Interstellar Farmer

The Engineer Earth Dragon can also be directly called the Miner Beast. It has many classifications in terms of types. After all, different types of work, different minerals mined, and different mining areas will naturally lead to more subtle classifications. All considered. Down the road, the current Jinglong miners will be divided into no less than a hundred types, and this number will continue to increase depending on the depth of the mining and changes in the mining environment.

As it goes deeper and deeper into the ground, the environment in the cutting-edge mining areas is also very harsh. Although it has not directly entered the magma layer, it still has a high temperature of several thousand degrees. Fortunately, the miners here have great With the characteristics of resistance to pressure and high temperature, they do not need the oxygen required by conventional animals, etc., so that they can show their talents here - I saw the giant bloated miner beast with a head several times larger than the dragon, raising its head The huge horn with a tip like a drill rotated rapidly after aligning its position. Like a drill, it dug out a shallow pit of about a hundred meters in a very short time. There are no less than 10,000 of these giant mining beasts in the entire mining area, and the scene of them drilling and digging at the same time is quite spectacular.

The reason why the giant miner beast looks bloated is because it not only has sharp horns that can rotate quickly, but also has its own spaces on its back and abdomen, etc., which add up to no less than 500; There are also snake-like tentacles with suckers in these spaces, but these are not the organs of the giant sharp-horned beasts. They are another type of miner beasts that can use extremely keen ore-seeking instincts. , in the shallow pit of more than 100 meters dug, he shuttled back and forth everywhere, carefully checking every place he passed, and directly absorbed the high-content raw ore and retracted it into the space;... After the sucker miner beast finished its work, another miner beast, which was much smaller than the sharp-horned miner beast but very fast, came to the side of the sharp-horned miner beast and took the dumping action to transfer all the raw ore in the space. Arriving in their open space - these guys look very similar to the villa Crystal Earth Dragon that Han Zhen and others took in their own space. After loading the raw ore, these transport miners transported it to a specially opened place not far away. There are also the largest and most extensive super crystal dragon mining beasts in the mining area. They are specially responsible for refining the raw ore. After arriving, all the raw ore is transferred to their thousands of large mouths; refining is considered a technical job in mining minerals. After refining the miner beasts with the raw materials, the next step is to transport the giant along the feed port. The tube slowly extends towards the center. As long as it goes through this process, a series of processes in refining can be completed.

When they arrived at the outlet in the center, there was another type of transport beast that had been sorted and arranged, waiting to receive the refined minerals. After all, the refining miner beast could not complete all the refining work at once. What it did was just The first process is equivalent to rough refining in a human mining factory. After that, it must go through the second and third processes. Some minerals may even go through no less than twenty processes before they can barely get the desired finished product. However, these are not It will be done in the mining area, and there will be transport beasts to transport them to other spaces, and specialized miner beasts will be in charge. Every time the refining miner beast is finished refining, there will be a process of excretion - this word seems disgusting, but the transport beasts responsible for these excrements are not only much more numerous than those at the outlet, but will also These waste materials are either directly discarded into abandoned mines, or selectively transported to another space for reuse.

One or two refining miner beasts, hundreds of sharp-horned miner beasts, thirty thousand transport miner beasts, three hundred thousand ore-seeking miner beasts,... The value of these crystal dragons, whose total number does not exceed one million, is equivalent to the most advanced large-scale deep mining factory in mankind with tens of millions of workers. Just what Han Zhen saw now In terms of huge space, the value they create is definitely much greater than a billion humans with the most high-end instruments and equipment!

How could Han Zhen not make good use of such a good thing, so it was well-founded to say that Xiaobai and Heibai had blinded the Dragon Clan's ability to mine.

In order not to worry Sun Jing and Han Yu, Han Zhen did not go out, but used the video camera in the villa to watch the entire process as the Crystal Earth Dragon moved and worked.

Isn't it disgusting?! Han Zhen saw that Sun Jing's face was not very good, and joked: I told you a long time ago that I asked you not to come over and look at it, but you still didn't listen. Now it's better! Oh, it doesn't stop As the old man said, you will suffer the consequences right in front of you!

Well, I thought they wouldn't look too good, but I didn't expect them to be so different! Brother Zhen, can't you change them to make them more pleasing to the eye? This, this, Han Zhen replied without saying anything. Okay, Sun Jing could still endure it, but as soon as she heard it, she couldn't stand it anymore and turned off the video camera directly.

You think I don't want to change, but I still need to have a suitable reference. On this point, you have to talk about Xiaohei. It just doesn't do its job well in the galaxy, and all it gets are these unappetizing things. . Han Zhen said with a smile. All the improvements and optimizations of the Crystal Dragon lineage are based on the genes brought back by Xiao Hei from the ferocious beast galaxy. Even if Han Zhen wants to optimize, he must have the corresponding genes. From this point of view, Han Zhen's shirk of responsibility does have some basis.

I'm wronged. I also want to get good stuff, but all I can get are low-end ones. Everyone knows the high-end ones are good, but I can't get them... Xiao Hei, who took the blame, was not happy. .

You must be careless, Shitou! Han Yu interrupted, directly forcing Xiao Hei to interrupt his complaint, Isn't that right, Xiao Bai Bai? With a twist, the topic was brought to Xiao Bai's head.

Around this issue of observation, several people and beasts started to talk nonsense. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, whether it's disgusting or not. As long as it's efficient and easy to manage, you won't have to consider these issues. Besides, this is the beast's own business, and maybe it's quite comfortable for them to watch!

After Sun Jing turned off the imaging device, Han Zhen had already sent out his spiritual consciousness to tell the Villa Crystal Earth Dragon to turn and leave the mining area. Sun Jing came here just because she wanted to see it, not Han Zhen's main purpose of coming here. The female beast here was indeed dozens of times larger than what she first saw. After Han Zhen recorded the information, He and everyone came to the place where the mineral reserves were located.

Most of the minerals stored here are minerals that have been refined in more than ten steps. According to human definitions of minerals, their grade is definitely not high. Even the second-level minerals, which are the ones before the Chinese people just left the earth for space navigation. Standards are even worse. However, this is not a problem of refining. Two different organisms will have different mineral needs.

Human beings' definition of minerals first requires purity. The purer the better, the purer the grade, the higher it will be. After obtaining extremely pure minerals, they will be combined to produce some new substances, and then some new substances will be produced. Refining, recombining,... Most of the seventh-level minerals are obtained in this way; but the minerals needed by ferocious beasts are not like this, and the requirements for purity are not high, and most of the time they have their own way of understanding. Man-made, ah no, animals add some substances to make minerals more suitable for their needs! For example, the indispensable ration is a multi-substance extract, a fusion extract made from a variety of minerals, animal energy, and its own unique recipe.

Can this fusion behavior of ferocious beasts be regarded as the fusion of humans? Is it equivalent to omitting the purification process? Is it possible to achieve this directly in one step? It cannot be understood in this way, nor can it be taken for granted in a general way. If you want to answer this question with simple explanations and inductions, you will definitely end up going wrong. Different civilizations will inevitably lead to different development directions, and different requirements will also lead to different minerals and materials required. These must be viewed completely separately, even if you want to combine two different civilizations. To create a higher civilization, we must first find out the commonalities between the two, and then slowly compare and compare them to form a unified consensus. This is not a simple job. Han Zhen is also working hard. Isn't this the same situation between cultivation civilization and mechanical civilization?

Even though she had just seen the grand scene of the mining area, and even though Sun Jing had seen countless mineral reserve situations in the warehouse star many times before, she was still deeply shocked when she entered one of Jinglong's reserve spaces. . It has only been two years since the mother beast appeared and the crystal dragons started to breed. However, the height is no less than 10,000 meters, and the length and width are between 30,000 meters. Except for the remaining aisles, everything is full. The refined minerals are neatly arranged. There are already six such spaces filled with minerals on the planet!

The mining efficiency of this crystal dragon is amazing. Counting all the large and small crystal dragons, it has not exceeded 200 million. Even if it is 200 million, it is incredible that six such places can be filled in two years. Already? ! Even one billion human beings, using China's best instruments and facilities, on the most resource-rich planet, would not be able to stock up on so much in two years!

Han Zhen and his party walked around the reserve space and selected some minerals as samples. Insufficient purity of minerals is always a problem. At least these minerals cannot be used until this problem is solved. Solving this problem is one of the purposes of this trip.
