My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 130: Resources! A new way of generating electricity

[Record]: Random first-level resources have been generated near the main refuge "Underground Shelter", please enter the new function to view

"The first-level resource card has actually opened a new function?"

Su Mo looked in shock at the new functions slowly appearing above the game panel.

When I saw the game panel for the first time, there were only five functional options: attributes, chat, trade, manufacturing, and items.

But now, in the last column, a new category option finally emerged.

Resources!

Different from other small functions like the monster illustrated book, the resource function is located right above the game panel, on an equal footing with the other five options!

This also represents the importance of resource options in the settings of the game panel.

"Does it mean that in the future development trend, everyone will revolve around resources..."

"What is the purpose of the arrival of the alien race?"

Kobolds...lionmen...and ratmen that I haven't seen before, and even other fantastic creatures that others have mentioned in the world chat.

The arrival of these creatures definitely did not come with the same survival purpose as humans.

Cruel ethnic wars, and the baptism of natural disasters on the wasteland regularly, what is on this land that attracts these fantastic creatures to die one after another?

It's never Sumo's style to worry about anything.

The sky is falling, so naturally there is a tall man holding it up.

Shaking his head, after recording these things that were not considered at the current stage in the private message, Su Mo thought lightly and completely let go of his worries about the future.

The idea turned into an illusory finger, and clicked on the resource function.

A panel that is different from other game functions jumped out.

This panel is very strange. It does not describe the amount of resources with simple words, but a topographic map that can be slid with the fingers of the mind.

The topographic map is flat and not very big at the moment, exactly matching the size of 7.5 kilometers mentioned on the game panel.

On the terrain map, Sumo saw the changes in the terrain, and the resource function also intimately marked the resources within the current shelter range.

"Well, this yellow spot should refer to the sulfur mine?"

Under the ground near the underground shelter, there was another yellow mark. Following Sumo's click, the terrain map suddenly changed into a 3D mode again.

At this moment, the whole picture of the sulfur mine was revealed, and at the same time, a property panel appeared beside it.

【Sulfur Mine (Level 2)】

[Ore vein status]: It has been extensively mined, and there are still a small amount of remaining mine

[Mining value]: half star (peak: one and a half stars)

[Special Ability]: None (two-star unlock)

[Mining Difficulty]: Very Low

[Remaining reserves]: 26 tons

Click the function to switch the viewing angle, and play in Sumo between plane and 3D.

The sulfur mine should have been stored underground in a boxy cube, but after mining, it has become an extremely irregular shape.

I don't know what disaster happened later, but the sulfur mine is now compressed into a triangle.

The further you go down, the more reserves of sulfur ore there will be.

"Hey, what resources did I add to the random resource card just now?"

After searching around, Su Mo didn't find what good things were added in the earthquake just now.

However, in the upper right corner, Su Mo saw a small trumpet-shaped thing.

Click to enter, and after three to five seconds, with a pleasant surprise, Su Mo directly returned to the initial interface, cut the plane to 3D and kept pulling down.

Sure enough, under the center of the underground refuge, there appeared a group of mysterious substances that seemed to be flowing slowly.

These substances looked invisible and colorless, only a little light yellow was mixed in them, and because of the flow, Sumo missed it when he checked it for the first time.

"What a strange feeling, is this water? Or gas?"

At the same time as the thought came into being, the big hand of the thought rubbed the wonderful substance in his hand and squeezed it back and forth, and at the same time a piece of information manifested.

[Geothermal resources (high temperature and high pressure steam) - level 1]

[Ore vein status]: Complete body, not yet mined, in full bloom.

[Mining Value]: Two Stars (Peak: Two Stars)

[Special Ability]: I'm going to split open (When the reserves are above 50%, the ore vein will recover 0.2% of the mineral reserves every natural day, and the mineral reserves will fall below 50%, and the ability will disappear)

[Mining Difficulty]: High

[Remaining reserves]: 500 tons

"Geothermal resources? Or high-temperature and high-pressure steam, why does it sound so familiar?"

Muttering this often-heard noun, Su Mo tried hard to recall where he had seen this thing before.

Douyin? Station B? Tiger pounce?

Recalling a thing, Su Mo likes to recall from the very beginning, and bring out the rest of the memory by looking for the first memory point.

"It seems to be, thank you for the invitation? Yes! It's Zhihu!"

As soon as I thought of Zhihu, gradually, a series of information began to be connected in Su Mo's mind, and the flow of information also gushed out like a blowout.

When I saw the four words geothermal resources, it was not under the exclusive issue, but under the issue that everyone had already quarreled, someone put forward this argument.

Su Mo remembers the question at that time very vaguely, but he vaguely remembers that he was discussing the principles of nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy to generate electricity.

The core equipment is a nuclear reactor, which heats water to generate steam, and converts nuclear fission energy into heat energy.

The steam pressure drives the steam turbine to rotate, and the heat energy is converted into mechanical energy, and then the steam turbine drives the generator to rotate, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

So such behavior of "burning boilers" will naturally not be accepted by some "mass" netizens.

At that time, some people were arguing below, would the Tangtang nuclear power plant use such a "low" method to generate electricity? Isn't this funny?

Sure enough, not long after, a big guy posted a theory below, and proposed a power generation method that has been successfully explored so far, that is, geothermal resource power generation to support his statement.

After entering the 21st century, with the mining of coal and oil becoming more and more important, when technology is stuck in a bottleneck and unable to advance to "controllable nuclear fusion", how to use new recyclable resources has become the focus of exploration .

Among all resources, geothermal resources have naturally come into everyone's sight, and because of their high energy efficiency, they have gradually been promoted and developed rapidly.

In some areas with sufficient geothermal resources, they have been fully utilized for heating. Although the effect is not satisfactory, the advantage is that the cost is low.

As for geothermal power generation, the thermal energy must first be converted into kinetic energy, and then the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.

There are mainly three types of geothermal resources used for power generation, namely hydrothermal resources, ground pressure resources, and hot dry rock resources. The latter two have not improved even before crossing. Only the first hydrothermal resources are derived A series of complete technology trees.

Underground hot water power generation must first separate the steam and water, and the water must be drained to make the steam enter the steam turbine to do work. This system is called a flash system.

Among them, the reason why geothermal steam power generation is the simplest is because geothermal steam is both a heat carrier and a working medium, and this step is omitted.

The well-known Yangbajing geothermal power station in Tibet has been in operation for more than 40 years, with an annual operation of more than 6,000 hours and an average annual power generation of more than 120 million kWh.

It fully demonstrates the superiority of this resource.

"Geothermal resources are great, but at this stage, it is too difficult to exploit them for power generation!" Looking greedily at the mischievous water vapor scurrying around in the hands of the mind, there is a feeling of helplessness. Feelings welled up in Su Mo's heart.

The deeper the underground, the higher the temperature, but the burial depth of the "heat source" is directly related to the development cost.

The key to utilizing geothermal technology is drilling and water injection, and drilling cost is an important restrictive factor.

In addition to high technical requirements for drilling depth, terrain also has important constraints on the selection of well sites.

With the help of the system, it is not a problem to reach this place of geothermal steam, which is about five kilometers underground, but the cost of survival is not affordable at this stage.

Of course, most people have no idea of ​​the cost of drilling a 5km well.

Huaxia has drilled 5,000+ wells, which are currently only distributed in the northern part of Tarim, and the cost of a well is calculated in billions of dollars.

And this is due to the cost when there are thousands of meters thick salt rock formation in the local area. If the "butter soft salt rock" which is generally thousands of meters thick is replaced by hard rock, the cost will be doubled several times.

Stepping up to the generator set, Su Mo tried to call out the attributes of the generator. This time, there was a new upgrade direction for the generator set.

【Diesel Generator】

Efficiency: 300kw (full load 300 degrees/h)

Fuel consumption: 230 grams per kWh (full load 82L/h)

Description: A diesel generator produced by Siemens Group in Wuxi, Jiangsu. The circuit function is intact and can be used normally at present, and the loss is almost negligible.

Upgrade Direction 1: Replace the core components of the generator, enhance the power supply efficiency of the generator, reduce the power consumption of the generator, and need survival points (1680)

Upgrade Direction 2; change the working method of the generator, change to biomass power generation, enhance conversion efficiency, reduce path loss, need survival points (6500)

Upgrade direction three: open up five kilometers of underground motor wells, change the working method of the generator, change to a geothermal resource generator set, greatly improve the efficiency of the generator, and need survival points (36800)

"Good guy, I'm so stupid. With 360,000 survival points, I will upgrade geothermal power generation? Can't I upgrade to a more advanced psionic generator?"

It was the first time I saw that the survival points given by the system exceeded four digits and reached five digits, and the number at the beginning was still 3, which completely stunned Su Mo for a while.

With so many survival points, even if you don't spend all of them for a year, you probably won't be able to save so much.

"Hey, it would be great if this well can also add materials and reduce the price!"

"Huh?"

Sighing, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Su Mo's heart.

According to the difficulty of the upgrade, these costs must have been spent on the drilling of the motorized well, but Su Mo remembered the cost of opening the escape route.

When creating something out of nothing, the cost of the system will be terrible, but when digging a hole, this cost will be reduced without limit.

After trying to open the material list in the third upgrade direction, after taking a look, Su Mo said: "Happy"!

Among the required materials, iron ore needs 5000 units, one unit costs 3 survival points, copper ore needs 2000 units, and one unit costs 5 survival points.

In addition to these, provide a generator set, which can reduce 500 points, and the upper limit is 6.

Provide an ordinary drill bit for drilling, which can reduce 500 points, and provide a diamond drill bit, which can reduce 2000 points!

As for improving higher quality drill bits ~IndoMTL.com~ As the quality increases, the maximum reduction will be 4500 points.

In the best case scenario, if all these reductions are combined, the cost of upgrading the generator set will be reduced to 4300 points.

If you can find some things you have never heard of and add them in, the last survival point you need is...

"2000 points! As long as I have 2000 points, I can have a generator with at least 350 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, and because of my special ability, as long as I stop on time, or upgrade his level, then it is equivalent to..."

"Perpetual motion machine!"

Slowly uttering the three words that only Minke would talk about, Su Mo looked at the resource card in the storage space with burning eyes.

"Iron Ore..."

"Copper Mine..."

"I still have three more, and I even have hundreds of treasure chests! It is completely possible to open them!"
