Chen Mo watched the interstellar mining ship slowly descend with a full load, and couldn't help but smile: "With high-tech products, it's easy to do things quickly, it's only five days to pull a batch of ore from Mercury back, and the efficiency is really extraordinary!" ”

After more than five days of hard work, Xiao Hei has collected the raw materials that can make a light interstellar mining ship, and in terms of efficiency, he is similar to this light interstellar mining ship.

Of course, this is due to the fact that the earth's resources are relatively scattered and the content of certain mineral elements is very scarce. If Xiao Hei were to work on Mercury, he would definitely be many times faster than a light interstellar mining ship.

When the spaceship landed in the open space on the island, the cargo compartment of the spaceship slowly opened, and all the ore loaded in it was dumped out and piled up in the clearing.

Then the robot captain did a systematic search of the entire spaceship, confirmed that everything was in order, and immediately drove the spacecraft to take off and start the second interstellar mining journey.

When the spaceship flew away, Xiao Hei began to extract various mineral elements from this batch of ore according to Chen Mo's instructions.

Xiao Hei spent half an hour extracting the various mineral elements contained in this pair of ores, he placed the mineral elements separately, and then said to Chen Mo: "Boss, the mineral element content in Mercury ore is so high, much higher than on the earth, this batch of 100,000 tons of ore actually extracted more than 80,000 tons of mineral elements, it's really exaggerated!" If you can send me to Mercury, my level will definitely go up! ”

Chen Mo didn't pay attention to Xiao Hei's daydream, he smiled and said, "Don't think about unrealistic things, for now, let's expand our interstellar mining fleet as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Hei also knew that he was a little delusional, he couldn't get out of the earth at all before he reached the fourth level, and heard Chen Mo's words. Xiao Hei nodded again and again: "No problem, I'll start working here." ”

In the following days, Xiao Hei no longer needs to dive to the bottom of the sea to extract mineral elements, because the mining speed of the interstellar mining ship is enough to meet the needs of the production line. All Blackie needs to do is keep building the ship's engines and gravity controls, and then put together the parts of the massive interstellar mining ship.

Since combat robots share most of the parts manufacturing work, and raw materials are extremely abundant. So the speed of production has accelerated a lot, and in just one month, six new light interstellar mining ships have been built.

With the addition of the six newly manufactured interstellar mining ships, the collection speed of industrial raw materials required by Chen Mo was greatly accelerated, and soon the production speed of the industrial island was far behind the collection speed of the interstellar mining ship, and in less than half a month, the open space on the island was basically filled with ore transported back by the interstellar mining ship.

Chen Mo asked Xiao Hei to devour all these ores, so that Xiao Hei's level could be increased a little, and he could conjure up more production equipment. It is very helpful to speed up production.

Chen Mo's snowballing strategy was very successful, it used to take him about a week to build an interstellar mining ship, but with sufficient raw materials and Xiao Hei's level increase, it only took him three days to build a light interstellar mining ship now.

This was done in the face of a shortage of production equipment, and if the production equipment was sufficient, it is estimated that the speed at which he could build a light interstellar mining ship would jump again.

In three months, the industrial island that Chen Mo renovated was expanded by five times. It expanded from 10 square kilometers to 50 square kilometers.

For an island to expand, it needs to fill the sea. The materials used by Chen Mo to fill the sea were all ores brought back from interstellar mining ships.

After these ores were refined by Xiao Hei, they turned into ordinary stones, and Chen Mo asked Xiao Hei to use these stones to expand the island in line with the principle of waste utilization, but he didn't expect that in just three months, the island would be expanded to such a point.

The size of the island expanded. Naturally, the usable area has also expanded.

According to the old method, Chen Mo asked Xiao Hei to send a clone to build a new factory and production equipment. Due to the speed of expansion beyond imagination, the battle robots in Chen Mo's hands were no longer enough, and he specially spent three days to make Xiao Hei and the existing battle robots all stop the work at hand. Go all out to create new combat robots.

Although it was only three days, the efficiency of Xiao Hei and the combat robots was too terrifying, and in just three days, a new batch of combat robots was created.

The number of this batch of combat robots reached 18,000, and after the installation of nuclear energy batteries that had been produced for a long time, these combat robots were immediately assigned to various production lines and became a member of the army of workers under Chen Mo.

With the newly expanded plant and production line, and a large number of robots to supplement the labor, Chen Mo's expansion speed accelerated again. He pushed the production line to the limit by running the production line 24 hours a day, but even so, the industrial island could not offset the gathering speed of the interstellar mining ships.

Whenever the open space on the island was filled with ore transported back by the interstellar mining ship, Chen Mo would let Xiao Hei devour the upgrade, and Xiao Hei's level was steadily increasing.

After half a year, the area of the island expanded to 500 square kilometers, the number of combat robots exceeded 300,000, and the entire island was full of assembly lines running at full capacity, and all kinds of industrial parts and components that Chen Mo needed were manufactured, and then assembled into interstellar mining ships that he still needed in large quantities.

Chen Mo had long expected this geometric expansion rate, which was the power of science and technology. However, with the production of interstellar mining ships at a snowballing speed, the factor that most constrained Chen Mo was finally revealed.

He lacks the real core production equipment, such as the engines and gravity control devices needed for interstellar mining ships, and has always relied on Xiao Hei to produce.

In the past, Xiao Hei tried his best to meet the construction speed of the interstellar mining ship, but after such a long period of rapid expansion, he finally couldn't bear it, even if he would devour ore every once in a while to improve the level, so that he could conjure up more production lines to help production, but now, the productivity he provided is still lagging behind, which has become a shortcoming that restricts Chen Mo's accelerated development.

Chen Mo felt that it was not a solution to rely on Xiao Hei alone, it was necessary for him to manufacture truly high-end production equipment to fundamentally solve the production needs for precision parts. Otherwise, the shortcomings in this area will seriously restrict his expansion, and it will be a big blow to his overall plan. (To be continued......)
