Chapter 66 Energy Shortage

Looking at the bright lights in the distance, Yu Yifeng was slightly excited.

Such an immersive feeling is incomparable to no amount of photos.

"It's so dark!" This was his first impression of the Knicks, and the first impression of almost everyone who pioneered it.

But it's much better now. The lights of the industrial area in the distance dispelled this darkness a little, giving off a weak but strong light that made everyone's heart a little more grounded.

He is actually a bit of a virgin, and he wants to take care of any difficulties by himself, which is the case when he is a soldier, and he is still the same when he is a leader of civilization...... This kind of personality may be born and cannot be changed.

It is precisely because of this that he is very talkative to his own people and has won the heartfelt love of his subordinates. After all, everyone likes to be easy to talk and lead gently......

In particular, the group of big scientists often "bullied" him, talked to him unceremoniously, and oppressed him in all kinds...... Yu Yifeng is always submissive, looking happy.

Of course, this kind of "Madonna" is limited to one's own people, and it is necessary to distinguish it from "Madonna" in a broad sense. He is not merciful to the enemy, and he will kill those who should be killed.

With Yi Feng's temper, watching the people under his hands struggle hard in the Knick Star, there is always an inexplicable discomfort.

If he stays in the Noah all the time, he will definitely not be able to stay.

In fact, his heart was as anxious as the group of scientists, eager to go down and check it out for himself......

This urgency, of course, also has a kind of exploration and curiosity unique to men.

It's just that after so many years, he has been able to dislike it and not show this urgency on his face.

Now that the rear is stable, the morale of the people is strong, and the Minister of Security Xu Yunjin is in charge, he can't wait to come to the front line.

Even if someone objected, he forcibly pressed it back, and the beautiful name was "Inspect the progress of the project...... Because, the first phase of the construction project is almost completed!

He was accompanied by more than 30 soldiers and more than 60 scientists and engineers. After they got off the spaceship, they immediately said goodbye to Yu Yifeng and took a high-speed train to their respective work areas.

"Very good!" Looking at the industrial factories in front of him, Yu Yifeng sighed with emotion and took some photos at the same time.

His equipment is a custom-made version of Yuriko's meticulous modification, many of the parts are hand-made, using a variety of cutting-edge materials, with higher nerve reflex speed and more powerful athleticism.

At the same time, the fuselage uses a large number of expensive superalloy Z, which can be said to be the one with the strongest comprehensive performance......

The person in charge of receiving Yu Yifeng was the main person in charge of a mining base, named William.

Yu Yifeng recognized him from afar and greeted each other.

Although the power armor adopts a full-enveloping structure, the helmet is still transparent and made of polymer plexiglass, so you can see each other's faces under the light and hear each other's speech through your voice.

Yu Yifeng and several soldiers around him followed behind William. They wandered around the area, passing along the way, and when they saw the various buildings, William would give them a little introduction.

"That's a water purification plant...... At present, some of the ice ore we have collected has been transported back to the Noah by empty boat, which can stop the shortage of water inside. ”

"However, all industrial resources, such as steel, copper, aluminum, etc., are still in the process of production and reuse, and cannot be fed back to Noah for the time being. Our industrial capacity is doubling in two months, and in another two to three months, we expect to release a large amount of mineral resources to ship back to the Noah......"

William is a well-known engineer who has been in charge of managing the mining team since his time on Mars, and has a lot of experience as a team leader.

He is also responsible for the construction of the entire base of the planet of Knicks, and knows the buildings inside out.

Yu Yifeng nodded, please don't be in a hurry for the time being, you can still afford to wait for a few months. Humans may stay here for a long time, maybe even generations, dozens of generations, until they break through to the interstellar civilization!

"Captain, you see, this huge cement square is the main transportation center, covering an area of 10.3 square kilometers, and all kinds of airships from the Noah will be docked in this square. We use high-speed trains to transport the machinery that comes down from the empty boats to the various mines. ”

Yu Yifeng nodded again, he did see many empty boats unloading goods, and countless robots were busy in the square, numerous, but orderly.

Immediately after that, a group of people boarded a high-speed train.

Because the various areas are far apart, you can only take a train to visit them.

"This is the central command, 12 km from the transport center. The central command is currently the most central area and has the best experimental equipment, and most of our staff are concentrated here......"

“…… This stainless steel track processing plant has a daily output of one thousand tons. The Nix Star has oxygen, and some corrosive gases, and our train tracks must be resistant to oxidation......"

"This small glacial lake is in a state of development and can provide us with water."

Yu Yifeng sat on the high-speed train, spent three hours, traveled 400 kilometers back and forth, and finally took a look at the entire industrial system.

Due to the distribution of mineral resources, 11 small bases are located in different regions, but the high-speed train tracks have completely connected them. Many bases are not even manned, and they are fully automated and intelligently operated, and if there is anything else, they only need to be remotely commanded by the central command.

William, as the main person in charge of the reclamation work, could not be clearer about these projects.

After visiting one project after another, Yu Yifeng nodded in addition to nodding, like a woodpecker.

No way...... He really couldn't fault anything!

"Is there anything you need support?" Yu Yifeng thought for a while and asked, "Mr. William, do you feel the inadequacy of the entire industrial system?" If you have any questions, just ask, don't be polite to me. ”

As a layman, Yu Yifeng really couldn't see any shortcomings in it, he was already very satisfied.

William thought about it carefully, and nodded genuinely: "There is no problem at the moment, and the progress is relatively smooth." But if our industrial system expands several times more, the energy brought from the Noah will not be enough. ”

"At the moment our main mode of power generation is nuclear, but strangely, the exploration robots have not found uranium deposits in this area. Even with the expansion of the search area, we still have not found any large uranium deposits. ”

"Nuclear energy is a precious resource, many of our spacecraft engines are used, neutral excavators are also used, and it would be too wasteful to use them to produce steel and cement. So if we continue to expand, the energy problem may become a constraint, and we would better move to a cheaper source of energy. ”
