Voyage of the Stars

As an astronomer, it is normal to not know the distribution of resources on Callisto. However, as the top officer of the Callisto base, Yue Yuan knew very well that the base already had information on the general resource distribution of Callisto long before the disaster occurred.

Callisto's atmosphere has a very thin outer layer of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen. Of course, it has all been blown away by the solar wind, and by the way, it has been heated from an icy planet with no geological movement to a planet with magma sprouting all over the ground.

This heating has not penetrated into the core. After a few years, when the surface cools down, its resources can be exploited. After all, it is a rocky satellite, and a large amount of silicate materials were not blown away with the atmosphere.

Callisto, which is still in a semi-magma state, is not incapable of mining resources. With current human technology, it is not a big problem to fish out magma that is more than 2,000 degrees Celsius, as long as some high-temperature-resistant hook shovels are specially built.

The problem is that if the magma is directly taken back and separated, the heavy metal content in the resulting product will be pitiful because the heavy metals will sink.

Fortunately, there are still many places that have cooled down. As long as you dig deeper, you can dig out heavy metal mines. The only certainty is that Callisto does not have large reserves of iron, nickel and other elements in its core, which is why it does not have a global magnetic field.

But, iron is the element with the largest reserves in the solar system. It is really found on almost every rocky planet. As long as you dig down and dig hard, you can always find iron ore. At most, the reserves are not abundant and the purity is not high. Without considering the economic cost, these are not problems.

As for oxygen, we need to build more plantations, cultivate some seeds in the base laboratory, and plant all the seeds that can be grown. With the addition of chemical preparation aids, there will be no problem at all.

Carbon dioxide is similar to various other gases. The next step will definitely be to carry out large-scale construction and emit industrial waste gas vigorously.

It can be said that Callisto ensures that humans do not have to worry about extinction due to resources and energy in the short term. Basically, if the nuclear fission fuel on Callisto is not used up, there will be no energy problems.

With the current nuclear fuel at the Callisto base, it will last 20 to 30 years without any problem.

So Yue Yuan's biggest headache is actually what happens next.

Where should mankind go from here?

How to go and how to follow.

Well, where to go is not the key, how to leave is the key issue.

"Hey, I'm so sad." Yue Yuan tugged at his hair. After coming out of the data center, he held several small meetings with different departments to determine and arrange the major construction matters, but he still kept thinking about it. Thinking about the future.

After finishing his work for the day, Yue Yuan returned to his residence. He looked at the time and found that it was half past eleven in the evening.

There is no longer a distinction between day and night on Callisto. Oh, there was no distinction between day and night before. It was just that it was always the day of Jupiter, and now it is always the night of the starry sky.

Therefore, Callisto's standard time still uses Earth time, and people have been accustomed to this for many years.

"Twelve thirty, it's early." Yue Yuan sat down on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling. He hadn't been so quiet alone for a long time.

In this environment, the kind figures of his parents could not help but emerge in his mind, as well as every detail of his life on earth.

Parents’ advice, friends’ jokes, and comrades’ calls.

For a moment, Yue Yuan's eyes gradually became moist. His memory was a little sudden and a little late, but it was only in this occasional leisure that he had time to remember everything he had lost.

Taking a deep breath, Yue Yuan closed his eyes tightly, locking this emotion deep into his heart.

After calming down, Yue Yuan opened the door, walked out of the temporary room, and glanced at the guard duty station from a distance. Although it was relatively dim, Yue Yuan's eyesight was very good and he still saw Zhu Pi Te who was bragging to the guard on duty in the duty room.

There were a few laughs from time to time, which seemed quite joyful. The voice was quite loud, but without listening carefully, Yue Yuan could guess what Zhu Pi was doing. He was just making fun of others with his discoveries, and then sharing his experiences on maintaining thick hair.

Yue Yuan still knows Zhu Pi Te very well after following him for so many years.

Originally, Yue Yuan came out to remind Zhu Pite that there was an important meeting to attend tomorrow, but seeing how happy he was, he didn't shout and went back to his room to sleep.

Tomorrow's conference is very important.

Because Yue Yuan wants to decide on the leadership of the Callisto base as well as the positions of various departments at tomorrow's meeting. Then there is the discussion of large-scale construction and how the surviving humans will proceed in the future.

It can be said that everything is a big event.

Especially the first thing.

In fact, Yue Yuan had considered this matter when he was still underground, but at that time people were still in various sadness and had illusions about the catastrophe, so it was too early to talk about this kind of thing. .

Yue Yuan knew very well that in that environment at that time, even he still had a strange fantasy that he would not believe unless he witnessed it with his own eyes. Therefore, after breaking out of the ground, he also had many powerful missiles launched into the inner orbit of the sun. Electromagnetic wave signals in order to expect miracles to happen.

From a rational point of view, this behavior is actually unnecessary, and the result is as expected. Except for the humans on Callisto, all other bases and even the earth have been sacrificed.

Everyone has determined this matter, and now that the living environment has improved, at least people know that they have survived for the time being. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to determine the leadership.

The base originally had a management model, and everyone agreed that the original leadership department was correct. However, in the current period of drastic changes, there is a huge difference between discussing it again and continuing to remain ambiguous without saying anything.

Even just repeating it is significant.

Of course, what Yue Yuan wants is not just to reiterate. He needs to use appropriate management methods based on the current situation to ensure that the survivors can unite as one and survive together in this thorny universe.

Today is different from the past. Lord Shang said: The way to govern the world is to follow the ancient laws of the country. It means that there is not only one way to govern the country. As long as it is beneficial to the country, it does not have to be rigidly adhere to ancient laws and systems.

Just adjust measures to local conditions.

Furthermore, Yue Yuan felt that Manyue Mei was a bit ambitious and could not allow her to lead the security department alone.

Yue Yuan felt that he could not pay too much attention to the matter of mastering a violent machine.

Although he has always been in charge of the Security Department, some things still need to be done. Therefore, for the sake of future stability and the principle of taking precautions, he decided to create another deputy minister.

This kind of subject matter is really niche. The reading, votes, recommendations, and various data are all very low.
