211: It’s small but also very cute (New Year’s greetings to everyone)

“Host, there is no more information for now, so an accurate and effective judgment cannot be made, but usually, the probability of friendliness is lower than the probability of invasion.”

“Alright, never mind whether this extraterrestrial civilization is friendly or not. First, exchange a basic energy module for me.” Lin Yang didn’t ask any more questions.

Regardless of whether the other party is friendly or unfriendly, as long as his own strength becomes strong, who cares what their intentions are.

If they dare to invade, he will make sure they die without a burial place!

Strength is the eternal truth!

Between individuals, between nations, and between civilizations, whoever is stronger is king!

Instead of wasting time guessing here, it’s better to improve his own technological strength before the other party arrives.

He now holds tens of millions of national treasure value, giving him the confidence to contend with the other party!

“Okay, Host, a basic energy module has been exchanged for you!”

“...So small?” Lin Yang looked at the exchanged basic energy module and couldn't help but blink.

This energy module was only the size of a normal person's palm.

Yes, not the size of a whole hand, but only the size of a palm!

If it weren't for the blue light flashing inside the energy module, this thing, if thrown on the ground, would not attract anyone's attention.

“Host, even small ones can be cute. This is just a basic energy module.”

The system suddenly replied.

“...” Lin Yang’s mouth twitched, and he stopped bothering with the system, summoning Apocalypse to install the energy module.

“Apocalypse, now go transport the Robot team from Tiangong Base to other planets in the Solar System to mine resources.”

After installing the energy module, Lin Yang made arrangements, and at the same time, he also had Butler One divide out corresponding resource mining sub-teams, waiting for Apocalypse to transport them separately.

“Butler One, you can monitor the mining situation of each resource mining sub-team at any time, right?” Lin Yang asked.

“Yes, Commander.”

“Good, once the resource mining teams start their work, you analyze their mining progress to see the efficiency of converting the mined resources into energy.” Lin Yang instructed.

“Understood, Commander.”

After arranging Butler One's work, Lin Yang found Zhao Zizhen and told him that he wanted to salvage cultural relics from the deep sea.

This surprised Zhao Zizhen greatly: “Lin, although there are indeed a large number of lost cultural relics in the deep sea, the difficulty of salvaging them is too great, and because of years of immersion in the water, many cultural relics may shatter upon touch.”

“You have already brought back all the cultural relics lost in other countries; you have done enough. Our ancestors, upon learning that all cultural relics have returned, will surely be very pleased. As for those cultural relics at the bottom of the sea, is it really necessary?”

Zhao Zizhen thought Lin Yang wanted to be perfect, trying to retrieve all cultural relics possible.

But there’s a reason why those cultural relics at the bottom of the sea haven’t been salvaged for so many years. Besides the great difficulty of salvaging, another important reason is that the cultural relics have been submerged in the sea for too long. They might look intact when undisturbed, but many will shatter directly with a slight touch.

Even if salvaged, they would have no value.

Going to the deep sea for salvage is truly a thankless task.

Zhao Zizhen explained to Lin Yang, trying to persuade him to give up this idea.

Lin Yang, however, smiled and said, “Dean Zhao, I understand the reasoning, but I still hope to give it my best shot. We’ll salvage as much as we can.”

“You’re really going to salvage them?” Zhao Zizhen couldn't help but ask.

“Yes.” Lin Yang nodded.

Zhao Zizhen fell silent for a moment.

After a while, seeing Lin Yang’s firm attitude, Zhao Zizhen slowly said, “Since Classmate Lin, you have made your decision, we will naturally fully support you. What do you need us to help you with?”

Zhao Zizhen directly took the initiative to ask. Since Lin Yang came to him, he most likely needed his help with something.

Lin Yang immediately smiled and said, “No one understands me better than Dean Zhao. I do need Dean Zhao to contact the marine department and ask them to cooperate.”

“That’s a small matter. It’s only right to cooperate with your work, Classmate Lin.” Zhao Zizhen waved his hand and then said, “However, the marine department doesn’t have advanced enough equipment to support your deep-sea salvage work. Their cooperation will likely be very limited.”

“I know that.” Lin Yang said, “They just need to send people to receive the salvaged cultural relics at any time. As for the salvage tools, I will handle that.”

“Classmate Lin, are you going to research deep-sea salvage tools?” Zhao Zizhen's eyes instantly lit up.

Every research Lin Yang conducted brought about epoch-making products. Now, hearing that Lin Yang was going to research deep-sea salvage tools, Zhao Zizhen also began to look forward to it.

Deep-sea salvage has many technical difficulties.

Firstly, the deep-sea environment is characterized by no light, high static pressure, strong ocean currents, and strong seawater isolation.

This greatly reduces the effectiveness of traditional terrestrial detection methods in the deep-sea environment.

Secondly, positioning is also a problem. Objects falling to the seabed will drift due to ocean currents, which further increases the difficulty of positioning.

Finally, and most crucially, salvage operations are difficult. After determining the precise location of the target, deep-diving operations are required, but current submersibles struggle to maintain operational stability in the deep-sea environment because the seabed environment and geology are relatively unique.

Therefore, deep-sea salvage has always been a very troublesome matter.

Of course, everything has two sides.

While deep-sea salvage work is difficult, if the above problems can be solved, the benefits it can bring are also numerous.

First and foremost, the problem of marine environmental pollution can be greatly improved.

Shipwrecks and various submerged objects in the ocean can cause great pollution to the marine environment. If they can be salvaged, marine pollution can be greatly reduced and prevented, and marine animals and marine ecosystems can also be protected.

In addition to this, deep-sea salvage also has scientific and economic value.

The economic value goes without saying. Through salvaging shipwreck relics, many valuable items and artworks lost at the bottom of the sea for years can be retrieved, and it can also provide great technical support for the development of seabed resources, such as the mining of seabed minerals, and so on.

These can all bring huge economic value.

As for scientific value, by salvaging shipwreck relics, one can study historical navigation technology, further understand cultural, economic, and social changes in human history, and also help research deep-sea organisms, and so on.

It can be said that deep-sea salvage actually has a very important role and significance.

But unfortunately, the technology cannot keep up.

Lin Yang is now preparing to research deep-sea salvage related technologies because he wants to salvage cultural relics from the seabed!

This made Zhao Zizhen excited.

If successful, this could be a great boon to the entire marine environment and human society!

And besides all this, the most important thing is that if deep-diving tools can be improved, it means that submarines can also get a technical upgrade!

Then dominating the ocean will truly no longer exist merely on the surface!

Looking at Zhao Zizhen’s excited expression, Lin Yang smiled slightly:

“Improving deep-diving tools is not difficult.”

Thanks to Brother Zhou Jinlu for the 1888 coin reward and Brother Bai Nian for the 1 Jaeger Brother's reward. Thank you to the three brothers, you have spent a lot. I wish the three brothers a Happy New Year, all the best, and great prosperity! I bow to the three brothers!

At the same time, I wish all brothers and sisters a Happy New Year, and I extend my New Year greetings to everyone!
