After browsing these materials, Zhang Yuan gradually dignified his breathing. He found that the so-called "fully automatic universal factory" was actually a super large 3D printer!
However, 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!
Moreover, the precision and output of these printed parts are very high, and the marked parameters are stunned.
It's incredible that there should be such a powerful machine in the world!
It can even be said that the power of a machine is equal to the cutting-edge productivity of all mankind, and even exceeds many!
It seems to see his doubts. The Gliese leader explained: "please don't doubt that this is the peak of the second-class civilization of the universe, or even the scientific and technological product of the third-class civilization!"
"&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Zhang Yuan's heart jumped heavily. The leader of 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 certainly can't be stupid enough to ask these common sense, otherwise the other party will think that these cosmic information is of trading value, and the lion may open his mouth
He pretended to be very calm and said: "as for the description of these materials, this factory is indeed very powerful, and even uses some biological means."
"However, according to the current text description, it is not detailed enough. This transaction is very important. I hope to visit this universal factory in person. I don't know whether 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 transaction negotiation lasted for less than half a day, so that Zhang Yuan didn't even have time to sleep. He visited the so-called "fully 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 160000 tons. It is placed in the underground core of goer City, where a large number of robots and staff are busy.
There are also a large number of supporting factories and nuclear power plants around.
In other words, almost all the living materials in goer city are produced in this industrial zone.
"It looks like it's not... Fake."
Zhang Yuan breathed heavily.
The key is that this machine is not entirely a metal instrument. Instead, it uses a lot of biotechnology and uses some organic matter and protein as its own components. The advantage of this is that the sensing system is very powerful, has a certain self-healing ability, and can work for a long time and stably.
"This is a technology tree that mankind has never owned." He was half surprised and half confused. He just wanted to negotiate peacefully. He never thought of signing such a big list
Moreover, it's strange that the other party wants to sell this powerful machine.
"Oh, Lord ganyaduo... With all due respect, is this the subject of your transaction with the second interstellar civilization?"
"Yes, indeed."
"So I want to know, how should you maintain such a complex system?"
Zhang Yuan means that this huge machine can't be maintained for 50000 years.
And how could the technology of Gliese civilization maintain this thing?
Ganyaduo said, "you don't have to worry about this problem. The core of universal factory is biological computer, which has a certain degree of self-healing ability. If there is no violent destruction, there is almost no need to maintain it. It will not be replaced for 50000 or 100000 years. "
"As for other mechanical parts, all we have to do is replace them regularly according to their AI instructions."
"Artificial intelligence?"
"It's just weak artificial intelligence. It can automatically detect the location that needs maintenance."
Zhang Yuan estimated and hesitated: "however, such a factory may not be enough... Even if it adopts another main line of science and technology."
It's a matter of great importance. You can't be too cautious.
And he's still assessing whether the deal contains a trap
For example, after occupying most of human productivity, the other party suddenly hit; Another example is that mankind worked hard to build a spaceship, and the other party reneged. What can we do then?
After some consideration, Zhang Yuan said, "it's not that the factory is bad, but your spacecraft is required to carry a population of 2 million to 2.5 million... It will take us a long, long time. Moreover, a spaceship itself contains huge scientific and technological content, which can analyze many technologies... "
"You are wrong." Ganyaduo argued: "universal factory not only represents great productivity, but also has a large number of scientific and technological reserves in its database. This is the scientific and technological reserve of the peak second-class civilization. I think this information alone is enough to change a star level spacecraft. "
"It depends on what these scientific and technological reserves are..."
Zhang Yuan was not simply confused and replied: "if the technologies in the database are what we already have, 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 different standards of screws will cause great differences. At most, they can only be used for reference, not 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 value of the scientific and technological materials inside remains to be discussed."
Of course, Zhang Yuan is just talking nonsense. He really wants to know what level the so-called peak of secondary civilization is and what kind of technology it has. As for many industrial standards, there is no way to be compatible, but some scientific and technological ideas, even if they are just used for reference, are of great significance.
In the following talks, Zhang Yuan inspected the capability of the so-called "universal factory" and sent relevant materials to the earth times for reporting.
After some investigation, he believes that the probability of being a trap is very low. Each other has exposed their core technology. Indeed, they may have any problems and want to turn to human beings for help.
This universal factory is so powerful and convenient that it can produce a large number of parts as long as some raw materials are input. Zhang Yuanda was jealous of this incredible automatic process.
To give a simple example, if 6000 centrifuges are produced by a new civilization, it may take half a year, the corresponding production line needs to be set up, and various human and material resources need to be invested; Using this universal factory, there is no need for a new production line. As long as the specific program is set in the computer, and then the raw materials are put in, the production of various parts may take only three months!
Although there are corresponding 3D printing technologies on earth, there is no way to compare them in terms of productivity and accuracy.
He even kind of wants to close the deal.
"The value of a universal factory is difficult to compare with that of a stellar spacecraft. Then why not study it and assemble another universal factory?"
Even ten, a hundred, a thousand?
Even though the whole reverse engineering may be very difficult, Zhang Yuan still has some confidence in his engineers.
Moreover, it also includes biological machinery rarely involved by humans.
Of course, it must be quite difficult. All kinds of messy biotechnology are not so easy to crack, otherwise these pangolins can't think of this.
"That is, the so-called core, is the production of biological machinery more difficult? In other words, there is no universal factory generation method in the database. "
"Or, these pangolins are lazy and lazy to crack?"
