Chapter 268 Space Factory
And now the surroundings of this space city that has been built are no longer what they looked like more than ten years ago. Except for a space station, the rest of the surroundings of this space city were empty and looked very It is desolate, but it is different now. Now there are not only space solar power plants that can't be seen at a glance, but also various space factories of different sizes around the space city. Although most of these factories are space smelting factories, Moreover, most of these factories do not have deep processing capabilities. After all, the technical content required for deep processing and primary processing is different. Carry out preliminary processing.

However, among so many smelting factories, it is not that there are factories with deep processing capabilities, but compared with the generally large-scale preliminary smelting factories, these space deep processing smelting factories are much smaller in scale, and the number is not as large as the initial smelting factories. There are a large number of factories, and the proportion of stations in the entire space factory is only about 1/10. This is because the initial space smelting factory has started construction ten years ago, so it will only have such a large scale now.

However, space deep processing factories are different. Due to different technical difficulties, deep processing factories have only made technological breakthroughs in recent years. Due to time constraints, the number of deep processing factories is much less than that of preliminary processing factories. , but it is enough for human beings at present.

Although the Ming Empire has worked hard to build various space smelting factories over the past decade or so, the total number of human factories in space is absolutely incomparable to the number of human smelting factories on earth.

You must know how many smelting factories there have been on the entire earth from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution until now, and the technology of many smelting factories is also very high. Moreover, when the Western aliens immigrated to Pangu, although there were a large number of high-tech enterprises They have all moved there, especially those with smelting companies that they consider to be highly technological. However, due to time constraints and fear of discovery by the Ming Empire, they still have a considerable number of various companies left on the earth, among which the smelting plants account for A large part of the proportion. After all, as a heavy industry enterprise, there are a lot of mechanical equipment that cannot be relocated in a short time, and due to the large size of these equipment, it is very easy for the Ming Empire to detect if they want to relocate, and most of these factories The technology has fallen behind. Although these factories can still operate normally, there is nothing in terms of profit that is worth their effort to relocate these factories to Pangu.

So most of these factories were inherited by the Ming Empire before, so even if most of the western alien races have moved to Pangu, most of their factories on the earth have been preserved, so human beings in space The sum of all the smelting factories in China is not one ten-thousandth of the factories on the ground.

The combined output of all the space smelting factories is one-thousandth of the size of the earth. After all, due to the different technological content of the environment, a factory of the same size, the factory in space has the least output compared with the factory on the earth. The increase is more than ten times. After all, although human beings have entered the space age, most of the various factories on the earth still rely on human beings to complete various tasks. Although most of these factories have been intelligently modified, this It still cannot be compared with the space factory.

Now the various factories of the Ming Empire in space are all unmanned factories that don’t even have technical functions. The technical difficulty in space is much higher than that on earth. Of course, in some aspects, the same thing is much easier in space.

For example, during the smelting process, some ores with relatively large volumes and high weights are encountered. On the earth, these ores must be turned into powder to continue smelting, but it is different in space. There are large solar panels around, which provide a steady stream of energy for these space smelting factories, and due to the development of smelting technology, it is no longer necessary to turn ore into powder and continue smelting when performing exercises in space.

Although this technology can also be implemented on the ground, due to the influence of the earth's gravity, these large pieces of ore are generally very heavy, so it generally takes a lot of effort and time to move these large pieces of ore.

But it is different in the space factory. Because the space smelting factory is in space, there is no influence of gravity and resistance here, and these large ores can be moved with a little force. Therefore, if these large ores are not larger than On a certain scale, it is generally directly smelted in space without being crushed.

Therefore, the output of these space smelting factories will be so much higher than that on the ground, and because these space smelting factories are all intelligent, the overall structure of these space factories is very compact, and some space factories cannot even enter. , not to mention human beings operating it in person.

Although these space factories are very compact, and some workers can’t even get in, these factories still have some maintenance channels. Of course, these maintenance channels are also very small. It is impossible for humans to go in and maintain these factories. Yes, so these maintenance channels are reserved for intelligent machines.

After all, in a harsh environment like space, if humans are used to repair things in the factory, let alone the speed and efficiency of repairs, even the environment in space can deter many maintenance personnel. After all, space is not On the ground, you may encounter various dangers at any time, and the maintenance work is no better than others. Although various staff working in space now usually wear exoskeleton armor, their resistance to various dangers is compared to Zhu Lei, the spacesuits worn by astronauts are much stronger, but if the factory needs to be repaired, casualties will still occur, just like when mankind's first space city was built, there were many casualties. In some cases, some were even killed by meteorites flying over while working. Moreover, from the construction of the space city to the present, more than a thousand people have lost their lives in various dangers in space, so Now, for the construction of various factories in space, as well as the maintenance of various power stations and space factories, the entire Ming Empire will only use human beings to carry out construction and maintenance when there is really no other way. When it is generally not necessary, all It relies on intelligence and remote control to complete various maintenance and construction work.
