Knocking wonders from the space station

The discovery of two strategic resources made Lu Feng ecstatic.

It can be said that before I have even set foot in this new world, these cute big snails come to give me a housewarming gift.

What a joy!

However, killing snails and exploding mines should not be done all the time. It is wrong to catch all the squid.

Or find a way to keep these snails in captivity, so that you won't even need to refining the ore.

Or search the habitat of these snails to find the source of the ore, and then mine and refine it manually.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the specifics need to be investigated before making a decision.

…

Six hours later, the two defensive walls of the outpost were completed, and the wall made of military alloy tightly protected the outpost.

It is like a pure land circled by human beings in a crisis-ridden valley.

Eight 15-meter-high automatic turrets behind the wall have also been deployed. These 4-unit 75mm coil guns are powerful and can be used both high and flat. They automatically track enemies and fire. The energy is temporarily supplied by energy coins and will be converted into geothermal power stations in the future.

Supply energy.

With these powerful turrets, Lu Feng finally felt relieved for the time being.

The apron and factory building are still under construction, so there are still dozens of SCVs staying. When they are completed, a Heron heavy transport boat will come to transport them to the next construction site.

Next, there are 5 more stabilizing devices that need to be deployed.

The three Pelican transport boats took off again and flew to exploration point 4.

With the previous experience, the next detection will be much more calm, at least I won't be frightened by some strange creatures emerging from the ground.

For example, while exploring target point No. 7, the exploration team encountered a rock giant.

This thing is about the size of a tank. It usually disguises itself as a big rock. When humans get close to it, it suddenly comes to life, shocking the people around it.

Fortunately, it is very bulky and cannot catch up with human powered armor, so the threat level is very low.

The giant rock beast is really hard, even harder than the lava snail. It took three gunboats to bomb in turn before finally destroying one.

After testing, its hard shell actually contains a large amount of titanium!

In other words, this thing is equipped with titanium alloy armor...

No wonder it’s so hard!

But the good news is that titanium ore around the base has also been found.

Everyone finally understood.

Instead of using conventional methods to prospect for minerals bit by bit in the future, it is better to look for those native creatures. If these creatures can survive in the Ash Continent, they will inevitably come into contact with various minerals, and there will always be various metal elements precipitated in their bodies.

If you are lucky, every time you find a native creature, you will most likely get a clue to a rare mineral.

Compared with the future development prospects of the colony, the risks of encountering native organisms are not worth mentioning.

Lu Feng thought so at the time.

As a result, on the third day of exploration, he had successfully deployed 5 crustal stabilization devices and corresponding outposts, leaving only the last one.

However, this time we encountered a group of rather violent native creatures - liquid moths.

This species is also a lava creature and spends most of its time living in magma lakes.

When they are disturbed by human activities, they will rise to the surface of the liquid and use the liquid in the surrounding environment to form an exoskeleton-like shell for themselves.

In a magma lake, this shell is naturally constructed of magma, which not only has a high temperature, but also can absorb a large amount of kinetic energy.

Their attack method is not as harmless as the previous stone monsters. They will spit fireballs, and each fireball can cause a large explosion.

They wander along the lava lake around Point 18.

These are the only survey points left, and they must be cleared in order to complete the stabilizer deployment here.

Unfortunately, the firepower of the Marines and gunboats was not enough to destroy them, and it was very dangerous to even get close. Lu Feng had no choice but to suspend his exploration and return home.

That night, Lu Feng rushed to the institute.

After the two sides combined their efforts, the final solution was to use rapid refrigerant to cool and solidify the opponent's shell to the point where ordinary bullets can shatter it.

The fourth day passed by in a hurry.

On the morning of the fifth day, Lu Feng led the team once again to appear in the sky above point 18. This time, a total of four Heron-class heavy transport boats were dispatched, carrying liquid nitrogen produced in an emergency.

After alarming the snake, a large number of liquid moths emerged from the surface of the magma, stood upright like goblets, and spit fireballs into the air.

The fireball flew hundreds of meters before starting to fall. After all, the range could not be compared with human weapons.

"Start spraying liquid nitrogen!"

Soon, a large amount of liquid nitrogen was poured down, and a large amount of white gas instantly emerged after meeting the high-temperature environment below.

However, Shen Tang had prepared enough this time, and even though a lot of it was lost in the process, a considerable amount of liquid nitrogen was still poured onto the liquid moth in the end.

Soon after, a group of ice sculptures briefly appeared on the surface of the magma.

"Now! Don't wait for them to melt~"

The soldiers opened fire immediately, and the intensive firepower hit the ice sculpture. The ice sculpture immediately shattered, and the liquid moths frozen in it also fell apart and died.

Unfortunately, because it died on the magma, there is no way to recover the body of the liquid moth.

Fortunately, the threat was successfully eliminated.

With a loud bang in the sky, the last crustal stabilization device was airdropped and firmly inserted on the island in the middle of the lake on No. 18.

Still the same process.

Drill into the ground, fix it, build an outpost...

However, the defense level of this outpost is higher than the previous five, and it is also equipped with a large number of liquid nitrogen grenades to kill liquid moths that appear in the future.

It's day 7.

Finally, all six stabilizing devices were stabilized, all completed self-tests and energy filling before starting, and there were enough internal inverter particles to start operation.

"I am Lu Feng. I order the crustal stabilization devices No. 1 to No. 6 to start the countdown, 5...4..."

"start up!"

With a command, six invisible waves spread out from the annularly arranged stabilizers, and a large number of inverter particles were driven into the underground magma layer. Immediately, a considerable chain reaction occurred, and lava began to solidify in the center.

The underground lava passage narrows rapidly under the action of the stabilizer, and the flow rate of the lava inside begins to slow down, darkens, and finally solidifies, becoming part of the rocky earth.

Over time, the readings from the instrument located in the center of the construction site increased rapidly.

This indicates that the ground under your feet is slowly thickening, the crustal movement is gradually stagnating, and the lava is being repelled to the surrounding ground channels in other directions.

Viewed from high altitude,

The vast area of ​​tens of thousands square kilometers in the center of the Ashes Continent dimmed, and the fiery red color that burned forever was gone.

Correspondingly,

A new round of lava eruptions began around the area.

This is a normal reaction caused by energy being channeled away, and it will subside soon.

After 24 hours,

The land finally stabilized.

A vast colonial construction site has officially taken shape!
