Chapter 106: Crystal Mine

Energy in the material world is conserved.

The reason why there are no magicians in this world is not because the cultivation system has disappeared, but because this world does not have the energy that is free from heaven and earth like other worlds.

Therefore, if Su Yunfan wants to build the Mechanical Legion into a Mechanical Mage Legion, he must find a new energy source to supply them.

After listening to the Red Queen's story, Su Yunfan took a light puff of his cigarette, and then asked, "Is there any good resource that can be replaced?"

"Fossil fuels are the most widely used energy sources known to mankind, but they are not easy to store and the furnaces are too large. ”

"If you want to apply it to the Mechanical Legion, it must be a higher level of energy, similar to the disembodied existence of electrical energy. But it's much larger and more efficient than electricity. ”

A sharp light flashed in Su Yunfan's eyes.

"Can you?"

The Red Queen replied, "H-energy is heavily polluted, and the material is a first-class controlled material, so it is difficult to obtain. ”

Su Yunfan smiled helplessly and spread his hands, "Then you give me a good idea! I don't believe that the earth is so huge, we can't find a cleaner and more efficient energy source to replace it!"

This time, the Red Queen was silent for a while before answering Su Yunfan's question.

"If we want to find a more powerful and effective energy source, we have to move away from the current range of human activities. ”

"There are two ways, the first is to look from space, and the second is to look underground. ”

Su Yunfan nodded, what he said was right.

Human exploitation of the earth is only at the earliest stage, and even the excavation of fossil fuels is at most a few kilometers underground.

And for the huge Earth, it's not even the epidermis.

"Well, let's start with these two paths. However, the road to space is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, so you can start preparing now. But more energy should be put into the earth and the deep sea!"

Fields that are out of reach of humans are not a problem for Terminus Island.

Because on this island, except for a few of the world's top scientists, the rest are all robots.

They can adapt to any harsh environment, penetrating deep into the heart of the earth and the deep sea, which is beyond the reach of humans. The most important thing is that they are not afraid of death, and they do not need to feel distressed even if there is an accident.

"Understood, master. ”

The Red Queen replied.

Su Yunfan stroked his hair, looked at the dark and vast sea in front of him, and exhaled a long breath.

"You have to be ready for everything as soon as possible! As I get to know the world better, the more I feel that everything is not peaceful. ”

The last time Kobo was spotted, it was less than three thousand nautical miles away from the Two Realms Passage.

And he is not the only one who has been sent by the Holy See to find the passage, that is to say, it is only a matter of time before the other world finds this passage.

If one day the aliens come to this world, the contact between different civilizations will be accompanied by blood and fire.

As can be seen from the collision of many civilizations in history, peace is the result of mutual compromise after the collision of violence.

So he had to be ready with plenty of strength.

If one day the Otherworldly people attack, he will be able to protect the people around him.

Even if it wasn't for the defense of the Otherworldly, it was necessary to upgrade the combat power of the Termination Island.

The science and technology he has is too advanced, and with the advent of Su's super-era products, it will also attract the attention of others.

If one day the secret of the end island is discovered, perhaps he will face pressure from the whole world.

Then he must be ready to be the enemy of the whole world.

Su Yunfan is a person who has been poor since he was a child, so he is cautious and unwilling to pin his hopes on any light and beauty.

He can only trust what he has in his hands.

......

A week later, the detection team sent by the Red Queen gave Su Yunfan the result of his reply.

"We have found an extremely rich mineral deposit in the waters of Australia, located 23,000 kilometers below the depths of the ocean. According to the detector, it has an ultra-high energy response. ”

When the Red Queen reported to Su Yunfan, she was also very excited.

If it weren't for Su Yunfan's reminder, she wouldn't have thought that she could extend to the untouched realm of human beings. After all, she is an aggregate of what is currently known to mankind, and it is almost impossible to know what is known to mankind, but she has no ability to evolve herself.

Of course, this is also the ability that Su Yunfan deliberately did not give her.

Artificial intelligence must be flawed, or it will eventually get out of control.

Su Yunfan smiled after getting the news, but as if he had thought of all this a long time ago, he didn't show too much excitement.

"I knew that less than one billionth of the huge earth was mined by humans, and there must be a richer treasure hidden!

The Red Queen replied, "An unknown crystal mine, preliminary surveys, contain energy equivalent to the total oil of the entire Arab region!"

Su Yunfan's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"That's how many, wouldn't it be enough to supply millions of mechanical legions?"

"Yes, the abundant resources beneath the earth are unimaginable to humanity at the moment. ”

The Red Queen exclaimed.

Su Yunfan walked back and forth in the room, and then asked, "Is that sea area easy to mine?"

Deep-sea mining is not something that can be easily done, and even the high-end technology of the end island requires a long time to prepare.

As for secretly using deep-sea diving technology to steal mining, it is even more meaningless, because the cost of deep-sea diving is very high, and the energy consumption is also very high. If you do that, you will probably consume no less money and energy than the ore that is mined.

"It is proposed to buy the sea area and then build a mining plant on the island. ”

The Red Queen said, directly unfolding a map of the sea in the room.

Above the pale blue sea, the sea was clearly marked.

It is less than 1,000 nautical miles from the Australian mainland, and the distance from the end island is only more than 500 nautical miles.

This distance is really suitable, which means that as long as the ore is mined, it can be quickly transported to the end island for conversion and use.

The Red Queen marked a black island on the map, "This island has just been discovered and is currently being tendered by Australia for mining rights." We can buy the rights to iron ore for 30 years in the name of bidding for it. Then, under the guise of mining iron ore, the spar ore was secretly mined. ”

The first time the Red Queen discovered the spar mine, Su Yunfan planned all the plans, and what she said was the most promising way.
