Doom Smuggler

They are guilty, and because of their guilt, they feel guilty.

Chen Yang didn't notice the psychological problems of these programmers.

Of course, even if he noticed, he wouldn't intervene.

Being able to make these programmers feel guilty is only good for him, not bad.

A strong sense of guilt will make these programmers strive for perfection in the process of work, and can almost completely eliminate the phenomenon of dropping out of work and fishing.

He quickly found Wei Tongfang who was busy, and Chen Yang called Wei Tongfang, Du Wei and two other hardware experts into the meeting room.

Then he briefly talked about his desire to build an 'outdated' chip production line.

Neither Wei Tongfang nor the two hardware experts had any unexpected emotions because of this.

The longer and longer time with their leader has made them accustomed to their leader's unique preference for 'antique' products.

Although Du Wei joined the base for a relatively short time, he has been familiar with Wei Tongfang and others, and it is not difficult to accept Chen Yang's ideas.

So after listening to their leader's narration, the two hardware experts thought for a while, and one of them said: "Boss, you mean the chips used in the mobile phones you provided us before?"

"Yes, the performance can be stronger, but there should be no generation gap. Didn't you make the chips in the prototype you made before? Just follow that standard."

Chen Yang nodded.

"That's it... the chip of that prototype machine was actually made by us by hand. After all, it is a very primitive structure, even if it is handmade, there is no problem. But there is no way to do it in large quantities by hand. If the boss wants to To manufacture such chips in batches, we still have to build a fully automatic production line after all.”

The hardware expert rubbed his chin and said.

"That's right, that's why I called you here. Is there a way to build a production line like this? It's not here, um... I need to take the production line elsewhere."

Chen Yang said very vaguely.

"If you want to build a production line for the core cores required by the brain, we definitely can't do it. That kind of high-tech production line must have a complete fully automatic factory to produce and assemble it. But it's just One...well...boss, I don't mean to offend, but I really don't know how to describe it..."

The hardware expert showed an awkward smile towards Chen Yang, and continued cautiously: "It's just a chip production line that is roughly equivalent to the primitive society 200 years ago. In fact, as long as there are enough accessories and an engineering robot, it will definitely be possible. made."

"Primitive...society?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and repeated.

"That's right, boss. An era where anti-gravity technology has not yet been developed, an era where there is no ability to build a real virtual world, is it no different from primitive society?"

The hardware expert shrugged.

"Although I don't quite understand it, it seems to make sense. Well, it's not important. What's important is that the production line can indeed be built, right? In that case, give me a plan, how long will it take to get the production line out."

Chen Yang said.

"I can fix the engineering robot, but just like the production line, I need a lot of spare parts. As for the program embedded in the robot, it will be fine for Minister Wei to bring people to do it. That is to say, the main problem now is that Where are we going to find those spare parts, right?"

Du Wei, who had been keeping a quiet and listening attitude, spoke.

"Spare parts? If I remember correctly, before the catastrophe broke out in Hangcheng, there was an industrial park with a large area. It even had a complete curvature engine production line, so... if you go to that industrial park to find it, you will definitely be able to Find the right spare parts?"

Li Lu interrupted.

"It depends on the degree of damage to the industrial park during the outbreak of the catastrophe. As far as I know, at the moment the catastrophe broke out, all the relatively critical places and high-tech concentration points on the entire planet were all destroyed. target."

Wei Tongfang curled his lips and spoke.

"It should be possible. After all, it is just to build an antique production line. The spare parts needed are probably at the level of leftover materials. In Nuo Da's industrial park, I think the probability of finding enough parts is not small."

While Li Lu was speaking, she turned her head to look at Chen Yang.

The meaning is obvious, it needs Chen Yang to make up his mind.

Only when Chen Yang agrees, they will formulate a detailed action plan around this idea.

"It's really relying on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. I have no objection to this, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to. That is, in the selection of materials, it is best to conform to the so-called 'primitive era'. Like the prototype, The assembly of the production line also cannot have hardware materials that exceed the 'age category'."

Chen Yang exhorted.

"You can rest assured that, except for the high-hardness composite materials used in interstellar spacecraft, the application of materials science in ordinary basic industrial production lines is actually not too different from the barbaric era of industry. Of course, We will pay extra attention to this, as long as the spare parts can be found, the rest is absolutely not a problem."

The hardware expert said confidently.

"Very well, let's do this first, Xiaolu, let's go back and make an action plan tomorrow."

Chapter 444 The Limit of Technology

After receiving an affirmative answer from the information technology department, Chen Yang took Li Lu's hand and returned to the villa very satisfied.

Although in his own world, he opened a hotel room near the airport, but Chen Yang did not buy a ticket back to the capital for the time being.

This time it was like going out alone, and he planned to stay for a few more days, otherwise, he would be a passing visitor in the wasteland every time, which would be somewhat disrespectful to Li Lu.

So tonight, he will spend the night here in the wasteland.

Tomorrow, before checking out at noon, go back there and extend the room.

As for how many days to stay... It will be up to Li Lu to make a decision after making a detailed plan.

After washing up with Li Lu, leaning against the head of the bed side by side, looking at the endless starry sky images that have been adjusted up and down, Chen Yang exhaled contentedly.

"A question. During the meeting just now, the interstellar spaceship mentioned...is it a product before the cataclysm? Where can that thing fly the farthest? Can it fly out of the solar system?"

Holding Li Lu's shoulders, Chen Yang asked leisurely.

"Huh? Flying out of the solar system? How is it possible... Do you know how big the solar system is? Even before the catastrophe broke out, there was already a very mature anti-gravity technology, and a real curvature engine was developed. At the speed of an interstellar spacecraft, It is impossible to fly out of the solar system."

Li Lu said with a smile.

"Uh...my knowledge of astronomy is very limited, and my understanding of the solar system is actually limited to the few major planets...As for the curvature engine, I know about it, not to say...the curvature engine can achieve real superluminal flight ?"

Chen Yang scratched his head and said.

"It's not that simple. The planetary system in the solar system only occupies a very small part of the entire solar system although it is the core. Outside the planetary system, there are the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud. It is the largest component of the solar system. The solar system you mentioned and some common celestial bodies exist in the center of the Oort cloud.

If we regard the solar system as an egg, then this part is the yolk, the center is the sun, and the eight planets outward to the Kuiper belt can be regarded as the yolk, and the Kuiper belt can be regarded as the egg white, which is outside The Oort cloud is the eggshell of the solar system.

However, it must be pointed out that the thickness of this eggshell is far greater than that of the egg white and egg yolk, because the diameter of the Oort cloud reaches two light-years, and the thickness is close to light-years.In other words, the solar system actually has a diameter of two light years. If a light-speed spacecraft can really be built, there is still hope for leaving the solar system. However, in fact, this is impossible. "

While talking, Li Lu supported her body and half sat up.

After taking his portable smart brain from the bedside, he activated the smart brain, and a three-dimensional three-dimensional image appeared in front of Chen Yang's eyes.

"You see, this is the whole picture of the solar system. It is much larger than imagined. As for the curvature engine, its principle is very simple. According to the theory of relativity, mass can change the curvature of space. Therefore, the key point of the curvature engine is to create enough Massive objects, such as black holes.

If there is a black hole at a certain distance in the forward direction of the spacecraft, and the particle of the spacecraft is just at the event horizon of the black hole, and the distance between the particle of the black hole and the particle of the spacecraft is always relatively static, then the spacecraft is actually stationary in the inertial system of.

But for observers in the distance, the spacecraft is in a state of constantly falling into the horizon of the black hole, and the black hole is constantly shifting in the direction of progress relative to the falling spacecraft, which can ensure that the spacecraft is always at the horizon of the black hole.

This situation is very similar to grabbing your own hair with your hands and lifting yourself up.But in fact, we can understand that there is a road roller in the front of a car, which continuously collapses the road, and then the car rolls down by itself. "

Li Lu spoke with gestures, and through the three-dimensional image display, Chen Yang could understand what she was talking about as intuitively as possible.

Chen Yang tried his best to digest these contents, and asked with some hesitation: "So the speed of the interstellar spacecraft actually depends on the degree of distortion of the surrounding space, right? The greater the degree of distortion, the faster the interstellar spacecraft. quick?"

"That's right, it is impossible for us to create a formed artificial black hole. At least with the scientific and technological capabilities before the catastrophe, we cannot create a truly formed artificial black hole. All artificial black holes that are manufactured are limited by technical capabilities. At the moment of appearance, Basically, it will evaporate completely. They are indeed black holes, but let alone distorting space, it is difficult to absorb even the tiniest matter."

Li Lu continued to change the picture presented by the three-dimensional image, and then said: "The curvature engine can only distort the space in the forward direction of the spacecraft, and it can only be realized through more mature anti-gravity technology. We all know that the mass of a celestial body is large enough. If the formed gravitational force is strong enough, the space around the celestial body will be affected, resulting in a certain degree of distortion.

Then relying on anti-gravity technology, the curvature engine can also simulate a similar effect, but this effect cannot be compared with a real black hole whose gravity is so strong that it can even capture light.Therefore, the degree of distortion of space is quite limited, and the speed of the interstellar spacecraft is of course impossible to reach the highest value in theory.

And there is another problem, which is the material strength of the starship.Space distortion will definitely bring invisible space pulling force, the magnitude of this pulling force depends on the magnitude of space distortion.The more exaggerated the twist, the greater the pulling force. If the material strength of the spaceship cannot withstand it, it will fall apart under the influence of the pulling force!

To sum up, the sailing speed of a star spacecraft is affected by its own material and the magnitude of space distortion. Before the level of technology is improved by leaps and bounds, it is impossible to connect to near the speed of light.In fact, before the cataclysm, the fastest interstellar spacecraft developed on Earth could only reach one-thousandth of the speed of light, that is, [-] kilometers per second. "

Seeing the holographic image of an interstellar spacecraft appear in the three-dimensional image displayed by Li Lu, Chen Yang felt a little shocked in his heart.

However, thinking that with the development of science and technology to this level, an interstellar spacecraft that can only be built at one-thousandth of the speed of light, and it would still take thousands of years to fly out of the solar system with a diameter of two light-years, Chen Yang felt a little desperate .

The galaxy is vast and the universe is boundless.

Compared with this world, everything about human beings seems to be... meaningless.

Chapter 445 The Limit of Technology

"Although there is no way to fly out of the solar system, it should be possible to establish settlements on other planets in the solar system, right? For example... Mars?"

Chen Yang tried his best to drive out of his mind the feeling that his self-awareness tended to be small and that everything seemed to be insignificant, and asked a little out of words.

"Immigration points? Oh, of course this has already been established. Among them, two small settlements have been established on the moon, and each immigration community can accommodate about 5 people. A total of three large immigration communities have been established on Mars. Before the catastrophe broke out, there were only three countries on the entire earth that could emigrate to Mars."

Li Lu shrugged, and then said: "The settlement on the moon is experimental in nature. Whether it is living conditions, supplies, or even various treatment in all aspects, it is incomparable with Mars, so it belongs to the application system. As long as If you have paid enough fees and there are vacancies in the immigration point, you can go there regardless of your nationality.

However, the immigrant community on Mars can be regarded as a complete social system. Therefore, the three countries that can carry out Mars immigration have very strict control over the immigration standards. At least they must be citizens of their own countries, and there are various other detailed regulations. Require.Three large immigrant communities, accommodating a total of 260 million people living on Mars.

It's just that from the first immigration to the outbreak of the catastrophe, the time span has not exceeded 50 years, so the immigration as a whole is still in the 'initial stage'.Efforts are being made to change the surface climate and atmospheric composition of Mars, in the hope that Mars can gradually transform into a state most suitable for human habitation.

Under the premise that the current overall technological level cannot undergo substantial changes, this "primary stage" is expected to last between 150 and 200 years, and it will require the uninterrupted efforts of several generations of Mars immigrants to complete it.It's a pity... the cataclysm broke out suddenly, so this process came to an abrupt end, and it was impossible to see it again. "

Looking at the beautiful woman beside him who couldn't help sighing, Chen Yang couldn't help blinking.

Has there really been a large-scale immigration? !

In just 200 years, the level of human science and technology has developed to such a height? !

Although they are definitely two completely different worlds, they belong to different branches of development after all.

Since the wasteland world can do it, it means that his world can also do it after going through a normal technological development cycle!

And during this process, if he continues to influence secretly to greatly increase the technological height of his world, the entire cycle will be shortened dramatically.

Thinking about it carefully... I'm a little excited...

If there is no accident, he will definitely become the man who made history?

"Since there are settlements on both the moon and Mars, what will happen to the immigrants on the moon and Mars after the catastrophe erupts? Has no one returned to Earth?"

Chen Yang collected himself and asked about the extended topic.

"Regardless of the moon or Mars, there is no way to build a large dock that can maintain the interstellar spacecraft on a daily basis. Therefore, the process of the interstellar spacecraft going to the moon and Mars is more similar to some kind of short-stay flight. Only at a fixed time node. The voyage will be started to complete the delivery of corresponding personnel and materials.

In view of the consideration of comprehensive factors, this fixed time node is not uniform.Among them, the short-distance interstellar voyage between the moon and the moon is carried out once a month.The long-distance interstellar voyage between Mars and Mars is only carried out once a year.Because from the earth to the moon, even if a large transport spacecraft is used, it only takes two hours.

But traveling from Earth to Mars takes much longer.Even for the fastest interstellar spacecraft, it will take at least two days to go there at the closest time to the ground fire. Normal transport spacecraft will extend this time to about two weeks.Coupled with the time of staying and returning, the cycle of a ground fire voyage will reach one month. "

Li Lu turned off her portable brain, and leaned back into Chen Yang's arms.

Then he said: "The frequency of short-distance interstellar voyages between the earth and the moon is higher. In addition to the shorter distance, the more important reason is that the small settlements on the moon are only experimental. In the settlements, there is no ability to independently produce food and water. , so it is necessary to transport and replenish living materials more frequently.

There is no doubt that with the outbreak of the cataclysm, the people on the lunar settlement must have discovered various drastic changes on the surface, and thus know what happened on the earth.Without the transportation and supply of materials from the earth, the people on the lunar settlement...the only ending is to wait for death slowly, and the process, I am afraid, will be more tragic than the scene on this wasteland. "

Feeling that Li Lu's mood became a little depressed, Chen Yang stretched out his hand and gently stroked Li Lu's smooth back to comfort Li Lu.

It's just that following what Li Lu said, Chen Yang himself shuddered a little.

Without food and water, even far from the earth, on that barren moon.

Witnessing the earth's surface being continuously planted with mushrooms, one can imagine the sense of despair in my heart.

Under the influence of this emotion, the as many as [-] immigrants on the moon may turn the settlement into a terrifying purgatory in a very short period of time!

"Ahem... so... what about Mars? The settlements on Mars can produce their own food and water? If so, does it mean that the nearly 300 million immigrants on Mars are still alive?"

Chen Yang took a deep breath, forced a smile and changed the subject.

"I'm not sure. The cataclysm destroyed all the interstellar spacecraft and all the docks that could build interstellar spacecraft. It is impossible for the earth to get in touch with Mars. So Mars must have guessed because it lost contact with the earth. Something happened to the earth. But they probably don't know exactly what happened.

The colony on Mars has a complete internal circulation ecosystem and sufficient food and drinking water production capacity.But other than that, the industrial capacity of the Martian settlements is basically zero. As for the development of Mars, because it is in its infancy, there is no way to obtain any resources on the surface of the planet.

Personally, I prefer that those immigrants are still alive, but the quality of life is... It's a matter of opinion.At least, they don't have to worry about starvation like the survivors on this wasteland.In a sense, this is already very happy. "

Li Lu pursed her lips and said.

"Uh... well, I probably understand. Let's not talk about these uncomfortable topics, let's... continue to explore the mysteries of life."

"I agree……"

4Chapter 16 The need to create mystery

It was almost noon the next day, when Chen Yang and Li Lu finally got up from the bed.

In fact, judging from the physical strength of the two of them, there is no need for such a long sleep.
