Half-immortal civilization

Without wearing a space suit, Li Zhengqiang walked down like this, and there are many scientists from the empire behind.For this technology that is said to be able to look into the future for thousands of years, to be precise, it is the application and planning of technology, the empire has invested almost all the funds, scientists, resources, etc. that can be allocated.Even the dedicated space factory under construction is a temporary modification of the drawings of a half-constructed space factory.

A factory under construction cannot be quiet.The shoes with the magnets walk lightly on the space base.There is no up or down, only arrows and signage.

In this rapidly developing and rising empire, there is no dazzling "welcome show", just a young student who comes to lead everyone to the work place; it is so simple, because everyone has their own work and responsibilities; The important thing is that after making a contribution, these contribution points can be exchanged for status, such as a title; and these contribution points are always passed on to future generations, but trading is prohibited.There is a bright future, no one likes to be lazy!

Li Zhengqiang observed as he walked.The ground is dark gray steel color - in order to prevent light pollution, etc., the steel here is oxidized to this color at high temperature.But these are nothing, the most attractive thing is still the dark but bright starry sky.Outside the transparent high-strength glass cover is an endless starry sky.

Today's space factory construction technology has made continuous breakthroughs, and it is no longer the small pattern it used to be.The current space factory, officially numbered No. 13, is designed as a flat continent with a length of 1700 meters, a width of 1200 meters, and a thickness of 300 meters.However, on the surface, there are densely packed semicircular glass canopies. This is a sightseeing platform and a resting place for personnel.Green plants grow wantonly here, some are fruits, some are fine grass, some are flowers and trees.

Of course, the current factory is still under construction.Many places are just design drawings on the computer; it will take some time to wait for it to become a beautiful modern factory.

The current glass canopy is about 50 meters high and 500 meters wide, which is just enough to put down a flying saucer relatively easily; the surrounding greenery is relatively small. After all, this is the place where flying saucers take off and land, so it must be open.Therefore, there is only a green belt of about ten meters around the periphery.

In the plane position, there is a glass cabin under construction in the distance.A piece of special space-grade glass with a length of more than 20 meters was easily picked up by a mecha with only the upper body. This mecha with a height of 20 meters put the glass in place; Only the robotic arm, start to apply glue, install screws, install support frames and so on.

Soon, Li Zhengqiang was dazzled.In just ten seconds, one side of glass is installed.Then the mecha, which only had an anthropomorphic upper body, turned a corner nimbly, picked up the glass next to it and continued working.Li Zhengqiang saw clearly that there were wheels underneath it; there were several large characters on the back of the mecha, each one measuring a meter square: Imperial Ordnance Construction Number.

There are many such construction mechas, and they are the guarantee for the rapid construction of the Chinese Empire over the years.The mecha researched by Xiang Yundong back then is not used in war, but in construction.

No machine can be more sensitive and reliable than human hands!Even the top robots can only move under the control of established programs; even in the current empire.The top machines still need to be inspected by both hands.

Therefore, the new mechanical concept—that is, the current mecha concept: to amplify human capabilities has become popular on Venus.Mecha technology and ideas are penetrating every core of the empire.For example, right now, the cost of such an ordinary construction mecha is actually very low, and the most expensive place may be the central computer.But over the years, the empire's electronic technology has advanced by leaps and bounds.The technologies accumulated for 40 years exploded, from energy materials to electronic software.Most of the technologies here, if you take any one out, are more than one generation advanced than the current earth.

The space factory hovers slowly in space, a ray of sunlight bursts in, and the sun jumps out from the "horizon" in an instant; at the same time, the almost completely transparent glass cabin that can observe the space just now becomes beautiful, as if The compressed aurora is overflowing with colorful light.This is intercepted radiation and harmful light.The rest of the light is filtered.Light that is beneficial to life can promote the growth of plants.

Walking to the edge of the glass cabin, a row of "holes" appeared, below which were straight up and down passages and criss-cross elevators.here.It is the channel for people to enter and exit.When Li Zhengqiang and others came in, a group of people happened to go out.

This newly designed space factory is different from the previous ones. In order to make the tens of thousands of kilometers of super guide rails and brackets as precise as possible, it does not use rotating artificial gravity technology, and just floats quietly in space like this.

Of course, such a design and working environment cannot last for a long time for human beings, otherwise it will definitely lead to a decline in physical fitness.Therefore, unless necessary, everyone here generally only has 28 days of working time in one Venus month.Of course, if the research is important or at a critical moment, you can continue, and the rewards are generous-if the results are achieved, the rewards will be doubled!But for the sake of health and longevity, the empire does not encourage such work.It can only be said that this is a somewhat contradictory measure. On the one hand, it is a generous reward, and on the other hand, it is a strategy of discouraging; but as a new empire, there are too many shortcomings: he is only ten years old, and he cannot be expected to so perfect.

Elevators, to be precise, should be electric passages - because there is no gravity here.The elevator quickly traveled a thousand meters and sent Li Zhengqiang and his party to the research room.

The research room is hundreds of meters square—the length, width, and height are almost all [-] meters. On the six walls, everyone wears unique shoes, and magnetic instruments.Under the magnetic force, these people and objects are firmly attracted to the wall.

It's just that such a working environment made Li Zhengqiang somewhat unable to adapt.In this weightless environment, people can walk around freely.Imagine that in your room, there are people walking on all six sides.If you look at yourself as a coordinate, some people walk sideways on the vertical wall, and some people just hang upside down.There are several soft cotton ropes hanging in the middle, and everyone can shuttle and move gently along the ropes.

In this laboratory, three surfaces are actually transparent, so everyone works on the transparent glass, and looks at the bright space when they are tired.I really enjoy this kind of life—of course, only the scientists themselves know all the hardships.

But what surprised Li Zhengqiang even more was that when they first came in, the cotton rope in the center of the laboratory was removed and replaced by a 70-meter-sized three-dimensional virtual model, and the scientists were constantly correcting the data.This model is the expected guide rail technology - a device with a length of tens of thousands of kilometers that can directly launch space probes out of the solar system; it is called the railway technology of the space age.

The envisioned design is a triangular carbon fiber support with a side length of ten kilometers, and then continuously extending to tens of thousands of kilometers; in the middle are two electromagnetic guide rails that can adjust the diameter appropriately, with a length of tens of thousands of meters.And on the bracket, there are a large number of photovoltaic cells to provide energy for this super rail.
