Chapter 1334 One Billion
"If we can build a large particle collider around the sun, our basic physics can jump to a new level." Liu Long found Liu Gan again and proposed it to him.
"The sun...will bake it, right?" Liu Qian thought for a while and answered Liu Long.
"No, if it is built far enough away, such as along the path between the Earth's orbit and Mars' orbit, it will not be burned." Liu Long had already thought about it.
"Then...how long is it?" Liu Qian's brain was already a little tired.
"It's not long, about 1.3 billion kilometers." Of course Liu Long had already calculated it.
"1.3 billion kilometers, okay, we must concentrate all our manpower and material resources again, right? How long will the construction period be?" Liu Gan could no longer imagine how huge this project was.
"According to our current level of science and technology, it will probably take about a thousand years." Liu Long answered Liu Qian.
"Then... I can only apologize. We only have three hundred and fifty years, one thousand years, and we have been destroyed by five cars and five civilizations." Liu Gan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this answer. If three hundred years are needed, Years ago, he was still hesitant whether to stop the research of all other technologies and transfer all manpower and material resources to this, so that basic physics could be improved again.
The last improvement in basic physics raised the technological level of human civilization on earth from the early stage of the first stage to the middle stage of the first stage, which gave Liu Gan a taste of the sweetness, so... he knew that if he wanted to catch up with Wu Che Wu in a short time At the level of science and technology of civilization, a particle collider around the star may be indispensable.
But since it takes a thousand years, it can be rejected from a strategic perspective, because the earth's civilization is currently facing the pressure of the invasion of five vehicles and five civilizations, and there is no one thousand years for Liu Gan to squander.
"From now on, we can allocate only one-third of our manpower and material resources to the construction of the circumstellar particle collider. During this period, if we make breakthroughs in other technologies, we may be able to greatly shorten the circumstellar particle collider. The production cycle of the collision machine..."
“For example, if we make a breakthrough in artificial intelligence and produce a large number of manufacturing robots to replace human work, we can recover the manpower we invested in the orbital particle collider, and the work of these robots in space will not be the same. It requires the cooperation of the ecological environment, and the efficiency will be greatly improved..." Liu Long continued to propose it to Liu Gan without giving up.
As the general person in charge of basic physics, Liu Long's duty is to continuously promote the research of basic physics. The particle collider at the orbiting Mars base is obviously unable to advance basic physics any further. If he still wants to go further, We can only rely on a particle collider at the circumstellar level.
"If there is a breakthrough in the research of artificial intelligence robots, I will take your proposal into consideration. Now... your project team will temporarily turn its research to other aspects." Liu Qian finally rejected Liu Long's proposal. .
Although Liu Qian doesn’t know much about these specific technological matters, as the current leader of the earth’s civilization, he must consider everything comprehensively. Now, three hundred and fifty years later, there will be five vehicles and five civilizations. Invasion is his top priority.
"I dare to ask you a question." After Liu Long heard Liu Gan's words, he had no intention of letting it go.
"what is the problem?"
"The last time you attacked the Trisolaran civilization, what did you use to control those thousands of warships?"
"This... well, since you asked, I might as well tell you that this is the only super processor I brought back from the future. With its computing power, it can control hundreds of thousands of master-level ships at the same time. The battleship went into battle." Liu Qian thought for a while and made up a relatively suitable answer to Liu Long.
"If we have a very rudimentary robot, but it can't keep up with the artificial intelligence, can we control its behavior with your super processor?" Liu Long said, asking people in his project team to control it. A very basic robot was sent over.
"Okay..." Liu Qian let the main system take over the robot's small system, controlling the robot to perform various exquisite operations that only humans can do.
"How many of these junior robots can your main system control at the same time?" Liu Long then asked Liu Gan.
"Probably..." Liu Qian relayed the question to the robot on the vision screen with his mind.
"This is a very basic robot, and there is no problem in controlling billions of them at the same time." The robot in the field of view quickly answered Liu Qian based on the computing power of the main system.
"About a billion or so." Liu Qian reduced the size by an order of magnitude and answered Liu Long. Of course, he had to have reservations about the capabilities of the main system.
"A billion? It's far beyond my expectations! If we can produce a billion of these rudimentary robots, and cooperate with your exquisite control, we will have an extra billion skilled workers to manufacture circumstellar particles. The collider will not need to consume our current manpower! And it is likely to be completed within three hundred years!"
"I have a detailed plan here. The first step is to build a robot factory and use robots to produce robots. It will only take about ten years to expand the number of robots to the order of one billion..."
“The second step is various manufacturing factories that are completely run by robots. These factories are built in space to produce various components needed for circumstellar particle collider. With 1 billion robots, The number of factories can reach more than 10 million, all orbiting between the earth's orbit and the orbit of Mars..."
"These more than 10 million factories push and connect the collider components produced by each other, eventually forming a huge closed loop... If everything goes well, it is likely to be completed within three hundred years..."
"Complete a circumstellar particle collider within three hundred years, and use another twenty years to advance the research of basic physics. We hope to advance the technology of earth civilization to the first level within three hundred and fifty years." The peak level in the middle of the stage can even break through to the late stage of the first stage. By then we will have the strength to confront five vehicles and five civilizations head-on."
"What I'm asking for will not consume any additional human or material resources. It will just make full use of the idle computing power of your main system." Liu Long submitted his quickly re-planned proposal to Liu Qian again.
"Okay, I'm convinced by you." Liu Qian had no choice but to agree. The computing power of the fusiform detector's main processor is indeed idle at ordinary times. Since it does not consume additional manpower and material resources, it will be temporarily deployed by Liu Long. Let's start building a stellar particle collider.
