After taking care of the perfect matter, Yu Yifeng returned to his job and began his daily busy life.
Time passed quickly, and in the second month, a big thing happened: the first batch of experimental super machines were finally manufactured!
After the super machine was released, a group of experts immediately gathered around and started another emergency transformation.
Its height and width are several times larger than ordinary excavators. It is at least 13 meters in height and has a mass of 1,300 tons. It looks like a moving steel fortress!
Of course, the low gravity of Mars has also contributed to the situation. The gravity of the same mass is only one-third that of the Earth. This means that there is a lot less care about materials. Its chassis is similar to a tank's tracks, with a huge robotic arm above it.
, can wield thousands of tons of powerful force.
What a ferocious nuclear-powered monster, Yu Yifeng couldn't help but sigh. If a super excavator were to collide with the strongest tank on earth, it would be able to crush the tank into a meat pie just by relying on its own size and weight!
With the control of the operator, the first batch of unmanned excavators drove to the uranium mining area, and then the computer automatically took over.
Their top speed is only 30 kilometers per hour. They don't run very fast, but their digging speed is not slow.
Yu Yifeng looked at the screen and nodded: "This unmanned driving system is not bad, and the excavation speed is also good. The best thing is that it can work for a long time. Even if there is an accident, there will be no casualties. How many machines like this have there?
Taiwan? Can it be mass-produced?”
An expert next to him shook his head and said: "Currently there are only 4 experimental models... Captain, when the Kinov Industrial Base is up in a few days, mass production will be no problem. The only problem is unmanned driving.
.”
"Oh? What's wrong with driverless driving?" Yu Yifeng asked.
"There is no magnetic field in the northern hemisphere of Mars, so it is easily affected by cosmic radiation, and satellite signals are also seriously interfered with. It won't be a problem for a short time, but I'm afraid something will happen over time. Most unmanned driving systems rely on satellite navigation..."
"To solve this problem, we can either launch more satellites and establish a complete satellite navigation system. Or we can establish more signal stations on the surface. According to calculations, it is enough to establish a dozen signal base stations in relatively high areas.
.I think the surface base station solution is better, saving time and effort..."
Yu Yifeng nodded. Since the expert has a specific plan, he must follow what the expert said. "Please leave these matters to your own devices." He replied casually. He doesn't trust the people he uses, and he doesn't use the people he doubts. He has always been the one.
concept.
In fact, the unmanned driving systems on the earth are relatively mature. For example: unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the military, unmanned submarines, etc. Relatively speaking, in places with complex but dangerous environments, it is more convenient and safer to use unmanned equipment.
.
After so many years of development on the earth, GPS navigation and Beidou navigation are densely covered in every corner, and the accuracy can reach centimeter level. Therefore, driverless driving is particularly easy to use.
But Mars is different. There are only two polar satellites in total, and they are dedicated satellites for geological exploration. They are a bit inadequate for navigation. If you want accurate positioning, at least four satellites are needed.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish a ground signal station. The signal does not need to cover the whole world, it only needs to cover a mining area.
The distance between each of the four excavators is more than 300 meters. This is to prevent system errors and accidental collisions. The distance of 300 meters is enough. In the beginning, the driving system will inevitably have imperfections.
You need to leave enough distance to facilitate monitoring personnel to take over manually.
"They can work continuously for a week and then maintain for ten hours. If everything goes well, they can excavate 100,000 tons of mineral soil every day." An expert said.
Yu Yifeng nodded and looked at the screen intently. Those machines were wielding huge steel shovels, and the stones in the mine were being crushed and dug up continuously. It could really be said to be explosive mining...
He was very satisfied when he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, there is no problem with safety, right? There shouldn't be any problems like nuclear explosions?"
"Of course not!" The speaker was Professor Ding Yidong who came to visit. His voice immediately raised an octave, because the nuclear power engine of the excavator was designed by their Wild Wolf Design Bureau.
"You don't have to worry about safety issues. Our nuclear fuel is low-concentration uranium and will never reach the critical point of explosion. Even if the engine breaks down, there is only a very low possibility of leakage." Ding Yidong did not finish his words.
, just used the word "extremely low, extremely low".
"We only add about seven days of nuclear fuel at a time, and we refill it every time for maintenance. Even if it leaks, it won't be much. This is Mars, and there is no need to consider environmental pollution. So there is no problem with safety!"
"Okay..." Although Ding Yidong choked him, Yu Yifeng didn't say much. He was still very tolerant and respectful of capable big scientists.
At 12 o'clock in the morning, the four test models were successfully operated. No accidents occurred during the period, and all values were in line with expectations. At this rate, it is more than enough to dig 100,000 tons of uranium ore in a day.
"For some reason, the soil of these uranium mines is particularly loose. It may be due to the influence of geology...Other mines are not so easy to dig," an expert said.
However, the test is not over yet. The four excavators must complete a cycle of at least 7 days. Only when all the results are in line with expectations can mass production be officially launched...
Since the new excavator was put into the ground, many laboratories seem to have been stimulated and have accelerated their research. Experimental tests of super trains and cutting robots have also begun one after another.
People are increasingly adapting to this busy and fulfilling life, and these are all good reports.
The most important thing is that the first phase of the Kinov Industrial Factory is finally completed, which is what Yu Yifeng is most looking forward to! As long as the first phase of this super factory is completed, people's industrial capacity will increase significantly, and a large number of
Heavy industrial machinery will be able to be mass produced.
In the past few months, smelting workers have also smelted a large amount of metal resources. Steel, copper, aluminum, and titanium are piled in rows in the warehouse, like mountains, ready for use. These resources are used for large-scale production.
Manufacturing provides favorable conditions.
Yu Yifeng was really happy.
Each industrial report basically meets expectations or even exceeds expectations!
These great scientists and engineers were all worried and had such headaches at first. But after a while, it seemed that it was not that difficult... Human beings are really a race that can create miracles. So many technical difficulties have been solved in a short period of time.
Conquered within a few months, this cannot be said to be luck, but a kind of strength!
One by one, they spoke more confidently, their voices became louder, their passion was still full, and they devoted themselves to their work even more crazily...
Yu Yifeng was very satisfied with the current situation of Noah. He simply read the report and basically got the data he wanted. "Exceeded expectations! Exceeded expectations! Meets expectations!"
However, among a bunch of reports, there was a scientific report that listed something that interested Yu Yifeng, and that was the research report on Mars viruses!
The genetic sequencing results of some disease-causing viruses have come out. These viruses are basically similar in structure to earth viruses, and their genetic material is also composed of DNA and RNA.
However, they are slightly more complex than viruses. They are generally able to absorb nuclear energy, synthesize proteins, and survive independently, but they are simpler than bacteria. They should be an organism between viruses and bacteria.
This report points out that the origin of life on Earth may have originated from meteorites! Because people have found DNA fragments in meteorites, life may have developed from extraterrestrial meteorites!
So, does the origin of the Martian virus also come from meteorites? Because the genetic structure of the Martian virus is so similar to life on earth, people can’t help but wonder. Has this kind of meteorite containing DNA fragments spread throughout the world?
How can the universe allow most planets to have life?
The origin of life in the universe has become more confusing and difficult to guess...
Well, what Yu Yifeng is focusing on is not this, but another one: people who have been infected by the Mars virus have higher cell activity!
Their physiques have become better, which means they are likely to live longer!
Seeing this, Yu Yifeng was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He read this paragraph of report back and forth carefully, slowly chewing on its meaning. He felt that he should have understood it correctly.
Extend life? Extend it by 50%? Is it true or false?
After a while, he finally issued an order through the communication device in the captain's room, asking the research team to come to attend the parliament. He also notified some biologists, members of the Security Department and some members of the parliament to be present.
