The warehouse is not only a storage and transfer center, but also a fully automated production workshop. The ground part is a warehouse for storing grain, while the production workshop for processing grain is underground. It is all military equipment, which not only operates fully automatically, but can also process a variety of ingredients into military rations that can be stored for a long time. An automated assembly line can process thousands of tons of grain a day, and there are hundreds here.

Because it is an automated assembly line, there are no workers in the workshop.

There is no doubt that the Luo family is expanding their armaments, otherwise there would be no need to produce so many military rations.

The six of them dispersed and went around the workshop.

"Did you find it?"

"Found what?"

Yang Yi glanced at the others before he said, "Even if these production lines are running at full speed, they won't be able to process all the grain that is being shipped. ”

"Indeed, the daily processing capacity is only about 100,000 tons, and the daily grain delivery is as high as hundreds of thousands of tons."

"Where's the extra food?"

Jackson shook his head slightly, he couldn't figure it out.

"Look closer." Lin Feng let out a long sigh and said, "The grain is all here, if it is not processed into rations, it will definitely be sent to other places through other channels." ”

The crowd didn't dwell on it, but scattered to look for it.

This time, everyone was more careful, and paid special attention to the raw material inlet of the production line.

Soon, Justin made a discovery.

The grain in the containers is all prepared according to the proportion of the processed rations and then sent to the production line. It's just that all production lines consume much more raw materials than the rations produced. Although there is some loss in processing and production, it is not too large, and it is impossible to increase it several times.

The entrance of raw materials is actually a huge funnel, and the prepared ingredients are put in turn according to the program, and when they come out of the production line, they become military rations. Because the ingredients need to be washed before processing to remove impurities and defects, there is a special channel under the funnel for discharging waste. On a standard production line, this channel is connected to a set of equipment dedicated to waste treatment. Ingredients that cannot be processed into military rations are not wasted, but are produced into feed and fertilizer. It's just that on all the production lines here, the channels for discharging waste are connected to the ground. In other words, the waste is not processed into feed and fertilizer, but is stored somewhere underground.

The secret lies in the underground of the production hall.

After trying to shut down a production line, Yang Yi took the lead in getting in.

The diameter of the raw material entrance is more than fifteen meters, which can allow a container to pass through, let alone a few people. Even the channels through which the waste is discharged are several meters thick, the equivalent of sewers in large cities. The passage continued downward, and after more than ten minutes of drilling, Yang Yi stopped.

Ahead is a gate, controlled by a pressure-sensing device.

Only after enough waste has accumulated will the floodgates be opened to discharge the waste.

However, this gate is very unique, it is made of a high-temperature resistant alloy, at least a meter thick, and is no less robust than a heavy tank.

Could it be that because there is no need for feed and fertilizer, all the waste is incinerate?

Sure enough, there was a huge incinerator beneath the gate.

Yang Yi was very surprised, and looked back at Lin Feng and the others.

Although the material is extremely abundant, the waste is also very serious, accompanied by a large amount of garbage, but the burning of garbage can seriously damage the environment, let alone in the home system, even in the colonized planet, the burning of garbage. Most of the waste is recycled in a pollution-free way, for example, food waste, which is mainly organic, is processed into fertilizer, and inorganic waste is disposed of in landfills.

Thousands of years ago, the Federation of Humans stopped burning garbage.

"Let's go down and see." Lin Feng said.

"All ready."

Yang Yi didn't get too wordy, drove the "Source of Life" and created a layer of energy barrier. Although the protective clothing can resist the high temperature of 3,000 degrees Celsius, the temperature inside the incinerator is likely to be above 3,000 degrees Celsius, and Yang Yi does not want to become the garbage to be incinerated.

When the others were ready, Yang Yi leaned on the gate and began to push the gate.

As Yang Yi exerted his strength, the floodgates slammed open. A heat wave hit him, and Yang Yi was startled, but then he found that the temperature of the heat wave was not as high as he imagined, only a few hundred degrees Celsius. It was only then that it became clear that there was not a burning road under the gate, but a huge cavern.

"Be careful, everybody."

Yang Yi reacted quickly, restrained the momentum of the fall, and at the same time grabbed No. 1. Behind him, Lin Feng grabbed No. 11.

Among the six people, No. 1 and No. 11 were the weakest. Although after coming out of the "Kuhn-Barrion Fortress", Yang Yi selected two from the original energy converters presented by Gong Baixu and gave them to No. 1 and No. 11, so that they could become soldiers and obtain the qualification to join the special investigation team, but due to the limitations of the original level, No. 1 only reached the level of a fourth-level soldier, and the combat power of No. 11 was only equivalent to a third-level soldier.

In addition, neither of them has a very good understanding and grasp of the original energy.

"What is this place?"

"Look below."

Yang Yi reminded him, and Lin Feng looked down.

The cave is hemispherical in shape and extremely large. At the top was a huge artificial light source, and the exit of the passage that Yang Yi and they had entered was halfway up the cave. Below them was a huge feedlot, with hundreds of thousands of large and small corrals suspended in the air.

It's just that it's not the livestock that are raised, but the beasts that are covered in red.

Silicon Beast!?

Not only Yang Yi was shocked, but Lin Feng and others were no exception.

Although in the Human Federation, and even in the entire Galactic Alliance, there are many rich people who keep small silicon beasts as pets, and there are some underground organizations that use large silicon beasts to fight, but the corrals below are not small silicon beasts, all of them are huge and extremely aggressive beasts!

At this time, a small robot flew over, flew around Yang Yi and them, and then flew away.

"Over there!"

Reminded by Jackson, Yang Yi looked to the left front.

A gate opened, and some huge balls rolled out of the passage. As the ball fell, a group of small robots flew over and used a high-energy laser to cut the ball into small pieces, and then each small robot flew to the corral below with several small pieces.

Round balls are feed!?

That's right, it's really feed, and it's processed feed.

Raise silicon beasts with the feed that carbon-based life needs!?

You must know that because the structure of life is different, the food structure of carbon-based life is completely different from that of silicon-based life, and the only thing that is the same is trace elements. If those feeds are the trace elements necessary for the growth of silicon beasts, there are too many of them, and they are simply wasted.

"It's less than 500 degrees Celsius." Justin said a word, and also reminded Yang Yi and others.

"Let's go down and have a look."

What Justin said made Yang Yi suddenly think that those beasts in captivity may not be silicon beasts, at least not pure blooded silicon beasts. Quite simply, the temperature of the environment suitable for the survival of silicon beasts must be above 1,000 degrees Celsius, and some large silicon beasts even need to be above 1,500 degrees Celsius to be vigorous. Even small silicons can only grow properly in environments where the temperature is high enough.

Five hundred degrees Celsius is obviously too cold for the silicon beast.

After getting closer, Yang Yi found that the fences of the captive beasts were all made of original energy, which was not only very strong, but also suffered from electric shocks on direct contact.

The entire cave is a breeding ground, but there are no keepers, and all the beasts are cared for by robots.

"Brother, these aren't silicon beasts."

Yang Yi nodded, he also saw that the captive beast was not a silicon beast, to be precise, it was not a purebred silicon beast, but a life form between carbon-based life and silicon-based life.

Who made it?

Yang Yi let out a long breath and nodded at Jackson.

Jackson didn't ask much questions, but burst into a corral and killed the beast inside.

It was a beast that was over ten meters tall and weighed more than twenty tons, and looked like an enlarged version of a brown bear, with a body covered in rock scales.

After Jackson dissected the beast's body, Yang Yi's guess was proven.

The beast's skin is a semi-molten rock with a large number of blood vessels underneath, and liquid magma inside, which serves as a source of heat. Further down, there is a layer of supercavitating tissue that is tens of centimeters thick and looks like foam, which has a cushioning effect and can also insulate from high temperatures. Underneath this layer of tissue are muscles, blood vessels, bones, and internal organs, and are typical of the physiology of carbon-based life. The only difference is that this beast has two hearts and two sets of blood circulation systems, one of which supplies high-temperature blood to the epidermal tissue, and the other sends low-temperature blood to muscles, internal organs and other organs.

"Brother, look here." Jackson pulled open the beast's mouth, revealing its teeth.

Yang Yi took a closer look, and his brows locked together.

The beast's teeth are made of high-strength alloys that don't look like they grew naturally. In addition, the beast's bones and claws are also high-strength alloys.

In other words, this is not only a hybrid beast, but also a human modification.

"Why did the Luo family cultivate such a hybrid beast?"

"Not a beast." Yang Yi shook his head slightly, and said to Lin Feng, "It's a domesticated beast, or a machine used to kill." ”

"You mean ......"

"The use of domesticated wild silicones for war is a tradition of the Silicon Alliance, and it is very powerful. The Luo family has cultivated so many hybrid silicon beasts, they must be following the example of the Silicon Charm Alliance, preparing to use these beasts for war. Yang Yi let out a long breath. I'm afraid this is the purpose of the Luo family's occupation of Shennongxing. ”

"Only Shennong has enough grain to raise so many hybrid beasts."

Yang Yi nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lin Feng said at this time, "The Luo family has been here for less than a month, and they can't cultivate so many hybrid silicon beasts at all. ”

Yang Yi nodded again, he also thought of this question.

It was at this time that trouble came.
