Jinling Aerospace assembly center.

This high-tech factory, covering an area of more than 100 mu, collects and distributes the parts of the state-of-the-art aerospace equipment in China. The cloud information service is provided by xinghai-1 quantum computer. Through a series of automatic equipment such as assembly line, multi axis electric drive mechanical arm, large and small logistics vehicles, cargo drones and so on, it has realized the completely unmanned standardized production.

It's like a melting pot, melting and casting the dream of the universe for all citizens of the United States.

Standing on the high wall of this giant in awe, Chang Hezhi, one of the leaders of denghuo plan, together with Academician Yuan Huanmin and other senior engineers and executives of Aerospace Science and technology group, stood here quietly waiting for something.

About ten minutes later.

Finally, a black car, escorted by several military vehicles, drove into the park in a rather low-key way and stopped at the gate of the factory at the same time.

As the door opened, a dignified old man and a young man came down from the car almost at the same time.

Needless to say, that old man's identity is not unfamiliar to any Chinese.

As for the young man, the same is true.

Not to mention the Chinese, his academic achievements that don't match his age have already conquered the international academic community. Anyone who has annotated the relevant news of the scientific community can subconsciously call out his name after seeing him -

or, at least, he will know the name "Professor Lu".

Noticing the serious expression on their faces, the old man said with a kind smile.

"Don't be so serious. I just come here to have a look That colonial cabin is in this factory? "

Noticing that the old man looked to his side, Lu Zhou nodded with a smile.

"It's assembled. Please go inside."

"Academician Lu first!"

After a polite ceremony, a group of people walked into the workshop in the center of the space assembly center.

Looking around at the sophisticated automation equipment full of metal texture, the old man said with emotion.

"I've seen a lot of factories all over the country, only here. I've seen them once and shocked them once."

That logistics vehicle is like an endless stream of ants. The interaction with a series of mechanical equipment, such as mechanical arms, conveyor belts, etc., is so smooth that there is no pause at all.

The whole factory is like a whole. Every gear here is running under the coordination of AI. It may not run as fast as it can, but every millimeter is just right.

As if

Even the trajectory is carefully designed.

"This is the latest industrial cloud service technology developed by our group. In addition to the aerospace assembly center, this system has been put into use in the logistics centers of the first tier cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai, as well as some manufacturing enterprises in Jinling High Tech Park and Shanghai pilot industrial park. According to the feedback of our customers, the standardized accessories manufactured by the automation technology have won quite a wide praise in the international market! "

Looking at the shocked expression on the old man's face, after thinking for a moment, the boat continued.

"The application of AI and the automation of industry are the general trend. With the breakthrough of quantum chip and computer technology, we are now barely ahead of the world. In the future, there will be more and more unmanned factories, and the population will move from low-end industries to high-end industries, which will bring a series of social problems, including job mobility, extended education time and so on, which we must consider. "

"Employment rate is really a problem," the old man nodded thoughtfully. "It's unrealistic to hinder the development of technology. When the technology is mature enough, the automation technology will migrate down from the high-end industry sooner or later Is that what you want to say? "

Lu Zhou: "basically right."

"Is there any good solution?"

"Social welfare, increasing public expenditure, developing the tertiary industry They are all very good solutions. I believe that the scholars of the Academy of social sciences must be more professional than me in their research on these problems. "

"I'm afraid social welfare is still a little difficult," the old man frowned, thinking, "our situation is different from other countries. First of all, population is a big problem."

"In the short term, it's a problem," Lu Zhou nodded. "But I believe that as long as the productivity is developed enough, let alone 1.4 billion people, the population will double again, and the expenditure of high welfare society will be maintained."

The old man's face showed a thoughtful expression, and suddenly turned to look at the Secretary behind him.

"Have you written it down?"

The Secretary nodded and closed the shorthand in his hand.

"Write it down."

"Very well."

Nodded, the old man looked at the boat and said with a smile.

"I'll have a meeting to study this matter after I go back. Let's take a look at the colonial module that is going to be sent to Mars first."Said the boat with a smile.

"Just ahead, we have arrived!"

Through an alloy door, in an open workshop, people saw an ostrich egg shaped silver white spacecraft covered with steel brackets.

The space occupied by this spacecraft is about half the size of a basketball court. It seems that it is very difficult to connect it with the spacecraft.

In contrast, it is more like a space station.

At the first sight of the device, almost everyone was shocked by its huge size.

In particular, Academician Yuan Huanmin and other engineers from AVIC group.

Compared with other laymen's "having an eye and watching a lively scene", they are more aware of how difficult it is to send this thing to the sky.

After staring at the spacecraft, which is said to be the colonial module, for a long time, Academician Yuan Huanmin couldn't help asking.

"This thing How are you going to send it to Mars? "

This question has entered the hearts of many people.

Almost everyone, including director Chang Hezhi, who is in charge of the fire landing plan, and the elder of the moon orbit construction committee, has looked to the land boat because of this problem.

In the face of people's questioning, Lu Zhou smiled and explained.

"It's not difficult to send it to Mars. As long as it's put into synchronous orbit first, it can be taken to Mars by either Xiaguang or magpie bridge."

"Of course, we don't need to bother Xiaguang and magpie bridge this time. Our Design Institute designed a separate flight system for the colonial module considering the particularity of the equipment."

"The whole flight system consists of more than 12 different functional components, including the colonial module, which is the core component of the system. Together, it forms a colonial ship with the capability of far planet navigation. We will launch these components into synchronous orbit in batches and complete the assembly there! "

A separate flight system?!

Shocked by the amount of information contained in this sentence, yuan Huanmin said stupidly.

“…… Colonial ship? "

"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, looking at the stunned Academician Yuan Huanmin. "It is not an isolated individual, but a whole with other components."

"Therefore, in theory, it is not only applicable to Mars, nor can it be viewed as an artificial biosphere alone, but also a relatively complete set of distant star colonization system designed by our researchers for extraterrestrial colonization activities."

"If conditions permit, even in the more distant world, it is applicable!"
