Chapter 6: Transformation!
"Nickname Outside! The Hope standard space mining machine was used smoothly without any safety incidents, and it is said that experts say that its safety surname even exceeds that of cars and airplanes......"
"Nickname Outside! The first space mining obtained a total of more than 50 tons of minerals! In the future, with the increase of space mining machines, the ore produced can reach up to thousands of tons! ”
"Nickname Wai ......"
Early in the morning, on the three floors of the Hope, there were many newsboys shouting and selling the Hope Weekly Newspaper, these newsboys were all teenagers, selling newspapers in the morning among many people who went to work, of course, they were located in public places with nearby card marks, and it was impossible to run around, like real newsboys.
The price of each newspaper has changed from the original 0.2 human coins to the current price of 0.5 human coins, but it is also cheap, only four weeks a month, at most five weeks, and about two human coins are calculated, which is a militia reservist with a salary of 120 human coins per month, and it can basically be afforded.
There is so little entertainment on the Hope, and in addition to the important news of the week, there are also some knowledge about the universe in the newspaper, and there are some serialized stories, some written by the passengers on the Hope, and some chapters reprinted from some famous books, it can be said that this weekly newspaper is one of the few entertainment on the Hope.
At this moment on the side of the street, Qi Xiaoniao, Lin Qiuqiu, and Wang Dandan were holding fritters and drinking soy milk, while watching many pedestrians on the street hurry, but they were there laughing.
Lin Qiuqiu took the lead and said: "Yes, it seems that this week's newspaper sales can break 40,000, I was still worried that if the price is raised to 0.5 human currency, the sales volume will drop very exaggeratedly, but now it seems that there is no problem, hehe, sure enough, most of the shares and management rights will be transferred to the political axe, and we will only take the dry shares and dividends, this decision is fantastic." ”
Wang Dandan was just eating next to him, nodding his head but not speaking.
Qi Xiaoniao said with a smile: "You know, we are the first to eat crabs, so we got the benefits, but this benefit is too hot for us to grasp, you know, this can be regarded as the only newspaper on the Hope, what does this mean?" The only propaganda position, no matter what kind of political axe, as long as it still maintains clarity and sovereignty, it is impossible to hand this thing over to others, understand? Isn't it enough for one of us to take 10 percent of the dividends? It's a few hundred human coins a month, and with the increase of population and development in the future, maybe the dividend ratio will decrease, but the dividends we get will only increase. ”
The other two nodded, Qi Xiaoniao ate the fritters in a few bites, he laughed twice, causing passers-by to look at it inexplicably, he didn't mind, and said directly to the two: "Buddy, hurry up and finish eating, we'll go to the Internet café in a while, I really didn't kill enough yesterday, StarCraft 3, Warcraft 4, have a good time today." ”
On the other side, a large number of people holding newspapers, taking advantage of the time before going to work, all carefully read the content on it, many people's attention was focused on a large number of minerals, only a few people turned their attention to the kind of space mining machine, and they each had some ideas in their hearts.
At the same time, the interior of the Hope is also working overtime to smelt and purify those minerals, and at the same time use various steels and alloys in stock, as well as parts, to make space mining machines, and the entire fourth and fifth floors of the Hope are busy.
"Are you running out of people?" Yao Yuan looked at the reports written by several principals, which all mentioned the problem of manpower.
In the past, when the staff was recruited, they were recruited with ordinary work intensity, but at present, the mining industry and the manufacturing industry are almost 24 hours of overtime, and the manpower aspect has naturally become a big problem.
But there is really no need to worry about this, not to mention the tens of thousands of unemployed people, there are many industries that are actually full of labor recruitment, such as the service industry, so you only need to announce the lack of workers, and soon you will get together the staff here, which is really not to worry.
Yao Yuan was not worried, but a faint joy filled his heart, in fact, not only him, but many people in the know.
First of all, cosmic mining has been implemented, and the most critical radioactive minerals have been found, which shows that the basic conditions for space transition have been met, which is the most important one, and secondly, Hope has been supplemented with foreign substances, and various compounds have raw materials, fertilizers, strong acids, and chemicals, which have been supplemented.
There are many, many other things, such as oxides, from which oxygen can be extracted, and hydrogen is very rich in those substances, which together are water, and oxygen can also be stored in a liquid state and stored for later use.
As for a large number of metal minerals, they can be made into space mining machines and the like, coupled with the busy work, it proves that the humans on the Hope have gradually adapted to this cosmic drift and have begun to work hard, all of which are good news.
Yao Yuan put these reports aside for the time being, wrote the approval and implementation opinions, and then looked at the reports of the scientists.
There is nothing particularly unusual about the scientists' reports, except for the differences in the elements contained in these minerals, as well as the best mineral rocks to bring back from the sorted out, their surface color, size, etc., all of which have been sorted out by scientists.
But one of the reports caught Yao Yuan's attention.
This is a report written by a biological group and a chemical engineering group, in which they explain the possibility of extraterrestrial plant mining.
The survivability of this alien plant is extremely strong, its mature body does not even need an atmosphere and liquids at all, they will devour all kinds of substances they come into contact with very quickly, and then purify it in the body and store it, well, Yao Yuan already knows these things, but it is impossible for him to approve of mining with this alien plant, the key reason is that it cannot be controlled, even if he already knows that he can use a certain plant virus from the earth to restrain it, but what if this plant grows too fast? Or did it accidentally leak it on the Hope?
All in all, if it was just the convenience of mining, then it would be absolutely impossible for Yao Yuan to agree to the use of this alien plant for mining.
However, in the middle of this report, there is a list of things that interest Yao Yuan.
That is, this kind of alien plant devours and purifies the metal substance, in addition to the extremely high purity, there are some special alloys, and these alloys cannot be smelted and forged at the current level of human technology, most of the alloys do not know what the use is, maybe its toughness can be used to make combat weapons in the universe, but it is not useful at present.
There is only one special alloy, which has a high conductivity surname, almost close to the state of a superconductor, can load a very large amount of current, and its extension surname is extremely high, and the moldable surname is also very large.
According to the report, if this special alloy is used to reshape the engines and equipment related to the energy circuit and space jump of Hope, then the space jump of Hope is likely to be stabilized, not to mention no more explosions and short circuits, and it can afford a larger mass jump!
Seeing this, Yao Yuan's whole person almost jumped in shock, he carefully looked at this paragraph back and forth, slowly chewing its Chinese words and meanings, after a long time, he finally issued an order through the liaison in the captain's room, asking the personnel of these two groups to come to the captain's room to meet him, and also notified several physics-related scientists, and even Polly was also present.
After a short time, all the personnel had already gathered in the captain's room, Yao Yuan first read this report to all the unknowing, and then he said: "Everyone, I think you should all know, what is the key to restricting the survival time of the Hope in space, and whether it exists or not? It is the stability and quality of the spatial transition. ”
"First of all, the use of space transition, the greater the mass, the energy consumed will increase by geometric multiples, so it is impossible for the Hope to be filled with people and things, otherwise, if the entire Hope is full, it can be loaded with at least two or three hundred thousand people, as well as a large number of living materials, right?"
"But we only have more than 120,000 people, and even maybe we should only be able to load about 100,000 people, and we can only survive for a few years when there is an ecological park that can produce food. Because we can't take too much with us to make the jump. ”
When Yao Yuan said this, he pointed to the asteroid belt in the distance outside the window and said: "Just like the asteroid belt in front of us, those people think that if we find these, the Hope can be filled with things, and it can jump dozens or hundreds of times in the future, and survive for dozens or hundreds of years, no, it is impossible!" Because we can only load so many things, it is impossible to load more, even if we replenish the consumption here, at most the most, we can only bring enough radioactive minerals as energy, more metals, these are impossible to carry, and even in order to carry more compounds, we even have to throw them away......"
Yao Yuan looked at everyone present seriously, and he said, "I just need you to give me a letter now!" If this special alloy produced by the devouring of alien plants can really improve the energy circuit of the Hope and the equipment related to the spatial transition, and if it can really maintain its transition safety while loading more material mass, then I dare to assure you here. ”
"Any personnel, any material, including the use of alien plants, I can rely on you! The only thing I wanted was the answer. ”
"Yes! Still no! ”
