"Nuclear power has such high energy density..." Lu Yuan sighed inwardly.
Currently, Cangyuan's power generation only exceeds 1 megawatt during peak hours, yet a battery the size of an electric water heater can generate power at 2 megawatts for 50 years!
And this isn't even a true nuclear reactor; industrial-grade fusion reactors used for grid power generation are at least 1000 megawatts, which is GW level!
What interested Lu Yuan more, however, was the small cold fusion battery in the store that could only be used for three months.
Its 3.5-liter volume could easily fit into a power armor's battery pack, and its power generation capacity was significantly higher than the metal hydride battery packs currently used by the power armor.
Higher power armor generation capacity meant supporting more combat subsystems.
Including energy-intensive individual directed-energy weapons, such as handheld railguns, particle accelerators, laser cannons, and plasma jet cannons.
Of course, the drawback of both batteries was that they were relatively expensive.
Due to the existence of the scanner, obtaining the physical small cold fusion battery was equivalent to Lu Yuan getting a complete set of engineering blueprints, and at the same time, based on the level of his Scholars, he could obtain all or part of the underlying technology.
However, the current problem with cold fusion batteries was the lack of Helium-3 fuel; even with blueprints, they couldn't be built.
This severely limited the cost-effectiveness of purchasing it.
"I need to find a way to take a look at those two moons as soon as possible to see if there's any Helium-3. This is a very important strategic resource for the foreseeable future..."
Relatively speaking, the more cost-effective option was definitely the 【golden age Civilization Ruin Coordinate】 priced at 120 points.
The words "golden age" guaranteed its value.
However, no one knew how far away this resource point was or how many dangers were hidden along the way.
In short, it was a difficult choice!
"Let's stick to the previous plan and proceed step by step."
After some thought, Lu Yuan purchased the 【Outer Space Resource Point Coordinate】 worth 60 Exchange Vouchers and the 【Small Blind Box】 worth 40 Exchange Vouchers.
Current Exchange Vouchers remaining: 33 points.
Open!
Good luck!
The second outer space resource point was located in Li Star's geosynchronous orbit, 35300 kilometers from the ground, still within the spaceplane's range.
Moreover, the system generously provided the target name directly.
【Cangyuan industrial ship】!
The word "Industrial" immediately sparked endless imagination in Lu Yuan, while "Ship" meant it was a large spacecraft!
A real spacecraft!
No wonder the last airdrop pod only contained kits for developing agriculture; it turned out industry and agriculture were packaged and sent separately.
What a big gift package!
Lu Yuan couldn't wait to send a message to Chang Kong to get online immediately and launch the spaceplane!
The resource point was clearly a huge profit; next was the blind box.
【Congratulations! You have obtained a Luxury Personal Care Kit!】
【The care kit contains various nutritional supplements, first-aid supplies, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and special medicines for various diseases, helping you become more vibrant and energetic! Enjoy nights filled with song and revelry!】
Lu Yuan: "...F*ck!"
Is this a scam?!
Players can heal by lying in the hibernation pod, so what's the point of me needing care? Besides, I'm already very vibrant and energetic! How is this different from a pedicure kit?!
Seeing the bottles and jars teleported before him, Lu Yuan got a headache.
Refund!
"Alright, alright, calm down..."
He tried to calm his mood, his gaze finally locking onto a jar of medicine.
The label on that jar of medicine read "Special Medicine for Cancer, widely applicable to all stages."
It seemed that for humans of the golden age, treating cancer, even terminal cancer, was as simple as treating a cold.
Hmm... alright, it's not entirely useless.
Lu Yuan looked up at the sun outside the window, which was showering down large amounts of ultraviolet radiation, and his thoughts shifted slightly.
Something worthless to oneself might be very precious to others.
These medicines might play a big role in the future.
After dealing with the task rewards, Lu Yuan began planning future development strategies.
Currently, Cangyuan's productivity has made a complete leap. If they produce solar panels at full capacity, they can produce 400 square meters a day, increasing power generation by 1600 kilowatt-hours.
Producing at this rate for a month, the increased power generation capacity would be equivalent to one cold fusion battery.
Not to mention that productivity will continue to grow afterwards.
When there is sufficiently high productivity, enough space, and a bright enough sun overhead, the advantages of solar power generation will become apparent.
It doesn't require fuel replenishment!
For this reason, although Lu Yuan has already recovered nuclear power technology, he does not intend to abandon the entire photovoltaic industry because of it.
In the future, solar power stations in space covering thousands or even tens of thousands of square kilometers will definitely not be inferior to nuclear power in terms of generation capacity, and their maintenance costs will be much lower.
Not to mention Dyson swarms, Dyson spheres, and the like; that's stellar-level power generation!
Based on the actual situation, he formulated a "Peacetime Production Plan" on a weekly basis.
From now on, forty percent of the productivity will always be used for replicating production equipment and mining, which will roughly double productivity each week until the day comes to prepare for war again.
Twenty percent will be used for producing power generation panels.
Ensure the production of at least 15 player hibernation pods each week, as well as corresponding combat suits, basic weapons and equipment, and personal digital devices.
The remaining productivity will be allocated to production projects based on specific circumstances. This week, having just finished fighting, they will first replenish a batch of ammunition and drones. In the following weeks, they can produce power armor and reconnaissance aircraft while supporting Red Iron Town's soilless agriculture.
Of course, before that, players' earned honor points must first be converted into productivity to produce things they like.
The work was finally done.
As soon as Lu Yuan opened Steam, Caoyuan knocked and entered his office, seemingly there to report on a task.
He really couldn't rest for a moment!
"Reporting, Executive Officer!" Caoyuan stepped forward and saluted. "I have finished reading the logs left by the Stormwind Gang."
"Any findings?" Lu Yuan instantly switched to his desktop and assumed a steady, authoritative leadership posture.
Caoyuan: "Yes! The Stormwind Gang's high-ranking members often entered Oasis City disguised as merchants at the City Lord's invitation, but after entering the city, they didn't just meet the City Lord; they also met with smugglers privately."
"As expected." Lu Yuan nodded.
Caoyuan continued: "Those smugglers only care about money. As long as the payment is sufficient, they are willing to hide people right under the City Lord's nose, and we previously confiscated a good amount of Oasis Coins from the Stormwind Gang."
Lu Yuan glanced at Caoyuan.
"You mean, after our scouts parachute into the city, they should directly find these smugglers and pay for a hiding place?"
"Uh... I'm not really optimistic about this idea either, but it is indeed a possibility."
