Chapter 16 The Era of Great Construction
When more and more people ignited their fighting spirit, Yu Yifeng decisively announced the start of the grain transformation plan.
"I announce that the Food Transformation Program has been officially launched!"
The machine rotates and the motor roars, which is a unique movement belonging to the era of great construction. Many people held their breath in their hearts, gritted their teeth, endured the grief in their hearts, and threw themselves into their work.
If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence!
A labor force of 50,000 people, according to normal conditions, is equivalent to only a medium-sized town. But with 50,000 high-quality talents, coupled with all kinds of automated machinery, the productivity can be compared to a small country!
Many scientific experiments have been forcibly halted, freeing up not only manpower but also electricity. For example, a large hadron collider, with a power of almost 120,000 kilowatts, is too big, cut it! A supercomputer consumes 20,000 kWh of electricity per hour, and there are dozens or hundreds of them, which is too much, so cut it in half!
There are many similar miscellaneous experiments, such as those that study missiles, chemistry, and physics, as long as they are not highly related to agricultural development, they are either cut down or shelved. Although scientific experiments are also very important, they can only stand on the back burner than the food crisis.
There is also a little episode here, the previous few base officials actually did a good thing unintentionally!
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and even the "noble" moon base is no exception. In fact, every five or six years, there is an era of major construction, and the core reason for this is the political needs of the upper echelons.
Over the years, the base has become bigger and bigger, more and more things have been built, and there are trillions of dollars sent by so many local tyrants every year, and the flowers can't be spent, what should I do?
If you can't spend it, you don't have enough ability, and you have to deduct political points! Some facilities that were originally useless will be built because of the "need for political performance". These face projects and image projects are still okay in terms of quality, and now they happen to be put in use!
The extra factories, the extra nuclear power plants, were almost useless in the past, but now it is different, when Yu Yifeng saw these equipment that had been abandoned for many years, he almost jumped up with excitement. For every additional one, there is more strength, how can it be said that it is useless?
The people were divided into eighteen brigades, each of which was divided into working groups. This construction is not for political achievements, but for the survival of all mankind!
According to the plan made at the meeting, everyone has their own work, and all the staff implement a food rationing system, and the food is not good, but it is full. Because food is too precious to be wasted!
With a planned economy and equal distribution, everyone has eaten a big pot of rice, and as for wages, there is no ...... The original dollar system has long been abandoned, and it seems to be an institutional regression, but from the current situation, it seems to be the best option.
Sharing weal and woe, 50,000 people is actually not much, and it can be planned to the point. As for the motivation to work, the threat of death alone can survive, and if you don't work, everyone will starve to death!
To be honest, Yu Yifeng has little experience in managing this aspect of work. This is very busy for him, when he first got started, he ran around the field, and almost made a mistake in the middle. Fortunately, the superhuman body has a high physical fitness, and it can be eaten without rest for a long time. In addition, his learning ability is relatively strong, and he has a talent in this area, and he has gradually gotten started to get started in a few days, and the base has begun to run in an orderly manner.
Now, he has to handle dozens of administrative instructions every day, hold seven or eight meetings, and inspect everywhere to reassure people's hearts, and he is busy and anxious, working 18 hours a day, but seeing that the base is getting better day by day, he has a sense of fulfillment in his heart.
At this moment, Yu Yifeng is taking a high-speed train to the "uranium resource mining group".
The "uranium resource mining team" is one of the most important production teams among the 18 teams, and the main work station is on the uranium mine, which is less than 100 kilometers from the base.
With a mining capacity of about 80,000 tons, this uranium mine is also a first-class mine on earth, and 70% of the electricity in the base is supplied by nuclear power plants. Therefore, this uranium mine is the lifeblood of the entire base, and it must not be sloppy!
The environment on the moon is very harsh, the gravity is only one-sixth of that of the earth, and it often reaches minus 180 degrees at night and minus 120 degrees during the day. Over the course of three decades, scientists have devised a special mining technique.
The temperature difference here is too large, and under the thermal expansion and contraction, some shallow mineral deposits and rocks are quite fragile and easy to break when they move, which greatly simplifies the collection of minerals. Therefore, scientists have designed a highly automated mining vehicle for mining.
This mining truck is a bit like a combination of a drill and an excavator, it is huge, a full twenty meters high, equivalent to the height of a five- or six-story building! When mining, the ore is crushed with a drill and then shoveled onto the body with a mechanical shovel, which is very complicated to operate in pairs.
These ores, not only uranium resources, but also a large number of non-ferrous metals and other resources, anyway, the whole thing is transported back together for the factory to dispose of.
Of course, sometimes when you encounter a rock that is too hard, you will use the method of "shelling" to blow up the ore directly with a bomb. The combination of the two methods greatly accelerates mining efficiency.
Don't think that if there is no air on the moon, you can't hear a little sound, and sound is not necessarily transmitted by the air, like the earth, machinery, etc. can be a medium of transmission. Through these mediums, sound can still be transmitted to the ear.
Yu Yifeng felt that the earth was shaking from afar, and there was a strange sound like "dong dong dong" drumming, which sounded a little faint, but it was shocking.
When he arrived at the inspection point, a group of more than a dozen people happened to get out of the mine and into the house to rest, they took off their spacesuits and gasped for breath. According to the regulations, absentees will be given a one-hour break after four hours of work.
Although it is said that there is no need for manual mining, the cumbersome spacesuit and complex operation also bring a lot of trouble to the operation. It can be said that mining is not only mental work, but also physical work.
When one of the absentees saw Yu Yifeng, he was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly ran over, he took off his helmet, revealing a young face.
This is about a twenty-year-old black guy, he looked at Yu Yifeng, and said with some doubts: "You...... You are Yu ...... Captain Yu? ”
"Yes! You've worked hard. Yu Yifeng smiled and nodded undeniably.
"Ahh Come on, everyone! The black guy suddenly shouted, "Yu ...... Captain Yu is here! He didn't know Chinese yet, and he spoke English that he wasn't very proficient in, and shouted as he gestured.
There was something like this the other day, and people were curious about transhumans, perfectionists, alien spaceships, and things like that. There were doubts, there were those who didn't believe it, and some people asked him if his thousand-year lifespan was real, and Yu Yifeng answered them one by one.
When they got an affirmative answer, a sparkle of hope broke out in their eyes. Wouldn't it be nice if all humans lived ten times longer with Perfectin...... Although the current level of science and technology is not up to standard, it has also given everyone a hope!
But this time there was something different, after a large group of big men heard it, they immediately surrounded him, and there was still a look of reverence in his eyes, and he felt that something was wrong.
Captain Yu ...... Amen...... Savior...... Son of God ......"
The crowd began to speak, some of them slurring and slurping, and the language was not even proficient. But Yu Yifeng could see that this was not flattery, but a sincere compliment.
It took a long time to understand that these absenteeism was so happy because they ate vegetables.
Since they came to the moon, they have been eating high-energy compressed food, this kind of food is a bit like jelly, full of fat, sugar and protein, nutritionally it is actually good, but the taste is really not good, eating too much is very crooked, but there is no way, you can't starve to death.
Just yesterday, because of the unified supply of food, everyone was given a cabbage, so I specially expressed my gratitude to Yu Yifeng.
Ate a cabbage tree...... Is that that fun......
