Chapter 75: The Cornerstone of Heavy Industry Development! Thermal power station! Let the whole hemisphere shine with the light of Antarctica!

I can't run away.

Indiscriminately covered machine gun fire, instantly blasting two Icaruses to smithereens!

The man in the hat didn't figure it out until he died.

Obviously, everyone is developing on the same starting line.

Even when they encountered Xu Mu for the first time, Xu Mu still stood in place in a daze and did not take any action.

How has it only been an hour.

I finally rubbed a brown candy out of my hand, and I was complacently ready to attack you.

As a result, how do you eat blue sugar as jelly beans?

The covering fire of this machine gun fire consumes at least 10 pieces of blue sugar per minute!

What god can get 10 pieces of brown sugar in the first hour?

The man in the hat couldn't figure out the problem, but Brother Ji helped him figure it out.

Because of the distance between Brother Ji's position, the man in his back hat died in one step.

At the same time, I also saw a pop-up when a companion was killed, and the player's ID was called.

A.

"! The kid who killed us just now was actually a god! After being eliminated first, as soon as he returned to the dimensional realm, Brother Ji was shocked.

"Rub? Really? The man in the hat also stood in awe: "If it is at the hands of God A...... It's really not wronged, the big guy who is in the Quasi-Ascending God Realm is still ruthless, and he will give us seconds directly......"

"But I'm still curious." Brother Ji was puzzled: "The survival copy disables all abilities, and everyone is on the same running line, why are we thrown away so much by him?" ”

"I just pulled out a production line of grade 1 materials, and he can directly make blue sugar of grade 3 materials...... What a discrepancy this is! ”

"Moreover, judging from the instant burst of firepower of the mecha just now, he has even completed the mass production of blue sugar...... Otherwise, you wouldn't dare to play like this! ”

"Mass production of blue sugar, I drop ghosts ......" The man in the hat showed a shocked face: "Mass production of blue sugar in the first hour, this is too exaggerated......"

The man in the hat had rubbed the blue sugar with his own hands, and he knew how difficult it was.

The hand-rubbing process was already quite tedious, and it took him half an hour to figure it out.

If you want to mass production, you need to reasonably plan the sequencing of close to ten production lines.

It's simple.

But he just saw with his own eyes that Brother Ji was about to dry burn the CPU just by pulling a production line.

Ten production lines......

"Forget it, God's things don't need to be so clear. The fact that people can start the pre-task of ascending to the god rank shows that their dungeon comprehension is indeed much higher than ours. Brother Ji shook his head helplessly, and patted the man in the bib on the shoulder again: "Let's go, go offline and find a bar, and watch their copy live while drinking." ”

"Okay."

……

Xu Mu swept across the battlefield at a glance, and the ground was full of messes.

A small civilization that had just developed was destroyed by him in an instant.

Of course, there's not much to say about that.

In this war for resources, which completely follows the law of the jungle, let alone a small civilization.

Even if a large-scale civilization is placed in front of Xu Mu.

He will not hesitate to show no mercy

Keep this civilization and then use it for yourself.

There is no way, the total amount of resources on the home planet is not like the license plate resources, which are new every year, and there are Bodhisattvas who generously donate every year.

The resources of the home planet are fixed, and if you use a little, you will use a little less.

Smaller civilizations are destroyed to cut them off.

In the case of a large civilization as a last resort, it is better to choose to only kill players and keep the industrial line.

Manipulating Icarus, he stepped forward and probed the nearby ore veins.

[Iron ore reserves: 310,781]

[Stone Reserve: 147,879]

[Coal Mine Reserve: 275,866]

Compared to the total amount of ore at his birthpoint, which is less than six figures, this mining area is indeed quite rich, enough to squander for a while.

There are not only the stone mines that Xu Mu needs, but also the mines of the blood of industrial civilization - coal mines.

Both of these are the top priorities for Xu Mu's civilization development.

"Let's start by increasing the yield of blue sugar." Xu Mu thought to himself.

In the announcement of the built-in channel just now, he saw that there were already players in the eighth arm who were one step ahead of him and began to explore the second technology of industrial civilization, [Semiconductor Materials].

It's not a big problem, though.

The early stage of infrastructure construction is like the foundation of a house.

Of course, the unstable foundation does not prevent the building from being built, but there will always be an accident.

Just do it yourself at your own pace.

First, a batch of mining machines were built from local materials, and then the blueprint of the Level 1 production line was copied to pull the production line of the stone mine.

It is refined into glass through a furnace.

Pull a separate production line for the manufacture of glass and start mass production [Matrix Research Station]

This thing may not be very useful in the early stages, but it will be enough for many players.

But Xu Mu knew that civilization had developed to the middle stage, and a large amount of blue sugar and brown sugar were needed.

How scarce is the scientific research equipment such as the Matrix Research Station, which can only produce 20 energy crystals per minute?

Waiting for that time to pull the production line production, not to mention the slow progress, it is easy to lead to resource encroachment and stop production of other production lines.

After a busy meal, the matrix research station was able to reach a mass production rate of 10 units per minute.

Only 9 of them were taken, and the excess was stored in the storage box.

Immediately, Xu Mu set it up at the blue sugar production point in his hometown base.

Let's look at mass production.

[Blue Matrix (Level III): 200/min]

"Well, it's enough at this stage." Xu Mu thought to himself, and his eyes were aimed at the technology tree.

【Technology & Semiconductor Materials】

[Function: Unlock the microcrystalline element (Class III), which is the basic technology of the processor to realize high-speed computing functions, and the production of it requires engraving on high-purity silicon wafers to process a three-dimensional structure like a 'city'. 】

【Unlock Required: Blue Matrix*200】

……

【Technology & Electromagnetic Drive】

[Function: Unlock the motor (Level III), the motor is the basic power system component, which can accelerate the operation of the machine]

【Unlock Required: Blue Matrix*100】

……

The role of increasing the yield of blue sugar first is highlighted at this moment.

These two technologies alone require 300 pieces of blue sugar.

Even if other top players have unlocked the blue sugar production now, if they are in a hurry to climb to the next level of civilization.

Then, to unlock these technologies, they need to wait 15 minutes before they can get the blue candy.

What's more, the demand for blue sugar will only get higher and higher in the future.

And Xu Mu only needs to wait for a minute and a half.

In this minute and a half, Xu Mu was not idle.

Instead, a plan for a Level 2 production line was made, and the [Blueprint] function was used to frame it.

After a while, it is easy to replicate large quantities of the second-level production line.

After a short while, two consecutive beeps pop up.

The microcrystalline element and the motor are unlocked one after another.

Xu Mu began to pull the production line non-stop.

As a tertiary material, microcrystalline components require a second-class material such as copper plates, magnetic coils, and chips for synthesis.

Select the blueprint function to pull up the ready-to-use Level 2 production line.

One makes chips, one makes magnetic coils, and one makes copper plates.

The three lines are then integrated and transported to the production table where the microcrystalline components are made.

Soon, a production line for microcrystalline components was completed.

[Microcrystalline element (class III): 30/min]

As the method is concocted, another production line of [motor] is pulled.

After a busy meal, I also got the output of [motor] of 30/min.

After the production of both energy products.

Xu Mu is about to start doing a big thing!

Open the crafting panel and find the [Crafting Table] column.

Click on the details panel of the [Industrial Manufacturing Table].

Soon, a row of different models of manufacturing tables was presented.

The manufacturing table is an important part of industrial development, without which it is impossible to process and synthesize materials, and civilization will not move forward.

The manufacturing table of the primary model can only process secondary materials.

That is, several grade 1 materials are processed into grade 2.

Or several grade 2 materials can be processed into grade 3.

And so on.

But to the manufacturing bench of the intermediate model.

Ability to process raw materials directly into three grades!

In other words, I originally wanted to make a microcrystalline element.

First of all, you need chips, magnetic coils, copper plates, these things.

As a secondary material, the chip needs primary materials such as iron and copper.

Iron also needs to be mined from the original iron ore.

It can be described as interlocking and cumbersome.

It is necessary to pull countless production lines to achieve the goal of finally producing microcrystalline components.

But with the production table of the intermediate model.

Throw a series of raw materials such as iron, copper, and stone directly into it.

Select [Microcrystalline Element]

The intermediate production table will start the process automatically! Skip the intermediate Grade 1 and Grade 2 material production lines and directly synthesize Grade 3 materials!

It's a bit like the 'preset' of modern civilization.

It can be seen that once the industrial civilization begins to move towards intelligence, the changes brought about can be described as earth-shaking!

Just do what you say.

Two production lines were pulled and mass production of the [Intermediate Production Table] began.

In addition to the scattered materials required for the intermediate production table, the two core materials are microcrystalline elements and electric motors.

After a few moments of pounding, a steady stream of intermediate production tables is carried from the conveyor belt to the storage bin.

Xu Mu directly took it out and placed it behind a clearing.

Invested 1,000 Copper Blocks, 1,000 Iron Blocks, and 1,000 Stone Blocks.

Then open the operation interface of the Intermediate Production Table.

Among the hundreds of processing materials, [microcrystalline components] were selected

Get prompted quickly.

[Intermediate production station is making microcrystalline components]

[Output: 30/min]

[Intermediate production table is making electric motors]

[Output: 30/min]

……

"With the intermediate manufacturing table, the efficiency is really different, and a lot of production lines are saved." Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze swept over the civilization index rankings.

[1. A (Player One): 0.27, the second half of industrial civilization]

[2, Shuraji (Doomsday Train): 0.13, the beginning of industrial civilization]

[3, Seeking the Tao (Death Tombstone): 0.13, the beginning of industrial civilization]

[4, Wenyue (shadow): 0.128, the beginning of industrial civilization]

【5、……】

At this point, the attitude of the built-in channel has shifted.

"What's going on? I diligently buried my head in mining, and when I looked up again, how could the A god boss directly 0.27 civilization index? ”

"What's that? How the hell did you come up with this? I've just figured out the production line of chips and electromagnetic circles, and the total civilization index is only 0.08......"

"This gap is desperate......"

"Come on! What about the barking dogs in the Northern Regions just now! Come out and speak! ”

"I have to say that the three giant guilds in the Northern Regions do have two brushes, and they are only twice as far as our A god/dog head/dog head"

"Don't be too happy, it's too early, when the members of our three major guilds in the Northern Regions gather, your bullshit A god will wait to cry!"

"Dian, the players of the Northern Regions are as stubborn as ever, is it so difficult to admit that we in the Southern Regions have stood up this year? /Middle Finger/Middle Finger"

"I know you're in a hurry in the Southern Regions, and you're anxious to prove yourself, but don't worry, where is this, the better days are still to come/Teeth/Teeth"

……

Sweeping the channel at a glance, Xu Mu retracted his gaze.

Although the players on both sides are still fighting each other.

But there is one thing that the players in the Northern Regions are not wrong, and it is also the point that Xu Mu pays the most attention to.

At this stage, players are still struggling to develop on their home planets.

By the middle of civilization, everyone will be able to fly away from their home planet and go to other planets to exploit resources.

It's the real time of the big war!

Especially large guilds, after hundreds or thousands of members gather.

The speed of mass production of resources will increase explosively! There will be a qualitative change in the civilization development index!

Judging from the civilization index sweep just now.

The top players at this stage have already unlocked the blue sugar, at the beginning of industrial civilization.

And the mainstream players have also slowly figured out the layout of the production line, and are sprinting to the level 2 production line.

I want to have good combat power in Star Wars.

Then you need to beat the time!

Take the lead in developing the civilization level to the level of crushing, which is commonly known as the dimensionality reduction strike!

Destroy a threatening player civilization before it is solidified!

And want to do that.

In addition to the large number of resource outputs, there is another important indicator.

Generation!

However, there are many forms of energy.

Wind energy, thermal energy, hydro energy (gravitational potential energy), solar energy, nuclear energy, and a range of others.

But the most stable of them is controlled by humans.

Or is it only electricity.

So, whether it's wind, water, heat, solar energy.

Eventually, it will be converted into electricity by humans.

You don't see, after mankind has mastered nuclear fission technology.

Why is it used for energy supply, it is not called a nuclear fission wind station, nor is it called a nuclear fission heating station?

Rather, it is called a nuclear fission power station, or a nuclear power plant for short?

Including wind power stations, which also convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity.

In the early years of civilization, there were pure windmills, or water windmills.

They are not converted into electrical energy, and only use wind or water to allow machinery to do work.

But with the advancement of science and technology, it has long been obsolete by the times.

That's because electricity is the least lost energy source in the energy conversion!

Even if it is 0.01 kWh, as long as it is supplied, it can make the machine do the work that 0.01 kWh should do.

As for wind energy, humans can control a part of the wind flow.

However, if the wind is too small, it will even directly counteract the force with the fan blades.

I can't even blow the fan blades, so I can't talk about doing work.

And the wind is so strong that it can even destroy the machine directly.

And it can't be 100% absorbed.

A gust of wind blows in your face, can you say that all the wind is used to do work?

Obviously not, a significant portion of wind energy is wasted on the spot.

It's blown and it's blown over, and it's no wonder I didn't get it.

Not only wind energy, but other energy sources also have more or less defects of one kind or another.

Only the electric energy that can be stopped anytime and anywhere, become bigger if you want to be bigger, and become smaller if you want to be smaller, has become a safe and efficient energy source.

Therefore, before the new energy source that is safer, more efficient and less loss-intensive than electric energy is studied, the ultimate destination of all energy is to convert it into electricity.

Xu Mu opened his current civilization panel.

Nearly two hours of countersunk manufacturing.

There are now nearly 1,000 machines in operation in the two mines!

And the power consumption of these thousands of machines is as high as 800kw+

He had 100 wind farms alone to stabilize the operation of the machines.

But wind power plants also have an area of land.

In the beginning, the land was large and sparse, except for the mining area, which was almost empty.

Wind farms are not enough to attract attention.

But now, 100 wind power stations have been laid, and the wind farms have stretched for nearly a few kilometers to ensure that the machines everywhere have electricity supply!

Further back, unlocked machines will get bigger and bigger, and power consumption will get higher and higher.

At that time, even if the entire home planet is monopolized, I am afraid that there will be an embarrassing situation where half of the area is a production line and the other half is a power station.

Again, the space principle, a room can only fit 5 workers, then the maximum efficiency of the production line is only 5 workers.

In order to make the medium-term development a little smoother.

Xu Mu needs to make some improvements now.

Open the technology tree and decisively use 200 pieces of blue sugar to unlock the [Technology Thermal Power Station]

Soon, the details of the thermal power station were presented to him.

【Thermal Power Station】

[Type: Class II power generation equipment]

[Power generation: 1.0MW/h]

[Consumption: Electricity from all combustibles]

[Manufacturing: Microcrystalline element*5, motor*5, gear*20, iron plate*50]

……

One megawatt of power generation!

One is directly equivalent to 100 10kw wind power stations!

And the floor space is saved by 100 times!

These are the benefits.

The disadvantage is that its main combustion material is coal mines, and a new coal mining line needs to be built.

Not to mention that many players now have no coal mines at their spawn points.

Even with coal mines, the construction of a new production line is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In the minds of many players, the development of civilization is the most important.

Wind turbines are cheap and easy to make, and they can be released as you go, without the need for coal mines.

You go and tinker with other electrical energy, isn't that spreading the effort?

If the electricity is not enough, let's put a few more wind turbines to save all the time and use it to develop civilization!

Of course, Xu Mu also thought so in his previous life.

Later, he paid the price for his stupid idea to reopen the file many times.

Xu Mu, who has experience, knows the importance of thermal power stations.

He plans to spare some time to build a batch of thermal power stations first.

After having an intermediate production table, Xu Mu saved a lot of time for pulling the secondary production line.

In just a few minutes, the first brand new thermal power station was built.

Place it on the ground for the first time.

A clear chime sounded loudly.

[Congratulations to 'A' for becoming the first player in the eighth spiral arm to enter the 'era of modern civilization' in the north of the Ulyang system!] Get additional rewards: Blue Electromagnetic Matrix*1000, Red Energy Matrix*100, and unlock the ability to explore planets! 】

After the beep rings.

The built-in channel exploded directly!

"What the hell?? This is modern civilization?? ”

"Shhh I just unlocked the blue candy on my horse...... A god even has brown sugar? ”

"Primitive people tremble and dare not speak......"

"Woo woo, A god boss take me, I'm your ten-year female fan! I really can't play this copy! ”

"God A, do you want your blueprint for production, do you need some exciting voice? I'm Loriyin, I hum it very well, huh~"

Xu Mu glanced at the channel message.

The face is closed expressionlessly.

Now the young sister, really.

Lolita wants a blueprint?

Reject the juvenile aesthetic, start with you and him!

……

After unlocking the modern civilization, you get an additional 3% efficiency bonus for the whole production line.

However, Xu Mu was not in a hurry to start developing modern civilization.

The wind farms that had just been laid out were removed one by one, and a large area of vacant land was also saved.

At the same time, the parent star also slowly orbited the far side of the gas planet as it orbited.

Huge celestial shadows obscure the light of distant stars.

The home planet entered a brief eternal night.

Thousands of machines that are powered up each emit a partial glow to alert the player that they are running.

But as Xu Mu kept pulling out the power station equipment, the machines also turned off in an instant, one after another.

In just a few minutes, the wind farm was completely removed.

Xu Mu's industrial chain across the two mining areas was all suspended.

It was as if there was a dead silence, and it was pitch black.

And in the next moment.

After the first group of coal mines slowly flowed down the conveyor belt into the thermal power station.

Airplanes!!!

The fire in the furnace is blazing!

The invisible electric current begins to supply quickly like a swimming snake, and it quickly recharges through the wire network of each machine!

Almost in the blink of an eye.

Thousands of machines have their energy indicators flashing at the same time! Like the stars in the deep night sky.

Abundant to the extreme, so that the machines exude a dazzling variety of luster!

Not only lit up the ground.

In the polar night environment, scattered rays of light are reflected in the shallow sky, refracting thin lines of colored silk in the atmosphere, like the aurora.

Swipe the data panel at a glance.

【List of important resource production capacity】

[Iron ore (grade I): 2687/min]

[Copper Ore (Grade I): 2561/min]

【Quarry (I.): 1263/min】

[Coal Mine (Class I): 784/min]

[Chip (Class II): 974/min]

[Magnetic coil (grade II): 913/min]

[Blue Matrix (Level III): 200/min]

【Microcrystalline element (class III): 60/min】

[Motor (Class III): 60/min]

[Total number of work machines: 1078 units]

[Power consumption: 1.02MW]

[Power generation: 10.00MW]

"Well, 10 thermal generators are enough for the current needs, and then it's time to mass produce brown sugar, and then start customizing the ball slaughter plan." The resources of the two mining areas in front of him have reached the limit of production capacity for Xu Mu.

In order to seek a higher speed of development.

It's time to start exterminating all players on the entire home planet!

I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep directly...... Sorry sorry, in order to make up for it, three more today! Fight!
