Deep Space Fleet

The machine in front of Zhe Zai is the legendary industrial mother machine, the core of industry.

The mother machine is a manufacturing machine and machine, which is usually used to manufacture various high-precision machine tools.

However, this thing is also under seal, and normally it will not be turned on.

The one around Wu Zai is a heavy metal 3D printer, and it is also the only ultra-large machine currently running. It can be used to produce some parts that are not particularly complicated.

3D printing is a rapid prototyping technology. Based on digital model files, it uses powder-like metals or ceramics and other adhesive materials to construct objects layer by layer.

In other words, after designing the device from the computer, it will automatically spit out various components and assemble it.

"This classmate can only see, can't touch, don't disturb. You can't afford to lose it!"

One of the staff members saw Zhang Yuandong looking away and quickly issued a warning.

They don't like visitors like Zhang Yuan very much.

Flying around this place, if you really hit something,

Although it is not a big deal, the safety protection in the industrial zone has been perfected for a long time. It's just that I still hate it.

师 Brother Zhao cursed with a smile: "Lao Li, what are you doing? This is my brother, be respectful!"

"Brother Li," Zhang Yuan called quickly.

每 Every place in this production room is an important position with knowledge-intensive, technology-intensive, and talent-intensive positions. The minimum academic qualification is also a PhD, and it is nothing to call a brother.

Stretching out his hand without smiling, Lao Li took a look at Zhang Yuan and said, "These are the top big toys. If you want to study, you can call me, as long as you don't sneak in and mess around yourself!

"Several foreign interns have slipped into the warehouse and almost turned on the industrial machine, but they blew me up."

Brother Zhao asked with a smile: "What later?"

Brother Li snorted: "I wanted to call the police and force them to hibernate, but watching them cry and runny, they felt soft and let go again ..."

Brother Zhao turned back and joked: "Lao Li is a person with very soft ears. If you act poorly and shed tears of pain, tell him to use a 3D printer to help you get a real machine out. ... "

Zhang Yuan stared, and for a long time, found that he couldn't look very poor.

He seems to have no way to rely on acting skills to eat. From now on, he can only win with strength.

参观 The entire first floor of the factory is almost visited, and there are the second, third, and fourth floors below the spaceship. They are the mineral smelting and light industrial production factories, which can be visited later.

Zhang Yuan was also embarrassed to disturb others' work. He pulled Brother Zhao and left in a hurry ...

"After reading this, what do you think?" Brother Zhao asked for the first time.

Zhang Yuan sighed, "Great! These machines can be said to be the crystallization of the wisdom of countless people, even more important than our lives!"

"But it's very embarrassing, a feeling of strength and nowhere. Most of the machines are idle, and the production lines are scattered."

Brother Zhao Zhao nodded, "Well, I think so too. If we successfully reach our destination and get a lot of resources, then we can use them ..."

After the visit, Zhang Yuan had a general idea of ​​the entire industrial system.

The two continued to board the bus and passed by the astronomical observatory. Some astronomers were doing astronomical observations.

There is no lighthouse or satellite signal in the universe. You can only determine your position by observing the stars in the sky.

But the entire galaxy is not static, and is constantly moving and rotating. In space navigation, the difference is absolutely thousands of miles away. If the direction of movement is a few microseconds different, it may end up traveling several tens of billions of kilometers. Therefore, a large number of calculations and observations are required to make a more accurate judgment.

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, "According to the date, our spaceship should be in Mars' orbit, right?"

青 Zhao Qingfeng nodded, "It's been more than a month, do you want to go in and see?"

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to feel the greatness of the "Earth Age", staying in it, could not feel that he was in the universe.

There is always a wonderful illusion that I still live on the earth.

This is actually a good thing. If you are always reminding yourself that you are in the universe, there are deadly dangers around you, and the psychological pressure will sharply increase. When depression spreads on a large scale, it will be troublesome.

In the orbital position of Mars, the communication delay with Earth is about 4 minutes.

It takes 4 minutes for the message to reach Earth, and it takes 4 minutes for the Earth to receive the reply message, so the information exchange time is 8 minutes.

When Zhang Yuan communicates with the earth, it usually takes the form of short video.

"Look at the observatory."

Zhang Yuan carefully flew up to the observatory.

A bright starry sky is just overhead. Here, you can have the closest contact with Wei's universe.

The observatory is very quiet, or every place in the gravity-free zone is very quiet ~ www.readwn.com ~ just a rustling sound from the headphones.

Under the illumination of the ancient stars, 见证 witnessed the brilliance of the entire Milky Way with your own eyes, and produced another kind of quietness.

This quietness can immerse the restless mind.

观测 Observing the earth with the naked eye, you will find that the earth has become a very ordinary little star, and the sun light reflected at a specific angle shows a light blue color.

In a way, it's a bit similar to Sirius.

Mars is about 60 million kilometers away from the spacecraft, and looks slightly larger than the earth. The reflected sunlight is an orange color.

Through the astronomical telescope, you can even see the space city-"Mars 3" staying above Mars!

玛 "Mars 3", once the prototype of the "Earth Age" spacecraft, a mobile space city.

Its size is only one-third of the Earth Age, but it is enough for the technicians inside.

Future Space City will be designed according to the concept of “movable”.

放大 If you zoom in to the entire solar system, you will find that the planet Mars is too ordinary, and it has no great development value for current humans.

From the perspective of the space industry, Mars is not as good as the moon. The moon is close enough to the earth, the transportation is convenient, the gravity is low, there is no atmosphere, and various resources are abundant.

From the perspective of available resources, Mars is not comparable to Europa and Titan.

There are large gaseous planets near Titan and Titan, with their own natural nuclear fuel storage.

There are countless hydrocarbons on Titan, if you can mine this planet, you have a lot of oil. The large amount of easily minable organic matter is still quite valuable.
