There is no so-called refining center in this base itself, and even before Su Yun found the refining machine, there was not even a serious refining equipment here, but now that the virtual girl has a lot of money, she specially sorted out an old warehouse on the edge of the industrial center, and piled up the messy equipment that Su Yun brought back later, which is called the refining center, after all, the equipment of the previous industrial center has its own reason, and in addition to blocking the passage, a few machines are forced in. The layout of the pipeline and the like will also be affected, so simply start another stove and the two places will not interfere with each other, anyway, they are close, and they can't take a few more steps.

The energy refining equipment brought back by Su Yun is not very advanced, at most, it can only process and produce intermediate energy crystals, and there is no way to do it no matter how high the level is, but fortunately, it is enough now, and Su Yun does not have too advanced needs at this stage, as for the future things, it can only be left to the future to consider.

The advanced refining formula of the energy crystal block is very complicated, and Su Yun can't understand it at all, but fortunately, the designer of this refining equipment has thought about it from the beginning, and the people who use this thing basically won't understand the principle, so they simply made a fool-like operation interface, so that even children who are not accompanied by adults can instantly understand the meaning of this and operate, so Su Yun didn't encounter any trouble, just fixed the number of inputs marked above, and then started the machine and waited beside it.

Because it is refined according to a fixed volume, it can be converted to about 1 intermediate energy crystal for every 27 low-level energy crystals, but the energy volume is not calculated according to this ratio, and the energy content of the intermediate crystals under the same volume is only about four times that of the low-level crystals, which is very uneconomical.

However, the main reason why it is so uneconomical and must be refined is that the energy release rate of intermediate energy crystals is several orders of magnitude higher than that of low-grade crystals.

For example, for the same 100 units of energy, it may take about ten seconds to completely release it using low-level energy crystals, while it may only take two seconds for medium-level energy crystals to repeat this process, and a higher release rate means that a higher power energy furnace can be driven, so the mining barge must use intermediate-level energy crystals, because the release rate of low-level energy crystals cannot meet its work needs.

The refining equipment is very efficient, and it didn't take Su Yun long to wait, the first batch of intermediate energy crystals had been produced and the production line was completed, and the second batch of refining work began immediately.

Su Yun picked up a newly produced energy crystal at the discharge port and looked at it slightly, this kind of intermediate energy crystal is exactly the same as the low-level energy crystal that Su Yun has been using before, both in shape and size, the only difference is that this thing does not radiate a faint blue fluorescence outward, but instead has a faint milky white light,

It seems that it is more suitable to be used as a light source, and I don't know if the rabbit eats this.

Su Yun was stunned by the strange thought that suddenly popped up by himself, shook his head, and hurriedly put all these things into the subspace bracelet,

Because the energy crystals he carried on his body were originally limited, and there were not many after refining them to the intermediate level, Su Yun expected that this thing would definitely not be enough, after all, the volume of the mining barge was there, and the energy needed to drive it was also astronomical, and the two or three kittens on hand were far from enough, so he temporarily replenished them from the energy center a few times, until these newly produced intermediate energy crystals filled his subspace bracelet, and Su Yun returned to the industrial dockyard with these things satisfied.

Originally, the virtual girl was no longer in the dock, but when Su Yun came back, she appeared in front of Su Yun unknowingly.

"Done?" After the sleepless transformation and installation of sensors on several service machines, at this time, the virtual girl in this base is equivalent to existing anywhere at the same time, and she saw all the refining process of Su Yun before, but she still asked out loud, maybe she wanted to be closer to the logic of human expression,

"Well, let's try it" Su Yun nodded, his eyes were full of the eager brilliance of the little boy when he got a new toy, every man has a mechanical soul in his heart to a greater or lesser extent, and Su Yun is naturally no exception,

This industrial dock is located close to the surface of this base, and it has the function of maintenance and hangar, so part of the roof can be opened, and it also uses the same repulsion field generation device as the main gate of the base, which can even be directly applied to the vacuum environment of the universe, so even if it is directly exposed to the harsh atmospheric environment outside, there will be no problems.

For the sake of safety, the virtual girl still did a system check, she herself is fine, even if the entire base is completely exposed to a toxic environment, it will not be good, the reason why this is done is because of Su Yun, after all, the only one who needs a stable environment in this base is himself,

The conclusion is that everything is normal, and this thing is still working well even after two hundred years, which saves a lot of trouble, otherwise you have to think about how to transport this behemoth, and it feels a headache to think about.

Everything is no problem, Su Yun filled the energy under the guidance of the virtual girl, and then directly drilled into the driving structure of this ship,

The space in the wheelhouse is very cramped, and it is very inconvenient for Su Yun to act in a bionic power armor, after all, this thing is an industrial mining ship, and what the mining ship needs most in a sense is the volume space, so the space in the wheelhouse is sacrificed to install a larger carrying capacity, and the entire 5,000 cubic meters of ore tank capacity is not a joke, it is all saved little by little on these details,

If it weren't for the fact that this thing was needed to undertake the work of the frigate when it was designed, it was not possible to sacrifice speed and defense system too much, otherwise it would be even more exaggerated to estimate this number.

Got into the driver's seat and sat down, fortunately, it was barely enough, even if Su Yun was wearing power armor, it would not affect the activity too much, but the control panel with a complex structure and a bunch of messy buttons did not appear, and instead there was an operating platform that didn't even have buttons.

Under the instructions of the Q version girl, Su Yun pulled out his personal terminal and inserted it into the only groove on this bare operating platform.

In an instant, there was a slight vibration from the hull of the entire barge, and the glass structure with a not very good vision in front of him jumped on a bunch of data screens, tree diagram pie chart and some changing parameters Su Yun raised his eyebrows, because this pioneer model ship is designed to be operated by a single person, so the information is all highly integrated, and people who have not been trained in the system will inevitably be a little overwhelmed just now, but fortunately, there is a Q version of the girl and the information processing of the personal terminal, which greatly simplifies this whole complex process, Let Su Yun only need to enter the command and purpose, and the calculation program will be automatically fuzzy, which is a lot more convenient.

Next, let's try to see how this thing performs.
