Chapter 1481: 1369: Feige Agriculture
At 9:30 in the morning, the number of viewers in the livestream is growing, now exceeding 5 billion and quickly approaching the 10 billion mark!
Not only is the livestream bustling, but the city outside is also getting exceptionally noisy, with constant clamor ringing out.
“Ah, this is the power of Boss Ke!” In the eting room, Cloud Tower’s Druid hugged his arms and sighed, “Who else but Boss Ke can bring such change to the hub?”
“Indeed, only Boss Ke,” Pri Minister Cao Cao agreed.
“But we also need to strive to help Boss Ke strengthen his power,” said Zhong Feng.
In earlier years, Zhong Feng even harbored a competitive spirit against Su Yu since back then he had state resources to back him up. How could a lone Su Yu possibly outcompete him?
But soon, he was left far behind by Su Yu, unable to catch up.
Now, of course, he has completely lost any competitive thoughts, holding only admiration in his heart.
Although he doesn’t say it out loud, Zhong Feng’s admiration for Su Yu can undoubtedly rank among the top few Blue Star high-level cultivators.
“Yes, we should do our utmost to help Boss Ke strengthen his power,” Cloud Tower’s Druid agreed, “Everyone knows that the stronger Boss Ke is, the higher our status becos. Besides, Blue Star’s future is almost a bright path forward, and we just need to follow the route laid out by Boss Ke.”
The route planned by Su Yu is, of course, to massively plant crops on Blue Star, or rather, in the Solar System.
So, Cloud Tower’s Druid continued, “There are still half an hour left before the eting starts, so let’s discuss the insights and reflections from the tour we just had.”
“Hmm.”
“Alright.”
Cloud Tower’s Druid first looked at Alyssa, “Your Majesty Empress, why don’t you start talking?”
The highest status in the eting room is not the old Cloud Tower’s Druid himself, nor Pri Minister Cao Cao or Emperor Qin Shi Huang, but Alyssa, Tina, Morning Star, and Xu Xiaotian, the four confidantes of Su Yu.
To express insights, they must first start with the highest status.
“Alright,” Alyssa did not refuse, elegantly saying, “To talk about the greatest insight, it’s still their advanced planting thods. No, perhaps calling it production thods is more appropriate…”
Alyssa first reviewed the content they saw during the tour.
They just returned from the 300-400 star zones.
But it wasn’t as they thought.
They originally thought these star zones, located on the inner side of the habitable zone and closer to the star, should receive intense stellar illumination. The side of the city facing the star should also have extre temperatures, with crops thriving under the scorching starlight.
However, that wasn’t the case.
Their first stop was zone 372, an area comprised of over 2,000 space cities for planting staple crops.
However, in these cities, they saw no starlight at all.
All they saw were artificial light sources spread throughout the city, and it was pitch black outside, even in the direction of the star.
Since stars transfer heat outward via radiation, no light also ans that the star cannot directly transmit energy to this star zone.
They later learned that all the energy radiated from the star had been monopolized by the “Dyson Sphere System.”
The “Dyson Sphere System” is essentially a massive energy station covering the surface of the star.
The Holy Silver Man wrapped the entire star in solar panels, absorbing all the energy the star radiated and then transmitting it to various star zones as needed.
Because of this, it was pitch black in the star’s direction outside.
In neighboring star systems, people couldn’t even see the star.
Of course, “Dyson Sphere System” is what the Blue Star People call it; the Holy Silver Man calls it the “Dylan Nohn System.”
Apart from the “Dyson Sphere System,” Feegg Hub also has many other ways of obtaining energy, such as light nuclear fusion, heavy nuclear fusion, matter-antimatter annihilation… and so on.
In addition to these, there are physical thods, such as directly extracting energy from the star’s core.
All these thods can obtain massive amounts of energy, and the “Dyson Sphere System” is the one that least consus.
The energy production departnts of the Feegg Hub are basically gathered around the star, less than 0.1 AU from the star. (The distance from zone 1 to the star is defined as 1 Astronomical Unit by the Holy Silver Man.) Besides the “Dyson Sphere System,” those fusion power plants and antimatter annihilation power plants are also there.
Another 0.6 AU outward are the agricultural star zones 300—400.
Because they are close to the energy production departnts, the energy transmission cost is cheap, so these star zones mainly produce grain.
The way the Holy Silver Man cultivates crops is not like the Blue Star People who farm, but they are all grain factories.
In space cities in zone 372, a patch of grain factories is built.
Each of these grain factories covers tens of square kiloters, nearly a hundred ters high, and the entire factory is covered with a layer of white mbrane, making the entire city appear white.
Inside the factory, there are rows of racks.
Grain crops grow entirely on these racks, with rows of colorful spotlights installed on them.
These spotlights emit different colors of light onto the crops, and after so ti, the color of the spotlights will change.
It is said that these lights, after scientific research and experints, summarize the light that crops need to grow.
By matching different colors and rotating periodically, these crops can grow at the fastest rate.
According to relevant experts, suitable light with enough nutrients can accelerate the crop growth cycle by about 35%-50%.
Each rack in the factory stands over a hundred ters high, with crops neatly arranged on them.
Nurous work robots shuttle among them, taking care of planting, real-ti monitoring, harvesting, and all tasks.
According to the factory manager, there are now no sentient beings involved in the grain factory; all tasks are handled by work robots.
The grain factory has long realized full automation, and everything from energy supply to raw seed procurent and fault repairs has been fully automated.
The hub residents need not do anything except wait for the grain to be produced by the factory.
…
After visiting the grain factory, every Blue Star cultivator was greatly moved.
At this mont, Alyssa said, “This kind of grain factory is entirely different from our agricultural thods, whether in production efficiency, energy consumption control, production cost… every aspect is worth learning from.
What Blue Whale said is right, seeing is really believing.”
Cat Morning Star’s whiskers twitched, adding, “It feels like we Druids don’t need to promote crop growth; we have no room to play in this kind of agriculture.”
Sky Dragon said seriously, “However, our only problem should be a ‘lack of money.’
Whether it’s the Dyson Sphere System, planting factories, or space cities, we can achieve them in the Solar System.
But without money, without investnt, even if we have technology, it’s still hard for a skillful housewife to cook without rice.”
“Alas, that’s also true.”
“Indeed, being without money is a big problem.”
Inside the eting room, everyone kept sighing.
