Chapter 148 Heart palpitations
In Mars' geostationary orbit, a small, silver-white spaceship with a huge circular radar in the middle and rear of the hull is flying by inertia.
Xinghai Technology's deep space exploration spacecraft 'Sky Eye'.
This is a monitoring spacecraft that is equipped with all types of top-level detection radars in Daxia, as well as a meter-level observation system.
The spacecraft was not going very fast. In front of it, an artificial satellite was flying at the same speed as it.
Fan Ren was sitting in the cockpit, and in another seat beside him was Shan Wu, who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Second brother, the original meaning is that the current three nuclear fusion power generation units can no longer meet the development needs of Utopia City.
This month, a new iron ore refinery was built outside Utopia under its command.
According to what it is saying now, the next step will be to build a fully automated processing factory, and the first batch will be to build machine workers who can work 24 hours a day and are several times more efficient than humans."
Fan Ren held the communication content he had just received from the satellite in his hand, and his brows were furrowed into a river shape.
The Sky Eye has been in Mars' geostationary orbit for nearly a year.
During this year, through radar detection and feedback from fixed-point photography, the construction work outside Utopia City has really changed every day.
The area that once covered 60 square kilometers has now exceeded 100 square kilometers.
The original plan was very organized. At the beginning, it sent out an exploration team to conduct a large-scale geological survey around Utopia City.
After completing this work, they began to use the initially delivered materials to carry out small-scale ore collection and smelting processes.
After this, the pace of development began to change dramatically.
With the completion of the two basic factories, Yuanchu invested 30% of the population of Utopia in this area.
In just three years, Utopia City now has the ability to manufacture all kinds of large-scale machinery and equipment.
Of course, all this is inseparable from the regular delivery of rubber, battery raw materials, etc., which are necessities that are not available on Mars but are needed for industry.
There are also several nuclear fusion power generation units used for energy supply.
Under such huge changes, the current Mars program has long evolved from the original complete physical isolation to the regular delivery of materials according to the original needs.
But there is a very critical agreement here.
Under A-Dai's operation, there is a material supply agreement between Utopia City and Spieth Company.
The general content is that a certain amount of materials will be delivered in exchange for a certain amount of time that Utopia City will serve as free labor for Spieth's company in the future.
However, even Yuanchu didn't know that this so-called 'Spieth' company is still an outsider.
So far, except for the personnel selection which was led by Spieth Company, the entire Mars project has been completed jointly by Daxia and Xinghai Company.
The abilities displayed by Yuanchu are also extremely amazing.
It's only been two years.
Fan Ren looked serious as he kept flipping through the report sent by Li Jian, stopping from time to time to think for a while.
"Second brother, it seems to me that the original purpose is the same as what we originally set in his underlying logic. All the goals are to make Utopia have the ability to operate self-sufficiently as soon as possible.
Moreover, when it comes to the issue of workers' work, there was no phenomenon of exploiting workers' labor at first. Instead, it was still the same as before, with workers only having to work 5-6 hours a day and then go off work to rest.
In my opinion, there are no unsettling factors at the moment.”
Fan Ren put away the documents, sat on the chair, closed his eyes and began to think.
In 3 years, in such a harsh environment, a city with a population of one million has been developed to the point where it is now capable of preliminary self-production of industrial goods and self-production of food to meet the needs of 20% of the population.
If it were under human control, it would be impossible. But under its control, various technical jobs are reasonably allocated, working hours are reasonably arranged, and at the same time, it does not hesitate to use its own city's future labor force as a selling point and frantically asks for resources from Spieth's company.
superb.
So far in this experiment, the capabilities of artificial intelligence have been demonstrated to be extremely perfect.
According to Ah Dai's records, the current primitive world has more than enough computing power.
A small utopia with a population of only one million people is completely unable to utilize its full computing power.
However, what Fanren wants to see is its harm.
He opened his eyes, took out the quantum communication device, and dialed out.
"Third brother, I will send you the list of the next batch of supplies later. We will still transport them to the Arctic glacier and then use rail transportation to transport them to Utopia City."
On the other end of the phone, Liu Jun's voice sounded a little tired.
"Okay, I got it. Anything else?"
Hearing this, Fan Ren felt a little reluctant and said, "If you are tired, take a rest. It's okay. I will arrange someone to help you."
"Come on, just finish your plan quickly. I can still hold on. Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to get busy."
After hanging up the phone, Fan Ren lost all emotion and stood up and walked towards the equipment room behind him.
"Boss Fan, come and see."
A gray-haired scientist pointed at the display screen with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"What is this?" Fan Ren looked in the direction and became puzzled.
"This is an all-terrain vehicle. According to our observations, it should be equipped with an unmanned driving system and should use electromagnetic wave communication. Currently, this all-terrain vehicle has traveled 500 kilometers out of Utopia City."
"Where are they going? Can we observe their purpose?"
Fan Ren knew that this was something Yuanchu had invented, and he was amazed that the other party had developed such a fast speed for long-distance communication.
500 kilometers, with only two electromagnetic wave transceivers, it is possible to complete precise control of the two vehicles.
The scientist was also puzzled when he heard this and replied, "I don't know the details yet, but they are currently moving in a straight line to the south. According to my guess, they should be testing the communication distance."
As soon as the scientist finished speaking, the terrain vehicle slowly stopped.
"It's not that the battery is out of power. I think the connection is lost. The real-time wireless communication distance of 502 kilometers is amazing."
Fan Ren also nodded. The all-terrain vehicle was completely silent at this moment, which should be similar to what the scientist had guessed.
Utopia City computer room.
Ah Dai climbed up from the floor. Just now, he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
No reason, no basis.
"Yuan Chu, what are the results of your communication test?"
"The test distance was 503 kilometers. The vehicle has lost contact. The test result exceeded the expected distance by 3 kilometers."
Ah Dai scratched his head. He felt that he might have just had a nightmare. Everything was normal at first, and nothing unexpected happened.
