Chapter 167: Focus on the Future (Part 1)
10 at night
In a mechanical field with an area of nearly 2 square kilometers located near the 10-kone metal city, a large number of robotic arms are working carefully. In front of them is a huge behemoth, like an insect with many legs.
Noah is debugging the data on the light and shadow screen. The Pioneer 6 is about to be completed. All the internal core construction has been completed. Now it only needs to continue to reinforce everything on the outside and conduct multiple rounds of actual tests. , after getting all reliable data, you can set sail.
In less than a month, this octagonal carrier spacecraft with a length of 800 meters and a width of 800 meters is about to be completed, and the staffing has been completed. It is a relatively ideal plan.
After the actual operation, some slight adjustments will be made according to the situation. Noah has thought of everything and is going to the center of the Pacific Ocean, which is about 15,000 kilometers away. If it is a safe flight, it will only take about 10 days.
After finding the light and shadow material, the maximum weight that the carrier can bear is 30 million tons. If it is full, the speed of the carrier will be greatly affected, and it can only move slowly at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Forward.
You may encounter the influence of those humanoids on the road, but the route has been delineated several times before. Although there will be some changes, all the humanoids within 20 kilometers of the route must be cleared away.
Tang Rao was also following the mission this time, and Tang Rao was able to escort them when they came back. Tang Rao's perception ability could maximize the detection of plant-like plants on the route, and then Jean would quickly go over and clean them out.
Once 30 million tons of light and shadow material are transported back, it will be enough for the city to use within the next 100 years. If a larger amount is added, the artificial sun can completely cover the barrier area for 50 years.
Most of the data needs to be debugged by Noah himself and calibrated based on the field data obtained during the past few searches for supplies.
This petal-shaped carrier will directly atomize the light and shadow material after finding it, and then condense it into a corpse. It is continuously pressurized and polymerized, which can make the density of the light and shadow material extremely high.
For the sake of stability, the middle carrying compartment is closed, and the light and shadow materials will not be exposed to the air like before. In this way, a lot of light and shadow materials will be lost over time.
Noah has also heard about the recent events, but he has nothing to do with it. Now he must ensure that the carrier ship can set sail smoothly. Time is very tight, and it must set sail before the meeting with the Sky International Space Country.
It may take more than two months for the carrier ship to return, which is too long for Brilliant City. The establishment of the agricultural base in the barrier area urgently needs sunlight, but there is not enough light and shadow material now, so Noah does not plan to take this risk. , because there is no chance for trial and error.
At this time, the door of the room behind Noah opened and Gene walked in.
"How's it going Noah!"
"Don't worry, principal. You can start the test in up to ten days, and the test can be completed in up to three days. You can set sail on the fourteenth day."
Jean took out a cigarette, lay down on the guardrail, and looked at the carrier ship. All the scenes in the past were in his mind, except for the memory of eight months. This was a problem that Jean could not figure out for the time being. .
"Principal, those behemoths in the ocean are still a big threat, but the maximum height of this carrier ship cannot exceed 2,000 meters. Once it exceeds, it will be affected by the adsorption magnetic field."
"It's safe to worry. I have a lot of experience this time, and with Tang Rao here, I can know the danger in advance, so there should be no problems."
"I hope so."
Noah said and glanced at Gene. He was really leisurely now, which was impossible in the past.
"Are you really not going to care about the city's current problems, principal?"
Jean shook his head.
"Now is the time for young people. I have retired, hopefully forever."
Noah laughed, and there was an alarm sound. Noah immediately called up another light and shadow screen and looked at the wrong part. After quickly identifying the situation, he continued to adjust the values.
"By the way, aren't you going to see Alpha?"
Noah laughed.
"It's best not to let her see me like this. I don't plan to have anything to do with her anymore. After all, I can't get along with her anymore."
Jean smiled helplessly, and he exhaled a puff of smoke softly. The big problems that have appeared one after another recently really shocked Jean, but Jean did not interfere. These things were done in a way that Jean seemed absolutely uncomfortable. solved in possible ways.
So now Gene is relieved that the future has begun to change and everything will be fine.
"By the way, the old man who was the first to receive mechanical and biochemical modification can be discharged from the hospital today."
Noah hummed.
"Don't worry, the principal will be fine. This technology is already too mature. Fortunately, that Huashen guy agreed to include mechanical medicine in the medical school's curriculum. Now this technology is completely mature."
Noah saw the worry in Gene's eyes and he laughed.
"If you're not worried, go and have a look now, principal."
After putting out his cigarette, Gene smiled, turned around and walked to the door.
"I won't go. I'll go check on their situation."
After watching Gene leave, Noah was a little helpless, because he knew Gene's worries. After all, this was not a small fight. If there was one, there had to be two, and they had to be connected to make everything successful.
As long as the transformation of these elderly people who had no one to rely on could be completed, then the elderly people in the city who had lost their labor force and were suffering from illness would gradually respond. At present, the number of elderly people in the city is about to exceed 8 million.
This is an extremely terrifying number, and in the next 20 years, this number will rise to about 15 million. Most of the elderly will lose their labor force, which is undoubtedly a huge damage to the city.
However, mechanical biochemical transformation can completely control the problem of an aging society. These transformed elderly people only need extremely low consumption to survive. Noah had calculated a long time ago that an elderly person who was full of illness and had no labor force would need at least 100 yuan a day to meet all his needs and let this elderly person continue to live.
However, after the transformation, except for the brain, which needs nutrition, other mechanical parts are not needed, and many mechanical parts are constructed by biomaterials, which have a long service life.
This technology has developed rapidly after Le Wen entered the 10th department. It has completely gotten rid of the past practice of using metal to build human bodies. The lifespan of biological materials exceeds 5 years, and the technical cost does not need to be calculated at all, because the current mature technology can make this material and produce it quickly.
This is a huge benefit, and it is not troublesome to replace. According to the corresponding calculations of various aspects, the cost of a body constructed by this biological material may be less than 20 yuan a day.
However, the value of the elderly who have restored their labor force is far more than 20 yuan a day. As long as this transformation technology can be promoted, the future city will have a very bright future.
Although the transformation surgery varies from person to person, it only needs to continuously coordinate the surgery in various aspects to make doctors more and more familiar with this process, and the speed can be improved.
According to Noah's expectation, at the fastest speed, all the transformation processes can be completed in about five days, and the normal discharge can be carried out. At the maximum limit of one day, 500 to 600 such transformation surgeries should be performed.
As long as the operation has collected a huge amount of data, AIs can replace doctors to complete part of the operation. The efficiency of this operation can be instantly improved. In the end, Noah wants to achieve more than 3,000 people a day.
In this way, the city can have a steady stream of labor. Noah's current focus is on the elderly in the barrier area. When the time is right, Section 10 will launch this biochemical mechanical transformation. As long as the people in the barrier area are willing to accept the transformation, they can officially obtain the citizenship of the city after the transformation.
In Noah's view, the future prospects are really too good. The most critical point is that when Noah began to design the body, he left a lot of interfaces that can be directly connected to light and shadow materials. This is to facilitate the loading of weapons and flight systems, including AI combat systems, for these mechanical biochemical transformation people.
This is the policy that Noah set at the beginning. Hua Shen mainly opposed this point, using these transformed people as weapons, but there is no way. If there is a drastic change one day, those plant-like and biological creatures outside the barrier attack, it will be difficult to fully solve them by relying on the behavior department alone.
That's why Noah proposed such a method. In the end, it all succeeded, and the way of success made Noah unable to figure it out. It was too accidental. It was Le Xiao who pushed this point.
In Noah's view, once a breakthrough is opened, it will continue to expand, especially for creatures like humans. There are still voices of opposition in the city, but it is obvious that these voices will disappear.
Because it is the habit of most people to focus on the present, the first old man who has been transformed has used the type III life vaccine. According to personal genetic conditions, it can extend the life of up to 100 years, and it will be longer for mutants.
At this time, a call came, and Noah immediately turned on the light and shadow screen. He smiled and looked at Noah in the video, and the two of them gave thumbs up from a distance.
The old man in the video is already doing various things such as moving and calculating, and there is no problem at all. The reason why most people's brains become dull is because of aging. In fact, the most important reason is that the brain is dragged down by the abnormality of the body. Every day, they deal with physical pain, so the brain will age rapidly, and finally people will become more and more dull.
But now it is different. With a young and energetic body and updated brain cells, this old man used to be a supermarket salesman. He now remembers a lot of things, and can skillfully use some machines, and his hands and feet are extremely flexible.
This body can carry 500-600 kilograms of things without any problem, and the speed can also exceed that of ordinary people. Noah took a look and found that the old man ran 7.1 seconds in the actual test of 100 meters.
This has greatly exceeded the limit of human beings. Although mutants can be faster, reaching less than 5 seconds, this is just a 130-year-old man, and the high jump can reach a height of 4 meters, which greatly exceeds the limit of normal people.
"Everything is successful, and everyone will know tomorrow."
Noah said in the video, and Noah clapped his hands.
"Good luck, our cause will be understood by people one day."
After the video call ended, Noah's hanging heart relaxed.
"Everything will be fine tomorrow."
Now Noah is extremely excited. Tonight, those old people who have signed the agreement and are willing to undergo transformation will enter the medical school and undergo various physical numerical examinations. They can accept it without waiting for people to see the actual results. Transformation, completely away from the torture of illness.
The old people who have no ability to work, but have to endure pain and torture every day and live a difficult life, what they desire most is youth, and this biochemical mechanical transformation should be welcomed by the old people.
Now there are some guys in the family who are inquiring about the transformation through the council members. They will be the next batch of body transformers for the elderly in the city.
In order to make them more normal, Noah plans to install artificial skin bags for them that look like they were when they were young. This will be more realistic and can even help them install some things that the human body normally needs.
This will also need to be tested in stages. Once successful, people in the city will flock to this renovation project, and the city can be transformed more quickly.
The real mechanization era will come subtly. Although some people have expected it, no one can stop it. The real mechanization era has begun.
Those who are still clamoring for human rights will soon lose their voices.
11:39
Le Xiao pressed her dizzy head and sat in the cafeteria of the General Affairs Department. Looking at the various instructions that would be given to the whole city tomorrow, she still felt a little unsure. After all, she was still worried about whether the old man who had completed the transformation tomorrow was normal.
A bottle of wine was put over, and the head chef came out with the dishes.
"Master Le Xiao, please eat early and go to bed early. There won't be anything important tomorrow morning."
Le Xiao hummed, unscrewed the wine bottle, took a big gulp, and then started eating and drinking, when Wu Lei came over.
"Do you really think it's okay? Mechanical and biochemical modification."
Le Xiao blinked and said.
"What's the problem? Anyway, as long as those old people have hope now, no matter what the problem is, we'll talk about it later. Come have a drink with me!"
Wu Lei could only smile helplessly, take off his hat, and ask the chef to bring another bottle of wine. He knew very well that this girl didn't think about what would happen in the future.
