Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 726: Artificial Intelligence Xi Yao

Since the direction has been determined, the results will naturally be obtained soon.

Soon a report was placed in front of Chen Xin.

Foam metal is indeed a very good material, with certain strength and ductility, and the internal foam-like structure can make it absorb the energy brought by impact like ordinary foam materials, and the application prospect is very wide.

In construction, however, this material is used more in laminate composites, and is not used alone.

After all, even if the strength of the foam metal material is not bad, the static force that a piece of foam metal and a solid metal ingot can withstand is obviously greater than the latter.

It is not that foam metal cannot be used for support, such as aircraft fuselage and oil well platforms far from shore, thin-walled cylindrical shells are easily damaged when subjected to loads, but if the shell is supported by a continuous foam metal coil, the The structure has greater strength than an unreinforced center shell of the same diameter and size.

But that's a special application environment, not the same as the high-strength lightweight materials required for the dome support structure.

But Chen Xin doesn't mind this. The strength of the foam metal material is not enough to be used as the main material, which does not mean that this material cannot be used.

Because the foam metal material itself is not used as a separate material.

"Can we use foam metal material as filling, and then use other high-strength materials as the skeleton to produce supports that meet the support requirements of the dome structure and at the same time reduce the cost?" Chen Xin explained his thoughts. , asking the others.

"Theoretically, it should be possible, but whether it can be done or not, it still needs to be tested, and the specific material selected should also be tested." A researcher in materials science replied to Chen Xin's inquiry. .

Hearing this answer, Chen Xin nodded and said, "Then go for it, it's time to do experiments and experiments, it's time to do tests and tests, and give me a result as soon as possible."

———————————————

Although Chen Xin did not provide additional help on this matter, the researchers themselves quickly came up with a feasible solution.

"After testing, we determined that using high-strength material as the skeleton and using foam metal material as filling can indeed replace the original high-strength light steel. Although the total weight of the dome is still 30% heavier, its strength and weight have It can meet the design requirements." A researcher submitted their test report to Chen Xin.

After Chen Xin upgraded the supercomputer in the scientific research center, everyone in the entire scientific research center no longer uses paper, but uses tablet computers to directly transfer files, which also makes the entire scientific research center look full of science fiction.

Chen Xin quickly browsed the report submitted by the other party, turned to the final result and took a serious look before asking: "The total weight of the dome has increased by 30% compared with the original, can this weight meet the design requirements? You and Has the design department confirmed it?"

"It has been confirmed. The result given by the design department is that our current plan is adopted. The safety range of the total weight of the dome is 45% more than the original weight. If the key parts are reinforced and structurally optimized, this The value can be enlarged to 60%, and with our current plan, it can already meet the requirements." The researcher replied to Chen Xin, with a trace of uncontrollable excitement on his face.

"What about the cost?" Chen Xin is not surprised that the new solution can meet the requirements in terms of structural strength and weight. He is more concerned about the cost issue.

The researchers also clearly understood that the cost issue was the main reason they came up with this solution, so they replied: "The cost of our current solution is about 60% lower than the original design, and it can fully meet the requirements proposed above. To bear the requirements for the construction of two dome cities.”

Hearing what the researcher said, Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction and said to him: "In this case, submit this report to the design department and revise the design drawings according to this plan. I hope to see it as soon as possible. to the revised design."

"Yes, academician, we will finish it as soon as possible." The researcher nodded before leaving Chen Xin's office.

After the researcher left, Chen Xin leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

He reached out and clicked twice on the table top of the desk, called up the design drawing of the dome city, and projected it. Chen Xin said to himself: "Since the cost of building the dome city is no longer a problem, then It is completely possible to build urban agglomerations according to my previous ideas.

A dome is an urban area, and multiple domes are connected to form a 'big city'.

Well...it doesn't seem like there are multiple domes, a large dome and several small domes are combined together to form a city, the large dome can be used as the main functional area, and the small dome can be used as a residential area..."

Chen Xin was talking to himself, and the projection on the table also changed with his thoughts.

"Academician, in terms of urban planning and construction costs, a large dome and several small domes attached to the large dome are a more suitable solution." A voice sounded in the office, and a blue female face appeared at the same time. On Chen Xin's desk.

This is the artificial intelligence installed by Chen Xin after upgrading the supercomputer of the scientific research center. In addition to providing computing power support for all research departments and researchers of this scientific research center~IndoMTL.com~ is also a scientific research center. the big housekeeper.

Through the cameras and various other electronic devices installed in the scientific research center, it can be said that the entire scientific research center is under her control, and Chen Xin shared part of his control authority with this artificial intelligence, allowing her to The affairs of the scientific research center can be handled according to pre-set rules.

It can be said that in addition to the things that must be confirmed and handled by Chen Xin, the large and small things in the scientific research center are now handled by this artificial intelligence. She is equivalent to Tang Tang's role, but compared to Tang Tang , artificial intelligence is far more efficient and trivial in handling things.

Of course, artificial intelligence will also be a little rigid in handling things, and will only strictly follow pre-set programs and rules, not as flexible as humans.

As for why she made suggestions to Chen Xin, it was because Chen Xin opened her auxiliary function and asked her to calculate the cost-effectiveness of her ideas.

"Xiyao, calculate if the dome is built according to this structure, whether the structure can support it." Chen Xin adjusted the projection on the table and gave new instructions to the artificial intelligence.

"Yes, academician." Accepting Chen Xin's instructions, Xi Yao started a new calculation.
