Human beings who have achieved energy freedom can do a lot more things even on the road to escape.

Industrial projects that were once unable to be developed on a large scale due to energy issues are now on the agenda.

Of course, the first thing to solve is the cloud ring number problem.

The main reason for the slow construction in the past was that many equipment could not complete production on time due to energy control conditions, resulting in intermittent construction progress.

Now that there is sufficient energy supply, the progress of the project has improved significantly.

What's even more gratifying is that the evacuated fleet has more energy, allowing the ships to collect related minerals from various planets they pass by, thus replenishing the fleet's consumption during the voyage.

In fact, Qi Yiming had been doing these things since the beginning of the voyage, but at that time the energy supply of the entire fleet was very tight.

Excluding the daily consumption of the supply fleet, the remaining energy quota is not enough for the mining fleet to fully collect useful minerals along the way.

Even if it is collected, there is no excess energy for smelting and manufacturing.

You must know that the ecosystem inside the colonial spacecraft is very fragile. Just keeping the temperature of the living space of billions of people constant requires a large amount of energy, let alone providing these people with their daily needs.

Qi Yiming is no longer worried about the energy supply problem. What he is worried about now is Fang Min.

Fang Min sits in his office every day, holding a holographic electronic board in his hand, which records a dense list of projects awaiting approval.

Fang Min had no choice. Some time ago, he was still laughing at Wang Sen being blocked in front of his house. Now it was his turn.

The heads of the industrial sector, large and small, blocked his door all day long, either asking for expansion of production or applying for more industrial land.

However, the Hope is only so big. To be honest, it is a bit tight to arrange the personnel to live there. There is no extra space for them to build a new production line.

"That's not how energy is created..." Qi Yiming looked at Fang Min bitterly after reading a document.

Fang Min looked at Qi Yiming with aggrieved expression.

Qi Yiming sighed and said: "We have endless energy now, but we must also consider the ecological environment inside the Hope and Knight. Take a look at the ecological environment report that the Academy of Sciences gave me the day before yesterday..."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the holographic screen in front of him and then pointed at Fang Min. A report appeared on the holographic electronic board in Fang Min's hand.

The report mentioned that since the energy problem was solved, the internal temperature of the Hope has increased by 1.3 degrees in just over a month, and that of the Knight has increased by 1.7 degrees.

Even though it only increased by such a small amount, the load on the cooling systems of the two giant colonial spaceships has almost exceeded the original design limit.

The reason for this problem is that the industrial activities in the two colonial spacecraft have increased, and a large amount of heat has been released concentratedly. If this continues, the two colonial spacecraft will soon become no longer suitable for human habitation due to the collapse of the ecological environment.

"I can't help it. Wang Sen's project cannot be stopped. Coupled with the consumption of navigation in the past few years, both spaceships have to undergo large-scale repairs. In addition, there is a large demand for civilian consumer goods..."

"Is there still a demand for civilian products? Why didn't I hear you mention that there was a demand for civilian consumer products during the energy shortage before?"

"You also said, wasn't there a shortage of energy at that time? There was little production of consumer goods."

Qi Yiming was so angry that he wanted to curse: "We have just had a few good days and now we are thinking about how to enjoy it? We are on the run now..."

Fang Min lowered his head and stopped talking.

The two were silent for a long time before Qi Yiming spoke again: "Stop the production of consumer goods first. Don't you believe that we can live without these things?"

Fang Min quickly clicked on his holographic electronic board, and hundreds of applications for the production of civilian consumer goods were all rejected by him.

Qi Yiming took a look and continued: "The production line supplying the Yunhuan project is in full production, and the maintenance progress of the Hope and the Knight has slowed down. If we believe in our technology, these two spaceships have only been in service for a few years? How is it possible? So many parts need to be replaced?”

Qi Yiming drastically cut off many projects, while Fang Min grimaced and thought about how to avoid being surrounded by his men today.

After seeing off Fang Minqi Yiming sighed: "I worry when the energy supply is tight. Now that the energy supply is sufficient, why do I become more worried?"

After taking a short rest, Qi Yiming pressed the communicator on his desk: "Xiao Hao, ask Dean Shi Shaojie to come to my office. I have something to discuss with him."

Half an hour later, Shi Shaojie came to Qi Yiming's office wearing a white coat. As soon as he entered, he complained: "I'm busy over there. Why do I have to come in person?"

Seeing Shi Shaojie's furious look, Qi Yiming couldn't bear to interrupt his research, but the current situation no longer allowed the fleet to develop like this.

The previous escape plan was made without sufficient energy supply, but it is different now, so the previous plan has lost the meaning of execution.

"I called you here because I hope your Academy of Sciences can produce a feasibility study report..."

"What's a feasibility report? What do you want to do?"

Seeing Shi Shaojie finally sitting on the sofa, Qi Yiming sent a new development plan to his personal terminal.

"Take a look at this plan. The Academy of Sciences will give a feasibility report."

Shi Shaojie frowned and looked at the document sent by Qi Yiming. His extremely impatient expression became serious, and he looked at Qi Yiming with surprise from time to time.

After spending more than ten minutes reading the document, Shi Shaojie looked up at Qi Yiming again, and after a long time asked Qi Yiming: "How many dishes did you have last night? Did you drink so much?"

Qi Yiming made this kind of development plan for the first time. He thought he could be praised by Shi Shaojie, but he didn't expect Shi Shaojie to give him no face at all.

Shi Shaojie took a deep breath and continued, "Let alone we are on the run now, even if it is a normal voyage, many of the ideas in your development plan cannot be realized at all."

"Why?"

"Just talking about your plan for a special industrial zone, do you mean to move the industrial zone in the colonial spacecraft out and build a separate spacecraft for them? Where is the dock? What about the navigation plan? You know, during the jump voyage, it is impossible for us to perform extravehicular operations. We can't stay in a galaxy permanently, right? What if the swarm comes?"

"Did you misunderstand?"

Shi Shaojie was stunned at first and then said, "It is clearly written in your plan. Isn't a separate industrial zone to build industrial spacecraft?"

Qi Yiming smiled and said, "Come, let me explain it to you."

As they spoke, their heads came together, and Qi Yiming explained his new plan to Shi Shaojie one by one.
