Ever since Einstein broke down the concepts of absolute mass and absolute energy and came to the conclusion that mass and energy are interchangeable, human research in this area has never stopped.
Atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs are the best proof. To put it bluntly, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are just a way of converting mass into energy, but the conversion efficiency of nuclear fusion is higher.
In this aspect of research, Xiao Yu can be regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants. With the previous research results of all mankind as a reserve, and the personal teachings of the great natural teacher on Jupiter, Xiao Yu is very confident in breaking through controllable nuclear fusion.
We are very confident about the technical barriers.
Five hundred kilometers away from the base, Xiao Yu rebuilt a small base and used Fengshen-1 to transport fifty specially made robots for research purposes.
This is a specialized controllable nuclear fusion research institute. Although Xiao Yu has considerable confidence in mastering this technology, he still has to make some risk estimates. It is no joke if the fusion reactor explodes. With such power,
I am afraid that the base that Xiao Yu has worked so hard to build can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Xiao Yu took out the deuterium, tritium and other raw materials that had been prepared from the old spacecraft, and began intense research.
At the same time, in another direction nearly a thousand kilometers away from Xiao Yu, in the long dark night, a bright spot suddenly appeared, then a second one, a third one, seven in total.
This is a prospecting team. These seven robots carry enough instruments to conduct on-site investigation of a rare earth mining area here.
Behind the robot formation, a strange semicircular aircraft roared. After a powerful airflow was ejected from the bottom, the entire aircraft quickly took off and flew towards the base.
This is Fengshen-1 returning home after completing its transportation mission.
On the ground, in the darkness, there were only seven lonely robots, walking forward step by step with weird steps.
Xiao Yu divided his spirit into one part in hundreds of millions, and watched this place through the night vision devices of seven robots.
The ground is still flat, with basically no big undulations. The terrain here is basically the same as that of the rest of Titan.
A robot slowly bent down, and the searchlight above its head illuminated the ground brightly. A large area of orange-red ground was taken into a photo, which was sent to Xiao Yu's head through the satellite in the sky. Xiao Yu
The next step of action was given.
The robot stretched out its right hand, and a shovel came out of the palm. It shoveled a shovelful of dirt on the ground. Then, the robot put its head up, and a strange red glow came out of its eyes.
Light, start analyzing these things.
The remaining six robots went in other directions and dispersed. One robot stopped after walking a thousand meters, then squatted down, protruded a drill from its arm, and plunged it into the ground.
.
Xiao Yu is watching here closely.
The drill went deeper and deeper. One meter, two meters, three meters...
It extended to five meters underground before stopping. Then, the robot began to slowly lift the drill out.
The bottom of the iron drill has already brought some samples taken out from five meters underground on Titan. The robot also put its head up, and a strange red light began to appear in its eyes, and it began to analyze these minerals.
analysis.
At the same time, Xiao Yu, a thousand kilometers away, had obtained the data in real time.
The field survey lasted for two days, and the seven robots surveyed a total area of about five kilometers. After combining the data obtained by the seven robots, Xiao Yu took a gentle breath: "This is, this is
It’s a rare rich mineral. It’s so rich in reserves and easy to mine. Such mineral veins are rare on earth.”
Moreover, the most important thing is that there is a medium-sized methane lake not far from this mineral vein, which means that Xiao Yu can obtain energy replenishment nearby and only needs to replenish oxygen here regularly. Such conditions
, it can be said to be truly unique.
This result made Xiao Yu extremely happy.
In fact, this result made Xiao Yu immediately make up his mind to establish another industrial base in this high-quality rare earth mining area.
Xiao Yu is wealthy now, which is completely different from the time when he was wandering in the starry sky. With almost unlimited energy on Titan and high-quality metal veins in the open air, there is no need to worry about the source of energy or materials. Building a
Industrial base is something that takes some time.
The main base is Base No. 1, the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute is Base No. 2, and this is Base No. 3.
During this period, ten more robot production lines came online. Now, more than seventy robots are born almost every day. If it were not for the scarcity of certain metal raw materials, Xiao Yu could even increase this production rate to one per day.
One hundred and twenty units or more.
Of course, this "heaven" refers to the time on earth, and a day is twenty-four hours long. As a human being, we cannot forget our roots, even if we leave the earth. Xiao Yu said.
"For this mine, we have to suspend the manufacture of other less important equipment... Well, we also need to design and manufacture some special mining equipment for this rare earth mine. Also, there are no iron ore and various factory buildings there.
The materials must also be prepared.”
Xiao Yu made a timetable and planned to complete all preparations in two months.
The machines roared and the robots shuttled busily. Countless kinds of strange machines were created and gathered at a temporary storage point outside the base.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu has now changed his mind. With the powerful computing power provided by the photon computer, Xiao Yu was not overwhelmed by these huge calculation data.
In the huge computer room, countless red or blue indicator lights are flashing continuously, and the light white mist is constantly floating out of the liquid hydrogen cooling pool, which proves how hot Xiao Yu's brain is at this moment. There are at least dozens of robots.
I shuttled back and forth inside, busy dealing with all daily matters.
It took Xiao Yu two full months to complete all preparations. In the temporary storage point for materials, there was a large group of robots lined up in neat lines, pulling various simple carts with countless various materials stacked on them.
There are numerous large machines.
"Rare Earth Expeditionary Corps, let's go!" At this moment, Xiao Yu shouted a slogan with unusual boldness.
The so-called Rare Earth Expeditionary Corps consists of a thousand robots including construction robots, mining robots, flamethrower robots, maintenance robots and other format robots, as well as various rare earth mining equipment, many building materials, and Fengshen.
Because the amount of supplies was too large, Xiao Yu could not transport it with the Fengshen-1, so he simply formed a so-called rare earth expedition regiment, which was actually a group of transport convoys. The Fengshen-1 helicopter served as the navigator.
Position.
As Xiao Yu gave the order to set off, a thousand robots took steps at the same time, pulling the carts behind them and began to move forward. The large machines with wheels started automatically, following closely the large army. There were also robots installed on them.
A simple computer device, under the control of Xiao Yu, can go wherever you want, which is extremely convenient.
The huge legion set off, and under the flying dust, they looked like a group of refugees fleeing for their lives. Xiao Yu was a little dissatisfied with the flying dust, because it was a little different from the heroic scene he had imagined in his head.
"A small place is a small place, how can it compare with the earth." Xiao Yu curled his lips and began to prepare the next batch of supplies to transport troops.
Almost every robot in this army pulls tons of supplies. This is unimaginable on Earth, but this is Titan, and the gravity here is only less than one-sixth of Earth's.
Here, everyone is a strongman.
Dozens of flamethrower robots carried heavy and strange-looking cans on their backs and held huge flamethrowers in their hands. They continued to spray the ground with flamethrowers in front of the troops, evaporating all small liquid methane lakes and clearing the way for the large troops behind them. Above their heads.
Above, the Fengshen-1 helicopter full of science fiction atmosphere was hovering at low altitude, constantly roaring, and under the control of Xiao Yu, guiding the direction of the troop.
The huge robot army is advancing in an orderly manner. Rain cannot stop their steps, wind cannot stop their steps, and darkness cannot stop their steps. The Rare Earth Expeditionary Corps advances resolutely, vowing to shine with the light of technology.
Light up this dark corner of the solar system.
Their forward speed reaches about 25 kilometers per hour. As long as there is sufficient energy, they do not need to rest. According to this speed, they can reach the designated location in about two days.
Because they encountered a small mountain range and a large lake on the way, the Rare Earth Expedition Corps had to take a long detour and wasted a little time. However, even so, they still arrived at this rare earth site forty-seven hours after setting off.
Mineral veins.
At this time, it happened to be dawn in the rare earth mining area. The weak sunlight reached here through a long distance of 1.7 billion kilometers, penetrated Titan's thick atmosphere, and shone on the rare earth expeditionary corps.
At dawn, on a piece of orange-red land, stood a thousand robots, as well as countless supplies and countless heavy machinery. Above the head, the huge Fengshen-1 helicopter kept circling, and searchlights arrogantly swept around until the rare earth was confirmed.
The expeditionary legion successfully arrived at its destination, then flew away with a low roar.
The sun reached the center of the sky and it was already noon. After rest and inspection, a thousand robots and various machinery began to get busy.
