Chapter 1121 The Boundary at the End of the Century

A total of 500 volunteers from various member states have joined the Earth Fleet, which is still being formed. Among them, China, Russia, and Germany account for 70%, and the remaining 30% are mostly from South Asia.

These volunteers will receive three months of training at the Anga Island Astronaut Training Center, currently recognized as the largest and most professional astronaut training base in the world, to learn the basic knowledge that astronauts should have to adapt to space. combat environment.

These 500 volunteers are only the first wave. In the next year, each member country will successively send a total of 5,000 volunteers based on the allocated quotas to provide blood and oxygen to the nascent Earth Fleet.

After settling the five hundred volunteers and saying hello to Wu Changfeng, Jiang Chen left the astronaut training center. Instead of returning directly to the Futureman Building on Coro Island, he drove to the High-tech Park and went to the Futureman Heavy Industries factory.

After the power export agreement was negotiated with Hua Guodian last time, the Minister of Transportation of China made a trip to New Zealand. After learning about the cost of transforming the maglev highway, he immediately submitted a petition to Jiang Chen to introduce maglev vehicle technology. .

Although Jiang Chen agreed at that time, Futureren Heavy Industries had been dealing with the transformation of the maglev road network on several other islands besides Coro Island and Anga Island, and the production capacity was not enough to develop overseas markets. Now that the last island has been renovated, Future Heavy Industries can finally free up its hands to digest the mountain of overseas orders.

After arriving at Future Heavy Industries' factory, CEO Yang Guanglei took Jiang Chen around the factory and showed him the newly built magnetic levitation device production line.

"This new production line is our attempt at an automation project. It uses supercomputers to coordinate various production links. From production, processing, assembly to final delivery, everything is completed by machinery. Except for a few engineers responsible for maintenance and debugging of the production line , it can be said that this production line has become completely unmanned!”

When he said this, Yang Guanglei had a very proud expression on his face.

This is not a steel ingot or bullet production line, but a high-tech product that includes hundreds of processing links!

From the engraving of the graphene circuit board to the assembly of the magnetic levitation generation device, the operation is completely completed by automated machinery. If this automation technology can be promoted simultaneously in other fields, it will undoubtedly have a great significance for the future of heavy industry to increase production capacity and save costs.

Although the current development focus of Futureren Heavy Industries is mainly on the aerospace field, it has never fallen behind in the civilian field. After all, for troubled social animals like humans, economic benefits are often the driving force behind technological progress. And history has also proved that technological breakthroughs often start in the civilian field.

"Approximately how many magnetic levitation devices can be produced per month?" Looking at the dark square pyramidal iron piles passing by the assembly line, he asked.

Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Yang Guanglei and asked.

"With sufficient raw materials, the monthly output can reach 100,000 pieces!"

One hundred thousand pieces, already stronger than the Sixth District.

Hearing this number, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Chu Nan had started to promote the maglev highway in the Sixth District a long time ago. At that time, Jiang Chen also learned that the factory responsible for producing this maglev device only had 50% automation of the production line.

He had no way of knowing the production efficiency before the war, but it must not have been too far off.

Many times Jiang Chen had the feeling that the Future People Group in his hands was like a silkworm baby, bit by bit eating away at the technology he brought back from the 22nd century, spitting out white and strong silk threads one by one. .

One day, the silk will merge into a cocoon.

One day, it will break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly.

Among the remains of the apocalyptic civilization, the future human group will give birth to new glory and bring the world to a more prosperous and beautiful direction.

But now, Jiang Chen had vaguely "seen" the prototype of that cocoon, and his hand had even faintly touched the boundary of the 22nd century.

At least in the timeline of the three-pole world at the end of the world, until 2170 before the war, colonizing Mars was still just an infancy dream. However, at the hands of the Star Ring Trade, the Mars colony has begun its second round of expansion.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's thoughts about the future were interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone.

The call was from Ye Qinghua.

Clicking on the holographic screen, Jiang Chen made a wait gesture to Yang Guanglei, walked to the side and pressed the connect button.

"Uncle Ye? What's the matter?" Jiang Chen smiled.

Since the last Outer Space Development Forum, Ye Qinghua has stayed with Xinguo. Although he has retired from his position, he is no different from an idler, but no one can ignore him and the influence of the Ye family behind him in China's political arena.

The reason why he stayed here largely explained the official attitude of China, which still valued Xinguo, a natural ally.

"Haha, Mr. Jiang is too outspoken. Can't you make a phone call if nothing happens?" Ye Qinghua said in a half-joking tone.

"That's not true." Jiang Chen chuckled and said.

Although Mr. Ye usually had little communication with him, he knew very well that this old guy was not idle all day long. If Aisha hadn't woken him up, he wouldn't have known that Mr. Ye had actually moved his family next door to his parents' house.

It's not just about moving here. Every day, this old guy either sits outside the door with his dad and Mr. Xia and plays chess, or occasionally goes out to sea to fish for seafood.

It just so happened that the Ye family started in the Jiangnan area, and strictly speaking, they were fellow villagers. Meeting fellow villagers in a foreign country, the old people were naturally very enthusiastic, and Mr. Ye quickly integrated into Jiang Jianguo's circle.

Jiang Chen didn't know what his intention was in getting so close to his father, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Normally, he only went back to his parents' house to have a meal and rarely talked about work, so Mr. Ye couldn't find out anything.

As long as Mr. Ye doesn't sell his hard-to-maintain granddaughter to his father, everything will be fine.

"That's right. I heard that the construction of the maglev highway that you and the Ministry of Transportation are discussing will start in a month or two?"

By coincidence, I happened to be here to inspect the production status, so his call came at the right time.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Is your Ye family still interested in infrastructure construction?"

"Hehe, it's all the juniors who are fooling around there." He said with a smile. There was no hint of nonsense in Mr. Ye's words.

"I'll tell you the truth. The maglev highway reconstruction project is not that big, and the technical content is not very high. We just need a pile driver to drive our magnetic piles into the highway foundation." Jiang Chen chuckled. said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mr. Ye quickly said: "Then look at this..."

Jiang Chen interrupted him with a smile, and then said, "The key is not with us, but with you. We are just suppliers, and the ones responsible for bidding for route changes are the Ministry of Transportation and the local Provincial Department of Transportation. If you have that Of course we have no objection to energy getting the project done.”

"Haha, you can rest assured now. We have taken care of the Ministry of Transportation and the Provincial Department of Transportation. Now we are waiting for you to start shipping, and we can start construction over there." Mr. Ye laughed. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
