Chapter 16 The Era of Great Construction

As more and more people ignited their fighting spirit, Yu Yifeng decisively announced the start of the food transformation plan.

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

The machines turned and the motors roared. This is a unique movement belonging to the era of great construction. Many people held their breath, gritted their teeth, held back the grief in their hearts, and threw themselves into the work.

Either break out in silence or perish in silence!

Under normal circumstances, a labor force of 50,000 people is only equivalent to a medium-sized town. But 50,000 high-quality talents, plus a variety of automated machinery, the productivity can be comparable to that of a small country!

Many scientific experiments were forced to stop, which not only freed up 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 degrees of electricity per hour, and there are dozens or hundreds of them. It's too much, just cut it off in half!

There are many similar miscellaneous experiments, such as missile research, chemistry research, and physics research. As long as they are not highly relevant to agricultural development, they will either be cut off or shelved. Although scientific experiments are also very important, they can only take a back seat compared to the food crisis.

There is also a little episode here. The previous officials of the base accidentally did a good thing!

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

Over the years, the base has become larger and larger, and more and more things have been built. Every year, there are so many local tyrants sending trillions of dollars, which can't be spent. What should I do?

If I can't spend it, it means that I am not capable enough, and I will lose political points! Some facilities that were originally useless will be built because of "political performance needs". These face projects and image projects are still good in quality, and now they are just in use!

The extra factories and nuclear power plants were almost useless before, but now it is different. When Yu Yifeng saw these abandoned equipment for many years, he almost jumped up with excitement. Every extra one means more strength. How can it be said to be useless?

All people were divided into 18 teams, and each team was divided into several working groups. This construction is not for political achievements, but for the survival of all mankind!

According to the plan made at the meeting, everyone has a job suitable for them, and all personnel implement a food rationing system. The food is not good, but it is enough to fill the stomach. Because food is so precious, it cannot be wasted!

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

Share the joys and sorrows, share the hardships, 50,000 people are not many, and it can be planned to the point. As for the motivation to work, the threat of death alone can hold on. If you don’t work, you will starve to death!

To be honest, Yu Yifeng has no experience in management. This has kept him busy. When he first started, he was running around and almost made mistakes. Fortunately, superhumans have high physical fitness and can withstand long periods of time without rest. In addition, he has a strong learning ability and a little talent in this area. After a few days, he has gradually gotten the hang of it, and the base has begun to operate in an orderly manner.

Now, he has to handle dozens of administrative orders every day, hold seven or eight meetings of various sizes, and patrol everywhere to appease people. He is busy and exhausted, and has to work 18 hours a day, but seeing the base getting better day by day, he feels fulfilled.

At this moment, Yu Yifeng is taking a high-speed train to the "Uranium Resource Mining Group".

The "Uranium Resource Mining Group" is one of the most important production teams among the 18 teams, and its main work location is a uranium mine less than 100 kilometers away from the base.

The available mining volume of this uranium mine is about 80,000 tons, which is also a first-class mine on 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, and it cannot be sloppy!

The environment on the moon is very harsh, with gravity only one-sixth of that on Earth. It is often minus 180 degrees at night, but it reaches 120 degrees during the day. Scientists have specially designed a special mining technology in 30 years.

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

This mining vehicle is a bit like a combination of a drill and an excavator. It is very huge and is 20 meters high, equivalent to the height of five or six floors! When mining, the ore is first crushed with a drill bit, and then shoveled onto the vehicle body with a mechanical shovel. Two people work in a group, which looks very complicated.

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

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

Don't think that there is no air on the moon, so you can't hear any sound. Sound is not necessarily transmitted by air. Things like the earth and machinery can become transmission media. Through these media, the sound can still be transmitted to the ears.

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

When he rushed to 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 space suits and gasped for breath. According to regulations, after working for 4 hours, the miners will get 1 hour of rest time.

Although there is no need for manual mining, the bulky space suits and complicated operations also bring a lot of trouble to the operation. It can be said that mining is not only mental labor, but also physical labor.

One of the absentees was stunned when he saw Yu Yifeng, and ran over in a hurry. He took off his helmet and revealed a young face.

This was probably a twenty-year-old black guy. He looked at Yu Yifeng and said in confusion: "You...you are Captain Yu...Yu?"

"Yes! You have worked hard." Yu Yifeng smiled and nodded without denying.

"Ah! Come on, everyone!" The black guy suddenly shouted loudly, "Captain Yu...Yu is here!" He didn't know Chinese yet, and spoke English that was not very fluent, while gesturing and shouting.

There was such a thing a few days ago. People were curious about superhumans, perfect elements, alien spacecraft and the like. Some doubted, some didn't believe, and some asked him if a thousand years of life was true. Yu Yifeng answered them one by one.

When they got a positive answer, a ray of hope burst out in their eyes. If the perfect element was used, the life span of all humans would be extended tenfold. How great it would be... Although the current technological level is not up to standard, it at least gives everyone hope!

But this time it was a little different. A large group of men immediately surrounded him after hearing it, with respectful eyes flashing in their eyes. He felt something was wrong.

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

Everyone started talking at once, some people were hesitant, and the language was not even fluent. But Yu Yifeng could see that this was not A Yu's flattery, but a sincere compliment.

It took a long time to understand that these miners were so happy because they ate vegetables.

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 it really doesn't taste good. It's very sick after eating too much, but there is no way, you can't starve to death.

Just yesterday, because of the unified supply of food, everyone was given a cabbage, so I specially expressed my gratitude to Yu Yifeng.

Are you so happy to eat a cabbage...
