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 achievements in the past two years are still very good. If we continue to stay in Gliese 581, how can we achieve such achievements? Alas, war is indeed a good channel for progress. We have even plundered only a small part of the achievements of the three-level civilization, and we have achieved such good development, which has saved us a lot of time. "
Ye Kaifu drank impolitely: "do you still want to rob a stronger civilization? You are impatient to be captain, aren't you? "
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "don't think that the advanced civilization is more powerful than us. For example, if the badit civilization consumes its own ethnic potential for millions, but fails to establish a better system for a long time, it is likely to regress or even collapse..."
"Such a backward civilization cannot exist in the universe."
"Recession is a common thing in the universe. For example, in the history of earth civilization, when the sun does not set and the Empire declines, there will be the rise of subsequent countries..."
After chatting some gossip, Zhang Yuan turned the conversation and talked about business: "by the way, rhodium and platinum still need to be mined more, which can be used in the future... To make a super magnetic a generator, a large number of users need two elements."
"We should also pay close attention to the replenishment of nuclear fuel. Our spacecraft had better be able to carry finished raw materials. If we have enough raw materials, we should at least be confident in our hearts. Is there any problem with the whole smelting project? Do you want more people? "
coming!
This guy really wants to ask these questions!
Ye Kaifu's old face wrinkled like a piece of paper crumpled into a ball, and the feeling of imminent sudden death appeared again.
"The man in debt is uncle! I'm afraid he's a bird! "
Thinking of this, ye Kaifu crossed his legs and said carelessly, "there's too much overtime. I went to the hospital a few days ago and said that I was old and had a problem with cardiac pacing... Lao Zhang, look, can I take a leave of absence for a few days? "
"Oh..." Zhang Yuan said as if nothing had happened: "then you are approved to change a bionic heart. After the operation, you can rest for half a day... Just a small operation."
"It's only been a long time..."
Ye Kaifu added, "my wife's teeth hurt a little. I want to go to the hospital with her. It's been a long time. If you delay, the whole face will swell up. "
"Oh, give you another half day's holiday."
"Li Zhendong has hemorrhoids these days. I want to accompany him to the hospital for surgery."
Zhang Yuan looked up at the ceiling and said, "I'll approve your half day holiday."
"Colonel Guo, I seem to have a little shoulder pain these days. I want to accompany him to the hospital..."
"Then, I'll approve your half day holiday."
Add up to two days of vacation
Ye Kaifu is very happy.
wait a minute!
He saw Zhang Yuan's malicious smile and was inspired.
Sure enough, Zhang Yuan said expressionless, "I just recorded, and I will send this message to your wife, Li Zhendong and Guo Qiang's mobile phones. Especially Li Zhendong, did he get hemorrhoids? After the operation, he had to lie on the bed for several days... "
Shit, this guy is still so black!
Ye Kaifu jumped up from the stool and smiled pleasantly, "delete it, delete it quickly! Just kidding... How can I? I just want to have a rest. "
Zhang Yuan sighed, "I lied to you. Who has time to record here all day?"
"However, although your mineral mining and smelting team has a heavy task, it's not a problem to take a few days off occasionally. Why do you come to me for instructions? Holidays can be a normal holiday. "
"This is not too many tasks, afraid of delaying things?" Ye Kaifu regained his solemnity.
Zhang Yuan recalled that Lao ye had been nagging for a holiday for many times in front of him. As a result, he didn't have a holiday once. He can be regarded as the hardest department.
He sighed slightly: "as discussed in the meeting just now, the technology of petrel IV 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 have a few days off. We will stay here for two years, enough for you to dig a lot of minerals. "
"Really?" Ye Kaifu took a sip of water, and his fingers couldn't help gesturing.
Then he suddenly realized that his excitement seemed a little untimely and couldn't help laughing awkwardly.
The technology of haiyan-iv spacecraft is not in place. It's not good news
Zhang Yuan didn't care about each other's expression, but thought silently about something.
Looking down from this place to the planet, human development of this planet is only a small part, not even one in ten thousand.
This planet is really too active. Because it was formed only 300 million years ago, the planet rotates rapidly, reducing many difficulties in the laying of space elevators.
But 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 are numerous, and there are a lot of harmful gases in the atmosphere..
Fortunately, human beings are not the original human beings. Some important factories are carried on transport spacecraft. If it is transported to an emergency, it can take off and evacuate urgently.
Although the progress of the whole industry is not too smooth, it is not that it can not be developed.
The accumulation of experience is still a very important step. In case of any emergency in the future, it is necessary to forcibly exploit this planet to supplement resources. At that time, it is certainly not worth the loss to temporarily explore relevant experience.
"Do you know what we need most now?"
"What?" Ye Kaifu wondered.
"Shield!" Zhang yuanlue said excitedly, "in theory, three-level civilization can have shield technology. At present, the electromagnetic shield that can barely be realized is still too weak. We need a real ion shield! With the ion shield, when you encounter a lower civilization, you just hang and hit. You don't have to be afraid of anything anymore. "
In interstellar war, the fastest weapon is laser, followed by ion cannon.
Ion shield can defend mainly laser weapons, and can also weaken part of the power of ion gun.
These two weapons are high-speed weapons that are difficult to intercept. If they can be offset by ion shields, there is no doubt that they will be invincible in the war of low-level civilizations.
Of course, ion shields are not invincible.
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 the level close to the speed of light.
There is antimatter weapons, which is the category of higher-order interstellar war.
"Doesn't it mean that the next foothold is a low-level civilization?" Ye Kaifu said, "we are not afraid of low-level civilization."
Zhang Yuan nodded: "yes, what is it called... Riley civilization, a primitive civilization that has not yet developed science and technology. Unfortunately, the badit civilization was not interested in it and did not conduct in-depth investigation. "
"But that was a thousand years ago. Who knows what will happen in a thousand years? "
"I bet nothing will happen in a thousand years. Primitive civilization or primitive civilization. "
"Bet?" Zhang Yuan quickly shook his head: "forget it, I don't think anything will happen... It should be a very interesting trip."
