There is no way to escape.
The indiscriminate machine gun fire instantly blasted the two Ikaros into pieces!
The man in the hat never figured it out until he died.
Obviously, we all start from the same starting line.
Even when they encountered Xu Mu for the first time, Xu Mu just stood there in a daze without taking any action.
How come only an hour has passed?
I finally rubbed out some blue sugar with my hands, and was complacently preparing to attack you.
But when it comes to you, how come you eat blue sugar as candy beans?
The covering firepower of this machine gun sweep consumes at least 10 blue sugars per minute!
What kind of person can get 10 pieces of blue candy within an hour of starting the game?
Brother Ji helped the man in the hat figure out the problem that he couldn't understand.
Because of the distance that Brother Ji was standing at, the man behind him who was covered in a hat was killed in one step.
At the same time, I also saw the prompt that popped up when my companion was killed. The player’s ID was called.
A.
"Shit! The guy who just killed us was actually God A!" After being eliminated first and just returning to the dimension, Brother Ji said in shock.
“Shit? Is that true?” The man in the cap also stood in awe: “If we died at the hands of God A… it really wasn’t unfair. The quasi-god-level boss was really ruthless. He killed us in seconds…”
"But I'm still curious." Brother Ji asked in confusion: "All abilities are disabled in the survival copy. Everyone starts at the same starting line. Why are we so far behind him?"
"I just built a production line for level 1 materials, and he can even produce blue sugar for level 3 materials... What a huge gap!"
"Moreover, judging from the instant burst of firepower from the mecha just now, he has even completed the mass production of blue sugar... otherwise he wouldn't dare to play like this!"
"Mass production of blue sugar, my Guigui..." The man in the cap was shocked: "Mass production of blue sugar within an hour of the start, this is too exaggerated..."
The man in the hat had rubbed the blue sugar with his hands before, so he knew the difficulty involved.
The hand-rubbing process was already quite cumbersome, and it took him half an hour to figure it out.
If you want to mass-produce, you need to rationally plan the sequencing of nearly ten production lines.
It's easy to say.
But he just saw with his own eyes that Brother Ji was about to burn out the CPU just by running one production line.
Pull ten production lines...
"Forget it. There's no need to figure out the gods' affairs so clearly. They can start the pre-quests for the long steps to godhood, which means their understanding of dungeons is much higher than ours." Brother Ji shook his head helplessly and patted the man in the cap on the shoulder: "Let's go, go offline and find a bar, and watch their dungeon live while drinking."
"OK."
…
Xu Mu glanced across the battlefield, which was a mess.
A small civilization that had just developed was destroyed by him in an instant.
Of course, there's nothing much to say.
In this battle for resources where the law of the jungle is the only way out, let alone a small civilization.
Even if a large civilization was right in front of Xu Mu.
He will also do it without hesitation and without mercy
Preserve this civilization and use it for your own benefit.
There is no way. The total amount of resources on the mother planet is not like the license plate resources, which are updated every year and the Bodhisattvas generously donate every year.
The resources of the mother planet are fixed, and the more you use them, the less they become.
Small civilizations were destroyed to cut off their escape route.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, large civilizations should try to kill only players and retain their industrial lines.
He controlled Ikaros to move forward and explore the nearby mineral veins.
[Iron ore reserves: 310,781]
[Stone Mine Reserves: 147,879]
[Coal reserves: 275,866]
Compared to the total amount of minerals at his birthplace, which was less than six figures, this mining area was indeed quite rich, enough to splurge for a while.
Not only is there the stone mine that Xu Mu needs, but also the lifeblood of industrial civilization - the coal mine.
Both of these are of paramount importance to the development of Xu Mu's civilization.
"Let's increase the output of blue sugar first." Xu Mu thought to himself.
He just saw in the announcement on the built-in channel that a player in the eighth spiral arm had already taken a step ahead of him and started exploring the second technology of industrial civilization, [semiconductor materials].
But it's not a big problem.
The early infrastructure construction is like the foundation when building a house.
Of course, an unstable foundation does not prevent building a building, but something will eventually go wrong.
Just go at your own pace.
First, a batch of mining machines were manufactured using local materials, and then the blueprint of the level 1 production line was copied to pull out the production line of the stone mine.
It is refined into glass through a furnace.
Build a separate glass manufacturing line and start mass production [Matrix Research Station]
This thing may not be very useful in the early stages, but it is enough for many players.
But Xu Mu knew very well that when civilization reached its middle stage of development, it needed a large amount of blue sugar and brown sugar.
How scarce is the Matrix Research Station, a scientific research equipment that can only mass-produce 20 energy crystals per minute?
If we wait until then to start production line production, not only will the progress be slow, it will also easily lead to resource occupation and cause other production lines to stop working.
After a lot of hard work, the mass production speed of the Matrix Research Station reached 10 units per minute.
Only take 9 of them and store the rest in storage boxes.
Immediately, Xu Mu placed them all 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 for the current stage." Xu Mu thought to himself and looked at the technology tree.
【Technology·Semiconductor Materials】
[Function: Unlock microcrystalline components (Level III). Microcrystalline components are the basic technology that enables processors to achieve high-speed computing functions. To make them, it is necessary to carve 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 electric motor (Level III). As a basic power system component, the electric motor can speed up the operation of the machine.]
[Unlock required: Blue Matrix*100]
…
The role of increasing blue sugar production first becomes apparent at this moment.
These two techniques alone require 300 pieces of blue sugar.
Even if other top players have already unlocked the blue sugar production, they will still be in a hurry to climb to the next level of civilization.
So, if they want to unlock these technologies, they need to wait for 15 minutes to collect all the blue sugar.
What's more, the demand for blue sugar will only increase in the future.
And Xu Mu only needs to wait for one and a half minutes.
During this one and a half minutes, Xu Mu was not idle either.
Instead, a plan for a Level 2 production line was made and framed using the [Blueprint] function.
In a moment, you can easily and simply carry out mass replication of the Level 2 production line.
Soon, two prompt sounds popped up in succession.
The microcrystalline element and the electric motor are unlocked one after another.
Xu Mu started working non-stop on the production line.
As a tertiary material, microcrystalline components require copper plates, magnetic coils and chips, which are 2nd-level materials, for synthesis.
Select the blueprint function to pull up the Level 2 production line that has been prepared.
One is for making chips, one is for making magnetic coils, and one is for making copper plates.
Then the three lines are unified and continuously transported to the production table for making microcrystalline components.
Soon, a production line of microcrystalline components was completed.
【Microcrystalline components (level III): 30/min】
Follow the same method and build another electric motor production line.
After a lot of hard work, we also achieved an output of 30/min for the [electric motor].
After these two can be mass-produced.
Xu Mu is about to start doing something big!
Open the production panel and find the [Production Table] column.
Click on the details panel of [Industrial Manufacturing Station].
Soon, a row of manufacturing tables of different models appeared before our eyes.
The manufacturing table is an important part of industrial development. Without it, materials cannot be processed and synthesized, and civilization will stagnate.
The primary model manufacturing table can only process secondary materials.
That is, several level 1 materials are processed into level 2.
Or several level 2 materials can be processed into level 3.
And so on.
But when it comes to the manufacturing station of the intermediate model.
Ability to process raw materials directly into tertiary!
In other words, the original intention was to make a microcrystalline component.
First you need chips, magnetic coils, copper plates and other things.
Chips, as secondary materials, require primary materials such as iron blocks and copper blocks.
Iron blocks also need to be mined from raw iron ore.
It can be said that it is interconnected and extremely complicated.
Countless production lines are needed to achieve the ultimate goal of producing microcrystalline components.
But there is an intermediate model crafting table.
Just throw in a series of raw materials such as iron, copper, and stone.
Select [Microcrystalline Components]
The intermediate crafting table can automatically start processing! Directly skip the intermediate level 1 and level 2 material production lines and directly synthesize level 3 materials!
It is somewhat similar to the "preset" function of modern civilization.
It can be seen from this that once industrial civilization begins to move towards intelligence, the changes it brings are earth-shaking!
Do what you say.
Set up two production lines to start mass production of [Intermediate Production Table].
In addition to miscellaneous materials, the two core materials required for an intermediate crafting table are microcrystalline components and electric motors.
After tinkering for a while, one intermediate production table after another was continuously sent from the conveyor belt to the storage warehouse.
Xu Mu took it out directly and placed it behind an open space.
1000 Copper Blocks, 1000 Iron Blocks, and 1000 Stone Blocks were invested.
Then open the operation interface of the intermediate crafting table.
Among hundreds of processing materials, we chose [microcrystalline components]
Got the hint quickly.
[The intermediate production table is making microcrystalline components]
【Output: 30/min】
[The intermediate crafting table is making an electric motor]
【Output: 30/min】
…
"With the intermediate manufacturing platform, the efficiency is indeed different, and it saves a lot of production lines." Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
His eyes swept across the civilization index ranking.
[1. A (Ready Player One): 0.27, the second half of industrial civilization]
[2. Shuraji (Doomsday Train): 0.13, the beginning of industrial civilization]
[3. Seeking the Way (Death Tombstone): 0.13, the beginning of industrial civilization]
[4. Ask the Moon (Shadow): 0.128, the beginning of industrial civilization]
【5. ……】
At this point, the attitude of the built-in channels has changed.
"What happened? I was working hard at mining, and when I looked up, I saw that the civilization index of A-God was 0.27."
"What the hell is this? How the hell did they make this? I just figured out the production lines of the chips and electromagnetic coils, and the total civilization index is only 0.08..."
"This gap makes people despair..."
"Come! Where are those barking people from the Northern Territory just now! Come out and talk!"
"I have to say, the three giant guilds in the Northern Territory are really good. They are only twice as good as our A-God/dog head/dog head"
"Don't be too happy, you guys. When the members of the three major guilds in the Northern Territory gather together, your damn A God will be crying!"
"Dian, the players in the Northern Territory are as stubborn as ever. Is it so difficult to admit that we in the Southern Territory have stood up this year? /Middle finger/Middle finger"
"I know you in the South Territory are anxious to prove yourselves, but wait, this is just the beginning, the better days are still to come/grin/grin"
…
After scanning the channel, Xu Mu withdrew his gaze.
Although the players on both sides are still engaged in verbal battles.
But the player from the Northern Territory was right about one thing, and this was the point that Xu Mu should pay the most attention to.
At this stage, players are still hiding on their respective home planets and developing themselves.
By the middle stage of civilization, everyone will be able to fly away from their home planet and go to other planets to mine resources.
This is the real battle moment!
Especially large guilds, when hundreds or thousands of members gather together.
The speed of resource mass production will grow explosively! The civilization development index will undergo a qualitative change!
Judging from the civilization index rankings just now.
The top players at this stage have already unlocked blue sugar at the beginning of industrial civilization.
The mainstream large-scale players have also gradually figured out the layout of the production lines and are rushing to build level 2 production lines.
I want to have decent combat effectiveness in the Star Wars.
Then you need to beat time!
Be the first to develop the level of civilization to a crushing degree, which is commonly known as dimensionality reduction attack!
Destroy the threatening player civilization before it can be consolidated!
And want to do these.
In addition to the large amount of resource output, there is another important indicator.
Power generation!
Although, there are many forms of energy.
Wind energy, thermal energy, water energy (gravitational potential energy), solar energy, nuclear energy and so on.
But the most stable of them can be controlled by humans.
Still only electricity.
Therefore, whether it is wind energy, water energy, thermal energy, solar energy and so on.
Eventually it will be converted into electrical energy for use by humans.
Haven’t you seen that after humans mastered the technology of nuclear fission?
Why is it that the place used for energy supply is not called a nuclear fission wind station or a nuclear fission heating station?
But it is called a nuclear fission power station, or simply a nuclear power station?
Including wind power stations, which also convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.
In the early years of civilization development, there were pure windmills, or water windmills.
They do not convert into electrical energy, but use only wind energy or water to make the machinery do work.
But with the advancement of technology, it has long been eliminated by the times.
That’s because electricity is the energy with the least loss in energy conversion!
Even if it is 0.01 kWh of electricity, as long as it is supplied, it can enable the machine to do the work it should do at 0.01 kWh.
As for wind energy, humans can control the size of some wind flows.
However, if the wind is too weak, it may even directly offset the force of the fan blades.
How can you do any work if you can't even blow the fan blades?
If the wind is too strong, it may even destroy the machine directly.
And it cannot be absorbed 100%.
A gust of wind blows towards you. Can you say that all the wind is used to do work?
Obviously not, a considerable portion of the wind energy will be wasted on the spot.
It's been blown, it's been blown. You can't blame me if you can't get it out.
Not only wind energy, but other energy sources also have defects of one kind or another.
Only electricity, which can be stopped at any time and anywhere and can be enlarged or reduced at will, has become a safe and efficient energy source.
Therefore, until new energy sources that are safer, more efficient and have lower losses than electricity are developed, the ultimate destination of all energy is to be converted into electricity.
Xu Mu opened his current civilization panel.
Nearly two hours of hard work .
There are now nearly a thousand machines in operation in the two mining areas!
The electricity consumed by these thousands of machines is as high as 800kw+
He set up as many as 100 wind power stations just to stabilize the operation of the machines.
But wind power stations also occupy a lot of land.
At the beginning, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and except for the mining area, it was almost empty land.
Wind farms are not enough to attract attention.
But now, with 100 wind power stations being built, it is necessary to ensure that all machines in all locations have electricity supply, and the wind power stations have stretched for nearly several kilometers!
Going forward, the unlocking machines and devices will become larger and larger, and the power consumption will also become higher and higher.
By then, even if we monopolize the entire mother planet, there will probably be an embarrassing situation where half of the area is the production line and the other half is the power station.
It’s still the same space principle. A room can only accommodate 5 workers, so the maximum efficiency of the production line is only 5 workers.
In order to make mid-term development smoother.
Xu Mu needs to make some improvements now.
Open the technology tree and use 200 blue sugars to unlock [Technology·Thermal Power Station]
Soon, the details of the thermal power station appeared before him.
【Thermal power station】
【Type: Class II power generation equipment】
[Power generation: 1.0MW/h]
[Consumption: Use all combustible materials to generate electricity]
[Required for manufacturing: microcrystalline element*5, motor*5, gear*20, iron plate*50]
…
One megawatt of power generation!
One unit is equivalent to 100 10kw wind power stations!
And the floor space is saved a hundred times!
These are the benefits.
The downside is that its main fuel is coal, and a new coal production line needs to be built.
Not to mention that many players now have no coal mines at their birthplaces.
Even if there is a coal mine, building 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, can be deployed at any time, and do not require coal mines.
If you tinker with other electrical energy, aren't you dispersing the energy?
If there is not enough electricity, we can just put up a few more wind turbines and save all the time for the development of civilization!
Of course, Xu Mu thought the same in his previous life.
Later he paid the price for his stupid idea by having to reopen the game several times.
With his experience, Xu Mu knows the importance of thermal power stations.
He planned to take some time to build a batch of thermal power stations first.
With the intermediate production table, Xu Mu saved a lot of time in pulling secondary production lines.
In just a few minutes, the first brand new thermal power station was completed.
Place it on the ground the first time.
A clear prompt sound rang out.
[Congratulations to 'A' for becoming the first player in the 8th spiral arm of the northern Weiyang system to enter the 'modern civilization era'! Get extra rewards: blue electromagnetic matrix*1000, red energy matrix*100, unlock planetary exploration ability! ]
After the prompt sound sounds.
The built-in channel exploded!
"What the hell? This is modern civilization? "
"Hi! I just unlocked blue sugar... God A even has brown sugar?"
"The primitive man trembled and dared not speak..."
"Wow, Master A, please guide me. I have been your fan for ten years! I really don't understand how to play this dungeon!"
"God A, I want your production blueprint. Do you need some exciting voice? I'm a loli, and I sound very nice when I hum, 嘤嘤嘤~"
Xu Mu glanced at the channel messages.
Deadpan close.
Young sisters nowadays, really are like that.
Loli Yin just wants the blueprint?
Reject childish aesthetics, starting with you and him!
…
After unlocking modern civilization, an additional 3% bonus to the efficiency of the entire production line is obtained.
However, Xu Mu was not in a hurry to start developing modern civilization.
First, the wind power stations that had just been arranged were removed one by one, and a large area of ​​​​open space was also saved.
At the same time, the parent star slowly orbited the back of the gas planet.
The huge shadow of the celestial body completely blocks the light of distant stars.
The mother planet entered a brief eternal night.
Thousands of machines that are powered on will each emit some light to remind players that they are in operation.
But as Xu Mu continued to unplug the power station equipment, the machines instantly shut down, one after another.
In just a few minutes, the wind farm was completely removed.
Xu Mu’s industrial chain spanning two mining areas has completely stopped work and production.
It was as if there was a dead silence and darkness all around.
And in the next moment.
As the first group of coal slowly flowed along the conveyor belt into the thermal power station.
Buzz!!!
A raging fire broke out in the furnace!
Invisible electric current began to supply rapidly like a snake, quickly charging the wires of each machine!
Almost in an instant.
The power indicator lights of thousands of machines began to flash at the same time! Just like the stars in the deep night sky.
The extremely abundant electric energy makes the machines emit dazzling luster in various colors!
Not only does it light up the ground.
In the polar night environment, scattered rays of light each form columns and reflect towards the shallow sky, refracting into colorful threads in the atmosphere, as gorgeous as the aurora.
A quick glance at the data panel.
[Overview of important resource production capacity]
【Iron ore (level I): 2687/min】
【Copper ore (level I): 2561/min】
[Stone mine (level Ⅰ): 1263/min]
【Coal mine (level Ⅰ): 784/min】
【Chip (Level II): 974/min】
【Magnetic coil (level II): 913/min】
【Blue matrix (level III): 200/min】
【Microcrystalline components (Level III): 60/min】
【Electric motor (level III): 60/min】
【Total number of working machines: 1078】
【Power consumption: 1.02MW】
【Power generation: 10.00MW】
"Well, 10 thermal generators are enough to meet the current needs. The next step is to mass-produce brown sugar, and then start the customized ball-killing plan." For Xu Mu, the resources of the two mining areas in front of him have reached the production capacity limit.
In order to seek faster development.
It's time to start wiping out all players on the entire mother planet!
