Beneath Deep Space

Mount Sharp, also known as the Aeolian Mountains, is about 5,000 meters high and has sedimentary layers that may be more than a billion years old. There are many minerals and abundant resources here. In just a few days, veins of calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, fluorine, iron and other minerals have been discovered by humans.

Several small uranium mines were also discovered three hundred kilometers away from the spacecraft. Of course, the output is certainly not as high as that of the large uranium mines in the Arctic. But humans are not picky about food. Of course, the more energy, the better. There is no fossil energy on Mars, mainly nuclear energy and solar energy. Nuclear energy can still be packaged and taken away. Of course, humans hope that the more uranium resources the better.

Railways began to be laid quickly, excavation work by automatic excavators began one after another, and research work on flying saucer creations began to be assigned. All follow-up work is proceeding in an orderly manner...

At the same time, people are also intensively monitoring alien flying saucers and have found nothing unusual.

Time flies so fast, two years and three months have passed since the earth exploded. It has been half a year since Yu Yifeng and the others returned from their adventure. It is now March 0002 in the new human calendar. Three months ago, people spent the second New Year on the Noah.

However, the second year was much duller, and there were no large-scale organizational activities, because many scientists were frantically researching alien technology!

Each one of them is as if they were on a drug, their minds are filled with technology, technology, technology. This wonderful pleasure of exploring the unknown is like being addicted... Do you want them to stop researching? !

No, absolutely not!

They refused to take a holiday one by one, and did not even think about it. They just wanted to work, and they even quarreled with the government workers who came to persuade them... In a word, it is absolutely impossible to ask them to stop working! Because of this, the second year could only pass hastily.

Thanks to the efforts of many scientists, the scientific and technological strength of the new human civilization has been greatly improved in the past six months...

However, Yu Yifeng knows clearly that so far, science and technology have not produced huge qualitative changes, and there is still a long way to go before interstellar civilization.

Scientific research requires a lot of time, and just half a year is not enough! But he is not in a hurry, and neither are humans. They have a lot of time to study and study. As long as they make progress every day, they will always reach the step of qualitative change.

Yu Yifeng suddenly sighed: Human beings today are like craftsmen in the late Qing Dynasty who suddenly obtained a Boeing 737 aircraft from the 21st century! There is no problem in letting them study it, but it is almost impossible for them to copy one.

This is entirely a lack of theory, experience and industrial strength. If the prerequisites are insufficient, even if you see it, you may not be able to imitate it. This is also a very regrettable point for human beings.

Just like a Boeing 737 aircraft, no matter the engine or various operating systems, the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty could not make them exactly the same, or even one of the parts, because this spanned several eras. s things!

However, although it cannot be copied, scientists can be inspired by it. There is no requirement to build another Boeing 737. It should be no problem to make a "wooden airplane" like the Wright brothers, right?

The scientists on board Noah are also in this groping state. They cannot directly reach the level of alien civilization, but they can get inspiration and new ideas from alien creations... They conduct various experiments and then transform the analyzed data into something of humankind's own.

People are not ambitious, only their own technology is what they truly own! Only with such step-by-step progress can the path of science be made more solid.

A large number of research reports are collected on Yifeng's computer every day, and he has to analyze and browse them attentively every day.

"The Kinov industrial plant has been fully completed. Currently, only 12% of industrial output is used, and a large number of production lines are still idle."

"The production of excavators and trains has been completed, and there is no need to expand production in the short term..."

"Most of the supporting steel-making blast furnaces have also stopped production, leaving only two. The overall power consumption of Noah has been reduced to 20 million watts..."

Yu Yifeng nodded, this situation was expected.

The suspension of production in factories does not necessarily mean a decrease in industrial production capacity. When needed, these production lines will be restarted, instantly bursting out with massive production capacity.

This super-large factory with an area of ​​nearly 300 square kilometers is one of the largest on earth.

Chief Engineer Ivanovich and his team used genius ideas to divide the factory into fifteen area blocks. A large number of transmission links were laid between each area block to link with each other. The process Very complicated.

A total of six thousand scientists and engineers work in this factory. With manual labor almost eliminated, they are mainly responsible for design, monitoring and machine maintenance.

Because of the existence of this super factory, the industrial capacity of Noah has increased by more than 20 times than before!

To give a specific analogy, if you want to produce 200,000 cutting robots, it would take at least a year with the original industrial capabilities of the lunar base, but now, it can be easily completed in less than half a month!

This is the ultimate in strength, the result of the wisdom and sweat of all mankind!

With such industrial capabilities, it also gives the green light to various scientific experiments. Scientists can unleash their wild imagination without worrying about industrial production capacity.

Resources are available, energy is available, and production capacity is available. Now it is a paradise for science!

Although this factory can be laid on a larger area, if it continues to be laid out, the population may not be enough. Population has always been a very big constraint. There are only more than 50,000 people on the Noah, so the population cannot be allocated to this big factory.

Yu Yifeng continued to browse the submitted plans while thinking. He had a large number of reports that needed to be reviewed and approved every day.

"Research on new superconducting materials...approved!"

"Research on a new space shuttle...approved!"

"The construction of the Large Hadron Collider...approved!"

After a series of plans were approved, he was really dizzy.

To be honest, there is no such thing as "cheating funds" in the spacecraft now. Many reports have been reviewed many times by major scientists, and he only needs to keep approving them.

But with a responsible attitude, Yu Yifeng persisted in reading each piece. He must know the technological progress of the entire new human civilization in order to calmly control the overall situation. Otherwise, if he doesn’t even know how far civilization has developed, why would he still be a leader?

The most troublesome and joyful thing is the press conferences of major laboratories. In this era of technological explosion, there are sometimes two or three a day, and he is always invited to participate. But it’s no good if he doesn’t participate. He’s too busy to do all the work!

Just this afternoon.

"...This new type of aluminum-air battery has an energy density 40 times that of ordinary lithium batteries, which has greatly filled a gap in the material world. From now on, we no longer have to worry about insufficient battery capacity!"

This is a conference for new energy batteries. High-energy batteries have always been the research direction of many scientists. Batteries are of great use both in weapons and in daily life.

"Everyone knows that in the past, the density of lithium batteries was 200wh/Kg. If placed in a car, the driving range would be about 480 kilometers, and the lifespan would be very short and would need to be replaced in three or four years."

"But the energy density of this new aluminum-air battery is 8100Wh/Kg, and the cruising range can reach 19,200 kilometers! The service life is more than ten years, and it can be used for a long time..."

On the stage was physicist Felix, who was speaking to the many scientists below with a bright face at this moment: "So, once the new aluminum-air battery is mass-produced, traditional lithium batteries can be eliminated!"

The English gentleman, who rarely had such an expression, was evidently in a state of extreme agitation.
