The foundation of 316 operations is mining

The day after the voyage, of course, this is the objective time, and Lin Youde's subjective time should be six hours after the voyage.

"Hey, Commander, are all the undercurrents of the universe coming to us?" Nhleko teased in the command network, "Could it be that these undercurrents are really made of dark matter, we can't see it, but it's actually coming?" Wait a minute, mirror, even if you crash into it, it will only make me feel the impact of the collision of bones and bones, but not the feeling of turbulence! ”

"Time has passed, and even Enleko has begun to show girls, and the welfare of our ship is really good." Lin Youde shot back.

"Commander! You're so good, my heart will always be handsome little Dede! The chief engineer or something's piping to go! Jing Huayuan immediately shouted in the command network.

"My heart hurts! Doctor! Dr. Freya! ”

"What? Who called me? I was wandering just now. ”

Then everyone on board received a system boost: the connection to the chief engineer of Enhleko was lost.

Lin Youde couldn't help laughing, he was basically familiar with this kind of farce mode, and the corners of his mouth were just meaningful.

At this time, Xia Yongzhi sent a private message: "It's great that Freya has recovered. ”

As soon as the incident in Tula's capital ended, Freya was reluctant to leave Lin Youde too far no matter what, insisting on staying in a place where she could see him with her eyes, and it took several days to adjust.

[Actually, you have a little bit of a thought, she shouldn't adjust it.] Noah said.

Lin Youde ignored Noah and asked Enleko directly - he was disconnected - so Lin Youde turned to ask Jinghuayuan: "How is the progress of the homework?" ”

"We have found a suitable asteroid and are cutting the shell with a mining laser. However, the asteroids here are not rich in minerals, and we may have to find a few more asteroids to make our own materials. ”

Right now, the Enterprise is stuck in an unexplored galaxy with only numbers. Mine with the "Basic Mining Set" given by the Tula.

Because after the incident in the capital of Tula, there was only a little more than half a month to prepare for the Enterprise, so it could only be prioritized to finish the things related to the battle and navigation. There wasn't much time and manpower to get the engineering modules, but Lin Youde considered that he might never be able to stay in a single port for too long in the futureβ€”that would give the enemy a chance to take advantage ofβ€”so the Enterprise had to have some ability to repair itself, so he asked the Tula people to spare the strength to equip the Enterprise with the bare minimum engineering equipment: including a Tula printer and a mining work ship that was loaded onto the ship as cargo and carrier-based aircraft.

The printer is directly inserted in the place reserved for the engineering module by the enterprise number, and there is no shell, which looks like a tumor has grown on the smooth appearance of the enterprise number, which is not generally ugly.

Moreover, the printers of the Tula people are about the same level as humans, and they cannot print things with complex structures as a whole like the printers of the Ilalai.

The printing technology of the Ilarai people is so out-of-specification that they can directly print high-tech weapons with precise internal structures and parts of completely different materials. Human and Tula printers would have to print components of the same material as the "hand-held cannons" used by Freya, and perhaps some less complex structures. Like a butt or something, and then assemble it manually.

If you look at this aspect alone, you might think that human productivity has not improved much compared to the sweatshop era 200 years ago, but it is not. First of all, the large-scale application of printers has improved the process accuracy of human production parts to a point that was unimaginable in that era, and in addition, the efficiency of printers in the production of large objects is much higher than that of traditional production methods - in fact, the efficiency of printers in the production of small components is much higher than that of traditional production, but it is not as obvious as when producing large objects.

In addition, printing technology makes it possible to directly mold complex configurations that cannot be directly formed in traditional production technologies.

So printing technology has indeed increased the production capacity of human beings unprecedentedly, but it has not reached the exaggerated level of the Ilalai people. The printing technology of the Ilarai people is awesome because they omit the assembly step. Direct full printing. The whole product is a complete thing, you can't find the existence of parts seams or anything like that, they are integral. There is no such thing as a "part", it is a "whole piece".

As a result, it is rare for Iralai's ships to disintegrate, because there are no fragile joints. After the ship stress balance of other races is disrupted. The connection of the parts will not hold up at first, and then it will disintegrate. After the stress balance of the ship in Ilarai was disrupted, the strength was about the same everywhere. So it looks like it's being grabbed and twisted from the outside by some great force and then torn apart, which is why Iralai's ships are usually broken up into several large pieces when they are destroyed. Unlike other races, ships are often broken when they are wrecked.

The large wreckage is likely repairing itself, and the only way to make it completely dead is to destroy all the power furnaces in the wreckage.

It is said that the Ilarai people began to work on a system that would use countless ultra-small power furnaces to power warships in parallel, and as long as one ultra-small power furnace was not destroyed and still provided energy, the remaining Ilarai robots might be able to repair the other power furnaces one by one with this energy.

Races outside of the Big Ten have dreamed of this ability from the Ilarai, and unfortunately it's still a bit close.

The Enterprise can now only use a printer that is only a baby toy compared to the Ilarai.

Now Lin Youde and they are going to build a shell for the printer, and now they have to maintain and operate the machine in space, which is quite inconvenient.

However, the Tula people did not give the enterprise ore refining equipment, although the printing itself can remove impurities from the minerals and make alloys by adding other elements, but there is no way to directly turn the oxides of the minerals into mineral elements - by the way, the printers in Iralai seem to have this kind of purification ability.

So Lin Youde had to build a simple mineral refining facility first. Fortunately, the Tula people gave Lin Youde and them the design drawings of their marine version of the mineral refining equipment.

When there is no mineral refining equipment, the mineral refining is done by the psionics of the tectonic system.

De Niro is now responsible for the ability to turn metal oxides into elemental metal at the mining site.

In fact, Lin Youde originally wanted to use Freya's printer, but Freya's machine could only print things the size of a standard combat robot. Even if the drawings loaded with refining equipment are loaded, they cannot be typed. There were no Ilarai engineers on board, and no one knew how to adjust Ilarai's small printer. Have several printers work together to print large objects.

Noah could have done that, of course, butβ€”

"That's not fun.] 】

This thing doesn't even bother to pull the flag.

[Nope.] Those principles are true, but now that I'm human, of course I'm going to start pursuing fun without violating the principles. 】

Aren't you becoming more and more human, you're getting more and more funny, okay?

[Because my current personality is a primitive personality based on the collected data, I will be closer to the main data collection goal.] 】

So it's because I've had too much contact with Enleko - wait a minute, Lin Youde thought, before that, it seems like I'm a tease myself!

[So you know......]

……

All in all, Freya's printer was used to print the robot used to print the company's account. Lin Youde sent a group of people with a basket of Ilarai printers printed out of some spare parts of the Enterprise. Go and find an asteroid with minerals that can meet the requirements of the printing robot, and if you find it successfully, the Enterprise will be able to greatly expand the number of robots in the near future.

Of course, the robots of the Enterprise have been replenished a lot by the Tula people, and the total amount is much stronger than when it first set sail, but it is not bad to add a little more, and the experience of accumulating additional robots will also help in the future journey.

Lin Youde also thought about using the Ilarai printer to make parts for large-scale refining equipment, but this kind of thing can also be done by the Tula printer that the enterprise number is plugged in now, and the efficiency is not much worse than using the small machine of the Ilalai people.

It just takes De Niro to refine the minerals.

Refining minerals itself is also a way to exercise De Niro's psionic powers, so it doesn't seem to hurt to do so.

I said, "Lin Youde is thinking about it." Nhleko was online again, "Now that De Niro and I are working hard, shouldn't you officers on the bridge also be active?" ”

"I'm going to be on duty on the bridge, or should I swap with you?" Xia Yongzhi asked.

"Don't. It's boring to be on duty. But aren't you a big idler with no to do? Knock him down to work. ”

Lin Youde sighed, patted Xia Yongzhi's thigh, and asked the girl to get up from him.

"Good. I'm going to work. ”

Just when Lin Youde stood up and kissed Xia Yongzhi again. The Tula people swam into the bridge of the Enterprise along the newly installed water pipe: "I'll take over Lieutenant Xia's duty shift." ”

Lin Youde and Xia Yongzhi looked at the Tula people together.

"What's the matter with your French accent?" Lin Youde asked.

"What? French accent? ”

Lin Youde then remembered that what was transmitted to his mind was something translated by the translation module, although his hearing also captured the real voice of the Tula people. But the brain automatically replaced the real voice with the translation result of the translation module, and now when Lin Youde began to pay attention to the words of the Tula people, the real pronunciation stored in the memory was called up.

There is no difference between the nameless speech and the previous appearance, at least Lin Youde himself did not see the difference in the voiceprint of the pronunciation.

That's the pot for translating mods.

"Second Lieutenant Sasara, have you used the translation mod?" Lin Youde asked.

"Yes, I upgraded, Commander. Translations from Tula are now conveyed in a French accent, so that if more races board ships in the future, they can be distinguished by accents. ”

"Then you might as well use Sichuan dialect and Hu Jian dialect to distinguish it."

"It's okay, do you want to set it that way?"

"No," Lin Youde shook his head, "a French accent will do." ”

If you think about it, dolphins with French accents are quite cute...... (To be continued......)
