VI. The Great Project (2)

Qiushui glanced at Han Wenzheng and said, "Of course, you have to pay, and the ingredients consumed have to be deducted from the warehouse? Otherwise, where does the food come from? The more expensive the ingredients, the more food is consumed, and of course, the more expensive the price, this is a normal supply and demand relationship, but this money is not ordinary money, but coins produced from the mint." "The Mint?" Why is there another building?

Qiushui said: "Yes, it's just that the mint is a building that can only be built after the third level, and of course we can't use it now." "What does that mint use to produce money, and what raw materials do you need?" "Energy, use energy to turn into heaven and earth aura, and then condense into jade, you can produce jade money." "What about the value of the currency?" "There are eight kinds, one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred, and one thousand. "How much energy do they consume?" "One crystal of energy can produce 10,000 yuan of jade, you can choose to produce ten thousand yuan of jade, or you can choose to produce 10,000 yuan of jade, there is no difference between this one. "It's so expensive, isn't the purchasing power of jade money very high?" "It's quite high, if according to the price on the earth, one crystal of energy is equal to 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, and the value is 20 million yuan, and then 50% of the cost is deducted, and the price of jade must be added, so that one yuan of jade is about 2,000 yuan." ”

Han Wenzheng smiled bitterly, this is too high, it seems that even if there is jade money in the future, other coins will be needed, at least a banknote printing factory will be needed, he asked: "Can the mint produce paper money?" "Of course not, but it can produce metal coins, such as gold coins, silver coins and copper coins." "The cost is also very high. "I'm used to seeing the blackness of the system, and thinking about the production money here will only be darker.

Sure enough, Qiushui said: "Yes, my husband is so smart, each gold coin weighs 20 grams, and one ton of gold can produce 20,000 gold coins." "Black, darker than the bottom of the pot, I'm afraid that there is nothing darker in the whole universe, Han Wenzheng has nothing to say about this system, according to the price of the earth, a gram of gold is worth 150 yuan (the price of 2152), 20 grams of gold is 3000 yuan, and a gold coin can be exchanged for 1.5 jade coins, so there is no need to think about gold coins, but, if you think about it carefully, energy and gold, who is more expensive? In the later stage, gold can definitely be used to pave the way, but, in the early stage, it is definitely much more expensive than gold, it seems that it is still necessary to produce some gold coins, and there will be opportunities to trade with people from other planets in the future.

Han Wenzheng fell his head, stopped thinking about it, and asked instead: "Shui'er, we only lack energy, do you have any good solutions?" "No, let's use your method to transport coal." "A kilogram of coal only has five kilowatt-hours of electricity, and I only have the energy of 5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to transport 1,000 tons of coal once, and to produce a clansman, it takes at least 200 times, each time it takes three days, and 200 times takes 600 days, and it takes almost two years to make a clansman, which is too slow." Besides, it takes 200,000 tons of coal to produce one clansman, and I don't know how much coal there is in that coal mine, but I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for long, and we have to find another way. "This is a fact, after all, the resources of nature are limited, the city is an energy-swallowing monster, no amount of energy can feed it, and it is absolutely impossible to have a stable source of energy.

Qiushui also has no better way, energy is the key to the development of the base, without energy can do nothing, in fact, if only the production of ordinary level clansmen does not need much energy, however, it is impossible, Qiushui thought for a long time before saying: "I have thought of a way, but I don't know if the road is feasible." "What's the solution?" "Water. Qiushui only said one word.

Qiushui saw that Han Wenzheng was a little puzzled, so he drew a map on the ground and said: "Husband, come and see, we can see that the drop between the Nianxiang River and our Yanhuang City from here has reached 150 meters, and the drop between it and our energy pool has also reached more than 130 meters, as long as we can attract river water from here and rush into the energy pool, we will be able to have a steady stream of energy." ”

Han Wenzheng smiled bitterly and said: "I have also thought about your method, if the speed of the water flow can reach 10 cubic meters per second, and the drop is 100 meters, we should get 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, even if the system is black, there is still 50,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity after deducting half, which is not a small amount." It's just that, my good wife, it's 150 kilometers from here to our Yanhuang City, it's 150 kilometers, and if we want to build a 150-kilometer-long aqueduct, do you think we can do it with just the two of us? This plan is just a talk on paper. ”

Qiushui said: "There is no need to worry about this problem in terms of water diversion, as long as I dig through this small hill, as long as it is the problem of the aqueduct, I have calculated, except for the 40 kilometers of part that can be dug on the side of the mountain, the workload is not large, the length of our construction is 110 kilometers, this workload is indeed very large." But it's not all out of the question. ”

Han Wenzheng shook his head and said: "Even if the length is only 110 kilometers, even if a pillar is built at an interval of 20 meters, it will take 5,500 pillars, and the bottom surface of each pillar is 20 meters long and 4 meters wide, which is trapezoidal and more than 100 meters high." Shui'er, think about it, is this what we can do at the moment?"

It's terrible to think about, is it easy to build a pillar that is more than 100 meters high? Without modern machinery, relying only on the two of them, I really don't know when the road will be built.

Qiushui said: "Husband, you are wrong, building a column is indeed a very difficult job, but we don't have to repair the column. "If you don't build a pillar, do you want to build a dam?" Han Wenzheng thought of what Qiushui meant.

Qiushui nodded and said: "Yes, husband, we are going to build a dam, that is, to build a dam that is 110 kilometers long, 100 meters wide at the bottom, 15 meters wide at the top, and 150 meters high. ”

Han Wenzheng gasped and said: "My good wife, you have a slight chin, 1.325 billion cubic meters, such a huge amount of work, even in the age of the earth, it is enough to choke, now, we have nothing, and there are only you and me, do you think we can complete it?"

Qiushui said: "Of course, if it were only you and me, it would be absolutely impossible, but we still have people." "Yes, although the ability of the machine you make is not very good, but the work of digging, picking up the soil, and then sending the soil to the dam can be done, I calculated that a machine person can complete 5 cubic meters of earth cube works in one day and one night, if we can have tens of thousands of people, then the amount of work completed every day will be 100,000 cubic meters, so that we can complete it in about 30 years." ”

Han Wenzheng smiled bitterly and said: "Shui'er, not to mention how much work a person can do in a day and a night, if we have tens of thousands of people, of course it is good, but we only have a few hundred people in our hands, and I can only make one person at most every day, so I can't make tens of thousands of people in a hundred years, aren't you kidding?"

Qiushui nodded and said: "This is indeed a problem, but, husband, when sharpening the knife and cutting firewood, if we can have 100,000 people, in terms of energy in the future, there is no need to worry, at least, there is no big problem in terms of manpower, besides, I can also help, so, at most, we can create tens of thousands of people in fifty years, I personally think that even if we can build such a dam in fifty years, it is worth it." ”

Han Wenzheng had a headache, he waved his hand and said, "Wait, Shui'er, don't say any more, you let me think about it, this matter is too big, I have to think about it." Qiushui still wants to say something, but, after thinking about it, forget it, in the face of such a big project that frightens people to death, it will take at least decades to complete the project, even with Han Wenzheng's ability, it will take a certain amount of time to think clearly, and calculate the benefits of it, this is not a matter of one or two days, but a matter of decades, it is definitely not a joke.

Build, get a very stable source of energy, in the face of the huge demand for energy gap, there is a stable source of energy is undoubtedly the best solution, and water energy will never be exhausted, will not be like logging and coal transportation will make a burden on nature, with this dam in the future can be once and for all, it can be said that the construction must be built, but the build, not want to build, but such a huge amount of work, not by him Han Wenzheng does not hesitate, to know that the total amount of the Three Gorges Project, the largest project of the year, is only 162.75 million cubic meters, but the amount of this project is as high as 1.325 billion cubic metersIt was more than eight times the size of the Three Gorges, which took more than 15 years to complete, and still mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources, and had the full support of the whole country.

Difficulties must be faced, at this stage, subject to the actual conditions, he does not have any large machinery, is it really possible? Coal and wood, there will always be a day when they run out, in the long run, only wind energy, solar energy, Water energy and other energy sources are inexhaustible, inexhaustible, and the longest, but now it will take countless years to just upgrade to the first level, and even, he doesn't know if the resources in his hands can support the first level, and furthermore, the base is developed to space, and I don't know how many years it will take for the base to develop into space, it is certain that the Yanhuang clan will live here for a long time in the future, if he completely destroys this place today, then, isn't it him and his descendants who suffer? He can't just fish and exhaust all his resources. It's really hard to be left, it's hard to be right, it's really hard for his brain.
