Chapter 712 Energy Freedom
"Academician Xu, please go ahead."
Gao Mi had no objection to Xu You's proposal and asked seriously.
"I hope that the threshold for limb regeneration technology and immortality technology can be lowered. Some people did not complete the limb regeneration experiment because their physical fitness did not meet the standards, which made us feel very sorry. I think we can find a way to improve their physical fitness, resistance, immunity, etc., so that they can better accept the corresponding treatment."
"Okay, Academician Xu, I understand."
"The same is true for the immortality project. The threshold for immortality technology is too high for people with average physical fitness. Many scientists are not like me, who also have top physical fitness. This may sound a bit unfair, but when we face more powerful alien civilizations, we need these great people to have a longer lifespan to help us build a more powerful blue planet civilization. Professor Gao, do you think this is the truth?"
Xu You's words were well-reasoned and Gao Mi had to be convinced.
"Yes, this is indeed the best way. Academician Xu, please rest assured that I have remembered all of this and will do my best to break through these technologies."
…
In the following period, all technologies related to the transformation of the lunar space station progressed very smoothly.
In the field of cell-based artificial meat, Gao Mi's team has made a very significant technological breakthrough and successfully produced artificial meat that can be efficiently mass-produced and tastes no worse than ordinary meat.
Xu You did contribute some key technologies, but the main achievements were made by Gao Mi and his team members.
This time, Gao Mi did not let Xu You down and completed the task assigned by Xu You very well.
Research on underground shelters on the moon has also made substantial breakthroughs.
In the Blue Star's experimental base, the construction of some underground shelters has been completed, which is used to test the actual use of the shelters.
On this day, Xu You took some time out and took Lu Zhiyao, Lin Shi and others to visit the underground shelter.
Except for the lack of an artificial gravity system, this place basically follows the design plan of the lunar shelter, and even the number of floors is exactly six.
"Academician Xu, this is the laboratory of our underground shelter."
The staff introduced the location of the underground shelter to Xu You and others. If the specific location had not been pointed out, they would not have found any trace of the underground shelter.
This is also a detail that Xu You deliberately emphasized when he first designed the underground shelter.
When operating in space, we must not let the existence of underground shelters on the moon be exposed too easily, which can protect the safety of all mankind to the greatest extent.
"But how do we get in?" Lin Shi asked.
The staff member smiled slightly, operated the remote control, and pressed a button. Then the exit of the underground shelter was slowly revealed.
"I see. This is an entrance and exit designed with a mechanism. But it is really well made here. There is no trace of an entrance or exit from the outside."
Lin Shi marveled at the exquisite design of the entrance and exit here. She leaned over to take a look, but still could not figure out the principle behind it.
"After the entrance is closed, the mechanism will automatically merge the nearby sand and soil with the surroundings. After just a few minutes, no trace will be found. Because the underground shelter does not need air from the ground, there is no exhaust hole, so it is difficult to find the existence of the underground shelter from above..."
While Xu You explained the principle to Lin Shi, he led everyone downstairs.
After going deep underground, no one felt depressed at all.
There is sufficient lighting in the underground shelter, and the light source used is simulated fluorescent light, making the light appear very soft.
With the smooth air circulation system, there is no feeling of crampedness or oppression underground. It may even feel more comfortable than on the ground.
At this time, several people finally arrived at the first underground floor.
It is said to be the first underground floor, but in fact it is marked in the corridor as "the sixth floor".
This is the arrangement of floors that Xu You dreamed of in his dream underground on the moon.
Xu You didn't know why the floors had to be arranged in this way, but Xu You finally insisted on using this floor rehearsal method.
Everyone also noticed this detail, and Lin Shi asked again:
"How come when I just got down to the first floor, it says on the corridor that it's the sixth floor? Where did the first five floors go?"
"It can be understood that this is not underground, but is arranged according to the normal ground arrangement. In this case, this is the top floor." Xu You said.
"In fact, it can be understood this way. The various designs of the underground shelter are intended to prevent people from realizing that this is an underground shelter. If the underground floors are arranged according to the normal order, with the first underground floor at the top, it will always give people a feeling of being underground, and people will subconsciously have an invisible sense of oppression."
Lu Zhiyao expressed her thoughts on this design, and after listening to her, Xu You also felt that this might be the final answer.
After arriving at the sixth floor, the staff led everyone into a room for a tour.
After entering
"The room is so bright even before the lights are on. The air inside is also very fresh. I can't feel the air flowing, but I can still smell the sweetness of the air."
The windows of the underground shelter are specially designed to simulate the effect of sunlight, and at night, they can also simulate the visual effects of moonlight and darkness.
After learning about the processing effect, Lin Shi couldn't help but admire it.
"But if every room is designed like this, the amount of electricity consumed would be enormous. Wouldn't that be a bit too wasteful?"
Hearing Lin Shi's question, Xu You answered first:
"Indeed, this kind of electricity consumption is not low, but in the era of controlled nuclear fusion, the cost of electricity is actually very low. As long as we can build an then in theory we can use electricity to our heart's content. This energy will be enough for humans to use for tens of thousands of years."
Controlled nuclear fusion combined with superconducting technology has allowed mankind to enter a new energy era, and they will no longer feel anxious about energy issues.
