Chapter 977: Chapter 357: Ten-Year Finale (Part 2)
Richard is confident about moving into the White House within this decade.
As he said, eight years of subtle guidance is enough to influence a generation’s way of thinking.
This is exactly what general artificial intelligence technology or algorithms controlled by general artificial intelligence can easily accomplish.
Of course, the instructions Qiao Yu gave to July were not so direct, just a very general statement.
"Make more West people like the fortunate Richard."
As for how to make more people like him, that’s something July has to figure out on its own.
Polling data from various parties has already shown that July has done well in this regard.
And not just that.
Even many who do not quite like Richard believe that West University will only have hope under the leadership of someone like Richard in the future.
Of course, July certainly didn’t just do this one thing over the years.
In fact, the equipment given to Richard was just a personal act by Qiao Yu.
July’s most outstanding contribution is to human conquest of deep space.
Including but not limited to planning human Moon Base construction.
In ten years, Huaxia has already built five large bases on the Moon.
In fact, these cannot simply be called bases anymore, as they are about the size of small counties in Huaxia when compared to Earth.
Besides the initially constructed research base, there are two heavy industry bases and two Moon tourism bases.
In fact, the heavy industry bases and the research base also take on some tourism functions.
There are always tourists curious about how people working on the Moon study and live on a daily basis.
Thus, day tours of Moon factories and laboratories have also become one of the special projects on the Moon.
In short, to make relatively affluent people enjoy their time on the Moon and willingly contribute money to Huaxia’s Moon construction, the leadership has put in a lot of effort.
For convenient transportation, the five large bases or human habitats are connected by maglev trains.
Besides previously existing solar energy, Huaxia has also built three high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear power stations on the Moon.
Mainly because the heavy industry bases consume a lot of electricity, especially for water production.
The water used by Moon industrial bases certainly cannot be transported from Earth, as that would be too costly.
Although solid ice has been found in Moon craters, large-scale mining is equally troublesome.
And this part of the water is mainly used for living needs at the five bases.
Therefore, water for heavy industry development mainly comes from synthesizing water by decomposing oxides and hydrides in lunar soil.
This is also the reason for building nuclear power stations.
Although the need for decomposition and synthesis technology is already quite mature, these high-energy reactions require sufficient and stable power supply.
However, the cost of continuing to build nuclear power stations is still too high, so over the past eight years, Huaxia has already mastered space solar power collection technology and wireless energy transmission technology.
Phase one of space solar panels has already been laid.
It is expected that in two years, the main power supply of the Moon’s heavy industry base will gradually be provided by space solar power bases.
Additionally, near the two heavy industrial bases on the Moon, two spaceports capable of a daily throughput of hundreds of trips are under construction.
Once these two spaceports are completed, they will not only act as links for cargo transfer between the Moon and Earth, but also serve as bases for launching spaceships for deep space exploration from the Moon.
The Moon’s low gravity offers more advantages for launching deep space exploration ships compared to Earth.
Launching these spaceships from the Moon reduces costs.
The Mars unmanned exploration plan has been put on the agenda. Of course, the first batch of unmanned spacecraft to Mars will also be piloted by July.
July is not only tasked with going to Mars for exploration, but also charged with deploying satellites along the way and establishing relay stations.
In this scenario, July’s role is truly highlighted.
As humanity’s first general artificial intelligence product, with the powerful computational capacity of quantum simulation calculation, it can quickly adjust strategies based on different situations encountered.
The ability to control more accurately, analyze in real-time, and make decisions compared to humans is evidently the most important aspect of this mission.
Especially in deploying various satellite relays along the route, ensuring that the spacecraft can send its information back to Earth instantly.
Even if the spaceship encounters mishaps during its cosmic voyage, complete information can still be transmitted back to Earth, accumulating more experience for future spaceship construction.
The construction of space supply stations along the route is to lay a foundation for future manned deep space exploration.
Given the vast distances from the Earth-Moon system to Mars or other planets.
When real manned exploratory flights occur and the ship encounters a malfunction, there will at least be a place to maintain human life signs and await rescue.
In this regard, Qiao Yu did not deceive those mathematicians who tirelessly researched mathematical theories for enhancing July’s capabilities.
Although Qiao Yu might have July do some random things, its outstanding role in deep space exploration has been recognized by all.
Correspondingly, elementary mathematics has evolved into a relatively independent branch of mathematics in just a decade.
Its numerous subfields even rival traditional mathematics itself.
For instance, the elementary algebra emphasizing research on the structure of consciousness branches into numerous subfields such as consciousness ring theory, homological logic representation theory, free module theory, stability theory of intention modules, and so on...
