snow are strong, it can't hide its majestic body!

Although this was not the first time he saw this spectacular scene, Lao Tao couldn't help but said: "Every time I see such a magnificent launch tower from the outside, I am convinced that the future of mankind will overcome all difficulties. Whether it’s a disaster from the sun or an alien civilization from a more distant universe.”

Ning Qingyun also nodded and said: "Yes... this launch base tower can be said to be the greatest crystallization of wisdom in this era."

It is difficult to see the whole view of the launch tower in the wind and snow. If the sun shines at this time, you can clearly see its appearance that looks like a TV tower, but is far more majestic.

The main body of the tower of "Aegis" is 499 meters high. There is also a long barrel of a laser cannon that extends straight to the sky from the top of the tower. The length of the gun body is 161 meters, making the total height of "Aegis" reach 660 meters.

Although it is not as high as the world's tallest tower, the 828-meter-high Burj Khalifa, "Aegis" is still a very majestic tower and the tallest building in the history of Xia Kingdom.

This is because after repeated communication with a group of scientists and engineers, Qin Ke lowered the original height of nearly 900 meters to 660 meters in consideration of the construction difficulty and time schedule. Otherwise, "Aegis" would have become the tallest tower in the world. of buildings.

Reducing the height will lead to a reduction in the protective shield coverage area triggered by the single-tower laser cannon. Therefore, the number of launch base towers to be built has also changed from the original 5500 to 7000.

At present, the main building of this first launch base tower is composed of a reinforced concrete inner core tube and a steel structure outer frame tube. The total steel consumption exceeds 8 tons and costs almost 8 million US dollars. It can withstand earthquakes with an intensity of 9.0 and 12 level typhoon.

In order to build the main building of the launch base, Xia Guo used nearly 11000 construction workers and more than 600 engineers. They worked in three shifts, day and night, and it took only about nine months to complete all the civil works. It has also experienced extreme weather conditions of severe cold and scorching heat, which can be called a miracle in the history of world architecture.

With these valuable experiences that they have spent countless blood and sweat exploring, it will be much easier to construct the subsequent 6999 launch bases.

"After three months, can we test the cannon?" Lao Tao asked again.

Qin Ke thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't take more than three months. I will try to have the 'Aegis' at full power on New Year's Day next year. But accordingly, Lao Tao, you will have to work overtime." Finally, Qin Ke laughed.

"I'm not afraid of working overtime. I can only finish the work ahead of time. I'd rather work overtime every day and make the overtime work more intense -!" Lao Tao shouted to the sky. After shouting, he remembered that he was not really in the wind and snow in the wilderness. , but in the office, I didn’t know what others would think when they heard it, and they suddenly became embarrassed.

Qin Ke laughed and signaled Shimmer to shut down the system.

The three of them took off the "Ling Lemon Remote Vision Device" and Lao Tao put on his glasses again. The three of them "returned" to the office. Thinking of Lao Tao's performance just now, they couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

"Come on." Qin Ke raised his hand, and Lao Tao and Ning Qingyun gave him a high-five: "Come on!"

At this moment, assistant Chen Ya hurried in. She looked nervous and whispered: "Academician Qin, Academician Ning, something happened!" (End of Chapter)
