,nbsp;"Boss, the mining ship has been repaired."

Early in the morning, Zhang Shusheng was woken up by the alarm clock. Zhang Bing's profile picture appeared on the alarm clock's screen, and the electronic voice was also his voice.

"Let's meet in 30 minutes."

Zhang Shusheng got up and quickly took care of his personal hygiene. With advanced technology, there is no shortage of water even if this is the Sahara Desert. Living on the Beidou Star exploration ship is very comfortable. [

30 minutes later, everyone gathered in the departure hall of the spacecraft. They were in a good mood, because they were about to witness the fully automatic mining and refining of the F-class mining ship.

In the sky outside, the sun is rising from the horizon. It is a unique morning in the desert. The temperature is very low, but the scenery is beautiful.

"Welcome boss, welcome everyone to the Sahara mining ship."

Everyone arrived at the mining ship Sahara. The mastermind Sahara already knew that he would be sent to work in a new place. He actually showed some rare humanity and was in a good mood.

As her intelligence improves, she also prefers to take on more interesting challenges.

"Sahara, what happens next is up to you."

Zhang Shusheng smiled and said hello to Sahara in the form of a biological robot. It is indeed very convenient for intelligent life to communicate with people. Even if there is no biological mecha for her to possess, there are countless data ports in the entire mining ship base, just like countless monitors.

Human-computer interaction is possible.

"Yes, boss."

Everyone was led to a high platform, which was also the highest point in the mining base. They looked at the dozens of reinforced rock layers above them, and the ground above them.

Looking down from a high platform that is more than 20 stories high, the entire eighth mining area's ore refining base deployed by F-class Sahara mining ships is very majestic.

This small elevated platform is also equipped with many virtual imaging devices, so that standing here can not only see the overview of the underground base, but also see other details that are difficult to see.

"start up!"

With Sahara's order, the entire huge mining ship base immediately entered production mode.

With the low hum of machines, multi-functional mining vehicles emerged from the pits and were filled with primary ore. They were transported directly to the primary ore processing area.

A large number of automatic equipment and robots work very efficiently. The primary ore passes through the assembly line in the primary ore processing area and is quickly transferred to the next process, the refining area.

Primary ore processing area, refining area, refining area, highly purified, energy block forming...

Among the people present, Zhang Shusheng had the broadest scientific literacy and knowledge. Seeing such ultra-high-efficiency production in the interstellar civilization era, he could still remain calm. Others, including Chen Jun, couldn't help but open their eyes.

A large F-class mining ship with a length of more than 5,000 meters has a main underground base area of ​​nearly ten kilometers in radius after unfolding, as well as many auxiliary areas that have been opened up. A large number of mechanical equipment, robot production equipment, etc. are included with the ship. The owner of the mining ship

The rate under the control of the brain is extremely high.

What you see in front of you are ultra-high-efficiency fully automated energy ore purification production lines, and each virtual video reflects the details of underground mining, processing details, and final rolling forming details.[

Every process has been accurately calculated, and even the finished large, medium and small energy blocks are minimized to waste. Even the final slag with good mineral content can be refined into a low-concentration energy block for the spacecraft's own use. Or

Provide other uses.

Zhang Shusheng silently calculated that it only takes 8 hours from excavation to molding of a standard energy block.

This efficiency is scary.

And if it were done by someone else, this time might take a month. Even for a second-level civilization like the Longshan Empire, under normal circumstances, a piece of energy block would take 2 to 3 days on earth to refine. This is from the third-level civilization.

The great thing about Civilization's F-class mining ship is, of course, that its upgraded mastermind is also extremely efficient.

If the industrialization era started by the steam engine allowed humans to see the power of machines, then what happened here today allowed everyone present to see the huge power of a complete and advanced industrial machinery system in the interstellar era.

Regarding Sahara, Zhang Bing also ensured that after transferring her away from the mining ship, she could be upgraded to an ordinary second-level civilization master brain to serve as the mining ship master brain.

"Boss, these energy blocks processed from tailings are not garbage. They can usually be used as civilian energy in advanced civilizations. For us, they can be used as military energy."

Zhang Bing also appeared on a virtual screen and reported to Zhang Shusheng.

"Very good, let's use these defective energy blocks as military energy."

Zhang Shusheng originally thought that he would use these precious standard energy blocks for the next Star Fleet for ordinary military purposes. Now that he knows that defective products are enough, he is naturally very happy.

"Everyone has seen that this is the power of interstellar civilization. It is far from being comparable to the era of industrial civilization and information civilization. This is a great era dominated by the new energy era. Energy brings new technologies, new machinery, new technologies, and new technologies.

Information means, we need more advanced machinery to build this beautiful planet.

Although the conventional war is over, we still have a long way to go."

Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He planned to immediately implement all the exchange work including the Super Machinery Manufacturing Center after returning. That thing is not something he can produce. If he does not exchange it, the earth will not be able to produce it in another hundred years.

The entire visit was not a reward, and Zhang Shusheng also brought back a copy of the full video for the people in the Propaganda Department. At the appropriate time, these video materials will appear on the screen, allowing the people of the empire to know the power of new technology and feel the power of the empire.

Development and change.

Just before boarding the ship and returning in the afternoon, the first energy block was finally produced. Under Sahara's order, the robot drove directly to deliver the energy block.

"This is the energy block used by most civilizations."

Zhang Shusheng grabbed the square energy block in front of him with both hands. This standard energy block will be stuffed directly into the energy cabin of the engine. For a spacecraft that travels to the stars, the energy cabin must be filled with rows of

The labeled energy blocks are very safe and very simple.

The energy block has a crystal jade color, it is warm and moist when you hold it, and you can feel the faint energy coming from inside.

This highly concentrated standard energy block is one meter square, but weighs more than three tons. It is a veritable concentrated energy block.

"Boss, the interstellar fleets and other interstellar ships we will form in the future will only need to use energy blocks of this purity. According to the processing capabilities of the three-level f mining ship, as long as appropriate upgrades are carried out, we are capable of processing level five

It comes with energy blocks, but now this second-level energy block is completely enough for us to use.

A standard energy block is at least enough for the China battleship to sail fifty light years.

If a new power plant is built and the power transmission problem can be solved, thirty energy blocks can supply power to the entire empire for at least five months.[

Of course, if you want to perform a space jump, you need at least fifty standard energy blocks at a time, which is commonly known as fifty units of energy."

Zhang Bing, a know-it-all, introduced Zhang Shusheng.

A second-level energy block is exactly one energy unit t, and if it is a third-level energy block, one block is equivalent to two energy units, 2t. A first-level energy block is equivalent to about 05t.

The energy contained in the purified energy block is indeed very huge, but correspondingly, when it must be used, it also consumes a huge amount of energy.

Zhang Shusheng's plan is to build some highly safe and advanced nuclear power plants in various places, and to build new energy power plants in economically developed areas, and the energy they use will be these defective energy blocks.

The whole idea is very simple, store high-purity standard energy blocks, and use a large number of defective energy blocks in civilian, military and other fields.

Sooner or later, hydropower stations will have to withdraw from the stage of history. As long as the technology and cost are not excessive, the gradual use of low-cost nuclear power plants combined with higher-cost energy power plants can avoid duplication of investment.

Therefore, the empire will no longer carry out large-scale hydropower development, but local "governments" can carry out appropriate hydropower development. After all, power transformation requires a long process, especially the problem of the transmission network.

…

After returning to Hanking, Zhang Shusheng issued a gag order on the Garlimo family mining fleet. It is not yet time to let the public know about this matter. Without preparation, it will only cause social unrest.

The people of the empire who had just experienced the pain of war, Zhang Shusheng did not want them to fall into the quagmire of war immediately. In his mind, the empire needed to develop steadily for at least ten years.

Sitting in the office, Zhang Shusheng's heart couldn't calm down.

"Such a long list contains all the things that need to be exchanged, ranging from some parts with frightening precision to large weapons and equipment used to solve the crisis of the Gallimore family, as well as cargo spaceships. These are all huge.

points!”

On the second day after returning to Hanking, Zhang Shusheng spent the whole day discussing this hundred-page exchange list with Zhang Bing.

The above are things compiled by the Science and Technology Committee that cannot be solved by current technologies but are urgently needed. Some are equipment, some are technical data, and there are also a lot of things such as biological agents, learning machines, robots, virtual network equipment, etc.

The points are limited, and there are too many things that Zhang Shusheng wants to exchange for. If the points are enough, he even wants to exchange for a fleet immediately, but in fact this is unlikely.

After weighing the left and right, priority should be given to exchanging items that are urgently needed, and items that can be self-produced in a relatively short period of time, as well as items for which substitutes can be found, should be deferred.

It took a whole day to sort out this lengthy list.

That night, he and Zhang Bing went to the underground science and technology center to exchange for the huge items on the list.

In total, it includes more than 800 large and small items, more than 1,700 pieces of technical information, and several valuable items including super machinery manufacturing centers, covering several fields including science, technology, military education, production, medicine, etc.

"Boss, what a generous move..."

When Zhang Bing, a one-meter-tall robot, saw the redemption list handed to him by Zhang Shusheng, he danced with joy and almost did a robot dance.

"There is nothing we can do. We are poor. The entire earth is now in a state of poverty and is full of waste!"

Zhang Shusheng lamented that this was indeed the case. If the previous unification war was to lay the foundation for the current great development, then his enemy now is time, and he has to race against time.

Should a long life be used to travel the universe or to wander around the mountains and rivers? Zhang Shusheng can do neither. He does not need to find that the earth has become a slave farm when he returns from traveling to a corner of the universe one day.

Unlike others, he has not felt tired at all in the past few decades. Instead, he is full of fighting spirit and full of energy. He does not have the fatigue and aging that is common among politicians due to long-term addiction to power and struggle.

Only now did he realize that he was the same as the protagonists in those novels. He had spent his long life doing positive things.

In the past, he did not believe the things written in novels and always thought them all to be absurd. However, it was not until he came to this era that he discovered that some things cannot be completely judged by subjective consciousness.

For example, he had actually seen the fighting elemental power and fighting soul power generated by practicing combat skills in the novel. At that time, from the perspective of earthlings, these were unreachable things, but looking at the universe, the civilizations in the body are more and more powerful.

All.

Although these internal civilizations are not as magical as the stories in fairy tales, it is still easy to escape from the earth.

He even suspected that the magic civilization, cultivation civilization, and fantasy civilization in those novels may also exist in other planes of the universe. However, no one can break it in the face of the absolute power of the plane.
