Chapter 358 Next stop, Riley Star
After the meeting, Zhang Yuan specially called Ye Kaifu, chief mineral engineer of the Ministry of Industry, and made him a cup of tea with a smile.
"The scientific research results in the past two years are still very good. If we continue to stay in Glitzer 581, how could we achieve such achievements? Alas, war is indeed a good channel for progress. We have even plundered a small part of the achievements of the third-level civilization, and have achieved such a good development, saving us a lot of time."
Ye Kaifu took a sip of water without hesitation: "You still want to rob a more powerful civilization? You, the captain, are you impatient, right?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't think that high-level civilizations are stronger than us. For example, this Badit civilization, if it consumes its own race's potential for more than a few million, but has not established a better system for a long time, it is likely to regress or even collapse itself..."
"This kind of civilization is impossible to be without in the universe."
"Recession is a common thing in the universe, just like the history of Earth civilization. When the sun does not set, the empire will decline, and then the rise of the country will follow up..."
After chatting some gossip, Zhang Yuan changed the subject and talked about the main thing: "By the way, the rhodium and platinum elements should be mined more, so that they can be used in the future... It requires a large number of users to create a super magnetic a generator instrument."
"We must also hurry up and replenish nuclear fuel. Our spacecraft should be able to carry finished raw materials. With enough raw materials, at least we can feel at ease. Are there any problems with the entire smelting project? Do we need more personnel?"
Here comes!
This guy really has to ask these questions!
Ye Kaifu's old face suddenly wrinkled like a piece of paper crumpled into a ball, and the feeling of being on the verge of sudden death appeared again.
"The one who owes debt is the uncle! I'm afraid he is a bird!"
Thinking of this, Ye Kaifu crossed his legs and said in a daze: "There is too much time to work overtime. I visited the hospital a few days ago and said that he was old and had some problems with heart pacing... Lao Zhang, look, can I take a leave to rest for so many days?"
"Oh..." Zhang Yuan said nothing: "Then you are allowed to change to a bionic heart. After the operation is completed, you can rest for a half-day... just a small operation."
"It's only been a long time..."
Ye Kaifu said again: "My wife's teeth hurt a little, and I want to accompany her to the hospital. It has been delayed for a long time, and my whole face will become swollen if it is delayed."
"Oh, I'll approve your half-day vacation."
"Li Zhendong has had hemorrhoids these days, so I want to accompany him to the hospital for surgery."
Zhang Yuan looked up at the ceiling: "Approve your half-day vacation."
"Col. I feel a little shoulder pain these days. I want to accompany him to the hospital..."
"Then, approve your half-day vacation."
What's the two-day holiday in total...
Ye Kaifu was so happy.
Wait a moment!
He saw Zhang Yuan's malicious smile and felt aroused.
Sure enough, Zhang Yuan said expressionlessly: "I just recorded the audio. I will send this message to your wife, Li Zhendong and Guo Qiang's mobile phones. Especially Li Zhendong, did he have hemorrhoids? After the surgery, he had to lie on the bed for several days..."
Damn, this guy is still so black-hearted!
Ye Kaifu quickly jumped up from the stool and smiled with a flattering look on his face, "Did you delete it, delete it quickly! Just a joke... How can you do it? Don't you just want to rest for a while?"
Zhang Yuan sighed, "I'm lying to you, who can record here all day long?"
"However, although your mineral mining and smelting team has a heavy task, it is not a problem to take a few days off occasionally. Why do you come to me for instructions? You can have a normal holiday on holidays."
"Isn't this too many tasks, are you afraid of delaying things?" Ye Kaifu returned to his seriousness.
Zhang Yuan recalled that Lao Ye had been nagging in front of him that he had to take a holiday many times, but he had never had a holiday once, so he was the hardest department.
He sighed slightly: "I just discussed the meeting. The technology of the Haiyan-iv-type spacecraft is not in place, so the relevant machines do not need to be manufactured in large quantities. The demand for mineral resources is also much less, so you can take a few days off, which is not a problem. We will stay here for two more years, which is enough for you to dig a lot of minerals."
"Really?" Ye Kaifu took a sip of water, and his fingers couldn't help but gesture.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly realized that his excitement seemed a bit out of place, and he couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
The lack of technology in the Haiyan-iv spacecraft is not considered good news...
Zhang Yuan didn't care about the other person's expression, but just thought about something silently.
Looking down from this place to the planet, humans' development of this planet is only a small part, not even one ten thousand.
This planet is really too active. Since it was formed only 300 million years ago, the planet rotates rapidly, reducing the difficulty of laying space elevators.
However, because the planet is too young, there is still a small amount of atmosphere on the surface that has not escaped. Various geological disasters occur frequently, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and other messy accidents, and there are a large number of harmful gases in the atmosphere...
Fortunately, humans are no longer the human beings they used to be. Some important factories are carried on transport spacecraft. If they are transported to an emergency situation, they can take off and evacuate urgently.
Although the entire industry is not very smooth, it is not impossible to develop.
The accumulation of experience is still a very important step. If there is any emergency in the future, it is necessary to forcefully exploit such planets to supplement resources. At that time, it will definitely not be worth the effort to temporarily explore relevant experience.
"You know, what is the most urgent thing we are now?"
"What?" Ye Kaifu asked in confusion.
"Shield!" Zhang Yuanluo said excitedly: "The third-level civilization can theoretically have shield technology. The electromagnetic shield that can be barely realized at present is still too weak. We need a real ion shield! With an ion shield, when encountering a more low-level civilization, it is just a beating and you don't have to be afraid of anything anymore."
In the interstellar war, the fastest weapon is the laser, followed by the ion cannon.
Ion shields can defend mainly laser weapons, and can also weaken some of the power of ion cannons.
These two weapons are high-speed weapons that are difficult to intercept. If they can be offset by ion shields, they will undoubtedly be invincible in the war of low-level civilizations.
Of course, the ion shield is not invincible either.
The electromagnetic gun can break the defense, but the speed of the electromagnetic gun is generally not too fast, at least it is impossible to reach a level close to the speed of light.
There is also antimatter weapons, which are in the category of higher-level interstellar wars.
"Didn't we say that the next place to settle is a low-level civilization?" Ye Kaifu said: "We are not afraid of low-level civilizations."
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Yes, what is the one that has been discovered by the Badit civilization?... Riley civilization, a primitive civilization that has not yet developed technology. Unfortunately, the Badit civilization is not interested in it and has not conducted in-depth investigations."
"But that's a thousand years ago. Who knows what will happen in a thousand years?"
"I bet that nothing will happen in a thousand years. Primitive civilization or primitive civilization."
"Betting?" Zhang Yuan shook his head quickly: "Forget it, I don't think anything will happen... It should be a very interesting trip."
Chapter completed!
