"Professor Gao!"

In the video, Professor Gao raised his hand to say hello: "Hello boss, I haven't chatted with you for a long time!"

"If the professor wants to chat with me, he can do it at any time. I have a technical problem with the professor today and I want to consult the professor!"

Professor Gao raised his hand and said, "Boss, please speak!"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "I just talked to the person in charge of the lunar base. I asked him if he wants to refine the helium on the moon within ten years, and with the current technical conditions and mechanical equipment, he needs to go to the moon. How many people to send? He told me that at least more than 13,000 people need to be sent to collect and refine all the lunar soil in ten years, and the number of existing equipment will be increased by more than sixty times. I forget it. The cost of machinery and equipment will not be mentioned. The investment in human resources costs is high, mainly because the employees who go to the moon to work are expatriates, and the salary is several times that of the current employees, and they will be on the moon in the past few decades. Neither the refined helium III nor the mineral resources can be put into commercial use for profit, and can only be stored for future use. Therefore, all of our projects on the moon are at a loss, at least for ten or twenty years!"

"So I want to ask the professor if I can update the equipment, improve the efficiency of lunar soil collection and lunar mining equipment, and adopt artificial intelligence systems on a large scale to minimize the use of manpower!"

Professor Gao thought about it and said: "At present, I am thinking of a factory called mobile extraction and separation smelting system engineering. It is also called a mobile smelting factory. As the name suggests, it is a mobile factory, but because it is mobile, its volume is not the same. It’s going to be big, but it’s high-tech!"

"Let me make an analogy. It is like a harvester that harvests rice. It can be moved. It provides a one-stop service from harvesting to threshing and bagging. The harvester walks over. The rice in the field is harvested, and the grains are already harvested. Bagging is as simple as that. You don't need to harvest the millet and straw together and transport it home for threshing. Instead, it can be done directly in the field!"

Tang Xiaochuan’s eyes brightened: "The professor meant that as long as this mobile smelting project is developed and produced, there is no need to send excavators to dig up the lunar soil and ore into trucks and transport them back to the smelting plant, but to complete it directly on site. Digging, refining and smelting, when it comes out, it is already a finished product?"

Professor Gao nodded: "That's what it means!"

Tang Xiaochuan hurriedly asked: "How long will it take for this mobile smelting plant to be developed?"

"This is a system engineering, which involves a lot of fields. If you want to develop a fully mature technology, I don't think it can be done in a short time. Within two to three years, I think it should be possible to develop a basic Version, the production efficiency of the supporting equipment of a mobile smelting plant is 2-3 times that of the existing machinery and equipment of the same unit. It is impossible to increase the efficiency to ten times or even dozens of times at this stage. !"

"It's not bad to be able to increase the production efficiency by 2 to 3 times. This can save a lot of labor costs. Then I ask Professor Gao for this matter. I hope you and the team below you can produce the finished product in the least time!"

Professor Gao agreed: "In about two years, I believe there will be finished products developed and produced!"

In order to keep it confidential, Tang Xiaochuan separated aerospace flight, space exploration engineering and Feitian Technology Group a year ago. At present, the aerospace field involved in Feitian Technology Group is limited to launching rockets and satellites, manned spacecraft development, and spacecraft. The layout and construction of the Central Sky Station, the exploration and development of the moon, and the exploration of extraterrestrial planets and outer space are all independently managed by the Space Center. There are only less than five people who know this in Feitian Technology.

Tang Xiaochuan received a call from Cui Yuzhou, the chief engineer of the amphibious carrier while patrolling the construction of the space center's sky station. Cui Yuzhou said in the phone that the sea and air amphibious carrier has entered the final stage of outfitting, that is, installing nuclear reactors inside the hull.

The so-called outfitting refers to the process of installing various instruments and equipment inside the ship's hull after the structure of the ship's main body and cabin has been completed.

The construction of the space center sky station is of course very important, and the construction of this amphibious mothership is also very important. Tang Xiaochuan rushed to the shipyard soon after receiving a call from Cui Yuzhou.

When he saw this amphibious mothership, Tang Xiaochuan found that the workers were spraying paint on the outer wall of the ship to prevent rust. In the dry dock, many managers, engineers and workers gathered on one side, four of which were wrapped in lead shells. The nuclear reactor is placed aside.

"The boss is here!" I don't know who shouted.

Everyone looked behind and saw Tang Xiaochuan approaching. People gave way, and Cui Yuzhou greeted him: "Boss, the four reactors have been transported over, and they are about to be hoisted onto the ship with a gantry crane!"

Tang Xiaochuan looked at the four nuclear reactors, all of which were packaged in lead shells, nodded and said, "Safety first!"

"Understood!" Cui Yuzhou agreed, and immediately commanded: "Check the gantry crane's steel ropes, hooks, and the lead shell outer packaging and hook holes of the reactor again. There should be no omissions. If you find any problems, report them immediately!"

Some staff immediately began to check again. After five minutes, all checks were completed. Cui Yuzhou immediately ordered the gantry crane to lift the nuclear reactor.

Four hooks were hung in the hook holes of the lead shell of a reactor under the operation of four workers. One after another, they made "OK" gestures. The gantry crane operator operated the machine to slowly lift the reactor up and slowly rise. As for the ship decks are the same height, then slowly move to the ship deck.

"Raise, raise another 30 centimeters!" Seeing that the height of the reactor is not enough, the workers on the deck hurriedly gestured.

Although they are all skilled, no one dared to be careless at this time. Under everyone’s nervous gaze, the reactors were hoisted one by one on the ship’s deck and then gently lowered. There was a trailer on the deck to catch the reactor, and the reactor was directly Placed on the trailer, the trailer was driven by the driver to the direction of the lift of the fighter plane, and was transported one by one to the reactor compartment, where engineers and workers had long been waiting.

The installation of the reactor is not very easy, and many issues need to be considered. It took four days for the engineers and workers to install all the four reactors.

"Is the equipment for converting nuclear energy into electrical energy in the reactor normal? Is it connected to the power circuit system?" Tang Xiaochuan asked.

After checking, an engineer said loudly: "The equipment for converting nuclear energy to electrical energy is normal, and it has been connected to the power system!"

Tang Xiaochuan turned his head to look at Cui Yuzhou: "Chief Engineer Cui, please try to see if the reactor's power generation function can work normally?"

"Then try?" Cui Yuzhou asked back.

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Try it, the ugly wife always wants to see her in-laws!"

Cui Yuzhou walked to the console of a nuclear reactor, reached out and held the handle and pushed it upwards: "Manually turn on the No. 1 reactor!"

The engineer staring at the screen looked at it and shouted loudly: "Reactor No. 1 was successfully turned on!"

Subsequently, Cui Yuzhou pushed up the on-off control valves of the other three reactors one by one, and all opened successfully. Of course, electronic control can also be carried out, but that will be the next thing. Now it is to see if the reactor can work normally and release energy. .

Seeing that all four reactors were working normally, Cui Yuzhou immediately commanded: "Connect the power conversion system!"

The engineer in charge of the system pushed on the knife, saw the green indicator light on the power conversion system equipment, and responded loudly: "The power conversion system is successfully connected. Is it sending power to the entire ship?"

"delivery!"

"Received... to deliver power to the entire ship!"

At this time, all the electric lights on the ship were on. Thousands of workers, engineers, and scientists suddenly cheered and threw their hats high.

"Successful, successful..." People rushed and told each other, and many people hugged each other. This is our amphibious mothership, the world's first fast-reaction all-weather amphibious mothership!
