It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"We've reached lunar orbit, request to land!"

A few seconds later, Lu Yongchang's response came over the radio.

"Approved to land!"

"Roger that!"

After Bai Yixuan responded, he manipulated Xuannv No. [-] to land towards the predetermined location.

During the period of research and development of lunar mining equipment, three drivers drove Xuannv-[-] to and from the moon more than ten times. It can be said that the few people who come to the moon are as relaxed and proficient as returning home.

As for the purpose of these more than ten trips to and from the moon...

It is natural to bring various devices required by the Moon Palace Project to the moon.

After all, the carrying capacity of Xuannv No. [-] is not large enough to carry so many supplies at once.

then……

At this moment, all kinds of heavy equipment are erected on the silver-white surface of the moon.

Smelting furnaces, crawler conveyors, ore sorting equipment...

It's like building a small ore smelter.

Next to this small ore smelter, a black plane with a whole body slowly landed.

Around the fuselage, countless moon dust was instantly raised.

Three pilots wore spacesuits and walked down Xuannv-[-] with cameras.

When the scene on the moon's surface was transmitted to the earth through the satellite, the entire Xia Kingdom... the entire world, and everyone who followed the live broadcast were stunned!

"Fuck?!"

"Is the Moon Palace plan officially implemented today?"

"Do you dare to believe the rabbit's words?"

"Rabbit: I've completed a billion points."

"I'm damn... I believe you are only short of the last automatic mining device!"

"Congratulations, you got the answer right, but there is no prize!"

After Bai Yixuan set up the camera, he and two teammates came to Xuannv No. [-]'s abdomen.

He reached out and pressed a few buttons.

Under the operation of the hydraulic transmission device, the cargo door on the abdomen slowly opened.

In the cargo hold, nine silver-white cubes with a side length of two meters lay quietly in it.

"This is the automatic mining equipment?" Hong Fan's voice sounded in the team channel, "I don't think it looks very reliable..."

"It stands to reason... At least there must be a drill, right?"

Bai Yixuan shrugged, and said angrily: "Who knows? Maybe there is, but it's just hidden?"

"Huh? Really?" Hong Fan quickly walked to the side of the silver-white cube, and looked inside along the cracks on the surface.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and finish the task, these 9 things are not easy to move!" Bai Yixuan walked past Hong Fan, and walked towards the moving machinery beside him.

Hong Fan raised his head, looked at Bai Yixuan's back, and said in a daze, "Aren't you curious?"

"After all, Professor Lu also got involved in this thing, who knows how much high technology it contains..."

Xia Wanyi's voice sounded.

What he said made sense, but he was powerless to refute it...

Hong Fan was stunned, gave up his curiosity, and walked towards the two teammates.

Even if the gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of that of the earth, it is not an easy task to carry these big things.

With the help of the handling machinery, the three worked together and successfully transported the nine silver-white cubes to the predetermined location.

"call……"

Bai Yixuan let out a long sigh of relief, and then turned on the radio switch.

"Ground command center, the mission has been completed."

Chapter 108 Self-Replication

"Received, start the automatic lunar mining equipment now!"

Lu Yongchang's steady voice came from the radio.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of countless people, a very sci-fi scene appeared.

On the surface of the nine silver-white cubes, several indicator lights glowing blue were lit up.

The next moment, as the indicator light continued to flash, the silver-white cube slowly unfolded along the cracks on the surface.

Due to technical limitations, it is slightly different from the scenes in sci-fi movies, and the speed at which the cube unfolds is not very fast.

But this scene is enough to surprise people!

The nine cubes slowly unfolded, and then spliced ​​together, and a prototype of mining equipment slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"hiss……"

Even the team leader Bai Yixuan was shocked by the sci-fi scene in front of him.

"Fuck...Professor Lu and the others built something..."

Hong Fan on the side watched the automatic assembly process of the mining equipment in front of him intently, and muttered to himself, "That is to say, is there a possibility that Professor Lu is actually an alien?"

The three astronauts were so surprised, let alone the ordinary people who saw this picture through the camera!

In just a few minutes, countless viewers flooded into the live broadcast rooms of major platforms.

"epic!"

"If it weren't for the total loss of image quality, I would even think this is a fragment of some sci-fi movie..."

"Damn it?! Seriously? I just squinted for a while, can't I be time travel?"

"You are awake, the operation was a success!"

"Such a picture can be released for us to see, so the question is, how much is Xia Guo hiding in his hands?"

"Rabbit: No more, no more, just a few hundred million!"

"..."

Just as everyone was discussing intensely, the live broadcast screen suddenly switched.

The host Bingbing's sweet smile appeared in front of the camera again.

"Everyone, this live broadcast of the Moon Palace program ends here, see you next time."

The voice hadn't finished yet, and the live broadcast screen was already black.

"???"

"Is it really going down at the speed of light?"

"What's next? I want to see what's next!"

"I'm sorry for this viewer, next is the paid content, the receiving account:..."

……

more than an hour later.

Seeing the normal operation of the automatic mining equipment, Lu Yongchang on the podium was slightly relieved.

"Has the surface debris collection vehicle started operation?"

Kong Xingbang's questioning voice came from the side.

Lv Yongchang nodded lightly: "Unlike mining equipment, the surface debris collection vehicle started operation a week ago."

"The current situation is good. Through electric heating and solar mirror heating, a part of helium-[-] has been collected."

"The second purpose of Xuannv-[-] going up this time is to bring back these Helium-[-]s."

Kong Xingbang supported his crutches with both hands, and stood up from the chair with difficulty, his eyes showed a touch of excitement: "From now on, the Moon Palace Project will really start to be implemented!"

"It's just..." A trace of worry flashed in Kong Xingbang's eyes, "According to the current speed, the Moon Palace Project may still be a bit slow."

Hearing Kong Xingbang's sigh, the smile on Lu Yongchang's face gradually disappeared.

He sighed slightly, nodded and echoed, "Yes."

"Not only the transportation capacity of Xuannv No. [-], but also the working efficiency of mining equipment is a big problem."

"I have roughly estimated that according to the current speed, it may take about five years for the Moon Palace Project to be fully implemented."

Kong Xingbang pondered for a moment, then said softly: "The transportation capacity of Xuannv No. [-] is not a problem. If one is not enough, we can build ten, and if it is not enough, we can build a hundred!"

"In my opinion, the most important issue at the moment is the efficiency of mining equipment."

"After all, the program is dead, and it is on a distant moon. These factors have led to the problem of extremely low mining efficiency."

"If... let Zero control those mining equipment, do you think it is feasible?"

Kong Xingbang has seen a fully automatic factory controlled by zero.

At the beginning, due to manpower and productivity reasons, Ling could only control more than ten robotic arms and various machine tools.

In just two months, the number of zero-controlled robotic arms and machine tools has increased by hundreds to thousands of times.

Naturally, this was not achieved by Xia Guo's original productivity.

After all, it is impossible for Xia Guo to stop other more important production tasks to manufacture a large number of precision mechanical arms and processing equipment for Zero.

As a true artificial intelligence, Zero has a real housekeeping skill.

self-replicating.

As long as there are sufficient raw materials and sufficient computing power, Zero can achieve exponential growth through several robotic arms and various production equipment!

That is the legendary "explosive soldiers".

After seeing the exponentially increasing productivity, Kong Xingbang began to think about it.

If the ability of zero is used on the moon...

Perhaps the entire Moon Palace project can be completed in just a few months!

Thinking of the scene of countless mechanical arms manipulating all kinds of production equipment to mine and smelt on the moon, Kong Xingbang's old and dry heart ignited a hot flame again!

But in the next moment, most of this flame was extinguished by Lu Yongchang's basin of ice water.

"Mr. Kong, at present, this may be difficult to achieve."

Kong Xingbang stared blankly at Lu Yongchang who was full of bitterness in front of him, and unconsciously grasped the crutch in his hand with withered hands.

"The reason?"

He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Lu Yongchang shook his head bitterly.

"Mr. Kong, I have also thought about the way you said it."

"Don't talk about computing power, just the delay between the earth and the moon is enough for us to drink a pot."

Kong Xingbang reacted abruptly.

Yes.

Perhaps because he was too excited, he ignored the simplest question.

The earth-moon communication is delayed.

Lu Yongchang's voice sounded again: "Mr. Kong, the current round-trip time for the Earth-Moon information is between 2.34 and 2.71 seconds."

"Even artificial intelligence, in the face of such a delay, may not be able to accurately operate the mining equipment on the moon."

"What's more... At present, Zero's idle computing power is running out. After controlling this plant, it still needs to be responsible for various computing tasks in the entire laboratory."

Kong Xingbang sighed deeply, his eyes were full of disappointment: "Since this is the case, now we can only build a few more Xuannv No. [-] and use manpower to fill this vacancy."

Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly: "There is no need to be so pessimistic."
