"Hey, why are you here?"

Adjusting her glasses on the bridge of her nose, Catalina, who was wearing a gray-yellow robe, raised her head with a hint of surprise on her face.

"Thank you for helping me find this place. I don't have to endure the nagging of those old men. It's really peaceful."

"As long as you are satisfied."

Sumo nodded with a smile and glanced at the two people sitting inside.

What surprised him was that these two people turned out to be...

"Lord, you are here!"

"Hello, Lord!"

A total of eight people who had escaped from the academy base took the initiative to work as hard labor.

Sumo didn't know exactly how these people were arranged, so he only asked Chen Shen to make arrangements.

I didn't expect that it would be arranged in this breeding farm now.

"Why are you here?"

"The village chief arranged for us to come here to help the director of the breeding farm, and by the way, to help Researcher Carter."

A hint of understanding appeared on Sumo's face.

Just tell me why this little girl hasn't been talking about it lately. It turns out that it was Chen Shen who sent the hard workers here for free.

I always heard that Su Chan wanted some people to go to the breeding farm to help her expand the scale.

But because the infrastructure in the territory was being rolled out at that time, there was simply no manpower available.

Later, after the wage system was implemented, the farms could no longer produce profits and naturally had no money to hire.

Nowadays, there are these hard workers who are very high-level and can work quickly.

It does not require a salary and only needs to take care of the food, which is a perfect match for the breeding farms that cannot make any money.

"It's okay if you are here. I'm coming over to ask something. Let's call everyone down first."

Instructing one person to find other hard workers who were still resting, Somo pulled up a stool and sat down.

"Do you know about nuclear power plants?"

"Of course I know." Catalina rolled her eyes: "I'm just sleeping in the dormant warehouse. It's not some antique dug out from ancient times. Nuclear power. This is not an energy supply equipment used in every gathering place.

Is this what I use in my bunker?"

"What, the energy supply in your bunker isn't solar?"

Sumo was a little confused.

In the bunker news I received before, the energy item was marked as solar energy.

He wasn't surprised at the time, he just thought it was because of using clean energy to reduce costs.

But now that I think about it, there is indeed something fishy about this.

The foggy weather lasted for a long time. If the bunker had only solar energy, the energy supply would have been cut off long ago.

Where will it be like now, looking completely unaffected?

"Solar energy?" Catalina dragged her chin and thought for a moment: "That should be the fake news they released. How can they use such a backward energy device as solar energy? And solar energy is more expensive than nuclear power. If you want to

To buy a decent solar installation in the Holy City, you have to pay at least five times the price of a nuclear power plant."

Sumo coughed lightly.

"Is it because the purchase of fuel rods is compulsory?"

"Yes."

Just like a bottle of mineral water, the value is not the water in the bottle, but the bottle itself and the transportation cost.

Although nuclear power is a high-end product, due to mature industrial production line manufacturing, the cost has been compressed to the extreme.

If it is sold at a very high price, it is destined to be unable to replace other energy sources to generate benefits.

Therefore, a very low subsidy price is set on the price of nuclear power plants to obtain more users.

At the same time, we provide a price for the consumable fuel rods that most people can accept, and continue to earn profits.

When the cost is shared, it is actually cheaper and more convenient than other energy facilities.

The only disadvantage is probably the constant need for fuel rods.

Once used up, the motor becomes waste.

"Do you need a lot of energy? I don't think your territory is tight. That kind of strange stone can continuously accumulate energy, which is more convenient than a nuclear power plant."

"That one can only be used for daily use. I need a lot of energy to do other things."

"How many are needed?"

"At least several million kilowatt-hours of electricity, and it has to be an endless supply."

After listening to Somo's needs, Catalina nodded thoughtfully.

She was not surprised that there were many projects that required a lot of energy in Blue Star.

Especially the large collider in the academy consumes several times or even more than ten times this number when turned on and used once.

However, the college will definitely not use outdated nuclear power plants to be harvested by the Foundation. Mature large-scale energy towers can provide almost inexhaustible energy.

"I still have four fuel rods there. If you need them urgently, go get them. One of them can provide 500,000 kWh of electricity."

"When the time comes, just use that strange stone to replace the energy in the bunker."

"Four?"

One stick costs 500,000, and four sticks cost 2 million, which is enough to meet the needs of two releases.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

There is certainly no shortage of energy for daily use in the territory now, even if the number of people increases to one hundred thousand, there will be no problem.

This is the unique characteristic of energy stone.

Every day, radiation energy is continuously absorbed and converted to provide quantitative energy.

As long as the daily usage limit does not exceed the maximum value, it is equivalent to unlimited energy.

But at the same time, this characteristic also limits the upper limit of energy stones.

The converted energy cannot be stored in large quantities, nor can the conversion upper limit be increased in a short period of time.

"It's a pity that there is no news about the Holy City yet. If I can go back, even if I give you fifty fuel rods. No, it's okay to give you a hundred fuel rods. Each researcher of that thing has a ration of ten fuel rods a year.

I can’t even use it all.”

Catalina said with some regret.

But at the same time, she also provided a very important message.

Thinking of the purpose of his trip, Sumo quickly asked: "Will nuclear power be used in the institute's research institute?"

"Yes, but not every large shelter will build an independent energy tower, which can greatly reduce the cost of energy use. Only some small and medium-sized shelters will use nuclear power plants to replace their energy supply for the sake of convenience.

."

"Where is the Kyushu Great Rift Valley base?"

The eight peons nearby have gathered and are listening to the conversation here with their ears pricked up.

It's a pity that Somo and Katarina communicated in Blue Star language. For the hard workers, they could only understand a few fragments of words and could not organize effective information at all.

Now when they suddenly heard a familiar Chinese language, everyone suddenly became energetic.

"When you were at the academy base, did you see their energy devices?"

"I think I've seen energy devices before."

A person standing at the back of the team said hesitantly.

"It seems to be several square boxes the size of vans, placed on the third underground floor of the base."

Square box.

It seems that the nuclear power plant is indeed gone.

"If nuclear power is used, how many fuel rods will there be in the college's base?"

"About five hundred, maybe more. It depends on the specific research direction of the Great Rift Valley base. Only research institutes with extremely high energy needs will store a large number of fuel rods!"

Five hundred!

Good guy, based on the calculation of a 500,000-kilowatt-hour wire, it is a total of 250 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Even if you use drop, you can use it two hundred and fifty times!

This must be clarified.

No, this base must be destroyed in some way.
Chapter completed!
