Chương 243: Fully Automatic Universal Factory
After Zhang Yuan browsed through these materials, his breathing gradually became serious. He discovered that the so-called "automatic universal factory" was actually a super-large 3D printer!
But the function of this 3D printer is extremely powerful. It combines multiple key technologies such as biology, information, and machinery, and can print tens of millions of parts!
Tens of millions of species!
Moreover, the precision and output of these printed parts are extremely high, and Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded by the marked parameters.
It's unbelievable that such a powerful machine exists in the world!
It can even be said that the power of a machine is equal to the cutting-edge productivity of all their current human beings, and even exceeds it by a lot!
Seeming to see his doubts, the leader of Gliese explained: "Please don't doubt that this is the technological product of the pinnacle of the second-level civilization in the universe, or even the third-level civilization!" "amp;amp;amp;amp
; amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;According to our observations, although we don't know what level of technology your mother civilization has reached, Ning's current industrial capabilities and technical means are still limited to the category of first-level civilization..."
Zhang Yuan's heart beat heavily. The leader of the Gliese civilization may have deliberately revealed a small amount of common sense of cosmic sociology to mankind.
The game between the two sides has begun!
But he must not be so stupid as to ask these common senses bluntly, otherwise the other party will think that these cosmic information is worth trading, and maybe the lion will open his mouth... He pretended to be very calm and said: "About
these information Description, this factory is indeed very powerful, and even uses some biological means." "
But according to the current written description is not detailed enough, this transaction is of great importance, I hope to visit this universal factory in person, I don't know if it is convenient ?"
The other party hesitated for a while, then nodded and replied: "This is no problem, if you don't feel tired…"
The deal negotiations lasted for half a day, so that Zhang Yuan didn't even have time to sleep, and visited the so-called "automatic universal factory" with great interest!
This behemoth is bigger than an aircraft carrier. It is about 300 meters long, 120 meters wide, and has a mass of 160,000 tons. It is placed in the underground core of Goer City, where a large number of robots and staff are busy. with.
There are also a large number of supporting factories, nuclear power plants and so on in the surrounding area.
In other words, basically all the daily necessities in Goer City are produced in this industrial zone.
"It looks like it's not...fake."
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath.
The most important thing is that this machine is not entirely a metal device, but uses a lot of biotechnology, using some organic matter and protein as its own components. The advantage of this is that the sensing system is very powerful and has a certain self-healing ability, which can work stably for a long time.
"This is a technology tree that humans have never had." He was half surprised and half puzzled. He only wanted to negotiate peacefully, and never thought of signing such a big deal... Moreover, the other party actually wanted to take this
powerful It is really strange that the machine is sold.
"Oh, Your Excellency Gan Yaduo... With all due respect, is this the target of your transaction with the second interstellar civilization?" "Yes,
indeed."
"Then I want to know, how should you maintain such a complicated system?"
What Zhang Yuan meant was that such a huge machine would not need maintenance for 50,000 years.
And how could the technology of the Gliese civilization be able to maintain this thing?
Gan Yaduo said: "You don't have to worry about this problem. The core of the universal factory is a biological computer, which has a certain degree of self-repair ability. If it is not violently destroyed, it requires almost no maintenance. It will not be replaced for 50,000 or 100,000 years."
"As for the rest of the mechanical parts, all we need to do is to follow the instructions of its artificial intelligence and replace them regularly." "
Artificial intelligence?"
"It's just a weak artificial intelligence, which can automatically detect the location that needs maintenance."
Zhang Yuan estimated After thinking about it for a while, I felt a little hesitant in my heart: "However, with such a factory, it may not be enough...even if it adopts another main line of technology."
This matter is really important, and no amount of caution can be overstated.
And he is still assessing whether this deal contains a trap...
For example, after occupying most of the productivity of human beings, the other party suddenly called; What can I do now?
After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan said: "It's not that this factory is bad, but your spaceship needs to be able to carry a population of 2 million to 2.5 million... It will take us a long, long time. And a spaceship itself contains The huge technological content can analyze many technologies..." "
You are wrong." Gan Yaduo argued: "The universal factory not only represents huge productivity, but also has a large amount of technological reserves in its database. This is the pinnacle The scientific and technological reserves of the second-level civilization, I think, relying on this information alone, it is enough to exchange for a star-level spaceship." "
It depends on what these technological reserves are..."
Zhang Yuan was not simply confused, and replied Dao: "If the technology in the database is what we already have, then the value of these technologies will be greatly reduced. And you know, for many technologies, there is no way to be compatible with each other...even the screw standard Differences will also cause huge differences, at most they can only be used for reference, and cannot be used directly." "The
industrial standards of our human civilization have basically taken shape, and it is impossible to change easily because of a universal factory...so the inside The value of scientific and technological information is still open to debate."
Of course, Zhang Yuan was just talking nonsense. He really wanted to know what level and technology the so-called pinnacle of secondary civilization was. As for many industrial standards, it is true that there is no way to be compatible, but some technological ideas, even if they are just borrowed, are of great significance.
In the following talks, Zhang Yuan inspected the capabilities of the so-called "universal factory", and at the same time sent relevant materials to the Earth Times for a report.
After some investigation, he thinks that the probability of it being a trap is very low. The other party has already exposed his core technology, and he may indeed have some problems and wants to ask humans for help.
This universal factory is so powerful and convenient, as long as some raw materials are input, it can produce a large number of parts. This incredible automation process made Zhang Yuan jealous.
To give a simple example, if 6,000 centrifuges are produced by the new civilization, it may take half a year, and corresponding production lines need to be set up, and all kinds of manpower and material resources need to be invested; but to use this universal factory, there is no need for new ones at all. The production line is up, as long as the specific procedures are set in the computer, and then the raw materials are put in, the production of various parts may only take three months!
Although there are corresponding 3D printing technologies on the earth, there is far no way to compare with them in terms of productivity and precision.
He even kind of wanted to close the deal.
"The value of a universal factory is hard to compare with a stellar spaceship, so why not research it and assemble another universal factory?"
Even ten, one hundred, one thousand?
Even though the entire reverse engineering may be very difficult, Zhang Yuan still has some confidence in his engineers.
Moreover, it also includes biological machinery that humans are rarely involved in.
Of course, the difficulty must be quite high, all kinds of messy biotechnology is not so easy to crack, otherwise these pangolins could not have thought of this.
"In other words, is the production of the so-called core biological machinery more difficult? Or, there is no way to generate a universal factory in the database at all." "Or, this group of pangolins are lazy and too lazy to crack?"
