The worries brought by "The Grand View" are about the distant future, and at this moment, human beings are still fighting for their own survival.

In January of xx25, another good tool came on the stage.

Unlike the weapons, equipment and equipment in front, this time it is simply serving the surface industry.

Feng's programmable multi-function assembly machine.

This Feng family is a big shot in the industry in G country. Feng is not his surname, but his middle name aristocratic a hundred years ago. After his team started to spread alien knowledge, they chose a unique route and imitate it.

What is copied is not the equipment in the game, but some ideas. The Feng-style assembly machine takes a multi-functional route similar to the production equipment in the game.

Due to the technical level, it is impossible to cover the scope of food, fuel, and industrial finished products in the game. After learning some relevant alien theory knowledge, it was decided to put the target standard on the assembly line.

The assembly lines of modern industrial often occupy a complex system that occupies an entire factory and conveyor belts are divided into several layers. However, if you do not pursue production capacity, you can actually do it very small.

For example, Fatty Happy Water, its production line is a modern industry standard version, because it is followed up and improved at any time, allowing its products to ignore currency depreciation and maintain the same price for decades, but with the improvement, the production line becomes more and more complex.

What if I just make an aluminum can carbonic acid liquid? It is about the size of two vending machines, which is enough to accommodate all aspects such as stamping aluminum tubes, coloring aluminum cans, canned liquid, and capping.

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

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

The idea of ​​Feng's assembly machine is to make only one at a time, with the purpose of making this machine possible to make many kinds of things.

Choosing this technical route has proved the vision of Feng's team. At that time, they had already seen that if the monster crisis did not disappear magically, the existing industrial system would inevitably collapse. Under such a background, output is no longer the first priority, but should be "can be created".

After more than a year of precipitation, after receiving investment from countries C and Western Central China in the middle of last year, it accelerated and 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, and is compatible with sixteen parts screening and moving modes, stamping modules, rolling modules, paint and paint modules, etc. It can realize circuit board assembly and welding, ammunition assembly, metal plate assembly and welding functions.

It has achieved so many functions, but its size is not large. It is made into a standard container and can even be compatible with trains and dock cranes. When transferring, it can be towed away as a container.

Of course, it is impossible to have any shortcomings.

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 ensures processing accuracy. Secondly, the threshold for use is a bit high. When changing the manufacturing products, you need a very professional person, at least a mechanical engineer and a program engineer. The complexity of the system is generally unaware of; because of the high complexity, maintenance also requires a very professional person; finally, it sacrifices the size of the finished workpiece for portability, and can only output things the size of a plastic stool at most.

It has many selling points, and its main customer positioning is places that need rapid reconstruction and some areas that can be seen far away.

The so-called far-reaching view is actually the last line of defense that Country C is promoting, with power generation and part of production capacity within a small range.

In fact, this is not only recommended by Country C, but other regions are dominated by consortiums and universities. The officials in many places are completely hindering their hindsight.

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

G The industrial concentration areas in China were ruined by monsters before. Now they need production capacity in all aspects, and they can’t create so many. In desperation, they can only return the authorization fee and authorize production in other areas.

Assembly is not a particularly important link in the entire industrial chain. It was labor-intensive in the early years. Feng's assembly machine still has a bit of a target for the blank market.

However, Feng's contribution to the "minified industrial chain" market that has only become popular recently is extremely popular. Because of his leadership, since they received investment last year, other companies have begun to tinker with similar projects one after another.

C country itself also ended up and directly gave some information on the factory model used by Yuegong to several official enterprises, and they carried out subsequent market-oriented transformation and design.

In fact, these companies themselves are involved in the design and production of Yuegong Factory, and some of the information is already in hand.

But then again, it is not that easy to move this space device back to the surface.

Let me mention the glass workshop mentioned earlier.

There is no air on the moon surface, and the vacuum is not always good. When liquid water is needed, the vacuum is the killer. A completely vacuum-free open environment, even if the liquid water is only a few degrees Celsius, it will always boil. Therefore, the entire factory equipment is a closed environment. The tin solution as the bottom liquid of the flat glass will not be oxidized and contaminated, and the process is much less than that of the ground.

When you reach the surface, you must remove the complete airtightness, which greatly increases the cost, especially the inlet and outlet parts that need to maintain airtightness, which is really not something that ordinary manufacturers can do. Giving up airtightness requires corresponding means of removing oxide layers. Engineers need to do how to balance and choose between them.

In addition, all the heat at the Yuegong factory is strictly controlled. Because it is very likely that the heat will be discharged now, and the moon will have to consume additional electricity to add the heat back at night. A large amount of heat will be stored in the form of high-pressure water vapor of hundreds of degrees. The shell of the surface factory will not naturally cool down to more than minus 100 degrees, so there is no need to be so particular.

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

Yuegong Factory, as a key project, design, verification and other materials for space sustainable projects, has more than 20,000 senior engineers involved in the construction of verification equipment and subsequent testing and debugging. Those are the kind of treasure technicians in the factory and are not easily borrowed.

Now, as a subsidiary branch project of several companies, even if it is urgent, it has joined forces with two friendly companies. In a short period of time, only two or three hundred people can be invested in a sub-project. The loss is a reverse improvement. If it starts from scratch, no one dares to release the timetable.

Their mission was only received in August last year. The prototype was just released in January and it still needed a series of tests. Maybe it would have to be modified during the process. The metallurgical chain was slower. I wonder if it could be done before the third-level monster appeared.

Assuming that monsters can cooperate slightly, don’t interrupt the process of miniaturization of the industrial chain. After this year, you can achieve self-sufficiency in some cities with better natural resource conditions next year in some cities with better natural resources.

In this new industry, although the official enterprises in C have several projects, the main force is still private companies. At the national level, C does not intend to list it as a key strategy.

The main contradiction is still a production capacity issue. The production capacity of the miniaturized industrial chain can only barely prevent the city from regressing its technical level. It is completely unrealistic to provide material assistance to the space system based on cities.

Even if we don’t talk about the industrial chain, we only talk about people.

Studies have shown that disaster victims and refugees who receive foreign aid for a long time will experience structural civilization regression and education will be reduced to zero in just 20 or 30 years.

On the other hand, production and commercial activities are essential and important links to maintain modern civilization. Once missing, human beings will enter an irreversible decline and move from civilization to ignorance.

The miniaturized industrial chain plays an anchor for a civilization stage here, at least maintaining the urgent need for high-end talents and not neglecting education.

Due to the limitations of raw materials, production capacity, and the miniaturized industrial chain cannot replace the power of large-scale industries after the global industrial chain is disconnected, and at most it can only maintain the renovation and maintenance capabilities of home appliances, electric vehicles, and buildings in cities, and the coverage rate cannot be guaranteed.

In short, with the current technological level, the miniaturization of the industrial chain is only a beneficial supplement to the later stages of the global disaster, and is not a replacement for the global industrial chain.

Officials with a more comprehensive understanding of the global industrial chain will only focus on a few key points for the post-disaster era.

The first is the nuclear material supply system mentioned earlier, which is constructed in collaboration with global self-sufficiency cities.

The second is food processing. The food processing here refers to vacuum-packaged dehydrated meat foods that are supplied to the space system.

Mainly considering that the existing space facilities are too low in gravity, the highest gravity is the Kunpeng Space Station with only 0.3g, but the Kunpeng Space Station itself has to rely on the Yue Palace to deliver mineral supplies. Animal Husbandry cannot have any hope in the short term. Meat will become one of the most scarce materials in space in the post-disaster era.

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

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

Launch vehicles are one of the crown jewels of industry. The only ones that can compare with them are aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and fission nuclear bombs, which are somewhat different.

If you want to integrate all production links of launch vehicles 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 to build nuclear fuel. Nuclear fuel is just a "ceramic" with relatively complex components, but the global industrial distribution is relatively scattered.

The so-called manufacturing capability is more about maintaining the expectation of relatively comprehensive material production and processing capabilities. It is hard to expect that the industrial chain will be kept 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 human use of alien materials and technologies. They have always had recycling systems, but they are not suitable for use in post-disaster times.

The existing recycling is divided into two parts.

First of all, the first-stage rocket. This thing falls back and will try to do it as well when calculating the orbit, and basically falls into the sea. Because the fuel tanks are empty, they will float up after they fall into the sea and be recycled by the ship.

Another part of the upper class, spacecraft, etc., is designed to fall back to the grassland and Gobi areas and is recycled by vehicles and armed escort troops.

To cope with the needs of the post-disaster era, we now require designing a first-stage rocket that can safely fall back to the grassland.

This not only involves the structure of the first-stage rockets, which requires installation of positioning, deceleration, landing devices, and even the orbital ballistics need to be adjusted to ensure that they fall back to the grassland area. When it comes to orbit adjustments, it may make the rockets heavier, one by one, one by one, and become more and more complicated. If you don’t do it now, in the post-disaster era, humans may not be able to do it.

As for subsequent transportation, it is not a big deal for Country C. Rockets without fuel are not heavy. At most, the engine will be removed and transported separately by large transport aircraft or load-load helicopters.
