Chapter 34 New Environment
To be on the safe side, Oliver ordered that a billion-ton helium-3 nuclear bomb be built as soon as possible, along with the corresponding "faceplate" engine.
After one success, it could be copied step-by-step and would not be technically difficult. Although the gravitational force of Mars is a bit greater than that of the Moon, a billion-ton helium-3 bomb would still work.
In case of any crisis on Mars, human beings can detonate the nuclear bomb and run away on the Noah spacecraft. As long as it is not a virus or other biochemical crisis, escape from Mars should be fine, right?
This is Oliver's own idea, and Wade and their discussion, and immediately gave this order, he instantly felt a lot more relaxed ...
The industrial revolution continued, and in the next period of time, one good news followed another, people's new inventions, new ideas like a spring gushed out!
The machines are running, the motors are roaring, this is really an era of wisdom and sweat!
If an ordinary white-collar worker on Earth came to the Noah, he would find it difficult to find a job with his level of knowledge ...
A large number of occupations require a high level of skill as well as experience, everyone here, at least a master's degree, many or PhD, but still will feel their lack of knowledge ...
Like the top heavy industry base - the Genov industrial plant, a single ordinary worker, you have to be able to research, programming, design, testing, sensing, and also artificial intelligence!
This requirement is really, really high ... people had to work and learn at the same time.
And other professions, such as doctors, journalists and other jobs, also gathered a large number of talents, none of them is the top level, and the demand for their positions has been full.
Therefore, an ordinary person on Earth, if the thought is more correct, the best choice is to become a soldier.
When the soldier does not have to be any level, just more tired ... security department shortage of people ah, too few soldiers, Wade heart bitter, he thinks at least 500 soldiers to meet the needs, but Oliver definitely will not give him so many people to arrange.
...
Time flies, in the busy people, another month has passed ...
After getting a lot of resources invested, the assembly line in the Kinov industrial factory is getting more and more, and the industrial capacity will become stronger and stronger, the first phase of the project is successfully completed, and the second phase is being built, and the third phase ...
Moreover, the need for this construction time will be rapidly shortened.
The most important thing is that these assembly lines are fully automated, and when they are running, they basically do not need manpower.
In other words, an assembly line can process different parts to help replicate another assembly line, so that the growth rate of the assembly line will be greatly accelerated.
Such an industry is a strong and desirable industry!
Experimental robots of all kinds finally try to go to work, and they don't get tired, they don't complain, they don't make mistakes. Once they are confirmed to work well, they will be produced in large quantities.
Humans are only responsible for the design, monitoring, and eventual maintenance.
Oliver is attempting a more radical reform, and the original plastic, clothing, and chemical companies will be eliminated and replaced by a whole, large light industrial factory.
According to the scientists' design, this light industry factory can mass produce a large number of different materials.
Countless raw materials will enter from a large port, through the conveyor belt, distributed to various different assembly lines. These assembly lines, in turn, have a complex interaction design that allows them to transport and resupply each other.
Such a factory, just one, can achieve the production of a large number of goods!
Of course, the specific drawings are still being designed ... If it can really be completed, people's light industry will have a qualitative leap! What towels, clothes, plastic, these basic household items, a factory will solve.
The "washbasin" engine was also completed within a month, using a large number of scrap steel and scrap materials.
This is the common design of many scientists, they believe that no matter what materials, whether steel or scrap, in front of the nuclear explosion are similar, the engine as long as it can be bound in a certain period of time the shock wave below, even if the merit is complete.
In this way, the Noah can run away at any time, Oliver also completely put down the heart ...
This day, he is visiting the Noah's new environment construction, the inside can be said to have changed greatly!
Because of the time, now only 40 square kilometers of living space has been opened up, only one-fifth of the original plan. But 40 square kilometers is not small, equivalent to the area of a small town, compared to the previous can be much better.
Fifty thousand people live in it and it can be said that it is very comfortable and not crowded at all.
At this time is close to the New Year, the streets are dressed up with the New Year's weather.
The new human calendar, which is calculated according to the day the earth exploded, is 365 days a year, and now near the end of the year, many people follow their own national customs.
Asians like to celebrate Chinese New Year, Europeans and Americans like to celebrate Christmas and New Year's Day, and there is still some of this festive atmosphere. The government has approved some activities for people to do spontaneously, and when the time comes, there will be a five-day holiday for everyone.
The current living environment is much better, people can not afford to buy a house, but also basically said goodbye to the tin house, living in the government to provide rental housing, rent according to the size of the room to determine.
But this "rent" and "buy", except for the psychological factor, there is not much difference. The government will not repossess people's rental houses, and they can live in them for a long time, no different from their own homes.
"Look, at the top of the sky are the latest energy-saving bulbs that effectively mimic sunlight. Green plants are enough to photosynthesize normally under this kind of light."
Leading his tour was an old acquaintance, Dr. Roman, and one of the most enthusiastic about building an ecological environment, who walked while introducing Oliver to the latest facilities and equipment.
"This kind of light can adjust its brightness with the change of time, it is only on during the day, and will gradually go out after six o'clock at night, so that people can rest easily."
"And over here, is the New Hope Plantation, people's main food production base."
Oliver nodded in satisfaction as he walked into the plantation and was greeted by a large expanse of greenery; the New Hope Plantation is still mainly cultivated without water, with only a few large fruit trees that have to be cultivated in soil because the technology is not mature.
Only, these fruit trees planted not long ago, are still small saplings.
A large number of cultivation equipment are produced by the last agricultural transformation program, can be directly brought to use, which saves a lot of things.
At a glance, rice, wheat, corn and so on are all available, and a large number of vegetables, melons and fruits are also in cultivation, although not yet mature, but they look very healthy.
New Hope, what a great name!
Because the temperature and light can be controlled in the plantation, all the vegetables and fruits are beginning to be available all year round regardless of the season ... This is a very cool thing for foodies.
"Now it seems that the food crisis is definitely not going to happen ah ..." Oliver exclaimed.
He has been very satisfied, so little work to get this way, the staff must have put a lot of effort.
"That's for sure! As expected, the plantation can produce food for 200,000 to 300,000 people a year."
One of the leaders introduced. He was overjoyed to receive Oliver's praise.
For them experts, if there is still a food crisis after such conditions, it is better to die headlong ...
That person in charge thought about it and continued, "If we open up more planting areas, we can certainly grow more food, but for now, we don't need it for the time being, otherwise it would be a waste."
"At the moment, the oxygen gas output and consumption of the Noah, for the time being, are in balance."
"The food that humans can't finish can be fed to chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cows and other animals to provide a source of meat for humans. This part of the job is taken care of by New Hope Ranch."
So that's how it is, Oliver nodded understanding, no wonder so much food needs to be produced ... the extra food is consumed by other animals.
This grass-eating first-class consumers, the longest meat is the pig, its feed ratio in about 2.5, that is, a pig grows to 120 kg, it has to eat nearly 300 kg or so of feed.
Sheep and cattle do not grow meat some, the feed ratio is relatively large, about 5, that is, eat 5 kg of feed can grow a pound of meat.
A hen that can lay eggs {not broilers}, usually weighs three or four pounds, but eats 80 pounds of feed a year, but it can lay one hundred and fifty eggs ...
There is a lot of work involved in raising eggs. It is Oliver's custom to leave the professionals to the professionals.
He believes that these experts will certainly be able to keep a balance between food production as well as consumption, not letting too much food rot and mold, and not creating a food crisis.
"You have to make sure that we have to have more than two years of grain reserves in our granaries." Oliver admonished.
"This is natural." The person in charge replied in a hurry.
Oliver thought for a moment and then asked, "When will people be able to eat pork and beef?"
"It is estimated that it will take another year or two. These creatures are provided by the biology laboratory, and the number is small and the reproduction is slow, at least until the population is relatively large to consider. However, chicken, duck and fish are already edible."
