Chapter 90 Experimental Machine

After taking care of the perfect matter, Yu Yifeng returned to his job and began his daily busy life.

Time passed quickly, and in the second month, a big thing happened: the first batch of experimental super machines were finally manufactured!

After the super machine was released, a group of experts immediately gathered around and started another emergency transformation.

Its height and width are several times larger than an ordinary excavator, with a height of at least 13 meters and a mass of 1,300 tons. It looks like a moving steel fortress!

Of course, the low gravity of Mars also played a role in fueling the fire. The gravity of the same mass is only one-third that of the Earth. This means that there is a lot less attention to materials. Its chassis is similar to a tank's tracks, and there is a huge robotic arm above it. , capable of wielding thousands of tons of powerful force.

What a ferocious nuclear-powered monster, Yu Yifeng couldn't help but sigh. If a super excavator were to collide with the strongest tank on earth, it would be able to crush the tank into a meat pie just by relying on its own size and weight!

With the control of the operator, the first batch of unmanned excavators drove to the uranium mining area, and then the computer automatically took over.

Their top speed is only 30 kilometers per hour. They don't run very fast, but their digging speed is not slow.

Yu Yifeng looked at the screen and nodded: "This unmanned driving system is not bad, and the excavation speed is also good. The best thing is that it can work for a long time. Even if there is an accident, there will be no casualties. How many machines like this have there? Taiwan? Can we mass produce it?”

An expert next to him shook his head and said: "Currently there are only 4 experimental models... Captain, when the Kinov Industrial Base is up in a few days, mass production will be no problem. The only problem is unmanned driving. ”

"Oh? What happened to the driverless car?" Yu Yifeng asked.

"The northern hemisphere of Mars does not have a magnetic field and is easily affected by cosmic radiation. Satellite signals are also severely interfered with. It's not a problem for a short time, but I'm afraid of any accidents over time. Most unmanned driving systems rely on satellite navigation..."

"To solve this problem, either launch more satellites and establish a complete satellite navigation system. Or build more signal stations on the surface. According to calculations, it is enough to build a dozen signal base stations in relatively high areas. . I think the surface base station solution is better, saving time and effort..."

Yu Yifeng nodded. Since the experts have specific plans, they must follow what they said. "Please leave these matters to your own devices." He replied casually. It has always been his philosophy to employ people without questioning them and to use them without suspicion.

In fact, the unmanned driving systems on earth are already relatively mature. For example: unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned submarines, etc. in the military. Relatively speaking, in places with complex but dangerous environments, it is more convenient and safer to use unmanned equipment.

After so many years of development on the earth, GPS navigation and Beidou navigation are densely covered in every corner, and the accuracy can reach centimeter level. Therefore, driverless driving is particularly easy to use.

But Mars is different. There are only two polar satellites in total, and they are dedicated satellites for geological exploration. They are a bit inadequate for navigation. If you want precise positioning, you need at least 4 satellites.

Therefore, it is also necessary to establish a ground signal station. The signal does not need to cover the whole world, it only needs to cover a mining area.

The distance between each of the four excavators is more than 300 meters. This is to prevent system errors and accidental collisions. The distance of 300 meters is enough. At the beginning, there will inevitably be imperfections in the driving system, and sufficient distance needs to be left to facilitate monitoring personnel to take over manually.

"They can work continuously for a week and then maintain for ten hours. If everything goes well, they can excavate 100,000 tons of mineral soil every day." An expert said.

Yu Yifeng nodded and looked at the screen intently. Those machines were wielding huge steel shovels, and the stones in the mine were being crushed and dug up continuously. It can really be said to be explosive mining...

He was very satisfied when he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, there is no problem with safety, right? There shouldn't be any problems like nuclear explosions?"

"Of course not!" The speaker was Professor Ding Yidong who came to visit. His voice immediately raised an octave because the excavator's nuclear-powered engine was designed by their Wild Wolf Design Bureau.

"You don't have to worry about safety issues. Our nuclear fuel is low-concentration uranium and will never reach the critical point of explosion. Even if the engine breaks down, there is only a very low possibility of leakage." Ding Yidong did not finish his words. , just using the word "extremely low, extremely low".

"We only add about seven days of nuclear fuel at a time, and we refill it every time for maintenance. Even if it leaks, it won't be much. This is Mars, and there is no need to consider environmental pollution. So there is no problem with safety!"

"Okay..." Although Ding Yidong choked, Yu Yifeng didn't say much. He is very tolerant and respectful of capable big science.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, the four test models were successfully operated. No accidents occurred during the period, and all values ​​were in line with expectations. At this rate, it is more than enough to mine 100,000 tons of uranium ore in a day.

"For some reason, the soil of these uranium mines is particularly loose. It may be due to the influence of geology...Other mines are not so easy to dig." An expert said.

However, the test is not over yet. The four excavators must complete a cycle of work for at least 7 days. After all the results are in line with expectations, mass production can be officially launched...

Since the new excavator went into the ground, many laboratories seemed to be stimulated and accelerated their research speed. Experimental tests of super trains and cutting robots have also begun one after another.

People are getting more and more used to this busy and fulfilling life. These are all good reports.

The most important thing is that the first phase of the Kinov Industrial Plant is finally going to be completed, which is what Yu Yifeng is most looking forward to! As long as the first phase of this super factory is completed, people's industrial capacity will be greatly increased, and a large number of heavy industrial machinery will be able to be mass-produced.

In these few months, the smelters have also smelted a large amount of metal resources. Steel, copper, aluminum, and titanium are piled up in rows in the warehouse like mountains, ready to be used at any time. These resources provide favorable conditions for large-scale manufacturing.

Yu Yifeng is really very happy.

One by one, the industrial reports are basically in line with expectations or even exceed expectations!

These great scientists and engineers were so worried and headache at the beginning. But after a period of time, it seems that it is not so difficult... Humans are really a race that can create miracles. So many technical difficulties have been overcome in just a few months. This cannot be said to be luck, but a kind of strength!

One by one, they spoke more confidently, their voices became louder, their passion was still full, and they devoted themselves to their work more frantically...

Yu Yifeng was very satisfied with the current situation of Noah. He just read the report briefly and basically got the data he wanted. "Exceeded expectations! Exceeded expectations! Met expectations!"

But among the pile of reports, there was a scientific report that listed something that interested Yu Yifeng, that is, the research report on the Martian virus!

The gene sequencing results of some pathogenic viruses have come out. These viruses are basically similar to the structure of Earth viruses, and their genetic material is also composed of DNA and RNA.

However, they are slightly more complex than viruses. They can generally absorb nuclear energy, synthesize proteins, and survive independently, but they are simpler than bacteria. They should be a kind of organism between viruses and bacteria.

This report points out that the origin of life on Earth may come from meteorites! Because people have found fragments of DNA in meteorites, life may have developed from extraterrestrial meteorites!

So, does the origin of the Martian virus also come from meteorites? Because the genetic structure of the Martian virus is too similar to that of life on Earth, it can't help but make people suspicious. Did this meteorite containing DNA fragments spread throughout the universe, allowing most planets to have life?

The origin of life in the universe has become more confusing and difficult to guess...

Well, Yu Yifeng is not concerned about this, but another one: people who have been infected with the Martian virus have higher cell activity!

Their physical fitness has improved, which means that they are likely to have a longer life!

Seeing this, Yu Yifeng was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He carefully read this report back and forth, slowly chewing on the meaning, and he felt that he should have understood it correctly.

Extend life? Extend by 50%? Is it true?

After a while, he finally issued an order through the communication device in the captain's room, requiring the research team to come to the parliament, and also notified some biologists, members of the security department and some members of the parliament to be present.
