Due to the limitation of oil mine output rate, 180/min of crude oil is refined and purified.
For every two parts of crude oil, you can get 1 part of hydrogen and 2 parts of refined oil (petroleum).
This means that the current mass production of hydrogen is only 90/min.
One portion of brown sugar requires 2 portions of hydrogen + 2 portions of high-energy graphite to process.
That is to say.
"The output of high-energy graphite does not need to be too much. We can just build an extra production line of 90/min." Xu Mu planned in his mind.
Spending too much time in the fighting dungeons will cause many players to be confused about the situation when entering the survival dungeon.
Still blindly believe that the more of anything the better.
As for survival, how can you survive without enough resources?
Build! You can build anything!
But in fact, if one end of a production line is restricted, the other end cannot be used even if it produces infinitely much.
For example, only 90 portions of hydrogen can be produced per minute. Even if Xu Mu increases the production line of high-energy graphite to 90,000 portions per minute, only 90 portions of graphite can be actually used per minute.
Then, the extra time is wasted in building the graphite production line.
This amount of time will accumulate over time and the progress will be slowed down infinitely.
Of course, Xu Mu would not talk much about this kind of experience with other players.
Finding an open space around the coal mine, Xu Mu slowly placed nine intermediate manufacturing platforms on the ground.
It is preset to produce [High Energy Graphite]
The intermediate manufacturing table is already starting to have difficulty producing level 4 materials.
The manufacturing efficiency of each machine is only 10/min
If it is used to make level 5 materials, I am afraid the output will be further reduced.
Because there are more processes involved, the parts that the intermediate manufacturing station is responsible for solving problems are still just simple microcrystalline components + circuit boards.
Of course, once we enter the information civilization era and unlock processor technology, this phenomenon will be greatly alleviated.
For now I can only endure it.
As soon as the nine intermediate production tables were put down, they began to operate with a humming sound.
Groups of matte black cylindrical materials are packaged and sent onto the conveyor belt.
The oil mine is about a 10-minute walk from Xu Mu’s base.
This means pulling a fairly long conveyor belt to combine the graphite with the produced hydrogen.
Otherwise, you can only rely on carrying it by hand by stuffing it into a backpack.
In comparison, the conveyor belt that frees your hands is more convenient.
The integration of the two production lines of graphite and hydrogen, plus the layout of the matrix research station, kept Xu Mu busy for a full 15 minutes.
"Once the planet's logistics system is unlocked, things will be much more comfortable." Xu Mu thought to himself.
Once the base station of the planetary logistics system is established, the conveyor belt will be in a semi-retired state.
More intelligent small logistics transport aircraft will replace conveyor belts.
They will fly out from the logistics base station, fly to a fixed location, pick up materials, and then pull them back to the logistics base station.
All interactions will be done in the air.
There is no need for a maze-like conveyor belt system on the ground.
Of course, this step is still some distance away for Xu Mu at present, as it is the technology of information civilization.
After setting up a storage box and installing the conveyor belt and sorter.
The entire brown sugar production line is now complete!
Hydrogen and high-energy graphite are sent to the Matrix Research Station for high-energy reactions and rearrangement.
Finally, square blocks emitting pink fluorescence were continuously transported into the storage box.
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, mass production of brown sugar has been achieved!
Although the current output is not high.
But it's enough.
[Congratulations on setting up a production line for the 'Red Energy Matrix'! The Level II capability of the Ikaros interface is now unlocked for you! More technology panels are also open to you! ]
Accompanied by the echoing of the prompt sound in my mind.
Xu Mu opened the technology tree panel again.
Next to the five important technologies of modern civilization, several small branches have gradually emerged, like branches spreading out.
【Titanium ore smelting】
【Crystal smelting】
【Liquid hydrogen combustion rod】
【Mountain moving and sea filling technology】
A series of branch technology operations were born.
These branch technologies will not have much impact if they are not unlocked, but will be more convenient if unlocked.
For example, the [Liquid Hydrogen Combustion Rod] is Ikaros' energy supply.
After all, once interstellar travel is unlocked, Ikaros can no longer be charged like on the mother planet, where he can just find a power station and stand next to it to quickly replenish energy.
In order to continue traveling in space, Ikaros must carry combustible materials, like engine oil for a car.
Normally, bringing a few more sets of coal or high-energy graphite would also allow Ikaros to travel short distances.
The energy supply of liquid hydrogen combustion rods is much more sufficient. One combustion rod is enough to match ten pieces of graphite or a hundred pieces of coal.
But a burning rod is not a must, graphite and coal can be used.
Therefore, for many players who are still short of blue sugar, these branch technologies that cost hundreds of red sugar to unlock are something that everyone only dares to take a first look at.
But for Xu Mu, he wants them all.
Regardless of whether these technologies are useful or not, unlocking them all will definitely increase the dungeon rating.
Once the copy evaluation overflows, there will be hope for the Holy Torch.
"However, branch technologies can be left for later. The most urgent task now is to unify resources." Xu Mu thought to himself.
The so-called resource unification is simply this.
Carry out more standardized and centralized management of global resources, use physics to reduce unnecessary resource expenditures, and build together... and build alone a beautiful future civilization.
He skillfully summoned the Ikaros control panel.
Many secondary and new abilities have been unlocked.
[Drive Engine (Level I) New! ]
[Type: Mecha Operation System]
[Function: Unlock the mecha's low-altitude flight ability! ]
[Consumption: In low-altitude flight mode, the mecha will increase its movement speed by 1000% and consume a large amount of energy, 0.5MJ/s]

…
【Mecha Core (Level II)】
[Type: Mecha Operation]

[Unlock: Blue Electromagnetic Matrix*500, Red Energy Matrix*100]
…
【Energy Bullet (Level II)】
[Type: Mecha Battle]
[Effect: Ikaros' arms reorganize and transform, converting energy to emit powerful laser firepower suppression! Can be switched to level I combat form. ]
【Consumption: 1MJ/s】
[Unlock: Blue Electromagnetic Matrix*1000, Red Energy Matrix*200]
…
[Air-to-Ground V-12 Howitzer (Level I) New! ]
[Type: Mecha Battle]
[Effect: Ikaros' chest reorganizes and transforms, loading four howitzers to cover a large area of ​​the ground! (Note: The V-12 howitzer will cause indiscriminate attacks, please use with caution!)]
[Consumption: Each howitzer will consume 50MJ]
[Unlock: Blue Electromagnetic Matrix*1500, Red Energy Matrix*300]
…
These four abilities are what Xu Mu values ​​the most. In addition, there are other scattered abilities, but they need to be unlocked after there is more brown sugar reserve.
"Currently, to unlock all four capabilities, 700 brown sugars are needed. Based on the mass production rate of 45/min, it will take about 15 minutes of waiting time." After doing a quick calculation in his mind.
Xu Mu didn't plan to sit idle either.
Despite his current civilizational advantages, it would not be a big deal even if he lay on Ikaros' shoulder, crossed his legs and took a nap.
But he still chose to be a hardworking guy!
It turns out that when a person keeps rolling hard even when he has a chance to win, he is almost invincible!
Although the technology of solar energy has not yet been unlocked, the solar panel device will be of great use in the future!
You can stock up on some materials for making solar panels first, and once this technology is unlocked, you can start mass production right away!
Although the solar panels seen on the technology panel, the material composition is: ???
However, Xu Mu had made this thing many times in his previous life, and often mass-produced it in the thousands.
Memorize the synthesis formula.
Solar panel = copper plate * 10 + high purity silicon plate * 10 + circuit board * 5
The production lines for copper plates and circuit boards have been set up long ago, and we now have several large boxes in stock, totaling several thousand pieces, so there is no shortage for the time being.
But high-purity silicon plates belong to Grade IV materials.
Moreover, the raw silicon ore needed to make silicon panels is not available at all on the home planet where all players initially land.
It is necessary to unlock information civilization and be able to fly to other planets before it can be obtained from some neutral planets .
Of course, in addition to directly collecting raw silicon ore.
There is another way to obtain silicon ore.
That is, to refine stone ore in large quantities!
The stone is rich in trace elements.
There are also silicon and titanium elements that are necessary for the development of civilization but are not found on the mother planet.
As long as you collect enough stones, you can accumulate them into a lot.
According to the synthesis formula.
Through the arc furnace, one part of silicon ore can be purified for every 10 parts of stone ore.
It takes two portions of silicon ore to produce one portion of high-purity silicon plate.
10 high-purity silicon panels = one of the materials required for a solar panel
Just a simple conversion.
200 parts of stone ore = 20 parts of silicon ore = 10 parts of high-purity silicon panels = 1 part of solar panel
This is a huge project and there is a long way to go.
Do what you say.
Xu Mu turned on the planet exploration light screen and found a stone mining area nearby with a mineral reserve of about 100,000 pieces.
A circle of mining machines are placed around the stone mine, and the conveyor belts are skillfully arranged.
After some trouble.
The 300/min stone mining production line was born!
Immediately put in 50 arc furnaces, preset [Silicon Mine]
Soon, each furnace began to slowly produce silicon ore at a rate of 6/min.
50 units can just meet the silicon ore production of 300/min.
Place 30 more intermediate crafting tables (when the intermediate crafting table is making materials above level 4, the maximum production speed is capped at 10/min)
After finishing, I glanced at the output.
【High purity silicon plate (Grade IV): 300/min】
"In this way, we can produce 30 solar panels per minute." Xu Mu nodded with satisfaction: "That's enough."
Save the fourth-level production line you just made to the blueprint.
When you need to make other level 4 material production lines, you can just paste it and change the preset. It can save a lot of time.
By the time this production line was completed, 15 minutes had passed.
Xu Mu took out more than 700 portions of brown sugar, put them in his pocket, and also put five or six thousand portions of blue sugar.
Although the backpack expansion capacity has been temporarily increased to 50 slots + 150 cap per group.
But it still couldn't withstand the huge amount of material.
Without hesitation, unlock all four new abilities in one go!
Ikaros immediately made a 'grunting' sound as he modified himself.
Not long after, the two control levers in the control room in front of Xu Mu also looked brand new.
The most intuitive improvement is in the panel data. The energy, which was originally only 50MJ, has now skyrocketed to 300MJ!
If we only count the most original construction form, Ikaros, which originally could only last for 1 hour before running out of oil, now has a battery life of up to 30 hours!
Xu Mu tried other newly unlocked functions.
Hold the right joystick and push it hard to shift the gear to the top!
Two balls of blazing flames spurted out from the wings on Ikaros' back, and he slowly rose into the air.
The mother star, which is not very large in size, has its horizon gradually becoming curved, and a semicircular sphere slowly emerges before our eyes.
Under the shaking operation of Xu Mu's left hand joystick.
Buzz!!
The flying speed of 30 meters per second creates a strong wind in the air!
The scene on the ground was rapidly receding!
The journey that originally took 10 minutes now only took one minute!
Xu Mu tried the level 2 energy bullet again.
This time, Ikaros' left arm no longer fired Gatling-like bullets with a "da da da da" sound.
Instead, it was changed into an electromagnetically charged laser.
The moment the laser touched the ground, it caused a small explosion! The surrounding grass, trees, and rocks were instantly shattered! A small hole also appeared.
Moreover, Xu Mu discovered that as long as he held down the shooting button, the laser would continue to form a straight red line!
At this time, the power of the explosion will be weakened, but the burning effect will be multiplied!
Even something as hard as the ground will melt instantly under the continuous high temperature of the laser, and some sticky liquid will flow out from the grooves.
If Xu Mu wanted, he could even draw the word "正" on the ground with a laser.
"Um?"
Just when Xu Mu was adapting to the flying speed of the mecha.
A moving figure on the ground caught Xu Mu's attention.
It looks like another player.
Not far away is his civilization base, which is relatively underdeveloped and has just built a first-level production line at this stage.
The mecha on the ground also noticed something strange when Xu Mu passed by.
"What the hell flew past so quickly?" The player scratched his head, then activated the mecha's camera function to take a look.
Suddenly, his face was filled with shock!
"Oh my god... I just launched a first-level production line, how come someone can already fly..."
"Is the gap really that big..."
"Luckily that bastard didn't notice me..."
"Speaking of which, if I follow his flight path back, can I steal his hometown? I shouldn't be discovered if I steal some of his advanced equipment, right?"
When the player was muttering in his heart.
There was an urgent stop sound from not far away!
Even if you brake in mid-air, the high-speed kinetic energy will produce violent friction with the air when you stop suddenly, causing a sharp vibration sound.
The next moment!
The player slowly raised his head.
He only saw the mecha that had originally run away, now quietly hovering in the air above his head.
Like a majestic god, he looked down at the pagans with ulterior motives.
"Wait..." The player hasn't spoken yet.
The pupils contract violently.
The only response he got was a beam of high-energy laser!
A few seconds later.
"boom!!!"
Xu Mu drove the mecha away, and a huge explosion suddenly sounded behind him!
There was also a hint of awe in Xu Mu's eyes.
"Kill the ball, start!"
…
“How arrogant!”
In the northern hemisphere, Ning Yang, the president of the Perpetual Motion Train Guild, looked gloomy after receiving the "last words" from his men.
That was what made him angry the most.
Even after Huang Shulang revealed his identity and told that guy that his perpetual motion train belonged to the Doomsday Train sub-guild.
That guy was so bold! He dared to kill his right-hand man on the spot!
I see you don’t take Doomsday Train seriously at all!
"That's good. There's no need for Doomsday Train to take action at all. Our Perpetual Motion Train Guild can control you!" Ning Yang snorted angrily.
I have just completed the mass production line of Blue Sugar, and I have now upgraded Ikaros's first-level combat capability!
As for its power, Ning Yang had just tested it.
The Gatling gun's firepower covers a large area! It only takes a dozen seconds to destroy a mecha!
Ning Yang clicked on Ikaros's operation panel.
During this period of time, he has been accumulating blue sugar in order to unlock the reconnaissance capability of the sparrow-type drone.
Although he was filled with anger, Ning Yang was not a reckless person.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle.
Judging from his subordinates' last words, it seems that the other party was an oil man.
A rich oil mine was found.
The description is a bit tricky.
Of course, Ning Yang was not worried at all.
That guy is definitely no match for me.
It took the efforts of more than ten people to build this blue sugar production line.
That guy is just a lone wolf, even if he has unlocked blue sugar.
You can beat a mecha, but can you beat ten of our Gatling guns emitting blue flames?
Thinking of this, Ning Yang unlocked the bird-shaped drone.
Then called out.
According to the instructions described by the men.
That guy is active near the Southern Hemisphere.
After entering the preset path for the southern hemisphere, Ning Yang released the drone.
Staring intently at the images transmitted back by the drone.
"I want to see why you are so arrogant!"
"If you dare to kill me, I will make you know what regret is!"
The subordinates around him also echoed.
"That's right! Let him have a taste of pain!"
"Won't this help Brother Huang get revenge?"
"But then again, they should have unlocked the drone communications, right?"
"Isn't that better? If he saw the blue sugar production line at our base, I wonder how surprised he would be, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A group of people were still laughing.
At this time, the drone had already sent back a video message.
The next moment Ning Yang clicked to accept the video message.
Anger was fixed on his face.
The subordinates who were originally shouting suddenly stopped their mocking voices.
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened and they stared at the screen that sent back the video message.
In the video.
The neatly and orderly production lines are densely packed and interlaced, presenting a perfectly planned geometric beauty!
Thousands of machines are working synchronously! The neat and pleasant roars burst out at the same time!
The blazing thermal power station is always supplying abundant electricity!
And more importantly...
That small cube of energy emitting a faint red light.
"Oh shit!! That's... brown sugar??!" a player exclaimed.
"Hiss..." A player gasped.
"He has started mass production of brown sugar??? How is this possible?" Some players couldn't believe it!
Ning Yang's lips were trembling wildly! Cold sweat was already oozing out of his forehead!
Just now, more than ten people, under his leadership, with clear division of labor, worked overtime and finally built more than ten production lines with great difficulty and mass-produced blue sugar with great effort.
But in the blink of an eye, how come you started mass-producing brown sugar?
Moreover, there were no players to be seen on the production lines that covered several mining areas.
This shows that this guy is indeed a lone wolf.
The evidence of this made all the players, including Ning Yang, feel a deep of powerlessness.
The mass production of brown sugar is several times more complicated than that of blue sugar, both in terms of technical difficulty and the complexity of setting up the production line!
Not only did he alone accomplish the work of far more than a dozen people, but he also managed to make the base so neat and clean!
One more look at it and you can't help but want to shout from the bottom of your heart.
I want to join the Communist Party!
And at this moment.
Before Ning Yang and the others could recover from the shock.
A sound of breaking air came from far away.
All the players on the ground looked up into the sky.
I only saw a mecha flying through the air and approaching quickly! The white figure sitting in the cabin was also getting closer and closer!
"President... this guy seems to be coming straight towards us... what should we do..." Suddenly, Ning Yang's men were in chaos.
"How did he know we were here..."
"Boss Hongtang Technology, how the hell are we going to fight this... It's all over, it's all over..."
"Stop arguing!" Ning Yang shouted angrily. After a few seconds of silence, he shouted, "All of you follow me!"
Ning Yang's voice brought some sanity back to the panicked players.
The president's mentality has not collapsed yet!
This means there is still a fight to be had!
So everyone calmed down and responded, "Okay!"
soon.
Ning Yang controlled Ikaros and slowly raised his arms.
Then he suddenly threw it into the air!
Several other players followed suit.
But halfway through the operation, they all reacted...
Raise your hands above your head... this action...
Vote, voted???
No, we are ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?
If Ning Yang knew what the players were thinking, he would definitely sneer.
A bunch of idiots!
Don't you see what the situation is now...
After their brown sugar was put into mass production, technological civilization almost crushed it!
Whether it's airborne or combat power, it's impossible to win!
Only Benny is still confused.
Smart people would have already given the French salute and cursed in their hearts.
"Huang Shulang, you BYD! You are the one who led the boss to me?? Don't let me catch you offline!! I will kill you a thousand times!! It's not enough!!!"
