The Clipper transport ship returns to Earth, leaving the space factory alone in Earth orbit.

When the space factory is stable, it begins to wait for the activation command.

On the satellite orbit a thousand kilometers away from the earth, the space factory moves around the earth at high speed.

When it received the order from the ground command center, it began to slowly unfold.

Already a highly folded and compressed space factory. All the parts inside it started to work like a blooming flower.

After the space factory was fully deployed, its volume immediately expanded hundreds of times.

Its physical part is only enlarged eight or nine times. But most of the space factories are composed of various magnetic fields.

Now the space factory has been fully activated, and the power supply starts to deliver power to the corresponding modules.

The mechanical gears began to rotate rapidly, driving the mechanical components to change. Various processing structures and compliance with electromagnetic fields began to gradually unfold.

The fully expanded space factory looks like a big mushroom.

Various physical substances including communication processing energy and so on are mushroom stems

The volume of the ultra-miniature nuclear power plant occupies 50% of the mushroom pole of the space factory.

The huge power generation power of ultra-miniature nuclear power plants has begun to provide sufficient energy for space factories.

The canopy of the mushroom is the core processing area of ​​the entire space factory.

It is composed of various composite electric fields to form a complex electromagnetic field material processing center.

There is an electric arc flashing on it now and then, not because of a leakage from the space factory. Instead, the processing area uses a super-strong magnetic field as a processing method.

Equipment deployed in space will not affect the earth's environment without personnel around it.

Its electromagnetic field is not shielded in any way and is directly exposed to the outside.

When the space factory is activated, these electromagnetic fields are also charged to work.

The cosmic particles hit the complex electromagnetic field processing center in the space factory, and under the influence of the super strong electromagnetic field, a discharge phenomenon will occur.

The space factory is fully deployed, and the self-inspection of each functional module has been completed. It is in as designed condition and ready to work.

It sends a message to the outside and starts to contact the equipment that sends it raw materials.

After waiting for a short time, I saw a blue whale-shaped spacecraft approaching in the distance.

This is Xinghai Explorer 2, and its main mission is to capture special asteroids in the asteroid belt.

It transports captured samples to Earth for scientists to study. In order to find valuable materials.

However, no matter how advanced the scanning equipment is, it is impossible to scan the interior of every asteroid.

To capture the asteroid in the storage space, there will definitely be some mistakes in judgment.

These asteroids do not contain an iota of special material at all. They are all composed of common compounds such as very common ferrosilicon.

In the past, Xinghai Explorer 2 would throw these things directly into the universe.

Now that there is a space factory, it can deliver materials that previously needed to be discarded to the space factory on each return trip.

Let the space factory use these multi-element-rich asteroid materials to process suitable items.

It saves the need to transport raw materials from the earth for processing. The cost of doing so is too high, and the product is completely uncompetitive.

Xinghai Explorer II came near the space factory.

Immediately protruding from its interior is a transparent tube, which is directly inserted into the material inlet of the space factory.

Start delivering asteroids to the space factory through this tube.

Most of these asteroids are within a meter in diameter.

The space factory received the asteroid sent by Star Explorer II.

It keeps sending tons of material, enough for space factories to process for a long time.

Xinghai Explorer 2 will return to Earth after delivering the objects.

These asteroids entered the space factory, and they were immediately crushed by a crushing hammer made of silicon gold crystal material.

The residue obtained by crushing these asteroids, after preliminary screening. According to the classification of ingredients, it enters different processing workshops.

The material processing workshop of the space factory, its principle is basically the same as that of the microwave oven.

It's just that the power and magnetic field strength are tens of thousands of times stronger, and the induction cooker can only heat the water value.

The complex electromagnetic field processing center of the space factory can heat any element on the periodic table.

Using super-strong electromagnetic waves, the molecules or atoms inside the material are vibrated.

Due to the accelerated movement of the particles inside the material, its temperature rises sharply, and soon it begins to melt.

The space factory conducts preliminary screening on these melted materials.

The screened raw materials are immediately transported to the next processing center.

Here is a large high-frequency magnetic field, which is mainly responsible for changing the properties of the material.

When the raw material comes here, it is dissociated into ion state by the super strong magnetic field.

Space factories mainly use electromagnetic fields to process materials, non-ionic electrically neutral materials, which cannot be classified by electromagnetic fields.

Materials in ionic state, after passing through multiple composite electromagnetic fields.

Each material follows a certain trajectory due to the difference in the mass of the charge.

This device can directly separate different materials.

The material requiring further processing goes to the next processing center.

Materials that do not need to be processed are electronically compensated. Reduce it to a substance composed of a single element.

The compound electromagnetic field can highly differentiate into absolutely pure raw materials. Even isotopic materials can be separated with this device.

In the raw material storage box, after several tons of asteroids were separated, there was a raw material the size of a small yellow rice.

It is uranium 235 with a purity of 100%. A coveted material for many small nations on Earth.

This simple material separation technology is completely infeasible on earth.

The space factory is on a high-speed orbit, and it is in a vacuum and weightless environment.

Processing will not be affected by gravity and airborne substances.

There are superconducting materials at the core of the magnetic field generator. The ultra-strong magnetic field can be maintained only with a low current.

This kind of material processing method that could not be done on the earth before, is due to the advancement of technology. has been formally implemented.

Using electromagnetic field processing technology is the most cost-effective processing method in space factories.

Multiple electromagnetic fields screen out the ions that meet the requirements, and it will be combined according to the materials recorded in the computer.

For the synthesis of this required material, for example, you want a high-strength steel.

The magnetic field processing center responsible for the synthesis of materials only needs to ingest iron ions, oxygen ions, carbon ions, manganese ions and other ions that make up super strong steel.

After moving them to the specified position, the electrons are compensated.

Let these ions directly grow the super strong steel you need.

In this way, it is also very convenient to control the composition of the elements inside the raw material.

It can create materials flawlessly, up to theoretical limits.

The most important thing is that this processing method also uses 3D printing.

It can directly form various forms of parts that the target wants in the material processing stage. Little to no size is required.

The synthesized materials, they return to the physical part of the space factory again.

There are industrial robots with excellent performance, which assemble these parts according to the program.
