Minke's black technology

Chapter 353 The Circulatory System
It will take a while for the quantum computer to collect data. Of course, Li Maoye will not wait in the underground base. After checking and confirming that there is no problem, he will take the elevator back to his personal office soon.

There are many passages leading to the underground secret base. They are either emergency escape routes or secret passages for intelligent robots to transport goods. Only the passage in the office is the most used one, even though it has not been used a few times so far.

Not long after returning to the office, Li Maoye saw Assistant Xie approaching. In addition to reporting on the daily work of the laboratory, he also asked some questions for the relevant departments.

For example, Assistant Xie also mentioned the abnormal fluctuation of data just now, but this is just a trivial matter. After the network test was passed, the bandwidth of Meow Star Lab has been expanded a lot, which can almost be compared with the domestic Ali cloud server. .

Meow Star Group itself has the qualifications and services in this area. The cloud compression server is placed in the headquarters building, so this is just a small matter, but the Meow Star Lab is special. No matter what you do, you need to communicate with it. Say hello, otherwise it would be bad to cause misunderstanding.

This time, the abnormal data fluctuation has a wide range of influence. Almost the global network freezes for a second or two, and it still spreads out from the center of Pengcheng. It is only natural for the relevant departments to notice and inquire.

"It's okay, I just tested the functions of data search, collection and storage, and there will be no problems now!" Li Maoye just said a few words and perfunctory. The reason for his application was to build an Internet database for the laboratory, and he wanted to provide global websites. Information data is backed up.

The relevant departments can't understand the usefulness of this kind of data backup, but they have no reason to reject the inexplicable move of the bald man. Anyway, it doesn't look harmful. Maybe they just want to give their favorite Two-dimensional animation or What about small movies for data backup?
In addition to this small matter, the new space transport ship designed by the laboratory has completed the test, and now one has been officially produced and is ready to be launched into space through the [Earth Cannon].

And Li Maoye needs to attend the acceptance ceremony in the past, and compare the difference between the new space transport and the old version. The new space transport can be simply called the transport ship version 2.0, and it is mainly used to transport goods between the moon and the space station.

Due to the rapid development of the moon base mining business, the previous space transport ship is already a bit outdated. Although it has only been put into use for a few years, according to the development needs, it is necessary to upgrade the original space ship.

In addition to transporting resources and goods, the upgraded space transport ship can also carry astronauts. The maximum number of people can go up to six people at a time, but it is much more convenient than the bald eagle using liquid rockets to land on the moon. After all, there are passengers on board. Hundreds of tons of cargo.

At present, the working method at the Guanghan Palace base on the moon is still far beyond control, and data signal delay is still a big problem, but Li Maoye already has a solution in his heart, but he has to wait until the quantum computer is actually completed before he can figure it out.

This matter can be discussed later. It took Li Maoye a few hours to get to the destination on the Flying cat transport plane. He got off the plane and went directly to the warehouse to see the version 2.0 of the transport ship.

In front of him is a rectangular spaceship with no wings and only space engines fixed on both sides. After all, there is no atmosphere in outer space, so there is no need to consider air resistance at all, and it only needs to be designed according to the actual situation.

The inside of the transport ship was empty, and there was no complicated life support system. Except for the metal brackets used to fix the cargo, there were six passenger seats hanging on the metal wall. It was obvious at a glance that they were not for people to sit on, because they were six seats. a semicircular groove.

"Oh? Are you planning to pack people in cylinder-like jars and transport them to their destination?" Li Maoye looked at these grooves and quickly judged the design intentions of these guys.

The transport ship is designed and developed in a laboratory, but Li Maoye has never interfered with the work of the staff below, unless there are really big problems, otherwise he is willing to delegate power to others.

It was Qin Hua who answered the question. He explained: "Anyway, they only want to transport people alive to the moon. As for other aspects, they can save costs as much as possible. Besides, the inside of the metal tank is also very comfortable. Fell asleep!"

Then Li Maoye went to check the metal can-like passenger cabin, which was a 2.5-meter-high circular pillar, and the inner dressing was made of soft sponge-like material, which could effectively reduce the impact. Passengers in spacesuits.

There is also an electric propulsion engine nozzle outside it, which can be used for short-distance flights. It is probably one of the safety measures to prevent accidents, but in Li Maoye's opinion, there are very few opportunities to use it.

"Isn't this thing moving faster in the universe?" Li Maoye looked at the small propeller on the metal can, and then analyzed: "You should give priority to precision, so that it can play a role in some occasions instead!"

Qin Hua nodded to express his understanding, and quickly explained: "We also think the same way. If there is an accident on the transport ship, I am afraid that the passengers inside will not have time to escape. It is the best policy to wait for rescue in place! And these propellers are for the convenience of rescue work. , such as controlling it to fly to rescue ships and so on.”

It is equipped with external cameras on the front, back, left, and right sides, and there is a flexible screen inside that can be operated by touch and click. It is completely controlled by an intelligent program, just as simple as playing a game.

Li Maoye walked around the metal can, and then patted its outer shell. He could feel its firmness, and then said with satisfaction: "Although it is not as comfortable as the starship spacecraft designed by Musk, it is suitable for short-distance travel in outer space." Good for travel too.”

Thanks to the efforts of the Meow Star Group and Rabbit Space Agency, it only takes about 8 hours for the transport ship to fly from the Nantianmen space station to the moon. It can only be done by adding the powerful thrust of the star engine, compared with the previous eight or nine days. The trip to the moon has been many times faster.

However, if you want to go to the moon base at present, you still have to rely on liquid rockets to reach the space station, and then take a space transport ship from the space station to the moon. It seems that there is an extra step in the transfer process and a long way. In fact, this is the fastest way to reach the moon. .

Otherwise, it will not only take a very long time to take a rocket to the moon, but also the cost of landing on the moon will be astonishingly high.

Since Meow Star Group’s [Earth Cannon] was built, its role has become more and more obvious. With years of optimization and improvement by Academician Ma, the cost of launching materials to the synchronous space station has been controlled at 500 yuan per kilogram. This is still the case of currency appreciation .

Compared with the cost of launching materials into low-Earth orbit in the past, the cost is effectively controlled by the space engine technology. As long as the materials reach low-Earth orbit, they can be transported by a spacecraft equipped with a super electric push engine. The biggest cost is still Electricity expenses.

In order to provide sufficient energy for the Daxueshan launch base, the national government immediately built three cold fusion reactors near the base after obtaining the Bald Eagle cold fusion technology, and all the electricity generated was used to supply the [Earth Cannon] and the base. Living area use.

In today's launch plan, in addition to sending three space transport ships to the Nantianmen space station, it will also transport a large amount of living supplies to the Lingxiaobaodian space station, because there will be a heavy rocket to be launched from the Jiuquan base in a few days, and then it will be launched. There is a manned spaceship going up together.

This improved Fat Five rocket will arrive at the Lagrangian point as planned, and then the six astronauts in the manned spacecraft can receive and use these materials. At that time, the other six astronauts who will change shifts will be launched next month.

At present, the Lingxiaobaodian space station has been basically completed. Not only has the planned third ring project been completed, but even the fifth ring is under planning, and the staff of the space station have also arrived one after another.

According to the original design, it can accommodate 150 people to live and work together, but until today there are less than 60 people, so a lot of work is done by stand-in robots, otherwise the operation of the entire space station will have problems.

With the increase of space station personnel, the daily consumption of materials is a huge expenditure. For example, the air that humans must breathe has to be dealt with first. Aerospace experts have all studied air filtration and oxygen regeneration, but no one has done it once and for all. The only way is to rely on biotechnology to decompose carbon dioxide, and to absorb and filter the undesirable components in the air through equipment, so that the air in the entire space station can be regenerated and circulated.

Li Maoye suddenly asked the aerospace rabbit next to him: "It is said that the space agency plans to build an ecological cycle system in the space station, so that algae can decompose and absorb carbon dioxide in large quantities?"

The astronaut rabbit didn't hesitate, and the academician's question was not a confidential question, so he quickly explained their research work in detail.

Thanks to the huge volume of the Lingxiaobaodian space station, the space agency has built a glass interlayer filled with fresh water and blue algae on it. The area and volume are very large, and it also accounts for 60% of the weight of the entire space station. After passing the problem, it is basically on the right track later, and it is estimated that the problem of the oxygen source of the space station will be solved soon.

"But before that, we still have to rely on traditional technical means to solve the air filter regeneration!" The space rabbit finally said.

Li Maoye nodded to express his understanding. In fact, besides the air that human beings must breathe, eating, drinking and drinking are also big problems that must be solved. However, this problem has been solved well as early as a year ago.

Since the promotion of the cloning project by rabbits, the Magic City Cloning Technology R&D Center has continued to make new breakthroughs in this area. This time they not only solved the problem of stem cell cloning, but also further reduced the cost to an acceptable range with the cloning meat technology provided by Li Maoye.

In other words, Li Maoye's dream of using cloned meat to replace artificially cultured meat is about to come true. However, the flower planting government considers that the public may not be able to accept it. On the other hand, although the cost of cloned meat has been reduced a lot, It is still a bit difficult to really popularize it.

"In addition, there are issues of technology diffusion and ethical and moral issues, etc." When Aerospace Rabbit introduced how to solve the problem of eating and drinking, he focused on explaining the impact of cloned meat technology on the aerospace industry. With this technology, they want to live in space It is no longer a dream to eat big fish and meat here.

No matter how cloned meat is meat, it actually tastes similar to natural cultured meat, and there are not so many messy viruses and bacteria.

"It's even more impossible to have antibiotics!" The astronaut rabbit emphasized.

After the R&D and improvement of the Magic City Cloning Technology Research and Development Center, if the space rabbits want to eat meat, they only need to choose the type and part of the meat they want to eat on the cloning meat machine one week in advance, and then it will be produced from the machine when the time comes. , and will also considerately remove the meat soaked outside the cloned meat.

Then there will be a cooking robot to process it. The whole process is operated by intelligent machines, and there is no need for humans to do it by themselves. Therefore, what is finally presented to the astronauts is a delicious meal.

"It is worth mentioning that even if the astronauts can't finish eating, it will not cause waste, because the domestic garbage in the space station, including urine and feces, will be recycled through environmentally friendly spores, continue to enter the ecosystem cycle, and then become production during the cycle. The culture medium needed to make cloned meat ... the only thing lost in the process is time and energy."

Space Rabbit is talking about another meow star black technology product, garbage mushroom spores that have become synonymous with environmental protection, and it has become an indispensable and important thing in the aerospace industry.

Originally, among the domestic garbage produced by astronauts in space, except for water resources, seldom could be recycled, and it was extremely difficult to deal with. However, after the emergence of garbage mushroom environmental protection technology, people found that this stuff is simply a necessity for space travel. .

As long as household garbage or other garbage is thrown to garbage mushrooms for disposal, it will eventually be decomposed and reduced to basic substances, which can be recycled regardless of whether it is toxic or non-toxic, especially the recycling of water resources is much simpler.

Experts originally planned to use garbage mushrooms to decompose and recycle them, and then turn these mushrooms into spare food for astronauts, which can provide enough calories when resources are scarce. Although the meat of garbage mushrooms is not unpalatable, eating too much is not easy It's easy to get bored.

But soon they discovered that there is no need to eat mushrooms all day long, because the Magic City Cloning Technology Research and Development Center has made a major breakthrough in the cloned meat technology, which is to process garbage mushrooms or clean water algae and other things technically, and finally transform them into meat. Become the culture medium needed for cloned meat technology.

In this way, a closed-loop ecosystem is created. Astronauts produce domestic garbage, urine and feces, etc., and then the garbage is eaten by mushrooms, and then the mushrooms are processed into culture medium for making cloned meat, and finally the cloned meat is consumed by astronauts. eat up...
