Chapter 121 Technological Boom

Mount Sharp, also known as Mount Aeolia, is about 5,000 meters high, and its sedimentary layers may be more than 1 billion years old. There are many minerals here, and the resources are rich. In just a few days, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, fluorine, iron and other mineral veins were discovered by humans one by one.

Several small uranium mines were also found 300 kilometers away from the spacecraft. Of course, the output is definitely not as good as the large uranium mines in the Arctic. However, humans are not picky about food. Of course, the more energy, the better. There is no fossil energy on Mars, mainly nuclear energy and solar energy. Nuclear energy can still be packaged and taken away, and humans certainly hope that there are more uranium resources.

The railway began to be laid quickly, the excavation work of the automatic excavator was started one after another, and the research work on the UFO creation began to be allocated. All the follow-up work was carried out in an orderly manner...

At the same time, people were also intensively monitoring the alien UFOs and did not find any abnormalities.

Time passed quickly. It has been two years and three months since the explosion of the earth. It has been half a year since Yu Yifeng and his team returned from the expedition. It is March 0002 in the new human calendar. Three months ago, people spent the second New Year on the Noah.

However, the second year was much more dull, and there were no large-scale organized activities, because many scientists were frantically studying alien technology!

They were like chicken blood, with their heads full of technology, technology, technology. This wonderful pleasure of exploring the unknown felt like taking drugs... Want them to stop researching? !

No, absolutely not!

They refused to take a holiday, and even didn't want to celebrate the New Year. They just wanted to work, and they quarreled with the government staff who came to persuade them... In a word, it was absolutely impossible to ask them to stop working! Because of this, the second year could only pass hastily.

Thanks to the efforts of many scientists, the scientific and technological strength of the new human civilization has been greatly improved in the past six months...

However, Yu Yifeng knew in his heart that up to now, science and technology have not undergone a huge qualitative change, and there is still a long way to go before interstellar civilization.

Scientific research requires a lot of time, and just half a year is far from enough! But he is not in a hurry, and neither are humans. They have plenty of time to study and learn. As long as they make progress every day, they will always reach the point of qualitative change.

Yu Yifeng suddenly sighed: Today's human beings are like the craftsmen of the late Qing Dynasty who suddenly got a Boeing 737 aircraft from the 21st century! It is no problem to let them study it, but it is almost impossible to let them copy one.

This is entirely due to the lack of theory, experience and industrial strength. Insufficient preconditions, even if you see it, you may not be able to imitate it, which is also a very regrettable point for humans.

It's like a Boeing 737 aircraft. Whether it is the engine or various operating systems, the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty could not make it exactly the same, and even one of the parts could not be made, because this is something that spans several eras!

However, although it cannot be copied, scientists can be inspired by it. It should be no problem to make a "wooden plane" like the Wright brothers instead of another Boeing 737?

The scientists on the Noah are also in this state of exploration. They can't directly reach the level of alien civilization, but they can get inspiration and new ideas from alien creations... They start various experiments, and then transform the analyzed data into human things.

People don't aim high, only their own technology is truly owned! Only with such progress bit by bit can the road of science be more solid.

Every day, a lot of research reports are collected on Yu Yifeng's computer, and he has to concentrate on analyzing and browsing every day.

"The Kinov Industrial Plant has been completely completed. At present, only 12% of the industrial output has been used, and a large number of production lines are still idle."

"Excavators and trains have been produced, and there is no need to expand production in the short term..."

"Most of the supporting steelmaking blast furnaces have also stopped production, leaving only two. The overall power consumption of Noah has been reduced to 20 million watts..."

Yu Yifeng nodded, this situation was expected.

The suspension of production in the factory does not mean a decline in industrial production capacity. When needed, these production lines will be restarted, and a huge amount of production capacity will burst out instantly.

This super large factory with an area of ​​nearly 300 square kilometers is one of the best on the earth.

Chief Engineer Ivanovich and his team used a genius idea to divide the factory into fifteen blocks. A large number of transmission links were laid between each block, which could be linked to each other. The process was very complicated.

A total of 6,000 scientists and engineers worked in this factory. With physical labor almost eliminated, they were mainly responsible for design, monitoring and machine maintenance.

Because of the existence of this super factory, the industrial capacity of Noah has increased by more than 20 times compared to the original!

For example, if you want to produce 200,000 cutting robots, it would take at least a year with the industrial capacity of the lunar base at the time, but now it can be easily completed in less than half a month!

This is the *** of strength, the result of the wisdom and sweat of all mankind!

With such industrial capacity, the green light is also given to various scientific experiments. Scientists can give full play to their wild imagination without worrying about industrial capacity.

With resources, energy and capacity, it is now a paradise for science!

Although this factory can be laid out on a larger scale, if it is laid out further, the population may not be enough. Population has always been a very big shackle. Noah has only more than 50,000 people, and no more people can be allocated to this large factory.

While thinking, Yu Yifeng continued to browse the submitted plans. He had a large number of reports to review and approve every day.

"Research on new superconducting materials... approved!"

"Research on new space shuttles... approved!"

"Manufacturing of large hadron colliders... approved!"

After a series of plans were approved, he was really dizzy.

To be honest, there is no such thing as "cheating funds" in spacecraft now. Many reports have been reviewed many times by major scientists. He just needs to keep approving them.

But with a responsible attitude, Yu Yifeng still insisted on reading them one by one. He must know the technological progress of the entire new human civilization in order to calmly control the overall situation. Otherwise, he doesn't even know how far civilization has developed. What kind of leader is he?

The most headache and joy are the press conferences of major laboratories. In this era of technological boom, sometimes there are two or three a day, and he is always invited to participate. But he can't not participate, he is too busy!

That afternoon.

"... This new type of aluminum-air battery has an energy density 40 times that of ordinary lithium batteries, which greatly fills the gap in the material world. From now on, we will no longer worry about insufficient battery capacity!"

This is a press conference for new energy batteries. High-energy batteries have always been the research direction of many scientists. Batteries are very useful in both weapons and daily life.

"As we all know, the density of lithium batteries in the past was 200wh/Kg. If installed in a car, the driving range is about 480 kilometers, and the lifespan is very short, and it needs to be replaced in three or four years."

"But the energy density of this new aluminum-air battery is 8100Wh/Kg, and the driving range can reach 19,200 kilometers! The service life is more than ten years, and it can be used for a long time..."

The physicist Felix was on the stage. At this moment, he was beaming with joy and said to the many scientists below: "So, once the mass production of the new aluminum-air battery is achieved, the traditional lithium battery can be eliminated!"

This gentleman from the UK rarely has such an expression, and he is obviously in an extremely excited state.
