"Boss, the mining ship has been repaired."

Early in the morning, Zhang Shusheng was woken up by the alarm clock, and Zhang Bing's avatar appeared on the screen of the alarm clock, and the electronic voice was also his voice.

"Assemble in 30 minutes, let's go check it out."

Zhang Shusheng turned over and got up, quickly got his personal hygiene, there is advanced technology, even if this is the Sahara Desert, there is no shortage of water, and it is very comfortable to live on the Big Dipper exploration ship.

Thirty minutes later, everyone gathered in the departure hall of the spacecraft, and they were all in a good mood, because they were about to witness the fully automatic mining and refining of the F-class mining ship.

Outside, the sun is rising over the horizon, the desert is unique to the morning, the temperature is low, but the scenery is good.

"Welcome boss, welcome to the Sahara mining ship."

Everyone arrived at the Sahara mining ship, and the main brain, Sahara, already knew that he would be sent to work in a new place, and he was in a good mood with some rare surnames.

As her intelligence improves, she also prefers to take on more interesting tasks.

"Sahara, it's up to you next."

Zhang Shusheng greeted Sahara in the form of a biological robot with a smile and said, the communication between intelligent life and people is indeed very convenient, even if there is no biological mecha for her to possess, there are countless data ports in the entire mining ship base, like countless displays, which can interact with and communicate with humans.

"Yes. Boss. ”

Everyone was led to a high platform, which is also the highest point of the mining base, looking at the reinforced rock layers in a dozen places above them, and then up to the ground.

Looking down from the high platform of more than 20 storeys, the entire No. 8 mining area is a very magnificent smelting base developed by F-class Saharan mining ships.

This small platform is also equipped with a number of virtual imaging equipment, so that standing here can not only see the overview of the underground base, but also see other details that are difficult to see.

"Start!"

With the order of the Sahara, the entire huge mining ship base suddenly entered the state of production.

With the muffled hum of machinery, multi-purpose mining trucks emerge from the pits, fill them with primary ore, and transport them directly to the primary ore processing area.

A large number of automatic equipment, the robot work efficiency is very high, the primary ore through the assembly line of the primary ore processing area, is quickly transferred to the next process, refining area.

Primary ore processing area, refining area, refining area, high purification, energy block molding...... Among the people present, Zhang Shusheng's scientific literacy and knowledge were the most extensive, and when he saw such an ultra-efficient production in the era of interstellar civilization, he could still calm down, and others, including Chen Jun, couldn't help but widen their eyes.

A large F-class mining ship with a length of more than 5,000 meters, after unfolding, has a main area of the underground base with a radius of nearly ten kilometers, as well as many ancillary areas that have been opened up, and a large number of mechanical equipment, robots, production equipment, etc. with the ship, under the control of the mining ship's owner, the efficiency is extremely high.

What you see in front of you is an ultra-high-efficiency fully automated energy ore purification production line, and in each virtual video is the details of underground mining, processing, and final rolling forming.

Each process is precisely calculated, and even the large, medium and small energy blocks of the finished product are designed to minimize waste, and even the final slag with a good ore content can be refined into a low-concentration energy block that can be used for the ship's own use or for other purposes.

Zhang Shusheng silently calculated, a standard specification of energy block, from excavation to molding, actually only takes 8 hours.

This efficiency is intimidating.

And if you change Chengren to do it, this time may take a month, even if it is a second-level civilization like the Longshan Empire, under normal circumstances, it will take 2 to 3 days of earth time to refine an energy block, which is the power of the F-level mining ship from the third-level civilization, of course, the upgraded mastermind is also the guarantee of efficiency.

If the era of industrialization opened by the steam engine allowed mankind to see the power of machines, then today, everything that happens here allows everyone present to see the great power of the interstellar age, a complete and advanced industrial mechanical system.

For Sahara, Zhang Bing also promised that after transferring her away from the mining ship, she would be able to use it as the mining ship master by upgrading an ordinary second-level civilization mastermind.

"Boss, the energy blocks processed from these tailings are not garbage, they can usually be used as a civilian energy source in advanced civilizations. For us, they are fully usable as a military energy source. ”

Zhang Bing also flashed on a virtual screen and reported to Zhang Shusheng.

"Very good, let's use these defective energy blocks as military energy."

Zhang Shusheng originally thought that he would use these precious standard energy blocks for the next Starfleet for ordinary military purposes, but now that he knew that the defective products were enough, he was naturally very happy.

"Everyone has seen that this is the power of interstellar civilization, which is far from being comparable to the era of industrial civilization and information civilization, and this is a great era dominated by the new energy era. New energy brings new technology, new machinery, new technology, new information means, and we need more advanced machinery to build this wonderful planet.

Although the conventional war is over, we still have a long way to go. ”

Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he was going to implement all the exchange work including the super machinery manufacturing center immediately after he went back, that thing was not something he could produce, and if it was not exchanged, the earth would not be able to produce it in another hundred years.

The whole visit process was perfect, Zhang Shusheng also brought back a full video for the people of the Propaganda Department, and at the right time, these video materials will appear on the screen, so that the people of the empire know the power of new technology and feel the development and changes of the empire.

Just before boarding the ship in the afternoon, the first block of energy was finally produced, and under Sahara's command, the robot drove directly to the block.

"This is the energy block used by the vast majority of civilizations."

Zhang Shusheng grabbed the boxy energy block in front of him with both hands, this standard energy block will be directly stuffed into the energy compartment of the engine at that time, a spaceship sailing to the stars, the energy cabin must be filled with rows of labeled energy blocks, which is very safe and very simple.

The energy block presents a crystal jade color, and when you start warmly, you can feel the faint energy coming from inside.

This highly concentrated standard energy block, one meter square, but weighs more than three tons, which is a veritable concentrated energy block.

"Boss, the starfleet and other interstellar ships we will form in the future only need to use this kind of pure energy block, according to the processing capacity of the third-level F mining ship, as long as the appropriate upgrades are carried out, we have the ability to process the fifth-level energy block, but now this second-level energy block is completely enough for us to use.

A standard block of energy is enough for the battleship Zhonghua to sail for at least fifty light-years.

If a new power plant is built and the transmission problem can be solved, thirty energy blocks can power the entire empire for at least five months.

Of course, if you want to make a space jump, you need at least fifty standard energy blocks, which is commonly referred to as fifty units of energy. ”

Zhang Bing, a jack of all trades, introduced Zhang Shusheng.

A second-level energy block is exactly one energy unit t, and if it is a third-level energy block, one piece is equivalent to two energy units, 2t. The first-level energy block is about 0.5t.

The energy contained in the purified energy block is indeed very huge, but correspondingly, when it must be used, it is also a time when it consumes a lot of energy.

Zhang Shusheng's plan is to build some high-safety and advanced nuclear power plants in various places, and build new energy power stations in economically developed areas, and the energy they use will be these defective energy blocks.

The whole idea is very simple, store high-purity standard energy blocks, and use a large number of inferior energy blocks, civil, military and other fields.

Sooner or later, hydropower plants will have to be phased out, and the gradual use of low-cost nuclear power plants combined with higher-cost energy power plants can avoid duplication of investment, provided that the technology and cost are not excessive.

Therefore, the empire will no longer carry out large-scale hydropower development, but the local government can carry out appropriate hydropower development. After all, power retrofitting is a long process, especially when it comes to transmission networks.

…… After returning to Hanjing, Zhang Shusheng issued a gag order on the matter of the Garimo family's mining fleet, and now is not the time to let the public know about this matter, without preparation, it will only cause social unrest.

The people of the empire who had just experienced the pain of war, Zhang Shusheng did not want them to fall into the quagmire of war again immediately, in his thoughts, the empire must have at least ten years of stable development.

Sitting in the office, Zhang Shusheng's heart couldn't calm down.

"Such a long list is full of things that need to be exchanged, from some parts with terrifying accuracy, to weapons and equipment used to solve the crisis of the Garimo family, and cargo ships, these are all a lot of points!"

The day after returning to Hanjing, Zhang Shusheng spent the whole day discussing this hundred-page exchange list with Zhang Bing.

The above are all things that the current technology cannot solve at all, but they are urgently needed, some are equipment, some are technical data, and there are also a lot of things such as biological agents, learning machines, robots, virtual network equipment, etc.

The points are limited, there are too many things that Zhang Shusheng wants to exchange, if the points are enough, he even wants to exchange a fleet immediately, but in fact this is unlikely.

Weighing left and right, what is urgently needed will be exchanged first, and what can be self-produced in a relatively short period of time and what can find a substitute will be postponed.

It took a whole day to put together this lengthy list.

That night, he and Zhang Bing went to the underground science and technology center to prepare to exchange the huge items on the list.

In total, there are more than 800 kinds of large and small items, more than 1,700 copies of technical information, and a number of valuables including super machinery manufacturing centers, covering several fields such as science and technology, military education, production, medicine, etc.

"Boss, what a big deal......"

Zhang Bing, a one-meter-tall robot, danced happily when he saw the exchange list handed to him by Zhang Shusheng, and almost danced a robot dance.

"No way, we are poor, the whole earth is now poor and white, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt!"

Zhang Shusheng said with emotion, it is indeed the case, if the previous reunification war was to lay the foundation for the current great development, then now his enemy is time, and he has to race against time.

Is the long life used to travel the universe or to wander the landscape? Zhang Shusheng couldn't do either, he didn't want to come back from a trip to a corner of the universe one day and find that the earth had become a slave farm.

Unlike others, he has not felt tired at all in the past few decades, but is full of fighting spirit and full of energy, without the fatigue and aging that are common to politicians due to long-term addiction to power and struggle.

He only now realizes that he is the same as the protagonists in those novels, and his long life has been spent doing positive things.

In the past, he didn't believe in the things written in novels and always thought that everything was absurd, but it wasn't until he came to this era that he realized that some things could not be completely judged by subjective consciousness.

For example, the battle yuan power and battle spirit power generated by cultivating combat skills, he did see it in the novel, at that time, in the eyes of the earthlings, these were unattainable things, but looking at the universe, civilizations in the body abounded.

Although these inner civilizations are not as magical as those stories in Xianxia mythology, it is always easy to fly away.

He even suspected that the magical civilizations, cultivation civilizations, and fantasy civilizations in those novels were likely to exist in other planes of the universe. It's just that in the face of absolute plane power, no one can break it.

At least, the most incredible power in this universe, in addition to science and technology, that is, the civilization in the body, the cultivation of infinite development of life, no one can say what kind of height it will go to one day.

Compared with Zhang Shusheng, who is now at the peak of the God of War and is only one step away from entering the planetary level master, more than 30 years is simply a flick of his fingers.

His life is like a movie, the previous conventional war years were just a wedge over, and now that civilization has begun, a more exciting chapter has been opened.

"Although the earth is a little poorer and a little backward, the earthlings are full of wisdom, and the potential for physical development and brain development are something I have never encountered, and what is even more rare is that such individuals with amazing potential abound on the earth, which is a height that is difficult to reach for countless thousands of years of development on other planets.

In addition, the boss you are selected by the dream system and will get a lot of help. ”

Zhang Bing said excitedly, "It's a pity that my authority is not enough, if my authority is enough, I will open the interstellar teleportation array of the dream system, and what the boss wants will be directly selected from the damn warehouse that doesn't know which corner of the universe is hidden."

Of course, it is more convenient for the boss to make what he wants directly. ”

Zhang Shusheng laughed, he had long known that the dream system was not just a magical item the size of a set-top box, but a very large system, and what he got was the system itself, which came with a terminal.

The Dream System comes with a wonderful interstellar teleportation array, which can directly teleport goods that are not known where to hide, and of course, can also directly create some items.

"You kid always loves to dream, if you have permission, the system's warehouse will definitely let us empty it." Zhang Shusheng scolded with a smile, this kid is still very naughty.

"Boss, I mean really, I feel that my permissions will be lifted one day, and there is a program telling me that one day I will replace the cold system and give the boss the greatest help."

Zhang Bing thought about it with some doubts, but he still couldn't remember, he only knew that there were some program data segments in his database that implied his surname, but he couldn't fully interpret them.

"Then I'll wait for that day."

Zhang Shusheng didn't say much, and the two began to select the goods.
