I have to say that the two resource detection radars are powerful, and the human thing is really particularly advanced. The radar not only easily detects the source crystal, but also directly gives the best mining route.

Zhulu led Chen Tu to the place where the source crystal was found, this is a barren valley in the Feishan Territory, due to the enrichment of the source crystal, there are only a few weeds here, and there are no rats around, when the flash flood erupts, a stream will be formed here, and the weeds grow along it. However, it is the dry season and the streams have dried up.

"The detection radar shows that there is a source crystal ore in a very shallow place underground, which is easy to mine." Zhulu introduced Chen Tu.

Che Chentu looked at this fairly open valley, and in his heart, a factory for mining source crystals had risen in this valley. This area is a mine, and then on the hill outside, a power station will be built directly to complete the energy conversion.

The back of the valley is safe enough to build a war-level source crystal refinery there.

And next to the river that Chen Tu walked over before, a living area can be built, and as for the distance, if the road is repaired, it is not too far.

"When it comes to equipment, I'll buy it right away. In the early stage, it will take about 500 rats to maintain the operation, and the matter of picking people will be handed over to Zhulu. ”

Then, Chen Tu turned to Ai Pei next to him and said.

"Aipei, your first task is here, and that is to teach these people to use and install the source crystal mining equipment."

"Can I do it? I haven't taught anyone else either. Ai Pei understood what Chen Tu meant, that is, let her find the installation information on the crystal network, and then simulate the installation process. But Ape didn't teach anyone else.

"I believe in you, besides, no one else is up to the job but you." Chen Tu poured a chicken soup on Ape as a way to encourage her.

"Well, I'll try it." Ape whispered.

After Ai Pei returned to Xinyi Farm, Chen Tu originally planned to go and see Nie Jing. Nie Jing is teaching skills to the new members of the housing group, and I don't know how the past two weeks have been.

"Andrew has something to look for you." Seeing that Ai Pei had gone away, Zhulu said in a low voice.

Looking at the depth of the bamboo deer, Chen Tu couldn't help but wonder, could something bad happen?

"Where is he?" Chen Tu asked.

Andrew had already arrived in the house city and was now staying in the administrative hall, so Chen Tu had to put the matter of going to the training camp on hold.

Andrew Chen Tuzhulu walked over and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. The three rats sat down around a small wooden table, and Andrew was the first to speak.

"I was here the day before yesterday, but you're not here. From now on, it should be two weeks ago, and the Holy Light Kingdom has terminated the mutual defense treaty with Yuemo for some reason. The troops of the Tianyu Empire have completed the assembly in the Ferghana district, this is already two weeks ago, the cuckoo region is remote, and there is no news yet. ”

After listening to Andrew's words, Zhulu added: "Although the Cuckoo District is a desolate administrative district, if Tianyu attacks in an all-out way, there will definitely be a large number of refugees pouring here, and it is also possible that the Luo family will gather the remnants here after the defeat." After all, this is the Luo family's own land. ”

"So we have to plan ahead?" Chen Tu heard the truth in this, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, once the Luo family is defeated and retreats here, the people in the house city will not escape the fate of cannon fodder.

"Yes, we need to build a strong army as soon as possible, just in case." Andrew spoke his inner thoughts, and now he can only stand firm if he has real strength in his hands.

Zhulu did not agree with Andrew's opinion, he shook his head and said: "To be honest, I was in the army for seventeen years when I was young, and it is difficult to build a strong army, and it is safer to build a large number of fortifications on the border of the cuckoo area. ”

"However, the fortifications still take a lot of time."

Hearing Andrew's concern, Chen Tu added, "There is no need to worry about this, we have an advanced engineering team, and we don't need to invest too much manpower." Moreover, the construction of fortifications in the primeval forest is hidden. We can build a fortress matrix, and leave the fortress matter to Zhulu, and I'll figure out the weapons. ”

"Is there anything I need help with?" Andrew said. He understands that if he wants to join the Chen Tu camp and become a central figure, he needs to make corresponding contributions.

"These are extraordinary times, and we need to mobilize the whole cuckoo region. In this way, I will send 500 soldiers back to Cuckoo City with you, control all the officials arranged by the Luo family, and then you will issue a compulsory mobilization order in the name of the supreme administrator, and all the rats in Cuckoo District will go to Cuckoo City to gather, and the mining of Source Crystal Ore cannot be stopped. ”

"Okay." Andrew, who had the mission, acted quickly, and returned to Cuckoo City with a group of 500 rats on the same day. There were 2,000 rats in the house regiment, of which 500 were trained in Xinyi Farm, 500 were hunting outside, and the 500 people stationed in the house camp were recently recruited.

The entire housing city is running, and the cost of funds is amazing, and the previous tens of millions of earth coins are gone in the blink of an eye. Chen Tu, who returned to Xinyi Farm, checked his account and found that there were still 23 million in it. The funds from the last time were not spent, and the remaining 13 million, that is, the hunt this time was only sold for 10 million, which was directly four times less than before.

Chen Tu knows the consequences of overhunting, and now he is fishing in the dry water.

Chen Tu checked the price of the source crystal mining equipment, and to Chen Tu's disappointment, it did not give a specific price. Montnets Encyclopedia says that if it is just simple mining, hundreds of thousands of mining machines can be competent. The above goes on to say that a complete integrated plant for source crystal mining and processing requires an investment of billions of earth coins.

With only more than 20 million Earth Coins in his hands, it is impossible for him to invest all the funds in the mining of Source Crystals, and he also needs to buy weapons for the House Group.

In the end, Chen Tu decided to spend 8 million yuan to buy a complete set of small-scale mining and processing equipment, although the production capacity is limited, but it is enough for the energy operation of the housing city.

Chen Tu contacted the Weiwu Group again and ordered 2,000 guns. In the face of this customer, who ordered a large amount of money and couldn't make much money, Liu Yun, president of Weiwu Group, treated everyone equally and assured Chen Tu of the delivery speed.

Due to the many primeval forests in the Cuckoo area, the spider-shaped chariot is the best choice, Chen Tu directly chose the high-end version this time, the price is 20,000, which is more than double the ordinary 9,000 earth coins, but in order to arm himself, Chen Tu ordered a hundred.

Of course, the heavy artillery of the armed fortress is indispensable, and the human cannon is many times more powerful than the rat's, and it is all automated, with its own mechanical arm to fill the shells. And, if you pull out any one, it is equivalent to a "heavy artillery" for mice.

Chen Tu checked the price and found that an automatic howitzer that can fire shells in a row is not expensive, and the price of a heavy cannon is only 10,000 earth coins. Of course, this is the equivalent of other weapons.

Once the weapon is upgraded to human specifications, it is a large amount for Chen Tu. The price of 10,000 earth coins is still affordable, Chen Tu simulated the defensive position in his heart, and ordered two hundred automatic howitzers according to the number.

Of course, this is not done, the cannonballs still need to be purchased, one cannonball costs one hundred earth coins, and according to one cannon and one hundred shells, this needs another two million earth coins. This is not the time for heartache, Chen Tu has to grit his teeth and buy it.

In order to reserve for the war, Chen Tu also needs to buy food, of course, this does not cost Chen Tu much money, after all, the house city can be self-sufficient, and Chen Tu buys food for the purpose of dealing with future refugees.

Population is what the soil needs later, and food is what the refugees need. Chen Tu only needs a little bit of effort to win their hearts, which is a sure deal. Therefore, Chen Tu directly bought 600,000 earth coins of grain, which is enough for a year's ration of 100,000 rats.

In order to speed up the construction of fortifications, Chen Tu purchased equipment worth one million again. After this budget, Chen Tu only has 7 million earth coins left.

The rat's fighter plane is not suitable for fighting in a primeval forest like the cuckoo area, so Chen Tu has no idea of forming an air force, so the seven million earth coins are temporarily used as a reserve fund.

In order to prepare for the possible dispute that followed, the house group had to end the training of the new farm, and they were to be stationed on the upcoming Beiming defense line. Beiming Mountain is the geographical boundary of the Cuckoo District, and it is also the only way to enter the Cuckoo District, after discussion and exploration, Chen Tu finally decided to build the fortifications there.

The Northern Ming fortifications will be made up of a hundred forts, each with two howitzers, and in between, there will be machine gun fire and a stormtroop of armored vehicles. It can be said that it has formed a moat-like gate, firmly guarding the cuckoo area.

Ai Pei was very good, and in less than a week, the five hundred people sent by Zhulu learned to control the source crystal mining machinery. Of course, the simulation process doesn't stop there, it also includes safety education. After all, the source crystal is not a good-looking crystal, and improper mining will cause a fire and explosion.

The whole Xinyi Farm is busy, Yin Ying is also learning new knowledge, she is learning company law, as the only human in the Chen Tu camp, Yin Ying's role is undoubted. However, Yin Ying still felt that her role was too small, and the company's operation could not be separated from these laws, so she wanted to study law well.

Chen Tu can't stay at the farm for too long, and the house city needs him even more to preside over the overall situation. Early the next morning, Chen Tu took a spaceship between Wucheng and Xinyi Farm and returned to Wucheng.

At this time, a signal tower with a height of 20 meters is being built in the center of the city, and when it is completed, although there is a barrier separating the human area from the wasteland area, and the communication of big data cannot be realized, but the normal voice call can still be maintained.
