"What about the difficulty of operation? I remember that although this kind of engineering robot is called a robot, it still relies on human operation." Sai thought for a while and asked.

"Small engineering robots do not require human operation, and large ones do not need to be operated normally. Only when encountering special tasks and special circumstances, humans are required to operate."

"And the operation is not difficult. The human-machine integration you mentioned before is still developing very fast in this era. Humans can directly turn large engineering robots into their own substitutes through special somatosensory equipment."

"So only those who have skilled experience in space operations and have been space workers will be able to operate engineering robots," the chief engineer explained.

Then he showed Sai the work that engineering robots gathered together, which was to mine an asteroid. However, this was not a live demonstration, but a recorded broadcast.

In the holographic projection, this iron-containing asteroid is quite large, and according to data, its diameter exceeds ten kilometers.

Thousands of engineering robots swarmed out of the engineering spacecraft, loaded with a large number of tools and modular factories, and began to land on the asteroid and lay the factory.

These are truly unmanned factories. There are no roads for people to walk inside. Huge amounts of mining equipment are crowded together, making full use of all space.

Then the factory's mining equipment began to release a super strong magnetic field, causing the ground to soften like a liquid. A large amount of minerals were mined and then transported to the engineering spacecraft by robots.

"Marshal Sai, although magnetic field mining technology has only been developed in recent years, asteroid mining is already a very mature technology for humans."

"Compared with traditional laser mining technology, modern mining technology combines lasers with strong magnetic fields. The mining efficiency is much higher than in the past, and the efficiency of human resources development has been greatly improved."

"As for spaceships, with the advancement of planetary engine technology, we can build super spaceships with larger tonnage," the chief engineer said.

……..

After understanding modern industrial technology, Say held a meeting and proposed to build World 3 to belong to the planets of the Solar System Fleet, namely Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

"Everyone, with the lifting of the blockade of our science by the Trisolaran civilization, our basic science will definitely lead to progress in the future, so it is a high probability to develop more worlds through quantum bodies."

"Therefore, we must gradually master the ability to develop desolate planets at high speed, quickly build them into human industrial and resource bases, and then feed back the entire human civilization." Sai took the lead.

"In this regard, we have already planned the concepts of the Mars economic circle, the Jupiter economic circle and the Saturn economic circle. According to the plan, the population of these three economic circles is about 10 billion. After completion, they will become important energy bases for the solar system fleet."

"However, due to the infrastructure and industrial limitations of World 3, the construction process is expected to take about half a century to complete the initial progress, and a century to complete the construction." Solar System Presidential Report reported.

"There is nothing to say about the Mars development project. As for Jupiter and Saturn, due to distance issues and zero infrastructure, I propose to develop them in a more efficient way." Sai shook his head.

"What suggestions do you have?" asked the President of the Solar System Fleet.

"I suggest that the Solar System Fleet should build a colony ship with strong industrial capabilities and the ability to carry a large number of personnel. It can be said that the ship itself is a multi-functional space city."

"In this way, the initial immigrants do not need to build various factories from scratch. They can directly use the factories and mining equipment of the colonial ship to develop Jupiter's resources and conduct larger-scale expansion."

"Considering that this is a voyage within the star system, the colony ship does not need to be very fast, it only needs to be about one thousandth of the speed of light."

"The first goal of all colony ships is Jupiter, and when Jupiter's economic circle is initially established and there is no need to rely on the internal factories of the colony ships, all colony ships will be responsible for exploring Saturn."

"Of course, if the other two fleets need our "help", we can let the colonial ships develop Neptune and Uranus after completing the construction of the Jupiter economic circle and Saturn economic circle."

The fundamental purpose of Say's proposal is actually to prepare for interstellar colonization, so that when humans develop light-speed spacecraft, they can develop other star systems more efficiently.

And everyone suddenly understood that because humans in World 3 have not developed Jupiter, there are no space factories or other facilities there.

If you just bring the engineering spacecraft there, the army can only pioneer the land in the early stage, establish the most basic industry first, and then gradually send the immigrants to build the Jupiter industrial system bit by bit.

Jupiter and Saturn are too far away from the earth. It would take several weeks to travel back and forth from the earth. Transporting supplies, equipment and people is too time-consuming.

As for the ancient times of the main world, humans used the industrial system of Mars and the asteroid belt as a springboard to develop Jupiter starting from the asteroid belt.

But the problem is that in World 3, Mars and the asteroid belt are also undeveloped areas. If you want to use them as a springboard, you have to wait decades.

If we build a colony ship with strong industrial production capacity and directly move a large number of factories to Jupiter, then the development work will be much simpler.

"Marshal Sai, do you have any requirements for colonial ships?" the chief engineer of the Solar System Fleet asked.

"Yes, the habitable population of a colony ship cannot be less than 10 million, and the tonnage should not be less than one billion tons. Of course, the living environment does not need to be considered. The immigrants in World 2 are not that picky anyway."

"As for the colony ship, in addition to having the ability to manufacture industrial products, it must also store a large amount of industrial resources and fusion fuel to facilitate the rapid construction of an industrial system on Jupiter."

"It is best for colony ships to have the ability to quickly manufacture space buildings, such as gaseous planet mining platforms and industrial space cities, as well as the ability to manufacture all basic industrial products and nanomaterials."

"I understand, you want to build a super industrial fleet to develop Jupiter. This will be the largest industrial fleet in the history of human civilization." The chief engineer of the solar system said.

"It would be even better if it is an industrial fleet. In addition to colonial ships, an industrial fleet can also be equipped with various supply ships, mining ships, engineering ships, etc. to assist the colonial ships in developing Jupiter."

"After all, developing a new world is a systematic job. One colonial ship alone may not be able to complete all the work. Only a systematic colonial fleet can shoulder this mission."
