Chapter 821 Moon Palace Project (4K)

Production tools, also known as labor tools, are objects used by people to process labor objects during the production process.

The continuous improvement and development of production tools marks the continuous enhancement of people's ability to control nature. The level of development of production tools is a measure of human control over nature and an important indicator of the level of development of social productivity.

Marx once said: "The difference between various economic eras lies not in what is produced, but in how it is produced and what means of production are used. The means of production are not only a measure of the development of human labor, but also an indicator of the social relations through which labor is carried out."

The recorded history of mankind for thousands of years also reflects the quality and quantity of production tools, which determines the breadth and depth of people's change and conquest of nature, and determines the types and quantities of material materials obtained by people.

For these machine creations that are not endowed with primary artificial intelligence AI, even if some of them look very much like humans, Gu Qing will not empathize with these machines.

Even if these robots are purely domestically made from manufacturing materials to programming, they can be the treasures of R&D personnel and the best helpers for labor, but they must not be emotional beings.

Because once the robot's magnitude breaks through a certain limit, the various problems it brings will be immeasurable.

Of course, the most important thing is "wisdom", which is not a "thing" that can be easily born and popularized.

"Are you ready?"

Gu Qing asked the middle-aged uncle who liked to bite straws beside him.

Lu Ming, after arriving at Jiuzhou Technology, when his colleagues developed miraculous products one after another, he liberated his nature on a bright moonlit night and began to race on the road of industrial robots. He lived and ate at the experimental base and was one of the leaders of the industrial robot research and development project of the Titanium Star Department.

After hearing Gu Qing's question, Lu Ming nodded.

"In fact, this project already had a prototype last year. Now that more resources have been invested, there will be no problem in completing the first stage."

"Then let's start, build the base first."

As soon as Gu Qing gave the order, the workshop that was still shaking just now stopped shaking immediately.

Then robots of all sizes began to leave the center of the workshop in an orderly manner. Although it is a workshop, the building height is as high as more than ten meters.

After the site was vacated, excavators and bulldozers began to move.

After the ground was leveled, a tank-like machine slowly drove to the center area, and its tracks left a firm mark on the ground.

Then the ground of the site began to shake, and dust would fly from time to time.

After half an hour, the tank left gracefully, and a dark cave suddenly appeared in the center of the site.

Then a transport vehicle drove to the side of the cave, and with the help of hydraulic unloading equipment, a module like a small house was placed above the cave, covering the dark cave tightly.

Then the module unfolded, and component interfaces appeared one by one. Other industrial robots began to install various construction equipment and transmission devices.

In the center of the module, a circular opening was opened, revealing the dark cave inside.

Then a pipe began to be erected and aimed at the opening, and silver liquid was poured into it.

"This expansion material has excellent plasticity when it just reacts, but after two hours of low-temperature treatment, it will become a material that is stronger than concrete and can be used as a temporary foundation for the lunar base.

And after this module is placed, there will be sensors to detect the depth of the foundation and the soil and rock layer, and there will be extended auxiliary plastic pipes to extend down to ensure the stability of the base."

Lu Ming introduced on the side. Although the advancement of these projects often takes dozens of minutes or even hours, no one present felt annoyed.

Watching the excavator digging the road can make a group of men stand and watch for a long time, let alone this kind of engineering project that can level the base in just half a day?

Industrial robots are not limited to stereotyped shapes. They can be tracked vehicles, large ants, or large wheels. And the functions they play are also varied.

Tracked vehicles are either like unmanned vehicles, transporting various materials, or carrying components with different functions to dig stones, collect soil, and collect materials.

The robot, which looks like a large ant, manipulates several mechanical arms in an orderly manner. It is equipped with tools to disassemble and expand components, and can weld and measure with one hand on the other side. It can be said to be multitasking.

Each module needs to be precisely measured and checked before it can be docked and installed.

Whenever a component is installed, the software program and hardware detection will start multiple self-checks, and air tightness is the top priority. Then the expansion and installation of the next component will follow.

The robotic arm technology that has been "played" by the R&D personnel of the Titanium Star Department for so many years is like a real human martial arts master at this time, which can achieve telepathy, hit wherever it points, and deal with wherever there is a problem.

Although there is still a rigid mechanical feeling, the construction of the installation base of each module is progressing in an orderly manner.

Whenever there is a brilliant link or an important link, the person in charge of this link will come forward to explain to Gu Qing.

Mechanical engineering and automation, mechatronics engineering, materials science and engineering, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, electronic information engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering and technology, engineering mechanics, computer science and technology, software engineering... Almost every elite in the engineering industry will stay in front of Gu Qing for a while, and some people even go back and forth several times.

This is just a lunar base construction project. Although what these industrial robots do is as simple as "children playing house", there are many considerations for even the special design of a crawler.

According to statistics, the entire lunar base construction project has directly involved the R&D efforts of tens of thousands of engineers.

In general companies, they simply cannot afford such a large team and R&D investment.

After so many years of cooperation, Gu Qing and many of them often live and eat in the same room, so they are not "nodding acquaintances" and they are not ignorant of the project.

After Gu Qing and his group had lunch, the previously exposed foundation module had completely disappeared from view. In this originally somewhat chaotic workshop, a closed base building similar to a breeding greenhouse had been erected.

However, there was a round roof like an eggshell in the middle of this base, and the core building in the middle of the entire base was also like an oval egg, lying on the ground.

"The first base of the Moon Palace Project can be divided into three parts, namely a core base and two subsidiary bases.

During the construction and operation process, the maximum capacity of the combination of the three bases can be three football fields.

The docking ports of the two subsidiary bases are at the core base, that is, the left and right ends of the sphere, forming a T-shaped configuration. The remaining two ports can dock with the manned spacecraft base and expand the external transportation base.

The core base of Moon Palace No. 1 is the center of our entire Kyushu Moon Palace Base and the control hall of the entire base. It is used to uniformly control and manage the base combination, control various industrial robots, provide living and working places for base personnel, and support scientific research projects.

Each base is equipped with oxygen production equipment and waste treatment equipment, water circulation treatment and other system equipment necessary for our human survival. At that time, the living area agreed to be equipped with sleeping area, sanitary area, living and sports area and work area, striving to provide the astronauts in the base with a normal living environment and sports facilities.

What has been built is the space agriculture affiliated experimental base, which is a space farm, which aims to plant and develop elite agricultural products with more edible parts, richer nutrients, higher yields and more effective nutrient utilization for astronauts and other future base staff.

Some of the team members in charge of this aspect are also students who once studied with Yuan Lao, so they hope that our crops will have higher and higher yields and more and more nutritious performance on the moon and on the earth. "

After Lu Ming finished his introduction, another team came forward to explain, but due to the earth's environment, they used tablets and AR technology to simulate the environment for planning and explanation.

"In response to the special needs of space agriculture, we also consulted the R&D team that conducted the 'Moon Micro Farm' experiment on the back of the moon last year.

The cotton, rapeseed and potato seeds cultivated by the Daxia Academy of Agricultural Sciences not only successfully achieved the first human experiment of cultivating plant seedlings on the moon in this experiment, opening the prelude to agriculture going to space, but also had many excellent performances in growth and output.

So our plan is to focus on the development of advantageous products, such as edible crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and then conquer economic crops such as cotton after the first batch of seeds we experimented with in the Daxia space station come back. "

The project staff explained in an orderly manner, not only speaking clearly, but also each project was indeed rigorous enough.

Of course, the Daxia space station mentioned frequently made them excited.

Although this space station is not owned by their own company, what kind of company is Jiuzhou Technology?

Daxia's top technology company!

It is also one of the technology companies most closely connected with Daxia's major scientific research projects.

When these scientists were looking for a cooperation project with the Daxia Space Station, they were not greeted with difficulties, but with all kinds of welcome. This can explain a lot of problems.

The Daxia Space Station is said to be in orbit for at least 10 years, and will extend its life through continuous on-orbit maintenance, just like the current International Space Station.

So Gu Qing proposed a lot of "weight loss plans" when he met with engineers and designers of the company's aerospace projects.

"Rational use of our own resources, since the Daxia Space Station is already mature, can we reduce the investment in the space station and focus on the lunar base?"

This bold idea shocked many scientists and engineers, and after careful consideration, they chose to agree in principle.

Because the degree of cooperation on the Daxia Space Station side is so high, it's like a family...

Even some senior scientists feel that Jiuzhou Technology is not a private enterprise, but a bold "innovation" of Guo Jia.

When all the inspections were completed, the reports were submitted, and the rectification plan for the new small project was summarized.

It was already the morning of November 1st.

"Tear it down."

With Gu Qing's order, the workshop of the underground experimental base began to work in a chaotic rhythm. One by one, industrial robots began to work tirelessly. If there were any problems in the middle, they would be immediately transported to the production line not far away for repair. If they could not be repaired, they would be properly disassembled and the parts would be saved for repair and use in other equipment.

In just two days, thousands of people came in and out of this experimental base.

Scientists, engineers, "civil engineering brothers", programmers... and other professional personnel were assigned tasks within their own professions.

In particular, Gu Qing pointed out the key rectification links in the meeting. No individual member of the project team responsible for these links looked at the demolition with a relaxed demeanor.

After the meeting with the heads of some projects, Gu Qing left the underground base.

After passing through a series of checkpoints, Gu Qing and the security personnel behind him finally saw the sky.

Because Chengdu has vigorously rectified the environment in recent years, the sky is still blue at this time, but the early morning has long turned into morning in one meeting after another.

"It's getting late, let's go to the No. 1 canteen to eat something and satisfy our hunger."

Boss Gu's freedom is that he doesn't have a rigid working time from 9 to 5, or in a sense, he is the type of person who works the most overtime in Jiuzhou Technology.

In the internal chat among Jiuzhou Technology employees, some people speculated that it might be because their boss is busy with work and has no girlfriend or other gaming hobbies, so Boss Gu has maxed out the attribute of a foodie, forcing every canteen chef to treat every meal meticulously every day.

Otherwise, if there is a meal that tastes bad and is eaten by the tired Boss Gu, and then he gives the evaluation of "frown, not delicious", it will affect not only the money, but also his own reputation.

Although it is already November and the cold air in Shu is strong, Gu Qing and his group are wearing thin clothes.

After entering the canteen, the aroma of delicious food hits the nose.

"One serving of oil tea, one tea egg, one pan-fried bun, one serving of Tremella and lotus seed soup, and two steamed eggs."

Boss Gu took his breakfast, sat in an ordinary seat, and enjoyed the food in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the No. 1 office building of Jiuzhou Science and Technology Community was bustling with people and the atmosphere was warm.
