Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 239 Recasting the Earth
The discovery of two strategic resources made Lu Feng ecstatic.

It can be said that my feet in this new world have not yet settled down, and there are these cute big snails coming to give housewarming gifts.

What a joy!

However, such things as killing snails and exploding mines cannot be done all the time. It is wrong to exhaust the resources.

Either find a way to raise these snails in captivity, and then even the ore refining will be saved.

Or go to the habitat of these snails to search, find the source of the ore, and then artificially mine and refine it.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, which need to be determined after investigation.

……

Six hours later, the two defensive walls of the outpost were closed, and the outpost was tightly protected by a wall made of military alloy.

It's like the pure land circled by human beings in the valley surrounded by dangers.

Eight 8-meter-high automatic turrets have also been deployed behind the wall. These 15-unit 4mm coil guns are powerful and can be used for both high and flat purposes. They can automatically find the enemy and fire. The energy is temporarily supplied by energy coins and will be converted into a geothermal power station in the future. Energy Supply.

With these powerful turrets, Lu Feng finally felt relieved for the time being.

The apron and factory buildings are still under construction, so there are still dozens of SCVs staying. After they are completed, the Heron heavy transport boat will come to transport them to the next construction site.

Next, there are 5 more stabilizing devices that need to be deployed.

Three Pelican transport boats took off again and flew to the No. 3 exploration point.

With the experience of the previous few times, the next detection will be much more calm, at least not to be frightened by some strange creatures emerging from the ground.

For example, when exploring target point No. 7, the exploration team encountered a rock monster.

This thing was about the size of a tank, and it was usually disguised as a big rock, but it suddenly came alive when humans approached, and it shocked everyone around.

Fortunately, it is very bulky, unable to catch up with human power armor, and its threat level is very low.

It wasn't enough for the giant rock beast, but it was really hard, harder than the lava snail. In the end, three gunboats took turns to bombard it, and finally smashed one.

After testing, its hard shell actually contains a lot of titanium!

In other words, this thing is equipped with titanium alloy armor...

No wonder it's so hard!

But the good news is that the titanium mines around the base are also available.

Everyone can see it.

Instead of using conventional methods to prospect ore in the future, it is better to look for those native creatures. These creatures can survive in the Ash Continent, and they will inevitably come into contact with various minerals, and there will always be various metal elements in their bodies.

If you are lucky, for every native creature you find, there is a high probability that you will also get a clue of a rare mineral.

Compared with the future development prospects of the colony, the risk of encountering native creatures is not worth mentioning.

Lu Feng thought so at the time.

As a result, on the third day of exploration, he had successfully deployed five crustal stabilization devices and corresponding outposts, and only the last one remained.

However, this time they encountered a group of rather violent native creatures-liquid moths.

This species is also a lava creature and spends most of its time in lava lakes.

When they are disturbed by human activity, they will rise to the surface of the liquid and use the liquid in the surrounding environment to form an exoskeleton-like shell for themselves.

In the magma lake, the shell is naturally made of magma, which not only has a high temperature, but also can absorb a lot of kinetic energy.

Their attack method is not as harmless as the previous stone monsters. They will spit fireballs, and each fireball can cause a large explosion.

They wander along the lava lake around point 18.

These are the only survey points left, and they must be cleared in order to complete the stabilizer deployment here.

It's a pity that the firepower of the marines and the gunboats is not enough to destroy them, and even approaching them is very dangerous. There is no way, Lu Feng can only suspend the exploration and go back home.

That night, Lu Feng rushed to the research institute.

After the calculation of the two parties, the final solution is to use a rapid refrigerant to cool and solidify the opponent's shell, to the point that ordinary bullets can be smashed.

The fourth day passed quickly.

In the early morning of the fifth day, Lu Feng led the team to appear in the sky above point 18 again. This time, a total of 4 Heron-class heavy transport boats were dispatched, carrying liquid nitrogen produced urgently.

After scaring the snake away, a large number of liquid moths emerged from the surface of the magma, "upright" like goblets, and spewed fireballs into the air.

The fireball flew hundreds of meters and then began to fall. After all, the range cannot be compared with human weapons.

"Start spraying liquid nitrogen!"

Soon, a large amount of liquid nitrogen was poured down, and a large amount of white gas burst out instantly after meeting the high-temperature environment below.

But this time Shentang prepared enough, even though it wasted a lot in the middle, a considerable amount of liquid nitrogen was poured on the liquid moth in the end.

Soon after, a group of ice sculptures briefly appeared on the surface of the magma.

"Now! Don't wait for them to melt~"

The soldiers opened fire immediately, and the intensive firepower strafed the ice sculpture. The ice sculpture shattered immediately, and the liquid moth frozen in it also fell apart, and the dead couldn't die anymore.

It's a pity, because it died on the magma, so there is no way to recover the liquid moth's body.

Fortunately, the threat was cleared up smoothly.

With a loud noise in the sky, the last crustal stabilization device was air-dropped and firmly inserted on the No. 18 lake center island.

Still the same process.

Drill, secure, build outposts...

However, this time the defense level of the outpost is higher than the first 5, and it is also equipped with a large number of liquid nitrogen grenades, which are used to kill the liquid moths that appear in the future.

The time has come to the 7th day.

Finally, all 6 stabilization devices have stabilized, completed the pre-start self-check and energy filling, and the internal inverter particles are sufficient, ready to start running.

"I'm Lu Feng, I'm ordering, No. 1 ~ No. 6 crustal stabilization device, start the countdown, 5... 4..."

"start up!"

With one command, six invisible waves spread out from the circularly arranged stabilizers, and a large number of inverter particles were driven into the underground magma layer. A considerable chain reaction occurred immediately, and the lava first started to condense in the center.

Under the action of the stabilizer, the underground lava passage narrowed rapidly, and the flow of lava inside began to slow down, darken, and finally solidify, becoming a part of the rocky earth.

Over time, the instrument readings in the middle of the construction yard skyrocketed.

It indicates that the ground under the feet is slowly thickening, the crustal movement gradually stagnates, and the lava is repelled to the surrounding ground passages in other directions.

Seen from above,
In the center of the Continent of Ashes, a vast area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers dimmed, and the fiery red that burned all day long disappeared.

corresponding,
A new round of lava eruptions began around the area.

This is a normal reaction after the energy has been channeled out, and it subsides quickly.

24 hour later,
The land finally stabilized.

A vast colonial construction site has officially taken shape!
