Vol 2 Chapter 325: , Space factory

Ji Rong and Lao Wang were sent away, and Qin Yi also walked to the side of the Galaxy Research Institute.

Space factory, this is what Qin Yi has been planning, building a factory in space is very costly and has many technical requirements.

It may be very easy to build a factory on the earth. It is nothing more than finding a plot of land, building a house, pulling in hydropower and the like, and then installing some machinery, equipment and so on.

Even if it is the highest degree of dust-free factories, fully automatic factories and the like, although the requirements are high, building them is only a matter of spending money.

But if you want to build a factory in space, it is not just as simple as spending money. It must have strong technical support.

微 Under the conditions of microgravity, vacuum, and low temperature in space, to build a space factory that can operate normally from scratch is as difficult as building a factory on the ground.

Even though there are now large anti-gravity spacecraft that can easily travel to and from space and the ground, there are still many technical problems that this space factory needs to solve.

Qin Yi estimates that the investment of a space factory also needs at least one trillion yuan, and it can be said that it needs to be piled up with gold.

The cost is huge and the technical difficulties are many.

In theory, Qin Yi does not have to be obsessed with building a space factory in space. If Qin Yi said on the ground that he wanted to build a factory, a production base, etc., I do n’t know how many people would ask grandpa to tell his grandma Qin Yi settled in the past.

There is no need to build a space factory in space.

But Qin Yi is very clear that building factories in space has advantages that are not on the ground.

的 The environment in space is very special. Microgravity, vacuum, cleanliness, and abundant solar energy are not available on the ground.

Rhenium can produce high-quality products that are difficult to manufacture or expensive on the planet, such as high-purity large-crystalline silicon materials and gallium arsenide materials for the electronics industry.

Rhenium can also produce special medicines, such as interferon, that are difficult to produce on the ground to treat difficult conditions.

Interferon was passed by Uncle Sam at the end of the 20th century. It was made from biological cells using genetic engineering technology, but the purity was very low, because it had to be separated from a mixture of more than 100 other biological cell products. Be careful, the speed is slow, otherwise the mixture in the solution will rise or sink easily.

Because of the microgravity environment in space, this problem does not occur. Scientists believe that the calculation of interferon produced in space is 100 to 400 times as pure as that produced on Earth.

The effect of interferon is very large, mainly used for the treatment of advanced hair cell leukemia, kidney cancer, melanoma, Kaposi sarcoma, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and low-grade malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Others have been used for osteosarcoma and breast Cancer, multiple myeloma, head and neck cancer, and bladder cancer are also suitable for acute and chronic viral hepatitis C and chronic active hepatitis B.

It can be said that interferon has a very good therapeutic effect on various cancers.

特殊 In the special environment in space, it will be easier and more cost-effective to produce a lot of sophisticated things in this environment.

In the field of high-precision electronics, the field of medicine is of great significance.

In addition, Qin Yi studied in the science and technology tower. It is also very clear that building factories in space is almost an inevitable trend of the development of civilization.

One of the most important reasons is the energy in space.

The energy of the earth is limited. With the development of human science and technology, the energy required will become larger and larger. In ancient times, everyone burned wood. It is enough. Now if the energy required globally is to burn wood, all trees in the world are cut down. It's not enough.

With the popularization and promotion of private anti-gravity aircraft, the global energy crisis has begun to emerge, and the energy demand in the future will be even greater.

The energy in space is inexhaustible. As long as the sun is not extinguished, the energy in space will never be used up, and the solar energy in space is endless. The huge amount of energy released every moment is simply insignificant.

The development history of civilization is the history of development of science and technology, the history of development of transportation, the history of development of power, and the history of development of energy.

To move towards interstellar space, humans will inevitably slowly move factories into space and learn to use more solar energy. This is an inevitable trend and a trend of development.

What's more, human beings want to get out of the earth and into interstellar space. These anti-gravity spaceships alone are far from enough.

I'm sorry, the current anti-gravity spacecraft can only be regarded as a boat among bamboo rafts, small rivers, and small lakes. It can still be walked in small rivers and small ponds.

If you really want to rely on it to go to the waves of the stars and seas, it is tantamount to dreaming.

It is like in the era of big sailing, without mastering advanced shipbuilding technology, to go to the sea to wander, there is no return, no idea how to die.

The same is true of the current anti-gravity spacecraft. It may be used between the Earth and the moon, and it may even be used to explore the entire solar system. However, if you want to rely on it to leave the solar system, or even use it for interstellar colonization and immigration, that is basically It is impossible.

If you want interstellar colony, interstellar immigration, or the like, human beings need larger and stronger spaceships, and this spaceship is obviously impossible to build on earth. It must be built in space to build.

No matter from any aspect, the space factory is also a project that must be launched.

I was sitting in the car, and Qin Yi looked at the scenery outside, thinking continuously.

Of course, money is not a problem. Now Qin Yi seems to have only money left. The subsidiaries of the company are very profitable. In addition, in the past two years, Qin Yi also stopped tossing. There is no problem at all.

The key now is the technical aspect. For this matter, Qin Yi has also been preparing for a long time. Someone at the Xinghe Institute of Science and Technology has taken the lead in research for a long time.

The spaceship building of the Xinghe Science and Technology Group headquarters building is very close to the Xinghe Science and Technology Research Institute and is in the core area of ​​Huangjing Town. Within a few minutes, Qin Yi came to the Space Science and Technology Research Institute under the Xinghe Science and Technology Research Institute.

The head of the Institute of Space Science and Technology is Wang Songling, one of the five people that Qin Yi had returned from the pit.

In the Institute of Space Science and Technology, Wang Songling is very busy. Recently Qin Yi has been here too often. He knows that the boss is going to launch a space factory project, so he is even more busy.

In a huge hall, Wang Songling in a white coat and a group of people in the same white coat stared at the huge display, watching intently.

显示器 On this display, the most powerful quantum computer is being used to simulate the operation of the space factory they designed, and the data from experiments in various aspects, and then using a powerful computer for simulation tests, has almost become a trend in scientific research now.

The advantages of computer simulation are obvious. With sufficient data, experiments and various simulation tests can be performed at the least cost.

模拟 The cost of simulation tests in a computer is almost zero. It is nothing more than entering data and letting the computer calculate it. It can also continuously modify the data and repeat experiments.

如果 If the experiment is to be carried out, it will not only consume a lot of resources and workers, etc. Some experiments are even very dangerous, and an accident can cause a serious accident.

Of course, scientific experiments are scientific experiments after all, not computer simulations can replace. Many things must be tested to get accurate data and results.

The basis of computer simulation experiments is based on huge basic experiments. Without these huge basic experiments, everything is empty talk and has no meaning.

上面 On the huge display, a slightly strange factory is continuously running. This factory looks completely different from the square factory above the ground.

It is a three-dimensional factory, the overall appearance looks a bit like a sea urchin with spikes.

Of course, this is a giant oversized 'sea urchin'.

‘Each 'spike' above is actually a long space pier. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can be used to dock spaceships, and of course it is also used to make spaceship docks.

Obviously, this designed space factory should be a factory used to make spacecraft, and it should also be a space factory used to make very large spacecraft.

There are a total of eight long docks, each of which is aligned in one direction, and can start construction of 8 super-large spaceships at the same time.

画面 The screen on the monitor is constantly enlarged, and it is absolutely small when you look at it as a whole. However, after the screen is enlarged, I know how huge this space factory is in the computer simulation operation.

One of its docks is more than 10 kilometers long. Now the largest anti-gravity spacecraft parked in the past seemed very small, just like a small point. Any large mechanical arm on it can be easily grasped and fixed firmly on it. In this long dock.

巨大 A huge, sturdy robotic arm is constantly moving in the sky, carrying oversized parts, and in this huge dock, a 10-kilometre-long spacecraft is constantly assembled.

Because of computer simulation, the speed is also accelerated a lot. In just a few minutes, a huge spaceship was built from this huge dock and began to slowly fly to the bright starry sky.
