Chapter 438: The Gold Swallowing Beast on Mercury

Chen Mo sent the command by wearing a Rossayan communicator on his ear.

Although this communicator is small in size, it is very powerful, it uses microwaves unknown to earthlings as a signal transmission path, and the transmission speed of this microwave is far faster than the speed of light.

Wasev told Chen Mo that this kind of communicator can easily communicate in an area ten times larger than the entire solar system, which also breaks the basic understanding of the speed of light on earth.

In fact, it is not uncommon for matter in the universe to be faster than the speed of light, just because human technology is too backward to detect.

For example, the Rousse Warriors' combat ships are many times faster than the speed of light, making it easy to fly faster than light.

In the eyes of human beings, as long as the speed exceeds the speed of light, it can turn back time and be able to go back to the past, which is ridiculous with the most superficial cognition.

At any time, it is impossible to turn back time, even if the universe is destroyed, nothing that has happened can be reversed, such as bringing the dead back to life, which is simply impossible.

The Rossayites did not have this view, and they achieved faster-than-light travel, but everything else remained the same, except for the relative changes in time and space.

Chen Mo and Xiao Hei stood on the super island, watching the first interstellar mining ship disappear into the sky, and after a long time, Chen Mo spoke: "Finally took the first substantial step, in the future, we will have more interstellar mining ships, and then we will continue to use the raw materials brought back by these interstellar mining ships to build more interstellar mining ships, so that the speed of our development can expand exponentially." But now—"

Chen Mo turned his head to look at Xiao Hei when he said this, Xiao Hei has been busy all these days, and he originally thought that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, seeing Chen Mo turning his head to stare at him, as if he had bad intentions, he couldn't help but say nervously: "But what? And now what's going on? ”

Chen Mo smiled and said, "We can't be idle, can we?" In order for us to grow faster, I think it's important for you to keep working hard. ”

Xiao Hei scratched his head and said, "Boss, the workers on the earth still have holidays, can't you let me rest for two days?" ”

Chen Mo made a helpless gesture and said, "They are going to work to earn wages, but we have to fight for our lives." Can the two be the same? ”

Xiao Hei sighed and said, "Okay, I'll work hard." ”

After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he turned into a steel giant beast, carrying Chen Mo deep into the seabed to absorb all kinds of raw materials needed to build an interstellar mining ship.

The light interstellar mining ship, powered by five robots, broke away from the Earth's gravitational magnetic field. Immediately full speed ahead, it took two days to reach Mercury.

The ship looks like a conical metal tower, and it lands in a very different way than a normal ship.

Whereas most ships lie flat on the ground, Vosev's design based on the Rosenian mining ship has several sharp metal brackets stuck out of the ground. This stabilizes the hull. This makes the entire hull look like a metal tower stuck into the ground.

Fortunately, its engine is installed in the middle of the spaceship, otherwise if the engine is installed at the tail of the spaceship, such a landing method is afraid that the ship's engine will be damaged.

As for why it landed this way, the answer was soon revealed.

When the ship came to a standstill, the robot captain turned on the mining mode, and the bottom of the ship slowly opened, and a large drill bit protruded from it. The drill has many gears inside, much like the teeth of a metal behemoth. After the gears start to rotate. The drill bit slowly drills into the surface to carry out mining operations beneath the surface.

On the screen in the cockpit of the spaceship. Data is constantly displayed, including the types of metal elements detected by the drill bit, how much power the drill bit opens, the depth of the drill and the hardness of the formation.

The robot captain has been paying attention to various data changes, and data analysis is carried out in accordance with the operating rules written by Chen Mo, once the data is abnormal, the robot captain will adjust it according to the operating procedures set by Chen Mo in advance.

Inside the drill bit, a huge gear rotates, grinding the rock it touches, and then scanning it with radiographic rays to detect the content of various mineral elements in the stone. The ore that meets the standard content will be separated and swallowed into the cargo compartment inside the ship. As for stones with too low mineral content, they will be discharged through a hole opened in the tail of the ship.

For a while, smoke and dust were everywhere near the spaceship, and under the operation of the mining ship, the planet that had been silent for an unknown number of years showed a lively scene. But for the planet as a whole, the size of this interstellar mining ship is too small, and apart from a little bit of smoke and dust, nothing else has changed.

The interstellar mining ship is like a gold-swallowing monster, constantly grabbing the mineral deposits of this planet, and the carrying capacity of 100,000 tons is equivalent to an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but for the mass of Mercury, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

Of course, this is only the current situation, if Chen Mo builds a larger number of interstellar mining ships, I don't know if Mercury will be broken up by the spaceship he sent in the end.

The interstellar mining ship had been on the surface for three hours, and the storage room was already full, and the robot captain saw that the payload displayed on the monitor had reached the ship's maximum capacity, and he immediately turned off the drill.

The gears in the drill bit began to reverse, and the entire drill bit slowly retracted back into the spaceship's body, and then the open hole at the bottom of the spacecraft closed, and the interstellar mining ship loaded with 100,000 tons of ore turned on its engine, and with the assistance of gravity control devices, it easily rose off the ground and slowly rose into the air.

Then the ship's engine increased its power, and the spacecraft rose faster and faster, and soon broke out of Mercury's gravitational range and into outer space.

According to the coordinates of the route, the robot captain set the flight route to return the original way, and this time the spacecraft flew for three days before returning to Earth, which took one day longer than when it came.

When I came, it was an empty ship, which was easy, and of course it was faster. When it went back, it was loaded with 100,000 tons of ore, although there was no air resistance in space, but the weight increased, and the power of the spaceship's engine did not increase, and its speed would of course be slower.

This interstellar mining ship went back and forth, plus the time consumed by mining, it took a little more than five days in total, and Chen Mo was still very satisfied with its work efficiency. (To be continued......)
