Chapter 478 Conflicts begin to emerge
Is a fully automatic production line good? Of course it is good, but it has certain pre-technical requirements, a large initial investment, and requires daily maintenance.
The efficiency is indeed high, but the purpose is relatively single.
What about the cattle and horse workers? Although the efficiency is far less than that of the production line, it is easy to obtain, cheap, and with a little training, they can produce another thing.
If we only look at it from the initial stage, Qiu Qinghong’s method is quite reasonable.
First, they work hard to dig for fuel and stockpile supplies to ensure that everyone has food and protection from the cold when the severe cold comes, and then everyone works together as cattle and horses.
After the technology tree reaches a certain level, silicon-based labor will be gradually replaced with more advanced automated production machinery.
"Okay, let's start working hard according to this goal!"
After determining the general direction, Shen Guang can let go of his hands and feet.
He took pictures of several mining machines in succession, mining different resources, and then pulled out several conveyor belts to transport the minerals to the smelting furnace or warehouse.
Then put a batch of primary manufacturing machines to build various useful parts and buildings.
"Huh? Why are these two lines still fighting?
"Let's fly one line. ”
Shen Guang directly built a bridge, so that when one conveyor belt passes through another conveyor belt, it crosses from above.
Qiu Qinghong looked at the ongoing construction plan on his screen, with a smile on his face. Twitching slightly.
I simply couldn't see it.
This is too rude!
Let’s just say, can’t this production line really be planned better?
The placement of this kind of game production line is very particular. It is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also affects efficiency.
The conveyor belt has a speed limit for transporting materials, so the farther the conveyor belt is pulled, the slower the transportation speed.
Moreover, different production lines require several different raw materials for production, some are more and some are less. If the speed of the conveyor belt cannot be planned well, it is easy to cause jamming problems. Materials on one side are accumulated while materials on the other side are still delayed. Can't deliver.
What’s more, the clearer the production line is, the easier it will be to investigate later.
If it is a mess and many building units are mixed together, it will be tiring to find the source of the production line.
This is a lesson learned in blood.
But Shen Guang obviously had no plan at all. He just placed lumps in the east and west, and then pulled a flying line when needed. There was no sense of beauty at all.
Qiu Qinghong's brain ached from watching it.
It's like drawing a few irregular curves at will among the otherwise neat lines in front of a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
What a torture.
Qiu Qinghong actually wanted to say, had he known earlier that it would be bad for me to be the consul?
I will definitely stand at attention for you.
But Mr. Shen took the initiative to play the role of consul, so there was nothing he could say.
Qiu Qinghong held it in for a long time and said, "Mr. Shen, the production line is arranged...
"It's really quite artistic!
“This is unconstrained, very creative, practical, and quite resource-saving.
“With Mr. Shen here, this construction goal will definitely be easily achieved. ”
Shen Guang was doubtful: "Really? I just put it casually. Then maybe good designs have a clear understanding of each other."
Qiu Qinghong nodded: "Yes, Mr. Shen and I have a clear understanding of each other."
br>Construction activities continue.
Qiu Qinghong found that as the head of state, he could actually intervene a little in the construction.
To put it simply, it is remote control command.
Although you can't use it directly, you can speak or type.
This game itself has a chat system. You can connect to the microphone or type directly to chat. Of course, you can also choose to block the other party's speech.
In addition, the leader player can also put various marks on the map as reminders, which cannot be blocked.
So Qiu Qinghong tried to provide guidance.
After all, he couldn't stand this kind of unplanned construction.
"Mr. Shen, look, this area here has a lot of mineral resources, whether it is energy minerals used for burning or minerals used to feed silicon-based villains.
"We can Plan this as the main residential area.
“On the one hand, it can ensure maximum heating, and on the other hand, it can also store enough food.
“As for the iron ore and factory areas, they can be built farther away.
“In this way, even if an extreme disaster strikes, we can pull our people into shelters to maintain temperature and food.
"As for this area, I think it can be reserved for industrial upgrading.
"Hey, yes, Mr. Shen, if the two areas are further apart, we have to reserve space for the expansion of the industrial zone in advance. Lower space. "
Qiu Qinghong reminded carefully, but unexpectedly it aroused Shen Guang's resentment.
"Okay, Mr. Qiu, I have my own plan, you should mainly do your best. your job. "
Qiu Qinghong was helpless: "Okay, Mr. Shen. ”
But in fact, this is how the game is designed, and the workload of the head of state and the consul is very different. The Archon is really non-stop and has something to do every second.
Whether it is running a production line or dealing with some emergency situations, operations are required.
But the head of state is different. After the initial calculation and development goals are determined, there is very little he can do.
Except for a few operations that must be performed by the head of state, there is nothing to do at other times except watching the consul work.
Unfortunately, the head of state can't personally start another production line. He has nothing to do, so he can only give crazy orders?
This means that Shen Guang is his superior in reality, and Qiu Qinghong has to shut up.
If it were two players of equal status, it would be impossible for the head player to endure it.
I will definitely keep marking on the map, and then type out guidance and suggestions.
And the head of state players are confident, I am the head of state, why can't I command you?
Not to mention those heads of state players who are better at playing this kind of game. Seeing the consul laying out a poor production line, it is difficult to control themselves and not speak.
But the consul is definitely not convinced: you can do it!
First of all, you have to choose the head of state.
You just talk, and then I do all the dirty work. Why?
Unconsciously, conflicts arise.
Qiu Qinghong has vaguely realized that if two players are allowed to play this game, a far more intense quarrel will break out than at this time.
But...what can we do? This seems to be part of the core gameplay of "Star Project".
He was vaguely worried about this game, but seeing that Shen Guang was having fun playing it, he was too embarrassed to remind him.
Time passes minute by minute.
Although the target set for the first time was not achieved, the problem is not too big.
After all, there was no reference data when setting this indicator, so Qiu Qinghong just set one at random.
Although it did not meet the standard, it seems that the development of silicon-based life on this comet is not bad.
So as the leader, Qiu Qinghong naturally did not choose to "judge the Archon", but instead forgave the Archon and continued construction.
Suddenly, an employee in the conference room seemed to realize something and said: "Hey, Mr. Shen, Mr. Qiu, why do I feel like something is wrong?
"The one in the upper right corner Did the pointer go up? ”
Qiu Qinghong and Shen Guang were stunned for a moment, and each looked at the indicator in the upper right corner.
As technology continues to be unlocked, the information field in the upper right corner begins to become more and more complex.
However, it is generally less important information. In addition to the production, reserves, power generation, and time of various resources, there is also data such as environmental temperature and humidity.
A lot of data is useless because no changes can be seen at all.
Take the temperature as an example. After the most basic technology is unlocked, this thing can be checked, but it is always around minus 50 degrees.
There were slight fluctuations at the beginning, and then it entered a period of stability.
Qiu Qinghong looked at the temperature data and found that there did not seem to be any significant changes compared to the beginning.
“You don’t see a significant increase, right?
“And this temperature is the ambient temperature. When the factory we build burns energy, it will also increase the surrounding ambient temperature.
“After all, in order to fight against the severe cold, we also prepared special heating equipment.”
However, he glanced at Wei Chengjie, who was smiling and saying nothing, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Could it be that...
"Hey! yes!
"This rise in temperature is actually very abnormal!
"Oh no, Mr. Shen, we made a mistake! ”
Shen Guang didn't quite understand at this time: "What's wrong?"
Qiu Qinghong explained: "We are not moving away from the star, but approaching it!"
Qiu Qinghong originally Without thinking too much, he saw the temperature fluctuating and thought it was caused by the temperature of industrial production.
But then I suddenly realized: Without the construction of large-scale heating equipment, how could the energy in the factory area alone maintain such a high temperature?
This itself is unreasonable!
This shows that the comet is not moving away from the star, but approaching it!
Shen Guang still doesn't understand: "But if we are close to the star, shouldn't the temperature rise rapidly?"
Qiu Qinghong shook his head: "Of course not, Mr. Shen!
“Although the closer to the star, the higher the temperature, but don’t forget two points: First, we are inside the comet’s core at this time, not on the outer surface of the comet. The temperature environment here is relatively stable. Some; secondly, there is a large amount of ice, dry ice, dust, methane and the like on the surface of the comet, with ice and dry ice being the most abundant.
“That’s why comets have tails.
"When traveling towards the star, these ices will sublimate and turn into a long comet tail, but also because of their sublimation, they will take away some of the heat.
"So, the temperature does not change much , but it means that we are approaching the star..."
Shen Guang was speechless on the spot: "Doesn't that mean that our technology tree is completely wrong? Should you prepare for heat rather than cold next? ? "
Qiu Qinghong nodded awkwardly: "Yes... I will change the plan right now. ”
The situation suddenly became awkward.
The original technologies were all prepared for the severe cold, but now they are all unusable.
Although there are some technologies that can cope with severe cold and extreme heat at the same time, this technology consumes a lot of resources and cannot be developed in the short term.
So if you want to turn around at this time, time becomes urgent instantly, and there are obvious gaps in various resources.
Shen Guang sighed: "I said Mr. Qiu, you are the head of state, you can't make mistakes on this kind of question!"
"The direction is wrong. Wasn't all our work ahead of us was in vain?"
"You said you had nothing to do, so why did you have to be reminded of such a thing?"
"If it hadn't been for others to remind me, I'd be afraid that by the time the temperature here rises significantly, it would be too late! Although it may be too late now. "
Qiu Qinghong nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Mr. Shen, my question..."
