The Era of Great Construction (1)

When more and more people ignited their fighting spirit, Jack decisively announced the opening of the food transformation plan.

"I announce that the food transformation plan is officially launched!"

The machine turns and the motor roars. This is a unique movement belonging to the era of great construction. Many people took a breath in their hearts, gritted their teeth, resisted the grief in their hearts, and devoted themselves to work.

If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence!

A labor force of 50,000 people is only equivalent to a medium-sized small town according to general conditions. But with 50,000 high-quality talents, coupled with all kinds of automated machinery, the productivity can be compared to that of a small country!

Many scientific experiments were forcibly stopped, freeing up not only manpower but also electricity. For example, a large hadron collider has a power of about 120,000 kilowatts, which is too big, cut it off! A supercomputer consumes 20,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, and there are dozens or hundreds of them. There are too many, and half of them will be cut off directly!

There are many miscellaneous experiments like this, such as research on missiles, chemistry, and physics. As long as they are not highly related to agricultural development, they will either be cut off or put on hold. Although scientific experiments are also very important, compared with the food crisis, they can only stand behind.

There is also a small episode here. The previous base officials accidentally did a good deed!

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even the "noble" moon base is no exception. In fact, every five or six years, there will be an era of large-scale construction here, and the core reason is the political needs of upper-level officials.

After so many years, the base has become bigger and bigger, and more and more things have been built. There are so many trillions of dollars sent by so many local tyrants every year.

If you can't spend it, it means that you don't have enough ability, and political points will be deducted! Some originally useless facilities will be built because of "performance requirements". These face projects and image projects are still acceptable in quality, and they are now in use!

The extra factories and nuclear power plants were almost useless in the past, but now it is different. When Jack saw these abandoned equipment for many years, he almost jumped up excitedly . Every time there is one more, there is more power, how can it be said that it is useless?

Everyone was divided into eighteen brigades, and each brigade was divided into several working groups. The construction this time is not for political achievements, but for the survival of all human beings!

According to the plan formulated at the meeting, everyone has a suitable job, and the food rationing system is implemented for all staff. The food is not good, but they are full. Because food is too precious to be wasted!

Planned economy, equal distribution, everyone eats a big pot, as for wages, there is no cent... The original dollar system has long been abandoned, which seems to be a retrogression in the system, but judging from the current situation, it seems that the best choice.

We share weal and woe, we share weal and woe, 50,000 people are actually not many, and we can plan to the point. As for the motivation to work, death threats alone can survive. If you don't work, everyone will starve to death!

To be honest, Jack has little experience in managing this kind of work. This was too busy for him. When he first got started, he was rushing around to rush to the market, and almost made a mistake in the middle. Fortunately, superhumans have high physical fitness, and they can stand it without rest for a long time. In addition, his learning ability is relatively strong, and he has a small talent in this area. After a few days, he has gradually gotten used to it, and the base has begun to operate in an orderly manner.

Now, he has to deal with dozens of administrative orders every day, hold seven or eight meetings, large and small, and patrol around to reassure people. He is so busy that he has to work 18 hours a day. There is a sense of fullness in my heart.

At this moment, Jack is taking a high-speed train to the "uranium resource mining team".

The "uranium resource mining team" is one of the most important production teams among the 18 teams, and its main work site is the uranium mine less than 100 kilometers away from the base.

The available mining capacity of this uranium mine is about 80,000 tons, and it is also a first-class large mine on the earth. 70% of the electricity in the base is supplied by nuclear power plants. Therefore, this uranium mine is the lifeblood of the entire base, so it must not be careless!

The environment on the moon is very harsh. The gravity is only one-sixth of that of the earth. At night, it is often minus 180 degrees, but in the daytime it reaches minus 120 degrees. Scientists have specially designed a special mining technology for thirty years.

The temperature difference here is too large. Under the expansion of heat and contraction of cold, some shallow mineral rocks are quite fragile, and they are easily broken when moved, which greatly simplifies the collection of minerals. Therefore, scientists have designed a highly automated mining vehicle for mining.

This kind of mining vehicle is a bit like a combination of a ground drilling machine and an excavator. It is very huge, with a height of 20 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a five or six-story building! When mining, the ore is first crushed with a drill bit, and then shoveled onto the vehicle body with a mechanical shovel. It looks very complicated to operate in groups of two.

These ores not only contain uranium resources, but also a large amount of non-ferrous metals and other resources. Anyway, they are all shipped back together for the factory to process.

Of course, sometimes you encounter rocks that are too hard, then use the "cannon mining" method to directly blast the ore out with bombs. The combination of the two methods greatly speeds up the mining efficiency.

Don't think that there is no air on the moon, so you can't hear a little sound. Sound is not necessarily transmitted by air, and the earth, machinery, etc. can be the medium of transmission. Through these media, the sound can still reach the ear.

Jack felt the earth shaking from a long distance, and there was a strange sound like "dong dong dong" drumming, which sounded a little weak, but it was shocking.

When he arrived at the inspection point, a group of more than a dozen people just walked out of the mine and went into the house to rest. They took off their spacesuits and gasped heavily. According to regulations, after working for 4 hours, absentees will get 1 hour of rest time.

Although it is said that there is no need for manual mining, the heavy spacesuit and complicated operations have also brought a lot of trouble to the operation. It can be said that mining is not only mental work, but also physical work.

When one of the absentees saw Jack, he was taken aback suddenly, and hurried over. He took off his helmet, revealing a young face.

This is probably a twenty-year-old black guy. He looked at Jack and said with some doubts: "You...you are...Captain Jack?"

"Yes! You have worked hard." Jack smiled and nodded irrefutably.

"Ah! Everyone, come quickly!" The black boy suddenly shouted, "Captain Jack is here!" He still can't speak Chinese, and he spoke English that he was not very proficient in, gesticulating and shouting.

There was something like this a few days ago, people were curious about things like superhumans, perfect primes, and alien spaceships. Some doubted, some did not believe, and some people asked him if the life span of a thousand years was real, and Jack answered them all.

When they got an affirmative answer, a kind of hopeful light burst out in their eyes. If the perfect element is used, the life span of all human beings can be extended by ten times, that would be great... Although the current technological level is not up to the standard, it still gives everyone a hope!

But this time it was a little different. After hearing this, a large group of elders immediately surrounded him, with reverence in their eyes, and he felt that something was wrong.

"Captain Jack...Amen...Savior...Son of God..."

Everyone talked in a hurry, some people hesitated, and they were not even proficient in the language. But Jack could see that this was not a flattery, but a sincere compliment.

It took me a long time to realize that these absenteeism is because they ate vegetables, so they are so happy.

Since they came to the moon, they have been eating high-energy compressed food. This kind of food is a bit like jelly, full of fat, sugar and protein. It is actually not bad in nutrition, but the taste is really not good. If you eat too much, you will get tired. Very, but there is no way, I can't starve to death.

Just yesterday, because of the unified food supply, everyone was given a cabbage, so I would like to express my gratitude to Jack.

Just eating a cabbage... so happy...
