Just when Lu Chen was thinking about whether to make his own chips, his submarine exploration robot made a new discovery.

"Here's an important discovery, sir"

As Zero's voice remembered, Lu Chen stopped thinking.

"Zero, what did you find?"

"Sir, the prospecting robot at the bottom of the ocean has discovered a small open pit uranium mine in a trench,"

"Really?"

"Yes sir, let's talk about the location now."

After speaking, on the holographic platform, a holographic map of the Annam region appeared, and in a place outside the sea area of Annam, red dots flashed

After Lu Chen enlarged the red dot, the specific image was displayed,

Looking at the image transmitted by the robot in real time, in the depths of a trench, a small piece of uranium ore was exposed, and after using prospecting instruments to probe, it was found that the uranium ore reserves were about 1,000 tons, and if all of them were mined, after refining, about 700 kilograms of enriched uranium could be obtained, of which uranium-235 was only a few kilograms, and the rest were uranium-238.

Lu Chen wanted to upgrade the power system before, and the current geothermal generator is only enough for the shelter's own equipment, and a lot of electrical equipment has been manufactured recently, so the power has begun to be scarce.

It just so happens that now that there is this uranium mine, Lu Chen is going to verify the fast reactor technology in the database around the No. 1 shelter, although the dragon country has already built a test reactor, but has he done it himself, he has to verify it first,

Lu Chen plans to wait for the completion of the fast reactor nuclear power plant on the side of Shelter 1 and the technology to be mature, and then build it here in Shelter 0.

"Zero, now keep a submarine prospecting robot, and the other robots will replace the equipment, mine all the uranium ore in this area, and then set up a uranium ore purification equipment in the far side of Shelter 1,

In addition, the transportation of metal resources to our place in Shelter No. 1 has been suspended, and the construction needs of purification equipment have been fully guaranteed.

By the way, after the uranium ore is purified, the uranium-235 and uranium-238 will be separated, and the uranium-235 will be temporarily sealed, this thing is a bit sensitive, or not let others know for the time being, and wait until the technical verification is mature, and then I will buy uranium-238 from the official, this thing can't be used as a nuclear weapon, and it's not very sensitive. ”

As Lu Chen spoke, he opened the fast reactor data and began to study the technology in depth.

Because I only took a general look at it before, and didn't study it in depth, but I didn't expect that I would encounter uranium mines so soon,

After having uranium mines, as long as the operation of fast reactors can be successfully realized, then they will not be limited in energy for the time being.

And when Lu Chen was researching, Zero was also acting,

After receiving Lu Chen's instructions, the instructions were conveyed to the No. 1 shelter, and then, all the hexapod robots on the periphery of the No. 1 shelter returned to the shelter and began to carry materials, and began to build separation and purification equipment two kilometers away from the shelter, and the exploration robots on the seabed began to return except for one that continued its own offshore exploration.

After the submarine prospecting robot returns to the shelter, install the excavated equipment that has been prepared on itself and start charging.

At this time, Zero reported to Lu Chen, reminding Lu Chen that if he needed to mine quickly, he needed to provide enough power for the robot to use.

Previous prospecting operations were in a low-power state, generally rarely sending new commands, just going in one direction, recording the location after detecting the metal resources.

The data will be uploaded every time it returns to charge.

Now, mining needs to be controlled in real time, so the power consumption has increased dramatically.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen checked the resource reserves of Shelter No. 1, and ordered Zero to let Shelter No. 1 start producing a batch of spare batteries.

In this way, add another set of batteries to the submarine robot to increase its mining time to one day, and then set up a battery replacement station by the sea, so that the robot can directly replace the battery here, and then let the hexapod robot replace it regularly.

After Lu Chen continued his research, he began to allocate resources and carry out tasks on multiple lines.

Soon, some of the hexapod robots went to the beach with materials to build a battery replacement site, and at the same time, the production of backup batteries began in Shelter 1, and some of the hexapod robots went to build purification equipment two kilometers next to the shelter.

The next day, after a night's rest, Lu Chen got up full of energy, and at this time Zero reported yesterday's construction progress,

"Sir, in two days the purification plant will be built, and the first batch of ore has been mined and piled up next to the battery swapping station.

A tractor separated from the mine was already running at full capacity, but it was still running low. ”

"In this way, there should be a lot of trucks on the side of the mine, look for it to see if there are any that have not been driven away, transform it, use it to pull the mine, and after the resources are sufficient, look for the entire mining area, and transform all the trucks that can be found into electric drives, so that these vehicles can be used normally."

After receiving the order, the zero began to arrange,

And Lu Chen's side, after yesterday's in-depth research, already knows the method of building a fast reactor, and he will start the experiment when the materials are complete.

It's okay today, Lu Chen is going to adjust the chicken farm, the previous free-range breeding model is not very suitable for underground, and it needs to be adjusted

Because of free-range breeding, it is difficult to clean the inside of the chicken coop, Lu Chen plans to divide the chicken coop into two parts, a small piece as a rest area for the chickens, and a large part as the chicken activity area, and then use an automatic cleaning system on the ground.

In this way, the chickens clean the activity area when they rest, clean the rest area when they go out, and the sewage flows into the biogas digester to produce biogas, so that a set of small cycles is completed.

A few days later, after the chicken coop was renovated, Lu Chen put the locked chickens back into the chicken coop, and after the chickens were free, they ran happily back and forth in the activity area.

Lu Chen sprinkled some food again, and after watching the chickens grab food normally, he returned to the studio.

In the studio, Lu Chen asked about the recent situation of Shelter 01,

"Sir, after a few days of construction, the purification equipment has been installed and officially entered the state of use.

Through the search of the entire mining area, 10 trucks with different loads were found, with a total load of 500 tons, one of which reached a load of 100 tons, and the others were trucks with a load of dozens of tons, and now a 40-ton truck has been renovated and can be used normally"

"Very good, I finally heard good news, how is the progress of seabed mining?"

"Because of the guaranteed energy supply, the current progress of seabed mining is very fast, and 50 tons of ore can be transported back to the sea every day, and after the accumulation of these days, 100 tons of uranium ore have accumulated on the seaside"

"Very good, in this case, the first fast reactor can be built soon, Zero, you continue to mine on your side, and I will figure out a way to deal with the plutonium-239 thing, and you will continue to maintain the progress on your side"

"Yes, sir"

After Zero was busy, Lu Chen thought about it for a while and decided to find an official exchange for plutonium 239.

After deciding, Lu Chen took out the communicator and contacted Li Yunpeng, the leader of the military team last time.

After a few words of greeting, Lu Chen went straight to the point

"Team Leader Li, I found a small uranium mine in Annan, and after purification, I can get about 3 kilograms of high-concentration enriched uranium, I wonder if the military is interested in trading it?"

Li Yunpeng was also shocked after hearing this, high-concentration enriched uranium can be used to make a nuclear bomb, what does Lu Chen want to do?

But thinking that Lu Chen dared to say this matter, it proved that Lu Chen had no bad ideas,

"Mr. Lu, this matter is too big, I don't know what you need to trade? I'll report to my superiors here."

"Team Leader Li don't need to be nervous, although I'm not a good person, but I won't make a nuclear bomb as a big killer, this time the main thing is that I want to end the electricity problem of my shelter once and for all, so I'm going to build a fast reactor, I need some part 239, and I can't use uranium-235, so I want to trade with the official and exchange it for a little plutonium,"

"Then Mr. Lu, wait a minute, I'll report to my superiors"

After Li Yunpeng reported the matter, the central authorities were also taken aback, but after understanding the situation, they decided to change it after a little discussion.

After receiving the notice, Li Yunpeng informed Lu Chen that he could trade after he was ready.
