Chapter 106: nanometers (Subscribe please!)

After completing the construction of the first space elevator on Ganymede, the production of the huge fiber zero did not stop, but instead increased its production intensity.

During this long production period, Li Qingsong has been optimizing and improving the production process and efficiency.

The original crude production facilities were gradually replaced by more advanced and stable equipment, and the automation level and reliability of the entire production line were gradually improved.

Through iterations again and again, the daily output of No. 0 fiber on each production line has increased from the previous two tons to the current tons.

Not only that, the performance of the No. 0 fibers they produced is also gradually improving. Compared with the ones produced initially, it has also increased by about 10%.

Although it is only a increase in production and a 10% increase in performance, overall it can be regarded as a generation gap.

As a result, the annual output of the entire No. 0 fiber production base has increased from million tons to about million tons at present.

A large amount of zero fiber was carried on the No. 1 space elevator and transported from Ganymede to Io, Io, and Io, and the remaining three space elevators began to be built simultaneously.

After a total of six years, the four large satellites in the Jupiter system finally all have space elevators as material transfer stations between the surface and space.

Having completely resolved the obstacles to the material operation of the entire Jupiter system, Li Qingsong's development of the Jupiter system entered a new stage.

Up to now, Li Qingsong has been in the Jupiter system for more than ten years.

During these ten years, Li Qingsong not only completed the construction of four space elevators, but also completed the construction of industrial and scientific research facilities that were three times the size of Luoshen and Divine Star combined.

Li Qingsong owns a total of more than 200,000 huge factories, laboratories or bases on four large satellites, more than a dozen small satellites, as well as in the rings of Jupiter and interstellar space.

Abundant resources from the Jupiter system are continuously mined, processed by the industrial system, and poured into various scientific research facilities like a flood, turning into nutrients to promote scientific and technological research and development.

Even within the rings of Jupiter, Li Qingsong has built a huge resource exploitation system.

At different nodes of Jupiter's rings, Li Qingsong built 10 supercomputers and 100 primary mineral smelting facilities, and deployed more than 1 million automatic prospecting and acceleration equipment.

They look like a flat rectangular iron box. They are self-powered and equipped with sophisticated prospecting equipment.

They spend the whole day hanging out in Jupiter's rings filled with dust and debris, and use automatic scanning prospecting equipment to accurately analyze the elemental composition of each piece of debris.

Once valuable stones are found, different fishing methods are adopted according to the size of the target.

If a stone is too small, it will be abandoned directly. If it is small but has enough value, this prospecting equipment will automatically plan a route, deftly bypass the other stones to come to it, extend a metal net to restrain it, and then automatically accelerate, take it out of Jupiter's ring, and "throw" it directly to the nearest space smelting base for processing.

If the stone is large, for example, tens of meters or more than a hundred meters in size, it will summon nearby mining facilities to come together, automatically draw a map, analyze the center of gravity, and select the force point. Then, multiple mining equipment will automatically attach to different parts of the stone, start accelerating at the same time, drag it out, and throw it to the smelting plant.

Ten space supercomputers located at different nodes provide sufficient computing power for the space mining AI. The 10 AIs work together to command more than one million mining devices to survey Jupiter's rings all day long.

A total of about 10,000 clones located in those space smelting factories, under the unified connection of Li Qingsong, are responsible for the optimization, maintenance, repair and decision-making of the entire process.

The minerals in Jupiter's rings, the minerals from other small satellites, and the minerals from large satellites are busily shuttled back and forth on large and small cargo ships, and eventually converge on one of the four space elevators to unload the cargo, which is then taken to the surface by the space elevator.

On the surface, heavy-loaded trains roared on countless railway lines. Between the railway lines, huge fleets of heavy trucks sped across the desolate and silent land. For some inconvenient places, there would be dual-use spacecraft to solve the transportation tasks for the last section of the journey.

The entire Jupiter system, under the control of Li Qingsong and his 15 million clones, is integrated into a whole through the connection of spaceships, trains, convoys, and most importantly, four space elevators.

The basic industrial system was completed and reached its peak state at the moment. So naturally, Li Qingsong's technology began to make breakthroughs again.

Over the past decade or so, along with the construction of industrial systems, relatively small technological advances such as optimization of various processes, adjustment of production lines, and performance improvement of various materials and equipment have frequently occurred.

Li Qingsong did a quick calculation and came up with an extremely shocking number.

The total number of tiny advances in all industrial and scientific fields has even exceeded 10 million!

Although none of them is a key technological breakthrough, we should not forget that key technological breakthroughs can only occur under the continuous consolidation and improvement of the foundation.

At this stage, with the completion of all industrial systems, the resources and brainpower supply of all scientific research bases have reached their peak. This tiny progress, sometimes as small as a decrease in the disease rate of a certain type of livestock, has once again skyrocketed in total number.

In just three years, the total number has once again exceeded 10 million, which is equal to the total number that lasted for more than ten years during the past large-scale construction.

After one small breakthrough after another, the first big breakthrough finally came.

Chip technology has finally made another breakthrough!

After introducing multiple exposure technology, fin field-effect transistor technology, a series of new materials and new processes, as well as optimizing the overall structure and production process, the latest generation of chips with a process reaching 10 nanometers was finally produced in small batches by Li Qingsong in the laboratory.

Compared with the 20-nanometer chips used before, the number of transistors in the 10-nanometer chips has increased by times, from about 4 billion to 10 billion!

The increase in the number of transistors also means a huge improvement in performance. After a simple evaluation, Li Qingsong came to the conclusion.

The chip performance has at least doubled compared to the previous generation!
