Knocking wonders from the space station

During the natural disaster period a few days ago, Lu Feng asked the Xinhuo to help Zhong Mingzhao clear out the sandworms in the surrounding areas.

After a lot of trouble, although only two sandworms were finally confirmed to be killed, the sandworm disaster was indeed contained. It seemed that these big bugs had wisdom and became honest after being beaten.

After the surrounding environment calmed down, the Chinese colony began to expand aggressively.

Because of the large number of immigrants from Earth, the number of people working in the Chinese colony has exploded, and the corresponding consumption has also increased dramatically. They must convert population pressure into productivity as soon as possible to make the colony's cake bigger.

The most important of these is undoubtedly land reclamation and farming.

Food is the most important thing for the people, especially people from China. They feel panicked when they don’t have food in their hands.

Therefore, with the assistance of Zhong Mingzhao's infrastructure system, large-scale desert experimental fields and Gobi planting greenhouses appeared on the periphery of the colony. They looked neat and tidy, filled with sprouts sprouting from the soil, which looked quite gratifying.

The reclamation efficiency far exceeds that of other parties, and even Shentang, which has higher productivity, is difficult to achieve.

This is the powerful professional ability of the auxiliary system.

The infrastructure system is also called the farming system, which focuses on the stable development, operation, and accumulation of power.

Zhong Mingzhao can use energy coins to exchange for infrastructure-related projects at extremely low discounts, including materials, seeds, blueprints, construction machinery, prefabricated components, and even industrial finished products, complete buildings, etc., saving a lot of time.

The larger the scale of infrastructure construction under Zhong Mingzhao's rule, the greater the discounts and special rewards that can be obtained.

His current discount is 30% off, which is the same as Yogi's reward doubling system, and it's not too outrageous.

Once the scale spreads and the colony embarks on a virtuous cycle, Zhong Mingzhao can build a powerful industrial empire, control huge productivity, and become an interstellar manufacturing center.

If the Wonders are regarded as a more demanding infrastructure project, then this system is somewhat similar to the Wonders system. The essence is to make things and do less trouble.

Although Lu Feng did do a lot of things...

But these days, if we don’t make trouble, there will be no room for development, and it will be difficult to compete for precious resources.

If Lu Feng doesn't seize more benefits while he's still in trouble, it will be difficult to reap the benefits when he really encounters those monster-like dominant civilizations.

…

In this way, the first day of the insect disaster passed by in a jittery atmosphere.

During the day the next day, the world was still peaceful.

Although they knew that there was some danger waiting for an opportunity, all parties still had no choice but to continue to operate the colony under the highest level of vigilance.

That night, an alarm suddenly sounded in the main control room of the Shenzhou Colony.

"Beep! The underground reading is abnormal!"

The soldiers on duty were immediately alert. Three seconds later, the soldier in charge of monitoring turned pale.

"It's sandworms! Number 7! Attacking from 3 directions!"

"Hold!"

The major on duty couldn't help but yelled, "Sandworms are considered insects, right?"

This sandworm riot can be said to have been planned for a long time. It actually launched attacks from all directions at the same time. The situation in the Chinese colony was in an instant crisis.

"Sound the alarm! Activate the No. 1 interception plan and activate the peripheral underground interception network!"

After the natural disaster, scientists from the Shenzhou Colony, together with Yang Ying, conducted an anatomy and study on the bodies of the two killed sandworms. After in-depth understanding, they formulated many targeted plans.

With the help of infrastructure systems, defense solutions were quickly deployed and now come in handy.

According to research, sandworms rely on surface vibrations to hunt underground. The vibrations caused by human colonies are too huge, which seriously interferes with the senses of sandworms, so they are attacked by sandworms.

The geological environment of the Wasteland Continent is very unique.

It is a mixture of sandy desert, gravel desert and stony desert.

Take the Chinese colony as an example.

It is located on a high ground in the wilderness. The base is a solid rock formation, covered with thick gravel, coarse sand and compacted soil. Although it can be built, it is very difficult to plant.

And around the highlands,

The hard surface is interspersed with vast yellow sand and weathered rocks.

Areas of quicksand dotted the area, passing through various landforms like rivers.

Moving along with it are the moving sand dunes that follow the wind. They often cover up the originally different landforms, making the quicksand hidden in them even more hidden and deadly.

These sandy deserts are the main passages for sandworms. Quicksand is like gentle water flow to them, and they move in it like a fish in water.

The gravelly desert on both sides is not what sandworms like, and they need some effort to dig through it.

As for stony deserts, sandworms are the most annoying.

It's not that they can't dig, some of the minerals they need are in these areas, but every time they dig, it's like dealing with a hard bone, which requires a lot of effort and even damages many of the teeth used for digging.

It is truly "gritting your teeth and swallowing it in your stomach".

It is for this reason that the attack of sandworms on the Chinese colony is quite strange. Why do they have to go through the thankless task of digging the rocks under the colony?

What rare minerals are there?

It's a pity that Zhong Mingzhao sent people to conduct all-round exploration, but except for some good-quality copper ore and iron ore, no other discoveries were found.

But this is not something that needs to be considered at the moment, the sandworms have already arrived.

In the Shenzhou Colony, rows of rocket launchers have been erected neatly, aiming in the direction in which the sandworms are coming.

Soon, several rocket launchers opened fire.

The rocket roared away, soared high, and then penetrated into the yellow sand at an almost vertical angle without exploding.

This is a ground-penetrating bait bomb specially developed by China.

After these warheads penetrate the ground, they will emit vibrations that make the sandworms sensitive, attracting the sandworms to swallow them, and then explode inside the sandworms.

This was the bomb's first actual combat use.

In the midst of great expectations,

Boom——!

A pillar of sand was thrown high, mixed with a large amount of rock-like minced meat. The yellow sand rolled, and a severely injured sandworm rushed out of the ground like a beached whale.

Without the complete cylindrical unloading structure, the severely damaged sandworms must get to the shallow sand layer as soon as possible, otherwise the thick sand will crush them to death.

"Group 3, Group 4, fire!"

Immediately afterwards, the other two groups of rocket launchers roared and opened fire, and tons of high-explosive ammunition mixed with tanzanite powder was poured on the injured sandworm. The terrifying power tore it into pieces in an instant.

Even the underground overlords of the wasteland are still powerless to fight back when faced with human technological weapons.

Unless, they can evolve like real Zerg...

"Don't relax, there are other sandworms!"

The major continued to direct the battle. Fortunately, other sandworms did not lose their memory due to the death of their kind, and were defeated one after another by the same means as humans.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the other party is not intelligent.

Level 4 insect infestation...that's it?
