Chapter 685: International Space Station

Industrial production has developed from stupid and stupid step by step research to precision, which is a gradual and refined replacement process of parts.

In the dust-free and constant temperature factory, under the guidance of the wireless information of intelligent AI, each industrial manipulator is deployed in strict accordance with one action, and every industrial gear on this production line is silver and smooth like a mirror.

If there is no intelligent AI in the correction, the automated machinery is actually quite good, when the automatic machinery does not fail, it can be fully automatic operation according to the set program, but after all, it is a machine, and the action of the machinery in each operation will weakly deviate from the original set trajectory, this deviation can not be seen in the initial stage, but with the continuous production, the increase in the number of uses, every once in a while the instrument must be manually adjusted and corrected.

It seems that the number of workers used in automated machinery is smaller, but the quality of workers who are relatively needed has become higher; The workers who debug and correct the automated machinery are not those workers who only need to sell physical strength, but must have a certain amount of wisdom.

The automated factory seems to have liberated the labor force, and the original intention is good, after all, it frees people from tedious and boring work; But for business owners, it's not so good.

After all, in the past, exploitation could be carried out without scruples, overtime deductions for wages, etc., and workers could not resist, if they resisted, then there were many people without jobs; But now it's different, the number of workers used is reduced, but the importance is the same, in the past, you can exploit as much as you want, but now, a high-level skilled worker can determine the productivity of this automated production line, and in turn can threaten capital.

After all, high-level skilled workers are actually in short supply after the gradual popularization of automation.

In this world, productivity has progressed to an incredible level in just a few years, and now the complexity of science and technology is so complex that even smart people cannot understand all the technologies.

Now the world's biotechnology has actually gradually reached the eve of greatly improving the ability of the human brain, which is also due to Yang Yi's work on the popularization of longevity genes, and the disclosure of most of the test records to the scientific community, of course, there are reasons to eliminate concerns.

On this basis, the United States and other countries have conducted secondary research in an attempt to completely unlock the code of human immortality, not just a few more decades of life.

This is one of the countermeasures carried out by the United States when space science and technology are one step behind, after all, there are so many mysteries of the human body, and it may be possible to realize the reality of "superman" with technology.

Spider-Man is here, how far can Superman go?

In the name of freedom, with the support of capital, all kinds of research, without regard for respect and prudence for life itself, are likely to lead to unpredictable consequences.

It may be possible to lead to a Resident Evil.

On the other hand, the research carried out by the SCO member states has been very steady, and instead of directly attacking the brain, the eyes have been selected for the most preliminary research, and the eyes are the most important channels for the human brain to receive information among the five senses.

It is difficult to make a memory that does not belong to you appear in the brain from the current scientific and technological means, but it is technically more reliable than directly transforming the brain to allow the optic nerve to directly see the information on the device.

The eye is the strongest information receiving organ of the human brain, and the hand is the strongest information output organ of the human brain. If it is strengthened in these two aspects, it is the "hand and eye to the sky" that human beings hope to reach.

……

Space is still very busy, many parts of the planet are in a perennial no-fly period, aviation-related businesses are operating poorly, and now airlines basically have to go through all kinds of cumbersome applications to pass through a certain airspace.

Aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus have also suffered unjustified disasters, and their shares have been cut in half from their peak, and it seems that this is not the end.

There are not many countries on earth that have the ability to launch rockets, and because of this, they have all fallen into a busy period, almost all of them have not stopped, heading towards space.

At the Tianzhou Launch Center, a large rocket was launched into the sky during a space vehicle launch mission to the International Space Station (SCO), which carried some supplies and parts from the space station that needed to be replaced, in addition to some new astronauts.

The number of people on the International Space Station (SCO) in space is now close to four figures, and the requirements for astronauts have been further reduced after the improvement of ecological simulation technology, which is also related to the overall improvement of human quality.

The increase in life span by several decades is actually just a collateral effect of the entire longevity gene, and it is more appropriate to call it "life evolution" as a whole, because human beings do not evolve and cannot afford to spend more than a few decades of life.

The radiation that could not be tolerated in the past has now been increased by dozens of times, so there are many explorers on the earth who carry out polar adventures.

On the other hand, there are hundreds of times more candidates for some jobs that require extremely high physical fitness.

Being an astronaut is undoubtedly an extremely high job, but the degree of danger is also extremely high, and it is possible to die in the event of a crisis on Earth, but in space, most of the dangers are lifeless.

Now, the probability of survival has been greatly increased, but only that, there are still not too many astronauts in reality, and the bottleneck of the restriction is the supply of materials.

After all, even if it is on the moon, it is impossible for black technology to carry out base farming, not to mention that there are countless meteorites that fly from unknown places, which cannot be detected by radar on the earth.

And now that the technology of the ecosystem has been lit up, and the laser defense system has entered practical use, it can be regarded as the first step towards the real conquest of the universe.

Compared with NATO, the SCO member states of the economic circle radiating the entire planet have been in a low state in terms of military spending, but their investment in space is ten times that of the other side, which has increased the size of the International Space Station (SCO).

NATO has gradually realized some economic cooperation from military cooperation, but most of them are still half-hearted, and they basically have the attributes of grass on the wall, even the leader of the United States, so we can't blame the younger brothers for not doing their best.

Americans naturally don't want to fall behind, but if they really fall behind, they don't actually care, after all, it's only been glorious for less than 20 years.

After the end of the three phases of World War I and World War II and the Cold War, the United States became the hegemon for a short time, but it was not too young before it was overtaken by China.

The space vehicle was sent into space, under the control of intelligent AI, near the now extremely large International Space Station (SCO), today's space station is actually not a whole, but is divided into three layers, the outermost defense layer, mainly to deal with meteorite attacks, the second layer is the main activity area, scientific research energy conversion part of the reserve material library and so on are in this layer.

The core layer is the biosphere and rest area, and some reserve materials are also placed, and this is also where the quantum communication host connected to the ground is located.

The success of quantum communication has also made the connection between the entire space station and the earth not intermittent as in the past, and the cost is huge, and now all personnel working in the space station can enjoy unlimited communication services and unlimited Internet services.

Because of the proximity to the host, the network smoothness is even far greater than that of most communication devices on the earth.

The outer interception is a shield-shaped aircraft called "Guardian", which is defended by laser destruction and aircraft impact, so the surface of some aircraft is somewhat damaged, but it is being restored.

Most of the meteorites carry the materials they need, so they are taken locally, processed piece by piece, and then repaired with laser-cut alloy aerospace metal sheets.

The second-generation mecha of the starry sky was released not long ago, but there are many in the International Space Station (SCO), the second-generation mecha of the starry sky, the flight function has been increased, and the weapon has been replaced by a high-energy laser, which has made great progress compared with the first generation as a whole, and has replaced many weapons in all aspects such as defense and attack environment adaptation, becoming a new generation of "king of war".

It is said that the cost is also extremely high, and it is revealed that the cost of a pair is about 50 million, so the Star has only installed 200 units in Sulawesi, and there are a large number of simple models, which are versions with reduced performance in all aspects.

On the space station, they are not castrated, and here, this generation of mecha seems to have a place to use.

Behind the first layer of the space station, there is a closed area in the shape of a cannon barrel, which is an energy wireless relay station, whether it is a "guardian" of active defense, but the mecha that is active to check the situation has limited energy reserves and needs energy supply.

Now the entire space station is very intelligent, and there are small cameras flying everywhere, either providing projection functions or communication functions, just like a super sci-fi style.

"Sir, you will enter the limited security area, please pause communication before entering!"

This time, there is an engineer from the United States who went to space, and this is one of the people who has passed the review in the Star Group's global talent recruitment.

The review of the starry sky is extremely cumbersome, in the early stage through big data testing, manual review, issued a job offer, if both parties are satisfied, give work, and then there is an observation period of up to half a year to a year.

After that, we can get in touch with more core jobs, and only then will we open up core positions, such as astronauts and the International Space Station (SCO), which undoubtedly have a lot of secrets, and it is not impossible for hostile organizations to send dead soldiers, although they have a complete plan for all kinds of crises.

"The AI reminded me, we'll talk ...... later"

Howard tentatively scheduled a chat with his wife, and his front was blocked by a metal door with several areas on the door that displayed "Confidential Zone, No Photography", "Confidential Zone, No Recording", "Confidential Zone, No Noise......

Howard, who had boarded the International Space Station (NATO) a few years ago, was not much uncomfortable, and the current space station (SCO) is much better than that, and most of the areas have achieved simulated gravity, although not exactly the same as on Earth, but it is also much better than the gravityless environment.

What's more, the physical fitness is much better now, and all kinds of diseases, whether genetic or personal, have disappeared naturally.

Following the instructions, Howard stopped the communication, then looked at what appeared to be a camera location on the door and said "Request passage."

He speaks Chinese well, after all, he is also a language genius, he does not need to go through a translator, he knows a lot of languages, although he has this talent, but he did not eat with talent, but became a good engineer.

Of course, this is also his luck, because most of the translators have lost their jobs, and only the best ones are still able to work in certain positions.

"Post maintenance engineer, after the test is completed, it is allowed to pass"

The metal door opened, and Howard walked in, he was a little uncomfortable, it was different from what he had thought, the working environment didn't seem to be much different from the earth, if the rest area was the same, then it was quite a good job, like a business trip.

But the salary conditions are completely different, although both husband and wife are high-paid, but after all, there are two children, although the benefits of the job are also quite good, but the consumption of the family is also very worrying.

Moreover, the two of them also plan to buy a house in Shanghai, which requires a huge amount of money, for the two high-paid scientists, if they are more frugal, it can still be completed, and the Shanghai market also has corresponding subsidies for their husband and wife.

However, for activities that consume a lot of money, such as going to concerts and participating in comic convention tours, even if the salary is high, it is actually not enough to buy a house.

Therefore, when Howard opened up the position of space station maintenance engineer to him, he resolutely decided to go on a business trip to the space station for half a year, compared with the work on the ground, the salary is five times higher, and there is also a certain amount of subsidies.

"Welcome, Mr. Howard."

"Hello, Dr. Lin Aiguo."

Naturally, someone came to greet the newcomer, which has gone through some communication on the ground, and Howard is not Shelton, and he is not good at handling interpersonal relationships, of course, some aspects may make the opposite sex uncomfortable, but this is not too obvious after marrying a wife and having children.
