"Of course, if you choose the main base, these nuclear fuels can be used for about three thousand years according to the current power consumption level."

Zhang Yuan frowned.

The number of three thousand years sounds exaggerated, but the prerequisite is the current energy consumption level.

With the rapid development of industry, the use of electricity will definitely increase exponentially, and these nuclear fuels will soon be insufficient. For example, smelting metals, industrial production consumes huge energy, and the increase in population will also consume more energy. Currently, it is just the lowest standard for survival.

The astronomer continued: "If you rely on a wood-like planet to act as a nuclear fuel bank, of course you don't have to worry about energy."

"However, selecting a planet-like satellite as the landing point may lack certain minerals with heavier atomic weight, such as scarce metals, such as scandium, yttrium and lanthanides."

"The lack of these elements will cause a huge obstacle to the development of industry. We can't mine to the depths of the earth's core, and it is impossible to do this at the technical level or economic level."

Engineer Ye Kaifu, who was sitting beside him, tapped the table with his fingers, and was considering the gains and losses. He whispered: "Compared with more easily accessible energy, I still prefer more easily accessible resources."

"The energy does not have to be fusion, fission energy is also possible...even solar energy is OK! Don't think that nuclear fusion is higher than nuclear fission."

"I think so too... As for energy, only economics and cheap ones are the most suitable." Zhang Yuan nodded.

The scientist on the stage continued: "The second choice is the two innermost planets. Especially the one closest to the star, it is not an exaggeration to call it a metal planet!"

“We can easily find all the scarce metal elements.”

But this planet also has its shortcomings, with relatively few water resources and lack of organic matter. Whether or not there is uranium ore is another matter.

"...I have to say that the star in the center is a variable star. The brightness and electromagnetic radiation are unstable, and flares will burst from time to time. The orbital period of this planet is very short, and it only takes 4 days to circle the entire star and is very close to the star. The economic losses caused by the explosion of flares must be taken into account..."

These are all difficulties.

Zhang Yuan frowned. When a star explodes, as long as the defense measures are done well, there is no big problem. The most troublesome thing is that various remote communications will be interrupted immediately. If any important task is being performed, the loss will be great.

“…As for those two planets that seem to have a lot of water resources and have atmosphere, and are located in the livable zone, they are not within our consideration for the time being.”

"But there is a third option, we can consider a satellite of Glitzer  581 g."

"One of the satellites is probably the size of the moon... and it's even a little bigger!"

A pothole-filled planet appeared again on the screen.

The members of the Science Council are all more rational people. Although those two planets have a large amount of liquid water, they look beautiful in the environment and are suitable for human survival. Even one of them, 581g, is magnified from a certain perspective, it is simply an enlarged twin of the earth!

Many people are already online cheering and want to travel to aliens.

but……

According to the atmospheric spectrum analysis, the concentration of highly toxic gases mixed in the atmosphere, including hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide, is as high as 0.02%! This is enough for humans to eat a pot.

Moreover, the mass of this planet is 3.1 times that of the earth, and the atmospheric pressure is about 1.7 times that of the earth. Under this atmospheric pressure, humans will feel very uncomfortable and must wear space suits at any time to ensure normal survival.
