Chapter 78: Technology blowout

Mount Sharp, also known as Mount Aeolian, is about 5,000 meters high and the sedimentary layer may be more than one billion years old. There are many minerals and abundant resources here, and in just a few days, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, fluorine, iron and other veins have been discovered by humans in turn.

A few small uranium mines were also found 300 kilometers away from the ship, but of course, the yield is certainly not as good as the big uranium mines in the Arctic. But humans are not picky about what they eat, and the more energy there is, the better. There is no fossil energy on Mars, mainly nuclear energy as well as solar energy. Nuclear energy can still be packed away, and humans certainly hope that the more uranium resources, the better.

The railroad began to be laid quickly, the excavation work of the automatic excavator opened one after another, and the research work on the flying saucer creation began to be distributed. Everything was followed up in an orderly manner ...

At the same time, people were intensively monitoring the alien flying saucers and did not find any abnormalities.

Time flies, two years and three months have passed since the Earth's explosion began to count. It has also been half a year since Oliver returned from their expedition. It is now March of 0002 in the New Human Calendar, and three months ago, people spent the second New Year on board the Noah.

But the second year is a lot more uneventful, and there is no large-scale organization of activities, because many scientists are frantically researching alien technology!

They are all and hit the chicken blood general, full of technology, technology, technology, the wonderful thrill of this exploration of the unknown, it feels like sucking du ... want them to stop research?!

No, absolutely not!

They one by one refused to take a vacation, and even do not want to spend the year, they just want to work, and also and went to persuade the government staff quarrel ... in a word, want them to stop working is absolutely not! Because of this, the second year will have to pass hastily.

With the efforts of many scientists, this half year, the new human civilization's technological strength has been greatly improved ...

But Oliver knew in his heart, as of now, science and technology has not produced a huge qualitative change, there is still a big distance from interstellar civilization.

Scientific research this needs a lot of time, just six months is far from enough! But he is not in a hurry, humans are not in a hurry, they have a lot of time to study and learn, as long as every day progress, will always reach the step of qualitative change.

Oliver suddenly had this sigh: the current human beings, like the late Qing Dynasty craftsmen, suddenly acquired a Boeing 737 aircraft from the 21st century! Let them study some is no problem, but to let them copy a, is almost impossible.

This is a complete lack of theory, experience, and industrial strength. The preconditions are not enough, even if you see it, you can't necessarily imitate it, which is a very regrettable point for human beings.

Just like a Boeing 737 aircraft, whether the engine or various operating systems, the Qing Dynasty craftsmen are not able to do exactly the same, even one of the parts can not do, because this is something that spans several eras!

However, although it can not be copied, scientists can be inspired by it, not to build another Boeing 737, to make a Wright brothers like "wooden aircraft", should not be a problem, right?

Scientists on board the Noah are in this state of fumbling. They can't directly reach the alien civilization, but they can get inspiration from the alien creation, get new ideas ... they embarked on a variety of experiments, and then the analysis of the data, into the human own things.

People are not overly ambitious, only the technology that belongs to them, is really owned! Only with such little by little progress, the path of science can be more solid.

Every day, a large number of research reports are gathered on Oliver's computer, and he has to concentrate on analyzing and browsing them every day.

"The Kinov industrial plant has been fully completed, and only 12% of the industrial output has been used so far, with a large number of production lines remaining idle."

"Excavators as well as trains have been produced, and there is no need to expand production in the short term ..."

"Most of the supporting steelmaking blast furnaces have also stopped production, leaving only two. The overall power consumption of the Noah is reduced to 20 million watts ..."

Oliver nodded, this situation was to be expected.

The plant stopping production did not accidentally represent a drop in industrial capacity; when the time came to need it, these production lines would restart again, instantly exploding into a sea of capacity.

This super factory, with an area of nearly 300 square kilometers, is one of the largest on the planet.

Chief engineer Ivanovich and his team, with a genius vision, divided the factory into fifteen regional blocks, with a large number of transmission links laid between each block, which can be linked to each other in a very complex process.

In total, six thousand scientists and engineers worked in this factory. With manual labor almost eliminated, they are still mainly responsible for design, monitoring, and machine maintenance work.

Because of the existence of this super factory, the industrial capacity of the Noah has risen more than 20 times than it was at the beginning!

To use a concrete analogy, if you want to produce 200,000 cutting robots, with the industrial capacity of the moon base at the beginning, it would take at least a year, but now, it can easily be done in less than half a month!

This is a great leap forward in strength, the fruit of the wisdom and sweat of all mankind!

With such an industrial capacity, it also gives the green light to all kinds of scientific experiments. Scientists can enjoy the imagination of the sky, do not have to worry about the problem of industrial capacity.

The resources are there, the energy is there, the capacity is there, and now it's science heaven!

Although this factory can be spread bigger, but if it is spread further, the population may not be enough. Population has always been a very big shackle, the Noah only has more than 50,000 people, can not allocate more population to this large factory.

Oliver pondered as he continued to scroll down through the programs presented to him, he had a large number of reports to review and approve every day.

"Research on new superconducting materials ... approved!"

"Research on new space shuttle ... approved!"

"The manufacture of the Large Hadron Collider ... approved!"

A series of programs were approved, and he was really dizzy from looking at them.

To be honest, there is no such thing as "cheating funds" in the spacecraft now, and many reports have been reviewed many times by major scientists, so he just needs to keep approving them.

But in a responsible manner, Oliver still insisted on reading one by one. He must know the progress of technology throughout the new human civilization, in order to comfortably control the overall situation. Otherwise, even the civilization has developed to which step do not know, he still as a fart leadership?

There is nothing more headache and joy than the major labs' press conferences, sometimes two or three a day in this era of technological spurt, and he is always invited to attend. But not to participate and can not, he is busy ah!

It was in the afternoon of this day.

"... This new aluminum-air battery, with an energy density 40 times that of ordinary lithium batteries, has greatly filled the gap in the materials world. From now on, we no longer worry about the lack of battery capacity!"

This is a new energy battery launch, high-energy batteries have been the direction of many scientists research. Batteries, whether for weapons or daily life are of great use.

"As we all know, the density of the previous lithium battery is 200wh/Kg, if placed in the car, the vehicle range of about 480 kilometers, and the life is very short, three or four years need to be replaced."

"But the energy density of this new aluminum-air battery is 8100Wh/Kg, and the range can reach 19,200 kilometers! The service life is more than ten years, and it can be used even longer ..."

On the stage was physicist Felix, who at this moment was beaming and saying to the many scientists below, "So once the mass production of the new aluminum-air battery is achieved, the traditional lithium battery can be eliminated!"

This gentleman from England rarely had such an expression, and was obviously in a state of extreme excitement.
