Chapter 362 Circulatory System

It takes a while for quantum computers to collect data. Of course, Li Maoye would not wait foolishly at the underground base. After checking and confirming that there was no problem, he quickly took the elevator to return to his personal office.

There are many passages leading to the underground secret base, either leaving an emergency backup escape path or a secret passage for transporting goods to intelligent robots. Only this passage in the office is the most commonly used daily, even though it has not been used a few times so far.

Not long after returning to the office, Li Maoye saw Assistant Xie come over. In addition to reporting on the daily work of the laboratory, he also helped the relevant departments ask about some things.

For example, the data fluctuations that just happened were abnormal, and Assistant Xie also mentioned, but this was just a small matter. After applying for network tests, the bandwidth of Miaoxing Laboratory has expanded a lot, which is almost comparable to that of the domestic Ali Cloud server.

Meow Star Group itself has qualifications and services in this area, and the cloud-compressed server is placed in the headquarters building, so this is just a small matter. However, Meow Star Laboratory is quite special. No matter what you do, you need to say hello to the higher authorities, otherwise it will be bad if you cause misunderstandings.

This time, the abnormal data fluctuations have a great impact. Almost the global network has a stuttering in one or two seconds, and it spreads outward with Pengcheng as the center. It is natural for relevant departments to notice and ask questions.

"It's okay, I just tested the functions of data search, collection and storage. There will be no problem now!" Li Maoye passed by in a few words. His reason for applying was to build an Internet database for the laboratory and wanted to back up information data of the global website.

The relevant departments cannot understand the use of this kind of data backup, but they have no reason to reject the bald boss's inexplicable actions. Anyway, they don't look harmful anyway. Maybe they just want to back up data for their favorite 2D animations or small movies?

In addition to this little thing, there is also a new space transport ship designed by the laboratory to complete the test, and now it has officially produced and prepared a ship to be launched through the [Earth Cannon].

Li Maoye needs to attend the acceptance ceremony and compare the differences between the new space transport transmission and the old version. The new space transport ship can be simply called the transport ship 2.0 version, which is mainly used to transport goods between the moon and the space station.

Due to the rapid development of mining at the lunar base, the previous space transport ships have fallen behind. Although it has just been put into use for a few years, according to development needs, it is necessary to upgrade the original space ship.

In addition to transporting resource cargo, the upgraded space transport ship can also allow astronauts to board, with up to six people at a time, but it is much more convenient than the Bald Eagle using liquid rockets to land on the moon. After all, in addition to passengers, there are hundreds of tons of cargo on the ship.

At present, the working method at the Guanghan Palace base on the Moon is far beyond the control, and the delay in data signal is still a big problem. However, Li Maoye already has a solution in mind, but he still has to wait until the quantum computer is truly completed before it can be done.

This matter can be discussed later. Li Maoye took a flying Tmall transport plane and spent several hours to arrive at the destination. He got off the plane and went directly to the warehouse to see the transport ship version 2.0.

In front of him was a rectangular spacecraft, with no wings but only starry sky engines fixed on both sides. After all, outer space has no atmosphere, so there is no need to consider air resistance issues at all. Just design according to actual conditions.

The transport ship is empty and there is no complicated life support system. Apart from the metal brackets used to fix the cargo, there are six passenger positions hanging on metal walls. You can tell at a glance that they are not for people to sit on because they are six semicircular grooves.

"Oh? Are you planning to use cylindrical jars to load people and transport them to your destination?" Li Maoye looked at the grooves and quickly judged the design intentions of these guys.

The transport ship is designed and developed in the laboratory, but Li Maoye has never interfered with the work of the people below. Unless there are really big problems, he is willing to delegate power to others to trouble.

The answer to the question was Qin Hua, who explained: "Anyway, they only require people to be transported to the moon alive. As for other aspects, they try to save as much as possible. Moreover, the metal jar is also very comfortable. I almost fell asleep after experiencing it myself!"

Then Li Maoye went to check the metal canned passenger compartment, which was a 2.5-meter-high circular column. The interior dressing was soft sponge-like material, which could effectively reduce shock and the overall space was quite large, which could fully accommodate passengers in space suits.

There is also an electric thrust engine nozzle outside it, which can be used for short-distance flights. It is probably one of the safety measures to prevent accidents, but in Li Maoye's opinion, there are very few opportunities to use it.

"This thing can't move faster in the universe, right?" Li Maoye looked at the small thruster on the metal can, and then analyzed: "You should give priority to accuracy, so that it can play a role in some occasions!"

Qin Hua nodded to express his understanding and quickly explained: "We also think so. If a transport ship accident occurs, I am afraid that the passengers inside will not have time to escape. Only waiting for rescue is the best strategy! These thrusters are for the convenience of rescue work, such as controlling it to fly to the rescue ship, etc.."

It has external cameras installed on the front, back, left and right sides, and there is a flexible screen inside that can be operated by touch and clicking. It is completely controlled by intelligent programs, just as simple as playing games.

Li Maoye turned around the metal can, then patted its shell, able to feel its solidity, and said with satisfaction: "Although it is not as comfortable as the starship spacecraft designed by Musk, it is also good for a short trip in outer space."

After the efforts of Meow Star Group and Rabbit Space Administration, it only takes about 8 hours for the transport ship to fly from the South Sky Gate Space Station to the moon, which can only be achieved by the powerful thrust of the starry sky engine. It is many times faster than the lunar journey that took eight or nine days in the past.

However, if you want to go to the lunar base, you still have to rely on liquid rockets to reach the space station, and then take a space transport ship from the space station to the moon. It seems that there is one more step in the transit process and goes a long way, but in fact, this is the fastest way to reach the moon.

Otherwise, it will not only take a very long time to ride a rocket to the moon, but also the cost of landing on the moon is astonishingly high.

Since the completion of the Meow Star Group's [Earth Cannon], its role has become increasingly obvious. With the years of optimization and improvement of Academician Ma, the cost of launching materials to the synchronous space station has now been controlled to RMB 500 per kilogram, which is still a situation where the currency continues to appreciate.

Compared with the cost of launching materials to low-Earth orbit in the past, the cost is only because the starry sky engine technology is effectively controlled. As long as the materials are placed in low-Earth orbit, they can be transported through spacecraft equipped with super electric thrust engines, the largest cost is still electricity bills.

In order to provide sufficient energy for the Daxueshan launch base, the national government immediately built three cold nuclear fusion reactors near the base after obtaining the bald eagle cold nuclear fusion technology, and all the electricity generated was used to supply [Earth Cannon] and the base living area.

Today's launch plan not only sends three space transport ships to the Nantianmen Space Station, but also transports a large amount of daily necessities to the Lingxiao Baodian Space Station, because in a few days there will be a heavy rocket to be launched at the Jiuquan base, and a manned spacecraft will be launched together.

The improved Fat Five rocket will arrive at Lagrangian as planned, and then the six astronauts in the manned spacecraft can receive and use these supplies. At that time, another six people who have changed shifts will be launched next month.

At present, Lingxiao Baodian Space Station has been basically completed. Not only has the planned Third Ring Road Project been completed, but the Fifth Ring Road is also being planned, and the space station staff have also arrived at the post one after another.

According to the original design, it can accommodate 150 people to live and work together, but to this day there are less than 60 people. Therefore, many of the work is done through stand-alone robots, otherwise there will be problems in the operation of the entire space station.

With the increase in the number of people in the space station, the materials consumed every day are a large expenditure. For example, the air that humans must breathe must be solved first. Aerospace powers have studied air filtration and oxygen regeneration, but no one has a one-time solution. They can only rely on biotechnology to decompose carbon dioxide and absorb bad components in the air through equipment to allow the air of the entire space station to be regenerated and circulated.

Li Maoye suddenly asked the Aerospace Rabbit next to him and said, "It is said that the Aerospace Administration plans to build an ecological circulation system on the space station so that algae can decompose and absorb carbon dioxide in large quantities?"

The Aerospace Rabbit did not hesitate. The academician asked not any confidential questions, so he quickly explained the work they were doing research in detail.

Thanks to the huge volume of the Lingxiao Baodian Space Station, the Space Administration has built a glass interlayer filled with fresh water and cyanobacteria on it. It is very large in area and volume, and it also accounts for 60% of the weight of the entire space station. It is said that in addition to problems when it started to operate, it has basically been on track later. It is estimated that the oxygen source problem of the space station will be solved soon.

"But before that, we still have to rely on traditional technical means to solve air filtration and regeneration!" The Aerospace Rabbit said at last.

Li Maoye nodded and expressed his understanding that in fact, in addition to the air that humans must breathe, food, drink, defecation and urination are also major problems that must be solved. However, this problem was well solved a year ago.

Since Rabbit promoted the cloning project, the Magic City cloning technology R&D Center has made new breakthroughs in this regard. This time, they not only solved the stem cell cloning problem, but also further reduced the cost to an acceptable range in the cloning meat technology provided by Li Maoye.

In other words, Li Maoye's dream of replacing artificial breeding meat with cloned meat was about to come true. However, the flower farming government considered that the people might not be able to accept it. On the other hand, although the cost of cloned meat has been reduced a lot, it is still a bit difficult to truly popularize it.

"In addition, there are technical diffusion issues, ethical and moral issues, etc.." When introducing how to solve the problem of eating, drinking, defecation and sensation, Aerospace Rabbit focused on the impact of cloning meat technology on the aerospace industry. With this technology, it is no longer a dream for them to eat big fish and meat in space.

No matter how cloned meat is, it is still meat, but it actually tastes similar to natural breeding meat, and there are not so many messy viruses and bacteria.

"It's even more impossible to have antibiotics!" Yuhangtu emphasized.

After the research and development and improvement of the Magic City cloning technology R&D Center, if the Aerospace Rabbits want to eat meat, they only need to choose the types and parts of the meat to eat on the cloning machine one week in advance, and then they will produce it from the machine when the time comes, and they will also considerately remove the meat soaks outside the cloning meat.

Then there will be cooking robots to handle it. The whole process is operated by intelligent machines, and humans do not need to do it themselves. Therefore, what is finally presented to the astronauts is a delicious meal.

"It is worth mentioning that even if the astronauts can't finish it, it will not cause waste, because the domestic waste in the space station, including urine feces, will be recycled through environmentally friendly spores, and will continue to enter the ecosystem circulation, and then become the medium required to produce cloned meat during the circulation process... The only loss in this process is time and energy."

Aerospace Rabbit is talking about another black technology product of Meow Star, which has become synonymous with environmental protection. It has become an indispensable and important thing in the aerospace industry.

Originally, the domestic waste produced by astronauts in space was rarely recycled except water resources, and it was extremely difficult to deal with. However, when the garbage mushroom environmental protection technology emerged, people found that this thing was a necessity for space travel.

As long as domestic waste or other garbage is thrown to garbage mushrooms for treatment, it will eventually be decomposed and restored to basic substances. Whether it is toxic or non-toxic, it can be recycled, especially the recycling of water resources is much simpler.

Originally, the experts also planned to use garbage mushrooms to decompose and recycle them, and turn them into astronauts' spare food, which can provide enough calories in the face of shortage of resources. Although the meat of garbage mushrooms is not difficult to eat, it is easy to get bored if you eat too much.

But soon they found that they didn’t actually need to eat mushrooms all day, because the Magic City Cloning Technology R&D Center made a major breakthrough in meat cloning technology, which is to technically process garbage mushrooms or water purification algae, and can eventually be converted into the culture medium required for meat cloning technology.

This makes a closed-loop ecosystem come into being. Astronauts create domestic waste, urine feces, etc., and then the garbage is eaten by mushrooms. Then the mushrooms are processed into culture medium to make cloned meat, and finally the cloned meat is eaten by the astronauts...
