Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 238 Deployment Completed
The number of lava snails attracted by the crustal stabilization device is about one hundred.

Although it is a magical species living in an extreme environment, the number must follow the laws of nature after all, and it is impossible to explode so many soldiers like a swarm of insects.

The carapace of the lava snail is very hard, comparable to a military alloy plate. Although the marines' goblin rifles can cause some cracks, it takes a few people to focus fire to kill one.

What's more outrageous is that
These snails are not afraid of the shock wave and high temperature of the explosion. As long as the shelling power is not enough to overturn them, only the strong kinetic energy of a direct hit can hurt them.

"Aerial gunship, replace the armor-piercing shells immediately!"

The three Pelicans overhead immediately followed suit.

After changing the bombs, the explosions on the ground suddenly decreased a lot, but the effect of the large-caliber armor-piercing bombs was immediate.

As long as they can hit one or two shots, these snails will explode from the inside like a bomb, and then burst out a large piece of colorful ore, just like an exploded gem bag.

This discovery immediately cheered everyone up.

While firing, everyone guessed the true value of these ores.

Shentang has a military merit system. Generally, 10% of the harvest in battles will be converted into corresponding credit points, which are used to reward soldiers who participated in the battle and let everyone earn some pocket money.

The current official market of Shentang is established by Donald, and the exchangeable items are still relatively scarce.

There are generally three places for soldiers' credit points:

One is to exchange living resources to improve the quality of life;

The second is to upgrade your own equipment, wear better armor, and take better guns;

The third is to purchase implants.

With the implant, those soldiers who lack the corresponding talent can also gain command ability at the squad level, or become a technical sergeant major, which greatly improves the treatment in the army.

It can be regarded as a stable upward channel, which has been recognized by the majority of soldiers.

Soon, the last lava snail was wiped out, and none of the snails could get within 50 meters of the stabilizer. After all, the current marines are still elite, and it will be difficult to have such quality in the future expansion.

Hiss... Do you want to go to old Ivan again to ask for someone?

Well, you can have this, and when you find someone who is in a state of desperation in the future, you can hit him again~
……

Finally, the roar behind him gradually subsided. Looking back, only the buttocks of the originally tall stabilizer remained exposed, which looked like a circular base.

This is not finished.

In order to protect this precious equipment, the second batch of support teams has been ready to go on the Crescent mothership.

Lu Feng took out a compressed folding door frame and unfolded it in the valley.

A semicircular space door appeared immediately, and then a large number of SCVs carrying base modules drove out of it, building up around the stabilizing device in an orderly manner.

SCV is a durable space engineering robot, and the entire Sanctuary star cluster is full of them.

Driven by a technician, the chassis is a crawler, equipped with a welding torch, a drill, and a multifunctional mechanical arm, with propellers installed behind it, and can also be used in space.

SCV can complete most engineering construction and mining tasks, has an independent circulation system inside, and can work in harsh environments.

Just like now.

These SCVs are building outposts around stabilizers.

The outpost includes two layers of military alloy walls, 8 automatic turrets, a high-power communication base station, a landing pad for transport boats, and a factory building that can be covered with stabilizers.

A high-power communication base station is necessary, without which the ground forces cannot communicate with the orbital fleet.

The reason why Lu Feng was able to contact the mothership before was because the Pelican carrying them specially strengthened the on-board communication equipment and used it as a signal booster to transfer signals for Lu Feng.

Otherwise, the signals responsible for the equipment will be obscured by dense charged clouds.

In the future, the supporting facilities of the power station will be installed in the factory building, such as cooling towers, substations and the like.

There is a modular base production line on the Crescent mothership. Bases like outposts without too much technical content are easy to build, and semi-finished products can be deployed and fixed by SCV soon after they are shipped to the site.

In the eyes of Lu Feng and others, the rugged valley was quickly cleaned and flattened, and the surrounding piles were laid one by one, and then the 10-meter-high wall module was unfolded and installed between two fixed columns.

A section of the wall was built quickly in this way, and it took less than 10 minutes.

The next construction will take about 6 hours. During this period, Lu Feng and the others cannot leave and must guard until the outpost has the ability to protect itself.

Sure enough, during the construction of the outpost, human movements attracted two waves of native creatures.

One of the waves is a lava snail, and the other wave is a lava snail.

Everyone found out.

This area should be the territory of lava snails. There are large and small groups of snails living around them. They mainly feed on various minerals. They are a group of honest and hardworking natural miners.

Of course, the premise is that you don't let them feel that someone is mining on their own territory!
The spars that exploded from the corpse of the lava snail,

After testing, it contains high-purity [zeolite] and [cobalt].

Cobalt is a very important rare metal and is often used to make alloys.

Cobalt alloy has remarkable high temperature resistance and is an excellent material for manufacturing high temperature components such as boilers, engines, and reactors;

For example, cobalt alloy is added to the core components of the turbine engine, so that it can obtain high oxidation resistance without covering the protective layer, and it can also greatly extend the life of the core when used in nuclear reactors.

The magnetization characteristics of cobalt alloy are also quite excellent. After one magnetization, it can not be demagnetized for a long time. The demagnetization resistance temperature caused by high temperature is as high as 1150°C, which is nearly 400°C higher than that of iron!
Therefore, cobalt alloys are widely used in acceleration coils of electromagnetic weapons.

It can be said that any force that wants to develop electromagnetic weapons, cobalt alloys are indispensable!

As for zeolites,

This is a magical alien ore, which can be made into a series of industrial preparations such as high-efficiency coolants, adsorbents, ion exchangers, and catalysts through chemical synthesis through different processes.

It can greatly improve the operating efficiency of the factory.

Since the output of zeolite is not high, it is generally used in the military industry, and it is a strategic material that only military industry giants can afford.

at the moment,

Before Lu Feng has no new source of energy, the mass production work must be turned into a normal mode.

In other words, Shentang must establish its own industrial production system as soon as possible, and use all the production lines on the New Moon mothership.

To this end, resources are essential.

Collecting resources will no longer be as simple as turning everything into cornerstones like the creation system.

The discovery of cobalt solved the urgent needs of electromagnetic components and heat-resistant metals, and the discovery of zeolite could greatly improve the industrial efficiency of Shentang.

For example, the production of electromagnetic rifles requires the use of cobalt alloys;

For upgrades like thermal magazines, Zeolite is required.

It can be said that the discovery of these two precious resources is no less significant than the smooth deployment of the crustal stabilization device!
