If the production process of a normal laser artillery weapon is followed, the internal optical components should be made of pure synthetic crystals as concentrating components, and most of these crystal structure prototypes are derived from various natural gemstones.

Artificial gemstones use the method of crystal growth, if there is a corresponding mature factory, the production of these artificial gemstones is a very simple matter, each production cycle has the growth of the finished crystals into the processing flow, according to the specified needs of the processing into the appropriate shape to correspond to the optical resonance cavity function.

Generally speaking, due to the uncertainty of natural crystal size and purity, few can reach weapon-grade applications, and Hella must complete the construction of the corresponding gemstone production plant before it can manufacture the corresponding components of laser weapons.

The abundant crystalline material contained in the ground gave Hela the conditions to create laser weapons with different working methods.

According to the different final output energy levels, laser equipment has different working principles of excitation sources and metastable energy level working medium, resonator and resonance cavity, heat dissipation system and so on.

The way of laser output pulse is also more classified according to the different application directions, such as common single/repeated laser pulses, continuous pulses, Q-switched pulses, mode-locked pulses, etc.

After the laser output energy level reaches the weapon energy level, it can be used as a laser weapon.

The high-purity sapphire discovered by Hella at this moment is the raw material for the excellent performance of the titanium sapphire laser, which has a wide wavelength adjustment range, which means that the energy output can be adjusted in a large range.

Such a large piece of titanium sapphire can be cut and processed to form a laser emission array, and finally through the guidance and combing of the resonant cavity and resonance cavity, it can be completely made into a ship-based high-energy laser pulse modulation gun.

It is the Q-switched pulse laser technology that is applied, this technology can significantly increase the output energy level, the principle is to continue to accumulate particles after the formation of the inverted state of the particle number of the working substance, and after reaching the preset threshold, a single switch emits a strong laser oscillation and a high-power pulsed laser, this excitation technology is very similar to artillery, so the laser weapon using this technology is naturally named laser cannon.

The functional application of laser technology is broader, especially in the field of machining that Hella is fully infused, the laser processing equipment of Sirius itself and cannot meet the needs of base construction, especially in many large-volume metal parts processing tasks that will be launched in the future, the laser processing capacity with the lowest loss has been seriously insufficient, and Hella can only extend the construction period and carry out this task with high-loss tools or plasma machining.

The abundant crystal deposits in the entire underground space gave Hella a glimpse of the dawn of laser processing capabilities.

At this moment, during the scan, many oversized natural gemstones were exposed to the surface of the rock, shining under the light of the Hella mecha.

"It's developed! I can make a lot of equipment! Open a mine, open a mine! I don't want to explore anything more! ”

Xiao Hela, who was fascinated by this rich mineral deposit, directly didn't want to care about the maze exploration, and directly sent a drone to send a message back directly, asking more transportation units to come to mine and transport this crystal mine.

The laser pulse modulator is the most likely to produce a laser cannon at present, and other laser guns of the same level or higher energy level are basically medium loss types, which require corresponding production capacity to produce excitation raw materials.

Little Hela's current hard life is the kind of person who has to reuse even a fixing bolt, where is the rich production capacity to make the raw materials that are not within the scope of her needs.

Moreover, the manufacture of this titanium-sapphire laser cannon will occupy an important position in the mining of the possible Qingshan rock mass in the future.

The excellent physical properties and the metal elements that Qingshan rock mass itself is rich in have made Little Hella covet it for a long time.

It's just that I currently lack the corresponding crushing method. As for the few crushers made by Hella East, it is good to crush ordinary ores, but if you deal with the near-alloy minerals such as Qingshan rock mass, the crushing teeth are afraid that they will not be able to support several crushing tasks.

However, the alloy characteristics of the Qingshan rock mass are not so strong in the face of laser high-energy weapons.

The high content of metal atoms will be directly excited by the energy of the pulsed laser to heat up, and the hard rock mass will be self-broken by energy conduction, and even directly melted and cut, which is the most efficient mining method for the trumpet that is not short of energy.

After calculating the reduction in the efficiency of different work units and the increase in production capacity brought by the mining and manufacturing of laser equipment, according to the balance point, a part of the automatic equipment was quickly transported to the GA01 mine area to implement the crystal ore mining work in the GAD012 underground mining area.

"The fusion reactor is finally ready to be built! Let me calculate how much material gap there is...... Ah, the corresponding shell material production process has not been launched, and the production capacity is expected to be seriously insufficient, and the production time of the fusion reactor is expected to be six standard years."

Due to the real-time blessing of the database, she knows more about the application of laser equipment, and can complete the ignition procedure of the fusion reactor with a high-energy pulsed laser, which means that she can manufacture a ground-based fusion reactor in the future, and the energy supply problem in the basic future development plan can be perfectly solved.

The only laser device that Little Hella has is the one on the Sirius shipboard fusion furnace, because this thing is integrated into the furnace, and there is no way to remove it while the reactor is running.

Now that there is a supply of raw materials, it is no longer a problem for Xiao Hela, who has the corresponding manufacturing technology, to produce laser ignition equipment, but the material process and production capacity have jumped out again, becoming another obstacle to the production of fusion furnaces, making Xiao Hella can only rejoice.

"Sister Luoshen, why do you have to enter the underground rock circle of the main peak of Qingshan, just wait for me to build the laser cannon to help you melt the mountain directly, you might as well let the carrier return to the 012 mine to help me mine now!"

Little Hela expressed curiosity and incomprehension of the behavior of the Roselle carrier diving headlong into the eroded underground lithosphere, and did not know why Sister Roselle was obsessed with exploring the labyrinth.

"Little Hela, what if I told you that there might be a base for a high-level intelligent civilization under the main peak of Qingshan?"

"As long as we have access to this base, the facilities at the base have a good chance of solving your existing problems and even restoring our long-distance seaworthiness."

"Haven't you always wanted to be in the stars? Do you really want to stay on this planet forever? With the current pace of technological development, we don't know how long it will take to be able to repair Sirius's warp, let alone the supply of antimatter raw materials. If you think about it, the star system produces enough antimatter, and we may have to refine the helium-3 material of the entire Shirasawa moon. ”

"So you understand why I did that, right?"

In order to avoid interfering with Xiao Hela's mission priorities, Luo Shen was also unsure of the protection ability to enter the unknown base, and was afraid that Xiao Hela's detection operation would cause the base's self-defense mechanism to counterattack, so he never told Xiao Hela's speculation about the underground base of Qingshan, if the civilian Sirius, which basically had no weapon interception ability, was damaged or even destroyed because of the recklessness, it would be really too wrong.

It's just that now the Roselle carrier has entered the underground lithosphere of the main peak of Qingshan, and the rock mass detection data inside the channel shows a high degree of consistency, and the attributes of the products of intelligent civilization are undoubtedly determined.

According to the comparison of oxidation data sent back, Roselle has determined that the generation of the channel is 340,000 standard years ago, and the decay data of the dormant volcanic radiation area on the ground is basically consistent with this period.

From this, she determined that the base would be at least 340,000 standard years old and that it would be offline since its patching capacity was available.

This crack is so deep that it is impossible for an active base not to repair it, and since this simplest repair of perimeter defense materials is no longer working, the state of the automatic maintenance procedures of other facilities inside the base is basically worrying.

According to this series of information, it is speculated that the automatic defense system of this base can be determined to be offline in the washing of time, and Luo Shen can naturally rest assured that he can boldly explore further, and Xiao Hela's various talents will also be useful, and there is no need to hide and hide Xiao Hela's matter.

"Really! Wisdom Civilization Base! I'll look at the rock mass data! Wow, the rock mass data in the long channel is basically highly consistent! So the data of the surface rock mass of the main peak of Qingshan...... Well, attached natural rock formations and camouflaged rock formations? And the data analysis results just bypassed my judgment mechanism, and it is really a product of intelligent civilization! Sister, what you said is true! I'm going to adjust the priority of the task! Explore the unknown base mission has been established! ”

When Little Hella heard the news of Luoshen, her curiosity and thirst for knowledge were bursting, and she couldn't sit still, but Sister Luoshen said that if she successfully entered this unknown base of intelligent civilization, she would not have to live a hard life of climbing the technology tree with this kind of buckle button, and she could even recover the ability of interstellar navigation and travel freely in the sea of stars!

"Sister Roselle! New data uploaded! Your carrier has arrived at the end of the tunnel! This is the vibration wave detection data! ”

As time passed, Roselle's carrier mecha seemed to have reached the end of the crack, and the drone uploaded new detection data.

"Okay, does the vibration data show that there is an anomalous layer in the direction of NE023 at the end?"

The data returned from the carrier showed that after reaching the end of the tunnel, she used the vibration feedback to find that a vibration fault appeared about 123 meters inside the rock formation, and it seemed that an unknown structure absorbed and blocked the oscillating longitudinal waves.

"Is this the base's second layer of defense?"

"Hella, increase the production priority of the laser melt-through equipment, we open a passage tunnel at the end of the crack."

"Okay! Sister Roselle! That oversized titanium-sapphire has been shipped back! ”

Outside the Sirius, an unmanned transport plane carrying the huge piece of sapphire ore had already flown in mid-air.

Under the sun, the raw gemstone ore has not yet been processed and polished, and already exudes a deep and pure blue.

The refracted blue light casts onto the ground, bringing out patches of extremely beautiful blue spots, bringing a new color to the monotonous gray and black of the earth.
