Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

After being generally familiar with shooting in standing, squatting and prone positions, it is formal shooting training, and she is required to shoot each target quickly and minimize the time for aiming, which makes the hit rate that can be seen at the beginning Index down.

Fortunately, Xia Lin has a lot of ammunition on hand, and there are plenty of materials for making electric ammunition. Good shooters are fed tons of ammunition, even if Yelena's talent is not bad.

Moreover, although her talent is not bad, without the assistance of the symbiote, the actual shooting rate is only visible. According to this progress, she will have to practice for at least a week or two before she can master it more proficiently. weapons.

This is a hot weapon known for being easy to train. Xia Lin doesn't even know how to fight with cold weapons, and it's even more difficult to teach her to use industrial knives, because those things are more powerful and difficult to master. , it is easy to hurt yourself, it is not designed to fight at all.

Compared with the Falcon, the training of the Warhammer double-barreled short-barreled shotgun is simpler. The main purpose is to let Yelena get familiar with the recoil and fast reload aiming. OK.

This is also one of the reasons why short guns are more difficult to practice than long guns, and long guns are more difficult to practice than shotguns. This is why it is best for beginners to use shotguns when they come into contact with firearms-because it is relatively easier, especially automatic shotguns.

While Yelena was practicing firearms, Xia Lin was building a second greenhouse near the stream. Thanks to the architect's equipment, all the building materials and some of the automatic machinery needed for the greenhouse and greenhouse could be produced.

The second greenhouse is much larger than the first, and although it is still an acre (100 square meters) in size, it is much taller.

The manufactured lightweight carbon material brackets are quickly softened and spliced ​​together under the heat gun, and then a diagonal cross-shaped fixing piece is stuck at the junction to complete the installation of a bracket.

After all, it is an agricultural greenhouse rather than a thing for living and bearing. Later, a metal exoskeleton will be installed on the outside, and armor or cold protection panels will be added according to the situation to deal with sandstorms and snowstorms.

Judging from the intensity of the so-called "natural disasters" that Yelena said, the workshop should not have to consider the problem of resisting natural disasters. In fact, on this planet, extremely abnormal natural phenomena called "natural disasters" often occur.

The more abundant the source stone resources, the more frequent natural disasters, and the poorer the source stone resources, the more difficult it is for natural disasters to occur. Generally speaking, this rule is followed.

However, since the natural disaster itself will cause the origin stone particles in the air to condense abnormally, turning into a large number of origin stone minerals, it is difficult to determine whether the natural disaster is caused by the dense concentration of origin stone, or the accumulation of rich ore due to the dense natural disaster.

However, according to Xia Lin's scan, this area is indeed an area where origin stone particles are extremely rare, which means that natural disasters will not come so frequently. In fact, these large and small safety zones do exist on this planet. , the so-called mobile city will transfer back and forth between these safe areas for refuge.

It’s just that these safety zones vary in size. The big ones can accommodate large mobile cities like Longmen, and the small ones can only accommodate villages and towns temporarily. Those places that can accommodate multiple cities and stay in a safe state for a long time are basically legends. The first-level safety zone can be met but never sought.

It took Xia Lin almost half a week to build the three-story-high frame, and then it was much easier to install the plates. This work can only be done by drones. Their lifespan is running out. This kind of unmanned The machine itself is not a durable model that can be used many times, and it is the result of Xia Lin's use of all kinds of methods to be able to use it today.

But after using this time, there is really no way to go on, unless he rubs the parts by hand to replace these drones, replaces the nano spray gun with a more detailed industrial construction tool, and then further writes complex control programs, The difficulty is too high, and if you have that skill, you might as well build it yourself faster.

The efficiency of drones is indeed much higher than that of humans. After the last drone issued an alarm that the spray gun was scrapped, a small greenhouse with a transparent dome appeared in the open space, and the lower end was sandwiched by a double-layer carbon material plate. The upper layer is a transparent dome made of multi-layer graphene composite reinforced board manufactured by the architect's production line.

This 7mm thick layer of graphene sandwiched with diamond film is used for space farms. Smaller meteorite fragments and space junk cannot be penetrated, even if it is hit by the Falcon in Yelena's hand. It can only be a ricochet, and only when Xia Lin's falcon rifle is adjusted to the overload output can it crack.

This is a greenhouse used to grow rice as the staple food. Due to the possibility of "natural disasters" at any time, this kind of material that consumes raw materials and production line man-hours is used. The main reason is that Xia Lin did not find graphite or coal mines, and used wood to recycle carbon raw materials and press them into Graphene and diamond... energy consumption is very high, and at one point watched the load of the core fusion reactor reach an overload state of 105%.

Fortunately, the amount used is not much, otherwise, Xia Lin would have to find a new power generation unit with sufficient power. Generally, at least [-] or [-] generators of the kilowatt level are needed to form an array to be enough for this kind of electric tiger.

Standing in the empty greenhouse for a while, Xia Lin began to install the internal equipment. Yelena also came to help after using up today's practice ammunition. She has a petite body, but she is agile and strong. Useful for planting supports.

The planting bracket made of carbon fiber material looks a bit like metal. It is black and gray with bright luster, hard, dense and slightly tough, and has a smooth feeling like glass.

In addition to the support pipes, there are also pieces of square plates used to form walkways, which are used to build stairs. Soon the greenhouse is full of supports, sprinkler pipes, and walkways with air holes. And simple railings inserted in prefabricated holes.

The planting area is divided into five floors, and the corridor for human inspection is divided into three floors. The planting columns are three standard columns, and the complicated pipelines pass through the planting frame.

After that, Xia Lin moved the planting boxes full of seedlings one by one and placed them on the support. When raising seedlings, they can be densely planted together, but when transplanting into this kind of planting box, they need to be planted a little sparsely. Some.

Neither Xia Lin nor Yelena have ever done this work of transplanting rice seedlings. Fortunately, this standard greenhouse hydroponics planting is a little easier, because there are holes reserved in the frame, which is purely physical work.

Ah, it is a mechanized operation in the colony. The robotic arm will accurately transplant the seedlings, and it is much more stable than human hands, and there will be no problem of damaging their young root systems.

With the help of the lighting, after the work of transplanting and transporting was completed, it was almost early morning, and the two of them could only admire the dense green seedlings densely planted in the greenhouse before going back, almost numb and After planing the simple mashed potatoes without any nature, he plunged into the bed and fell asleep.

Agricultural production has its own beautiful side, that is, there is no boss urging you to get up and go to work on time every morning. Although you fool the crops, the crops will fool you, but it has been done for a long time, and it is completely useless to sleep in for a day or two. Impact - and the more you enter into modern agriculture, with the blessing of various lazy breeds, the impact of this kind of problem on the harvest will be smaller.

In fact, in modern agriculture, irrigation, mechanization, seed varieties, chemical fertilizer blending, and most critical pests and diseases are the biggest factors affecting agricultural harvests, or the impact of technology is far greater than the impact of labor hours.

In Star Alliance agriculture, these impacts are even smaller, and even the working hours of the labor force have almost no impact on the planting harvest itself in agriculture. Whether it is transplanting, seedling raising, or breeding, they are all automated. The professional level and meticulousness of the labor force are very high.

And the consequences are much more serious. Once you shake your hands and mix the wrong fertilizer and burn the roots, traditional agriculture may kill one or two acres of land, and the worst is only a few hundred acres of land. Star alliance agriculture depends on you. Where is it wrong.

If you're unlucky, it's very likely that the harvest will be dead, and the range of mass death is calculated in square kilometers, or even thousands of square kilometers, because it is very likely that a large surface area equivalent to modern Canada will be planted with one kind of crop, and then one crop will be planted at a time. All scrapped.

If it is a super-giant space farm like the Huanri Farm, the one-time lethal crops may more than double the price of food in several nearby star areas, causing the government to open warehouses to stabilize prices.

Although this kind of sand sculpture error generally does not appear, and multiple error correction and security measures can normally prevent it-but if it is not meticulous and professional, it is indeed a matter of time and probability that problems will occur.

The planting cabins of the rice greenhouse are arranged in standard gradients to take advantage of natural sunlight, and solar lamps are installed at angles that cannot be reached by natural sunlight as compensation, basically ensuring the time and intensity of light received by each rice plant in the entire planting area They are basically equal, and in a room that is almost the same as sterile and windless, their accumulated temperature and nutrient absorption are basically the same.

Individual rice planting frames need some adjustments due to random factors, but they are all simple adjustments, at least in the first generation, and the next few generations will be a little more troublesome. The agricultural technology company of the Star Alliance also knows that land reclamation is the best It is difficult, so making the process of opening up wasteland as simple as possible will help the colonists gain a firm foothold.

As for the later troubles, there is a charge, and Xia Lin is the technical specialist who is responsible for solving various problems of crops after the third or fourth generation, um, for a fee.

And in the early morning when Xia Lin and Yelena were both hugging their quilts and sleeping soundly, an Ursus scout slipped down from a tree some distance away from the farm, "What's the situation? What are they repairing?" The big man with bear ears guarding under the tree asked, "Is it a prison? Or something else?"

"..." The scout shook his head with a very strange expression. The transparent house looked like some kind of prison yesterday, with black iron bars (carbon fiber), armor plates with air holes, and cages something that turned out this morning to be...

"Hurry up, what is it?" The companion was a little anxious when he saw that this guy was silent for a long time. They came to scout the way for the guerrillas, and the large troops will pass here soon, so they must ensure their safety.

"It's... a greenhouse, it's full of green seedlings"

"what!?"

Chapter 14 Agricultural Machinery Code-Walking Tractor

With the gradual arrival of summer, the sky is no longer snowflakes. The bright sunshine shines on the dark blue land and forest all day long. Abundant animals roam and feed in the woods.

After a complete, difficult, and fatal process of manpower carrying the ore, I finally saved enough materials to make a simple electric motor.

Fortunately, he really learned how to use the agricultural machinery tool shop to manufacture various electric motors and even fuel engines during training, and of course, the technology to repair them, otherwise, trying to start from scratch would be fatal.

The advantage of learning is that Xia Lin's PNIS contains the blueprints for storing the common agricultural power sources of the Star Alliance, and it does not need to be made by hand, at least not completely.

It took almost a month to save materials, but it took only 25 minutes for the nano-hive to manufacture the chassis and electric motor, 20 minutes of which were spent on processing metal materials, and the actual processing time was only about 5 minutes.

Of course, this kind of parts and modules manufactured in the "quick printing" mode by using the honeycomb are generally not high in strength. Power, high horsepower output.

Now, Xia Lin's garage finally has a practical use. This electric motor with about 75 horsepower is powered by a superconducting battery. The mileage is about 400 kilometers, ah, the premise is not to drag too heavy things.

As for the chassis is still a metal main beam and carbon fiber structure, because the structural strength is far lower than the minimum industrial product standard of the Star Alliance, it has been warned many times by the built-in system. This kind of structure and material of the chassis cannot be used for the sake of safety. manufacturing vehicles.

If it weren't for the communication antenna being broken, Xia Lin felt that she would soon be listed as a key monitoring target by the Manufacturing Association, because of the suspicion of manufacturing seriously substandard fake and shoddy products to enter the market.

After all, although the Star Alliance has relatively developed technology and social systems, the lower limit of the quality of human beings basically remains unchanged.

It is not news that the products of the workshop pretend to be genuine by OEM, and the accidents and casualties caused by serious substandard quality are not news.

Therefore, the governments of the Star Alliance countries have carried out very severe crackdowns, especially for such sites with manufacturing capabilities are very closely supervised.

Although the rest of the car shell and mechanical equipment such as operation and steering can be printed in a honeycomb, quite a few parts still need to be rubbed by hand by himself.

Anyway, on this afternoon when the sun was good and the outdoor temperature was neither too hot nor too cold, Xia Lin finally opened the rolling shutter door of the garage workshop, revealing the result of two days of hard work behind it—a machine full of tradition, retro And a minimalist... small agricultural tractor, and it's also a three-wheeled one.

Except that it doesn’t make the classic chug-chug sound because of the electric motor, in terms of shape, it is no different from the walking tractor commonly known as the dog-head tractor. Then again, he just uses this thing to carry ore , Specimen, and then use it for transportation, if you are ugly, you will be ugly.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Xia Lin reluctantly used graphene material to seal and strengthen the cab, and then installed an enhanced geological scanner on the roof, which made its shape more... ..classic up.

Throwing the mining rigs, ore boxes, plant sample containers, and packed tent luggage that were inconvenient to carry before into the truck, Xia Lin patted the truck and shouted to Yelena, "Hurry up!" Get in the car, we're leaving!"

Theoretically speaking, it would be safer to leave alone on the farm side, but this time they won't run too far, and Yelena's current shooting skills are not good enough to stay alone.

However, no one is left to guard the house. It does not mean that the workshop has no defense. The five machine gun towers can ensure that no matter if it is a wild animal or an aborigine, they will not be able to take it down without heavy firepower. Moreover, the distance they went out this time It's not far away, and when you hear the gunshots, you can immediately return to the intruders with a double-sided force.

And bringing Yelena also has a purpose, which is to let her point out which of these animals and plants are edible or have medicinal value. Although she has lived in the mine since she was a child, those infected miners are better at distinguishing these things.

It is impossible to survive simply relying on the ration rations that are deliberately designed to starve them to death. Therefore, the fungi in the mine, various plants in the wild, and even small creatures caught will be hidden by them as food. .

Once this behavior of suspected escape is discovered by the guards, they will be punished very cruelly, but they still cannot stop them from spreading this knowledge by word of mouth.

After the plants that were taken back a few times before were all worthless weeds, Xia Lin simply brought her out this time. This was the first time Yelena went out after being rescued, or more precisely, a long trip. Nervous and excited, the girl almost stayed up all night, jumped onto the truck with two dark circles under her eyes, and sat on a bundle of fabric-bound signposts with her falcon rifle in her arms.

"Buzz!" The electric motor made a low sound, and the three-wheeled tractor quickly rushed down the slope to the workshop, and then drove out of the fence. The non-pneumatic tires made of carbon materials are very light, but they can't absorb shocks. Rin didn't have the luxury to use precious metal materials as shock-absorbing springs, and he bumped like a boat in a storm along the way.

After finally driving to a tiny mineral vein he had found before, Yelena's eyes in the back seat were straightened, and she started to vomit while holding onto the tree trunk as soon as she got out of the car. Xia Lin was not much better than her, and her face turned blue. The two of them waited for more than ten minutes before they felt a little better.

Thinking of having to ride this weird thing back home, Yelena felt chills in her heart, and there was no trace of blood on her little face. Although her skin was originally unhealthy, it was not so pale that it was almost like a paper doll. the point.

Xia Lin took out the steel pipes and the mining rig from the truck body. Don’t ask why the agricultural site has mining equipment. After all, if you completely expect the ammonia ice mine dozens of light-years away to provide you with organic elements for synthetic fertilizers, you don’t have to do it. That's it - it's not a matter of making money or not, but a matter of brain problems.

Therefore, farms and agricultural colonies will be equipped with mining equipment. However, compared with professional drilling rigs in industrial and mining colonies, they can only be said to be at the level of agricultural machinery. They are mainly used to drill for ores such as phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrate. Some planets can also directly drill ammonia ice.

However, if the geographical conditions are good, for example, close to places rich in methane and ammonia like Saturn, you can also rely on external supplies. However, considering that ammonia ice asteroids and nitrogen are not common substances in the universe, the colony A drilling rig is necessary.

Besides, it is a drilling rig. In Xia Lin's eyes, this thing cannot be called mining equipment at all compared with the mining drilling rig that can drill into the mantle. It is a standard refrigerator-sized device. It is installed with a drill pipe and a laser. After the drill, it is about 4~5 meters high.

It is supported by three brackets, and the side is the mine outlet. Its mining working principle is to scan the stratum first, use laser to burn off those rocks that are too hard to reach the depth of the vein, and then start mechanical drilling and crushing.

It can only be installed on mine veins, and the amount of mining is not high. It can only be said that it is much more efficient than someone knocking with a pickaxe.

This is a partially exposed pyrite, which is very rare, because normally, pyrite is not very common in this kind of place where there are no volcanoes and no obvious ground fissures.

The pyrite oxidation zone is unstable, and it is easy to turn into limonite and goethite. Only in places where magma infiltrates frequently can there be pyrite veins on the exposed surface, and this phenomenon mainly occurs during volcanic eruptions. area.

Although he was very confused about the formation of such veins, Xia Lin still installed the mining machine, then took out the luggage in the car body, and set up a standard field tent in the nearby open space.

"Okay, this thing has to work all day, and it won't stop until this time tomorrow. We can go around and see if we can hunt any prey. It can be regarded as practical practice."

"Yeah!" Yelena obviously recovered, nodded while holding the gun, showing a faint smile.

"Speaking of which, is there a residential settlement nearby?" If possible, it is also feasible to obtain some supplies through trading. After all, you have to collect everything by yourself. If you do it yourself, the workload will be too much.

"I remember there was one in the past, but I don't know if it's still there now." Due to the existence of natural disasters, most people live a similar nomadic life. The purpose of living in pursuit of aquatic prey—well, this is an adjective, it may actually be moving in pursuit of source stone veins.

"In which direction, let's go and have a look, and collect something along the way, do you still remember the appearance of those wild vegetables and herbs?"

"Remember." Yelena nodded, pointing to a clump of unremarkable black fungi not far away from the roots of the tree and said, "That, black fungus, can be eaten, but it's very bitter."

"Oh, let me have a look." Xia Lin nodded, she didn't expect to find out when she came out, it seems that it is really a good idea to bring her along.

"Well, are you sure you can eat this? This thing contains metal components. Oh, it should be fine to eat a small amount. Well, let's collect it first. It seems that it can be used as a mineral to point to living things."

Xia Lin carefully stored this "black fungus" in the container, and was going to see if it could grow into metal-free edible fungus on the normal medium fermented with decayed wood chips.

Next, the two of them walked towards the settlements that Yelena remembered when they moved to the mine to avoid natural disasters. Along the way, Yelena would pull Xia Lin's arm from time to time, indicating that she found something useful in her memory.

"That, the one with slender grass leaves, can stop bleeding..." Xia Lin dug out a plant that looked like an orchid, and labeled it "Hemostatic Herb A-1".

"And that, if you eat bad stomach, you can eat that leaf"

"Huh? This thing contains a lot...forget it." Xia Lin labeled the vine plant as a "diarrhea herb".

"That wild vegetable is edible, the gray fluffy one, but it must be cooked thoroughly."

"Oh, the oxalic acid exceeds the standard, I suggest you don't eat it, in case calcium oxalate crystals form... Well, you can plant a little bit."

"Ah, that mushroom can't be eaten, it's poisonous!"

"I know, I deliberately." Xia Lin put the colorful mushrooms with "magic fungi" in his pocket, "Poisonous things also have a certain value."

Next, Yelena found fewer and fewer things, and they were all repetitive. Basically, she knew about so many useful plants and various fungi. Most of them were Xia Lin who asked her what it was, and she also asked her what it was. He could only stare blankly at the other party and shook his head.
