……

"Unlock the blue candy and jump directly to the top of the list?" Glancing over his copy panel, Xu Mu was slightly surprised.

I thought these people could be a little more resistant.

However, considering that there are a lot of materials required to unlock the blue sugar.

1,000 magnetic coils and 1,000 circuit boards alone are enough to make players suffer from torture.

What's more, if you want to make these things, you also need a lower-level production line to close.

If you don't have such a clear idea of yourself, it's normal that you can't keep up with the speed of civilization improvement.

Of course, this is the time difference between my fingers, and I can't take it lightly.

After all, there are more than a dozen players following closely behind, and there is not much difference between them.

It is easy to be overtaken by a short rest.

If it was before, it didn't matter if it was overtaken and it was overtaken.

But rushing to the first place actually has a 1% efficiency acceleration bonus.

Then I'm sorry.

From now on, I'd rather call me superthan the world, not the supersuperses!

……

The so-called industrial civilization has four treasures: the logistics system should be done well, semiconductors should not be less, electromagnetic drive is the key, and thermal power generation is increasing!

Judging from the progress of the main line given by the dungeon panel, as long as these four key technologies are unlocked.

We will be able to leap forward from industrial civilization and further move towards modern civilization!

The logistics system is easy to understand, that is, the conveyor belts on the assembly line of each production workshop, as well as packaging, transportation and so on.

Of course, in the copy of Dyson Sphere, the burden of packaging and shipping is carried on a conveyor belt.

It is only necessary to arrange the arrangement of the conveyor belt reasonably.

This thing is also the key to affecting the efficiency of production capacity in the later stage.

In his previous life, when Xu Mu first played "Dyson Sphere", he had suffered a lot of losses from swinging the conveyor belt.

When civilization develops to the middle and late stages, all technologies are inserted into the entire home planet like acupuncture veterans.

The conveyor belt will look like a tortoiseshell tie tied by a novice in the alphabet circle, and it will be a mess.

Even, when one of the industrial chains is shut down due to accidents, it cannot be traced back to the source at all.

Because, when you're trying to go backwards from the end of the conveyor belt to find out which line is going wrong.

You'll find that a conveyor belt, like a tape wrapping, is randomly pointing at an unrelated machine.

All roads lead to Rome, and they belong to yes.

At this point, there is a problem with your conveyor belt structure.

Then the contradiction comes.

Tear it down, it's too messy.

If you don't dismantle it, he's stuck in it and won't move.

Wow, it's it.

Therefore, the arrangement of the conveyor belt is particularly critical.

According to the experience of previous lives, it is best to arrange it in a shape similar to the 'jie'.

The place where the prefix prefixes refer to the raw materials that need to be processed.

The two vertical lines represent the arrangement of the conveyor belt, which is flanked by a manufacturing table or furnace.

When a subsequent high-level material requires the synthesis of four or even more than five low-grade materials.

This method is also applicable, which is nothing more than to stuff a few more vertical lines into the word 'jie'.

Just do what you say.

Xu Mu opened the technology tree panel and found the [Technology and Basic Logistics System] in it

Consume 10 blue sugar to unlock.

In addition to the fact that this thing consumes 1,000 circuit boards and 1,000 magnetic coils to unlock.

The materials used to produce blue sugar in the future are only 5 parts circuit board and 5 parts magnetic coils.

However, these are all Class II materials, and in order to make them, they must first be refined from the original iron ore and copper ore into Class I materials, and then processed into Class II materials through the production table.

It's very cumbersome.

At the beginning, hundreds of blue sugar were made, and the waist was not sore, and the legs did not hurt.

But in the future, when the demand for blue sugar is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

If you don't have a decent fully automated industrial chain, then wait and cry.

Take your eyes off the tech tree, turn your mind, and unlock it successfully!

After the basic logistics system is unlocked, three new application props are also unlocked: conveyor belt, storage bin, and sorter (setting: as long as the conveyor belt and sorter are unlocked in the dungeon, they can be provided infinitely, and they can be used directly, because if you make a conveyor belt and a sorter, you will have to add several more production lines, which is more cumbersome and not conducive to reading, so it is simplified.) )

【Conveyor belt】

[Function: Transporting the produced resources to the designated location]

[Efficiency: 200/min]

[Energy consumption: 0.01kw/h]

……

【Sorter】

[Function: Sort the resources on the conveyor belt into the processing machine, and at the same time sort out the processed resources. 】

[Efficiency: subject to the conveyor belt conveying efficiency]

[Energy consumption: 0.01kw/h]

……

【Small storage compartment】

[Function: used to store products]

[Space: 50 blocks, 1 block for every 100 groups of the same material]

[Energy consumption: none]

……

With these three, Xu Mu can pull the production line unscrupulously.

Let's start with a production line dedicated to iron ore mining!

From the entrance of the mining machine, pull out a long conveyor belt.

Then 10 arc furnaces are placed on the left side of the conveyor belt in one go.

Set the furnace to 'produce only iron plates'.

Subsequently, the input sorters were set up separately.

At the back of the furnace, pull another conveyor belt and extend it, and also plug in the output sorter behind the furnace.

Finally, place a storage bin at the end so that the conveyor belt connects directly to the storage box.

At this point, a lowest-level perfect automation industry has been produced!

After the iron ore is mined.

It is continuously transported out by the conveyor belt.

When passing through the arc furnace, it is picked up by the sorter and refined into the furnace to be refined into a grade I material iron plate.

Once refined, the output sorter picks up the resources to another conveyor belt and feeds them all the way to the storage bins.

A production line specializing in the production of iron plates can be easily handled, integrating mining, refining and storage.

Xu Mu glanced at the output.

[Iron plate (grade I) material: 202/min]

At present, the upper limit of iron ore mining is 202/min, and the corresponding iron plate output is only so much.

It is necessary to expand the production capacity of virgin minerals!

After thinking about it, Xu Mu built several mining machines to surround a circle of iron ore, and it didn't leak!

A square conveyor belt is wrapped around the perimeter of several mining machines, surrounding the iron ore area.

The iron ore produced is rotated around a square conveyor belt, similar to the baggage pick-up area in an airport.

It was then imported into the iron plate production line that he had built earlier.

The copper mining area is also concocted, with a circle of mining machines and a circle of conveyor belts on the periphery.

Let the copper ore flow into the copper plate production line.

Soon, the efficiency of the original minerals increased.

[Iron ore (raw material): 1176/min]

[Copper ore (primitive): 1176/min]

At this time, it has been about half an hour into the dungeon.

Compared with the initial 60/min hand-rubbed with Icarus, and it is still a single output.

My own mining business has increased its efficiency twenty times!

But there's also bad news.

The current efficiency has been stretched to the limit.

Although the mining machine can make countless units, the mining area in front of you is so small.

If there are only five people in the production room, then even if there are more supplies, the maximum output will only be five people.

This also means that Xu Mu needs to find a new iron ore area.

However, before looking for a new mining area, Xu Mu needs to strengthen his combat effectiveness first.

Although the development of their current civilization is far ahead, sooner or later everyone will have a shortage of mining areas.

Resources are the first element of civilization development!

Instead of saving yourself, you should rob others.

"The original mine output of about 1200/min is enough for the time being, so we will mass-produce blue sugar first, and then go out to see if there are any good mining areas." Xu Mu thought to himself and began to get busy again.

Manufactured blue sugar requires circuit boards and magnetic coils.

The circuit board requires 1 copper plate and 1 iron plate.

There is an iron plate production line, and now another copper plate production line needs to be pulled.

However, Xu Mu was not in a hurry.

Instead, I opened the Replica panel and searched for it.

"Sure enough, there is also this in the copy of "Dyson Sphere"."

As he spoke, he had already clicked on a [Blueprint] option.

Unlike other quests, Dyson Sphere's Blueprints are not unlocked to craft new items.

Instead, the existing production line is copied and pasted in another place.

As long as there are enough resources in the backpack, Icarus will automatically start building.

The benefit is intuitive, so you don't have to do it yourself and rearrange the conveyor belt, furnace, sorter and other miscellaneous things.

After selecting the Blueprint, a blue frame appears in front of you, which can be scaled and scaled as you wish.

Frame the entire 'iron plate production line' that has just been made, copy it, and save it.

A blueprint was made and stored in Xu Mu's backpack.

The process seemed easy and enjoyable.

But be aware.

In the early days of civilization, many players were still rubbing their hands.

Even if it gradually enters the stage of automatic production line, it will be entangled by various complicated and trivial matters such as the planning of the conveyor belt, the placement of the furnace, and so on.

It will take a lot of time.

Looking at the planned, neat and orderly production line blueprint in Xu Mu's hand, its value is self-evident.

Once thrown, it is enough to cause a sensation and crazy rush among players!

Even if it costs 10,000 Red Moon Coins, I'm afraid there are many people who want it.

After all, anything that can buy time with money is worth a lot.

Whether it's longevity, or strategy.

However, Xu Mu did not plan to sell it.

This is a sharp weapon for oneself to lead, sell it for a little money, and then create a bunch of enemies to block yourself?

That's insane.

Soon, Xu Mu took out the blueprint from his backpack.

A virtual grid production line is presented.

Place it near the copper mining area.

As soon as the blueprint landed, Icarus moved.

The device behind it ejected, and the permutations and twists into a small finch unmanned construction machine.

Fly up and down in mid-air, quickly moving back and forth between storage boxes and building areas.

According to the framework designed in the blueprint, the copper plate production line is installed.

After about a minute.

A new copper mine line has also been installed.

After slightly correcting the details, and installing a wind turbine, it will be officially put into operation!

The machine roared and began to increase its horsepower for production.

Xu Mu glanced at the output.

[Iron plate (class I): 1176/min]

【Copper plate (grade I): 1176/min】

Very good, now the production capacity of primary materials has also been pulled up.

The next step is to build the production line of circuit boards.

There is not much difference from the production line of iron plate and copper plate.

However, the furnace needs to be replaced with a crafting table.

Blueprints are still useful, but need to be dismantled and filled in on a small scale.

The whole process took about 5 minutes.

Finally, a complete circuit board production line is complete!

Pull a conveyor belt from each of the iron and copper storage compartments so that the two conveyor belts are parallel to each other at the smallest angle.

Immediately, ten manufacturing tables were placed on the side.

Select the production industry [circuit board]

Connect the sorter, power it up, and start operating efficiently.

Iron and copper plates are collected together in the manufacturing table and processed into a Grade 2 material circuit board!

As a cliché, pull out a conveyor belt from the back of the manufacturing table.

Looking closer, you can see that on the conveyor belt where the output flows, pieces of dark green circuit boards with precision technology are transmitted out and stored in a storage box specially placed by Xu Muxin to store circuit boards.

Glanced at the panel yield.

[Circuit board (grade II) material: 588/min]

Compared to Level 1 materials, Level 2 materials take twice the time to output.

After copying the blueprint of the board, find the open space next to it and paste the blueprint.

Then the production line is replaced with a magnetic coil.

When it was completed, the 588/min magnetic coil production line was also obtained.

After doing all this, Xu Mu will unlock the reward of industrial civilization for the first time, [Matrix Research Station]

Placed at the end of two Class 2 production lines.

This is a scientific research device that resembles a four-horned spider, with four legs curled up and rooted in the ground, with a metallic cold luster on the outside, and the overall appearance is square, half a human in height.

This device could have been made if it had been rubbed by hand by Icarus.

It's just that the process of manufacturing the [Matrix Research Station] involves another completely new material, glass.

The production of glass is inseparable from the stone mine, one of the seven primitive mines.

There was no trace of a stone mine near Xu Mu's birthplace.

Relatively cumbersome.

Fortunately, after the first release of civilization, the system gave away one, saving time and effort.

Unlike other materials, it can be produced in furnaces and manufacturing tables.

Blue sugar and brown sugar are energy crystals that can only be produced through the Matrix Research Station.

But the principle is the same.

Feed in the material and then wait for the research station to process it, eventually synthesizing the blue sugar.

In the same way, two conveyor belts are pulled from the production line of the circuit board and the magnetic coil.

Research station on the access matrix.

And electrified.

Soon, along with the circuit board and magnetic coils, a steady stream of incoming in.

The transparent glass roof above the Matrix Research Station began to 'crackle' and burst into an arc of blue lightning as it entered a working state.

Make another storage bin next to the matrix research station and use it specifically to store blue sugar.

[Blue electromagnetic matrix (grade III material): 20/min]

"Hu ......" saw that the blue sugar was slowly being mass-produced.

Xu Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, with a little bit of joy on his face.

Since its arrival, it has taken nearly an hour to finally complete this cumbersome blue sugar production line.

As the most important link in development, these energy crystals carry the hope of future civilization.

The mass production of 20 pieces of blue sugar per minute is already the production limit of the matrix research station.

If you want to mass produce more, you need a large number of research stations.

And the research station needs a stone mine that Xu Mu does not currently have.

"It's time to grab the turf." A touch of seriousness appeared in Xu Mu's eyes.

Immediately opened the mecha panel of Icarus.

It is divided into three categories.

【Battle】

【Construction】

【Operation】

Grabbing turf naturally requires combat effectiveness.

Xu Mu did not hesitate to click on the battle option.

[Energy Bullet (Tier I)]

[Effect: Icarus's left arm is reorganized and deformed, and the energy is converted to launch a powerful fire suppression effect!] 】

[Consumption: 0.1MJ/s]

[Unlock: Blue Matrix*50]

The payout of 50 blue sugar may be as heavy as a mountain for other players at this stage.

But for Xu Muer, who has already achieved mass production of 20 blue sugar per minute, it is not a problem.

Straight to the point!

Soon, Xu Mu, who was sitting in the cabin, found that after the joystick on the left hand side was quickly reorganized and deformed, a red button appeared near the corner where it was convenient for the thumb to be forced.

Turn the nose of Icarus to face a beach clearing.

Xu Mu pressed the red button.

"Squeak~~ Click!"

Icarus' left arm quickly switched to combat form, and a Gatling-like muzzle emerged.

Fire!

Da Da!!

Dense energy bullets poured wantonly into the open space in front of you!

Splashes of crystal clear water! The originally flat beach was quickly pierced into the shape of honeycomb coal.

Try the hard rock ground again.

Powerful firepower can also shatter rocks in an instant!

The battle effect made Xu Mu happy!

"However, the consumption is too high, Icarus only has a total of 10MJ of energy, and normal construction and production can sustain the consumption of half an hour. This translates to 1MJ running for 3 minutes. ”

"But in combat mode, 1MJ can only run for 10 seconds...... There is only 100 seconds of output space to drain the energy. ”

For Xu Mu's cautious attitude of liking to spare no effort to whip the corpse to confirm the enemy's death.

The output time of 100 seconds is really not safe, especially if the opponent has a large number of people, it is difficult to ensure that all enemies are killed within 100 seconds.

After thinking about it, Xu Mu opened the [Operation] panel again.

Soon, his eyes lit up.

Got it!

【Mecha Core (Tier I)】

[Effect: Icarus Core Energy Cap increased by +40MJ]

[Unlock: Blue Matrix*100]

……

Boy!

A 40MJ boost!

This means that you have up to 500 seconds of output space!

That's only about eight minutes.

But sometimes, how long it lasts doesn't mean everything.

Whether the firepower is fierce or not is the key to subduing the enemy army!

As long as the speed is fast enough, eight minutes is enough to make the enemy mouth spit powder, his eyes are full of stars, and his hands are more than yes twice.

Counting the 100 blue sugars rewarded by the system, plus the 180 blue sugars that you have produced in a few minutes now.

Unlocking the mech core is not a difficult task.

Submit the materials and confirm the unlock!

"Huh!"

It's like pouring a lot of oil into a mech.

The energy bar on Icarus' panel skyrocketed in an instant!

Xu Mu looked at the dozens of pieces of blue sugar left in his pocket.

With the idea of making the most of everything, I rummaged through the mecha panel again.

Sure enough, he quickly turned out another good skill in the [Run] option.

【Finch UAV Improvement Technology (Class I)】

[Effect: After improvement, the drone can be controlled independently, +30% construction speed, and increased reconnaissance ability!] 】

[Reconnaissance: After customizing the path, send a drone to conduct a low-altitude reconnaissance of the designated area, and broadcast the picture in real time on the Icarus main brain light screen]

[Consumption: 0.5MJ/min]

[Unlock: Blue Matrix*50]

[Warning: If the drone is destroyed, it will be automatically recycled into the Icarus device for repair, and the repair will cost the Blue Matrix*100, please choose the reconnaissance area carefully!] 】

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles.

There's nothing to say, choose to study decisively!

Even if it is really destroyed, it is only a matter of 100 blue sugar, and the output of five minutes.

But once you find useful information, it can be of great help!

In one go, Icarus's three skills have been improved, and his combat power has changed qualitatively!

"If I'm not mistaken, those two guys should have been stationed not far from the neighborhood, over there is a larger mining area." Xu Mu sighed in his heart.

Regardless of whether the other party is hostile or not, since everyone has descended on the same home planet, there is nothing to be polite about.

Take advantage of your current lead and eliminate the nearest player first!

……

"Brother Ji, why didn't that kid join us?" An Icarus came to a halt in the mine, and while the production line was being built, a young man wearing a bib jumped out of the mech cabin.

And took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, and lit them skillfully: "Don't you understand the reason why everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high?" The three stinkers are also Zhuge Liang. ”

There are also some circulation items such as food, tobacco and alcohol, which can only be used in the dungeon.

It's just cyberfood, although the experience is not much different from reality.

But even if you have a full stomach after eating in the dungeon, you will still be hungry in reality, and you will be sleepy when you should be sleepy.

Otherwise, everyone can find a safe copy to get into it to avoid the limelight, eat, drink and sleep in it, and by the way, find a young and beautiful NPC to solve their physiological needs, and be directly isolated from the world, who is still addicted to reality?

"Whatever, this kind of lone wolf is still rare." The man known as Brother Chicken didn't care, his eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him, and he drove the mecha out of the last conveyor belt, and then he was a little proud.

"See? Fully automated production line for iron plates! In this way, we can free our hands with the iron plate. ”

"Rub, Brother Chicken, why is your conveyor belt twisted like a chicken crawling?" The man in the hat complained.

"You just say it's not made!" Brother Chicken snorted.

The man in the hat swept the production panel at a glance.

[Iron plate (Class I): 58/min]

"Okay, you're awesome."

"Do you think it's easy to get it? This thing still has to be connected to the furnace, and it has to be connected to the mining machine, and what kind of sorter has to be organized, which is a cumbersome stroke. My initial idea was to connect a conveyor belt outlet to the miner and a furnace to the end. Just pull a straight line. ”

"Isn't that the same shape as a dumbbell?"

"Yes, but that kind of production line is too grinding, and I had to add two more furnaces next to it after I finished building it, and then I had to pull the conveyor belt again, and finally it became this chicken crawling assembly line." Brother Ji pouted helplessly.

"Anyway, we're 80% ahead of the players." The man in the hat laughed.

"But it's just a lack of copper." Brother Ji frowned: "We don't have a shortage of iron ore mines and coal mines, but we don't give a single piece of copper ore...... This is not conducive to subsequent development. ”

Hearing this, the man in the hat was stunned.

glanced at the end of the horizon, and then leaned closer to Brother Ji and whispered in a low voice.

"Brother Ji, when we first passed by, there was a large copper mine behind that kid......"

"What do you mean......"

"Yes."

"Isn't it going to be a little bad? I don't think there's any hostility on the part of that kid. ”

"Brother Ji, your pattern is small, we just gave him a chance, he didn't join us, is this our loss? It's his loss! The man in the hat took a puff of his cigarette, discarded the cigarette butt casually, and said, "What stage of civilization are we now?" Iron plate output 58 per minute! With the copper plate, I will go to the level 2 material in minutes! ”

"But ......"

"We're far more than 80% of the players! You're a! ”

"Hmm......" Brother Ji heard this, his eyes flashed with a little emotion: "But we don't have combat strength now, so we can't go over and pull his hair, right?" ”

"your ass! What do you see this is? The man in the hat flipped his palm and took out a palm-sized energy cube from his backpack with an extraordinarily regular shape, which exuded a faint blue luster.

"! Blue sugar? Where did you get that? Brother Ji's expression trembled slightly.

Just now, he also heard the regional announcement, and in the eighth spiral arm where he was located, there was a big guy who took the lead in unlocking the 'Blue Electromagnetic Matrix'.

He also specially opened the material panel to search for a long time, and then he understood the importance of blue sugar.

Not only is it a key material to unlock the subsequent tech tree, but it is also an important item to upgrade Icarus!

However, blue sugar belongs to the level 3 material, and they have not even pulled out the industrial line of the level 2 material now, which is out of reach.

"Hand rubbing, it takes my boss's nose to strengthen, I started to rub it from the time you pulled the production line just now, and it took half an hour to rub it out." The man in the hat had a little excitement on his face: "But this thing is really fierce!" Icarus has the most basic combat form, and only needs one blue sugar to fire! The power is similar to that of a pistol in the real world, except that the rate of fire is a little slower, and the energy is only enough to fire 10 bullets, but it is enough to deal with that kid. ”

"Okay!" Brother Ji finally nodded vigorously.

It's only been an hour now, and more than 80% of players have pulled out a level 2 industrial chain by themselves.

What's more, there is also a blue sugar body.

Although there is only one.

But it also initially has confrontational capital.

"Hurry up! If it's too late, when that kid also rubs out the blue sugar, we will be evenly matched again, and you won't be able to get the copper mine you want. The man in the hat climbed back into the mecha bay with excitement on his face.

Kill him! Rob him mine! And then take over the kid's industrial chain by the way.

Steady up, maybe you can touch the guys in the Northern Hemisphere!

Just when the two of them controlled the mecha and were just about to attack.

Not far away.

On the horizon with a slight arc.

A huge mecha figure slowly emerged.

A man in a white trench coat can be seen sitting in the cockpit.

I saw him push down the remote control stick suddenly.

The pilot's left arm was quickly modified and deformed, and the muzzle of a three-chambered Gatling gun appeared, glowing with a cold metallic sheen.

The two sides looked at each other, without any nonsense.

The next moment!

Dada!!

Countless shuttle bullets were slicked out, and the rate of fire was almost as high as 2000 revolutions per minute!

The artillery roared, and a vacuum zone of fire suppression was formed in an instant!

It's just that this consistent firepower did not fall on the mecha of Brother Ji and the man in the hood.

The target, on the contrary, is the iron plate production line that they have just made with great difficulty!

After only three seconds of firepower, a pile of industrial machines suddenly turned into smoky broken copper and iron.

To destroy you, start with the destruction of your civilization!

In this way, even if you accidentally run away, your civilization will always lag behind me!

This is also a plan that Xu Mu had already made when he had not yet sent troops.

After the dust and mist dissipated, Brother Ji looked at the mecha that was getting closer and closer not far away, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Rhubarb...... How many bullets did you say your Icarus could fire? ”

The man in the hat was also glazed, obviously shocked by the huge gap between the two sides, speechless.

After a while, his lips trembled and he spoke: "10...... The power of 10 pistol bullets ......"

"Is this still beating you! Come on!!! Brother Ji immediately made a decision and shouted.

Brothers, give everyone a greeting in advance for the early years!

The New Year is falling fast~

Although it has been a single update in the past few days, the number of words in a chapter is really not small, so I cheekily begged for a monthly pass and kowtowed to the bigwigs!

Bang bang bang!

(End of chapter)
