Of course, energy replacement does not happen overnight.
There are so many things that need to be considered.
First of all, the first point is, is this energy universal?
This is the most important point, because this kind of energy needs to be supplied stably for a long time. Otherwise, if the energy is cut off, there will be many problems
So this point is very important. In addition, there are many other factors that need to be taken into consideration.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple..."
"But I feel that if this matter is done well, there is still some room for it."
They did not They are not stupid, they know very well that the energy they currently use is mainly nuclear fusion.
This energy is one of the long-term and stable energy sources they can think of.
But the spacecraft uses a huge amount of energy, especially during the jump.
This will keep their energy in a state of shortage. If it cannot be replenished, even this energy cannot be maintained for a long time.
Although convertible resources can be seen on many planets, there are still a large number of planets that do not have such things.
So it is urgent to replace with new energy sources.
Once a new energy source is replaced, there are many things to consider.
Just like the most basic distribution of energy in the universe and the engines used by this energy, various things like this need to be studied from scratch.
But this is an inevitable step, and the energy currently used is not enough to sustain subsequent operations.
"Well, it doesn't make much sense to think about this now. Let's wait until we get to that planet before making a decision. Now that we have prepared everything we need to prepare here, let's set off. "
"Yes, let's go and take a look first."
"How is the astronomy department preparing now?"
The astronomy department is naturally responsible for something more important, which is observing the next planet to settle on.
If they don’t settle on a planet to replenish resources, sooner or later they will consume all their energy.
"Currently, the astronomy department has found two planets that meet our supply conditions, but they are both for energy supply. Those planets also contain metals, which can expand our spacecraft again."
“As for other living planets, we have not discovered them yet.”
Everyone who heard this nodded.
"The situation is probably understood."
"It's good to be able to find two. If we want to find more, we will definitely need everyone's cooperation."
"We can only take one step at the moment. There is no way to plan further, but for us, even this is enough."
"In short, since it's almost done, let's go."
That's it. After being prepared in this way, the players once again embarked on the journey.
As the spacecraft moved slowly, it soon entered space.
As the spaceship slowly enters the transition state, the players are about to head to the last area. This last area is very different from the areas they encountered before. This is their last The final stop is also the last resupply.
After a period of jump like this, when the spaceship slowly docked in the orbit of this planet, the players began to get busy again.
This planet needs to be expanded again, and this time the expansion is naturally the laboratory and many necessary scientific research rooms.
In addition, they also need to collect the personnel they need here, and all the expanded cabins are naturally used to reserve the personnel they need now. As for new energy, they will also use some energy stones. sample and start researching the corresponding facilities.
Thanks to their now well-established ecological cycle system, it is possible not to replenish a large amount of resources in a short period of time.
At least there is no need to worry about food in the short term, but they also know very well that they must find a place to replenish food as soon as possible, because judging from the current situation, they also need to solve the food problem as soon as possible. Solve it.
Otherwise, the problems encountered later will be very difficult. Food is a very critical factor.
Although they can persist for a long time, their production efficiency and their consumption efficiency are still not equal.
So they need to maintain this balance as soon as possible, which naturally requires their joint efforts.
In this way, as time goes by, the days pass day by day.
Soon they found all the resources they needed here. In addition to the resources they needed, they also found the special energy ore they were longing for. The energy contained inside this ore is very terrifying.
This made the players excited, because if they could use this energy, they would no longer have to worry about it in the later stage.
“I calculated that at the current ratio, the energy contained in a stone is equivalent to the amount that our nuclear fusion was able to achieve in at least 12 years.”
“And that’s just A stone the size of a palm is simply incredible.”
"It's outrageous."
"We currently have a warehouse for such energy and must develop corresponding facilities and replace it when the time comes."
"It must be researched as soon as possible. In this case, we don’t need to worry about energy in the future.”
After understanding the special nature of this energy, the players have already made up their minds.
The energy contained is too huge. This is the new energy they dream of.
Although on the surface this thing seems to be very defiant, in fact as the level of civilization becomes higher and higher, various flaws of this thing will gradually be discovered.
First of all, although this kind of energy is very useful, it is very difficult to obtain, at least not everywhere.
Of course it is much better than the energy they use now.
This new energy is naturally the reason why you need to master it when setting foot in the universe. It is very simple. The power of their spaceship is very low now, so I feel that some basic personnel can use it, but when they want to develop better in the later stage, the level of their spaceship users will continue to increase.
If there is no new energy, then it will never be able to improve. So what they can do now is to try their best to research this thing so that they have a certain amount of capital to gain a foothold in this universe.
In this way, the vigorous research began. This is not an easy task, and everyone knows this.
"I don’t need to say more about your specific situation. At present, we must come up with new methods of using personnel as soon as possible. In this way, to a certain extent, we can solve the problem of our constant travel to other planets to obtain supplies. Energy problem."
"Based on our current energy reserves. Look, if we develop a device that can use this energy, we won't have to worry about energy issues for at least the next few hundred years."
"So the research department concerns all of us. The fate of people is left to you, and you must study it as soon as possible.”
"Of course, excluding energy, the same is true in other aspects. First of all, in terms of food, the growth cycles of the plants we cultivate are getting shorter and shorter, and the yields are getting higher and higher. And according to this trend, it won't take long before we can cultivate A perfect plant.”
“And now that our entire ecosystem has been expanded, we can barely sustain our daily expenses.”
“In terms of food, we are short. There is no need to worry too much during the time.”
"Of course we still need to increase higher production, because we need to have some storage belts, and we also need to consider future generations. In order to ensure that our most basic identity is not allowed to have future generations, the continuation of civilization is needed. This thing, so there will be more and more mouths to eat in the future."
"So we have to arrange a lot of things, in addition to the seeds brought back from the planet, especially medicinal materials. This category also needs to be considered more.”
"This is also very critical. After all, our life safety is also very important. Of course, there are many other details that I don’t need to say more."
"And the most important thing is that we must also We must consider the issue of our activity space.”
This spacecraft looks very large on the surface.
But in fact, considering the utilization of space, because such a large spaceship not only has to carry so many people, but also has various ecological circles that need to be improved, as well as resource reserves, etc. etc. all require space.
Although they have continued to expand over the years, one thing I have to admit is that this expansion is limited. Even now, the environment where players live is still not particularly large.
This thing is indeed bearable in the short term, but it will inevitably become a bit depressing over time, and players must also consider their mentality and other things.
“So it is urgent to build a professional residential cabin.”
“We must ensure that we are comfortable and at ease, so that everyone can be more in the mood to work, and can Better to build our spaceship. From the time we escaped from the planet to now, we have It has been several years.”
“I personally feel that it is very good that we have survived for so many years.”
“Of course this is not enough, we not only have to survive. Come down, we still have to live very well, this is my goal.”
"So this time we must ensure that we have perfected everything we have, and continue to do these things well in the future, so as to build this spaceship into an ark that belongs to us."
As the words fell, a group of players also began to discuss.
“The first is the current problem of our personnel. Now that we have samples of energy use, it is inevitable to research and replace the corresponding equipment that uses energy.”
"Of course there is no problem in continuing to use the original energy, as long as It is to maintain the operation of some important facilities during replacement. "
"Okay, this is the first point, the difficulty we need to overcome now. As long as we have new energy, we can go forward. Go further and find more goodies in more places.”
At this moment, a player expressed his thoughts.
As his words fell, the second player stood up.
“Okay, everyone.”
“I don’t think there is any need to say more about other things. I will also share my own opinions here.”
< br>"What I need to discuss with you here is naturally another matter, and what is this matter? It is also very simple."
"That's about our residential area. In fact, in the residential area, we can separate a large area as a living place. In this way, we can carry out some relatively comfortable construction there."
“The height of the residential area can be set at about 3 kilometers. If our current spacecraft has an overall length of nearly 6 kilometers, we will set a 6×3.”
“1.5 kilometers of it can be used for building construction. Don’t underestimate the height of this 1.5 kilometers for building construction.”
“According to the current standard height of the first floor of about three meters, our distance We can build at least a few hundred floors.”
“If it’s a few hundred floors, we only need one building to accommodate all of our current people.”
As his words fell, another person stood up.
"There is no big problem with your idea, but it is obviously inappropriate."
"It would be bad if the building is built too high. My suggestion is to divide that area into This is the operation method for the upper and lower levels. "
"Our current people. It doesn’t take much at all. A large part of the area can be built into an entertainment area, living area, etc., plant some flowers and plants, and arrange the environment of that area well. "
"According to my wishes. It is estimated that that area can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people. "
“It won’t seem particularly crowded.”
In fact, according to current standards, three people can live in 100 square meters.
Not to mention hundreds of floors, the height of more than 20 floors can accommodate thousands of people.
Of course, but considering the peace of mind and nature they want to live here in the future, they must be planned.
Because this will be their future residence.
In the future, more people will live and develop here.
So it must be clearly planned.
In this way, everyone was discussing one word after another, starting from the most basic discussion, and then progressing to a more in-depth discussion in the later stages. Of course, apart from these, there is another point that they are more concerned about.
“We also need to consider the defense system, not only the defense of the spacecraft itself. Now our spacecraft can only be said to be able to withstand the environment of space, but the defense of the spacecraft itself can be ignored.”
“There is no offensive system on the external belt, which means that we don’t have many means at all when facing the enemy.”
Just like this, everyone was discussing this matter. Regarding offense and defense, they really didn't have any good ideas for the time being.
Because all their technology trees were originally for survival, it is actually very difficult to re-engage in this kind of weapon research now, especially in the spaceship. A small disappointment may not be the whole thing. All spaceships are gone. (End of this chapter)
