Chapter 23 The Sunstrider
"Does the Capital of the South really exist?" Selena heard the name.
In the world that will not come tomorrow, the capital of Tiannan is like another Shangri-La in a sense.
That is, everyone has heard of this name, but almost no one has seen it exist.
In the announcement that will not be coming tomorrow, the names of the Mechanical Pioneer and the Capital of Tiannan were mentioned. After entering the game, almost all the refuges were announced by the Mechanical Pioneer in the name of Lu Yuan, calling on humans from all over the world to build this Capital of Tiannan and rebuild the city of hope for mankind to ignite the fire.
But, that's what it said.
It has been more than two months since this announcement. For most players who have not arrived tomorrow, they still haven't seen any impact. After all, there is no portal that can directly reach the Mechanical Pioneer Base. If you want to do anything, you have to rely on your feet or simple vehicles to cross the entire vacuum ice desert. The difficulty is about the same as if you try to run from Pluto's South Pole to Pluto's North Pole.
The only thing worth looking forward to is the mechanical beetles sent from the mechanical pioneer to the outside world and the materials and information it carries. If other shelters have mastered simple robot manufacturing technology, then many things that originally rely on human lives to pile up, such as the mine accident in the shelter that Su Mei joined before, would not have such heavy consequences.
Now when Selena asked about Tiannan Capital, Lu Yuan smiled: "The Tiannan Capital of course exists, but it only exists in the blueprint. The Tiannan Capital is now just a glass greenhouse. Let's try to grow vegetables in the greenhouse."
The boy said so.
Selena seemed to understand it, and then pointed to the simple-looking mechanical beetles in front of her. The beetles were about the same size as small sea turtles, but they were more solid and efficient. Those who had played tomorrow would not forget the fear of being dominated by these groups of beetles: "Why don't we make this beetle?"
During the meeting, Lu Yuan showed everyone the samples based on the robots he used to go to Ice Crystal Country to make humanoid machines, rather than the mechanical beetle that looks simpler and has a single function.
"Because we can't do it for the time being," Lu Yuan shook his head and said: "Mechanical beetles seem simple, but the accuracy of the parts and the strictness of the materials are higher than imagined. In particular, the energy device used by mechanical beetles is a variant of the core of nuclear fusion. At present, we do not have such technical reserves."
"Although I'm doing it," the teenager added.
The robot energy he is currently making is a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell or a high-energy battery, and does not use nuclear power. On the one hand, this is more sensitive. Most people still talk about nuclear discoloration, which will enter the robots of ordinary people. If nuclear power is used, it will also cause various troubles and misunderstandings.
However, with the further development of nuclear technology, Lu Yuan still relies on Jinghai Laboratory to produce energy sources that integrate the core of nuclear fusion and create robots with greater endurance to use in professional fields.
After all, just like nuclear fission nuclear power plants can mass produce weapon-level nuclear weapons raw materials, fusion nuclear power plants can also produce a large amount of nuclear raw materials. These nuclear wastes are less polluted than fission waste and are more conducive to human collection and utilization.
In this regard, it is also the reason why every capital of Tiannan needs a nuclear fusion tower as its central building.
Of course, the subsequent renuclear fusion is also the goal pursued by Lu Yuan, but this goal does not need to be so urgent.
Calculated according to the atomic binding energy, elements before iron can release energy outward when fusion, no matter more or less, while elements after iron, fusion begin to absorb energy, so at this time fusion begins to become unprofitable, and instead fission gradually becomes popular.
If it is in the most perfect state, humans can indeed fusion everything on the earth, including the soil and stones that can be seen everywhere. After all, soil and stones are just mixtures of carbon, silicon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, and strictly speaking, they are also fusion fuels.
However, the time was far away from the road at that time, and the boy was not so eager. After all, just extracting the deuterium and tritium elements from the entire ocean for fusion, the income was equivalent to three hundred times the volume of oil in the ocean.
This reserve level of oil is enough for humans to pass through the entire period of ignorance and reach the era of interstellar colonization.
The era of using organic energy is ultimately primitive, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal heat, tides, and these are essentially another manifestation of solar energy.
Only by conquering nuclear energy can we truly grasp the key to human destiny and then open the door to the future.
Instead of dying of hunger and thirst on the road.
Yes, Lu Yuan remembered the story of Kuafu chasing the sun.
The giant chased the sun, but eventually died of thirst on the road. He drank the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but eventually did not arrive at the Daze to drink the last sip of water.
Obtaining nuclear energy is to master your own ability to make water.
Only in this way can we never be controlled by others.
"I actually always feel that you are very powerful." Selena looked up at Lu Yuan who was a little in deep thought: "But when I saw you real person, I felt that you were even more powerful than I thought."
Lu Yuan smiled: "There are no powerful people in this world, only people who are not working hard enough."
"I just tried hard to make myself look a little more powerful."
"Come on." The boy reached out and grabbed Selena's hand in the world of this game.
"Please allow me to introduce you to what the robot factory in this game world looks like."
...
...
Just as Lu Yuan said, the robot factory used by the Mechanical Pioneer is infinitely close to the final form of the real world machine factory he wants to complete.
However, in such a factory, the Mechanical Pioneer relied on the mineral resources in the mountains where he was located, the strategic materials he was stored, the nuclear fusion technology he had plundered, as well as the existence of the Transportation Commission and various high-precision computers, and finally formed such a final form. Lu Yuan and Lu Yao were able to obtain this base, which was basically an unprecedented strategic gift package. Lu Yuan also believed that if this was his future in the original world, obtaining the Mechanical Pioneer base was also a crucial step for him to be able to make time machines to travel to an era when the sun was not extinguished.
It’s just why I don’t have any memories of the future, and why I have to slowly reveal the guidance through the game like this.
Originally, Lu Yuan thought that he was revealing and guiding this world.
Now it seems that even I am the one who is being guided.
Is the person who guides you the future?
