Chapter 156 Lack of raw materials
More than ten days later
World of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
Mainland Australia
The entire plain has become a large construction site. The originally green grass has been removed by large areas. Steel buildings with obvious metal texture and high-grade military cement buildings have begun to appear on the grassland.
Smart factories rose one after another, and started to operate their machinery under the abundant power supply of large Tesla magnetic energy power stations, turning one ton of steel, rare metals and other things into various parts for assembly, or refining them into alloys for secondary processing and production of certain parts and main bodies in intelligent special alloy factories.
The Western Australia iron ore, which was originally discovered after World War II, has now been connected by a railway. A large amount of high-purity iron ore mined one ton of mined has begun to be sent to the crushing workshop for the first rough processing.
More than 200,000 NNS-5 intelligent robots are exchanging hard work for the rapid development of the entire base. Various factories are being built, and the NNS-5 intelligent robots in military buildings perfectly demonstrate their value!
In fact, if it weren't for the production line and maintenance difficulties of the NSS-5 model robot, the multi-foot robot, which was originally a dedicated worker for the base, would have been eliminated by Liu Qi's order, instead of continuing to serve in the base.
Well, of course, there are also some of the core programs that Xingchen cannot crack the ns-5, and turn the "Three Laws of Robots" into the N.-5 intelligent robot bound to the entire intelligent program into a real killing machine rather than this kind of civilian robot.
Liu Qi, who was originally holding on to squeeze out the greatest value of these intelligent robots, learned that Xingchen had destroyed the 50th intelligent robot and still could not modify the core program settings, so he could only use these ns-5 intelligent robots that had been abandoned by humans as coolies and consumables.
According to Xingchen's prediction, these intelligent robots will be scrapped after three years of wear and tear.
However, three years are enough!
............
"Master, the small base has been fully built. Now, as long as the supply of raw materials is guaranteed, the base can supply 50,000 troops and more than 300,000 people! Please indicate the next goal!"
Xingchen, the rigid intelligent AI, began to report to Liu Qi and ask for Liu Qi's next order.
"call--"
Liu Qi, who was keeping a stone weighing at least hundreds of tons at a height of one meter, opened his eyes, let out a deep breath, then lowered the stone before standing up from the grass.
When Wang Yuyan, who was waiting, saw Liu Qi get up, she quickly stepped forward and wiped Liu Qi's forehead with a towel.
"'Stars', has the construction of a small base been completed? I will list the building structure diagram and various types of materials that can be produced now. Well, by the way, how much has the N-5 robots lost?"
Liu Qi was enjoying the beauty's costume while asking the stars on the virtual light screen.
"The ns-5 type robots lost 758 due to accidents and some damages. Among them, 561 of them were repaired after being pieced together. The remaining ones were used as parts and raw materials, and now there are 217,562 ns-5 type robots left!"
Xingchen projected a 3D base model and a table, while replying to Liu Qi's question.
"oh..."
Liu Qi is very indifferent to the losses of hundreds of robots. Anyway, it doesn’t matter how much the things you pick up are. In contrast, the situation of the newly built base is more concerned by Liu Qi, which is the foundation he values most.
The 3D model clearly marks the layout of the entire base, from civil facilities on the ground, factories, roads, pipelines, etc. to hidden military facilities underground, you can zoom in and out with your hands to view every relevant details.
For example, there are more than a dozen underground buildings with a floor of nearly 200 meters that can be viewed in the functions and introductions of each floor. Several railways worth tens of kilometers, along with the seaside shipyards and mines, are also marked directly on it.
The table on one side clearly shows the various military and civilian materials that can be produced in the entire base.
Various pistols, various bolt-action rifles, submachine guns, automatic rifles, light and heavy machine guns, sniper rifles...
20mm~37mm machine gun, 37mm anti-tank gun, 57mm artillery, mortar, mountain gun, field gun, howitzer, self-propelled artillery...
Jeep, military truck, tractor, gasoline truck, field cooking truck, medical care vehicle...
Armored personnel carriers, armored cars, light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, rhino tanks, grizzly tanks...
Wooden biplane, wooden monoplane, aluminum alloy spiral aircraft, jet fighter, helicopter, female deer transport aircraft...
Gunboats, torpedo boats, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines...
RGP rockets, anti-tank bazooka, car-mounted rocket launcher...
Various military uniforms, military food, medicines, leather shoes, belts, engineer shovels, knives, telescopes, military backpacks...
Various civilian products, clothes, shoes, small appliances, furniture, cars, bicycles...
Mechanical equipment, various machine tools, pipes, engineering vehicles, various mechanical parts...
All kinds of things basically appear in this table, and even computers, notebooks, etc. that were not originally available appeared on it because Liu Qi had corresponding manufacturing technology and information.
However, except for those steel products, most items that can be produced show a lack of corresponding material prompts, indicating that although they can be produced, they cannot be produced because there are no corresponding raw materials.
Especially those weapons, many are marked as lacking one or more raw materials and cannot be produced, and even various ammunition cannot be produced due to the lack of launching drugs. Food, medicine and other things mean that there is no food - food, etc., but some canned meat are made from some animals and fish in Australia. The problem is that there is only salt, and MSG can only be eaten as cured meat. Not to mention medicine, it is not enough to collect, process and produce raw materials for medicine in more than ten days, not to mention that there are no raw materials for many chemical drugs.
"...So it is completely unrealistic to expect the base to produce things immediately now. OK, Xingchen, continue your work, speed up the survey of minerals and raw materials, and carry out material reserves and raw materials production!"
Liu Qi looked at the raw materials that expressed lack of only a headache. Now, Liu Qi decided to do it with a slap in his head and realized how much supporting things and supplies needed to build a base that is fully self-sufficient.
Not to mention the various foods, medicines, clothing, housing that humans must have. Just a base that can produce various weapons and equipment needs is enough to make people dazzling.
Steel is the most basic. All kinds of non-ferrous metals and chemical raw materials can make people who don’t know how to be dizzy. If it is manpower, the factory workers alone can only be dozens or millions of.
Although Liu Qi has exempted a lot of construction work by relying on the base car, the raw materials cannot be transformed out of thin air. A small amount of Liu Qi can be purchased or snatched. If it is replaced by mass production in the later stage, it will not be possible. Not to mention whether Liu Qi has so much effort to play this kind of robbery game, becoming a porter alone is not what Liu Qi wants.
After all, Liu Qi established a base to serve himself, not to become a porter who became a base.
Therefore, after reading it, Liu Qi has begun to consider how to solve the problem of raw material supply.
It’s okay to say that ore, wood, chemical materials, etc., ore has a 2035 version of global mineral materials, just let the base handle it directly. As for wood and other things, there are so many things in the original forests now. Just be careful not to process the more expensive wood as ordinary wood and replant the seedlings in time.
Although there are raw materials for chemical raw materials, it obviously takes a cycle from collecting raw materials to transport them to the processing plant to convert them into finished products after various processing and conversion to the finished product, and it cannot be done in one go.
In contrast, livestock and plants that take months or even years to obtain profits such as grain, livestock, wool, fur, cotton, beans, etc. are the headache for Liu Qi. Fortunately, the N.-5 robot that acts as laborers is not a flesh and blood body, and does not require food, drink, defecation, etc., otherwise Liu Qi would have the desire to die now.
"Damn... Australia's main crops are wheat, barley, oilseeds, peanuts, cotton, sugar cane, fruits, and the main livestock are cattle, sheep, horses and rabbits??tmd It seems that I have to be an agricultural porter once..."
Liu Qi looked at the various types of plant species and animal animals that were missing, and he sweared very simply.
Although these things are ordinary, it is not so easy to raise them all and send them to the World of Tianlong Babu, especially when Liu Qi doesn't want to make any genetically modified wheat, genetically modified peanuts and other nuts crops here.
"Xingchen, do you have planting and grazing procedures in your program?"
Suddenly, Liu Qi, who was cursing, remembered a key question: Does Xingchen have these civilian planting, grazing, fishing, and collection procedures? If there is no such thing as a joke, it will be a big deal.
"There are relevant procedures that can be directly managed by mechanization, but there is currently a lack of seeds and livestock!"
"Okay, Xingchen, ready to continue to receive the ns-5 robot and a batch of seeds, livestock!"...
Then in the next few days, Liu Qi spent a lot of money to purchase pure natural crop seeds and some high-quality livestock cubs from other worlds to the Tianlong world.
As for the NSS-5 robot, the abandoned robot on the Chicago Coast has completely disappeared from the world of "Public Enemy of the Mechanical", leaving only some wreckage in place. (To be continued.)
