Chapter 245 Automatic Universal Factory

After browsing these materials, Zhang Yuan's breathing sound gradually became solemn. He found that the so-called "full automatic universal factory" was actually an ultra-large 3D printer!

But this 3D printer has extremely powerful functions, combining multiple key technologies such as biology, information, and machinery, and can actually print tens of millions of parts!

Tens of millions!

Moreover, the printed parts have extremely high accuracy and output, and the marked parameters made Zhang Yuan stunned.

It is incredible that there are such powerful machines in the world!

It can even be said that the power of a machine is comparable to the cutting-edge productivity of all of their current humans, and it even exceeds a lot!

As if he saw his doubts, the leader Glitzer explained: "Please don't doubt that this is the peak of the second-level civilization in the universe, or even the technological product of the third-level civilization!"

"&According to our observation, although we don't know what technological level your mother civilization has reached, Ning's current industrial capabilities and technical means are still limited to the scope of first-level civilization..."

Zhang Yuan's heart beat hard. The leader of the Glitzer civilization may have deliberately revealed a small amount of common sense in cosmic sociology to mankind.

The game between the two sides has begun!

But he must not be stupid enough to ask about these common sense directly, otherwise the other party would think that these cosmic information is of transactional value, and maybe the lion would speak up...

He pretended to be very calm and said: "The factory is indeed very powerful in the description of these materials, and even used some biological means."

"But the current text description is not detailed enough. This transaction is of great importance. I hope to visit this universal factory in person. I wonder if it is convenient?"

The other party hesitated for a while, then nodded and replied: "This is OK, if you are not tired..."

The negotiations lasted for half a day, so that Zhang Yuan didn't even have time to sleep and visited the so-called "full-automatic universal factory" with great enthusiasm!

This behemoth is even larger than an aircraft carrier, about 300 meters in length, 120 meters in width, and a mass of 160,000 tons. It is located at the underground core of Goertek City, with a large number of robots and staff busy here.

There are also a large number of supporting factories, nuclear power plants, etc. around.

In other words, basically all living supplies in Goertek are produced in this industrial area.

"It looks like it's not...fake."

Zhang Yuan let out a heavy sigh.

The key point is that this machine is not entirely a metal device, but uses a large amount of biotechnology, using some organic matter and protein as its components. The advantage of this is that the sensing system is very powerful, has a certain self-repair ability, and can work for a long and stable manner.

"This is a technology tree that humans have never had." He was half surprised and half confused. He only wanted peaceful negotiations and never thought of signing such a large order...

Moreover, it was really strange that the other party wanted to sell this powerful machine.

"Oh, Mr. Gan Yaduo...I am frank, is this the subject of your transaction with the second interstellar civilization?"

“Yes, that’s true.”

"So I want to know, how should you maintain such a complex system?"

Zhang Yuan meant that such a huge machine could not require maintenance for 50,000 years.

How could Glitzer civilization maintain this thing?

Gan Yaduo said: "You don't have to worry about this problem. The core of the universal factory is a biological computer, which has a certain degree of self-repair ability. If there is no violent destruction, it will hardly require maintenance, and it will not be replaced for 50,000 years or 100,000 years."

"As for the rest of the mechanical parts, all we need to do is follow their artificial intelligence instructions and replace them regularly."

"AI?"

“Just just weak artificial intelligence, it can automatically detect locations that need maintenance.”

Zhang Yuan estimated it and hesitated a little: "But, just such a factory may not be enough...even if it adopts another main technology line."

This matter is really important, no matter how cautious it is, it is not an exaggeration.

And he is also estimating whether this transaction contains a trap...

For example, after occupying most of the human productivity, the other party suddenly came over; for example, if humans worked hard to build a spaceship, the other party regretted it, what should we do then?

After considering it, Zhang Yuan said: "It's not that this factory is not good, but your spacecraft requires that it can carry a population of tens of thousands...it takes us a long, long time. Moreover, a spacecraft itself contains huge technological content and can analyze many technologies..."

"You are wrong." Gan Yaduo defended: "The universal factory not only represents huge productivity, but also has a large amount of technological reserves in its database. This is the technological reserve of the peak second-level civilization. I think that relying solely on this information is enough to replace a star-level spacecraft."

"That depends on what these technological reserves are..."

Zhang Yuan was not simply confused and replied: "If the technology in the database is what we already have, the value of these technologies will be greatly reduced. And you know, for many technologies, there is no way to be compatible with each other... Even the different standards of screws will cause huge differences. At most, it can only be learned from it, not used directly."

"The industrial standards of our human civilization have basically taken shape, and it is impossible to change easily because of a universal factory... So how valuable the scientific and technological information in it is still to be discussed."

Of course, Zhang Yuan is just talking nonsense. He really wants to know what level the so-called peak of second-level civilization is and what kind of technology it has. As for many industrial standards, it is indeed impossible to compatible, but some scientific and technological ideas are of great significance even if they are just referenced.

In the following talks, Zhang Yuan inspected the capabilities of the so-called "universal factory" while sending relevant information to the Earth Age to report.

After some investigation, he believed that the probability of being a trap was very low. The other party had already exposed his core technology and he might have any problems that he wanted to ask humans for help.

This universal factory is really powerful and convenient. As long as you input some raw materials, you can produce a large number of parts. This incredible automation process made Zhang Yuan very jealous.

To give a simple example, if a new civilization is allowed to produce 6,000 centrifuges, it may take half a year, and a corresponding production line is required to be set up, and various manpower and material resources are required; and when using this universal factory, there is no need for a new production line. As long as you set the specific procedures in the computer, then put in the raw materials, the production of various parts may take only three months!

Although there are corresponding 3D printing technologies on the earth, there is far from comparing productivity and accuracy.

He even wanted to make the deal a little bit.

"The value of a universal factory is difficult to compare with a star-class spacecraft. So, why not study it and assemble another universal factory?"

Even ten units, one hundred units, one thousand units?

Even though the entire reverse engineering may be very difficult, Zhang Yuan still has some confidence in his engineers.

Moreover, it also includes biomechanics that humans rarely involve.

Of course, the difficulty is definitely quite high, and various messy biotechnology is not so easy to crack, otherwise these pangolins would not have thought of this.

"That is, is the so-called core, the production of biomechanical machinery more difficult? Or, there is no universal factory generation method in the database at all."
