Chapter 121: East Factory

Ma Zhe, who was very irresponsible, came to the undersea base, closed his eyes and threw his consciousness into the lunar base in outer space.

After preliminary geological exploration, Ma Zhe finally chose a huge lunar sea on the far side of the moon as a development base!

The so-called Moon Sea refers to the relatively low-lying plains on the lunar surface, which appear to be a large area of dark areas.

Although the Moon Sea is called "Sea", it is naturally waterless, and its surface is covered with rock formations similar to the Earth's basalt, called the Moon Sea Basalt, which is rich in iron and titanium compared to the Earth's basalt, and is one of the main sources of steel for the future of the Moon Base!

At the same time, titanium and other by-products can be used to produce small robots of common materials.

Because it has not been refined, the devouring efficiency of the mechanical insect on this native ore is extremely low, so Ma Zhe did not choose to let the mechanical insect directly devour the moon sea basalt at the beginning, but took local materials and frantically made ordinary materials.

After two days of development, the robot bug has established a small nuclear fusion energy center and computer control center in the center of this moon sea! The moon base is taking shape!

In a small area centered on the base, thousands of ordinary Xiaogui robots are riding on short legs, operating various mining tools for mining work.

With the expansion of the scale of iron ore mining on the earth, the mining behavior mode of Xiaogui robots has been optimized by a large amount of data, and it is becoming more and more intelligent! Its mining efficiency is also gradually improving!

However, the environment of the Moon and the Earth is always different, in addition to the absence of atmosphere, the gravity of the surface of the Moon is only 1/6 of the gravity of the Earth.

Therefore, from time to time, there will be small robots that move out of shape due to excessive output, but after some parameter adjustment by Ma Zhe, this situation is rapidly improving!

The heavy mining work is handed over to ordinary Xiaogui, and at this moment, only a small number of mechanical bugs are working hard to build a closed factory - a small steel mill!

Ma Zhe does not have the relevant construction technology of the steel mill at hand, but the main technical difficulties in this kind of heavy industry actually lie in the control accuracy of industrial equipment and the intelligence of the automation system, and these two things happen to be Ma Zhe's strengths!

The rest of the technical points such as process flow and control technology can be easily found in many public literatures, thanks to the information age of knowledge sharing!

Ma Zhe just took a little time, sorted out the relevant technical literature on the Internet, and looked up some advanced factory layouts and technological processes, and quickly came up with the corresponding improvement design drawings!

For the current Ma Zhe, the low technical content of the steel plant is simply not worth mentioning!

Compared to the Earth, the low gravity and vacuum environment of the Moon provide an excellent smelting environment for the development of a large-scale steelmaking industry!

……

While the mechanical worms at the moon base were building a steelmaking plant according to the design drawings provided by Ma Zhe, Ma Zhe took the time to retract his mind and began to use most of his computing power to start the final design work on Super Return!

At this time, the mechanical bugs had already digested all the loot, including the Izumo and the F-35A, and the EMP small missile was a surprise, and it was also acquired by Ma Zhe and became one of the optional weapons of the Super Return!

On the basis of the original preliminary design, Ma Zhe added some desirable features of the internal structure of the helicopter carrier and optimized some flaws in the design.

"Hmmm! Some of the technologies in the F-35A are indeed very different from the Thunder model for sale, there are places that can be used for reference, and the design of the silver shuttle can be further optimized, and the performance should be improved by another 10 percentage points by combining the East and the West.

The Izumo's anti-submarine equipment is really rich! The design of these anti-submarine missiles is a little interesting!

Although the helicopter equipment is a bit backward to me, after miniaturization, the excellent hovering ability of the rotary-wing UAV can make up for the gap in our air power in the case of narrow space street fighting......"

Ma Zhe gradually perfected the internal details of the Super Return one by one!

Three hours later......

"Haha! It's finally done! ”

Ma Zhe, who has digested most of the world's advanced civilian science and technology and a considerable part of military science and technology, combined with the material characteristics of the mechanical insect itself, has carefully built the strongest weapon, and at this moment, it is only one step away from being able to appear in the eyes of the world!

However, Ma Zhe is not in a hurry to carry out the final assembly, and the Super Return in the design needs to occupy about 30,000 tons of mechanical worms, which is a great waste of resources for Ma Zhe, who is in full swing!

So for the time being, the Super Return can only stay on paper!

As for sea trials? I'm not even afraid of sinking, what do you want for a sea trial?

……

Ma Zhe, who had just completed the final drawing design of the Super Return, soon received a report from the mechanical bug, and the first steel plant on the lunar base was also completed at this time!

"It's hard work!" Ma Zhe sighed and immediately turned back to check the situation at the lunar base.

It only took three hours for the robot bug to build a boxy, fully enclosed building on the moon base!

According to calculations, the designed monthly production capacity of this steelmaking plant is about 100,000 tons of steel, which is temporarily enough to supply the initial breeding needs of mechanical insects.

Ma Zhe nodded with satisfaction, and then immediately gave the order to start running the steel plant!

A large number of small return robots began to put iron-rich basalt that had undergone preliminary screening into the feed port.

After preliminary reduction and electric furnace refining, soon a hot steel red stream flowed from the tap port into a huge concave container pool, splashing countless fiery red steel flowers!

Looking from the sky above the moon, it is like a small fire lit in the darkness, and what is about to bloom there is the flower of civilization!

The red-hot molten steel rolls in the container pool and cools slowly.

Subsequently, the batch of mechanical insect seeds that had just completed the construction of the steel plant immediately jumped into the hot steel pool of thousands of degrees and began to multiply rapidly!

Crazy to make mining small returns!

Steelmaking madness!

Crazy multiplying mechanical bugs!

This is Ma Zhe's initial functional positioning of this lunar base!

"In other words, this is my first lunar base, and it can be said to be a milestone event for the earth's civilization to fully land on the moon! How can you say that this base should also have a bright name?

Moon? Seems a little too ordinary! It's a name that makes an impression at first sight! Ma Zhe touched his chin.

Robotic Bug: "......"

"Hmm...... The direction of the moon's revolution is from west to east, and the direction of rotation is also from west to east! So the location of the base should be the easterly location on the far side of the moon, the steel mill in the east? Then it's decided! Your name is ...... East Factory! ”

Robotic bug: "......" (lll¬ω¬)

Hey, hey! The milestones of the moon will cry! Absolutely!
