Specialized Technology
Over the past forty years, thanks to peaceful times and inexhaustible resources, humanity has made remarkable achievements in various fields.
Now, three years have passed, and it's time to set sail again.
On the Wolf 1061 c satellite, all the removable resource development plant modules were packed up, launched into space via Orbital Mass Accelerator, and then loaded into a cargo spacecraft.
Because humans defined themselves long before they began extracting resources, almost all buildings on the Wolf 1061 c satellite were constructed according to a modular, detachable standard.
Bases and factories are made up of interconnected, movable or foldable structures. It can be said that after humans left, the only thing left on the planet was the foundation.
Even the core components of the Orbital Mass Accelerator, such as the detachable rails, were eventually launched into space by rockets and taken away.
Humanity's actions instantly transformed the once vibrant planet back into its desolate state. Of course, there were some differences. Because human mining was largely reckless and destructive, with deep mines often being bombed with hydrogen bombs, the planet's surface landscape had undergone tremendous changes after humanity's withdrawal.
Everywhere there are deep pits and ravines, canyons and fissures, and valleys and caves.
Of course, despite such large-scale destructive mining by humans, a planet is really big. Even with more than forty years of destructive mining, humanity's current industrial capabilities have not been able to deplete the resources of this satellite.
From the perspective of the orbit, at most, there are only huge changes in the terrain.
After the ground engineering facilities, various equipment, and robots were packaged, the Relay Station located on its track also began to change itself. The original structure, which was spread out as a material receiving port, was slowly contracted, and the various suspended compartments were also slowly tightened under the operation of the mechanical structure, so as to reduce the overall size of the Relay Station while strengthening its structural strength.
Demand, to a certain extent, will also drive the development of related technologies.
Since humanity defined itself as Wandering Civilization, and since there has been a great demand for 'modularization and folding', over the past forty years of development, humanity has devoted itself to the research and development of various complex and precise mechanical structures.
This has enabled humanity to race ahead on this technological path, achieving a significant lead over other technologies in applications such as gears, force transmission, folding, and deformation.
If it continues to develop in this way, it might one day become a Characteristic Technology.
This cutting-edge application is also visually stunning. Various space platforms, satellites, and ground structures are deployed and retracted in a manner reminiscent of the base expansion and contraction in the game 'Red Alert'.
If space technology were available, the movements would probably look just like those of Transformers.
Of course, this "if" is actually many levels below the current level of human technology, but it is still considered a specialized technology among civilizations of the same level.
Yes. Gear transmission specialist.
With this specialized capability, when humanity needs to replenish energy and resources again, it will no longer need to painstakingly build various factories, machinery, and collection bases from scratch. Instead, it can directly land, deploy Landing Ship as various bases, and then use various drones and unmanned collection equipment to carry out large-scale resource extraction.
In Yi Kai's words, humanity has almost turned 'Red Alert' into reality.
When Yue Yuan first heard Yi Kai say that, he was stunned for a moment. Then he learned about a game called 'Red Alert' from the late 20th century.
Yue Yuan had learned about this "specialized technology" before. The precision components involved were simply mind-boggling. Just the folding structure of an unmanned mining vehicle alone contained thousands of gears of varying sizes and functions.
Watching the process of making mechanical structures is like watching a world of gears.
According to Yu Nanfeng, in order to ensure that some small gears could withstand the strong pressure of force transmission, the Mechanical Engineering Department specially used scraps of new materials to make them. For this purpose, they specially developed an Anti-Particle Cutting Technology, which was very expensive.
It is precisely the emergence of this technology that has enabled the secondary processing of alloys with melting points as high as 150 million degrees Celsius.
Currently, this specialized technology is also being used in Tactical Armor, which will make the various movements of the Tactical Armor more human-like, and even more so.
While the base on the moon Wolf 1061 c was being consolidated and packed up, the base on the planet Wolf 1061 c was also undergoing the same process.
Groups of landing personnel, dressed in new Spacesuit, boarded transport ships to carry the biological resources obtained from the final mission back to the Landing Ship and then returned to space.
After all personnel returned, the Space Station in orbit began to change its attitude, tightening its unfolded structures, and then started its engines to slowly move away from the planetary orbit.
The moment it departs from the Space Station, it can no longer be called Space Station, but must be transformed into Biosphere Spaceship, because these Space Station were originally designed according to the Hope spacecraft model.
However, like the Hope series of spaceships, except for the first one built by humans after arriving in this Star System, all other spaceships were built according to the standards of Tier 1 Civilization. That is to say, of the current seven biosphere ships, six are around 2200 meters in length.
From the outside, they are basically no different from Residential Spaceship.
So, like Residential Spaceship, they are constantly rotating slowly, only at a slightly faster speed. This is because they house various organisms from the Wolf 1061 c Planet, and since the gravity on this planet is greater than Earth's, the rotation speed is relatively faster to allow the organisms to adapt to the environment as much as possible.
The creatures on these seven spaceships are the result of over forty years of continuous collection by humankind.
Not only are there plants and animals, but also soil, water, and various other inorganic substances found on Wolf 1061 c Planet. Humans have even designed the lighting specifically to suit the planetary environment, and the illumination is designed according to the spectrum of the Red Dwarf Star Wolf 1061.
The seven spaceships are equivalent to creating seven Wolf 1061 c biospheres.
In fact, the New Government also knew that more than forty years was far from enough to collect all the biological resources on Wolf 1061 c Planet. However, they basically put all the creatures that humans could reach on the spaceship.
Of course, this excludes those extremely large plants and animals.
This planet also has enormous creatures. While not as large as blue whales, there are many larger than great white sharks, and they are mostly aquatic. These creatures take up too much space and have demanding living conditions. Humans have tried to capture and keep them in captivity, but all attempts have failed.
