"The first phase of the Lal Nara thermal power station has been completed! Supporting steel plants have also been completed, and self-sufficient industrial activities such as mining, power generation, and smelting have begun in the area. Ｘ”

When Yu Yifeng saw this report, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is the first large-scale geothermal power station of the new human civilization, built on the "Lalnara Volcano".

This megavolcano erupted violently 3,000 years ago, causing a huge environmental disaster at the time.

The eruption also killed most of the creatures underground, blocking many of the cavities underground.

In the 3,000 years since the eruption, underground life has reappeared, but not enough to form a continuous underground cavern.

So after discovering this location, people decided to mine in this area and built corresponding ironworks and power stations!

The entire ironworks and power stations are fully automated.

After all, power generation and ironmaking are all "stupid" automation equipment. It is enough for humans to remotely control it.

"But there is still the possibility of a volcanic eruption!"

Yu Yifeng said worriedly, although a lot of investigations had been done before, but ...... Probability, who knows?

What if?

"Captain, there is nothing in the world that is necessarily safe."

"The eruption cycle of Lalnara volcano is 20,000 to 30,000 years, and now it is only 3,000 years later, and it is a small probability event that it erupts again in the short term. But compare the enormous amount of energy that can be obtained...... It's worth the risk! ”

Simonson, an engineer standing at his desk, said: "This geothermal power plant can produce 200 billion kilowatt hours of electricity a year! If it's a thermal power station, 70 million tons of fossil fuels are needed! ”

"Seven million tons! This alone allows us to reduce a lot of transportation costs......"

"Again...... There are a lot of ore resources there, which can be smelted while digging, which is convenient! If the ore is transported around, it will increase the amount of work! ”

Yu Yifeng nodded, he understood all these truths: "Okay, I understand, Engineer Simonson, then the second phase of the project, let's start according to the plan......"

"But beware of the hollows in the ground, we'd rather waste a little time and choose a safe location, you know?"

After thousands of instructions, the engineer said goodbye, and Yu Yifeng fell into thought alone.

Since the beginning of the "Deep Space Program", the new human civilization has cherished fossil energy to the extreme.

According to geologists' estimates, Nix accumulates more than 100 times as much fossil fuel as Earth, but most of it is hidden at the bottom of the deep sea, which is difficult to extract.

The rest, which is about ten times the size of the Earth, may seem like a lot, but the amount of work required for the Deep Space Program is simply too large...... The four main reactors alone, each twice the size of Mount Everest, are insane!

"Resources, should be enough, the planet's easily exploitable iron resources in 400 billion tons. Energy...... I guess that's enough. ”

Yu Yifeng looked at the report carefully, thinking about it.

It is difficult for humans to accurately estimate how much energy is needed to build this large spaceship...... However, according to simple calculations, 1.2 trillion tons of combustible ice would need to be used up on Nix, which is equivalent to 1.2-1.8 times the fossil fuel reserves of the planet.

"Plus, if we can pack it up, we can leave a lot of it for the lizardmen......

Yu Yifeng thought in his heart, "It's really lucky, the race of good luck ......"

Of course, after the humans leave, whether this group of lizards can develop into an interstellar civilization is another matter......

"It's too difficult...... Thinking of the big filters, Yu Yifeng didn't have much expectation of them in his heart.

In any case, the establishment of geothermal power stations is still very necessary, and there are huge mineral resources in the general volcanic belt.

Not only to save energy, but also to reduce the amount of work, after the establishment of the power station, the trinity of mining, power generation and smelting can be realized.

Such a spark has gradually spread to the whole world.

Even a small number of highly intelligent lizards were involved in this work......

In the dark universe, the fossil energy on the planet is a small match, which, if lit, will gain an entire forest; If you can't, you'll be trapped on the planet!

"Knock knock", there was a knock outside the door.

"Please come in!" Yu Yifeng Road.

It was Professor Sean, the propaganda minister of the Noah, who was now in charge of the ideological education of the lizard natives, and came to Yi Feng's office to report on the work.

Of course, the education of the lizard natives is still very important.

It is very cost-effective to have a large number of primary workers by spending only a small amount of effort to popularize primary education.

In particular, the profession of "teacher" has also appeared within the lizard population, and self-education has been realized internally, so that it is easier for humans.

"At the moment, these lizard natives are still normal, and there are no signs of restlessness. The architecture of humans is heaven for them, these lizards...... Not even a motive to resist. ”

"Defiance...... You have to have more interests to resist, huh? Let's not talk about whether they will be suppressed, after rebelling against humans, what do they eat and use? Continue to live the life of primitive people? ”

Facing Yi Feng's worried gaze, Sean explained, "All rebellion requires a motive. ”

"So...... We only provide some primary education and only have an employment system. We don't interfere in the internal affairs of their race, and if they don't want to do it, they can just leave. ”

“…… It doesn't even matter much if you go back to the village and open a factory! The question is, is it possible? Without enough technology accumulation, without enough talents, they can't open factories. The time of social evolution is still too short, they are just primitive times......"

Professor Sean smiled and said, "...... And now they have more and more exposure to robots, and less and less contact with humans. There is less contact, and the image of human beings is becoming more and more mysterious. ”

Yu Yifeng looked at the information in his hand, and said with some emotion: "After such a long time, they still have not appeared in the commodity economy, and there is no emergence of a large number of handicrafts. In fact, it is equivalent to ...... The whole nation is working for humanity, and we take it for granted. ”

"Even if there are some factories inside the lizard, it is only certain food factories or service industries, and their goods cannot compete with the high-quality goods of humans...... In this way, as soon as the large factories are opened, they will quickly close down, and naturally there will be no national industry. It's a bit like the time period at the end of the Qing Dynasty......"

"They want to catch up with us, it's too hard, it's almost impossible."

"Without humans, their living conditions will quickly deteriorate and even return to primitiveness. So they also lose the incentive to resist...... All revolts are revolts of exploitation within civilization and have nothing to do with humanity. ”

"Is this the crushing of economy and strength? Not even war, effortlessly...... It simply enslaves a civilization. Yu Yifeng thought stunned.

"Yes, there was such a history during the Earth period, but the gap between the two sides was not that big. So what do you think we should do with these poor lizards when we're gone? Their economic system will collapse quickly......"

Professor Sean asked.

"I haven't figured this out yet." Yu Yifeng smiled: "It's still early, don't worry, let's see what changes will happen next...... r
