Learn one small skill every day

The Yara civilization directly refused: "We will proceed step by step according to the established plan."

"Don't you realize that we're in a cycle with you now, and I can feel that with each cycle, you're trying to drive me crazy, to watch you do useless work over and over again?"

"That's not within our scope of consideration; we only want to solve the meteorite problem."

"I told you I could help you think of a better solution."

"But we need to try our plan first to see if it works..."

In the end, we came right back to square one.

Bai Miao gave up on continuing to communicate with the mermaids.

It's better if everyone does their own thing.

Back on the ship, Bai Miao summoned the minister and explained the plan.

"Can that gas film withstand the high temperatures on the surface of a meteorite? And transporting a meteorite out of the seabed isn't easy either. I don't know if the gas film is strong enough to withstand it."

There are still many problems to be solved in implementing the plan to enclose the meteorite in an air film to separate it from the seawater.

Bai Miao planned to first learn about the structure of the air membrane.

The air membrane is initially a thin, transparent sheet. After standing on it, you grab both ends and lift it up. Then, you continuously add water and inflate it. With the help of water, the air membrane gradually solidifies into a whole. Inflating it ensures that it eventually forms a hollow sphere, which then envelops the person standing in the center.

Do you know how this air-supported membrane structure was invented?

Faced with this question, the fisherman couldn't answer it and simply suggested that Bai Miao ask the people in the city.

The city is not very large. In terms of development level, this land civilization is only a level 3 civilization. The Yara civilization is even lower, only level 2. However, they have mastered the air membrane technology that can withstand the pressure of the deep sea.

Bai Miao immediately flew the Endless Energy over the city, ordering them to quickly hand over the person most knowledgeable about air-supported membrane technology.

Since the Endless Energy was able to fly, no land has been able to stop Bai Miao's advance.

The sudden appearance of a colossal structure above the city caused panic among many, but upon learning that the person simply wanted to learn about air-supported membrane technology, they all actively recommended relevant personnel to provide guidance.

"So these air membranes... actually originated from the Yara people?"

"Yes... the raw material is the membrane produced by the Yala people. They have organs that can secrete a special gelatinous substance. After the Yala people die, they choose to send their bodies to the sea. We discovered this technology from this. But now that we have established contact with the Yala people, we have a special channel to trade air membranes with them."

The film maker answered cautiously, afraid of inadvertently angering the group of outsiders.

"How strong is it? Is it strong enough to let the meteorite pass through?"

"If the temperature is too high, the membrane will melt, and it will also break when it touches a sharp edge."

"It seems that using meteorites directly won't work. How about we put the meteorites and the nearby seawater together and send them away as a whole?"

Bai Miao simply discussed with the membrane maker how to use gas membranes to process meteorites.

These are professionals.

"This will probably require a lot of materials. We can only ask the Yara people if they can produce a large quantity in a short time. The location where the meteorite fell also needs to be dealt with... otherwise the gas membrane cannot be placed at the bottom of the meteorite."

Bai Miao thought of the Yala people who were trying their best to prevent the meteorite from falling onto the seabed.

What they are currently doing seems to meet this condition.

If a smoother metal shield is used to insulate the meteorite's sharp surface at the bottom, and an additional heat insulation layer is added, the gas film can envelop the meteorite from the bottom.

But that's assuming they succeed.

"How large an air-supported membrane can you make with the materials you have right now? Let's make one first and see how it goes."

"OK……"

"You won't be shortchanged on your money; we'll conduct a normal transaction."

Bai Miao didn't want to get something for nothing, mainly because it might not work this time, and everything given out would come back after the restart.

It would be better to do more verification.

Bai Miao gradually came to understand the way the Yara civilization thought about problems.

They don't think about how to solve the problem at all; instead, they rush headlong into one direction, and only after achieving results do they realize it's ineffective and then try a different approach.

This is completely different from analyzing the causes of a problem and finding solutions at the source.

Perhaps after many attempts they did manage to stop the meteorite from shattering the seabed, but then they would find that even that couldn't break the restart.

That's why they changed their approach.

Ultimately, the idea might be to encase the meteorite in a gas film.

But at that time, the technology they had previously used to stop the meteorite came in handy again.

Bai Miao dared not even imagine how many detours and cycles there would be along the way.

Bai Miao divided his forces into three groups. One group consisted of membrane makers who made membranes as large as possible. On the other side, to verify the feasibility of using a gas membrane to carry the meteorite out, Bai Miao had the R&D department create a meteorite with a similar shape and weight.

It's called a meteorite, but it's really just a bunch of metal pieces haphazardly pieced together.

There is also an internal heater that can heat the iron block to nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius, which is the temperature it would be when it falls to the seabed.

The temperature will gradually decrease over time. As long as you can withstand the initial temperature, there shouldn't be any problems later.

The last team went to ask the Yala people if they could have a share of the metal shield, and how their insulation panels were designed.

Five days passed quickly.

Finally, the membrane makers on the island worked together to create an air membrane with a diameter of about one kilometer.

Simulated meteorites and heat shields are all in place.

Problems gradually emerged.

The insulation panel was not as good as expected. It quickly transferred heat to the air film at the bottom, and after a gap appeared there, the air film quickly fell apart.

"If one layer isn't enough, let's make a few more. We can also take this opportunity to investigate the temperature limit of the air-supported membrane."

Bai Miao was not discouraged; he simply verified how many layers of insulation panels were needed to prevent the air film from melting.

The final conclusion was that ten layers were needed.

"There are also transportation issues, but I think we can ignore those and just use a gas membrane to enclose the meteorite, then add a metal shield to protect the gas membrane and create an isolation zone. What do you think of that?"

The pathogens likely multiplied rapidly around the time the meteorite cooled down, leaving less than five minutes for the gas membrane to deploy after the meteorite fell into the sea.

As long as the gas film can be stabilized during this period and then protected, the danger of pathogens on the meteorite can be eliminated.

"This plan is fine."

With the support of the powerful computing capabilities of the Endless Energy, the plan to isolate the meteorite using a gas membrane was successfully approved. However, the gas membrane has a shelf life and needs to be replaced at least every ten years.

This task can be entrusted to the Yala civilization, as they themselves regularly replace the air membrane protecting the settlement.

"Will it restart in ten years?"

Bai Miao was not entirely at ease with Shi Yan's stubbornness, so he went to the Yala civilization, found Shi Yan, and roughly described his plan to her.

Shi Yan's tone remained completely unchanged: "No, if it comes to that, the reason for restarting will be to eliminate the factors that caused the pathogens inside the meteorite to leak out due to the rupture of the gas membrane, rather than the meteorite itself. Of course, it is more likely that I will not be here at that time, and the Yara civilization will be directly destroyed."

"Alright, what I'm doing doesn't violate your conditions, does it? I'm just helping to propose a plan; its actual implementation still depends on the Yara civilization."

"It's not against the rules."

"Okay, then I'll go design a structure for the Yala people that can minimize the impact of the meteorite landing."

With Shi Yan's affirmative answer, only one question remained.

Meteorites need to land safely, not smash straight into the seabed.

……

"So why did the Yara civilization, despite building its own device and using air-supported membrane technology to seal the meteorite, still restart this time?"

In the new cycle, everything proceeded according to Bai Miao's plan, but after the meteorite was encased, time restarted once again.

"You probably used mathematical and physical knowledge that the Yala people had never mastered when you designed the structure."

Chapter 143 Emma's Collapse

Bai Miao was getting a little frantic.

That's too rigid.

At this point, Yan really shouldn't stay on the ship to let her use her skills.

Otherwise, if she suddenly has a brain fart and does something big, she'll end up trapping the Endless Energy Ship.

Although it had nothing to do with her at that time, Emma was trapped indefinitely.

After deciding to end this cycle, Bai Miao immediately had Shi Yan live with Holke and enter a hibernation state.

That telephone should be sufficient for the future captain.

Fortunately, Shi Yan explained why it failed this time. It was just a design based on the mathematical and physical foundation currently possessed by the Yara civilization, right? There wasn't anything difficult about it.

Bai Miao simply handed this task over to Gong Ni.

Let the Operations Management Department first acquire knowledge of the Yara Civilization to determine their current level of understanding, and then let Gong Ni design a complete plan.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last cycle.

With the dungeon about to be cleared, Bai Miao felt a little melancholy.

This dungeon took way too long.

But the time after returning was only a fleeting moment.

It felt like a dream.

After his return, who will succeed him as captain?

It wasn't that Bai Miao was arrogant; Bai Miao believed that, apart from Noah himself, absolutely no one could do it better than him.

"Emma, ​​let's talk."

Bai Miao summoned Emma.

Emma also saw hope that the cycle would end, and her expression became much more relaxed.

The previous cycle confirmed that the plan was sound, but the method used did not meet the conditions of the Yara civilization. This time, implementing the plan on the Yara civilization will solve all the difficulties.
