"This project uses prefabricated assembly construction technology, takes 2 years to prepare, and is completed within half a year. It can carry 120,000 civilian-class spacecraft, 10,000 monarch-class battleships, and 2,000 motherships..."
Zhou Xiaozhi's voice echoed throughout the conference room. Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, Chen Fan and others looked at the huge holographic screen with shock on their faces.
Once this space parking port is completed, human civilization will take another huge step in the field of aerospace. regardless of…
"Mr. Zhou, the project is so big and the construction period is so short, this..." Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing with a tangled face.
Xie Liwu grimaced and agreed: "Yes! How can such a huge project be completed in such a short construction period?"
With the development of human civilization, unlimited energy, a large number of robots, artificial intelligence, and productivity have developed to a very advanced level. However, it is very incredible to complete such a huge project in such a short period of time.
The space parking port is 6,000 kilometers long, half-moon-shaped, and has a complex structure, involving tens of millions of giant parts, and countless small parts. At the same time, the space parking port is located in space, in a severely weightless environment, and construction is extremely difficult. , such a huge project requires completion within two and a half years, which is simply unimaginable.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi, and ordered: "Xiaozhi, introduce the construction process to them in more detail."
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, looked at Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu and others said: "Since the space parking port is in a space environment, except for the resource transportation link, the project will all use mechanical operations. For this purpose, the boss designed We have developed the 'Space Processor', a flying robot adapted to the space processing environment."
As soon as Zhou Xiaozhi finished speaking, a mighty robot appeared on the holographic screen. It had a streamlined metal body and a huge balance wing hanging on its back. Its feet and arms were hung with drill bits, sharp blades, ball-end milling cutters, and turning tools. …and so on, many devices related to processing and manufacturing.
Zhou Xiaozhi looked at the holographic screen and introduced to everyone: "Space Processor: about 2.1 to 7.2 meters high. There are three models in total. The weights are: lightweight: 5.1 tons, medium model: 11.7 tons, heavyweight: 21.9 tons , using the most advanced super battery pack, the output power is: 3 kilowatts, 9 kilowatts, 27,000 kW, maximum flight speed: Mach 2 or more... The manipulator's sensitivity and accuracy reaches: 0.1 nanometers, and is capable of weightlessness, high temperature, high pressure... and other operations environment."
…
As Zhou Xiaozhi explained, the "Space Processor" continued to demonstrate its functions, including parts welding, component assembly, joint construction, bending and torsion component combination... etc., excellent processing skills.
Zhou Xiaozhi looked at everyone and finally introduced: "The space parking port project uses prefabricated assembly construction technology. All construction materials are manufactured on the earth. Sky City is responsible for storage, inspection, deployment, plus spacecraft transportation, and ultimately uses millions With the 'space processor', all-round collaborative assembly, the space parking port project can be completed within half a year, which is very ample time."
As soon as Zhou Xiaozhi finished speaking, the holographic screen quickly played the analytic diagram of creating a space parking port.
The huge space parking port was broken down into tens of millions of parts, which were distributed to major manufacturing centers around the world for production. Then they were gathered in Sky City for storage, and transport ships were assigned to carry them into space. Finally, millions of "space processor" statues were built. Like building blocks, the space parking port is built.
In the conference room, you can hear a pin drop.
Millions of space robots are flying all over the sky in an orderly manner with clear division of labor. The scene of working together to build a space parking port is very spectacular. Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu and others stared at the holographic screen with their eyes wide open. They were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.
"How's it going? According to this plan, are you confident that you can complete the task now?" Zhou Xing looked at everyone and asked with a smile.
"Yes, absolutely yes!" Chen Fan eagerly nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhou Xing with admiration and flattered him, and said: "Mr. Zhou, you are amazing. You can think of this kind of construction method. I am so impressed. Your admiration is like a surging river that never stops flowing, or like the Yellow River that overflows out of control!"
Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing and asked excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, the efficiency of this construction method is amazing. Can other large-scale projects also apply this model?"
"Yes! Mr. Zhou, if we apply this construction method earlier, we can complete many large-scale construction projects earlier." Xie Liwu said with bright eyes.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly and quickly explained: "Isn't it immature before? This construction method involves new materials, new processes, machinery, intelligent computing power... multi-faceted integrated applications, and it is not exhausted now."
"If this construction technology can be used in building space docks and fleets, it can save a lot of time!" Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xingwen with excitement.
Zhou Xing smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is possible, but it is too early to consider the issue of building a fleet now. Let's build the space parking port first."
"Understand that once the space parking port is completed, the global influence of Sky City will be raised to another level." Yang Minghua nodded happily and said with a smile.
Zhou Xing smiled and said nothing, acquiescing to Yang Minghua's statement.
When the Shining Star Group held a meeting, the federal government also held an emergency large-scale meeting.
The fifth federal president of mankind, representatives of twenty nations, and members of the House of Representatives from all continents attended this important meeting.
"Gentlemen, we have just confirmed the great news from the Shining Star Group headquarters. The Zijin expedition team has discovered a living planet, a planet suitable for human immigration." The federal president stood excitedly in the chair of the meeting, delighted. He looked at everyone with dismay and announced.
"What! What kind of life star?"
"Purple Gold Expedition, why haven't you heard of this name? It's a wild expedition?"
"Mr. President, what level of discovery is this?"
"Mr. President, where is this planet located?"
“…”
As soon as the federal president finished speaking, there was an uproar in the conference room, and the members of the House of Representatives asked questions excitedly.
"Everyone, watch the introduction on the big screen! Wait a minute, we will discuss the immigration plan and the starship formation plan proposed by the Shining Star Group!" the federal president announced as he looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, everyone perked up and turned their attention to the large holographic screen in the center of the conference room.
I saw a strange planet appeared, with a blue ocean, strange alien creatures, and a strange and beautiful alien environment. It was like a scene in a science fiction movie, dreamlike and fascinating.
"This, this planet is simply..."
"Is this true? It's incredible."
"It's so beautiful! More beautiful than the earth!"
"How come there are creatures that walk upright? Is this an alien civilization?"
“…”
The congressman stared at the holographic screen with his eyes wide open, and couldn't help shouting. The scene was chaotic.
After a long time, the scene played on the holographic screen ended, and the congressman still couldn't recover for a long time.
"Blue Pole Star is a planet with an ecology very similar to that of the Earth. More specific ecological information needs to wait for scientists to conduct in vivo tests to obtain the results. However, relevant immigration plans and policies can be discussed and formulated. Also, Xingyao Group Everyone should seriously consider the idea of forming an interstellar battleship." The president of the Federation looked at the directors and the members introduced.
Hearing this, all the directors and congressmen turned over the documents on their desks and read them carefully.
Because of the influence of the Shining Star Group, the G20 was forced to come together. The Human Federation has been established for nearly 20 years. However, due to many issues such as race, culture, economy, religion, national habits, etc., the Human Federation has not been able to unite. Can't really unite.
Once the human interstellar fleet is established and a unified military force is formed, it will inevitably break the human federation's "seemingly inseparable" situation. The directors and congressmen from the twenty countries frowned at the document, feeling lonely for a while, and no one spoke first.
Seeing this, the federal president showed a wry smile. He had expected this situation. There is still a long way to go before the human federation can really twist into a rope and use its power in one place.
Soon, large-scale human political meetings were held frequently, and various news gradually spread.
The discovery of the Blue Pole Star, extraterrestrial immigrants, interstellar fleet construction plans, and all kinds of news were leaked from top politicians one after another, and the entire human world began to show a prairie fire situation.
Sky City, Starlight Building, the world's financial center, is the world's largest star currency trading market, the trading center for stocks, futures, spaceship insurance... and other industries with the largest market value.
The huge trading hall was crowded with people, and shouts of joy came and went.
"Take off, soar into the sky!"
"Rise! Rise! Keep rising! Yes, that's it, don't stop!"
"Oh God! What happened! Why did it rise so much! I sold it too early!"
"Haha! Keep rising! Don't stop!"
“…”
Countless investors in the hall were staring at the sky-high stock index, shouting with joy, like lunatics in a madhouse, singing and dancing, shouting excitedly.
Sun Weitao, who had just completed aerospace technology training and was dragged into the trading floor by Yang Chao, was stunned by this scene.
Sun Weitao's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Chao in confusion and asked: "Brother Yang, what happened! Why are they like this!"
"What time is it now? I can't explain so much to you. Hurry, complete the procedures quickly and buy all heavy industry stocks or resource stocks." Yang Chao looked anxious and urged Sun Weitao.
Hearing this, Sun Wei shook his head like a rattle and refused: "Brother Yang, I plan to use this money to run a boat, and I don't want to buy stocks."
"Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Just become a crew member first before running the boat. Use the money to invest first. If the wave rises, it can increase at least ten times." Yang Chao glared at Sun Weitao and persuaded loudly.
"Look, look, the index has risen by another 500 points. Come on! You will lose a few points every second!" Yang Chao jumped to his feet in a hurry.
Sun Weitao's eyes widened. While he was talking to Yang Chao, he saw with his own eyes that the market index jumped up by more than 500 points. At this moment, it was still rising by dozens of points.
"Brother Yang, what's going on today!" Sun Weitao asked in confusion.
"The news is that someone has discovered a new star, and the Federation is about to start immigration. If you believe me, buy those stocks immediately. If you don't believe me, lend me the money! I will give you 10% monthly interest." Yang Chao was impatient. say.
"this… "
Hearing this, Sun Weitao immediately hesitated.
"Damn! You should decide quickly! Lend me the money!" Yang Chao looked at Sun Weitao with a cry and said impatiently. Sun Weitao hesitated for a few seconds, and the index rose by more than two hundred points.
Sun Weitao stared at the big screen, his hands and feet could not help but tremble, he was deeply stimulated.
"Crazy, all crazy!"
Sun Weitao gritted his teeth, opened his bare wrist, quickly went through the transaction procedures, and started buying according to Yang Chao's instructions.
"I bought them all!" Yang Chao asked, feeling lost as he watched Sun Weitao complete the operation.
"Yes, I bought it!" Sun Weitao stared at his stock account and nodded heavily.
"Okay! How's the situation?" Yang Chao nodded in frustration and asked.
"It's up! It's already up 5%." Sun Weitao trembled with excitement.
"I'm right! If you had believed me earlier, you could have earned a few more points." Yang Chao said angrily with a slight twitch in his mouth.
"Yes, yes! It's all my fault!" Sun Weitao nodded, looked at Yang Chao and asked: "Brother Yang, how much has the price you bought increased?"
Yang Chao raised his head and glanced at the big index screen, and sighed: "My money has increased by 132%, but it's a pity that the money is too little! Alas!"
"So many! Brother Yang, what's going on! Will it suddenly fall? Do you want to sell it now?" Sun Weitao was taken aback and asked in a panic.
"It's impossible to fall. When Shining Star Group or the federal government makes an announcement, then it will explode completely." Yang Chao said with a confident face.
"Huh?" Sun Weitao was slightly stunned and looked at Yang Chao in confusion.
Yang Chao smiled slightly and introduced: "You have never stayed in Sky City for a long time, so you don't know its development speed, let alone the current overall situation."
Hearing this, Sun Weitao nodded. What he saw and heard in the Sky City these days was like being in the future world, and the cities on the ground could not compare with it.
"Brother Yang, please help me popularize science." Sun Weitao looked at Yang Chao and said imploringly.
Yang Chao smiled slightly and asked: "Do you know about the 'Age of Discovery' in the 15th century?"
"Of course!" Sun Weitao nodded happily.
The Age of Discovery has an indelible significance for the development of human civilization, with major changes in the territory of Western political power, the rise of colonialism, geographical discoveries, the prosperity of scientific measurement, the spread of spices and plants, exchanges between countries... etc., it can be said that if If human civilization had not experienced the Age of Discovery, it would not have the current technological civilization.
"Well! It's good to know that the current situation of human civilization is similar to that of the Age of Discovery. We are in an era when the stars and the sea are about to open up. The discovery of colonial life stars is like Columbus's discovery of the New World. It is of extraordinary significance, so this round of rising prices is absolutely It won't stop easily!" Yang Chao looked at the excited crowd in the trading hall and judged firmly.
"The era of stars and sea is about to begin!" Sun Weitao was stunned and murmured in disbelief.
