Chapter 544: Enough Productivity
What is the biggest advantage of the smart era?
It is to allow the growth of productivity and industrial scale to completely break away from the constraints of manpower limits.
It is a great liberation of productivity.
The development of other extraterrestrial planets, satellite resources, and the establishment of extraterrestrial industrial clusters,
It will enter a higher degree of unmanned operation and even complete intelligence.
In the most ideal situation, Mo Dao should issue an order to develop a certain satellite.
Then, Suigu Intelligence will coordinate the resources developed by the currently developed resource stars.
Transport basic resources back to the moon or other industrial stars through interstellar spacecraft,
Complete the entire process of a new interstellar spacecraft, as well as extraterrestrial development, exploration, R&D base manufacturing and construction.
Finally, the new interstellar spacecraft carried the built extraterrestrial base to the designated satellite,
After that, we will continue to expand the permanent base in a similar way according to the initial permanent base.
And, according to the existing information or specific orders, notify the researchers who will be transferred to the permanent base, and arrange for the relevant researchers to go to the interstellar spacecraft of the base,
Complete the settling of personnel into the satellite base,
This will complete the preliminary exploration of the satellite and summarize the satellite-related information to facilitate decision-making and research by Mo Dao or core researchers in other related fields at Qiusuo Research Institute.
Even if it is currently limited by some links and cannot be fully connected to Suigu Intelligence, it cannot achieve this unmanned level.
But there are already many things that can be done.
Not just in terms of expanding the Quest Institute or human civilization’s control over extraterrestrial space,
On a more macro scale, expanding the industrial scale, in the intelligent era after the birth of Suigu Intelligence,
Expanding the industrial scale can also be completed independently by Suigu Intelligent after accepting orders.
It can be said that, in fact, it has entered a snowballing state.
As long as resources and energy can support it, the industrial scale and industrial productivity of human civilization will grow faster as time goes by.
And let this intelligent era develop for a while. In the intelligent era,
In fact, it can basically meet the productivity needs of building a long-distance voyage spaceship.
However, productivity is satisfied, but technology is not.
…
"Suigu, based on the current productivity base and technology, is there any plan to reach Proxima Centauri?"
A core researcher at the Qiusuo Research Institute occasionally mentioned this issue to Suigu Intelligence,
In the development of Qiusuo Research Institute to this day, long voyage is not only the goal that Mo Dao wants to achieve, but also the common expectation of Qiusuo Research Institute.
"Hello core researcher, based on the existing productivity and technology base, as well as expectations for the future, build a very large, mobile, human survival base."
"Carry enough energy fuel, propellant, and production resources to allow humans on the mobile survival base to reproduce."
"Using human hibernation technology, we can strictly follow the plan on the mobile survival base to reproduce to the fifth generation and reach Proxima Centauri."
"Do you need me to explain a more detailed plan to you?"
Suigu's plan was to build a large enough interstellar spacecraft, or a small planetary fortress.
Then load enough resources, enough people, and then spend a long time to spend the long space distance between the earth and Proxima Centauri.
In order to solve the current problem of working fluid demand and energy supplement during long voyages.
However, this plan obviously has marginal effects.
Just like the rockets used for extraterrestrial exploration before the popularity of electric propulsion spacecraft,
If you want to store more working fluids and energy materials, you need a larger spacecraft space.
A larger spacecraft space requires more working fluids and energy materials to maintain and operate.
If this is repeated, and we must consider how many people are on board the spaceship, we can maintain and reproduce the human race on the spaceship until the fifth generation.
The size of the interstellar spacecraft that needs to be built in the end must be beyond what many people realize.
This does not take into account the maintenance problems of such a huge system, running for such a long time, and a bunch of other problems.
"...Suigu, if it is necessary to build such a mobile survival base as you mentioned, how long do you think it will take?"
Faced with this core researcher’s questioning,
Suigu seemed to have been calculating for a period of time before giving an inaccurate answer.
"According to current productivity development estimates, it may take fifty years of construction to complete the construction of this mobile human survival base."
The core researcher shook his head,
In fact, this is not the voyage that Qiusuo Research Institute and Mo Institute want to achieve.
The core researcher asked one more question,
"If we reach Proxima Centauri within a generation, what do you think is the possibility?"
"It may be necessary for Qiusuo Research Institute and Chief Engineer Mo to achieve another major breakthrough in related technologies."
After all, it is a man-made thing, so some things about Suigu Intelligence are inevitably affected to a great extent by human society at the moment.
"Do I need to list some more solutions for you that may be extremely low-cost?"
"No."
Mo Dao would not ask Sui Gu this kind of question, because he can be said to have the clearest understanding of the technological limits of this era.
But it is inevitable that other researchers with different permissions will ask Suigu this question.
However, this is just an episode.
However, to some extent, it also reflects some of the problems that the Qiusuo Research Institute needs to face in order to achieve long-distance voyages in the intelligent era.
…
60 years,
Mo Dao’s countdown time is about 51 years left.
This year, after the Suigu Project was officially declared completed,
humanity officially declared entering the intelligent era.
Amid people’s expectations, longings, and some tensions about the unknown future,
the productivity of human society has officially entered the explosive growth stage of the intelligent era.
After Suigu Intelligence, which was born in the Suigu Project, officially began to intervene in the production activities and operation mechanisms of human society on a large scale,
received the first instruction, which is also a larger plan,
that is, on the ground, the moon, and the permanent bases on three terrestrial planets, and even the permanent bases farther away from the earth,
continue to increase and popularize the construction of basic computing units, and at the same time expand the manufacturing scale of basic computing units in the industrial cluster from the ground to the moon,
to meet the basic computing power needs that are destined to continue to expand in the intelligent era.
The second step is to comprehensively expand the scale of the intelligent production industry.
From the ground to the moon, and even to the near-Earth space platform and the near-moon space platform,
every day, we can see that in the planned area, new intelligent industrial equipment is produced in other intelligent industrial clusters, put in place under the coordination of Suigu, and put into a new round of expansion production.
Every month, we can see that the industrial clusters and overall industrial scale of human civilization seem to have expanded.
Productivity has also skyrocketed.
At the same time,
the "rice worm clause" of this life is also being gradually implemented.
This is also a transitional measure in this life,
aiming to allow the entire human society to transition more smoothly from the division of labor in the previous era to the division of labor in the intelligent era.
And the Qiusuo Research Institute will also usher in a new stage of rapid expansion.
In the future, when a large number of people will always be in the research field,
even if most of them may not meet the requirements of the Qiusuo Research Institute,
but under a larger base, the number of researchers who can pass the requirements of the Qiusuo Research Institute and enter the Qiusuo Research Institute will still increase a lot.
