Jinling Aerospace Assembly Center.

This high-tech factory covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres collects and distributes parts of cutting-edge aerospace equipment across China. Xinghai No. 1 quantum computer provides cloud information services. It also uses assembly lines, multi-axis electric drive robotic arms, large and small logistics vehicles, and freight. A series of automated equipment such as drones have achieved completely unmanned standardized production.

It is like a melting pot, melting and casting the dream of the nation of all the nations of the Republic.

Standing in awe at the tall wall of this giant, Director Chang Hezhi, one of the leaders of the ascension plan, together with Academician Yuan Huanmin and other senior engineers and executives of the Aerospace Technology Group, stood quietly waiting here What is it.

It took about ten minutes.

Finally, a black car, escorted by several military vehicles, drove into the park quite low-key and stopped at the door of the factory.

With the door open, an old man with an august face and a young man came down from the car almost at the same time.

Needless to say, the identity of the old man is no stranger to any Chinese.

The same goes for that young man.

Not to mention the Chinese, his academic achievements that do not match his age have already conquered the international academic community. Anyone who has followed the relevant news in the scientific world can call him subconsciously after seeing him first name--

Or at least you will know the name "Professor Lu".

Noting the serious expressions on the faces of the crowd, the old man smiled with a kind smile.

"Don't be so serious, I just came here to take a look ... that colonial cabin, is this building?"

Noting that the old man looked at himself, Lu Zhou nodded with a smile.

"It's already assembled, please inside."

"Academician Lu please!"

After some kindness, the group walked into the factory building located in the center of the aerospace assembly center.

Looking around at the high-precision 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 saw it once and shocked it once."

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

The entire factory is like a whole, and every gear here is running under the coordination of ai. Its speed may not be the fastest, but every 1 mm is just right.

As if ...

Even the motion 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 logistics centers in first-tier cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai, as well as Jinling High-tech Park and Shanghai Some manufacturing enterprises in the Shanghai Lingang Industrial Park. According to feedback from our customers, standardized accessories manufactured through automation technology have won quite a good reputation in the international market! "

After looking at the shocked expression on the old man's face, Lu Zhou thought for a moment before continuing.

"The application of AI and industrial automation is the general trend. With the breakthrough of quantum chips and computer technology, we are now barely ahead of the world. There will be more and more unmanned factories in the future, and the population will change from low-end industries. The migration to high-end industries will bring a series of social issues, including job mobility, extended education, and so on, which we must consider. "

"The employment rate is indeed a problem," the old man nodded thoughtfully. "It is unrealistic to impede the development of technology. When the technology is mature enough, this automation technology will sooner or later migrate from the high-end industry ... What you want to express do you mean this?"

Lu Zhou: "Basically correct."

"Is there any good solution?"

"Social welfare, increasing public expenditure, developing the tertiary industry ... are all good solutions. I believe that the scholars of the Academy of Social Sciences will definitely be more professional in studying these issues than I am."

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

"In the short term, it is a problem," Lu Zhou nodded, "but I believe that as long as the productivity is sufficiently developed, let alone 1.4 billion people, even if the population doubles, it will also be able to maintain high welfare society spending. "

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

"Did you write it down?"

The secretary nodded and closed the shorthand notebook.

"Note it down."

"well."

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

"This matter will be discussed when I go back. Let's take a look at the colony cabin that will be sent to Mars first."

Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"Just ahead, we are here!"

Through an alloy door, in an empty factory building, everyone saw an ostrich egg-shaped silver-white spacecraft covered by a steel frame.

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

In contrast, it is more like a space station.

At the first glance of seeing this device, almost everyone was shocked by the huge size.

Especially Yuan Huanmin and other engineers from Hangke Group.

Compared to other laymen's "to have an eye addiction, to watch a lively", they know how difficult it is to get this thing into the sky.

Staring dumbfounded at the spacecraft, said to be a colonial capsule, for a long time, Academician Yuan Huanmin finally couldn't help asking.

"This thing ... how are you going to send it to Mars?"

This question was asked in the hearts of many people.

Almost everyone, including Director Chang Hezhi, the person in charge of the ascent plan, and the elders of the famous lunar orbital construction committee, turned to Lu Zhou for this issue.

Facing the eyes of everyone asking, Lu Zhou smiled and explained.

"It's not difficult to send it to Mars. As long as it is sent to the synchronous orbit first, whether it is Xiaguang or Yingqiao, it can be taken to Mars."

"Of course, this time we don't need to worry about Xiaguang and Qiaoqiao. When designing the colonial cabin, our design institute considered the special characteristics of this equipment and designed a flight system for it."

"Including the colony module as the core component, the entire flight system contains more than twelve different functional components, which together form a colony ship with far-plane navigation capabilities. We will launch these components in 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 sullenly.

"... Colonial, colonial ship?"

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

"Therefore, in theory, it is not only applicable to Mars, nor can it be regarded as an artificial biosphere alone. It is a relatively complete far-planet colony system designed by our researchers for extraterrestrial colonization."

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