Tower Defense Strategy - Chapter 306

The worries brought about by “Grand View” are about in the distant future, at this moment, human beings still have to fight for their own existence.

In January XX25, another good tool was on the stage.

Unlike the previous weapons, equipment, and equipment, this time it is purely serving the surface industry.

Feng’s programmable multifunctional assembly machine.

This Feng is an industry tycoon from Country G. Feng is not a surname, but a middle name of a nobleman a hundred years ago. His team has chosen a unique route after the spread of alien knowledge. Imitation.

The imitation is not the equipment in the game, but some ideas. The Feng-style assembly machine follows the multi-functional route of the production equipment in the game.

Due to the level of technology, it is impossible to achieve the scope of food, fuel, and industrial products as in the game. After learning some relevant extraterrestrial theoretical knowledge, I decided to set the target standard to the assembly line. .

The assembly line of modern industry is often a complex system that occupies an entire factory building and the conveyor belt is divided into several layers. But if you don’t pursue production capacity, you can actually do a small amount.

Take a chestnut, Feizhai Happy Water, its production line is a modern industrial standard version, because it can follow up and improve at any time, so that its products can ignore currency depreciation and maintain the same price for decades, but with the improvement, it is the production line. It becomes more and more complicated.

What if you just make an aluminum can for carbonated liquid? About the size of two vending machines, it is enough to hold all the steps of aluminum-containing tube stamping, aluminum cans coloring, canned liquids, and capping.

The source of the difference is determined by the time difference of each link.

The efficiency of aluminum cans stamping is definitely not able to keep up with the speed of canned liquids, so larger equipment is needed to punch many aluminum cans at the same time. When the difference link continues to increase, it is like doing arithmetic problems. In order to pursue the highest production efficiency, the equipment The complexity will get higher and higher.

The idea of ​​the Feng-style assembly machine is to make only one at a time, the purpose is to make this machine can do many, many things.

Choosing this technical route has proved the vision of Feng’s team. They had already seen that if the monster crisis did not magically disappear, the existing industrial system would inevitably collapse. In that context, output is no longer the first priority, but it should be required to “can be made.”

After more than a year of precipitation, in the middle of last year, it accelerated after receiving investment from several countries such as Country C and West Central Continent. Now it has finally produced the finished product.

The basic version of Feng’s assembly machine includes four welding methods, three-dimensional positioning and position calibration of workpieces, compatible with sixteen parts selection and movement modes, stamping module, coil module, baking and painting module, etc. It can realize the functions of circuit board assembly and welding, ammunition assembly, metal plate assembly and welding.

To achieve such a multi-function, its volume is not large, it is made into a standard container, and it can even be transported by trains and terminal cranes. When it is necessary to transfer it, it can be towed away as a container.

Of course, the disadvantages are impossible.

First of all, there is no need to think about efficiency. It can only be said that it is faster than two people manually and guarantees the processing accuracy; secondly, the threshold for use is a bit high. When changing the manufactured products, very professional people are required, at least the mechanical engineer and the program engineer, and the complexity of the system Ordinary workers don’t understand at all; because of the high complexity, maintenance also requires very professional people; finally, it sacrifices the size of the finished workpiece for portability, and can only output things the size of a plastic stool.

It has a lot of selling points. The main customers are those areas that need to be rebuilt quickly, as well as some areas that are relatively far away.

The so-called far-sighted is actually the last line of defense that country C is pushing, which has power generation and part of the production capacity in a relatively small area.

In fact, this is not only promoted by country C, but other regions are dominated by consortia and universities, and the government in many places is completely behind the scenes.

As soon as Feng’s assembly machine came out, orders grew rapidly, and within a few days it increased to 7,000 units.

The industrial concentration area in Country G was ruined by monsters before. Now that it needs production capacity in all aspects, there is no way to create so much. In desperation, I can only refund the license fee and authorize other regions to produce.

Assembly, not a particularly important link in the entire industrial chain, was labor-intensive in the early years. Feng’s assembly machine is still a bit aiming at the blank market.

But for the market of “miniaturization of the industrial chain” that has only recently become popular, Feng is indispensable. Because of his drive, since they received the investment last year, other companies have successively started to work on similar projects.

Country C has also come to an end, and directly gave some information about the factory model used by the Moon Palace to several government-owned enterprises, who will carry out subsequent market-oriented transformation and design.

In fact, these companies themselves have participated in the design and production of the Yuegong factory, and some of the information is already in their hands.

But having said that, it is actually not that easy to move this kind of space device back to the surface.

Mention I mentioned earlier, the glass workshop.

There is no air on the moon surface, and vacuum is not always good. When liquid water is needed, vacuum is the killer. In a completely vacuum open environment, even liquid water at a few degrees Celsius will keep boiling. Therefore, the entire equipment of the factory is in a closed environment, and the tin solution used as the bottom liquid of the flat glass will not be oxidized and polluted, and the process flow is much less than that of the ground.

When it comes to the surface, completely airtight, which drastically increases costs, must be removed, especially the parts that enter and exit the material must be airtight, which is really not what ordinary manufacturers can do. Abandoning airtightness, and correspondingly, there must be a means to remove the oxide layer, and how to balance and choose between them will be determined by engineers one by one.

In addition, all the heat in the Moon Palace factory is strictly controlled. Because it is very likely that the heat is now removed, and extra electricity will have to be used to add the heat back at night on the moon, and a large amount of heat will be stored in the form of several hundred degrees of high-pressure water vapor. On the surface of the factory, the outer shell will not naturally cool down to more than one hundred degrees below zero, so you definitely don’t need to be so particular about it.

The point is that the number of people participating in the project is not at all an order of magnitude.

The Yuegong Factory, as a key project for the self-sufficiency of materials for the space sustainability project, has more than 20,000 senior engineers involved in design, verification, etc., not counting those responsible for manufacturing verification equipment and subsequent testing and commissioning tools. Those are all The baby mechanics in the factory are the kind that don’t easily borrow them.

Now as a subsidiary project of a few companies, even if it is urgent, two friends can only be invested in a sub-project in a short period of time. Two or three hundred people can only be invested in a sub-project. The loss is a reverse improvement. From zero, no one dared to make a timetable.

Their task was only received in August last year, and the prototype had just been released in January. A series of tests are required, and it may have to be changed in the process. The metallurgical chain is a bit slower, I don’t know if it can be done before the third-level monster appears.

Assuming that the monsters can cooperate a little bit and don’t interrupt the process of miniaturization of the industrial chain, after this year, next year, they can realize the self-sufficiency of the industrial chain without raw material mining in some cities with better natural resource conditions.

In this new type of industry, although the government-owned enterprises of country C have several projects, the main force is still private companies. At the national level, country C does not intend to list them as a key strategy.

The main contradiction is still the issue of production capacity. The production capacity of the miniaturized industrial chain can only barely allow the technological level of the city to not regress. It is completely unrealistic to use the city as a unit to provide material assistance to the space system.

Even if you don’t talk about the industrial chain, just talk about people.

Studies have shown that disaster victims and refugees who have received foreign aid for a long time will experience a structural retrogression in civilization, and education will return to zero in just 20 to 30 years.

On the other hand, production and commercial activities are essential and important links for maintaining modern civilization. Once missing, mankind will enter an irreversible decline, from civilization to ignorance.

The miniaturized industrial chain serves as an anchor for the civilization stage here, at least maintaining the rigid demand for high-end talents, and will not waste education.

Limited by raw materials and production capacity, after the global industrial chain is disconnected, the miniaturized industrial chain cannot replace the power of the large-scale industry. Can not guarantee.

All in all, with the current level of technology, the miniaturization of the industrial chain is only a useful supplement to the post-global disaster, and it is not a substitute for the global industrial chain.

Officials who have a more comprehensive understanding of the global industrial chain only focus on a few key points in the post-disaster era.

The first is the aforementioned nuclear material supply system constructed in collaboration with global self-sufficient cities.

The second is food processing. Food processing here only refers to the vacuum-packaged dehydrated meat food that is supplied for the space system.

The main consideration is that the gravity of the existing space facilities is too low. The highest gravity is the Kunpeng Space Station, which has only 0.3g. However, the Kunpeng Space Station itself has to rely on the Moon Palace to deliver mineral supplies. The animal husbandry industry cannot have any hope in the short term. One of the most scarce supplies in space in the era of disasters.

However, meat processing is a low-end industry after all, and including animal husbandry is the only task that can be accomplished through a single city among the key objectives.

The third is the manufacturing and rapid recovery capabilities of electromagnetic rockets.

Carrier rockets are one of the jewels of the industrial crown. Only aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines can be compared with them. The technical threshold of fission nuclear bombs is a bit less interesting.

If you want to integrate all the production links of the launch vehicle in a single city, the possibility must be zero.

In the post-disaster era where monsters are everywhere, it is more difficult to coordinate all surviving urban defense circles and continue to build rockets than nuclear fuel. Nuclear fuel is only a kind of “ceramic” with more complex composition, just a comparison of global industrial distribution. dispersion.

The so-called manufacturing capacity is more about the expectation of maintaining a more comprehensive material production and processing capacity. It is difficult to expect to keep the industrial chain intact under the continuous destruction of monsters.

Rocket recovery has become a later plan that must be carefully considered.

Electromagnetic rockets represent the gradual learning of the use of extraterrestrial materials and technology by humans. It has always had a recycling system, but it is not suitable for use in the post-disaster era~www.mtlnovel.com~ The existing recycling is divided into two parts.

The first is the first-stage rocket. When this thing falls, it will do its best when calculating the orbit, and it will basically fall into the sea. Because the fuel tanks are empty, they will float up when they fall into the sea and be recovered by the ship.

The other part of the upper stage, spacecraft, etc., are designed to fall back to the grasslands and Gobi areas and be recovered by vehicles and armed escorts.

To meet the needs of the post-disaster era, it is now required to design a first-stage rocket that can safely fall back to the grassland.

Not only does the structure of the first-stage rockets need to be equipped with positioning, deceleration, and landing devices, but also the trajectory of the orbiting needs to be adjusted to ensure that they fall back to the grassland area. When it comes to orbital adjustments, it may make the rocket heavier and more complicated. If you don’t do it now, humans may not be able to do it in the post-disaster era.

As for the subsequent transportation, it is not a major issue for country C. A rocket without fuel is not heavy. At most, the engine is removed and transported separately by a large transport plane or a heavy helicopter.

In the various preparations and preparations for the post-disaster era, new things were born because of those special needs.
