"Mayor, the output of the Heart of Wisdom is now close to stable. We have roughly tested the maturity period. From a seedling to maturity, it takes three months and ten days. The latest batch of fifty-three will take about ten days. , it’s ready for harvesting,” a person in charge of the wisdom tree production base stood next to Luo Yuan and said attentively.
"How many have been planted now!" Luo Yuan asked.
"267, this is already the maximum value. The higher the number, the longer the maturity period will be."
Although 267 is a small number, these wisdom trees are all eighth-level plants. Coupled with their own special characteristics, they require much more active energy than ordinary eighth-level creatures. They can make 267 wisdom trees in about three months. When the tree matures, the active energy it produces is already quite amazing.
Luo Yuan nodded noncommittally and walked quickly towards the heavily guarded building in front, followed by a group of people.
After discovering that the active energy generated by the energy core is effective for the growth of the wisdom tree.
Luo Yuan immediately expanded the scale of wisdom tree planting. For this purpose, he specially used an idle building to have it modified and reinforced.
Mature wisdom trees are naturally quite short compared to some mutant plants, but they are still dozens of meters tall. With a floor height of about three meters, it cannot support its normal growth. Fortunately, the building is basically modular construction, which is simple to construct and equally easy to dismantle.
After the renovation, the entire seventy-story super building was reduced to only four floors. Each floor is fifty meters high and lined with metal columns inside. In addition, there are wisdom trees growing next to each other. With their strong and thick trees and lush green branches and leaves, walking among them makes you feel as if you have entered a forest, which makes people feel refreshed.
Luo Yuan looked at each floor and quickly reached the top floor. Compared with the three floors below, there were not many wisdom trees here, only a few here and there. Most of the space was empty.
Not far away, a whole team of armed guards guarded a huge lead metal tank similar to a water storage tank. It was particularly eye-catching. It was ten meters high and nearly five meters in diameter. It was connected to a large number of pipes like a spider web. In every direction.
The energy core is placed here, which is the most important core part of the entire Wisdom Tree production base. Without the energy core, this production base will lose its meaning.
"In order to save active energy, we specially designed the transmission pipeline directly to the roots of the plants and carried out scientific management. This not only maximizes the utilization of every active energy, but also greatly reduces the occurrence of accidents. As of Currently, the accident-free safety record has reached 21 days.”
"Well done!" Luo Yuan finally praised him.
Hearing Luo Yuan's rare praise, the person in charge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to establish this wisdom tree production base, a lot of money has been paid. Especially in the early days, many staff members lost their lives by irritating the wisdom trees due to ignorance. As for harvesting, even more people had accidents.
In just over four months, 32 lives have been sacrificed here.
Fortunately, with the standardization of management, especially the application of specially customized harvesting equipment and the use of special laser cutting during harvesting, the number of deaths has plummeted, and accidents are now rare.
…
Before the inspection ended, Luo Yuan looked back again, and his heart surged at the wisdom tree. This wisdom tree production base has now become a powerful booster for the development of human science and technology!
The entire production base can provide about a thousand wisdom hearts every year, which can be made into potions that can be taken by two thousand people. Compared with the more than 100,000 scientific researchers in human beings today, this number is naturally pitifully small, let alone popularized by the whole people. , even if all researchers get a share, it is still far away.
But even with such a small amount, its driving force for the development of human science and technology is beyond imagination.
Although the time is still short, only a dozen days have passed since the first batch of wisdom potion was taken, but in these short ten days, human technology has made explosive breakthroughs. The results that emerged almost exceeded the total of the previous three months.
Just in the past few days, more than thirty Bosing factories have been reactivated; the first generation of practical quantum computers has been officially finalized and is ready for small batch production...
This is due to the fact that the time is too short, and the number of people taking it in the first batch is only about a hundred people. There is still greater potential that is far from being released.
In many industries, personal efforts and diligence can make up for the lack of talent, but in the field of scientific research, this does not work at all. Most scientific researchers do nothing throughout their lives. The gap between an ordinary scientific researcher and a great scientist is wider than the gap between a primary school student and a college student.
Moreover, with the advancement of human science and technology, especially after the 20th century, human beings have acquired more and more knowledge, deeper and deeper, and their branches have become thinner and thinner. Like before, knowledge spanned several fields. Generalists have become extinct. Many people only work in specific branches throughout their lives. There are very few scientific researchers across majors and fields.
This is not to become more professional, but because there is not enough energy and too much knowledge to learn at all.
Especially in the process of human beings deciphering Bosing technology, the updating of knowledge has become more frequent and intense. New results appear almost every few days, and new theories are supplemented or subverted every other month. It may be that The knowledge learned today will be outdated after just one month and needs to be relearned. Even the speed of knowledge updating exceeds the speed of learning.
Under this rapid technological leap, scientific research has become increasingly demanding on IQ. Without the ability to learn quickly and understand new knowledge concepts, it has been difficult to adapt to scientific research work. In fact, most of the Scientific researchers are somewhat unable to keep up with this trend.
If this situation continues, human technological progress will inevitably slow down. After all, the number of human researchers today is so pitiful that even the inheritance of civilization is somewhat reluctant, except for those who have just come into contact with it. The short-term technological explosion during the time of Bosing Technology will only become ineffective in the end.
The emergence of wisdom potion coincides with the fact that it allows human intelligence to improve beyond human limits, with efficient learning speed and lightning-sharp thinking. Even the mediocre scientific researchers have become no longer ordinary. It can be said that , almost every one of them is a super scientist, or has the potential to become a super scientist.
It has almost added a powerful booster to the development of human beings today!
… …
The cold wind howled from the ground, and the people from the engineering company dragged their tired bodies back to the spacecraft one after another.
The day's work is finally over.
Cui Weichuan ordered his captain to take inventory of the team's tools and report the damage to his superiors. Then he finally sat down in his seat. He took off his helmet and gasped for air. He didn't even have the appetite to eat.
After working for a day, I am not that physically tired. After all, it is no longer the same as before. Now the entire engineering company has thousands of engineering vehicles and countless types of engineering equipment. It is no longer purely manual labor when harvesting ice.
But after getting close to the giant beast, the depressing feeling of being out of breath made him particularly mentally exhausted. This was the effect of wearing protective clothing. If he didn't wear protective clothing, I'm afraid he would be like the rumor he heard before. faint.
"I really don't know what it's like to be among those who work on the backs of giant beasts?" Thinking of this, Cui Weichuan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
The lot their team drew was good, and they were responsible for cutting the purple horn thorns on the giant beast's legs. They said they were horn thorns, but in fact each one was six or seven meters long and four meters thick. They were densely covered with fine scales. It glows with a faint purple light, giving people a sense of horror when looking at it.
Moreover, this kind of horn thorn is incredibly hard. Ordinary mechanical cutting is not effective at all. In a few minutes, the gear has been smoothed out. Even high-power laser cutting is not easy to use. The best way is Grind slowly with high pressure water.
Although today's climate is severely cold, the water source required for high-pressure water cutting has become a problem, but there is a mobile nuclear power plant on the construction site with abundant energy, and obtaining water source only takes a little effort.
It's a pity that today, with 300 people in their squadron and 80 water cutting equipment, they only cut off five of the thinnest horn thorns. Fortunately, many horn thorns have been cut into half. By tomorrow, the number should be there A huge improvement.
"Squadron leader, you haven't eaten yet. I just got an extra portion here." At this time, Lao Lin's voice came from his ears.
"Ah, thank you, Lao Hu!" Cui Weichuan was not a newbie, so he didn't believe it was an extra. After taking it, he found that he was really hungry.
"Thank you, it's easy!" Old Lin Han said with a smile.
The meal is quite sumptuous. Just like lunch, there are three dishes in it, and the staple food is the first-class cactus steamed buns. He is from the south. Before the end of the world, all he ate was rice, but after eating it for several years, he had already gotten used to it.
And this kind of meal can be enjoyed when you are in the engineering team, but you don't have this kind of treatment when you are unemployed.
While eating, Lao Lin said: "Squadron Captain, I want to ask something from you!"
"Yeah!" Cui Weichuan hummed while eating.
"How long do you think our engineering company can continue to work? Is this project going to end and be disbanded again?" Lao Lin said worriedly.
"It's useless for you to ask me about this matter! It all depends on the decision from above!" Cui Weichuan said after swallowing his food, and then continued after thinking about it: "However, I estimate that the higher ups will not allow such a high unemployment rate. If this continues, and more and more spaceship manufacturing factories are operating now, even if they are disbanded, most of us will probably be absorbed into the factory!"
"Then can someone like me, who is uneducated and unskilled, be able to do it?" Old Lin just breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked worriedly.
"You can learn if you don't know it. No one is born with it. You don't look old either. You still have a long life!" Cui Weichuan comforted him. He was very optimistic. Today, there are only five or six million humans left in total. There are no more. Abundant human resources can be wasted. As long as society returns to normal, there is no need to worry about finding a job. It is just about the quality of the treatment.
"I'm already fifty-eight." Lao Lin said speechlessly.
"I really can't tell. I thought you were only forty years old." Cui Weichuan is telling the truth. Nowadays, humans generally do not look older. Although there is no official statistics on the average life span, it is obviously much higher than before the end of the world. many.
At this time, a group of twelve or thirteen-year-old children passed by. Old Lin was stunned for a while and then asked: "Does our company still recruit child labor?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is from the escort team." Cui Weichuan stopped him quickly, fearing that trouble would come out.
At a mobilization meeting before departure, as a middle-level leader of the company, he naturally participated in the meeting. He had seen these children at that time, and they were brought by the mayor's secretary himself, so he had a great background.
…
There is no doubt that these children are Luo Yuan's cheap children.
Due to their fusion bodies, their bodies had developed into teenagers and girls in less than a year. They emptied all the inventory of the two tutors early and began to study on their own.
With their current knowledge level, they are no worse than ordinary scientific researchers. They even far exceed it in terms of breadth of knowledge, but they are still inferior in depth.
However, considering their physical characteristics and the fact that they were far from mature mentally, Luo Yuan did not want them to enter society early, and sending them here this time was, on the one hand, an experience.
On the other hand, it is also to ensure the safety of workers.
This time we collected the corpse of the giant beast. Although we only collected some superficial parts such as scales, eyeballs, horn thorns, and nails, we cut some superficial flesh and blood at most, and did not go too deep into the inside of the giant beast, it was still quite dangerous. , after all, no one can guarantee that internal parasites will not emerge from the body.
Before coming, Luo Yuan took the time to conduct short-term training for them for a month. It must be said that these clones of his were born to be warriors. In just one month, they learned their sword skills. Even the will that is extremely difficult for ordinary people to gather is not difficult for them at all, and everything falls into place.
In the end, even Luo Yuan was a little jealous of their amazing talents.
Unfortunately, their interest is not here.
