Chapter 824 Amphibious Mothership Completed

"Professor Gao!"

In the video, Professor Gao raised his hand to say hello: "Hello boss, I haven't chatted with you for a long time!"

"If the professor wants to chat with me, he can do so at any time. Today, I have a technical problem and I want to consult the professor!"

Professor Gao raised his hand and said, "Boss, please speak!"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "Just now I had a chat with the person in charge of the lunar base, and I asked him that if he wants to refine all the helium on the moon within ten years, with the current technical conditions and mechanical equipment, it needs to be produced on the moon. How many people to send, he told me that at least 3000 people are needed to collect and refine all the lunar soil within ten years, and the number of existing equipment must be increased by more than sixty times. I calculated Not to mention the cost of machinery and equipment, the investment in human resources alone is very high, mainly because the employees who go to the moon to work are all expatriate employees, and their salaries are several times that of the current employees, and in recent decades the moon has refined None of the helium-III and mineral resources can be put into commercial use for profit, and can only be stored for future use, so now all our projects on the moon are all at a loss, at least within 20 years!"

"So I want to ask the professor, can we update the equipment, improve the efficiency of lunar soil collection and lunar mining equipment, adopt artificial intelligence systems on a large scale, and minimize the use of manpower!"

Professor Gao thought for a while and said: "At present, I am thinking about a plant called mobile extraction, separation and smelting system engineering, also known as a mobile smelting plant. As the name suggests, it is a mobile plant, but because it is mobile, its volume is not large. It will be big, but high tech!"

"Let me make a metaphor. It is like a harvester for harvesting rice. It is mobile and provides one-stop service from harvesting to threshing and bagging. When the harvester walks over, the rice in the field has been harvested. When the grain comes out, it is already Bagged, it’s that simple, you don’t need to harvest the millet and straw and bring it home for threshing, but it can be done directly in the field!”

Tang Xiaochuan's eyes lit up: "The professor means that as long as this mobile smelting project is developed and produced, there will be no need to send excavators to dig up the lunar soil and ore and load them into trucks to transport them back to the smelting plant. Excavated, refined and smelted, it is already a finished product when it comes out?"

Professor Gao nodded: "That's what it means!"

Tang Xiaochuan hurriedly asked: "How long will it take for this mobile smelting plant to be developed?"

"This is a system engineering, which involves many fields. If you want to research a fully mature technology, I don't think it can be done in a short time. Within two to three years, I think it should be possible to develop a primary technology." Version, the production efficiency of the supporting equipment of a mobile smelting plant is 2-3 times that of the existing mechanical equipment of the same unit, and it is impossible to increase the efficiency to ten times or even dozens of times at the present stage !"

"It's not bad to be able to increase the production efficiency by 2-3 times. This can save a lot of labor costs. Then I will leave this matter to Professor Gao. I hope you and your team can come up with the finished product in the shortest time!"

Professor Gao promised: "In about two years, I believe that finished products will be developed and produced!"

In order to keep it secret, Tang Xiaochuan separated aerospace flight, space exploration engineering and Feitian Technology Group from Feitian Technology Group a year ago. Currently, Feitian Technology Group's aerospace field is limited to launching rockets and satellites, manned spacecraft development, and space technology. The layout and construction of the central sky station, the exploration and development of the moon, and the exploration of extraterrestrial planets and outer space are all separated out, and all are in charge of the space center. There are less than five people in Feitian Technology who know about this matter.

Tang Xiaochuan received a call from Cui Yuzhou, the chief engineer of the amphibious carrier when he was inspecting the construction of the space station.

The so-called outfitting is the process of installing various instruments and equipment inside the hull after the structure of the ship's main body and cabins has been completed.

The construction of the space center sky station is of course very important, and the construction of this amphibious carrier is also very important. Tang Xiaochuan rushed to the shipyard soon after receiving Cui Yuzhou's call.

When seeing this amphibious mothership, Tang Xiaochuan found that the workers were spraying paint on the outer wall of the ship for anti-rust treatment. In the dry dock, there were many managers, engineers and workers gathered on one side, four of which were wrapped in lead shells. nuclear reactor next to it.

"The boss is here!" I don't know who shouted.

Everyone looked back one after another, and when they saw Tang Xiaochuan approaching, they gave way one after another, and Cui Yuzhou came up to meet him: "Boss, the four reactors have been delivered, and they are about to be hoisted onto the ship with a gantry crane!"

Tang Xiaochuan looked at the four nuclear reactors, all of which were packed in lead shells, nodded and said, "Safety comes first!"

"Understood!" Cui Yuzhou agreed, and immediately commanded: "Check the steel cables and hooks of the gantry crane, the lead casing of the reactor, and the hook holes again. There must be no omissions. If you find any problems, report them immediately!"

Some staff immediately began to check again, and after 5 minutes, all the checks were completed, and Cui Yuzhou immediately ordered the gantry crane to lift the nuclear reactor.

Under the operation of four workers, four hooks were hung in the hook holes of the lead shell of a reactor, and each of them made an "OK" gesture, and the gantry crane operator operated the machine to slowly lift the reactor up and rise As for the same height as the ship deck, then slowly move to the ship deck.

"Raise, raise another [-] centimeters!" The workers on the deck saw that the height of the reactor was not enough, and quickly gestured.

Although they are all technical experts, no one dares to be careless at this time. Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the reactors were hoisted onto the deck of the ship one by one and then lowered gently. There was a trailer on the deck to catch them. They were placed on a trailer, and the driver drove the trailer towards the landing port of the fighter plane, and transported them one by one to the reactor compartment, where engineers and workers had long been waiting.

The installation of the reactors was not very easy, and many issues needed to be considered. It took four days for engineers and workers to install all four reactors.

"Is the reactor's nuclear energy-to-electricity equipment normal? Is it connected to the power circuit system?" Tang Xiaochuan asked.

After checking it, an engineer said loudly: "The nuclear power conversion equipment is normal, and it has been connected to the power system!"

Tang Xiaochuan turned to look at Cui Yuzhou: "Chief Cui, try to see if the power generation function of the reactor can work normally?"

"Then try it?" Cui Yuzhou asked back.

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Try it, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws!"

Cui Yuzhou walked to the console of a nuclear reactor, reached out and held the handle and pushed it upwards forcefully: "Reactor No. [-] is turned on manually!"

The engineer staring at the screen looked at it and shouted loudly: "Reactor No. [-] has been successfully turned on!"

Afterwards, Cui Yuzhou pushed up the on-off control valves of the other three reactors one by one, and all of them were turned on successfully. Of course, electronic control can also be carried out, but that is a later matter. Now it is necessary to see whether the reactors can work normally and release energy. .

Seeing that the four reactors were working normally, Cui Yuzhou immediately ordered: "Connect the power conversion system!"

The engineer in charge of the system pushed up the switch blade, saw the green light on the power conversion system equipment light up, and responded loudly: "The power conversion system is connected successfully. Are you sending power to the whole ship?"

"delivery!"

"Received... Send power to the entire ship!"

At this time, all the lights on the ship were turned on, and thousands of workers, engineers, and scientists suddenly cheered, throwing their hats high one by one.

"Success, success..." People rushed to tell each other, and many people hugged each other. This is our amphibious mother ship, the world's first rapid response all-weather combat amphibious mother ship!
