Chapter 268 Water Research City
The great success of the water city also represents the perfect ending of the first phase of the Blue Ocean Project.
The Blue Ocean Project is a key project jointly developed by many research institutions of Spark Technology. It is not for the development of water cities, but for the exploration of the mysterious deep sea.
Aquatic cities are just an important platform built to explore the deep sea.
The water city has passed the verification of Blue Ocean City and the obtained data is optimized again. Spark Technology has launched the second phase of the Blue Ocean Project.
Spark Technology began to build a second water city in the Zhoushan Islands. It belongs to the water science research city and is mainly used for deep-sea scientific research.
On January 25, the construction of the Water Science and Technology City was completed in the Zhoushan Islands. Zhou Yu personally went to the Zhoushan Islands to inspect the situation of the Water Science and Technology City.
The general manager of the Water Science and Technology Expedition City is Huang Ke. He led the expert group of the Spark Technology Blue Ocean Project to take the Water Science and Technology Expedition City to explore the deep sea.
Zhou Yu climbed into Xinghuo Technology's own water city - the Water Science and Technology Expedition City.
The Aquatic Science and Technology City covers an area not as large as the Blue Ocean City. The Aquatic Science and Technology City is only 500 square kilometers, which is half the size of Blue Ocean City.
However, the Water Science and Technology City moves towards the Pacific Ocean, and its draft can reach 50 meters, and the buoyancy generated is much greater than that of the Blue Ocean City.
Huang Ke led Zhou Yu to visit the Water Science and Technology City. The buildings of the Water Science and Technology City are not much different from those of Lanhai City, but the materials are more high-end.
"Mr. Zhou, there are a total of 1,269 scientific researchers, 2,416 engineers and workers in our water science and technology city, and 859 logistics personnel.
Compared with ordinary scientific research ships, our water scientific research city can carry more personnel and equipment.
The Aquatic Science and Technology City covers an area of 500 square kilometers and can lay passive sonar arrays on it to explore the details of the 3,000-meter seabed underwater.
Even professional anti-submarine ships cannot do this, mainly because they cannot lay passive sonar arrays on a large scale.
Our main tool for exploring the deep sea is the deep sea submarine, which is an unmanned vehicle and is controlled through neutrino communication.
It can dive to the Mariana Trench, the deepest trench on Earth. The depth of this trench is 11,034 meters, and its depth is higher than Mount Everest on Earth.
Once any mechanical failure occurs in a deep-sea submarine, the factories in the Water Science and Technology City can also quickly repair the deep-sea submarine.
Even in emergencies, water scientific research ships have a lot of raw materials to store, and factories can urgently produce deep-sea submarines.
Any scientific research ship must be replaced with new equipment after its equipment is damaged and has no strength to repair it, let alone produce new equipment.
This is one of the most important features of our Aquatic Science Expedition City, and it is also an important reason why our Aquatic Science Expedition City surpasses the scientific research ship and can detect the deep sea.
As long as we have the materials, the factory in Water Science and Technology City produces the required products based on the complex situation of the deep seabed."
While Huang Ke introduced him, he took Zhou Yu to visit major institutions in the Water Science and Technology City.
The crucial machining center of the Water Science and Technology City, where high-precision intelligent industrial robots can make the machining accuracy of parts reach the nano-level.
By putting the two parts together, a natural waterproof layer can be formed, and there is no need for waterproofing treatment at all. This is the charm of nano-scale processing.
The laboratory and data analysts of the Blue Ocean Project scientists can directly contact the research center through the neutrino communication satellite to obtain support from the research center experts and artificial intelligence Xianghua.
After visiting, Zhou Yu asked: "Does our water science and technology city have unique technologies? I visited it and saw that the water science and technology city uses mature technologies."
"Our water science and technology city has its own unique technology, mainly new detection technology.
If a water science research city is to drive in the Pacific Ocean, unpredictable risks may occur. In order to reduce the probability of risks, most of the technologies used by our water science research city are mature technologies.
New technologies account for less than 3%, and most of them are used in areas where even if they are damaged, they will not have fatal effects, such as neutrino radar technology."
"Neutritous radar technology? Can neutrinos still make radar? It does not reflect when it hits an object, and it passes through it in a moment. How can it obtain the target's data?" Zhou Yu asked in confusion.
He has heard of quantum radar, which uses quantum technology to discover the trajectory of objects. It is a radar developed for stealth fighters.
I have never heard of neutrinos that can also be used as radar. The penetration power of neutrinos is extremely strong, and the earth cannot stop neutrinos, let alone other items.
"We not only made neutrino radars, but also one of the core equipment of the Aquatic Science and Technology City."
Huang Ke said proudly, and he also explained the principle of neutrino radar operation to Zhou Yu.
A scientist named Wenxin in the Neutral Nutrition Laboratory has participated in the development of a neutrino modulation trap.
The Neutrino Laboratory conducts neutrino-related experiments every day. Wen Xin found that its physical morphology has changed a little after capturing debugged neutrinos through a neutrino modem.
There is a frequency neutrino, whose speed changes after penetrating an object.
When passing through different types of objects, the speed changes are different.
Based on the characteristics of neutrinos at this frequency, Wen Xin developed a neutrino radar.
Just observe the state of the group of neutrinos in front of you, and you will know what material this group of neutrinos passes through.
Zhou Yu heard the specific principles of neutrino radar, and he said with relief: "I really didn't expect neutrinos to have such a purpose. Neutrino radar is similar to CT.
Neutrino radar can be simply regarded as scanning objects layer by layer, and it can indeed accurately depict the shape of objects.
There are many ways to observe particles running at high speeds now, which is indeed a very good detection method.”
"Mr. Zhou, the main purpose of this departure from the Aquatic Science and Technology City is to depict the mineral deposits under the sea and discover some strange objects under the sea.
The pressure on the seabed is very high, resulting in some extremely special minerals, such as minerals that are very widely used, such as manganese nodules.
The requirements for submarine mining are very high now, and there is no sovereignty on the high seas. Usually, whoever can get it will be the one who can get it." Huang Ke introduced the main purpose of this water science research city.
Zhou Yu agreed: "Sea minerals are very critical. Now the large-scale minerals that have been discovered on land are gradually exhausted.
Metal and non-metal minerals are the cornerstone of civilization. Before civilization can enter interstellar civilization, it has collected huge cosmic minerals.
Undersea minerals are the best way we can obtain now, not to mention that undersea minerals have complex types and many special minerals.
This is an important resource. If we do not use our technological advantages to exploit them now, many countries will compete with us in the future.”
