Chapter 265: Shennong's Clan
Just when the Qing Dynasty was in a state of turmoil, a good show of union was staged in British North America, and the Queen of England officially signed the British North America Act, and the three provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Canada formed a federation, which was the predecessor of Canada.
Although the whole of Canada was formally incorporated, the trend of integration was already obvious, and the federal government that wanted to be established also invited the Duke of London to build a transportation artery through Canada for them. However, Downing had a hunch that Canada's economy would develop greatly, so he built a highway in Canada, the Trans-Canada Highway, which is expected to exceed 8,000 kilometers, making it the longest highway in the world.
Obviously, the newly formed federal government could not afford to build such a long road, and at this time it was still the era of semi-railroads and semi-highways, and even the United States could not afford to build interstate highways across the continent. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, Boss Tang does. As long as a large area of the highway near the highway is owned by Boss Tang, what if all the money is paid by Boss Tang alone?
The Canadian government is very happy that it can build the world's longest highway without spending a penny, it is simply too comfortable, and now the land in Canada is not worth much, and there is only a little business in minerals, timber and furs. Downing never does anything uninspiring, and this time, he wants to build a smart highway that can run self-driving cars in the future.
Building wireless charging roads like the Green Corridor on 8,000 kilometers of long roads is too advanced and too costly, and there is no need to fight so hard to see how good it is for Canada's development. This time, Downing will choose a compromise solution, the Fluorescent Line Highway.
The core technology is to use a special material to paint lines in the middle and on both sides of the road, which absorbs sunlight during the day and glows all the time at night, and in addition to lighting, it can also be a clear guide to guide autonomous driving. The three rays can be used as a guide, referring to each other, and it is not easy to make mistakes. Suppose the maximum speed limit of an automatic car is 80 km/h, and if one of them is broken, it will be reduced to 60 km/h, and if it is bad, it will be reduced to 40 km/h.
A car that breaks down in the near future can also be navigated to distant rays at a slow speed of 20 km/h, and at the same time automatically send a repair signal. If it hangs up from a distance, it has to stop completely, at which point the tail lights of the car will flash and the vehicles behind it will be notified to stop by radio.
On the long Trans-Canada Highway, the greatest possibility is not the people who cross the road, but the wild animals, and for this, self-driving cars must use technology such as ultrasound to determine that there are no obstacles ahead. The law also stipulates that the one with three lights on the highway is an autonomous driving line, which can only be driven by special vehicles, while ordinary vehicles use different lanes.
Last time, Downing told Linfield that the computing technology used in the automatic driving of cars is many times more complex than that of light, slow and small vehicles, and even if Downing uses the 1629 chip, it cannot undertake real-time pattern recognition, otherwise this technology will not have to wait so many years before it appears. But for the great god, the performance of the chip is not a problem, he still has black technology to use.
Following the complex instruction set and the reduced instruction set, scientists will also usher in an era of zero instruction set. Z here refers to the fact that it is a big killer used to perform pattern recognition. For example, ordinary CPU pattern recognition operations are like looking for a spectator named Zhang San in a stadium of 10,000 people, and simple instructions can only ask one by one: "Are you Zhang San?" ”
This simple command requires a maximum of 10,000 times to determine Zhang San's seat number, and it is like a super loudspeaker announcing to the entire stadium: "Please tell Zhang San's audience to stand up and look for you!" Zhang San stood up immediately after hearing the broadcast and responded to the call tens of thousands of times faster. At present, the 3-micron process manufactured by Downing's chemical corrosion template method is sufficient to create a program that can be used to instantly determine the echo or radar of obstacles ahead. Its project team is completely ** with 1629, and the product is called Z1.
It can also be used for fingerprint recognition, and if it is a linear comparison method, white-collar workers who use fingerprints to punch cards may find that the processing speed of the punch card machine is quite slow and quite unreliable. Fingerprint recognition has not been mainstream for a long time, and the backwardness of linear processing methods is also a major reason. The pattern recognition of organisms is all parallel, that is, the greatest potential is that it can be more suitable for simulating the neural network of organisms than ordinary CPUs.
It can not only process quickly, but also learn in the process, when its recognition is confused, a third party intervenes to help it judge, a good program will immediately remember the result of this intervention, and the next time it encounters the same pattern, it can distinguish. As a result, it will become more and more accurate.
There are more and more people who can build roads, but the people who can build smart roads have not yet been born, and after the "bidding plan" came out, it has aroused heated discussions throughout Canada, and the people are quite looking forward to smart roads. On this 8,000-kilometer journey, you can free up your hands to do other things? The truck driver is almost going to worship Boss Tang.
For cars with self-driving, Downing called it the i-Series, which means: Because this kind of car has to cooperate with the government department, it can only be carried out in countries where he has a good word or a city that is quite cooperative, and Canada, Germany, the West Coast of the United States, India, Brazil and other countries are included in the first list. Its R&D center is in Munich, but soon after that, it will be in full swing at the London plant, the Continental GT plant in Milan, the truck factory in San Francisco, and the Maned Wolf and Jaguar plant in Brazil.
The autopilot channel is green, and this time to upgrade to the car, Tang Ning thought about it for a long time and decided to use a color that has been lost in Chinese Tang Dynasty porcelain, called "secret color". Since it has been lost, there is no conclusive conclusion, what is the secret color? Some people tend to have a greenish bias, others tend to have a blueish bias. It already accounts for green, and in Downing's mind, of course, it is biased towards blue, or it is located in the subtle middle of blue and green, which is quite mysterious. When it glows at night, it's even more dreamlike.
Fluorescence is a substance that emits light after being stimulated by light, and of course there is light during the day, but the human eye is not real, and the photosensitive machine can detect it, which is the basis of the autonomous driving line.
The already fiercely competitive auto market suddenly triggered protests from factory owners, and the government can't let the Windsor consortium monopolize it. At this time, anti-monopoly is not yet in vogue, but Tang Ning still promised to open up relevant technologies after the line matures, and everyone can get a piece of the pie. This calmed the restlessness of the auto entrepreneurs. This is to be combined with the highway, so Downing must let everyone's interests be equalized, otherwise he can only make trouble in the place where he governs.
Downing's promise was quite effective, and everyone knew that he had no interest in making money, but he couldn't help but itch his skills, and from time to time he invented some tricks and tricks. People in the union are worried that autonomous driving will lead to unmanned driving, and that long-distance buses used to have to be driven by two people in turns, but now at least one person can be spared, and won't it cause a lot of unemployment? Tang Ning sarcastically mocked them: "It's better for you to build a parliamentary legislature that long-distance buses must have two drivers, otherwise they will not be allowed to go on the road." ”
His old friend Rawlinson seemed to be accustomed to being in Australia and stayed there to work in the banking industry, and at this time, he persuaded the Australian government to build a federal highway similar to Canada, with additional land and road operating rights, and tolls subject to hearings and government approval.
Downing is very willing to build smart highways in sparsely populated places like Canada, Brazil, and Australia, and there is a demand for this, and small countries don't need to be too "smart" at all after a few hours of driving. As for the Qing Dynasty, although there is also demand, at present, Boss Tang does not like the person in power very much, and does not want to add luster to his achievements during Lord Li's tenure. Or to support the local government of the right way, Tang Ning thought of the Great Wall project in Shanxi again, geological exploration, path selection, loess brick factory are ready, just about to give the last order.
However, as the mass production of semiconductor chips is imminent, he has a new idea, a way to make the transportation of loess bricks more time-saving, labor-saving and cost-saving. As the green corridor becomes more mature and the cost becomes lower and lower, it is possible to use this technology to build two of the world's longest conveyor belts, each 25 kilometers, which can transport the loess bricks produced by the brick factory to a radius of 25 kilometers.
The weight of the brick-moving wheelbarrow reaches 150 kilograms, and the standard load reaches one ton, which happens to be a huge loess brick. It was so heavy that solid tires had to be used. In order to adjust the balance in real time, it will have to wait until the mass production of the 1629 type CPU is possible. Its average speed is 30 kilometers per hour, that is, half a kilometer per minute, and 60 wheelbarrows can guarantee that a line will have a brick delivered every minute at the farthest construction site.
And these lines will have an "ear" every half a kilometer, for two unicycles to go wrong, designed to be empty return unicycles to make way for the load-bearing unicycles, if the time is well controlled, the unicycles that give way do not need to stop completely.
One of the advantages of using a wheelbarrow conveyor belt is that it can flexibly control the speed and frequency of the bricks reaching the construction site, ensuring that the crane that masons the wall can always work. The Great Wall of Lei is just that, you don't need to fight so hard at all, you can work eight hours a day, you can build about 2,000 bricks, that is, the 50-meter-long Great Wall. This number does not seem to be pretty, but after the project is in the state, it can be expanded, the number of wheelbarrows can be increased from 120 to 1,200, the number of cranes increased from two to 20, and eight hours become two shifts of 16 hours, and the efficiency can be increased to one kilometer per day. The construction period of the 800-kilometer Great Wall is 800 days, more than two years, which can be explained to the old folks.
The 800 kilometers of the Great Wall is only 10 meters high, it is estimated that it can not stop the sandstorm, but at the foot of the Great Wall can definitely play a certain role, Tang Ning's idea is to be able to turn the land at the foot of the Great Wall into arable, as long as it is protected by the Great Wall within 100 meters, that is 80 square kilometers of farms, that is, 8000 hectares, each hectare yield 2. 5 tons of wheat, with a total output of 20,000 tons, can supply 300,000 people.
Of course, you can't expect the great god to spend a lot of money to build a Great Wall to grow wheat, Boss Tang can predict which crops will appreciate next year through the agricultural data of the wholesale supermarket, if he is really engaged in planting, it must also be those most valuable cash crops, far away on the edge of the desert, it can still be transported to the market in short supply through guò developed transportation to make a fortune.
In order to grow good crops, the drought in the desert has to be solved. This is the edge of the desert, there is still the rainy season, the hollow structure of the Great Wall is to set aside to store water, its middle is a honeycomb hexagonal structure, strong and empty, the entire Great Wall has two-thirds of the volume can be used to store water, equivalent to a 21.33 million cubic meters of medium-sized reservoir (between 10 million and 100 million is a medium-sized reservoir). Later, the largest Fenhe reservoir in Shanxi had a capacity of 700 million cubic meters. If used reasonably, it can fully meet the irrigation of 120,000 acres of land on the edge of the Great Wall of Sand Control. (http://.)。
As a comparison, Dujiangyan, the founder of the land of abundance, irrigated an area of 3 million mu in my Daqing Dynasty, do you think the Great Wall Reservoir for sand control is far from this number? That's wrong! The Great Wall Reservoir will use drip irrigation technology to drip water directly to the roots of crops, saving water several times, it can also integrate soil improvement technology into drip irrigation, adjust acidity and alkalinity, add humus (which can be obtained at a low price from black scum after dry heat treatment of food waste), and various fertilizers.
Roughly calculated, the output is several times higher, the economic value is several times higher, and the large-scale mechanized operation makes the labor cost 100 times lower. And that's not even counting its ecological value, where the grasslands are a little further away from the Great Wall, the grasslands can be revitalized and animal husbandry can grow slowly.
The Great Wall of Sand Control is a man-made wonder, here are vegetable gardens, gardens, orchards, using the largest regular cultivation in China, when the spring flowers bloom, the blue waves in midsummer, and the golden light in the autumn harvest, which is also a very beautiful scenery in the world, and the view above the Great Wall is vast, it can become a hot spot for tourism.
