I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 954: 6X4 standard and controlled nuclear fusion
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The opening of outer space resources has come to an end, and it has also opened the prelude for capitalists to compete for the benefits of the space market. A total of six large external space stations with an area of more than 2,000 acres have been leased to developers around the world. All development work has not yet begun. Space tourism and space real estate advertisements have already occupied the large screen of Times Square in the United States. .
Jiang Chen even heard that Yike Group had sold 2,000 sets of commercial housing in the Xinghuancheng Development Zone before shipping construction equipment to Anga Island.
Although most of the living space is in the ring part of the Star City, not everyone is happy to live in a small living unit. The rich people who pursue the quality of life do not care about those ten or twenty million people. They can look down on the entire city and look up at the entire starry sky. This is what they are after.
Nearly more than 30 billion yuan in revenue, the CEO of Yike almost fell off his chair, busy calling and Jiang Chen thanked.
This is just the beginning. When the area of 700 acres is fully developed, the benefits of various shopping malls will not be lower than the income of the 2,000 commercial houses in this area.
On the other hand, "6X4 standard" has become a hot word for online search.
6 meters long and 4 meters wide, the caliber of the Star City external space station. If there is no accident, the "6X4 standard" proposed by Xinghuan Trading will become the design standard for all space station interfaces in the Star Age and will continue to be used.
The power of habit is terrible, especially for a civilization. Unless there are unresolvable defects, the standards that have been accepted by everyone are basically unlikely to change.
Like the imperfect USB interface, it ruled almost the entire PC era.
As the details of the "6X4 standard" were made public, a large number of space station design companies came into being.
These companies are mainly concentrated in the Silicon Valley area, and most of them are transformed by aerospace companies engaged in the design of rocket launch satellites. These companies provide space station design solutions for large companies interested in establishing their own space station in Star City, but do not have the technical requirements, and help them pass the qualification certification. Even SpaceX has opened a similar business, and the first business is to design an automated steel-making space station that can be connected to the Star City for the US Steel Corporation.
It can be said that a business forum of Xinghuan Trading directly spawned an industry with a scale of over 10 billion.
Affected by this, aerospace-related majors that were not considered as popular majors in colleges and universities are now gradually becoming popular, and even a number of branch majors have been born due to operational needs. Such as space station design, biosphere engineering, spacecraft design, etc ...
And in the field of aerospace, it has walked in front of many major universities in the world, which undoubtedly belongs to the University of Corot.
There are many auras on the head. This Coro University, which was established from the beginning to export talents to Xinghuan Trade, has gradually been favored by other large enterprises with the establishment of the space elevator. Although the international academic field is still not first-class, its position in the commercial field has already possessed a considerable weight.
......
Lunar colony.
A cargo ship engraved with the Star Ring trade logo landed steadily on the tarmac where the cement was poured. The staff who had been waiting for a long time operated the mechanical arm and unloaded the cargo box in the belly of the spacecraft. At the same time, dozens of people in spacesuits stepped down from the spacecraft and led by a staff member towards the colony. Walk in the direction.
This is the fourth batch this month.
After the completion of the space elevator, the round trip to the moon is no longer the kind of disposable rockets, replaced by vertical takeoff and landing cargo ships. The supply that was once every few months has now become several times a month.
Another intuitive change is that there are now more and more people in the colony.
From the initial dozens of people to more than one hundred people, there are now 500 people in the entire moon colony. Except for some engineers and scientists, many of them have no specialties in the colonial construction. For example, journalists, musicians, painters, pure ordinary people ...
Standing in the colony, Tang Weijie looked at the newcomers coming from afar. He didn't know what it would do for so many people, but he believed that the high-level executives of Xinghuan Trading definitely made their intentions. It's just that he, the colonial administrator, is temporarily unable to understand.
The dozen newcomers left and right along the way, everything here is so fresh for them that some people even exclaimed when passing by a space farm ... Although this Exclaimed that only he could hear.
Compared to a few months ago, this colony on the surface of the moon has become a lot more decent. With the exception of mines and space farms, most living areas and work areas are connected by underground pipes.
Looking up from a distance, like a bunker connected by a trench. Before the breakthrough of shield technology, this design can effectively reduce the threat of meteorite. After all, the moon has no atmosphere, and the entire surface is full of potholes, which shows how frequent meteorites are.
The entrance to the colony is two valves.
Like the design of most submarine facilities, after crossing the first gate, the vacuum buffer chamber is filled with air, and then the second gate is opened, and a group of people continue to move forward and take off the spacesuit in the locker room, After taking a bath, I put on a casual dress with air holes on the joints.
Next, everyone gathered in the central square of the colony.
"Okay, new people, look at this side." Tang Weijie clapped his hands, indicating that everyone looked at him, "You are the fourth batch of this month, first of all, I have to wish you on the moon Happy life. In addition, I have to say a lot, you will miss life on earth. "
"Take out an hour or two every day to go to the gravity room to avoid osteoporosis. Obey the colonial discipline, any fights will be expelled. Remember to bring your own ID card at any time, that ’s yours The ID card can be used at any time. It is necessary to pay attention to these, and if there are any unclear questions, ask quickly. "
As soon as the voice fell, someone raised his hand.
"What about our luggage?"
"It will be delivered directly to your residence in a while, is there any more?" Tang Weijie asked.
Seeing that no one answered, he paused and continued.
"Very good, if you have any questions, you can consult through the personal terminal. It ’s okay to ask the AI or the psychologist. Only the two guys in the entire colony are available at any time. Someone will take you to collect daily necessities in a while You take it to the living area. "
"Before that, let ’s call a name and check the list ..."
The list verification was completed soon, and Lu Fan got his ID card.
The soft graphene card is smooth to the touch and can be rolled up and worn on the hand like a future mobile phone. The name of the card is written on the front of the card, and there are words such as [Power Engineer].
Under the guidance of the instructor, Lu Fan received his daily necessities and a room key. In the room of more than thirty square meters, he saw his suitcase.
However, he hadn't had time to pack his luggage, sitting by the window and thinking about life on the earth for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Lu Fan? Power engineer?" The middle-aged man in a colonial uniform looked up and down at Lu Fan, and asked with a questioning tone.
"Yes." Lu Fan nodded politely and asked, "Is there any problem?"
With a positive answer, the middle-aged man immediately grinned and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Haha, you can count it! Under my introduction, my name is He Biao."
"The colony is preparing to change the line. In order to avoid troubles, the manpower of our electric power department is particularly tense. Some time ago, we just applied to the headquarters to send an electric power project. Alright, go somewhere with me. "
"Wait, change the line? Why did you suddenly change the line?" Lu Fan puzzled.
In his impression, this colony should be established less than half a year.
“The colony intends to build two new mines, and the solar power station ’s power generation cannot support it. Just a while ago, the headquarters ordered that we can put that equipment into use. The colony will never run out of power again, but the relative By the end of this month, it is estimated that we have no holidays. "
When he said this, He Biao didn't complain at all.
Life on the moon is boring, and it ’s more leisurely to work than to work. To resolve loneliness, you can only talk to a psychologist, or take the beautiful robot of the future heavy industry to vent your desire. After hearing that the power shortage problem is resolved, the colony can begin to build some entertainment facilities, but it is no wonder that he will be so enthusiastic.
Although the newcomer Lu Fan does not understand his mood very well, he is attracted by a word in his words.
"Equipment? What equipment?" Lu Fan asked stunnedly.
Never run out of power again? Before coming, he had studied the power consumption of the moon colony. The daily electricity consumption of 500 people is even higher than that of a 10,000-person town on earth. Although the light on the moon's surface is strong, a day and night is nearly four weeks on earth. For this reason, Xinghuan Trading had to invest in the construction of a large number of solar power panels, as well as electricity storage equipment. The electricity alone will eat up nearly S $ 50 million in SingHuan trade each month.
When hearing Lu Fan ask about this, He Biao smiled and looked at him with pride.
"Do you know what our moon soil collection center produces?"
"Rare Earth?" Lu Fan wondered.
"Although it is also produced, it is wrong!" He Biao smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice. "We produce helium 3, and we have produced ton of unknown quantity!"
Lu Fan froze for a moment, and the expression on his face instantly turned into a strong disbelief and shock.
Helium 3!
Controllable nuclear fusion? !
And can it be used to generate electricity? ! (To be continued.)
