Datang time and space, somewhere in Texas, USA......

Since it was decided to play airship, it was natural to ensure the supply of helium resources first. After the multi-functional exploration spacecraft stopped the production task that it was originally entertaining, and went all out to produce the corresponding supporting equipment, Li Anran drove the shuttle here.

Texas was chosen because the natural gas wells here contain the highest levels of helium, and at this time, Texas is a very sparsely populated place to describe as a base.

According to the data detected by the Americans themselves, Texas' oil reserves have always occupied the first place in the total reserves of the United States, as high as 22 percent, plus natural gas resources, it is very suitable to use as an energy base.

Although in the eyes of Kotana, the central brain of the multi-functional exploration spacecraft, the human beings of modern time and space have been used to this day, and the fuel energy system with fuel oil and coal as raw materials is too low-level, but it is still very suitable for now.

Even with the skills that Li Anran has mastered now, there is no problem at all if he wants to build a nuclear power plant. But firstly, the operation, maintenance, and maintenance of this thing requires a lot of manpower, and secondly, the nuclear reaction technology is relatively high-end.

Don't look at the electromagnetic pulse engine already used on the Yufeng I airship, in addition to the high-efficiency super battery, it is also equipped with an independent high-efficiency solar power generation system, but if you really want to talk about it, it is still not as high-end as the nuclear reaction technology.

Of course, I don't care how low I can so far. All he cares about is how to be low-cost, efficient, easy to use, and safe enough. Fortunately, the central database on the multifunctional exploration spacecraft is fully capable of meeting these aspects.

In less than half a day, the natural gas well has been installed and commissioned. In order to maximize the use of natural gas and oil resources in Texas, a supporting multi-functional production line has also been established.

The production line is not large, with a diameter of 200 meters, a six-storey hemispherical general purpose plant, which encloses the largest gas and oil wells in an equilateral pentagonal layout, and is also connected to oil and gas pipelines.

There this thing. Natural gas and oil extracted from gas and oil wells. There is no need for other transportation channels, it can be directly sent to the corresponding plant, and then refined and further processed according to the preset program.

At the edge of the warning line in the five factories, automatic turrets like bunkers were erected. Through an automatic fire control system connected to orbiting satellites, early warning radar systems. Enough to secure the entire base in this era.

It's a pity. This multi-functional production line is the previous natural gas well, oil well, although the degree of modularization and automation is quite high. However, it does not mean that you can completely get rid of manpower, so you will not be able to run at full capacity for a while.

Fortunately. Li Anran didn't plan to make it too big at first, as long as he could get the helium out first, and then provide enough fuel to Datang by the way. However, the issue of recruiting and nurturing personnel is once again on the table.

Looking at the construction robots that he forcibly requisitioned from the modern space-time multi-functional exploration spacecraft, and the establishment of this base that will undertake energy supply work with frighteningly fast efficiency, Li Anran said to himself with joy and depression in his heart:

"Hell! It doesn't matter if you can't make a high-intelligence robot like Qianjichang, that kind of special nanomaterial is indeed very black technology. What can be said that with the technology of modern time and space, even a big killer like an engineering robot can't be made? You have to use people. ”

It's just that complaining is complaining, and Li Anran also knows that if he can make intelligent robots in large quantities, with his lazy temper, it is estimated that if he is not careful, he will use intelligent robots in large quantities, thus breaking the entire Datang time and space.

In addition, judging from the data provided by the intelligent brain Kotana, although the manufacture of an intelligent robot is not troublesome, if it wants to be mass-produced, it is bound to go to many aspects.

Moreover, with the virtual reality system on the multifunctional exploration spacecraft, the biggest problem of talent training has been solved. The rest is to provide a sufficient amount of "materials", that is, human beings, for this reason, Li Anran had to become a human trafficker.

Taking advantage of the fact that the helium manufacturing equipment here in Texas was officially put into operation, seeing that the construction work here was completely useless, Li Anran deliberately went to Xiaoyao Villa, Liuqiu Island, Tachibana's house and Abramos on the Silk Road.

If it were in modern time and space, Li Anran's order to "buy infants and young children between birth and six years old as much as possible" would inevitably attract a lot of condemnation and trouble once it was discovered by the outside world. But in the Datang space, this is not a problem at all.

Although most of the servant markets in the Datang time and space countries are dominated by adulthood, just adulthood or adulthood, as later generations said, "there is a market where there is demand", as long as they are willing to give money, there are always people who are willing to do this business.

For Fusang and Liuqiu, Li Anran's request is that as long as he meets his own requirements, he can trade the babies and toddlers sent from wherever they come from. For the Xiaoyao Villa, it is required that the origin of the infant must be clear and clear.

In Li Anran's view, the Japanese and the Turkish people on the island of Taiwan are all aliens, and they don't need to pay attention to any moral and ethical things at all. But Datang is different, no matter how you say it, you can be regarded as a compatriot, and you can't do things that lack morality.

Anyway, I don't lack money at all, and the current vacancy in manpower is not a small amount, so there is no need to break up other people's families in order to buy a few more people. For this purpose, a set of paternity testing equipment was specially provided by the multi-purpose exploration spacecraft.

This kind of equipment is not as troublesome as the modern time and space hospital, only need to take a blood sample on the spot to be able to identify whether the seller is the parents of the infant, once it is found that someone abducts and sells children, there is only one result, kill!

In the past, when he was an ordinary person in modern time and space, Li Anran, who was lonely, hated the most among the occupations that had the business of traffickers. In the past, he was incapable, but now that he has the ability, he will naturally not be soft, and if he does not kill, it is not enough for the people to be angry.

Some people may say, isn't Li Anran inconsistent in thinking this way and slapping himself in the face. Since I hate human traffickers, why do I still want to engage in this industry? In fact, as mentioned earlier, where and under what circumstances this score is.

It is definitely illegal to do this in modern time and space, but in Datang time and space, human trafficking is a legal business. Even the officials of Datang have a special business for selling the relatives of criminal officials who have been implicated in various lawsuits or other circumstances.

The most important thing is that Li Anran also prevented the problems that will inevitably be encountered when purchasing a large number of infants and young children. As long as the parents agree, and they are clearly marked with the price, and the children are not deceived to buy real money from legal channels, the situation is naturally different.

As for why he doesn't pay attention to this for Fusang and Liuqiu, on the one hand, it is because Li Anran never thinks that he is the kind of Gao Daquan who considers problems from the standpoint of all mankind. Just take care of your own compatriots, and everyone else cares about me.

On the other hand, it's because you don't have to think about any theoretical issues at all. Don't forget, Li Anran came as a god in Liuqiu and Fusang, and it was a great honor to be able to send his own children to the divine palace.

Not to mention spending money on school-age infants and toddlers, that is, not giving money, and at the same time making the range of choices larger, except for a very small number of people who do not want to be separated from their families, the vast majority of people will not object, on the contrary, they will respond positively.

The reason why this is not surprising is actually not surprising, after all, Fusang in the Tang Dynasty was still quite poor, not to mention eating well, even the fact that every household can enjoy such a thing as being full. And this kind of situation is not unique to Fuso.

Having a place that can earn a lot of money, make a good life for the family, and at the same time give the children a better living environment, and maybe even bring some additional benefits to the family, is something that few people can refuse.

Otherwise, the slave trade in the Tang Dynasty would not exist as a legitimate business in the open and open, and all countries would still be doing very well. Especially in the case of the previous drought and locust plague in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention selling children and daughters, there are things like changing children and eating.

Compared with the cruel reality of Yi Zi eating it, Li Anran felt that although his behavior was not high, with enough precautions, it was enough to be worthy of his conscience. As for what others think, does it matter? (To be continued......)
