Chapter 55 Minerals of the Seabed

Construction of permanent underground shelters in Australia has also begun.

After getting the first batch of airdrop supplies, the Falcon trio entered the life of the workers.

The first is the excavation base, because it is close to the equator, the temperature is not particularly cold, and the difficulty of breaking ground is much smaller, but despite this, the three shifts are also tired.

Finally, after receiving another batch of materials, there was finally a small construction machine, the progress of the project was greatly accelerated, and now the underground space has been dug out, and the next step is the internal rest and slow expansion

——

During these big moves by the Dragon Kingdom military, Lu Chen's side was not idle,

On the 7th, the last day of the National Day holiday, after getting the metal pure titanium, a titanium alloy was quickly developed.

This titanium alloy can withstand a pressure of nearly 800 atmospheres before it will deform slightly, but it will return when the pressure disappears.

Moreover, it is very resistant to cold and corrosion, and still maintains the original metal properties in the environment of minus 150 degrees.

However, this titanium alloy is difficult to manufacture, and Lu Chen's current technical reserves have huge manufacturing costs, so Lu Chen is ready to open it

After the manufacturing process of this titanium alloy is imported into the nanocore, it is suggested that 1000 points of energy are required for optimization.

After taking a look at the energy reserves, he found that by nine o'clock in the morning, there were already 1200 points of energy, Lu Chen looked at the energy and determined the optimization,

After seeing that it would take 24 hours to optimize the nanocore, Lu Chen got up and started breakfast, and after Meimei ate a meal of egg lean porridge with snow cabbage, he started today's work.

Lu Chen walked into the studio and asked Zero to report on the situation at Shelter No. 1.

"Sir, after the construction of robots in the past few days, on the basis of the original, a planting room, a small processing assembly line, and defense facilities have been built, and recently according to my calculations, under the optimal consideration, Mr. Zero suggested that Mr. Zero establish a robot production line and a conveyor production line in the No. 1 shelter, so that we can effectively use local resources and avoid the lack of our transportation capacity."

Lu Chen thought about it and felt that what Zero said also made sense,

"Zero, build a log, and in the future, Shelter 0 will be used as a living base, and Shelter 1 will be used as a production base, and a construction queue will be established, and the robot production line you mentioned earlier will start to be built after Shelter 1 is perfected. At the same time, using the resources delivered by the No. 1 base, the No. 1 planting room of the No. 0 shelter will be expanded, the vegetable base will be expanded, and the soilless cultivation technology will be used for the later expansion.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he modified it on the basis of the hexapod robot, created a crawler robot, and a robot with only a simple skeleton, and after sending the information to Zero, Lu Chen instructed: "Zero, after the robot production line is manufactured, a few crawler robots will be made for you just now, as peripheral guards, and the pure skeleton robots You will equip yourself with weapons and be responsible for the internal defense of the No. 1 shelter."

"Sir, the log has been completed and the direction of Shelter 1 has been updated"

Lu Chen nodded, took only a batch of titanium alloys made, and made 2 submarine exploration robots.

After the robot was built, Lu Chen let Zero control the robot onto the drone and began to transport it to Shelter No. 1.

After lunch at noon, Zero told Lu Chen that he had delivered the two robots to Shelter No. 1, and then Lu Chen first asked the submarine prospecting robot to select prospecting equipment at Shelter No. 1, and then began to head to the sea to explore the mineral deposits in the coastal areas of Annam.

The next day, after Lu Chen got up, he took a look at the optimization of the titanium alloy production process, and after transmitting the process to zero for calculation, he made a report to Lu Chen

"Sir, after calculation, the optimized titanium alloy production process can reach a ton per day in the case of sufficient supply of raw materials, which can meet our current use, and compared with other titanium alloy production processes, this titanium alloy process has been used as a reference, which can greatly improve production capacity."

Lu Chen nodded, it is not bad that a thousand points of energy can be optimized like this, this titanium alloy itself is stronger than other titanium alloys, so the yield is very low,

Before optimization, it was already very good to be able to produce 100 kg of titanium alloy per day, and if you optimize it, you can directly increase the output by 10 times, how can you make money.

Let Zero send the submarine robot and this titanium alloy production method to the No. 1 shelter, and let the side produce 10 prospecting robots after the preparation is completed, and the seabed mineral deposits off the coast of Annam will be clearly detected.

On the 12th, in the past few days, using the new production process, Lu Chen produced another batch of titanium alloys, and then upgraded his protective armor to exoskeleton armor, which is very similar to the official exoskeleton armor, abandoning the big round head, and the whole helmet looks like the motorized infantry in the Starship Troopers anime,

After some testing, Lu Chen was very satisfied with the performance of the battle armor, the strength of the titanium alloy made him immune to ordinary gunpowder bullets, and the previous suit would still cause damage to himself if it was a sniper rifle designed at close range, but after changing to titanium alloy, the internal shock absorption device was done, and he could shoot directly against the sniper rifle without being harmed.

Later, when you come up with a practical ion thruster, you can be like Iron Man.

Then Lu Chen took off his armor and came to the studio to inquire about the recent situation at Shelter Zero 1

"Send it first, after these few days, the survival facilities of Shelter No. 1 have been improved, the first robot production line has been completed, the production of hexapod robots has begun, and the prospecting equipment is carried to look for other mineral resources in the nearby area, and there is already a batch of metal resource ingots in Shelter No. 1, and it has been arranged to start manufacturing unmanned transport aircraft production lines,"

After Lu Chen listened, he said to Zero: "Since we have started to manufacture drone production lines, then the hangar over there will also be expanded synchronously, don't only have planes and no hangars to park at that time, this day the life of the outside is too short, it is better to put the hangar." ”

"Okay sir, according to the statistics of the prospecting robot, at present, within 400 kilometers around the No. 1 shelter, oil, aluminum, copper, molybdenum and other metals have been found, and the submarine prospecting robot has also found corresponding resources in the nearby waters, and I also accidentally discovered Annan's offshore oil production platform in the nearby waters."

"Zero, send a robot to occupy the oil production platform, check if it can operate normally after occupying it, if not, list the problem, I will solve it, in addition, don't give up the oil resources on land, I don't have the energy and resource area to study the ion engine for the time being, so I am ready to start the turbojet engine project, I just happened to get the news, I heard that the Academy of Sciences has recently made a breakthrough in the removal of volcanic ash, maybe it will soon be put to use,"

"Ok sir, log established"

Lu Chen nodded, and then asked about some other situations,

Suddenly, Zero said to Lu Chen, "Sir, there is something you need to decide here, the computing power of the simple procedure in Shelter 1 has taken up 80%, and it needs to be solved as soon as possible, otherwise Shelter 1 will not be able to continue to develop"

"What's going on, why is the computing power insufficient?"

"Sir, because we can't produce high-precision chips, we have been using relatively low-end 28-nanometer chips, which will still be insufficient for robots, so each robot will occupy the computing power of the intelligent program in the center of Shelter 1.

Now that 80% of the computing power of the central program in Shelter 1 has been occupied, of which the robot alone occupies 40% of the computing power, it is up to the gentleman to decide whether to replace the high-end chip to allow the robot to act autonomously, or to expand the computing limit of the central computer. ”

After listening to Zero's explanation, Lu Chen thought for a while, and then asked Zero to call up the information on chip production and supercomputing.

After reading the information, I thought about it for a while and decided to upgrade the chip manufacturing process, and at the same time use the supercomputing architecture to upgrade the hardware of the central computer in the shelter.

After looking for a while, Lu Chen set his sights on the treasure island next to him, but before that, he still needed to find the official to order a batch of chips.
