Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 245: Fully automatic universal factory

After reviewing these materials, Zhang Yuan's breathing gradually became more serious. He discovered that the so-called "automatic universal factory" was actually a super large 3D printer!

The function of this 3D printer is extremely powerful. It combines multiple key technologies such as biology, information, and machinery, and can print tens of millions of parts!

Tens of millions!

Moreover, the precision and output of these printed parts are extremely high, and Zhang Yuan's marked parameters are stunned.

It is incredible that there are such powerful machines in the world!

It can even be said that the power of a machine is worth the cutting-edge productivity of all human beings at present, and it even exceeds a lot!

Seeing his doubts, the leader of Gliese explained: "Please don't doubt, this is the pinnacle of the second-level civilization of the universe, or even the technological product of the third-level civilization!"

"amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;According to our observations, although you don’t know what technological level your mother civilization has reached, but Ning’s current industrial capabilities and technical means , It is also limited to the category of first-class civilization..."

Zhang Yuan's heart beat hard, this leader of the Gliese civilization may have deliberately revealed to humans a small amount of common sense of cosmological sociology.

The game between the two sides has begun!

But he must not be so stupid to ask these common sense, otherwise the other party will think that this cosmic information is worth trading, maybe the lion will open his mouth...

He pretended to be very calm and said: "As for the description of these materials, this factory is indeed very powerful, and even uses some biological methods."

"However, the current text description is not detailed enough. This transaction is of great importance. I hope to be able to visit this universal factory in person. I wonder if it is convenient?"

The other party hesitated for a while, then nodded and replied: "This is no problem, if you don't feel tired..."

The negotiation for this transaction lasted for a short period of time, so that Zhang Yuan could not even sleep in time, so he visited the so-called "automatic universal factory" with great interest!

This behemoth is even bigger than an aircraft carrier, with a length of about 300 meters, a width of 120 meters, and a mass of 160,000 tons. It is placed in the underground core of GoerTek. There are a large number of robots and staff. Busy here.

There are also a large number of supporting factories, nuclear power plants, etc. nearby.

In other words, basically all living materials in Goertek are produced in this industrial zone.

"It looks like it's not...fake."

Zhang Yuan exhaled heavily.

The key point is that this machine is not entirely a metal device. Instead, it uses a lot of biotechnology, using some organic matter and protein as its component parts. The advantage of this is that the sensor system is very powerful, and has a certain self-repairing ability, which can work for a long time and stably.

"This is a science and technology tree that mankind has never had." He was half surprised and doubtful. He only wanted to negotiate peacefully. He didn't even think about signing such a big order...

Furthermore, it was strange that the other party wanted to sell this powerful machine.

"Oh, Lord Gan Yaduo... With all due respect, is this your deal with the second interstellar civilization?"

"Yes, it is true."

"Then I want to know, how should you maintain such a complex system?"

Zhang Yuan meant that such a huge machine could not need maintenance for 50,000 years.

And how can the technology of Gliese civilization maintain this thing?

Gan Yaduo said: "You don't need to worry about this problem. The core of the universal factory is a biological computer, which has a certain degree of self-repair ability. If it is not destroyed by violence, it hardly needs maintenance. It will not be replaced for 50,000 or 100,000 years. Next."

"As for the remaining mechanical parts, all we need to do is to follow the instructions of its artificial intelligence and replace them regularly."

"Artificial Intelligence?"

"It is only a weak artificial intelligence, it can automatically detect the location that needs to be maintained."

Zhang Yuan estimated for a while, hesitated in his heart: "However, just with such a factory, it may not be enough...even if it adopts another technology thread."

This matter is really important, and you can't be too careful.

And he is still assessing whether this transaction contains traps...

For example, after occupying most of human productivity, the opponent suddenly fought over; another example is that human beings worked so hard to build a spaceship, and the opponent regretted it. What should I do?

After some consideration, Zhang Yuan said: "It’s not that this factory is not good, but your spacecraft requires a population of 2 million to 2.5 million people...it takes us a long, long time. And a spacecraft. It contains huge technological content, and many technologies can be analyzed..."

"You are wrong." Gan Yaduo defended: "The Universal Factory not only represents huge productivity, it also has a large amount of technology reserves in its database. This is the technology reserve of the pinnacle second-level civilization, I think , Relying on this information alone is enough to change a stellar-level spacecraft."

"It depends on what these technological reserves are..."

Zhang Yuan was not simply confused, and replied: "If the technologies in the database are what we already have, then the value of these technologies will be greatly reduced. And you know, for many technologies, There is no way to be compatible with each other... Even the different standards of screws will cause huge differences. At most, they can only be used for reference, not directly used."

"The industrial standards of our human civilization have basically taken shape, and it is impossible to easily change because of a universal factory...So the value of the scientific and technological data in it is still to be discussed."

Of course, Zhang Yuan is just talking nonsense. He really wants to know the so-called pinnacle of secondary civilization, what level it is, and what kind of technology it has. As for many industrial standards, there is indeed no way to be compatible, but some scientific and technological ideas are of great significance even if they are only used for reference.

In the next meeting, Zhang Yuan will investigate the capabilities of the so-called "universal factory" while sending relevant information to Earth Age for reporting.

After some investigation, he believes that the probability of a trap is very low. The other party has exposed his core technology, and there may indeed be some problems and want to ask humans for help.

This universal factory is too powerful and convenient. As long as you import some raw materials, you can produce a large number of parts. This kind of unthinkable automation process made Zhang Yuan very jealous.

To give a simple example, if 6000 centrifuges are produced by a new civilization, it may take half a year. Corresponding production lines need to be set up and various manpower and material resources need to be invested; while using this universal factory, there is no A new production line is needed. As long as the specific program is set in the computer, and then the raw materials are put in, the production of various parts may only take three months!

Although there are corresponding 3D printing technologies on the earth~IndoMTL.com~, there is no way to compare with them in terms of productivity and accuracy.

He even wanted to close the deal a little bit.

"The value of a universal factory is difficult to compare with a constant star spacecraft, so why not study it and assemble another universal factory?"

Even ten, one hundred, one thousand?

Even though the entire reverse engineering may be very difficult, Zhang Yuan still has certain confidence in his own engineers.

Moreover, it also includes biological machinery that is rarely involved by humans.

Of course, the difficulty must be quite large, and all kinds of messy biotechnology are not so easy to crack, otherwise these pangolins would not be able to think of this.

"That is, the so-called core, is the production of biomachines more difficult? In other words, there is no universal factory generation method in the database."

"Or, are these pangolins lazy and too lazy to crack?"
