The theory expressed by Ai Jianfeng is not difficult to understand.

When electricity was first developed on the earth, it had various limitations.

At that time, all scientists tried to find a material that could accommodate and transmit energy to perfectly solve the problem of human energy deficiency.

It's a pity that centuries have passed.

The scientists who asked the questions changed one after another, and the development speed of materials science also accelerated to an unknown extent. Humanity has stepped out of the earth and explored other planets.

This problem is still unresolved and has even evolved to a worse situation!

Yes, even in the 21st century, before time travel, energy is still a problem facing everyone.

At that time, within the scope of China, it was okay. Relying on previous accumulation, it was still able to maintain stable prices. Even if power shortages occurred, they could be solved quickly.

But if we look beyond China and look at other regions, we can clearly see through prices how serious this energy shortage is!

Even if we don’t take into account the energy problems of most people, and only consider the positive gains that energy brings to the technology tree, its breakthrough importance still ranks among the top in the major categories!

If aerospace science solves the energy problem, mankind can take a complete step forward and enter the age of interstellar navigation.

Weapons science, with sufficient energy, nuclear weapons will become a thing of the past, and weapons that use propulsion or speed itself as a means will be more popular.

In medicine, human beings can directly connect their energy supply parts to the outside, and transmit energy through substances outside the body, so they no longer need to suffer from pain.

biology.

One-stop service, as long as major breakthroughs can be made in the energy direction, the shackles of other technological limits will also be easily lifted.

Of course, at this stage, these things are still a good vision for the territory.

For example.

"Ah? Uncle Ai, do we need ten tons of hot stones to restore the power in our territory?"

"Ten tons is a lot. According to our current situation, it's six yuan a day, which is 800 grams. Let me think about it."

"How long will it take to get enough?"

After understanding the importance of the hot stone mine, Su Chan tilted her head and thought about it, then raised an urgent question.

Hot rocks are not like iron ore, small mines can have three to five million tons, and large mines can even have tens of millions of tons.

As far as the entire depression is concerned, the total of hot stones evenly distributed on the ground is only fifty tons.

Coupled with the unresolved mining problem, Ai Jianfeng scratched his head and looked embarrassed when looking at Su Chan's serious expression.

"Well, if you have a direction, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

"When Uncle Ai first embarked on the path of scientific research, he was also faced with many difficulties. My mentor once told me."

Seeing Ai Jianfeng drop the topic and start "telling stories" like a student again, Lu Kuan, who was waiting to watch the excitement, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This time, Ai Jianfeng stopped talking and the two began to bicker.

Compared with dozens of days ago, Lu Kuan's personality has completely changed now that he has regained his human body.

A touch of gloom dissipated from his body, replaced by full cheerfulness and confidence in tomorrow.

Looking at these two scientific research experts who were over fifty but still had the mentality of children, Sumo raised his head and felt a little brighter in his heart.

"The level of the hot stone mine is indeed not high right now, and I have a way to improve it, but it just takes some time."

"Of course, we should mine or mine, just control the quantity. I hope that we can break through the energy constraints in the shortest possible time, at least in terms of people's livelihood."

"Otherwise, if we are limited by energy and rely solely on manpower for development, the progress will be too slow!"

A definite conclusion is given.

moment.

The two stopped, turned their heads at the same time, and acted differently.

Holding his fist, Lu Kuan waved violently: "I knew that something like this that I have never seen before can really be upgraded. The current unit capacity and absorption capacity are too small. As long as we can double it, no, increase it by 50

%, the changes brought about are unimaginable!”

"I will take care of it then. In half a month, regardless of the distance, there will be no problem in restoring power to the village!"

Ai Jianfeng was thoughtful: "In terms of people's livelihood? Sumo, is it possible that our territory has to absorb more people?"

Sumo nodded: "Yes, I have received clear information about a human gathering place. There are about 30,000 people. Once winter passes, we can try to explore it. At the very least, we must bring our citizens

It would be better to expand the number to 3,000 or 5,000 people!"

"When there are more people, not only eating, drinking and urinating will be a big problem, but also satisfying their work positions will be very important. I have already made preliminary plans."

When I was a lone wolf, every time I returned to the shelter, it was a time to count the harvest and take a good rest.

But now, as soon as I returned to the territory, my butt was still hot, and a lot of things happened, leaving no time to rest.

Being used to this kind of busyness, Sumo actually enjoyed it.

Immediately, the three of them put their horses aside and discussed in various directions until news came from the village that dinner was about to begin, and then they stopped.

"Come over and talk while eating?"

The two stood up and nodded happily: "Yes, I have to eat. I have returned to my human form. I will be starving if I don't eat for one meal!"

"Come on, Xiaochan, let's have dinner together!"

The gloomy snowy days have passed, and the bright sunny days can always bring people an indescribable good mood.

After closing the door of the shelter, we stepped on the thin snow and continued chatting.

Soon, a group of four people arrived at the newly built large canteen behind the village.

"Come on, director, here!"

The simple canteen built of wood is not large, but it can accommodate seventy tables, which can meet the dining requirements of eight hundred people at a time.

Following Chen Shen's excited wave, Su Mo turned his head and looked around. He couldn't hold back the affection that burst out from his heart, and laughed.

When playing a construction simulation game, the strength of the territory, the living conditions of the territorial residents, and some subtle changes can only be reflected in cold numbers, which cannot bring much impact.

Even when the numbers accumulate to a certain level, there is no basic demand, and the gameplay is restricted, it will feel boring.

But in reality, this feeling is completely different.

The brand-new wooden tables and chairs in the canteen are rough, but compared to before when most people could only squat down to eat, it's more than a little better!

The colorful porcelain bowls and pots baked on the table don't look very good, but they reveal everyone's pursuit of a better life.

No one could have imagined that this place was a deserted place half a month ago, but now it has a decent appearance, even no worse than some poor villages on the earth!

Of course, everything here is even more shocking to Marshal Wang, who is surrounded by everyone!

Seeing Somo nodding along with the villagers and walking with a friendly smile.

Although he was completely mentally prepared, at this moment, he still stood up involuntarily, with a hint of embarrassment on his expression.

"Okay, sit down and eat along!"

"You have traveled to so many places, you are really lucky, but since you can survive, you should cherish your life and use more brains in everything."

We have a preliminary understanding of why Marshal Wang betrayed the information about the human gathering place.

Sumo's previous prejudice was gone.

Unlike these villagers in the depression, Marshal Wang is just a microcosm of most ordinary people in the outside world in this apocalyptic world.

He was guilty, but his thoughts did not lead to a big mistake, and his sin would not lead to death.

And as long as the current situation does not get worse, as long as he can take on the responsibility of leading the way, he can save the struggling refugees in the gathering place from the fire.

So to these people, he is a good person, a good person who saved their lives.

"Okay, just sit down. You said you are a weird person. You have to squat there to feel comfortable!"

Seeing Marshal Wang finally sit down in embarrassment, Chen Shen on the side waved helplessly, gesturing to the villagers behind to serve the food.

As soon as he turned around, dozens of people walked out skillfully and began to put the prepared dishes on the table.

Stir-fried cabbage, cold garlic sprouts, mixed vegetable pancakes, and a bowl of beef pimple soup per person.

Make bricks without straw.

Nowadays, the fresh food resources in the depression have basically been exhausted, but thinking of Soma's return, the chefs still cooked a meal as much as they could.

Two dishes and one soup, if there is meat, it can be considered a "hearty" meal!

"How many fresh vegetables do we have left?"

Somo grabbed a mixed vegetable pancake and asked casually while chewing it.

From the perspective of satiety and nutrition, the value of mixed vegetable pancakes is much higher than that of steamed buns. No matter how big your appetite is, eating two can make you 70% full.

But in terms of taste, the mixed vegetable pancake tastes a bit chewy because the vegetable roots inside are not completely crushed.

In addition, although some mixed vegetables are non-toxic, they have a bit of a strange taste. Mix them together and you can have a different experience with every bite.

"There are about two tons left, which can definitely last until the end of this winter!"

"Besides, our newly reclaimed land has already been planted with the cold-resistant seeds that you gave us before, Director. There is no need to worry about vegetables."
