From black technology to super engineering

The provincial capital is sunny in June, but it is not as suffocating as it was more than a decade ago. Even if the sun is shining directly, the temperature outdoors does not exceed 30 degrees.

On the one hand, there are factors that the global carbon reduction in recent years has fully entered the era of controllable nuclear fusion, and it is also due to the fact that the earth itself has entered the Little Ice Age.

Of course, compared with the era of agricultural civilization, today’s Little Ice Age is no longer a concern—now global agriculture has begun to industrialize and synthesize. No matter how bad the climate is and how unfavorable it is to natural cultivation, with the high consensus reached by the community today, it is impossible for human beings to repeat the mistake of "starving to death".

On the contrary, entering the Little Ice Age means that the earth has truly entered a "livable age" suitable for the current stage of civilization.

Therefore, there are people coming and going on the street, which is very lively.

A black commercial vehicle drove slowly out of the Provincial Hospital under the escort of two cars, then went west along the avenue, and finally entered the Provincial Jiaotong University campus.

Ye Ming stepped out of the business car, quickly boarded the elevator, went up to the top floor, and then got into the small spaceship dedicated to him.

On the spaceship, Director Niu and Su Zi had been waiting for a long time.

"What's the name of the little princess?" Director Niu looked at Ye Ming with a smile and took his briefcase at the same time.

"Cough... I haven't figured it out yet, my nickname is Niu Niu."

"Niu Niu?" Director Niu stopped his hands and stared at Ye Ming: "Are you serious?"

Ye Ming's head was full of black lines: "...Niu! Chiu Niu—is my Mandarin not standard?"

Su Zi laughed: "It's a bit."

"..."

Director Niu opened the briefcase, took out a red envelope and handed it to Ye Ming: "You'd better practice Mandarin... Otherwise, people will call you a bear by a girl's nickname-most of them are called Niu Niu. bad boy."

Ye Ming's head was full of black lines again, his eyes were fixed on the red envelope, he couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you doing?"

"A gift for your little girl—you don't think I'm going to bribe you, do you?"

Ye Ming opened the red envelope and saw a string of small bracelets inside. He thought it was only a thousand dollars, so he immediately put it down: "I want to hold a full moon wine together?"

"That's at your convenience."

The three laughed and chatted for a while, and then the spaceship took off and started heading towards the moon.

Since returning from the moon last time, Ye Ming has been staying on the earth for two months, not going anywhere - he didn't even go to the scene when the new Song-class spacecraft in Dalian set sail a few days ago, but Stay directly in the hospital.

The reason... is naturally that the lacquer and ink are about to be produced.

After personally welcoming the birth of his daughter in the hospital, and staying with him for several days, Ye Ming still couldn't avoid work after all, and Qi and Mo also directly drove him out, saying that he couldn't take care of the baby so he didn't make money all day long... …

This time on the moon, on the one hand, the Kodo people of Youmuxing wanted to bring two warships back. They named Ye Ming to meet the chief gift officer to discuss the follow-up plan, and there are still some issues that need to be discussed with Ye Ming. Ming came to confirm. On the other hand, the space dock is about to be completed. Although Ye Ming is not responsible for the specific construction project, the entire space dock was designed by him. During the trial operation, if there is a problem, everyone can rest assured that he is there.

The small spacecraft continued to accelerate in the air, and soon reached the orbit of the moon.

Today's earth-moon orbit is not as empty as it used to be. There are spaceships shuttling back and forth everywhere, some manned, some scientific research, and of course there are more transport ships in an endless stream.

The L1 Earth-Moon Lagrangian point where the space dock is located is even more lively. In addition to the space dock itself being similar to a small space city, there are also countless spaceships docked there—including construction spaceships, raw material transport ships, Engineering Command and so on.

It’s just that since the spaceship dock itself is a construction dock, rather than a docking port, these spaceships largely use the attitude engine to maintain a distance—only those transport spaceships carrying construction materials will pass through a connection system and the dock. The synchronization is completed, and the loading and unloading is carried out by the construction robot and the mechanical arm of the dock.

Among so many spaceships, the six Song-class space battleships attracted the most attention.

They use the attitude engine to maintain their orientation to avoid collisions with the constantly passing carrier ships, and they are lined up in space. Under the sun, they give people an unparalleled aura.

"It seems that the connecting device needs to be added."

When passing by the space dock, Ye Ming looked at it leisurely, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "I always feel a little messy now."

"I heard that the follow-up design is to turn the space dock into a space city?" Su Zi asked curiously, handing him a cup of coffee.

"Well, it's not expansion, but vertical development. First, build the apron, especially the storage system." Ye Ming looked at one of the spaceships full of construction workers and put on spacesuits for space travel. Walking into the cabin, he shook his head slightly - he did the same thing last time: "Build a few big closed canopies. When the spaceship enters the port, the canopy will open, and it will leave immediately after unloading or unloading."

"Where does the spaceship stop?"

"Just use the connection system to 'bolt' to the space city. This thing is very simple, as long as the connection speed is synchronized, it will be stable and safe."

Soon, the spaceship entered the lunar orbit, and after receiving the passing order, the spaceship jumped in line and landed on the apron of Guanghan Base.

...

Guanghan Base Hotel.

Elder Gu Mu stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the shining space dock in space, his eyes kept shining.

Behind him, the servants had packed up and saluted, and stood quietly by the side with their hands tied.

At this time, the door was knocked lightly, and after the servant opened the door, a young female assistant appeared at the door: "Elder, the human chief priest has arrived."

"Where do we meet? In the living room?"

"In the office of Da Lisi."

"Oh, okay." Gu Mu drank the coffee, and then looked deeply at the space dock.

When he first arrived on the moon, the spaceship dock was just a "prototype"—it was a bit too much to say that it was a prototype, but on the surface, it really couldn't be completed in a year or two if it was to be fully completed.

In the subsequent experience of the earth, he believed in his judgment even more, that is, the human space dock should be a long-term plan.

After all, the industrial capabilities of human beings on the earth are too amazing.

But... it's only been a few months—four months, right? This space dock... is almost finished!

And it is a super large dock with 13 construction docks!

This terrifying construction ability made him think it was his own hallucination—but when he passed the space dock this time, he counted carefully, and there were indeed thirteen docks.

Thinking of what Human Great Rites said at the beginning, "Once the space dock is built, we can serve dumplings", Elder Gu Mu took a deep breath.

He's on Earth, he's eaten dumplings, and he knows that... This sentence means that something can be produced quickly.

"Elder?"

Seeing Elder Gu Mu still staring at the space dock, the assistant couldn't help reminding him.

"Well, let's go."

...

Three minutes later, Ye Ming's office.

"Hello, Mr. Gu Mu." Ye Ming stood up, stretched out his hand to the tall Gu Mu, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Are you still used to being on the moon these days?"

"Very good, your artificial gravity scheme is very good, and you don't feel any difference from the earth."

"Yeah." Ye Ming nodded, then invited the other party into the sofa, and sat a little further away.

This time, the line of sight of the two people was pretty even, and I didn't have to look up anytime and anywhere.

After taking his seat, Ye Ming looked at the other party with a smile. He hadn't dealt with this group of Kodo people for a long time, and he didn't know that the other party was about to leave, and there was nothing to talk to him alone—this ancient tree stayed on the earth. After four months, Director Xia of the foreign affairs department has been dealing with it. It stands to reason that he has gotten used to human diplomatic habits and understood the human power structure.

Find yourself...what can I talk about?

"Your Excellency, Director of Great Rites." Elder Gu Mu took the teacup handed over by Su Zi, and thanked him—he knew that human leaders valued such small understandings in private, especially the leaders' secretaries, who belonged to confidantes Respect for confidants means respect for leaders: "First of all, on behalf of Shengxing and Youmuxing, I would like to congratulate the completion of the human space dock."

"Oh, thank you." Ye Ming nodded slightly, and at the same time wondered again what medicine was sold in this gourd-could it be that he still wants humans to help build battleships, um... the kind that makes dumplings?

But human beings are not rich, and the production capacity is not enough!

Of course, Ye Ming did not ignore the two "representatives" in Gu Mu's mouth - it can be seen that the Kodo people do still have the intention to "declare" Canglanxing.

"It's like this." Elder Gu Mu pursed his lips and took a light breath: "The biggest distance between us and human civilization...is still the space distance. Even if your latest interstellar gate spaceship wants to reach the It will take more than three months for the star system."

"Almost." Ye Ming nodded with a smile: "That's why we chose to carry the man-made singularity on an space carrier—it will complete its trial voyage in a month, and it will reach your galaxy through the star gate , as long as you can provide energy, we can complete the rapid and efficient exchange of necessary materials."

"Yes, but... that still can't make up for the gap in space."

"Oh? Do you mean the flight time of the spaceship?"

"Yes." Elder Gu Mu nodded heavily, looking at the glass behind Ye Ming - from here, the space dock could just be seen.

"I wonder if humans can help us complete the construction and upgrade of the space dock?"

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback, and looked at the other party in disbelief.

Facing Ye Ming's gaze, Elder Gu Mu said sternly: "Your Excellency Da Lisi, if the spaceship can be built on the Youmu star—whether it is for you or for us, then the spaceship will arrive at VSC as soon as possible. -10 star gates."

"In the foreseeable future, if the executors insist on attacking human beings, then the star will be the front line facing the enemy most directly. As allies of human beings, because we have a common enemy...we think that if we can Youmuxing has a high-capacity space dock factory, so it will definitely have positive significance for future wars."

Elder Gu Mu paused and continued: "As allies of mankind, we are willing to take the risk of war, but we also hope that mankind can consider the risks we take..."

Ye Ming stared at the other party quietly, his brain spinning non-stop.

Good guy!

This person stayed on the earth for a few months, not only did he learn how to behave like a human being, did he also learn the historical allusions of human beings?

The reason why human beings "sold" two space battleships capable of interstellar travel to the Kodo tribe at an extremely cheap price is that on the one hand, it is because they want to unite with the Kodo tribe to establish a backup front—once the high-dimensional space membrane cannot defend against the enemy , then the battleships of the Kodo people who cannot pass through the star gate will fight the invading enemies in the Triangulum galaxy!

Although the Kodo people have been climbing the space weapon technology tree without knowing it at the beginning, in order to "ambush" and destroy the executors of their ancestors, but how should I put it... Now the executors are targeting humans.

Human beings have to accept this feeling.

On the other hand, humans want to do longer-term business with the Kodo people. At the same time, the spaceship itself is based on Aita's command system, and humans are not afraid of the Kodo people's defection.

To put it bluntly, at a critical moment, human beings can directly let Aita control the spaceship to join the battle-of course, if this is done, the credibility of human beings will basically be lost. So unless humanity is on the verge of extinction, and those spaceships that use human technology are still standing by, this situation will definitely not happen.

But on the whole, human beings' attitude towards the Kodo tribe is to grant mermaids—this is different from the Kela tribe.

And this Elder Gumu hopes that human beings will have another star to help them upgrade the space dock...

This...then how will humans do business in the future?

"This... I can't answer you now." After pondering for a few seconds, Ye Ming shook his head slightly, and said frankly: "Mr. Gu Mu, you also know... The current industry of mankind is still based on the industry on the earth. Including Space docks too—look how many transport ships we've built to transport tools and materials..."

"I understand, but we have an industrial foundation." Gu Mu stared at Ye Ming and said softly: "Although our industry is not as good as yours, it is always better than the Carat people. As long as you can assist us in industrial upgrading, use Before long, we will be able to complete the needs of the dock construction."

Industrial upgrade? I am afraid that we will continue to help the poor!

Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and after pondering for a few seconds, he said softly: "You mean, you want to purchase our industrial mechanical arms and robots, right?"

Gu Mu was slightly taken aback.

purchase?

What should I use for purchasing? Shouldn't it be gifted or exchanged?

"Also, the most powerful part of the human industrial system does not lie in the dexterity and precision of the machine, but in...we have Aita." Ye Ming glanced at the watch lightly, and at the same time remained calm: " The industrial system under Aita, including the manufacturing and construction processes, is where our industry is strongest."

"It doesn't mean that if you purchase some robots, the robotic arm will be able to complete the copy."

As Ye Ming said, he lightly pressed his watch, and asked Ita to help him reject Uda's communication request in his mind-they probably reached a result with the Tara people.
