PS: (The second chapter arrives, please subscribe for support, and the monthly ticket voted by xiexie 'Qi Lin'!) )
More than ten days later
"Tenryu Babu" shijie
Continental Australia
The entire Great Plains has been turned into a large construction site, the original green grassland has been cleared one by one, and steel buildings with obvious metal texture and cement buildings with high-grade military cement have begun to appear on the grassland.
Smart factories have sprung up one after another, and under the abundant power supply of large Tesla magnetic power stations, they have begun to run their own machinery, turning tons of steel, rare metals and other things into various parts for assembly, or refining them into alloys, and carrying out secondary processing in intelligent special alloy factories to produce certain parts and bodies.
The large iron ore mine in Western Australia, which was originally discovered after the Second World War, is now connected by a railway, and a ton of high-purity iron ore mined has begun to be sent to the crushing plant for the first rough processing.
More than 200,000 NS-5 intelligent robots are trading hard work for the rapid development of the entire base. The NS-5 intelligent robots that are building various factories and military buildings have perfectly demonstrated their value!
In fact, if it weren't for the lack of production lines and maintenance difficulties of the NS-5 model robot, the multi-legged robot that was originally a special worker in the base would have been eliminated by Liu Qi's order, instead of continuing to serve in the base.
Well, of course, there are also stars who can't crack the core program of NS-5, and the 'Three Laws of Robots' is related to the NS-5 intelligent robot that binds the entire intelligent program into a real killing machine instead of this civilian robot.
Liu Qi, who originally wanted to squeeze the maximum value of these intelligent robots, learned that Xingchen had destroyed the fiftieth intelligent robot and still could not modify the core program settings, so he could only use these NS-5 intelligent robots, which had been abandoned by humans, as coolies and consumables.
According to Xingchen's prediction, these intelligent robots will be scrapped due to wear and tear of parts after three years.
Still, three years is enough!
"Master, the small base has been fully built, and now as long as the supply of raw materials is guaranteed, the base can supply supplies for 50,000 troops and more than 300,000 people! Please indicate the next course of action!"
Xingchen, a rigid intelligent AI, began to report to Liu Qi and asked Liu Qi for his next order.
"Whew-"
Liu Qi, who was holding a stone weighing at least 100 tons at a height of one meter, opened his eyes, let out a deep breath, put the stone down, and then stood up from the grass.
Wang Yuyan, who was waiting on the side, saw Liu Qi get up, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe Liu Qi's forehead with a towel.
"'Xingchen', has you already completed the construction of a small base? Give me a list of the building drawings and the various types of materials that can be produced now. Well, by the way, how much did those NS-5 robots lose?"
While enjoying the beauty's costume, Liu Qi asked the stars on the virtual light screen.
"Of the 758 NS-5 robots lost due to accidents and some damage, 561 of them were repaired and repaired through patchwork, and the rest were used as parts and raw materials, and now there are 217562 NS-5 robots left!"
Xingchen projected a 3D model of the base and a table while answering Liu Qi's questions.
"Oh"
Liu Qi was very indifferent to the loss number of hundreds of robots, and it didn't matter how much he lost what he picked up anyway. In contrast, the situation of the newly built base is more concerned by Liu Qi, which is the foundation that he values the most.
The layout of the entire base is clearly marked on the 3D model, from civilian facilities, factories, roads, pipelines, etc. on the ground to hidden military facilities underground, you can zoom in and out to see every relevant detail by hand.
For example, there are more than a dozen floors of underground buildings close to 200 meters where you can view the functions and introductions of each floor, and several tens of kilometers of railways, along with seaside shipyards and mines, are also directly marked on them.
On one side, the table clearly shows the various military and civilian supplies that can be produced throughout the base.
All kinds of pistols, all kinds of bolt-action rifles, submachine guns, automatic rifles, light and heavy machine guns, sniper rifles
20MM~37MM MACHINE GUNS, 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, 57MM ARTILLERY, MORTARS, MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY, FIELD ARTILLERY, HOWITZERS, SELF-PROPELLED GUNS
Jeeps, military trucks, tractors, fuel trucks, field cooking vehicles, medical vehicles
Armored personnel carriers, armored cars, light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, Rhino tanks, Grizzly tanks
Wooden biplanes, wooden monoplanes, aluminium spiral planes, jet fighters, helicopters, hind transport planes
Gunboats, torpedo boats, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines
RGP rockets, anti-tank rocket launchers, vehicle-mounted rocket launchers
All kinds of military uniforms, military food, medicines, leather shoes, belts, sapper shovels, knives, binoculars, military backpacks
All kinds of civilian goods, clothes, shoes, small household appliances, furniture, cars, bicycles
Machinery and equipment, various machine tools, pipes, construction vehicles, various mechanical parts
All kinds of things basically appear in this table, and even the computers and notebooks that were not originally available also appeared on this because Liu Qi had the corresponding manufacturing jishu and materials in his hands.
However, with the exception of those steel products, the vast majority of items that can be produced show a lack of corresponding material prompts, indicating that although they can be produced, they cannot be produced because there are no corresponding raw materials.
Many of those weapons, in particular, are labeled as lacking one or more raw materials and cannot be produced, and even ammunition of all kinds cannot be produced because of the lack of propellants. For example, food and medicine or something means that there is no - food and the like are mainly food or anything, and if the meat is canned, it is made from some animals and fish in Australia, but the problem is that there is a lack of various spices, only salt and monosodium glutamate, which can only be eaten as cured meat. Not to mention medicine, ten days is not enough time for the collection, processing and production of raw materials for drugs, not to mention the lack of raw materials for many chemicals.
"So it's completely unrealistic to expect the base to produce something right away. Alright, Xingchen, get on with your work, step up the exploration of minerals and raw materials, and carry out the work of material reserves and raw material production!"
Liu Qi looked at the raw materials that were lacking one by one, and he could only express a headache, and now Liu Qi, who had made a decision under the skull, knew how many supporting things and materials were needed to build a comprehensive and self-sufficient base.
Not to mention all kinds of food, medicine, clothing, and housing necessary for mankind, just a list of all the things needed for a base that can produce all kinds of weapons and equipment is enough to make people dazzled.
Iron and steel is the most basic, what kinds of non-ferrous metals, chemical raw materials can make people who do not know how to dizzy, if it is a human operation, just with a variety of processing factory workers at least tens of millions.
Although Liu Qi relied on the base car to avoid a lot of construction work, the raw materials could not be conjured out of thin air, and a small amount of Liu Qi could be purchased or snatched, and it would not be possible to replace it with mass production in the later stage. Not to mention whether Liu Qi has so much effort to play this kind of looting game, just becoming a porter is not what Liu Qi wants.
After all, Liu Qi established the base to serve himself, not to become a porter of the base.
Therefore, Liu Qi has already begun to think about how to solve the problem of raw material supply.
Ore, wood, chemical materials and the like are okay to say, and Liu Qi, who has the 2035 version of the global mineral data on the ore, can just let the base get it done. As for wood, there are so many in the primeval forest now, as long as you pay attention not to process those more expensive woods as ordinary wood, and to replant saplings in time.
However, although there are raw materials for chemical raw materials, it obviously takes a cycle to convert them into finished products from the collection of raw materials and transportation to the processing plant through various processing, and it cannot be done all at once.
In contrast, grain, livestock, wool, fur, cotton, beans and other livestock and plants that take months or even years to obtain income are the things that cause Liu Qi a headache. Fortunately, the NS-5 robot that is now used as a laborer is not flesh and blood, and there is no need to eat, drink, or Lazar or anything like that, otherwise Liu Qi would have the heart to die now.
"Damn Australia's main crops are wheat, barley, oilseeds, peanuts, cotton, sugar cane, fruits, and the main livestock are cattle, sheep, horses, and rabbits?? TMD: Looks like I'm going to have to be an agricultural porter again."
Liu Qi looked at the various plant species and animals that were missing, and he was very sloppy.
Although these things are ordinary, it is not so easy to raise them all and send them to Tianlong Babu Shijie, especially when Liu Qi doesn't want to do any genetically modified wheat, genetically modified peanuts and other pit crops here.
"Xingchen, do you have a planting program and a grazing program in your program?"
Suddenly, the scolding Liu Qi remembered a key question, does Xingchen have these civil planting, grazing, fishing, and gathering type programs? If not, the joke will be bigger.
"There are procedures that can be used directly for mechanized management, but there is currently a lack of seeds, livestock!"
"Alright, Xingchen, prepare to continue receiving the NS-5 robot and a batch of seeds and livestock!"
Then in the next few days, Liu Qi spent a large amount of money to purchase that kind of all-natural crop seeds and some high-quality livestock cubs from other shijie and rice countries to Tianlong Shijie.
As for the NS-5 robots, the abandoned robots on the Chicago coast have completely disappeared from the Enemy of the Machines shijie, leaving only some wreckage in place. (To be continued......)
