Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2372 A new visitor on the moon?

[Simplified version of basalt fiber 3.0: high-strength fiber produced by melt drawing technology, with high temperature resistance above 800°C and radiation resistance, the main woven layer is the outer protective structure layer]

[Simplified version of ceramic fiber-carbon fiber composite 3.0: Combining the ability to withstand 3000℃ with the lightweight characteristics of carbon fiber, the weight is reduced by more than 15%, while improving adaptability to extreme temperature differences]

[Ultra-high molecular braid 3.0 simplified version: using three-dimensional braiding technology, imitating human muscle texture to achieve dynamic deformation, combined with exoskeleton joints can enhance the bending rebound efficiency by 30%]

……

Yu Hongbin felt more confident as he watched pieces of material being processed and woven by the small intelligent manufacturing factory.

As long as this small-scale intelligent manufacturing can operate stably, the pioneers in our team will be able to have a stable supply of lunar suits, oxygen and other necessary survival supplies.

After the trial run was stable, he turned on the AI ​​assistance of the smart factory and said, "Tiangong controls the scale and speed of production. Now that the feasibility of the technical equipment in a low-gravity environment has been verified, we will wait for the smart factory to upgrade, improve the technical process, and then expand production."

As a manager of the Pioneer underground base, Yu Hongbin has many special powers.

Not only can they know the development plan of the base, but they also have special control over some core equipment and materials.

When he finished speaking, a very rational, mechanical male voice came from his headset: "Received. The solution file is being verified. Your order has been confirmed. The current production logic of the smart factory is being optimized..."

After reading the feedback from Tiangong, Yu Hongbin checked the operation of the newly built smart manufacturing factory again. Only after making sure there were no other problems did he leave the underground studio.

When he walked to the underground operating room where he normally worked, he happened to see a group of colleagues who had just come from Blue Star last month, who were teaching the old colleagues some common sense that they must learn.

"This is a special material that can respond intelligently. It is called phase change energy storage film. It is a special flexible film layer made of microencapsulated phase change material. It can autonomously adjust the thermal emissivity between -200°C and 200°C to achieve passive temperature control during the day and night cycle on the moon. In the future, we can use this material in the lunar buildings we build. However, it is currently a simplified version. If we want to have the material performance of the Blue Star Laboratory, we will need to upgrade the smart factory at least twice.

It is also very easy to use, it can be done by robots or manually..."

"It is a self-cleaning and radiation-resistant composite coating. The production process is to deposit titanium dioxide or silver nanoparticles on a polyimide substrate to form a multi-layer coating. It has the dual functions of catalyzing the decomposition of organic matter in lunar dust and shielding gamma rays. In the exposure experiment of our Kyushu space station, this composite coating performed the best, so it has been upgraded subsequently.

At present, the intelligent core of our lunar intelligent manufacturing factory, 'Star Sea Moon', can barely be manufactured with existing technology, equipment and materials, but the output is not large, so we must first meet the needs of the base..."

Senior engineers from the Titanium Star department, including Liu Hai, Wang Xiu, Zhang Lang, etc., explained these new technical materials with serious expressions.

In the past, most of the materials for various construction work on the moon were transported by the Moon Chaser. Although lunar factories have been built, due to the low gravity environment and the influence of ubiquitous lunar dust, the construction of lunar factories has actually not been ideal. For some special materials with higher requirements, they can only rely on transportation. Not to mention production, even some processing procedures are impossible.

Now, when the intelligent core 'Star Sea Moon' built with quantum chips started working, many analysis and optimization tasks were put on the fast track, and the lunar factory was instantly upgraded to a smart manufacturing factory.

Although the smart manufacturing factory can only prepare simple materials at present, as long as it is in production and collects enough industrial data, it will be able to upgrade in an orderly manner according to the upgrade plan of those smart manufacturing factories on the ground of Blue Star. Ultimately, the lunar base will not have to worry about the supply of core materials and equipment.

Of course, for some special materials, the Moon-Chasing Starship is still needed to help with “express delivery”.

Liu Jianshu, an engineer who has lived on the moon for quite some time, looked at the suction cup-shaped parts and recalled, "I remember when Mr. Gu led us to develop the robotic arm, he mentioned more than once the importance of octopuses to industry. Now seeing this old friend stored in the space station, I feel that even if there is a moonquake on the moon now, we can -"

When Yu Hongbin heard Liu Jianshu's words, he rushed out several meters away like a superman at a speed that shocked everyone else, pressed Liu Jianshu to the ground, and shouted, "Don't say anything!"

After receiving Liu Jianshu's eye contact, he asked again: "Are you sure?" Then he slowly let go of his hand, grabbed the table leg beside him, and stood up.

Then, under the surprised gazes of his three new friends, Liu Hai, Wang Xiu, and Zhang Lang, he put his hands together and bowed to the people around him: "Children's words should not be restrained, children's words should not be restrained, may Buddha bless you, may Taoism bless you..."

Several veteran pioneers waited until Yu Hongbin finished these actions before explaining to several new colleagues: "You don't know that Liu Jianshu is a well-known jinx here. One time when he was eating in the cafeteria, he said, 'If we eat like this every day, will someone choke?' Less than ten seconds after he finished speaking, a colleague choked.

When our robot vacuum cleaner was cleaning, he made a bad comment and disrupted the robot that had been working diligently for more than a year, so much so that it had to be sent back to the factory for repairs..."

Liu Jianshu, whose mouth was no longer covered, struggled to get up, and defended himself, "Is it my fault? He was not careful when eating, and he shouldn't talk while swallowing food.

As for sweeping robots, we are in a low-gravity environment here, so the damage to parts is not the same as on the ground of Blue Star. The working conditions are different, and the working life is definitely different... Let alone robots, even us, if we move around at any time, won’t it be easy to get bumped or sprained, right?"

Liu Hai, a senior engineer who had just come to the moon from the Titanium Department for a few days, took a step back when he heard that his colleague with the same surname had such an outstanding resume.

However, he had lived on the moon for too short a time, and he failed to control the force of taking a half step back, and it turned into a leap backwards.

boom.

It can only be said that fortunately all the equipment in the lunar base has been blunted, without sharp surfaces, and even the angled parts are covered with soft materials, so Liu Hai was not hurt. However, this once again made others refresh their views on engineer Liu Jianshu.

Liu Jianshu looked at the cautious eyes of the people around him and sighed with emotion: "The prejudice in people's hearts is as big as a mountain. You guys, forget it, I don't blame you, I will just listen to the class and not talk."

After being helped up by Yu Hongbin, Liu Hai said thank you to him and then looked at his brother with the same surname with caution.

Although science is about breaking "superstitions", sometimes there are often some special superstitions in some standard operating procedures in laboratories.

When he was in college, he had paid homage to the server grandfather in the laboratory and presented flowers to the equipment aunt. As long as there was only one successful case among many experiments, it would be completely fixed.

Therefore, Liu Hai attaches great importance to such people who "walk the talk".

However, in the subsequent lecture sessions, Liu Jianshu did not continue to speak casually. Occasionally, when he wanted to ask a question, he would raise his hand first and seek permission before speaking.

"Let's continue with what we just said. I believe everyone has learned to use this tool before. It uses a fiber-reinforced rubber composite material that imitates the suction cup structure of an octopus tentacle and uses micron-level deformation to achieve dynamic airtightness compensation, which can reduce the risk of air leakage during joint movement. In addition, this large model can also be used for temporary treatment of the outer shells of equipment and buildings, providing us with valuable time."

"Everyone should be familiar with this water recycling fiber membrane. It uses a super-hydrophilic hydrophobic gradient structure nanofiber membrane to recycle sweat..."

Although the manufacturing process is also discussed, these materials and equipment cannot be "manufactured by hand" for the time being. They can only be manufactured by manually controlling the equipment when a malfunction occurs in the smart manufacturing factory.

However, this is also a precautionary measure, so everyone is learning it very seriously.

There are currently only two human gathering areas on the moon. One is the Moon Palace complex, where all the residents are paying users. In addition to exercising every day, they also engage in remote control. The other is Jiuzhou Technology's underground base on the moon. In addition to studying, the pioneers go out to work every day. When they have free time on vacation, they either log in to the spiritual ecosystem to communicate with relatives and friends, or stroll around the ecological botanical garden of the research base or exercise alone.

As time passed, in late April, people on both sides received a special news.

The moon will soon welcome another team of astronauts.

Deng Mu looked at the information on the tablet in front of him and asked the Jiuzhou Xinghai elite leader in disbelief: "Are you sure that the astronauts of Daxia Space Group will land on the moon next month?"

Around Dunm, there are the Windsor family and other elites, all of whom have their own curiosities.

Although Zhao Xia had no good feelings towards this group of paying users, he was an elite who followed the work rules and regulations, so when faced with these questions, he did not show impatience, but kept a smile on his face and responded: "Yes, according to the plan, next month, astronauts from the Daxia Aerospace Group will land on the moon again, but their landing site is quite far from our Moon Palace complex, so we will not have any contact with them.

The reason why we are notifying you in advance is because you are all VIP users of our Jiuzhou Xinghai Company. We need to let you know the situation of the moon that we have mastered. Next month, if you see the news or see other spacecraft working in the lunar orbit, please don’t worry or be anxious. "

After this period of communication and gathering, Deng Mu has already had a special position in the group. After listening to Zhao Xia's explanation, he took the initiative to ask again: "If other countries including Daxia carry out moon landing missions in the future, will your company not take any other operations and defensive measures? If a spacecraft fails to land on the moon in the future and causes damage, does your company have an emergency plan?"

The others now had serious looks in their eyes.

Why did they come to the moon?

We are not here to eat expensive space food! We are here for absolute safety!

If any country can land on the moon in the future, what if some enemies tamper with the flight programs of these landing spacecraft and directly smash the lunar palace complex where they are? What should they do then?

Although this may seem far-fetched and unfounded, they all know that their identities, backgrounds, power and status are definitely worth the price their opponents have to pay.

After seeing the serious looks from these paying users, Zhao Xia still kept smiling and explained, "Please rest assured, at present, only our Jiuzhou Xinghai Company and Daxia Aerospace Group have the ability to land on the moon, and we have close technical cooperation and exchanges with Daxia Aerospace Group.

Of course, as time goes by, if other countries and regional organizations master the technology to land on the moon, or want to send equipment such as lunar rovers and lunar satellites to the moon, we will also track them in real time to ensure that they are within a safe and controllable range.

In addition, our Jiuzhou Xinghai Company has set up a security joint defense system in the Moon Palace complex. Whether there is an invasion by outsiders or a spacecraft crashing, a warning will be broadcast to give everyone time to move to a safe area."

An elite on the side could not sit still any longer and took the initiative to say: "What I mean is, can you install an air defense weapon system? If there are any unauthorized lunar landing equipment or spacecraft, after warning them to no avail, you can directly use weapons to destroy them!"

This group of elites want absolute safety, so how could they tolerate other unknown devices to disturb their quiet lives?

At this time, Zhao Xia said with a serious face: "The attitude and position of international organizations on the development of the moon are currently consistent with our Jiuzhou Xinghai Company. We all believe that the moon is the common heritage of mankind and should be developed through cooperation rather than exclusivity.

If we build a planetary defense system and clear out the equipment of other institutions, it will affect the scientific progress of mankind..."

It will have an impact, so it can be done?

There was not a single person present who was not a black-hearted person with a lot of evil intentions, so they naturally understood the hidden meaning in the words.

"It's not about clearing all these devices, it's about establishing a whitelist system."
