After the meeting, Zhang Yuan specially called Ye Kaifu, the chief mineral engineer of the Ministry of Industry, and made him a cup of tea with a smile.

"The scientific research results in the past two years are still very good, if we continue to stay in Gliese 581, how can there be such an achievement? Alas, war is indeed a good channel for progress. We have even plundered only a small part of the achievements of the third-level civilization, and we have such a good development, which saves I don't know how much time. ”

Ye Kaifu took a sip of water unceremoniously: "You still want to rob a more powerful civilization?" You're impatient, captain, aren't you? ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Don't think that the advanced civilization is more powerful than us, for example, this Bardit civilization, if it is a few million more and consumes the potential of its own race, but it has not established a better system for a long time, it is likely to regress and even collapse itself......"

"It is impossible for such a regressive civilization to exist in the universe."

"Recession is a common thing in the universe, just like the history of the earth's civilization, the sun never sets on the decline of the empire, and then there is the rise of subsequent countries......"

After chatting some gossip, Zhang Yuan changed his words and got down to business: "By the way, rhodium and platinum still need to be mined a little more, and they can be used in the future...... The manufacture of a supermagnetic A generator requires a large number of users of both elements. ”

"Nuclear fuel replenishment should also be hurried, our spacecraft had better be able to carry finished raw materials, with enough raw materials, at least in the bottom of my heart. And is there a problem with the entire smelting project? Do you want more manpower? ”

Here it comes!

This guy really wants to ask this!

Ye Kaifu's old face suddenly wrinkled like a crumpled piece of paper, and the feeling of being on the verge of sudden death appeared again.

"The one who owes the debt is the uncle! I'm afraid of him! ”

Thinking of this, Ye Kaifu crossed his legs, and said locally: "There is too much time to work overtime." I looked at the hospital a few days ago and said that I was old and had some problems with my heart pacing...... Lao Zhang, look, can I take a leave of absence for a few days? ”

"Oh......" Zhang Yuan said casually: "Then approve you to change to a biomimetic heart, and after the operation is completed, you can rest for half a day...... It's just a minor surgery. ”

"It's only been a long time......"

Ye Kaifu said again: "My wife's tooth hurts a little, and I want to accompany her to the hospital." It's been a long delay, and if you delay it any longer, your whole face will swell. ”

"Oh, approve you for another half-day vacation."

"Li Zhendong has hemorrhoids in the past few days, and I want to accompany him to the hospital for surgery."

Zhang Yuan looked up at the ceiling: "Approve your half-day vacation again." ”

"Colonel Guo, it seems that he has a little shoulder pain these days, and I want to accompany him to the hospital......

"Well, approve your half-day vacation."

Does that add up to two days of vacation......

Ye Kaifu is simply very happy.

Wait a minute!

He saw Zhang Yuan's ill-intentioned smile, and a stirring spirit in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Yuan said expressionlessly: "I recorded just now, and I will send this message to your wife, Li Zhendong and Guo Qiang's mobile phones." Especially Li Zhendong, does he have hemorrhoids, and he has to lie on the bed for several days after surgery......"

Damn, this guy is still so black-bellied!

Ye Kaifu hurriedly jumped up from the stool and smiled flatteringly, "Delete it, delete it quickly!" Just kidding...... How can you be, don't you just want to rest for a while? ”

Zhang Yuan sighed, "Lie to you, who has time to record here all day long?" ”

"However, your mineral mining and smelting team, although the task is very heavy, it is not a problem to take a few days off once in a while, why do you come to me for advice? Holidays can be closed normally. ”

"Isn't this that there are too many tasks, and I'm afraid of delaying things?" Ye Kaifu returned to his seriousness.

Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while, Lao Ye had nagged in front of him that he wanted to take a holiday many times, but he didn't have a holiday once, which can be regarded as the hardest department.

He sighed slightly: "I just had a meeting to discuss, the technology of the Haiyan-IV spacecraft is not in place, so the relevant machines do not need to be manufactured in large quantities." There's also a lot less demand for mineral resources, so you can take a few days off and get out of the way. We're going to stay here for two more years, enough for you to dig up a lot of minerals. ”

"Really?" Ye Kaifu took a sip of water, and his fingers couldn't help but gesture for a moment.

Then, he suddenly realized that his excitement seemed a little out of place, and he couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

The technology of the Haiyan-IV spacecraft is not in place, so it is not good news......

Zhang Yuan didn't care about the other party's expression, just silently thinking about something.

Looking down at the planet from this place, the development of this planet by human beings is only a small part, not even one in ten thousand.

This planet is so active that because it was formed only 300 million years ago, the planet rotates at a rapid speed, which reduces a lot of difficulties for the laying of space elevators.

But because the planet is so young, there is still a small amount of atmosphere on the surface that has not yet escaped. There are many kinds of geological disasters, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and other chaotic accidents, and there are a large number of harmful gases in the atmosphere.

Fortunately, human beings are no longer the human beings they used to be, and some important factories are carried on transport spaceships. In case of emergency, it can take off and evacuate in an emergency.

The progress of the whole industry, although not too smooth, is not impossible to develop.

The accumulation of experience is still a very important step, in case of any emergency situation in the future, it is necessary to forcibly exploit this kind of planetary supplementary resources, and when the time comes, it will definitely be worth the loss to temporarily explore the relevant experience.

"Do you know what we're most pressing about right now?"

"What?" Ye Kaifu wondered.

"Shield!" Zhang Yuanluo said excitedly: "A third-level civilization can theoretically have shield technology. The electromagnetic shield that is barely achievable at the moment is still too weak, and we need a real ion shield! With the ion shield, when encountering a more low-level civilization, it is to be hanged, and there is no need to be afraid of anything again. ”

In interstellar warfare, the fastest weapon is the laser, followed by the ion cannon.

The Ion Shield can defend against mainly laser weapons, and it can also weaken some of the power of the Ion Cannon.

Both of these weapons are high-speed weapons that are difficult to intercept, and if they can be neutralized by ion shields, they will undoubtedly be invincible in the wars of lower civilizations.

Of course, the Ion Shield isn't invincible.

The electromagnetic cannon can break the defense, but the speed of the electromagnetic cannon is generally not too fast, at least it is impossible to reach a level close to the speed of light.

There is also antimatter weapons, which are the category of higher-level interstellar warfare.

"Didn't you say that there is a low-level civilization at the next foothold?" Ye Kaifu said: "We won't be afraid of low-level civilizations. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Yes, what is it called that has been discovered by the Badit civilization...... The Riley civilization, a primitive civilization that has not yet developed technology. Unfortunately, the Bhatit civilization was not interested in it and did not investigate it in depth. ”

"But that was a thousand years ago. Who knows what will happen in a thousand years? ”

"I bet nothing will happen in a thousand years. Primitive civilization is still primitive civilization. ”

"Bet?" Zhang Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "Forget it, I don't think anything will happen...... Should be a very interesting trip. ”
