In order to facilitate the management of the Venus colony, Wu Feng took the technically verified Magnetic-class 005 spacecraft to Venus in January of the 6th year of the galaxy.

He was accompanied by 300 interstellar immigrants.

This is the third group of immigrants, and at least 1,200 people will be emigrated to the Venus colony every month from now on.

In the cryogenic cabin of the magnetic-class spacecraft, Wu Feng and the others are in a frozen state, although the current voyage from Earth to Venus is slightly closer than that of Mars.

If it encounters the closest time period for Venus to reach Earth, it will not even take twenty days for a magnetic-class spacecraft to reach Venus from Earth.

In the past, when large-scale supplies were sent to Venus, the closest time period between Venus and the Earth was specially selected, saving 85% of the voyage and fuel.

However, this recent time period can only be encountered once every 580 days or so on average.

57 days later.

Wu Feng and his party were awakened from the cryo-dormant cabin.

He came to the geostationary orbit of Venus.

From the Venus synchronous orbit space station, you can see that there is a "white cloud" with a clear outline in the atmosphere of Venus, which is the Yungong base.

Thanks to the successive commissioning of one mining base, the scale of the Yungong base has been expanded again, reaching 28,000 square kilometers.

A group of interstellar immigrants who had just woken up were also very curious to watch Venus.

On the surface of this orange-red planet, there is a very conspicuous "white cloud".

Wu Feng rested for more than three hours at the Venus synchronous orbit space station, and then took a group of interstellar migrants to the Cloud Palace base by airship.

Inside the Cloud Palace base.

At present, 15 special residential areas have been built in the interior, which are scattered in various areas of the site, and can accommodate a total of 15,000 permanent residents.

After stepping into the Cloud Palace base, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This feeling of being bound to the ground by gravity is just wonderful.

After Wu Feng said goodbye to the interstellar immigrants, he immediately went to the command center of the base.

Deputy Minister Yin Wanovsky, who had been on duty for almost two months, immediately stood up after seeing Wu Feng: "Minister, you are finally here!" ”

"It's hard work, let's take over the work right away!"

"Okay." Yovanovsky is already a little impatient.

The two of them quickly handed over the management of the entire Venus colony, especially the documents during Wu Feng's dormancy, which were even more circled by Yin Wanovsky.

Two hours later, the two completed the handover, and Yowanovsky hurried off the assembly line to prepare for a month's vacation.

Wu Feng carefully looked at the recent work.

Among them, the mining base project that he is most concerned about has been officially put into service with four mining bases, which can produce an average of one million tons of steel per week.

The steel was used in the construction of infrastructure, making the infrastructure of the entire Venus colony more and more perfect.

He saw that there were nearly hundreds of thousands of tons of steel, silicon and carbon materials in the inventory data, so he ordered to increase the scale of the mining base.

By the end of this year, the number of mining bases will be increased to 20.

However, his butt was not yet hot, and Ali, who was in charge of the construction of the Cloud Palace base, hurried over.

"Minister, give me these immigrant employees!"

Wu Feng didn't think about it, so he directly refused: "Ali, don't be whimsical, now all departments need manpower, and I can't give it to you." ”

"But now the second phase of the Cloud Palace base is really short of people." Ali hurriedly complained.

Wu Feng waved his hand unmoved: "No, I will give you 150 people at most, and I need to arrange the rest to the mining industry." ”

"150 people?" Ali struggled for a while, but still agreed to the distribution plan.

However, Wu Feng did not let him leave, but took a document: "What do you think about revising the construction plan of the Cloud Palace Base?" ”

"The plan proposed by Designer Huang?"

Wu Feng nodded: "Yes, what do you think." ”

"I agree with this plan, but this plan is only the first draft, and it will definitely be completely filled in the future."

Wu Feng nodded.

Holographic projection.

Venus is surrounded by a layer of floating islands, but this layer is made up of large regular hexagons, half of which are empty and some of which are floating islands.

Obviously, the new plan is to save some time so that the floating islands can be formed into a whole in advance.

According to the new design, the floating islands will form a regular hexagonal whole, then cover one hemisphere, and then separate the half of the regular hexagonal floating islands in the hemisphere and fill the other half of Venus's atmosphere.

By doing so, you can save some time.

Of course, the gap between the floating islands will be gradually improved in the next phase of the project.

Until the floating islands completely cover the atmosphere of Venus.

In this way, Homo sapiens will get a complete floating island continent.

Ali reminded: "Minister, although this scheme can be realized, the adoption of this scheme has great requirements for the skeleton strength of regular hexagonal floating islands. ”

"I know that technology is not a problem, recently we have found a high-strength ferrosilicon material from the alloy materials of the six-claw civilization, not only the material is simple, but also the production cost is very low, it just happens that Venus has related materials."

The reason why Wu Feng dared to agree to this plan was because he had obtained some of the technology from the Six-Claw Civilization.

It's not that Homo sapiens doesn't go beyond the material of six-claw silicon steel, it's the cost.

Many of the high-strength, high-temperature, and corrosion-resistant materials require the use of rare metals.

And the Cloud Palace project requires too many materials.

To cover the entire Venusian atmosphere, at least hundreds of billions of tons of material are needed, and even if the proportion of alloys as a skeleton is only about one-tenth, it is an astronomical amount.

If these alloys and materials have to add rare metals, even if the rare metals on the surface of Venus are hollowed out, it may not be possible to make up so many materials.

In the process of exploring aliens, many of the alloy materials needed to be doped with rare metals, and the six-clawed civilization, which itself lacks resources, cannot support such a large consumption.

So they took a different approach and developed high-strength alloy materials using silicon and iron, which do not require the addition of rare metals, and silicon and iron, which are relatively high in the earth's crust, can still be mined in tens of billions of tons.

】

Homo sapiens' research on the technical data of the six-claw civilization is gradually deepening.

As a civilization with scarce resources, many of the material applications of the six-claw civilization are biased towards base metals and elements.

Those rare metals and rare elements can only be used by precision instruments and royal families.

This is worth learning from the company.

After all, the resources of the solar system are not endless, and as Homo sapiens expands, the resources that need to be consumed in the future will increase exponentially.

And borrowing materials from the six-claw civilization can be prepared for a rainy day.

The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade.

Now the Cloud Palace project of the Venus Colony has benefited from this.

Wu Feng also discovered this very practical six-claw silicon steel material from the recent secret six-claw civilization decryption file.

The two discussed for more than half an hour before Ali left the office.

Wu Feng went to the affiliated materials research institute in the Yungong base to inspect the technical replication of six-claw silicon steel.
