I was exposed for mining on Mars

The major space agencies on Blue Star are paying attention to the arrival of the landing window, but Luo Xiu, who is on Mars himself, has no plans to land on Blue Star yet.

At this time, Luo Xiu was in a factory that produced electrolytic oxygen and hydrogen, watching the operation of maintenance robot No. 26.

Previously, due to the discovery of a small amount of silicon ore, Luo Xiu directly manufactured thirty large-scale adjustable-angle solar power panels.

However, because these solar panels produce too much electricity when the sun is bright, and when the equatorial project is not implemented, the supply cannot continue at night, so Luo Xiu must consume the electricity during the day, and electrolyzing water to store hydrogen and oxygen is a very good solution. Not a bad choice.

Compared with the uncertainty of wind and light energy, hydrogen-oxygen generators can supplement the stability of the power grid when the power of these two power generation equipment is insufficient, and will not cause the power generation to fluctuate.

"Are the reserves sufficient?" The hydrogen-oxygen engine Luo Xiu was thinking about was already being produced in the manufacturing factory. When it comes off the assembly line, sufficient hydrogen and oxygen must be prepared.

After receiving Luo Xiu's question, the base's control system quickly replied in Luo Xiu's headset: "It is enough for the first hydrogen-oxygen engine. In order to prevent the hydrogen-oxygen engine from being interfered by the Martian environment, the power plant is almost ready. It’s done.”

Hydrogen-oxygen engines are different from wind turbines. Compared with wind turbines that are thick-skinned and survive in the wild, it is better to keep hydrogen-oxygen engines indoors.

Anyway, Luo Xiu now has plenty of iron ore, and building a factory only consumes some iron ingots.

"How long will it take to produce it?" Due to the upper limit of electricity, other factories in Luoxiu have not yet been able to put it on the schedule. Therefore, at this time, Luo Xiu was also very concerned about the construction speed of the hydrogen-oxygen engine.

"Thirteen hours, five minutes and forty-seven seconds later." The reply from the base control system was complete and complete, even the minutes and seconds were stated.

After hearing the reply from the base, Luo Xiu also nodded slightly. In just 13 hours, the next wave of construction will come again.

‘Collection equipment is needed on the ice layer, and a special robot production line must also be built. ’

In addition to the robot production line, detection equipment and solar panel production lines are all projects that need to be launched in the near future.

In addition to these recent plans, future projects such as fractionation towers, flight equipment, and artificial satellites are also on Luo Xiu's list.

In Luo Xiu's vision for the future, these must be laid out within half a year to a year. A year later, Luo Xiu will carry out a real, fortress-like transformation of Mars.

"call."

After coming out of the electrolysis factory, Luo Xiu rarely returned to his residence. After taking off his exoskeleton armor, he exhaled and lay down on the bed.

Luo Xiu has been working on the construction of the base, and it is rare for him to have a good rest.

"Your Excellency, Commander, your nutritional ointment." While Luo Xiu was lying down, a mechanical arm suddenly stretched out from the smooth wall and reached Luo Xiu's hand.

Luo Xiu, who was lying on the bed, glanced sideways at the white nutritional ointment with a look of disgust on his face. He had been taking the nutritional ointment for almost a month.

Although this nutritional cream comes in various flavors and the taste is pretty good, Luo Xiu really couldn't stand eating it three times a day for a month.

"It's this thing again." Although Luo Xiu disliked this nutritious ointment that was smaller than the size of his hand, he still reached out and took it in his hand.

Although there are still various kinds of seeds stored on the spacecraft, Luo Xiu has not established a hydroponic farm, which is somewhat luxurious for him.

Although Luo Xiu now has sufficient water sources, hydroponic farms require a closed environment, constant temperature chambers, and sufficient light, which are too energy-intensive for Luo Xiu.

Because of this, Luo Xiu could only continue to use the nutritional ointment brought from the spacecraft for the time being, and the stock was barely sufficient.

"Uh-huh."

Luo Xiu held the nutritional ointment in his hand and bit down on the food in his hand, biting off most of it.

In fact, this nutritional paste is relatively soft and glutinous when eaten, and has various flavors. If used as a snack, it may be more popular in Blue Star.

But for Luo Xiu, the taste was a bit unpleasant. He had been biting this soft and waxy food for a month.

Luo Xiu, who really couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth, took the nutritional paste in his right hand and stuffed it all into his mouth.

"Huh!" Luo Xiu, who had swallowed it whole, pushed himself up and looked at the white wall in front of him, "Mastermind, arrange the hydroponic farm behind the hydrogen and oxygen generator."

Luo Xiu, who had endured it for a month, could finally look forward to new food. At this time, the hydrogen-oxygen engine was almost completed, the energy supply would become stable, and it was time to put the hydroponic farm on the agenda.

The reason why the hydrogen-oxygen engine was built later is mainly because compared to other equipment, hydroponic farms rely most heavily on energy stability. One reason is that when the solar energy supply is weakest at night, at this time, the organisms in the entire hydroponic farm will be directly destroyed.

After receiving Luo Xiu's order, the base's control system immediately replied: "Okay, Commander, the production sequence has been changed, and the hydroponic farm has been added."

In fact, this base control system is not at the level of a mastermind. It is only a semi-intelligent existence and can only plan the base according to Luo Xiu's arrangements. But even such a base control system has made Luo Xiu very worry-free, so it is not too much to be called the mastermind.

"By the way, now we don't have to give Zhu Rong the transportation work. We installed a detection device for him and asked him to search for minerals nearby. The silicon ore discovered was not enough at all, and he could only produce more than thirty large solar panels."

Luo Xiu, who was just about to stand up, suddenly thought of the Zhuronghao who was still waiting outside his door. At this time, because the two major mines were occupied by mining machines, and the transportation was also completed by general-purpose robots, the Zhuronghao was regarded as a leader in the transportation industry. unemployed.

However, there is no idle machine in this Mars base. If you want to recharge it, it must be useful.

The six mechanical legs of the Zhurong are also very convenient to move, and all terrains are as smooth as walking on the ground, so it is also very suitable to go out to detect ores in various places.

"Okay, Commander."

The base control system, which had always strictly followed Luo Xiu's orders, immediately connected to the Zhurong after hearing the order and input Luo Xiu's order.

Zhu Ronghao, who was lying obediently at Luo Xiu's door, using a camera to observe the surroundings, immediately stretched its mechanical legs after receiving the order, and lifted the fuselage directly.

After standing up again, the Zhurong did not leave the base immediately, but went to the manufacturing factory. Before going out to complete the mission, it had to install a detection device.

On the Blue Star, the Blue Star people who had always watched the Zhu Rong as Luo Xiu's follower were very confused after seeing it move on its own.

‘Hey, why did Zhu Ronghao move on its own? Did we succeed in taking back control? ’

'No way? It looks like it's going into a building. Is it going to be renovated again? ’

Not only the ordinary Blue Star people watching the live broadcast were a little surprised, but even Cao Guolin and others in the control center also felt a little strange.

"Did you assign the task to the Zhurong Hao alone?" After confirming that he did not have the authority to control the Zhurong Hao, Cao Guolin sat back in his seat.

While Cao Guolin sat down, Gou Wen in front of him also took out a photo and handed it over, "Old Cao, this was taken just now when the Zhurong entered the building. This alien civilization seems to be producing something new. .”
