Not to mention the various mental fluctuations of the phoenix after visiting the Pacific Headquarters Base, Li Chunfeng is directing the "wrestlers" and "drill gophers" to mine a large number of ice crystals.

This kind of ice crystal was scanned by Li Chunfeng's mind field, and Li Chunfeng immediately discovered some kind of strange energy fluctuation.

Although it is impossible to test accurately, it is clear that this ice crystal should be some kind of energy substance, and in this case, of course, you have to mine all of it and collect it yourself.

Looking at the vast universe, every single element of energy material that can be solidified is an extremely rare energy source.

For example, the metallic hydrogen produced by itself is a very good interstellar energy substance.

What, you say coal? Is this thing a single element?

Coal is mainly made up of carbon, along with other elements in varying quantities, mainly hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen.

Li Chunfeng currently named the element of this ice crystal Xuan, and immediately made modifications to several resource exploration satellites on board.

He plans to find out how much of this material is on Ceres, and whether it is found on other asteroids in the asteroid belt.

Since Li Chunfeng took over not only the "Dawn" probe, but also a number of deep-sky astronomical telescopes on Earth, including the Hubble Telescope, he no longer worries about being discovered by the Earth.

As a result, all aircraft have stopped the visual stealth system, which consumes too much computing power and energy.

Several "gales" will roar, and they will quickly release one exploration satellite to explore Ceres, and the other will fly to several other large asteroids to deploy corresponding exploration satellites.

In the vicinity of the Bakato crater, Li Chunfeng quickly established an improvised mining base for mining.

Leave one Tempest and one Moonblade, as well as 10 Hunter 2 and one Samurai 2 as basic force defense.

Li Chunfeng led the transport ship and other fighters to Cone Hill as originally planned, preparing to build a base there.

Ceres is only 950 kilometers in diameter, so in the blink of an eye, it flew to that plain.

After landing again, the "Lux" and the "Gopher Driller" all got off the transport ship, and Li Chunfeng also controlled the simulation clone to get off the transport ship.

In fact, the simulation doppelganger also has a mission, and it is wearing a spacesuit carefully developed by Li Chunfeng, which is completely different from the spacesuit that looks very bulky and clumsy on the earth now.

The spacesuit designed by Li Chunfeng borrows from the spacesuit of the Iceman, and has made new improvements, which are excellent in oxygen supply, pressure maintenance, temperature control, bulletproof, and radiation protection.

This spacesuit has the function of a combat suit, and in fact it is a kind of power armor, which is first-class in terms of power and defense, and is many times stronger than the power armor of the Heaven Organization.

This kind of armor-style spacesuit can allow humans to move in the space environment for up to 3 days, and there are two modes of oxygen supply, one is a built-in compressed oxygen cylinder to directly supply oxygen, and the other is a built-in water bag, which can provide electricity through the armor to electrolyze water to obtain oxygen.

As for hydrogen, it can be used in the Warframe's particle engine as a fuel.

This armor-style spacesuit was named "Dragon Armor" by Li Chunfeng, in fact, it can adapt to various environments such as space, water, and air, and has its own power.

However, at this time on Ceres, Li Chunfeng did not activate the power of the dragon armor, but put on Pose, like a martial arts master, volleying into the void.

For the next two days, Li Chunfeng was active on Ceres, comprehensively testing the performance of the dragon armor and recording it through the dragon armor's intelligent brain.

After ordinary people put on the dragon armor, the whole person will look larger, for example, a person of 1.8 meters looks nearly 2 meters tall.

Now, if someone appears in the primitive society of the earth wearing such a battle armor, it is estimated that they will definitely be descended as a silver armor god.

Yes, the color of the dragon armor is silver, which is the true color of hydrotitanium alloy, and like the "Tempest" flying saucer, after pasting a supermagnet graphene film, it can also be radar invisible.

The super hardness and high temperature resistance of hydrogen titanium alloy make it not only able to resist the firing of Gauss rifles, but also to resist the high temperature burning of thousands of degrees.

The performance of the hydrogen-titanium alloy is better than that of the hydromanganese-aluminum alloy of the "Hurricane", but because the titanium metal is less than the two metals of manganese and aluminum, the "Tempest" has not been upgraded after the development of the hydro-titanium alloy.

After all, in space warfare, the fighters of these two alloys are vulnerable under the battleship's giant cannon or energy weapons, and the space fighter can only rely on its super maneuverability and the high-powered interstellar missiles it carries to win in the face of the battleship, so there is no need for this kind of replacement upgrade.

But human beings are very fragile in space, so it is natural to use better materials, as for the cost, as long as there are resources, this is not a matter for Li Chunfeng.

Compared with the steel suit in "Iron Man", the dragon armor is not only very strong in defense, but also not weaker in attack, and it is also equipped with a small particle cannon on its shoulder, and it can also carry an enhanced energy backpack in special periods to provide independent energy for the particle cannon, which increases the number of shots several times.

With the dragon armor, Li Chunfeng can properly train some human astronauts or human space warriors in the future, so that he will be sharper when he fights with robots in battle.

Of course, referring to the casualties of the Iceman Space War, Li Chunfeng still prefers humans as commanders, and soldiers are robots, so as to reduce human casualties.

Li Chunfeng started a full-scale mining activity in the asteroid belt, and through various exploration satellites, Li Chunfeng even discovered some asteroids whose entire star bodies were some kind of metal.

Of course, this is the best for Li Chunfeng, who only needs to install the corresponding Thor engine device on it, and he can land it on Ceres.

It is then cut directly and put into a smelting furnace to produce raw materials of sufficient purity.

In just one week, the entire base was initially built, and on the plains of Ceres, like an undersea city, buildings were built.

It will also use the technology of the undersea city to build a huge steel canopy, so as to enclose a space and set up a complete ecosystem, so that people can live there.

Today, this set of procedures is basically solidified, and the materials, processes, etc. are optimized as much as possible.

It would take 30 days to build a steel city with a diameter of 50 kilometers using a standard number of robots, and the construction period would be shortened if the number of robots increased.

Among them, in the case of unlimited resources, the shortest construction period is only 14 days.

After about a week of construction, Ceres can already preliminarily make self-made "Lux" and "Gopher", and other resources are not lacking, plus another week of preliminary work to lay the foundation, it is expected that in another six days, the space city of Ceres will be preliminarily completed.

This week, Li Chunfeng completely detected the storage capacity of Xuan, and there were about 90,000 tons of Xuan on the entire Ceres, which did not sound like much, but it was actually a lot.

At this time, a "Hurricane" flying saucer was returning to Earth at full speed, and it was filled with soothing, and Li Chunfeng had already prepared the corresponding experimental equipment at the Pacific Headquarters Base.

At the same time, the second batch of ten transport ships has been converted to stealth into the sky, they are also loaded with all kinds of equipment and robots such as "Lux", accompanied by 200 "Tornado" and 200 "Moon Blades", coming towards the asteroid belt at full speed.

It is expected that it will be about 20 days to arrive at Ceres, and the Ceres base city will also be preliminarily completed, and a large number of people will arrive, which can speed up the follow-up construction and the mining speed.

As for the "Han Signal" space cruiser, which is still under repair, the damage to its energy circuit has exceeded Li Chunfeng's estimate, and it will take at least 30 days to complete it according to the current schedule.

At that time, the "Hurricane" flying saucer loaded with the furnace had also returned to the earth, and after studying it by himself, he should be able to completely unravel the mystery of the furnace, if Li Chunfeng's later idea scanning was not wrong, this energy source would be possible to be even greater than nuclear fusion energy in the same volume.

Perhaps the energy source that I envisioned to open the door of space depends on it.

Therefore, Li Chunfeng is very concerned about Xuan, and he is also eager to know whether there is still such a substance in the solar system.

So Li Chunfeng sent the other nine "winds" out and flew in the direction of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

They will release the newly built exploration satellites in suitable orbits along the way, so as to probe the corresponding planets or their moons and look for traces.

However, based on the speed and endurance of the current "Tempest", it is estimated that it will take about 55 days from Ceres to Saturn, and it seems that he needs to further increase the speed of the "Tempest", and in the vast space, the speed of 200 km/s is too slow.

It takes about 350 days to fly from Earth to Pluto at this speed, which is unbearable for Li Chunfeng, who is now accustomed to high speed.

I need to start from two aspects, on the one hand, to increase the thrust of a single jet engine, on the other hand, to increase the number of jet engines, perhaps the "Tempest" needs to be further amplified.

In addition, from here all the way to the Kuiper Belt, it should establish a supply base along the route, which is expected to relay quantum communication satellites to ensure smooth and timely communication.

Think about it, if you use the radio, it takes nearly 6 hours to get from the Kuiper Belt to Ceres, which is too long.

If aliens do invade the solar system, even if Kuiper sends back an early warning signal, it will take a little longer to reach Earth, and the impact will be greater.

Therefore, it is necessary to use quantum communication.

In terms of the speed of the space battleship, Li Chunfeng is also ready to greatly increase.

Take the Iceman's battleship, the current "Han Signal" as an example, its maximum speed is 160 km/s, that is, 576,000 km/h. It's quite quick to say, but in Li Chunfeng's opinion, he is very dissatisfied.

In the new design of the Mingjiang-class space cruiser, Li Chunfeng is ready to achieve the speed of one hundredth of light, that is, 3,000 kilometers per second, which is still relatively good for cruising in a galaxy at such a speed.

And transgalactic sailing, this speed is desperately slow. Therefore, at that time, Li Chunfeng hoped to use the space jump device, but according to the experience of using the iceman, Li Chunfeng was also a little afraid.

Now that this new energy source has been discovered, it is not only possible to solve the energy problem of opening the space door by itself, but also to have an energy supply for the space transition device that it has imitated.

Therefore, Li Chunfeng is now eager to finish digging up the Xuan Tong on Ceres.

On this day, Li Chunfeng controlled the clone to fly in space with this "Moon Blade", and his mind was turned on to test the sine wave.

Suddenly, after receiving a report from Four, the Super AI of Four, which now not only controls the Sky Eye system, but is also the host of the new communication and detection network in space.

It unceremoniously took over the deep space exploration network of the Space Agency of State M, and even the information sent back by the Voyager spacecraft that flew out of the solar system was the first to be picked up by 4.

Now Number 4 has come to report that it has received a radio signal from the Kuiper belt.

It should have been sent back by the "New Horizon", which flew directly to the Kuiper belt after exploring Pluto in 2015, and now I don't know if it flew out.

If it was just a radio signal sent back, No. 4 would not have reported it directly to Li Chunfeng.

The main reason is that at the same time as this signal is sent back, it is actually mixed with a large clutter, and after the preliminary analysis of No. 4, this clutter turned out to be a regular radio signal.

It's surprising that at the edge of the Kuiper Belt, when the New Horizon sends back a signal, it can send back another regular radio signal along with it.

It's just that No. 4 has been deciphered after preliminary analysis and cracking, but it has not been successfully deciphered.

No. 4 can now be super artificial intelligence, and it also uses a super magnetic quantum server group, and such a resource has not successfully cracked a radio signal.

Therefore, the fourth hurriedly reported to Li Chunfeng.

After listening to the report, Li Chunfeng immediately manipulated the "Moon Blade" to return to the Ceres base, and withdrew his mind from the doppelganger to Earth.

This mysterious radio signal from the Kuiper Belt attracted Li Chunfeng's attention, and he had to crack it as soon as possible.
