Chapter 478: The beginning of contradictions

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.

Simply blind.

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 pulled, 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. The materials on one side are accumulated while the 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 not have been good 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, the production line is so...

“It’s quite artistic!

“It’s 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 leader 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 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.

But the head of state can't personally start another production line. If he has nothing to do, can he just command like crazy?

This is because Shen Guang is the superior in reality, Qiu Qinghong has to shut up.

If there are two players of equal status, the head of state player is afraid that he can't bear it.

He will definitely keep marking on the map and type out guidance and suggestions.

And the head of state player is justified, I am the head of state, why can't I command you?

Not to mention those head of state players who are better at playing this kind of game. Seeing the governor put out a terrible production line, it is difficult to control themselves from talking.

But the governor must not accept it: If you can do it, you go ahead!

At the beginning, you had to choose the head of state.

You just talk there, and then I do all the dirty work, why?

Unconsciously, the contradiction arises.

Qiu Qinghong has vaguely realized that if two players play this game, I am afraid that a far more intense quarrel will break out than this time.

But... what can I do? This seems to be part of the core gameplay of "Star Plan".

He was vaguely worried about this game, but seeing that Shen Guangzheng was having fun, he was too embarrassed to remind him.

Time passed by.

Although the first target was not met, the problem was not too big.

After all, there was no reference data when setting this target, so Qiu Qinghong just set it casually.

Although it did not meet the target, it seems that the silicon-based life on this comet has developed well.

So as a leader, Qiu Qinghong naturally did not choose to "judge the Archon", but forgave the Archon and continued to build.

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?

"Is the pointer in the upper right corner rising? "

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

As technology was continuously unlocked, the information column in the upper right corner began to become more and more complicated.

But generally speaking, it was some unimportant information. In addition to the output, reserves, power generation, and time of various resources, there were also data such as environmental temperature and humidity.

A lot of data was useless because there was no change at all.

Take the temperature for example. After the most basic technology was unlocked, this thing could be checked, but it was always around minus 50 degrees.

At first, there were slight fluctuations, and then it entered a period of stability.

Qiu Qinghong looked at the temperature data and found that there seemed to be no particularly obvious changes compared to the beginning.

"You didn't see a significant increase, right?

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

"After all, in order to fight the severe cold later, we also prepared equipment specifically for heating. ”

However, he glanced at Wei Chengjie who was smiling but not saying anything, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Could it be that…

“Hey! That’s right!

“This temperature rise is actually very abnormal!

“Oh, Mr. Shen, we made a mistake!”

Shen Guang didn’t quite understand at this time: “How did we make a mistake?”

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

Originally, Qiu Qinghong didn’t think too much. When he saw the temperature fluctuate, he thought it was caused by the temperature of industrial production.

But at this time, he 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 is unreasonable in itself!

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

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

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

"Although the closer we are to a star, the higher the temperature, don't forget two points: First, we are inside the nucleus of a comet, not on the outer surface of a comet, where the temperature is relatively stable; second, there are a lot of ice, dry ice, dust, methane and other things on the surface of a comet, with ice and dry ice being the most.

"That's why comets have tails.

"When moving toward a star, these ices will sublimate and become long tails, but it's also because of their sublimation that they will take away some of the heat.

"So, the temperature hasn't changed much, but it means we are approaching a star..."

Shen Guang was speechless on the spot: "Doesn't that mean we've completely made a mistake in the technology tree? Next, we should prepare for high heat instead of severe cold?"

Qiu Qinghong nodded awkwardly: "Yes... I'll change the plan now."

The situation suddenly became awkward.

The original technology was prepared for severe cold, but now it's all useless.

Although there are some technologies that can cope with both extreme cold and extreme heat, such technologies consume more resources and cannot be developed in the short term.

So if we want to change direction at this time, time becomes urgent and there is a clear gap in various resources.

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

"If we go in the wrong direction, won't all our previous work be in vain?

"You said you didn't have anything to do anyway, why do you need others to remind you of this kind of thing?

"If no one reminded me, I'm afraid that by the time the temperature here rises significantly, it will be too late! Although it may be too late now."

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