Chapter 330: Abundant Supplies

Yu Yifeng himself is too busy.

Seeing boxes of finished products being transported up by the elevator and the data in the table getting bigger and bigger, he has a wonderful pleasure like a miser.

Not only him, but every citizen of Noah is like this. Everyone can see the endless stream of robots transporting full cargoes.

These things are reported on TV or newspapers every day.

Although Noah was already full when it set off from Nix, it was limited to conventional and easily available materials, such as iron, copper, aluminum and the like.

Resources like gold, silver, platinum are always rare. They can be met by industry, but it is basically impossible to meet the needs of the people.

Nowadays, a large amount of precious resources are dumped on the ground like garbage. How can humans not be ecstatic? !

One day, a large amount of diamonds were suddenly discovered in the D3 area of ​​the planet. The quality was very good, even as big as peanuts!

These shiny things directly aroused the strong interest of women! Many researchers are studying diamond cutting machines enthusiastically and digging out data from the Earth period to process these high-quality diamonds.

As a result, more and more diamonds were mined, and each person could get hundreds of them. The women simply ignored them...

A few days later, a large amount of gold was discovered in a certain area!

The gold was made into hundreds of tons of gold bricks by the factory, and piled up in front of the government square and distributed in large quantities.

As a result, no one went to collect them...Only a few old people of the first generation looked at them with interest, touched the gold a few times, and then expressed a few words of emotion in their hearts.

The times...are changing too fast!

The wealth of the interstellar era is simply unimaginable for low-level civilizations. Gold is no longer popular now.

The generations that followed were born in extremely wealthy environments and have not experienced the Earth period. Although some people have studied traditional economics, they are only superficial. They have no way to understand the desire of Earthlings for gold...

The new discipline of "industrial economics" has long replaced the previous financial system.

So in the eyes of the generations that followed, gold is just a relatively rare industrial raw material, and many factories and laboratories are still very happy to stockpile these things.

Gold has high stability that cannot be replaced by other metals and is widely used in electronic products. Due to the high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of gold, it is also widely used in the aerospace field. Even a superalloy contains "gold".

At least gold is more useful than diamonds...

On this day, Yu Yifeng was personally visiting the resource reserve warehouse in Noah.

Such warehouses are distributed in every corner of Noah, and there are different safety management levels according to the different reserves.

Ordinary civilians can visit the conventional iron and aluminum warehouses through glass, and can also apply for material shares freely. Some toxic material warehouses require certain permissions.

Boxes of nanocarbon, fully adsorbed with helium-3, and trucks of rare metals... Seeing the material resources in the warehouse like a mountain of gold and silver, Yu Yifeng felt a sense of satisfaction and security.

This is... the wealth of the new human civilization!

Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was already smiling in his heart.

The last place he inspected was the "radioactive element reserve warehouse" with the highest safety level, where there were even soldiers with live ammunition guarding it in all directions!

A large number of robots came and went, transporting a new batch of uranium resources that had just arrived to the warehouse.

This is in the higher gravity area of ​​Noah. For safety reasons, the air inside is specially drained, almost in a vacuum state. Strict safety inspections are required for the entry and exit of humans or robots.

Everyone is wearing power armor, and several young assistants are on the side, constantly saying various data...

"We have found a large number of concentrated uranium mines in the A11 area of ​​this planet! The quality is very, very good... There are also a large number of heavy metals."

"Area A11 is the best mining area on the entire planet. A total of 17 important industrial elements have been discovered. These veins appear in batches, which is incredible!"

The young assistant is making some exaggerated gestures. After seeing so many things, he is in a state of extreme excitement. They can't do what Yu Yifeng did, without showing his emotions.

Almost everyone is deeply intoxicated by the wealth of civilization, as if they are all billionaires.

These young people have lived in a very wealthy environment since childhood and have no concept of money. But they have studied industrial economics, and from the difficulty of smelting and mining, they still know that some resources are rare and those are cheap.

So, they still have economic concepts.

After all, money is not equal to economy.

This staff member is named Xiao Yu. He is just 30 years old this year, but he has already graduated with a doctorate in advance and became one of Yu Yifeng's think tanks.

With the improvement of the social level of Noah, the education level of the new human civilization is getting higher and higher. University is already universal education, and the master's and doctoral degrees are higher education programs.

The doctorate degree is very difficult. For many people, even if a brain chip is installed and intelligence is improved, it is still difficult.

After all, reading still requires a certain talent...

In Noah, because of the influence of the cultural atmosphere, almost everyone lives and learns until they are old, and the "doctorate" degree has become a respectful title.

Graduating with a doctorate at the age of 30 is a great achievement...

Of course, there are some old acquaintances in this think tank, such as Dr. Rimbaud, Wang Yufan from the Propaganda Department, etc., all of whom are geniuses.

Xiao Yu is the youngest in the think tank. The addition of fresh blood shows that the new human civilization is booming and has not declined. This is a good thing!

"=We guess... these minerals may be because in the super ancient times, two planets collided violently and exposed the core of the earth..." Xiao Yu said excitedly, while imagining the scene of the planetary collision.

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yu Yifeng nodded.

So far, humans have not been able to destroy real planets!

It is too difficult to destroy planets... Even if a large number of nuclear bombs are used, only a little fur can be blown off.

However, billions of years ago, two planets with a mass of 100 trillion tons collided here, and in an instant, a huge amount of energy that humans could hardly look up to was released!

This energy tore the entire planet apart, exposing its most core and richest parts.

Then, under the action of billions of years of rotation, the broken core regained its spherical shape, but the original core was always exposed on the surface. Then... these minerals are cheap for human beings.

Of course, it cannot be said that they are cheap for free, but they are "gifted" to human beings.

Yu Yifeng imagined the scene of planetary collision and sighed in his heart, it would be great if human beings had such energy level.

This radioactive element warehouse is full of shelves, and more than half of the supplies are already loaded on them.

He walked a few steps forward and saw a piece of silvery white metal in the vast uranium hexafluoride. It is metal "plutonium". It is packaged in a plastic bottle and displayed separately on one side, exuding a charming metallic luster.

This metal is toxic to a certain extent!

Once on Earth, when the Japanese nuclear power plant leaked, there was such a news report: a pill-sized piece of plutonium is enough to poison 200 million people, 5 grams of plutonium is enough to poison all humans, and plutonium is 486 million times more toxic than arsenic.

Of course, this is just a rumor...

As long as you don't eat it directly, it won't poison you. Even if you touch it, it's no big deal, but it feels warm.

Plutonium, like uranium, is a good nuclear fission material. It can be used to generate electricity and can also be used to make high-power decay batteries.

Before small-scale nuclear fusion technology is developed, many human machines still need fission energy, so the excavation of uranium mines is essential.

"We have currently collected and purified one million tons of uranium-235... and sporadic associated plutonium elements." Xiao Yu looked at the plutonium block in his hand and explained with a smile.

The energy density of uranium is 2.5 million times that of coal, which means that this half warehouse alone is equivalent to the energy of 250 billion tons of coal! (China consumes only 4 billion tons a year)

This is just a warehouse for humans...
