My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 130: resource! New way of generating electricity

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

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

Somo looked at the new features slowly emerging from the top of the game panel in shock.

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

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

resource!

Different from other small functions like Monster Illustrated Book, the resource function is located directly above the game panel, on the same level as the other five options!

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

"Could it be said that in the future development trend, everyone will have to revolve around resources..."

"Alien...what is the purpose of coming?"

Kobolds...lionmen...as well as scavengers that have not been seen before, and even other fantasy creatures that others have mentioned in the world chat.

These creatures are definitely not coming with the same survival purpose as humans.

The cruel ethnic wars and the baptism of natural disasters on the wasteland are regularly experienced. What on earth is there to attract these fantasy creatures to die?

Unreasonably worried, it was never Sumo's style.

The sky is falling, naturally there is a tall man against it.

After shook his head and recorded these things that were not at the current stage of thinking in a private letter, Somo's thoughts lightened and he completely let go of his worries about the future.

Ideas turn into illusory fingers and point to resource functions.

A panel different from other game functions jumped out.

This panel is very strange. It is not a simple text describing the amount of resources, but a topographic map that can be swiped with a mental finger.

The topographic map is flat, not big at the moment, and it's exactly the same size as the 7.5 kilometers stated on the game panel.

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

"Well, the yellow one should refer to the sulfur mine?"

Under the ground near the underground refuge, there was another yellow mark. With Somo's point, the topographic map suddenly turned into a 3D mode.

At this time, the full picture of the sulfur mine leaked out, and at the same time a property panel appeared next to it.

【Sulfur Mine (Level 2)】

[Mineral vein status]: After extensive mining, there is still a small amount of surplus ore

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

[Special Ability]: None (two stars unlocked)

[Mining difficulty]: very low

[Remaining reserves]: 26 tons

Clicking on the function of switching perspectives makes it a joy to play Suma between plane and 3d.

The sulphur ore was supposed to be a square cube stored in this underground, but after mining, it has become an extremely irregular shape.

I don't know what disasters we will experience later, the current sulfur mine has been compressed into a triangle.

The further down, the more sulfur mine reserves.

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

After searching for a while, Su Mo was stunned that he didn't find what good things he had added in the earthquake just now.

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

Click in, and after three or five seconds, with a surprise, Somo directly retreated to the initial interface, cutting the plane to 3d and pulling it down.

Sure enough, beneath the center of the underground refuge, a cloud of magical matter appeared as if it was flowing slowly.

These substances looked invisible and colorless, only a little bit of light yellow mixed in them, and because of the flow, Somo missed it when he first checked it out.

"It's a strange feeling, is this water? Or gas?"

At the same time as the thought was generated, the thought squeezed this wonderful substance in his hand with a big hand, and at the same time a piece of information was manifested.

【Geothermal Resources (High Temperature and High Pressure Steam)-Level 1】

【Mineral Vein State】: Complete body, without any mining, in a state of heyday.

[Mining value]: two stars (peak: two stars)

[Special Ability]: I want to split (when the reserves are above 50%, the veins will recover 0.2% of the mineral reserves every natural day, and the minerals will drop below 50%, and the ability will disappear)

[Mining difficulty]: High

[Remaining reserves]: 500 tons

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

He muttered this often heard term, and Sumo tried hard to think back where he saw this thing in the end.

Tik Tok? Station B? Tiger flutter?

Recalling one thing, Somo likes to think back 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? Yes! Just know!"

I thought of Zhihu, and gradually, a series of messages began to connect in Somo's heart, and the flow of information also gushed out like a blowout.

When I saw the four words of geothermal resources, it was not an exclusive issue. On the contrary, it was an argument that everyone had already quarreled with.

At the time, Somo remembered very vaguely, but vaguely remembered that he was discussing the principles of nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power plants use nuclear power to generate electricity.

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

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

Therefore, such a behavior of "burning the boiler" will naturally not be accepted by some "general" netizens.

At that time, someone was in the bar. Will Tangtang Nuclear Power Plant use such a "low" method to generate electricity? Isn't this funny?

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a big guy to post a theory below and put forward a successful power generation method that has been successfully explored, that is, geothermal resource power generation to support his claim.

After entering the 21st world, as the mining of coal and oil has become more and more eye-catching, when science and technology have fallen into a bottleneck and have been unable to advance to "controllable nuclear fusion", how to use new recyclable resources has become the focus of exploration.

Among all the resources, geothermal resources have naturally entered the sight of everyone, and because of their high energy efficiency, they have gradually developed rapidly.

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

As for geothermal power generation, first convert thermal energy into kinetic energy, and then convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.

There are three main types of geothermal resources used for power generation, namely hydrothermal resources, ground pressure resources, and dry hot rock resources. The latter two have not progressed even before crossing. Only the first type of hydrothermal resources has derived a series of Complete technology tree.

In underground hot water power generation, steam and water must be separated first, and the water must be drained so that the steam enters the steam turbine to perform work. This system is called a flash system.

Among them, the reason why geothermal steam power generation is the simplest is that geothermal steam is both a heating medium and a working fluid, so this step is omitted.

The famous Tibet Yangbajing Geothermal Power Station has been in operation for more than 40 years, with more than 6000 hours of operation per year, and an average annual generating capacity of more than 120 million kWh.

This fully proves the superiority of this resource.

"Geothermal resources are good, but at this stage it is too difficult to mine for power generation!" Watching this naughty group of water vapor rushing around in Mind's hands, a feeling of helplessness surged. Su Mo's heart.

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

The key to using geothermal technology is drilling wells and water injection, and drilling costs are an important constraint.

In addition to the high technical requirements for drilling depth, topography also has important constraints on well site selection.

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

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

Huaxia has drilled more than 5,000 wells, which are currently only distributed in the northern part of Tarim, and the cost of a well is calculated in 100 million yuan.

And this is due to the cost when the local salt rock formation is thousands of meters thick. If the "butter-soft salt rock" that is generally a few kilometers thick is replaced with hard rock, the cost will be doubled.

Stepping to the generator set, Somo tried to call out the generator attributes. This time, the generator set appeared in a new upgrade direction.

【Diesel generators】

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

Fuel consumption: 230 grams per kilowatt hour (82L/h at full load)

Description: A diesel generator produced by Siemens Group in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, with intact circuit functions, it 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 to survive (1680)

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

Upgrade direction 3: Open up a five-kilometer motor-driven well underground, change the working method of the generator, and change to a geothermal resource generator set, which greatly improves the efficiency of the generator, and needs a survival point (36800)

"Good guy, I'm stupid. At a survival point of 36,000, I will upgrade to geothermal power generation? Can't I upgrade more advanced phantom power generators?"

The first time I saw that the survival point given by the system exceeded four digits to five digits, and the number at the beginning was still 3, it made Suma stunned for a while.

With so many points of survival, even if you don't spend all of it in a year, it is estimated that you won't save so much.

"Hey, if only this motorized well could also add materials to reduce the price!"

"Um?"

Sighing in his mouth, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Somo's heart.

According to the difficulty of the upgrade, these expenses must have been spent on drilling motorized wells, but Somo remembered the cost of opening up escape routes.

The cost of the system will be scary when it is made out of nothing, but when digging a hole, the cost will be reduced indefinitely.

After trying to open the list of materials in the third upgrade direction, after a glance, Somo said: "Happy"!

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

Throw away these and provide a generator set, which can reduce 500 points, and the upper limit is 6.

Providing an ordinary drill bit for drilling can reduce 500 points, and providing a diamond drill bit can reduce 2000 points!

As for the improvement of higher quality drill bits, as the quality increases, the maximum will be reduced by 4,500 points.

In the best case, if these reductions can be made up, the cost of upgrading the generator set will be reduced to 4,300 points.

If you can find something you haven't heard of before and add it, the last survival point you need is...

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

"Perpetual motion machine!"

Slowly spit out the three words that only Minke would say on his lips, Sumo's eyes burned, and he looked at the resource card in the storage space.

"iron ore..."

"Copper Mine..."

"I have three more, and I even have hundreds of treasure chests! There is a chance that they will be opened!"
