Chapter 381 Mining Industry (Part 2)

After receiving the order, a total of 1,000 mine planting brigade entered Area 42. After the emergence of mine planting machines, a unique machine in China, it immediately formed a scale in the mine planting troops. One thousand units are a brigade. So far, 30 million units have been built, and according to one hundred thousand as a combination, plus more than one thousand warships of less than two thousand, a mine planting fleet was formed. The entire mine planting troops had 300 fleets, and their scope was responsible for more than 6,000 ore planting stars spread throughout Taici.

The mine planting fleet does not stay in one star body and stop moving. Each fleet has to take care of more than 6,000 star bodies. After a star body has done what it should do, it will hand over the care work to the left-behind personnel. The entire fleet will go to other places to repeat the same work again.

Area 42 is very large, with an area of ​​no less than three million square kilometers. One thousand mining plants are immediately scattered into it. However, after each mining planting machine is responsible for a piece of area, the workload is not too large. Luo Hu and Li Xiao and a group of colleagues started betting again, but this time the workload is small, but it takes much more time than sowing. Sowing can see the results in one or two days or even the same day, but cleaning is not enough. So the few people set the scores and decide the winner and loser after seven days, and they all started to work hard.

The flight speed of the mine planter is very fast, at least much faster than that of civilian airships, and it is also easier and more flexible in operation. Luo Hu first opened the micro detector and carefully checked the area about ten square kilometers in size, and classified and marked the remnants of the star tree that need to be recovered on the ground and underground in this area. After doing these, the mine planter flew slowly across the ground and started to recycle the substance on the ground.

The first star planting was a global model, which covered the entire planet without any misses, and the thickest star tree covers hundreds of meters! That spectacular situation is completely conceivable. Fortunately, the star tree will shrink and tighten after it automatically dies, and it can also set up the material that needs to be recovered, so that the cleaning work will not be so troublesome, and it mainly focuses on these large piles of residues.

I saw Luo Hu slowly driving the mine planting machine to these tens of meters high and dragging the star tree residue, and then stretching out a laser cutting exciter from the bottom. Thousands of laser light emitted, accurately dividing the stems that were 500 meters in size and several meters thick, until they were cut into cylinders with a length of two or three meters. The exciter was retracted, and then thousands of long-arm graspers in pliers were extended, like picking up beans, grabbing one at a time, and quickly brought into the inside of the mine planting. The arm of the grasper was very long, and even the cylinders that were several hundred meters away from it were cut, they were firmly grasped one by one and brought back.

After all, the mine planting machine is only 100 meters long and fifty meters wide, and it is not enough to fit these large cylinders. After cutting it in one go, the mine planting machine needs to run back and forth several times. However, when the mine planting machine arrives here, the supporting transport ships also come to dock next to it. There must be a transport boat next to the area where the three to five mine planting machines are responsible for, and there must be a transport ship next to the ten mine planting machines. At this distance, the mine planting machine can reach it with an acceleration. After the mine planting machine is directly entered into the transport ship, the star tree residues are directly dumped into the large warehouse that has been modified in the ship. In less than a minute, the cleared mine planting machine can return to the next collection.

The remnants of star trees on the ground are relatively easy to clean. Under the ground, if they exist in the form of thick rhizomes, it is a little troublesome. When the global star tree was planted for the first time, more than 20 star trees were sown, and six of them were species that gathered matter under the ground after they died on their own. After all, there are too many ore species in a star body, and they want to be all on the ground. At present, China's technology cannot be achieved. Oh, by the way, the Star Tree Research Institute has already selected more star tree species and has begun to study whether all star trees can be evolved and optimized into plants on the ground. There are some results now, but it will take time to reach the level of maturity.

After a day, Luo Hu collected all the ground materials in a piece of area around him and started the collection operation under the ground. This time, he started the cutting device and the gripper. He first extended the gripper into the ground and lifted the remaining rhizomes out. The laser cutter cooperated at the same time, and cut off the piece when exposed. The gripper then brought the broken piece back into the mine planting machine. Another new machine is also used here, which was originally used to dig soil nests during sowing, but here, it can also loosen the ground along the extension direction of the rhizomes, so that the gripper can lift it out after it catches the target. It is considered to be a two-purpose use.

The material under the ground is much slower to collect, but after the ground is cleaned and unblocked, it is still very fast to do it. The area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers that Luo Hu is responsible for is not digging every inch. There are at most one to two material gathering points per square kilometer, and just dig them out. After ten days of use, Luo Hu's work was finally completed, which was the fastest among the people who bet, and naturally he also won the bonus of free drinking.

Luo Hu and Li Xiao both served in the 54th brigade of the third fleet of the second mine planting fleet. It is called the mine planting engineers, which belongs to the planet's ground soldiers. They are different from the space troops responsible for starting the transport ships and the space troops of more than a thousand warships outside the planet. There are not many ground troops in a mine planting fleet that are truly on the planet. Except for the airship soldiers with more than a thousand people, they are driving armed airships for care, then there are engineers of Luo Hu and others, and the proportion of warships in the entire fleet will not exceed 1%.

.The mine planting force is one of the most special and secret forces in China after all, and security work is very important. A fleet will have more than a thousand seven-level warships, which is to protect the ground soldiers and also carry out transportation tasks when they transfer the ground soldiers. Only with their protection can a mine planting force quickly take care of the more than 30 star targets it is responsible for, and can ensure the safety of the troops while obtaining a large amount of resources.

The transport fleet under the mine planting fleet is only responsible for transporting materials for mine planting machines. As for how these materials are transported out of the star system and to more concentrated warehouses, it is not something they need to worry about. This is the work of another transport fleet that appears regularly, and some are equivalent to the difference between a navy in a river and a navy in the ocean.

In fact, whether it is planting, agriculture, mining industry, or industry, as long as it is located in Taicitang, there is no need to worry about transportation. The transportation department is an independent department. Under Du Guosheng's jurisdiction, most of the active Class B troops are responsible for this matter. In the peaceful era, the economy will be in charge and can also allow soldiers to sail more. It is also a good way to be familiar with the operation process.

After completing the task in Area 42 and warranty for the mine planting machine, Luo Hu's 54th Brigade took over the task of sowing in this area. Because the types of star trees increased, the seeds sown this time were very different from the plants and the last one, which led to the different sowing methods. However, after a manual sent from the research institute was sent to each person, he only needed to input them into his own mine planting machine and he could operate properly immediately.

The growth of star trees is very fast, which is completely different from the understanding of plants in the universe: if it is a seed, after sowing, it will be seen whether it survives or germinates for up to five days; after germination, it will be able to grow with the naked eye. The research institute has vigorously optimized the growth rate of all seeds. Although it is not as good as Han Zhen’s personal treatment, it can reach a growth rate of a hundred times a hundred times. It is also extremely shocking! One month, only one month, the star tree seeds can reach the juvenile stage and enter the growth stage.

Although the star body where Luo Hu is located is a secondary star, and there is no water source, it has led to the planting of star trees on all surfaces for mining; although this star body is more than ten times larger than ordinary administrative planets, it has also led to the cultivation task of more than ten times larger; but with the almost uninterrupted work of more than 100,000 mining machines in the mine planting fleet, it only took a month and a half. After removing all the remnants of the first star tree, hundreds of star tree seeds and plants were planted at all positions of the star body, and appropriate inspections were conducted after planting to eliminate the types of star trees that did not survive or were repelled.

Half of the thousand warships in the fleet landed on the surface of the planet. While the mine-planting workers were still inspecting, they loaded the ships for transportation and took them away. These transport ships will be sent to the next star body by the warship in advance. These seven-level warships have been modified, greatly strengthening the loading space of the warehouse. Even the big guys thousands of meters above the transport ship can swallow several ships at a time.
