Minke's black technology

Chapter 391 Super Big Project

The moon is called the moon as seen by human naked eyes. It is the only natural satellite of Blue Star and the fifth largest satellite in the solar system.

For humans, the moon is the closest celestial body to the blue star in the universe. Normally, humans should study it thoroughly, but in fact there are still many unsolved mysteries.

However, since the launch of the Meow Star space program, the mysterious veil shrouded in the moon has been gradually revealed, and people have learned more about it, and traces of humans appearing on the moon are extremely frequent.

For human beings, the unknown is a kind of fear, and fear is prone to imagination.

At first, many people thought that the moon was an artificial celestial body, a space eye used by aliens to monitor human beings, but as humans explored it more and more, such rumors were naturally self-defeating.

People have not found the facilities used by aliens to monitor the earth on the moon, nor have they found alien bases on the back of the moon. Nothing else exists.

On the contrary, there may be some things inside the moon, but they are still not man-made spacecraft or anything, but ores that are valuable to human beings, such as very high-purity iron ore, copper ore, titanium ore, tungsten ore and other precious metal ores.

In particular, the Von Karman impact crater in the Aitken Basin on the back of the moon has magnetic and gravity anomalies in the largest and oldest impact crater on the moon and even in the solar system.

As early as more than ten years ago, Rabbit's Chang'e-[-] landed in this impact crater. During mineral exploration, it was found that there were heavy metal "foreign objects" in this crater that were different from other places, which caused this place to have a stronger gravitational force than other places. Larger, and with anomalous magnetic disturbances.

Scientists at the time estimated that this heavy metal anomaly covered an area of ​​5 square kilometers, weighed more than 2000 trillion tons, and was buried at a depth of about 300 kilometers.

Due to technical limitations at the time, Rabbit did not continue to dig deep. After the space program of Meow Star Group developed smoothly, someone mentioned the heavy metal minerals buried here again.

In the first few years, the asteroid mining work is enough to keep people busy, and the Mew Star Group simply does not have more power to mine new mines on the moon.

Until now, there is no extra energy to mine sub-mines. With the continuous expansion of lunar miners, the number of miners has grown from more than 3 to about [-], which is enough for a group of people to mine minerals underground on the moon.

However, considering that mining is much more difficult than mining on asteroids, the wages of the new mine base are much higher, and only the best miners can apply for transfer.

In addition, Meow Star Group is still carrying out an extremely grand project. They plan to build a huge "platinum crusher" on this new mining area. Its shape is similar to a funnel, but its size is very large. , can directly completely cover the Aitken Basin on the back of the moon.

The Aitken Basin is about 2500 kilometers in diameter and about 13 kilometers deep. If you want to build something on it to completely cover it, it's like this person is talking in his sleep.

But in the Meow Star space program, there is a similar plan, which is to build a large ore crusher on the back of the moon, which simultaneously takes into account the functions of catching ore from space and automatically crushing ore.

Originally, the ore crusher was only a few hundred kilometers in size, but as the external conditions changed, Meow Xing made adjustments according to the actual situation, increasing the size of the ore crusher by about ten times.

"After all, there is so much platinum on the moon that there is no need to transport most of it back, so we have to find a way out for it!" Li Maoye explained to others in this way.

Under the insistence of the bald man, this super-large "platinum crusher" plan was approved. Anyway, the Meow Star Group has a lot of money, and it doesn't care about wasting some worthless platinum metal on the moon.

Not only that, but this big project started soon. Anyway, a lot of metal blocks have been piled up near the moon base. Whether it is platinum, gold or silver, there is almost no room to pile them up. If there is no way to deal with a batch of metal blocks , sooner or later you have to stop working until there is a place to store it.

Today, the three metals, platinum, gold, and silver, have long been common metals on Blue Star, and their prices are even cheaper than brass. Therefore, it is not worthwhile to spend a lot of effort to transport them back from the moon.

The ore crusher project has solved many problems. It not only helped the Meow Star Group solve the problem of metal block storage, but also allowed the lunar worker team to continue to expand, helped the Rabbit government solve the employment problem of more than [-], and even solved the problem of the Blue Star Group. The big problem with the continued decline in metals futures.

After the news of this engineering plan spread, global metal futures prices continued to rise sharply, completely saving the mining industry on Blue Star, thus getting rid of the impact of the asteroid.

After all, the "Platinum Crusher" project plan announced by Meow Star Group is too huge. I am afraid that the metal of the entire asteroid needs to be used. A lot of competitive pressure.

These people have overlooked one point. The purpose of Meow Star Group's efforts to build super-large pulverizers is to start the space mining business and transform the moon into a large-scale automated base integrating mining and smelting.

In addition, this super large project can also solve the employment problem of the rabbit's family. With remote mining and smelting technology, construction, manufacturing and production through remote technology are no longer a problem.

If the anti-gravity engine is mass-produced, the Rabbit government is confident that the people of the whole country will be moved to live in space, and the moon will be the first site where they will settle after entering space.

Therefore, after Li Maoye proposed to revise the adjustment plan, the relevant departments immediately conducted research and review, and finally received the full support of the national government. When the people above were worried about domestic employment issues and social issues such as space immigration, they did not expect the bald boss to suddenly take action to give There is a solution.

The funds accumulated by Meow Star Group over the years also have a place to go, and the domestic people have also gained a lot of benefits, at least because the unemployment problem caused by the popularization of smart machines has been solved, and the national economy seems to have taken a stimulant. More than a dozen percent broke through to 20.00%!
Even with such a high-speed economic growth rate, the domestic economy of flower growers still shows no signs of overheating and slowing down. This has surprised many economists and experts, saying that the original Blue Star economics is outdated and cannot be applied to "cosmic economics." "era!
High economic growth is inevitable. After Li Maoye put forward the population growth proposal a few years ago, relevant departments began to stimulate and increase the birth rate of their citizens, and tried every means to reduce housing prices, stabilize domestic living prices and increase basic wages, reduce childbearing costs and childcare costs, etc.

Now, apart from the fact that housing prices can’t go down, other tasks are doing very well. At least people’s living standards have indeed improved, and the pressure of life has also eased a lot. Judging from the rising birth rate, as long as housing prices are resolved Solved, it is not impossible to restore the fertility rate to the era of "many people are powerful"!

However, while economic development and technological progress have brought about other problems that affect the willingness of the people to have children, for example, more and more people do not want to get married, which leads to a continuous decline in the marriage rate. At the same time, the age of young men and women getting married for the first time is also getting older.

In addition, the feminist movement has had a certain impact, causing many women to give up childbearing to improve their social status. Therefore, there are still many problems to be solved in order to increase the population. It is not simply to increase the fertility rate.

In order to solve the problem of women's willingness to bear children, the government has adopted many methods, but the effect is not very good, so all kinds of weird plans are used.

For example, the development of male fertility technology allows men to replace women to have children.

In addition, some people proposed to use artificial tribute to cultivate newborns, completely freeing women from the responsibility of childbearing, and the feasibility of this technology has passed clinical trials. Applied at scale.

The person in charge of man-made Zigong technology is the Modu Cloning Research Center. After they realized the technology of cloning blood and cloning organs, they quickly shifted the direction of technology research and development to using cloning Zigong to conceive newborns. However, they only used cloning technology to To realize it, there are still many technical problems that cannot be solved.

In the end, Meow Xing Laboratory provided them with the artificial organ technology, and let the Modu Cloning Research Center combine the two, and soon cloned the artificial Zigong with carbon nanomachines, thus perfectly solving the problem of human reproduction outside the body. big problem.

"The promotion of this technology can indeed completely liberate half of the sky for women, and at the same time improve women's social status to a certain extent!" Li Maoye commented with an attitude of approval, and asked a little strangely: "Why haven't Promote it?"

For such a question, the person in charge of the Modu Cloning Research Institute could only smile and not answer.

"The promotion will definitely be promoted, the question is when!" Zhou Lin replied.

Zhou Lin, as a member of the relevant department, understands the cautious attitude of the national government when promoting a new technology, especially when the technology is not too urgent, it is necessary to conduct social research before talking about it.

Li Maoye didn't care too much about this matter. He was more concerned about the "Platinum Crusher" project on the moon, because in addition to the ore processing function on the surface, it also involved the construction of the human virtual data world.
