"It's the footprints of a six-legged creature, and the data model calculates that it's about the size of a tiger."

Inside the temporary residence, Johnny places the pictures he takes on a projection panel.

Explain his analysis to Joan and Joseph.

The two of them frowned as they listened to Johnny's explanation, this news showed that there were other species on this planet, and maybe there was a threat to them.

"Speaking of which, we've only explored five kilometers outward, so it doesn't seem to be close enough." Joan bowed her head and muttered.

The three of them were silent for a while, they had just solved the food problem recently, and they didn't expect to think about personal safety.

"Joseph, how is the furnace working, is it able to smelt minerals stably?"

Joan asked Joseph on the side, about the manufacture of the furnace, they took a lot of effort, as long as the commissioning is successful, there is no need for people to carry heavy machines to manual metallurgy.

Joseph nodded, "No problem, whether it's furnace minerals or metallurgy, it's basically no problem to mass produce now."

"Very well, in that case, let's build a few walls near the living room to prevent accidents."

The simulated map unfolds, and Joan draws a few lines near the living room.

"We will expand the living rooms into camps according to this area, and build the next production facility as soon as possible."

"Besides, the power supply is almost gone, and it's time for us to think about the power problem."

"Photovoltaic materials and semiconductor components are needed to make solar panels, so be careful when you go out and look for minerals."

Johnny and Joseph nodded in understanding.

Everyone quickly set off, put on their equipment, and walked out of the living room, the sky was still the same gray.

The three of them are also very strange, logically speaking, the planet is locked by the tides, and the surface of the planet should be in dire straits, but this place is almost like an ordinary planet, not even a storm has happened, it is very calm.

As a result, wind power buildings, which were originally intended to be easier to build, could not be used, and could only be converted to photovoltaic power generation.

Photovoltaic power generation is only for emergency use, and cannot replace the energy of the entire camp, but for better power generation buildings, combustible minerals must be detected first.

At that time, thermal power generation equipment can be built, and both the energy supply and the duration are very satisfying.

Six hours passed.

A two-meter-high wall of smelted bricks was built near the living room, enclosing the nearby area of 400 square meters, leaving only an opening as a gate.

Johnny and Joseph checked their equipment and set off off with their weapons.

Today, they intend to explore an area of 10 kilometers outward.

Joan, on the other hand, followed the manual and came to the planting area to see the crops.

In the grain shed, a lot of high-yield food is grown, which can not only provide sufficient calories, but also vitamins needed by the human body, and the disadvantage is that they need to be carefully cared for during the growth period, and there can be no mistakes.

"Farming..... It seems that my grandfather has planted it, and it is also a novelty to start a planting business on an alien planet. ”

If it was Joan half a year ago, she would never believe that she would grow food on another planet now, so she smiled and sighed.

After dealing with these Dailies, JoAnn returned to her living room.

There are now many ship parts stacked in the room, including a half-lost database cabin, and all Joan has to do is read the information in the database.

It contains a number of blueprints for the construction of research equipment, as well as some models for building infrastructure.

As long as this data is available, the frame can be built directly through the printer, and the circuit components can be installed and run smoothly.

Especially when it comes to the chip of the computing unit, this thing can't be rubbed by hand.

Although in a certain Academy of Science competition, someone tried to fly 200,000 CPU solder joints and completed the feat of hand-rubbing the CPU, but that performance, at most, is to play 3D games.

Perhaps it was really blessed, only one-fifth of the ship's database was missing, and most of it could be built directly by transferring it directly to the printing device, without the need to re-study.

When it comes to important data, it shouldn't be a problem for the three of them to take some time to measure it.

Integrating the analyzed data, Joan listed a production line plan.

Transporting minerals between the mine collection station and the furnace was too time-consuming, and it was time to automate it so that it could save manpower for other things.

Joan set up a project on the proposal for a "conveyor belt", and also an "automatic creation facility", which can automatically produce circuit components and magnetic coils, which are necessary conditions for the arrival of intelligence.

"However, the energy problem is still relatively critical, and photovoltaic power generation alone cannot support the operation of large buildings."

"Hmm..... By the way, a geothermal power plant would be a good choice, but you need to make a prism....."

While Joan was planning the construction of the camp and the communication station.

Johnny and Joseph also had a special situation.

They've come across a mysterious creature on this planet.

Nine kilometers outside the camp, near a grove of trees.

The two of them held kinetic pistols and aimed at the strange creature with teeth and claws, which looked a bit like a praying mantis, but was larger and had a round body.

The two sides confronted each other, but the monster didn't seem to have any intention of making a move.

"Strange, why haven't you seen them before?"

"I guess it's because of the explosion of the spaceship that scared them from coming..."

Joseph glanced around, saw that nothing else was moving, and there was only this monster in front of him, and suggested, "Why don't we try to kill it?" ”

Johnny thought for a moment and nodded, "The presence of unknown creatures is a threat to us, and they have been near our camp, so there is a good chance that they will move. ”

“OK！”

Joseph let out a hey, and before the six-legged monster could react, the gun in his hand burst out with a wave of power, directly penetrating its body, and a pool of gray liquid flowed out and stopped moving.

"Call it a day."

Joseph blew the muzzle of the gun in a dashing manner, and put the gun away with a handsome trick.

"What are you showing, and there are no beautiful women here." Johnny cut and walked over to the monster's corpse to unfold the detection device.

Joseph rubbed his nose and shrugged his shoulders, "I spent two hours learning when I was bored here, preparing to go back to Daxia to pick up girls." ”

“……”

Johnny ignores Joseph's complaints, silently detects the monster's corpse, and records the information.

"The body of this monster is mediocre hard, and the bones are not as strong as those of humans."

"The first two of the six legs are its attack weapons, and the sharpness is not high, similar to that of ordinary kitchen knives."

"There are no viruses on the surface of the body, and there is no high radiation response in the fluids."

"Hey, this gray blood actually shows that it is flammable, and the burn is not bad?"

Johnson was surprised, and even directly touched the monster's blood with his hand, and found that it was quite similar to oil.

"What, this thing can still burn up to generate electricity?" Joseph turned his head to look at the hanging monster and wondered.

"Let's drag it back and study it in detail, I'm a little interested in the structure of this creature."

The corners of Johnny's mouth grinned, if he could complete this biological research, a paper that revolutionized biology couldn't run away.

Even after thinking about the argument, it is called [biopower].

"Okay, anyway, we have almost explored it today, and we have also found a silicon ore with atomic number 14, and the mission is completed today."

Joseph and Johnny dragged the alien creatures towards the camp.

Not long after the two of them walked away, the ground suddenly arched, and a creature jumped out from within, looking exactly like the monster that had just been killed.

Then, one, five, ten monsters jumped out of the ground.

They sniffed the lingering scent in the air, their black eyes looking in the direction they had left.......

Inside Alien Camp.

Joan was also startled when she saw the creature that Johnny and Joseph were dragging around.

Unknown creatures have come to the camp like this, and they are not afraid of emergencies.

But after hearing Johnny say that the creature's blood was unusual, Joan became intrigued.

"The combustion efficiency of the body is comparable to that of oil, such a peculiar structure?"

After a while, the monster's corpse was loaded onto the research table, and several scanning devices dismantled from the research ship scanned it, and the data was quickly analyzed.

It also amazed the three of them for a moment.

"It's incredible, it's literally living coal."

"The neuronal system is so perfect, it belongs to the category of intelligent creatures."

"And the cell activity is very high, and the adaptability is very high."

"How did you kill this monster?"

After reading the data, Qiao An asked the two strangely, and the two shook their heads, "It's not difficult to kill it, it's just a matter of one shot." ”

"Shouldn't it be, it didn't attack you?"

"It was an attacking stance, but we didn't do it, and we just killed it."

“……”

Joan looked at the dead monsters, a little unsure of how they survived, maybe it would be clearer with a few more samples.

"That's it for now, don't go far these days."

"Now that you've found the silicon ore, let's get the semiconductors and other circuit parts out first."

"Then we can set up some security equipment to prevent these monsters from suddenly appearing."

Johnny and Joseph nodded, and then went to rest, physically and mentally exhausted after the long journey.

Joan stayed in the research room, silently analyzing the monster's data.

The next day.

They arrived at the site of their discovery of silicon ore with printing equipment and materials.

Soon, the construction of the three devices attached to the mine belt was completed, although this is not comparable to the mineral mining capacity of the colonized planet, but it is enough to mine the minerals exposed here and repair the ship.

After another half an hour, several furnaces were set up next to the Mineral Gathering Station.

Several conveyor belts connect each other, and the mined minerals are fed directly to the furnace, where they are refined directly into silica, which is then transported from one end to the other.

Johnny had seven photovoltaic panels on the side, barely getting everything up and running.

But that's just the beginning, as a two-kilometre-long conveyor belt needs to be built, and at regular intervals, multiple photovoltaic panels need to be placed.

The conveyor belt will go directly to the camp's automated manufacturing facility, where the refined ore will be forged into high-purity silicon blocks, which will then be combined with other components to form circuit components.

The most basic intelligent process begins in this way.

A few days later, a processor half a meter in size was successfully manufactured.

The three of them were overjoyed!

This means that their plan is feasible, and the next step is to optimize it to a few centimeters in size, and then the communication station can be set up.

The processor is not useless, it acts as a modulator to control the transport of the conveyor belt in case of congestion, etc.

This is especially true in the future when there are many conveyor belts.

In the days that followed, they continued to build mining rigs, fabricate facilities, and have conveyor belts in all directions to transport basic resources back to the camp.

Stone ore, iron ore, silicon ore, fully automatic production is smoothly carried out.

The camp has also been expanded to three kilometres.

In an underground resource exploitation, groundwater was also dug up, which made the three people who were about to be short of water resources happy.

They all sighed that His Majesty blessed, and there was nothing to do anyway, so they took out the long incense that had not been destroyed and burned it, and even bowed down.

But unfortunately, there is also a proverb in mystical orientalism, which is called blessing and misfortune.

The three of them weren't happy for long, when the herd attacked.

Although the camp was not attacked, the conveyor belts and photovoltaic panels were destroyed from time to time, directly ruining their advanced production plans.

There were too many mining sites, and the three of them couldn't keep them, so they were depressed.

Gradually, the resource output of the entire camp stagnated.

Finally, after Joseph handed in a blueprint for manufacturing with dark circles under his eyes, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

【Self-Defense Turret】

This turret can lock onto intruders and fire basic kinetic ammunition for general security needs.

As a magnetic launch, it does not require much energy, and the ammunition only needs iron sheets, which is just right to defend against invading monsters.

Only Joseph, who specializes in physics, can design the blueprint for this weapon in a short period of time.

"Alright, it's time to give these damn beasts a hard shot!"

Joseph walked out of the camp with a kinetic gun in his hand and a printer on his back.

Joan and Johnny followed, and more than twenty were built along the conveyor belt, according to the range of the turrets, enough to cover the area where the gathering machinery was located.

As they expected, all the monsters that came to attack the conveyor belt or the gathering device were directly bombarded by the turrets one by one.

They either fled or died under the turrets, and their bodies were transported back to the camp.

Based on their properties, Johnny and Joan developed a power station that uses monster bodies as fuel.

The energy level of the camp has skyrocketed.

The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and it has been half a year since they fell to the alien star.

The basic materials have been met, and the energy demand has reached a basic level.

The trio began to work on more sophisticated materials, as well as more efficient ways of producing buildings and energy.

For example, the second generation of optimized automatic manufacturing facilities, faster and more energy-efficient conveyor belts, and advanced furnaces with 100% higher refining efficiency.....

They are confident that in half a year, the communication station will be officially built.

Return to Great Summer, just around the corner!
