Wasteland Farming is To Save

Leaning in front of the manufacturing table, Chen Wangping added bullets to the machine gun off-road vehicle while waiting for the manufacture of the first-class mechanical crystal.

While building it, he was also thinking.

"Right now, the mechanical technology has been upgraded again, and the progress of the life technology is a bit slow."

"After I'm done with the king carp seedlings, I'll go to the Dusk Forest to catch up with the progress, just in time to find some more animals that can be farmed."

Half an hour later, the number of first-level mechanical crystals reached one hundred.

Chen Wangping hurriedly walked over to remove it, opened the technology tree, selected the collection series and clicked to upgrade.

【Congratulations on your successful upgrade of acquisition technology】

[You have unlocked the collection series [Electric Mining Machine] blueprint, [Level 1 Electric Mechanical Arm] blueprint, [Level 1 Conveyor Belt], [Wooden Storage Box], [Level 2 Mineral Detector] blueprint]

[Congratulations on successfully upgrading all mechanical technology trees to level two]

[You got a reward: blueprint energy saving improvement]

[Blueprint energy saving improvement: All upgraded mechanical technology blueprints with the same function can be built with energy-saving machines of the old version, reducing the materials required for building]

Looking at the blueprints that appeared in front of him, Chen Wangping's eyes lit up.

Give a pillow when you are dozing off!

Good power mining machine!

Although this thing may consume more energy than thermal mining machines.

But it's definitely less polluting than a thermal miner when it's running.

Just find a balance so that the bugs don't attack the mining site but only the power generation boiler area.

Then only the power generation boiler area needs to be protected, and the workload of centralized protection will be much less.

As for the circuit problem, judging from the previous situation, these spider mice still don't know how to damage the cables. Anyway, there are so many tube bugs on the Blackstone Mine slope. If you have time, you can do some sweeping and put on some cable protection covers.

With the automatic wiring of the poles, it is much easier to lay out the circuit.

Moreover, all the mechanical technology trees are now upgraded to level two, and there is an additional blueprint energy saving improvement reward!

Maybe you can directly use the thermal energy mining machine to transform the electric mining machine!

Chen Wangping quickly clarified his thoughts,

Click on the drawing of the electric mining machine to see it.

【Electric Mining Machine】

【Material: 【Circuit Board】×10, 【Iron Gear】×5, 【Iron Plate】×10】

【Processing method: secondary manufacturing table】

[Remarks: The pollution of the electric mining machine is very small when it is working]

[Energy Saving Drawing: Electric Mining Machine]

[Materials: [Thermal Mining Machine] × 1, [Circuit Board] × 10, [Iron Plate] × 5]]

【Processing method: secondary manufacturing table】

【Remarks: Energy-saving renovation, resource recycling】

After reading the drawings, Chen Wangping recalled that when he built the thermal mining machine, he put a stone furnace, five iron plates, and five iron gears.

Comparing the original drawings of the electric mining machine with the energy-saving drawings, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the materials of the original thermal mining machine were perfectly utilized.

"This blueprint is good, it's really energy-saving, and in this way, the attributes of the rock worm skull that I used before may also be inherited."

Chen Wangping walked to the secondary manufacturing station with great interest, took out a thermal energy mining machine and put it in to build it.

When building it, he found that even a damaged thermal mining machine can be used as an energy-saving retrofit, as long as its arms and legs are all in place. If it is not complete, it needs to be supplemented with some iron plates or gears.

[The electric mining machine is under construction, it is estimated that it will take ten minutes]

After arranging the process, Chen Wangping looked at the first-level manufacturing platform in the manufacturing area and thought: "Now these new drawings require a second-level manufacturing platform. It seems that the first-level manufacturing platform can't keep up with the pace and needs to build more steel plates. Gradually escalate.”

and many more.

Now that the energy-saving blueprints have been upgraded, is the blueprint of the secondary manufacturing table more energy-efficient?

He opened the technology tree and took a look:

[Energy Saving Drawing: Secondary Manufacturing Bench]

【Material: 【First-class manufacturing table】×1, 【Steel plate】×5, 【Iron gear】×5, 【Circuit board】×2】

【Processing method: manufacturing table】

[Remarks: The second-level manufacturing platform is enough to use the third-level technology]

Compared with before energy saving, the number of iron gears is reduced by five and the number of circuit boards is also reduced by three, which makes it easier to build.

Energy-saving renovation is really a good thing.

It's easier to save resources now.

Chen Wangping walked over, arranging the task of upgrading the first-level manufacturing platform and thinking, "Since the mechanical technology tree has rewards after lighting up one level, then the life technology tree will definitely have rewards after lighting up one level, so we have to speed up the pace."

After listening to Tang Xihe's words last night, he also thought about it and found that it was true.

There seems to be everything in Huo Niu City, but basic industries and basic industrial lines do not exist at all, and even clothes are bought from other cities by merchants and then resold.

As for why those cities can make clothes, it should be made with the clothes-making machines found in the ruins.

Chen Wangping shook his head, brilliance can only rely on himself, and he just needs to work hard to develop his base into everything!

After scheduling the process, the secondary fabrication stand shows that the first electric mining machine has been built.

Chen Wangping took off the electric mining machine and checked it.

The size of the electric mining machine is similar to that of the thermal mining machine, and the shape is basically the same, except that the previous feeding port has become a terminal.

【Electric Mining Machine☆】

【Usage: Electric mining machine can excavate minerals in the area】

【Power: 8kW】

[Mining speed: 50 blocks/H]

[Durability: 3000/3000]

[Special Effects - Drilling: Increase mining efficiency by 10%]

【Current Mode: Manual Filling】

[Outlet 1: No material pipe]

【Remarks: Electric mining machine needs power supply during installation】

After reading the properties of the electric mining machine, Chen Wangping felt a little helpless.

This thing is a big power hog.

One is 8 kilowatts. According to the current power generation capacity of the base, if you put 20 of them, you don't need to do anything else.

Fortunately, the mining speed is very fast, and with the bonus of rock worm skulls, a total of 55 pieces per hour can be reached.

"It seems that the construction of steam generators will continue."

Chen Wangping made a note of this, preparing to check the three logistics-related drawings.

[First-class electric mechanical arm]

【Material: 【Circuit Board】×1, 【Iron Gear】×5, 【Iron Plate】×5】

【Processing method: manufacturing table】

[Remarks: Electric robotic arms can grab resources and move]

【First-class conveyor belt】

【Material: 【Iron Gear】×1, 【Iron Plate】×1】

【Processing method: manufacturing table】

【Remarks: With it, you don’t have to run around】

【Wooden storage box】

【Material: 【Wood】×10】

【Processing method: manufacturing table】

[Note: The wooden storage box can only store a single material]

After reading these three drawings, Chen Wangping breathed a sigh of relief.

These three drawings are really timely.

Seeing that the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, if you run around by yourself every day, you don't need to practice every day.

Now that there are robotic arms, conveyor belts and storage boxes, after careful planning, the minerals can be moved.

Of course, this is the same as installing the electric poles of the electric mining machine. You can't rush it, you can only do it slowly.

He walked to the manufacturing table and made one of each type, and found that this thing was built very fast, only 30 seconds.

The finished electric robotic arm looks similar to the robotic arm on the manufacturing bench, except that the functional components will be much less, only the grasping function.

The first-level conveyor belt is similar to the conveyor belt in the ordinary factory. It is five meters long and has some switches on the surface, which can change the curvature of some conveyor belts to adapt to different terrains.

Their properties are simple:

[First-class electric mechanical arm]

[Use: Sorting resources]

【Power: 500W】

【Durability: 2000/2000】

[Note: Simple means reliable]

【First-class conveyor belt】

【Use: Transport resources】

【No energy consumption required】

【Transportation speed: 6m/s】

[Durability: 5000/5000]

[Note: the conveyor belt is ready to use]

【Wooden storage box】

[Use: to store materials]

[Storage: 500 (single substance)]

[Durability: 1000/1000]

[Note: After the wooden storage box is broken, some materials will be lost]

"One robotic arm has a power of 500W, and a single transport line requires two robotic arms, one for grabbing and one for placement, that is to say, a transport line requires one kilowatt of power in the slowest case, but the conveyor belt cannot only be equipped with A robotic arm, superimposed, consumes a lot of power."

Chen Wangping nodded after a little calculation.

Still have to continue to increase power generation ah.

Energy has always been the threshold restricting development.

Chen Wangping took out a small notebook and recorded, "For now, we need to upgrade the manufacturing station first, then build ten steam generators, use the remaining five boilers, and then find large coal, iron, and copper mines. To lay the circuit of the electric mining machine, as well as the conveyor belt, the robotic arm, and the storage box for storing the materials. The general outline is initially laid out, and the remaining parts are supplemented according to actual needs.”

To clarify his thoughts, he arranged tasks one by one on the newly created manufacturing platform.

As for how to find big mines.

Chen Wangping set his sights on the last blueprint after the collection technology was upgraded:

[Energy Saving Drawing: Secondary Mineral Detector]

【Material: 【Mineral Detector】×1, 【Steel Plate】×1, 【Magnetic Coil】×30】

[Building method: manufacturing table]

[Note: The secondary mineral detector can detect minerals that are not on the veins]

"Can you detect minerals that are not on the veins? This detection ability is good, no wonder you need so many magnetic coils."

Chen Wangping quickly prepared the materials and put on the dark blue version of the mineral detector and the dark blue steel plate.

Before building it, he recalled the things that he was sometimes inconvenient to take out when he used the mineral detector before, so he simply threw two pieces of soft blue stones in, and adjusted the shape of this thing into a picture that could be carried on the right ear. Monocle.

[The secondary mineral detector is under construction, it is estimated to take five minutes]

After reading all the drawings, Chen Wangping was full of energy.

In the early stage, you are busy for a while, and in the mid-term, you can automatically collect and create the whole process!

Fully automatic is the ultimate romance of industry!

rush rush!

Five minutes later, the second-level mineral detector was completed, and the shape was the monocle adjusted by Chen Wangping, which looked very inconspicuous.

【Secondary Mineral Detector☆☆☆(Dark Blue Version)】

[Detectable mineral types: coal, copper, iron, silicon, minerals to be added]

【Power consumption: 1kW】

【Detection sphere radius: 2000m】

[Special Effects - Sound of Ore: The secondary mineral detector can display the change in the quantity of the mine in the past two months]

[Special effects - analysis and detection: The secondary mineral detector can analyze unknown ores first and then detect the corresponding location]

[Note: Only minerals that can be mined safely are good minerals]

Chen Wangping picked up his eyes and put them on, and by the way pulled a wire to connect the mineral detector to the solar crystal hood.

This thing consumes too much power, a whole kilowatt.

When connected, you don't have to provide your own energy.

Simply perfect.

After connecting the power supply, he reached out and clicked the switch on the glasses, and lines of surrounding minerals appeared on the lenses.

The upgraded detector can detect a distance of two kilometers with itself as the center of the sphere.

Chen Wangping looked around, and soon discovered several mines with large reserves of coal, iron and copper mines. They were located so deep that no one had ever dug them.

According to the scale of the icon, the newly discovered mines have a storage capacity of more than 100,000 pieces, even if the utility pole conveyor belt is laid, it is not a loss.

Besides, utility pole conveyor belts are also recyclable.

He took out his notebook and drew a picture, and settled on three locations.

After setting the location, Chen Wangping glanced at the hard-working little Tiemu outside and smiled, "The position is confirmed now, then after the little Tiemu has blasted the rock wall outside, let it trim the mine tunnel together and blow up one. Straight out of the mine."

It's really good for the little ironwood to advance, its fire whip is better than dynamite.

In addition to the mines, Chen Wangping saw some different information in his field of vision.

That is to say, just as the remarks said, he can see that there are several ores scattered by himself next to the manufacturing table in these mineral distributions.

Looking at it, Chen Wangping suddenly had a bold idea. "Since these ores can be collected, then push them out in the same way. Can the ores dug by others be detected?"

Since there are so many crystal balls in Lingdian, it means that there is either silicon ore or a way to obtain silicon ore.

If you can find the silicon ore in the Lingdian, you can save yourself from digging it.

Now that there is a need for automation, the higher the power generation of the base, the better, and solar panels must be built as soon as possible.

He looked at the time, it was already half past one in the afternoon, so in the evening, he would finish the matter of the sturgeon dragon fish king first, and then find an opportunity to go out for a walk tomorrow.

Anyway, the golden eagle is fast now, you can run after you grab it.

After temporarily digesting the information about collecting technology, Chen Wangping was very motivated and ran to the manufacturing platform to implement the strategy just now.

four hours later.

The ten boilers by the underground river were running at full power at this time, driving twenty steam generators to continuously generate electricity, and the two rows of gunpoint walls dutifully protected the boilers.

Chen Wangping himself carried a small iron wood, laying telephone poles and conveyor belts all the way along the blasting road, and was very busy.

Right now, he starts from the base and starts to lay the conveyor belt towards the coal mine rich ore point. After another 30 meters, the conveyor belt will be laid, and the telephone pole will need to be laid for another 100 meters in the direction of the underground river. The person is in a herringbone shape, and the end point of the route is the same.

Continue to pick up six conveyor belts, and the end of the conveyor belt has already extended into the coal mine.

Chen Wangping took out the Qinggang mining pick and dug a coal mine, then took out an electric mechanical arm and installed it at the end of the conveyor belt, reaching out to power it up.

After the electricity is available, the indicator light on the electric mechanical arm lights up, and the mechanical claw moves twice and starts to work.

I saw that its mechanical arm gradually extended, and then the mechanical claw grabbed the coal mine, and finally recovered the mechanical claw and placed the coal mine on the conveyor belt.

"buzzing"

At this time, the conveyor belt also hummed, and the speed was not bad, 6m/s.

Chen Wangping followed the coal mine all the way back to the base. When the coal mine reached the end of the conveyor belt, the electric mechanical arm that had been placed in advance began to run, grabbed the coal mine and put it into the stone furnace.

Ten wooden storage boxes are neatly arranged on the other side of the conveyor belt.

If the current stone furnace or crafting table does not need to put ore, then the electromechanical arm will put the resource in the storage box.

"After finishing these ten wooden storage boxes, there is no more wood at home. It seems that I have to go to Dusk Forest at night to chop down trees. Now that Brother Diao is also level 4, it should be no problem to stay on several floors outside Dusk Forest. "

After finishing this, Chen Wangping was also a little tired, so he lay down and rested for a while.

Of course, although he was physically tired, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Finally, an automated line has been created. In the future, the coal and metal ores in the furnace do not need to be added manually, so they can be smelted at full power, and the manufacturing efficiency will be greatly improved.

An industrial empire is just around the corner!

If you can find a machine that can mine magnetite, it will be easier for you.

After resting for a while, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Wangping took a bath, briefly roasted some beef jerky, ate two eggs, and brought something with him.

"Taobao, I went to the river to fish for sturgeon and dragonfish. That stuff is better than carp."

"Beep!"

As soon as he heard the food, the golden eagle was excited again.
