interstellar farmer

Chapter 313 Comprehensive Reserve

The next destination of the Dragon God is the closest one among the twelve highlighted in the galaxy map that Kulin handed over.All twelve planets have been mined, and Han Zhen is eager for the minerals on them.

"Father, is this the star tree you mentioned? Why are there so many?" Han Yu pointed to the newly arrived mineral star and said in disbelief.This mineral star should be a second-class secondary star. In the most primitive form, there is no water source and no atmosphere on it. In the previous image, the entire planet was brownish-yellow, but what Han Yu sees now is 90% The whole place is covered by a layer of black matter up to a thousand meters high, like an extra layer of wrapped shell, and when the camera is zoomed in, you will find that this layer of shell is made of rattan-like objects of varying thickness. It is formed by intertwining stems with branches and branches!Densely stacked, like multi-layered spider webs, when added together, they become a shell.

On the twelve planets, Han Zhen has adopted two methods to mine minerals. One is the conventional method, which is mainly used in mining areas with high ore volume and clusters of minerals. The characteristic of these places is that the minerals only need a little Refined, it can become a crude finished product; the other is the mining of the unique star tree plant that Han Yu saw: After spreading all kinds of star tree seeds all over the mountains and plains, after a short period of growth, the basic The growth of minerals as nutrients has entered the forming period. Once the star tree enters this period, it is he who absorbs the minerals in the area where the rhizomes are located. Precious minerals are gathered together.At this time, the entire planet has become a huge farm. Therefore, in the mouths of those who know the existence of the star tree in the Han family, this appearance that almost the entire planet is wrapped by the star tree is called the star tree. tree farm.

"A lot?! Not many. After comparing the environment, this planet only needs 22 kinds of star trees to cover most of the rare and valuable minerals. Well, the statistics of these minerals are about 67 kinds. Although There may still be some types of minerals that cannot be taken into account, but what we are most lacking today are these 67 types.” Han Zhen thought for a while and then said: “You have also seen that in order to increase the amount of mining, I have invested a lot of money on this planet. These 22 kinds of star tree seeds are extremely numerous, five times more than the expected coverage, if you want other minerals, you can only wait until the end of this season."

"Five times!? No wonder," Han Yu understood.In fact, she was not surprised just now by the number of types of star trees here, but by the number. They can cover 90% of the entire mineral star. How many plants are needed to cover it?You know, even if one plant can cover hundreds of square kilometers, it would take countless plants to cover an entire planet that has no oceans and is entirely planted. Moreover, there is a lot of overlap!However, Han Zhen’s last sentence of five times the amount of input explained the reason. There was only one piece, but now six pieces are left, of course there will be more!

Han Zhen contacted the person in charge of the mining planet and received a detailed record of his arrival on the planet.There are not many people on the planet. Except for the 1000 conventional high-yield mining areas that require more than 200 million people, the Star Tree Mine does not have a large demand for manpower. All of them add up to only 200 million people. You know, this mine The star is not small. Taking the earth as a reference, it is more than four times the size of the earth!These 90 million people are in charge of [-]% of the four earth-sized planets. Although each person has two robots as assistants, it seems that the number of people is still too small. turn up.

This is the advantage of Star Tree Farm, it is easy to manage!So far, there are 167 types of star trees. The time required for each star tree seed from sowing to entering the forming stage varies, but the longest one is no more than five years, and it has been compressed by Han Zhen After that, most of them are less than three years old. During these three years, there is no need to take care of them. The most important thing to do is to look around to see if there are any seeds that have not touched the ground, and to replace these seeds. .Three years later, that is, now, the fruits and stems formed on this mineral star will appear in the same place. What these two million people have to do now is to drive a hover car or airship every once in a while. , go to these parts of each star tree to pick the fruits and cut the roots. Oh, it doesn’t matter even if you forget to pick them. You only need to drive over and pick them up in a short period of time, within a week. ——Their fruits will fall directly after maturity, and the stems on the main trunk will also fall off automatically; and because they are wrapped in a shell, there is no need to worry about being absorbed by the star tree again immediately after falling.

The planet is now a busy scene. Two million people drive hovercars and airships and are responsible for the work of fruit farmers. However, with special pickers and robots to help, it is really easy.Originally, Han really wanted to use only 200 million people to be responsible, but because the coverage here was five times more than expected, it was set to 100 million people.

The star tree is very aggressive, so all its seeds were completed in the special research institute before, and now its "birth" place has become the Dragon God.After planting, the star tree does not have any reproductive ability and genetic ability, and the growth period is also strictly regulated. The maximum is 20 years, and the minimum is [-] years. Once the time is up, it will die immediately, and what will be left after death is a large number. Ordinary minerals, or second-order minerals.

It is not difficult for Han Zhen to let Xingshu automatically bring the ordinary mines under the surface out of the surface when it dies, but he did not do it, because although this method can obtain more ordinary minerals, it belongs to An extreme approach, a predatory approach.The ordinary mines on the surface are enough, if there are any more, it will hurt the foundation of the planet; there is also a foundation for the next batch of star trees, if all of them are extracted, the growth of the new batch will also grow. become slow.

I looked through the records from beginning to end, and affirmed the person in charge.Any leakage of anything here will be a storm that will shock the universe, so those who can be in charge here are all the most loyal talents of the Han family who have been selected by thousands of people.

"Arrange people to open the warehouse, so you don't have to worry about the handling; at the same time, pay attention to receiving, find a place, I have brought you something new." Han Zhen ordered.

"Understood, my lord! I'll make arrangements right away!" The person in charge left excitedly.

After he left, Han Yu jumped out, holding the virtual record book in his hand, shaking it vigorously: "Dad, this is great! There are so many reserves of high-grade minerals here! It is more than four times the expected report! "

"Of course!" Looking at Han Yu's cute little appearance, Han Zhen scratched her little nose, "The expected report was drawn up more than half a year ago, when production on the farm in the mining area had just begun. In the past half year or so, exactly When mining is good, it's not unusual to get four times more supplies." Han Zhen was also in a good mood, and everyone would like having more supplies. "In the future, we will receive it once every two to three years, and then it will be considered a real bumper harvest!"

On this kind of planet with star tree farms, special attention must be paid to building warehouses. Star trees are very aggressive. If you don’t pay attention, you may be able to drill in from the ground and directly absorb the stored minerals again. Lose!Therefore, the warehouses on the planet are all built on a natural satellite outside the planet, which is a bit similar to the existence of the moon on the earth. How can I say that the star tree is not so powerful to be able to extend it.

The 67 huge warehouses that are classified according to each type of rare and valuable minerals have all been opened at this time, and it can be seen that none of the warehouses are full, and there is still a lot of space left, but even so, two teams were dispatched The transportation team went back and forth twice before they were all emptied, which made Han Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, grin from ear to ear.

At several locations designated by the person in charge, Han Zhen put down the materials he had brought by the way, and after encouraging him again, the "Dragon God" left and went to the next mineral planet.

During the next voyage, Han Yu had things to do, and the various refineries gathered under Taici's leadership were finally able to operate some of them.The number of these factories is absolutely large. Although not every kind of rare ore or every level needs a special factory for refining, after all, the manufacturing methods of many minerals are similar and have some commonalities. Jade and Laoke have also made some improvements in this regard, but even so, there are more than 500 various mineral refineries.

Because there are only 67 kinds of minerals, it is not necessary to use them all. Only more than 40 of them are used. Han Yu is refining and researching on the side. Many improvements need to be carried out in practice. She also knows that her theory There are enough, but this is the difference.

"Dad, do you think it is possible to use the characteristics of the star tree to form a complete shell with high defense when they die? In that case, wouldn't it be possible to increase the planet's defense?" Han Yu tilted his head. said the head.She was deeply impressed by the star branches and canes that seemed to wrap around the entire planet.

Han Zhen's body shook. That's right, the Star Trees can be adjusted and improved at any time. If they can form a layer of armor when they die, the effect will not be bad; According to the ratio of the armor formula to form the final legacy, the defense degree is not ordinary; whether the battle star itself needs it, or a large number of needs, if it can be operated in this way, the armor problem of the battle star will not be solved?By extension, if I can provide the various minerals needed when the star tree grows, and correct the direction of their growth, can it form a real armor?As long as the star tree has nutrients, it will grow very fast. If the speed can be increased to the limit, can it form a living armor?Interstellar satellites will definitely be built by themselves in the future. The biggest problem is the armor problem of tens of thousands of meters. If the characteristics of the star tree are used, can it be solved? ....

The more Han Zhen thought about it, the more he realized it was valuable for research. He didn't even hear Han Yu's screams and entered his research room directly like a gust of wind.
