Advanced form of the universe

There is no danger.

Long Tian explored the entire central building and found that there was no intelligent body except him.

Even artificial intelligence doesn’t exist.

The third floor is the escape route.

The second floor below is the environmental control center.

The negative floor is the defense system.

The first floor is the mission hall.

The second floor is the collection and storage space.

The third floor is the fighter space.

The fourth floor is the base command center and residence.

The fifth floor is an open-air battleship venue.

Among the entire building, the only one he thought could be used was the XB-8 small metal collection engineering ship on the second floor.

After carefully turning around twice.

Long Tian returned to the second floor again and came to the collection engineering ship.

At this stage, he is still in the exploratory stage. He will first see what this thing is.

Enter the collection engineering ship.

In his mind, an instruction manual popped up immediately.

The instruction manual explains in detail the specific operating matters of the collection engineering vessel.

"The power source is heavy hydrogen, the maximum speed is 350 meters per second, the collection speed is 100 kilograms per hour, the maximum collection volume is ten tons, and only metal elements can be collected."

"It is mainly composed of five modules, power module, storage module, collection module, metal conversion module, and system module."

"The power module uses a GT400 engine, with a maximum tonnage of 100 tons and a safe tonnage of 70 tons. It uses heavy hydrogen energy and can be filled with 100 liters of heavy hydrogen at one time, allowing the collection ship to continue working for days."

"The storage module is divided into five storage bins. Each storage bin can only store two tons of metal, which are located at the four corners and center of the collection ship."

"The collection module carries four small mining ships, located at the four exit locations below the collection ship."

"The metal conversion module processes metal ores, extracts the metal elements of the ores, and performs highly purified processes."

"The system module, which can also be called a comprehensive automated collection and processing module, can set up mechanized processes to automate the work of the collection ship."

All the information on the entire collection ship was displayed in front of him, even though he had already experienced enough shocks.

At this time, Long Tian couldn't help but sigh.

This collection ship is so sophisticated, so sophisticated that it’s outrageous.

It works continuously for 400 days, and is equipped with an automatic cooling system, an automatic fault detection system, and an automatic repair system. These are all built-in with the collection ship. During the work process, unless it is directly blown up due to problems such as component damage, etc. The collection ship can solve the problem by itself with the support of system modules.

What's even more outrageous is that what this collection ship collects is not ore, to be more precise.

The four small mining ships it carries are the ships that actually mine metal ore.

After the four mining ships transport the metal ore back to the collection ship, the collection ship has a metal conversion module that performs multiple operations such as decomposition, separation, extraction, and purification of the metal ore, and finally turns the metal ore into metal.

But now, he understands that there is a fundamental difference between the metals mentioned by the landing civilization and the metals he thinks.

The metal he considered was nothing more than a single metal.

The metal mentioned by the landing civilization is completely a concept. As long as the number of electrons in the outermost layer of an atom is less than 4, it is a metallic element. After multiple operations on the collection ship, these elements will be purified and processed. Secondary processing to form a metal mixture.

Including common metals copper, iron and aluminum, rare metals zirconium, vanadium, molybdenum, etc., all mixed together.

And this is the metal to which the ashore civilization belongs.

What passes through the metal conversion module of the collection ship and finally enters the storage module is the metal mixture.

"This statistical method is more reasonable!"

Long Tian highly approves of the collection and statistics of such metal mixtures.

Because in nature, a single metal vein usually does not exist.

Large-area metal veins usually contain complex metal elements such as aluminum, tungsten, copper, iron, and tin.

Even the collection of copper ore on earth also involves the processing of other metallic elements.

But the direct separation of metal elements is more direct and simple.

For secondary processing of the collected metal mixture, only the corresponding metal elements need to be separated twice.

There is no need to add other metal elements to make alloy materials.

"Buzz!"

Long Tian followed the instructions in the manual, sat on the driver's seat, and started the collection ship.

The collection ship roared and rushed out from the exit on the second floor.

Direct crackle.

reaches the speed of sound.

in a blink.

The collection ship rushed out of the hexagonal shell of the base.

He does not need to operate the whole process. He only needs to give orders to the collection ship to search for metal ores.

The system module of the collection ship will automatically detect the ground.

The collection ship flew for about three minutes, and he saw a large red area appear on the display screen.

With the support of the system module, the collection ship began to fly towards the red zone.

In two minutes, the collection ship stopped above the red zone.

At this time, the collection ship did not start mining directly, but performed three-dimensional modeling on the display screen.

This is exploring the entire mineral vein.

The whole process lasted nearly an hour.

Continuous three-dimensional modeling is carried out to mark the metal content of each area on the three-dimensional module.

Ultimately, the metal distribution and specific content detection of the entire ore vein is formed.

"Three hundred million tons of metal!"

The final display screen showed the content of this automatically named No. 1 metal mine.

These 300 million tons of metal are not simply iron, copper, etc., but contain nearly 92 metal elements.

The collection ship did not detect the reserves of specific metal elements, and there was no specific data.

This contains all the metal content of this metallic vein.

While Long Tian was still studying and thinking, the collection ship started to move.

Originally, the collection ship was more than a hundred meters above the ground, but at this time, the collection ship began to descend steadily.

When it dropped to a height of more than four meters, the collection ship stopped suspended in the air.

then.

He saw on the display screen that the four exits under the collection ship opened, and the four small mining ships stored in them flew out.

fell to the ground.

The picture on the display screen is also divided into four pictures, and each of the four boats has a perspective.

Really nothing to say.

Mining boats are similar to drill mining.

Drill holes at their respective locations.

What's even more intelligent is that there is a layer of rock nearly three meters thick on the surface of this metal mine.

The mining ship actually excavated automatically and dug up the entire rock layer. The scraped stone was transported to a crater by the mining boat.

Then, the mining ship started collecting.

This is automatically determined.

The mining ship has automatic metal content determination. Once the metal content in the storage is less than 1%, it will be judged as scrap and directly discarded.

After mining.

This process becomes simple and boring.

After the mining ship's storage bin is full, it returns to the collection ship, automatically pours the mined metal ore into the metal conversion module, and then flies out to continue mining.

The metal conversion module starts working, decomposing, separating and purifying metals.

After ten minutes of the whole work, he saw a cube-shaped metal block being transported out of the conversion module and automatically entered the storage module.

The five storage bins are stored on a rotating basis.

The entire collection is so simple and straightforward.

When the five storage warehouses exceed 90%, the collection ship will take back all the small mining boats and automatically fly back to the second floor of the central building.

Store the metal in the storage bin in the second-floor storage room, and then continue to this point for collection.

Completely automated collection.
