B11 District
Chapter 237:B11 District
A small head, that’s true.
With the development of fast-breeding reactors in recent years, not only a small amount of uranium-235, but more uranium-238 has also begun to be used.So far, people’s energy is not lacking.
However, people have no worries, with the establishment of a large number of industrial systems, the future of electricity consumption will inevitably increase geometrically.In particular, the manufacture of a large number of high-tech materials requires a large amount of electricity... According to this statement, the development of new energy must be on the agenda.
Yu Yifeng asked, “What kind of energy do you think is more suitable for development?”
William thought about it and said directly: "I think of two options, the first is to develop geothermal energy, the use of large-scale geothermal energy to generate electricity.Second, develop solid methane in the Arctic, that is, fossil energy!”
“There does not appear to be active volcanoes in the north and south of the North and South Poles of the Knicks, with weak geological activity, where the average temperature is minus 200 degrees Celsius, and the storage of organic minerals such as combustible ice is the ideal energy source...”
"Of course, this planet is rich in living materials, and there is also the possibility of forming oil.But we haven’t found it yet...”
According to William, the engineer, he was more inclined to develop combustible ice in the Arctic, or to find some reliable oil reserves.
Geothermal energy is too troublesome, to all kinds of detection, ground, the final power generation is often limited.
And thermal power generation is different... it is the most widely used power generation model on the earth!
Methane, that is, natural gas, represents gas-fired power generation is one of the most stable ways of power supply, excellent hot and cold power triple power generation system, can increase the efficiency of gas-fired power generation to more than 95%!
The Arctic has a large number of combustible ice, and the number is not counted, and if it can be all mined, it is enough for the current human use for tens of thousands of years.
Yu Yi Feng thought about it carefully and quickly nodded his head in agreement.
The Arctic is about 3,000 kilometers away from here, and the distance is not too big.In any case, people use empty boats for automatic transportation, and they do not need manpower at all.Even if the distance is longer, as long as you build a few more!
With the huge resources of a huge planet to support 60,000 people, human beings are like a large and wasteful dog, completely without the previous sense of conservation.
So, even without uranium ore, people have methane, and there is plenty of oxygen in the atmosphere.The burning of fossil fuels is still the cheapest source of energy.
"I'll arrange this plan as soon as I get back."Yi Feng agreed: "The mining of combustible ice will raise a priority, and Noah is also needing more organic materials..."
As the two spoke, the high-speed train stopped again and came to the last stop.
The Mysterious B11 Zone!
"This is the b11 area, which contains a large number of minerals such as copper, water, iron ore, sulfur and volcanic rocks.There are 30,000 automatic excavators working here."William explained.
Yu Yifeng stepped down from the car and witnessed a large number of transporters moving back and forth, but for three minutes, the train they came to was full of minerals.
Then, the train roared away and transported the minerals back to the central smelting center...
This gave him a sense of the rough beauty of the steam era in the 19th century, but today's human technology has increased countless times.
The train is no longer the former steam train, but a more powerful high-speed train of magnetic levitation, and smelting is not the previous smelting method.
Humans use steel and fire to fight the endless darkness of the Knicks star!
He believes that this star fire will eventually be able to shine a light on the whole planet.
"At present, the amount of copper ore excavated is 67,000 tons per day, which is not fast.But we don't even have one percent of the excavators we've shipped down... The process will be much faster."William shook his head.
He watched every day, feeling nothing more, and even adapted to this eternally dark planet.
He is satisfied with the current progress of the project, but only a little satisfied.
The last time they visited the B11 district, about 173 kilometers from the central area, it is close to the extinct crater and is also the most rich area found.
Most importantly... there is an insoluble cave in the area!
An underground cave full of geothermal heat and life!
It is also this cave that has created an inexplicable strange feeling for Yifeng.
He insisted on the inspection of the No. Noah also has this reason.But what happened, he couldn’t say.
Because of the large number of mineral resources and biological resources in the B11 region, this small base has more than 100 people, mostly biologists, geographers, and a small number of soldiers.
Standing at the base gate was Captain Zhao Yao, who was on a vigilante mission.When he saw Yu Yi Feng, his black face was staggered, his mouth was grinning, and he saluted seriously.
Yu Yifeng also returned a gift, and the two did not say anything.
He stood at the base gate and looked closely at it, which was an A003-type base ship.The perimeter of the base is filled with hill-like minerals, waiting for the train to transport.
You can hear the roar of excavators and drilling rigs everywhere, and this area is really lively!
Many scientists have heard that Yi Feng has arrived and has been greeted at the door in advance, and others have hurriedly put down the work at hand and walked out of the door.
On the one hand, in order to welcome, on the other hand, there is indeed a lot to report.
“Captain, when will the exploration of the large caves begin?”A biologist was also direct, and he spoke directly at the first moment when he saw Yi Feng.
"Mr. Yu, we have found 113 species of fungi and plant life, and the monitoring equipment has also found some insects!"Unfortunately, no specimens were captured...if the caves were below, there could have been more discoveries!”
"Mr. Yu, I have an important geological report on my side!"
A large group of scientists hurried around Yi Feng, who did not have so many rules as soldiers to say anything.This is also the usual atmosphere in Noah's, which is used to be given by Yifeng.
He waved his hand and was quiet around him.
He looked at the report and said seriously: "Everyone should also know the priority of the work, the meal should be a mouthful, step by step."Our present hands are not divided.”
“Our primary biological goal is to adapt the human immune system to the planet’s microbial environment without getting sick.The primary engineering objective is to build a sufficiently strong industrial system to prepare for the future of large-scale scientific research projects in the future.”
"Before these two tasks are completed, we can't divide our hands and do other things.The terrain of this cave is complex, the specific situation is not clear, and the robot has explored three kilometers inside and still has not reached the end.Obviously, it’s a big project.”
Seeing the scientists want to stop, Yi Feng said: "After all the priorities are done, I promise to send soldiers to explore it... but not now!"
His words are very reasonable.
Scientists are reasonable people, they are eager to explore this cave, at most just hunting psychology.
In fact, they have no time at all, just a large number of strangely constructed alien microorganisms, enough for them to eat a pot!
Before the study of immunization vaccines, where are the other?
