Chapter 478 Conflicts begin to emerge


    Is a fully automatic production line good? Of course it is good, but it has certain pre-technical requirements, a large initial investment, and requires daily maintenance.


    The efficiency is indeed high, but the use is relatively single.


    And what about the cattle and horse workers? Although the efficiency is far less than that of the production line, it is easy to obtain, cheap, and with a little training, they can produce another thing.


    If we only look at it from the initial stage, Qiu Qinghong''s method is quite reasonable.


    First, they work hard to dig for fuel and store supplies to ensure that everyone has food and protection from the cold when the severe cold comes, and then everyone works together as cattle and horses.


    After the technology tree advances to a certain level, silicon-based labor will be gradually replaced with more advanced automated production machinery.


    "Okay, then let''s start working hard according to this goal!"


    After determining the general direction, Shen Guang can let go of his hands and feet.


    He photographed several mining machines in succession, mining different resources, and then pulled out several conveyor belts to transport the minerals to smelting furnaces or warehouses.


    Then put a batch of primary manufacturing machines to build various useful parts and buildings.


    "Huh? Why are these two lines still fighting?


    "Fly a line."


    Shen Guang directly built a bridge, allowing one conveyor belt to pass over another conveyor belt from above.


    Qiu Qinghong looked at the ongoing construction plans on his screen, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.


    I simply couldn''t see it.


    This is too rude!


    Let’s just say that this production line really can’t be planned better?


    The placement of this kind of game production line is still very particular. It is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also affects efficiency.


    There is a speed limit for the conveyor belt to transport materials, so the farther the conveyor belt is stretched, the slower the transportation speed will be.


    Moreover, different production lines require several different raw materials for production, some are more and some are less. If the speed of the conveyor belt cannot be planned well, it is easy to cause jamming problems. Materials on one side are accumulated while materials on the other side are still delayed. Can''t deliver.


    What''s more, the clearer the production line is, the easier it will be to troubleshoot later.


    If it is a mess and many building units are mixed together, it will be tiring to smooth out the source of the production line.


    These are all lessons learned in blood.


    But Shen Guang obviously had no plan at all. He just placed lumps here and there, and then pulled a flying line when needed. There was no sense of beauty at all.


    Qiu Qinghong''s brain ached from watching it.


    It''s like drawing a few irregular curves at will among the otherwise neat lines in front of a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder.


    What torture.


    Qiu Qinghong actually wanted to say, had he known earlier that it would be bad for me to be the consul?


    I will definitely stand upright for you.


    But Mr. Shen took the initiative to play the role of consul, so there was nothing he could say.


    Qiu Qinghong held it in for a long time and said, "Mr. Shen, this production line is so...


    “It’s quite artistic!


    “This is very creative, practical, and very resource-saving.


    "With Mr. Shen here, this construction goal will definitely be easily achieved."


    Shen Guang was doubtful: "Really? I just put it casually. Then maybe good designs come from the heart."


    Qiu Qinghong nodded: "Yes, Mr. Shen and I have a good understanding."


    Construction activities continue.


    Qiu Qinghong found that as the head of state, he could actually intervene a little in the construction.


    To put it simply, it is remote control command.


    Although you can''t use it directly, you can speak or type.


    The game itself has a chat system. You can connect to the microphone or type directly to chat. Of course, you can also choose to block the other party''s speech.


    In addition, the head player can also put various marks on the map as reminders, which cannot be blocked.


    So Qiu Qinghong tried to provide guidance.


    After all, he really couldn''t stand this kind of unplanned construction.


    "Mr. Shen, look, this area here has a lot of mineral resources, whether it''s energy mines used for burning or mines used to feed silicon-based villains.


    “We can plan this as a major residential area.


    “On the one hand, it can ensure maximum heating, and on the other hand, it can also store enough food.


    “As for the iron ore and factory areas, they can be built farther away.


    “This way, even if an extreme disaster strikes, we can pull our people into shelters to maintain warmth and food.


    “As for this area, I think it can be reserved for industrial upgrading.


    "Hey, yes, Mr. Shen, if these two areas are farther apart, we have to leave room for the expansion of the industrial zone in advance."


    Qiu Qinghong warned carefully, but unexpectedly it still aroused Shen Guang''s disgust.


    "Okay, okay, Mr. Qiu, I have my own plans, you should mainly do your job well."


    Qiu Qinghong was helpless: "Okay, Mr. Shen."


    But in fact, this is how the game is designed, and the workload of the head of state and the consul is very different. The Archon is really non-stop and has something to do every second.


    Whether it is pulling up a production line or dealing with some emergency situations, operations are required.


    But the head of state is different. After the initial calculation and development goals are determined, there is very little he can do.


    Except for a few operations that must be carried out by the head of state, there is nothing to do at other times and can only watch the consul at work.


    Unfortunately, the head of state can''t personally start another production line. He has nothing to do, so he can only give crazy orders?


    This means that Shen Guang is his superior in reality, and Qiu Qinghong has to shut up.


    If it were two players of equal status, it would be impossible for the head player to hold back.


    I will definitely keep marking on the map, and then type out guidance and suggestions.


    And the head of state players are confident, I am the head of state, why can''t I command you?


    Not to mention those heads of state players who are better at playing this kind of game. Seeing the consul laying out a poor production line, it is difficult to control themselves and not speak.


    But the consul is definitely not convinced: you can do it!


    First of all, you have to choose the leader.


    You just talk, and then I do all the dirty work. Why?


    Unknowingly, conflicts arise.


    Qiu Qinghong has vaguely realized that if two players are allowed to play this game, a far more intense quarrel will break out than at this time.


    But...what can be done? This seems to be part of the core gameplay of "Star Project".


    He was vaguely worried about this game, but seeing that Shen Guang was having fun playing it, he felt embarrassed to remind him.


    Time passed by minute by minute.


    Although the target set for the first time was not achieved, the problem is not too big.


    After all, there was no reference data when setting this indicator, so Qiu Qinghong just set one at random.


    Although it did not meet the standard, it seems that the development of silicon-based life on this comet is not bad.


    Therefore, as the leader, Qiu Qinghong naturally did not choose to "judge the archon", but instead pardoned the archon and continued construction.


    Suddenly, an employee in the conference room seemed to realize something and said, "Hey, Mr. Shen, Mr. Qiu, why do I feel like something is wrong?


    "Did the pointer in the upper right corner go up?"


    Qiu Qinghong and Shen Guang were stunned for a moment, and each looked at the indicator in the upper right corner.


    As technology continues to be unlocked, the information field in the upper right corner begins to become more and more complex.


    However, it is generally less important information. In addition to the production, reserves, power generation, and time of various resources, there is also environmental temperature and humidity and other data.


    A lot of data is useless because no changes can be seen at all.


    Take the temperature as an example. After the most basic technology is unlocked, this thing can be checked, but it is always around minus 50 degrees.


    There were slight fluctuations at the beginning, and then it entered a period of stability.


    Qiu Qinghong looked at the temperature data and found that there didn''t seem to be any significant changes compared to the beginning.


    "You didn''t see any obvious increase, did you?


    “And this temperature is the ambient temperature. When the factory we build burns energy, it will also increase the surrounding ambient temperature.


    "After all, in order to combat the severe cold, we also prepared special heating equipment."


    However, he glanced at Wei Chengjie, who was smiling and saying nothing, and suddenly had a bad feeling.


    "Could it be that...


    "Hey! That''s right!


    “This rise in temperature is actually very abnormal!


    "Oh no, Mr. Shen, we made a mistake!"


    Shen Guang didn''t quite understand at this time: "What''s wrong?"


    Qiu Qinghong explained: "We are not moving away from the star now, but approaching it!"


    Qiu Qinghong didn''t think much about it at first. When he saw the temperature fluctuating, he thought it was caused by the temperature of industrial production.


    But then I suddenly realized: Without the construction of large-scale heating equipment, how could the energy in the factory area alone maintain such a high temperature?


    This itself is unreasonable!


    This shows that the comet is not moving away from the star, but approaching it!


    Shen Guang still didn''t understand: "But if we are approaching the star, shouldn''t the temperature rise rapidly?"


    Qiu Qinghong shook his head: "Of course not, Mr. Shen!


    "Although the closer to the star, the higher the temperature, but don''t forget two points: first, we are inside the comet core, not on the outer surface of the comet, and the temperature environment here is relatively stable; second, the comet is There is a lot of ice, dry ice, dust, methane and the like on the surface, with ice and dry ice being the most abundant.


    "That''s why comets have tails.


    “As they travel toward the star, these ices will sublimate and turn into a long comet tail, but also because of their sublimation, they will take away some of the heat.


    "So, the temperature hasn''t changed much, but it shows that we are getting closer to the star..."


    Shen Guang was speechless on the spot: "Doesn''t that mean that our technology tree is completely wrong? Next, we should be prepared to deal with high heat instead of severe cold??"


    Qiu Qinghong nodded awkwardly: "Yes...I will change my plan right now."


    The situation suddenly became awkward.


    The original technologies were all prepared for the severe cold, but now they are all unusable.


    Although there are some technologies that can cope with severe cold and heat at the same time, this technology consumes a lot of resources and cannot be developed in the short term.


    So if you want to turn around at this time, time becomes urgent instantly, and there are obvious gaps in various resources.


    Shen Guang sighed: "Mr. Qiu, you are the head of state, you can''t make mistakes on this kind of question!


    "The direction is wrong, isn''t all our work ahead in vain?


    "You said you have nothing to do, why do you have to be reminded of such a thing?


    "If someone hadn''t warned me, by the time the temperature here rises significantly, it would be too late! Although it may be too late now."


    Qiu Qinghong nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Mr. Shen, my question..."
