Chapter 70: The Birth of ‘Source’
After finishing these tasks, Wu Hao went to see the situation in the newly renovated villa. The villa had been cleaned and organized two days ago.
Now, all that was left was to purchase some furniture and household items to move in directly. However, Wu Hao didn't plan to have his parents move into the villa immediately.
Although he had instructed the construction team in charge of the villa's construction to use non-toxic materials for interior decoration, even the best materials on the market were not completely toxin-free and pollution-free. Therefore, it would be best to wait for some time before moving into the newly renovated house.
However, Wu Hao could start by furnishing the villa with furniture and various facilities. After one or two months, he could move in directly.
In the next two days, Wu Hao ordered a complete set of high-end furniture and various electrical appliances from a supplier in the province. Since the items he purchased were not cheap, several merchants offered home delivery and installation services.
For furniture, Wu Hao chose top-grade mahogany furniture, which cost several million yuan for the entire villa. Of course, his parents were unaware of the high price of the furniture. As for electrical appliances, Wu Hao selected brands that were currently known for their good quality and complete functionality.
However, most of the appliances were domestically produced because he didn't want any Japanese brands. While domestic brands may be slightly inferior to Japanese brands in various aspects, Wu Hao's requirements were not that high. Even if there were any quality issues, he could afford to replace them with new ones. In any case, he wouldn't choose products manufactured by the Japanese.
After taking care of the matters at home, Wu Hao informed his parents that he would be leaving for some time and might only return during the Chinese New Year. He also told them to call him if they needed anything.
Upon hearing that Wu Hao would be leaving again, his elderly parents didn't object. They simply reminded him to be careful. The next day, Wu Hao drove away from his hometown and this time he didn't go to the previous small town but instead parked at a parking lot in the city.
Last time, he had parked his car in that small town because it was closer to the mountains, and his telekinetic abilities were not as powerful as they are now, nor was his flying speed comparable.
With his current enhanced flying speed and abilities, a flight distance of a few hundred kilometers posed no problem for him. As long as he took off from a sparsely populated area in the outskirts of the city at night and flew at a low altitude along densely vegetated and sparsely populated areas, there would be no issues.
After all, the role that satellites can play at night is still very limited. Even though there are military reconnaissance satellites that can perform various imaging and reconnaissance tasks at night, they are only used for specific purposes.
During normal times, it is not feasible to constantly focus on specific areas for reconnaissance. Moreover, satellites that conduct continuous reconnaissance on a fixed location are usually high-orbit satellites. The farther they are from Earth, the worse their reconnaissance effectiveness becomes.
Satellites that continuously photograph and survey various parts of the Earth belong to low-orbit satellites, and it takes several hours to capture images of the same location.
Two days later, inside the "Yuan" base, Wu Hao went to the base warehouse and meticulously organized the raw materials and electronic components he had purchased from various countries overseas.
This base, located deep in the Qinling Mountains and devoid of any signs of human presence, was officially named "Yuan" by Wu Hao. As the name implies, this base would serve as the initial source for his future development.
"Hmm! It's a good thing I made preparations beforehand. The quantities of electronic components and raw materials I ordered are quite substantial. Once I solve the issue of the base's energy supply, I can start using these raw materials and electronic components to create a small-scale integrated high-tech industry chain! This way, I should be able to manufacture various equipment needed for the laboratory within six months at most. However, it seems that the base will need to be expanded again."
In fact, according to Wu Hao's original plan, he didn't intend to establish a large-scale laboratory immediately. His original plan was just to build a flying apparatus for himself.
Although the construction of this flying apparatus seemed complex, overall, it was much easier than building a large-scale laboratory.
After all, Wu Hao's flying apparatus didn't require considerations for a propulsion system. He only needed to focus on the research of materials and stealth coatings for the flying apparatus.
As for the internal electronic systems of the flying apparatus, such as satellite navigation and positioning, they could be achieved through the electronic components he had purchased.
However, building a large-scale laboratory was an entirely different concept. It required various research equipment and apparatus.
These research equipment and apparatus couldn't be conjured out of thin air. Wu Hao not only needed to conduct research and improvements using the existing equipment in the world, but also equip his base with the capability to independently develop and produce some important components.
To achieve this, the base must have a complete industrial chain for processing and manufacturing raw materials.
For example, if a country wants to manufacture an aircraft, it must first have processing factories for various raw materials, as well as research labs and other processes.
To put it simply, a complete industrial production system is necessary to manufacture the required equipment and weapons. Currently, only a few countries in the world can achieve this, and Huaxia is one of them.
Similarly, if Wu Hao wants to independently research and manufacture these high-tech devices and instruments, he also needs a complete industrial chain.
Of course, Wu Hao's base is limited in size, so he will have to find ways to simplify many processes.
For example, when producing various components, he can use matching 3D printing devices to accomplish the task.
The required raw materials can be purchased domestically or internationally, reducing the issue of sourcing materials within Wu Hao's base.
The remaining challenge is to consider how to improve the corresponding 3D printing devices for producing these components. After all, with the current existing 3D printing technologies in the world, this goal cannot be achieved.
Therefore, Wu Hao must independently develop more advanced 3D printing devices. Most of the electronic components and materials he purchased last time were specifically for manufacturing 3D printing devices. After all, 3D printing devices are the "industrial mothership" of all the technology in his base.
