Chapter 263: The Replication System
On a small scale, the Lin family farm could already make use of it.
On a large scale, it could be applied to extreme environments such as polar mining or lunar and Martian colonization. Because the technological barrier was so high, it was enough to become the core competitive edge of a tech company.
Of course, it wasn’t without its drawbacks.
The greenhouse, along with the entire steam technology system, was designed with one principle in mind: “No matter the cost, survival above all else!”
This meant that running these devices required enormous input just to yield high output. Unless it was in an apocalyptic scenario, using them in a normal commercial environment would be a guaranteed loss.
Finally, there was the “Industrial Robot 1.0.” No need to explain much—when it came to robots, there was no such thing as low-end. With this, upgrading to a smart factory became incredibly simple. Instead of relying on “integrated intelligent core modifications,” it could switch to a “factory plus robots” model.
Robots stepping into a factory were like workers stepping into a factory.
The difference was that workers might require thousands, while a robot needed only one.
These robots weren’t humanoid like in sci-fi movies. That would be ridiculous—high-tech machines relying on ten fingers to get things done? Instead, these industrial robots resembled massive spiders, with thousands of mechanical arms that could be configured as needed.
