Chapter 75 Sense of Crisis

"The latest news, the first generation of nuclear-powered excavators has been designed, jointly developed by Tesla Research Institute and Super Intelligence Laboratory. At present, the first generation of test machines is being debugged...

According to experts, if the research of nuclear-powered excavators is successful, its power system and excavation capacity will be more than ten times that of old excavators!"

"The latest news, the first batch of uranium resources from Mars has been processed, and its output can fully supply the current consumption of nuclear power plants... New mineral centrifuges are being designed."

"According to professionals, the first phase of the project of the Kinov Industrial Plant has been completed by more than half. It is located in the medium and low gravity area of ​​the spacecraft and will be fully automated... At that time, people will only be responsible for the final monitoring and maintenance."

"Since the establishment of the new human government, our first newborn has finally been born. His parents named him "Wes", the English name is wise, hoping that he will become a wise person..."

This is the first issue of the "News Weekly" just published by the new human government. Each copy costs 0.5 New Dollars and is printed by the Propaganda Department. It is published once a week and will record the big events and big news that happened this week.

This price is not particularly expensive. The newspaper has 32 pages and is sufficient. The monthly expenditure is only about two new coins. Basically everyone can afford it and people are willing to buy one.

The new government created this kind of newspaper, on the one hand, to recycle people's new coins. On the other hand, it is to improve the transparency of information and increase people's participation.

Now, everyone on the Noah has such a feeling that the entire civilization is slowly progressing. As part of the new human race, they naturally have a strong sense of accomplishment and belonging to civilization. Because it is their hard work that makes the wheel of civilization slowly move forward.

This is also an atmosphere specially created by the new government.

There is still too little entertainment on the Noah, and there are few movies, TV series, novels and the like. After a day's work, everyone is very tired and has no mood to create content in this area, which leads to a lack of entertainment on the entire Noah.

For a normal person, only letting him work but not letting him have fun is likely to produce a series of negative emotions such as boredom with work or depression.

Although people nowadays are like chicken blood, Yu Yifeng still has to care about people's mental health... This is also a rainy day.

Therefore, this newspaper not only has news content, but also carries a certain amount of entertainment. In the back pages of the newspaper, you can see some science fiction stories, serialized stories, love stories, or some jokes, as well as some scientific knowledge in the universe, etc.

These things... of course, were copied from the old database. Anyway, the earth is gone, and no one cares about copyright issues.

Not only that, Yu Yifeng is also considering trying out the "work six days and rest one day" work system, where you can rest one day for every six days of work, which is equivalent to one day off a week.

Such a rest system, although it seems that people's working hours have become shorter, work efficiency will increase. After all, people are not machines and still need to rest... Seeing the scientists' eyes red and overworked, Yu Yifeng felt that they still needed more rest.

Next, entertainment venues such as Internet cafes, gymnasiums, and parks will be developed one after another to provide people with entertainment facilities...

Yu Yifeng recorded these problems in his notebook one by one, preparing to find ways to improve them in the future...

Suddenly, a report was sent to his mailbox.

"Why, are there still not enough people?" He looked at the reports written by several responsible personnel, which mentioned the problem of manpower.

Scientists are working hard to develop new excavators, super trains, etc., so that human mining capabilities can be greatly improved.

However, while mining capabilities have been improved, the ability to smelt metals has not kept up at all.

The current smelting machines are almost running 24 hours a day, and the workers are divided into three shifts, but they are still too busy.

They watched the accumulation of more and more minerals, such as iron ore, aluminum ore, copper ore... piled up there like mountains, and their anxiety can be imagined. If someone who doesn't know, they would think that their smelting workers are slacking off!

This is the result of the old-fashioned excavator working at full capacity. Once the new excavator comes out, the output can be increased tenfold!

These metal smelting workers are really going to cry. Damn, digging so much ore, they can't smelt it at all. It's impossible to complete it.

Yu Yifeng understood that this was a complaint to him. Asking for people was secondary. They really tried their best, but they really couldn't refine all of it...

But there is no need to worry about this. Yu Yifeng is in control of the overall situation and has a clear mind.

Mining can be simple and rough, but smelting is a technical job, and the output may not be high. Even if the output is greatly increased, there is not enough electricity.

However, the mines still have to be dug vigorously. With the huge size of Noah, no matter how much ore can be loaded, and the mass of the spacecraft is constant, it will not increase the difficulty of takeoff.

"I have understood your problem, you don't have to worry..." Yu Yifeng wrote in the email: "Under the current circumstances, the reserve of minerals must be as large as possible. The things transported to Noah are what we really own!"

Now on Noah, there is no free market economy, and there is no need to worry about the balance of supply and demand.

If in the past, oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia suddenly increased their oil production tenfold, the price of oil would collapse instantly.

If Australia suddenly increased the production of iron ore and copper ore tenfold, the prices of these metals would inevitably collapse. Therefore, many energy giants are fully capable of mining vigorously, but they have to do it slowly because they have to consider the supply and demand relationship and want to make more money!

But now, the new human civilization is a planned economy, and all the resources dug out are state-owned. There is no need to consider so much, just keep digging.

"... We can't spare more manpower for the time being, and we can consider improving smelting capacity later. The excavated ore can be piled in the warehouse... I am also very grateful for your efforts and labor..."

After writing the email, Yu Yifeng quickly sent it to appease the metal smelting staff. This kind of work of appeasing people's hearts must still be done.

He held his chin and thought about it. Of course, there is a reason for such crazy mining, because in Yu Yifeng's heart, there is always a hairy feeling, a sense of danger that is there and not there.

This feeling appears from time to time, sometimes it makes him shudder, and sometimes it is so subtle that he can hardly feel it.

But he always feels that Mars is not a kind place, and it is a good thing to leave Mars as soon as possible. He believes in his sixth sense very much, and this feeling has saved him many times.

So, where does this sense of danger come from? Yu Yifeng searched for a long time, but he really didn't know. He sent someone to secretly ask Calvin in prison, but he didn't know either.

Calvin is always like this. When it comes to the critical moment, it's useless!

Yu Yifeng feels that Mars may have something very dangerous. Once it explodes, the whole human race will be finished...

Maybe Mars will explode like the earth? Or is there something else dangerous?

I don't know! This kind of unknown is what bothers him the most.

In fact, many ordinary people have a sense of uneasiness in their hearts, even including a large number of scientists. The ability of the sixth sense is not only possessed by Yu Yifeng, a superhuman, but also by many other ordinary people, but not so strong.

They subconsciously think that this sense of uneasiness is caused by the Mars virus, and they don't think much about it and deliberately ignore it.

However, this sense of uneasiness still indirectly affects people's behavior. Otherwise, humans could have developed peacefully on Mars for a while, instead of mining like crazy and then running away...

Many people have this idea in their hearts: Mars cannot be left for long! Therefore, many technological breakthroughs of mankind are inclined towards mining.

"What exactly is this elusive danger?" Yu Yifeng couldn't help but wonder, and shook his head again. He didn't have the ability to predict, so he really didn't know...

Calvin, that charlatan, was really unreliable, and he just knew there was danger.

But no matter what, mines must be mined, and human development cannot do without these things. Without mining, where will the resources and energy come from? He still held a glimmer of luck. Mars has existed for so long, almost 4.6 billion years, and there shouldn't be any big problems in mining for a few years...

Even if a crisis breaks out, it shouldn't...break out in one or two years.
