Chapter 123

Hearing his words, Chu Xiu asked without thinking, "Are you... leaving now?"

"What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say?" Qi Heng was confused.

A0 interrupted and said, "Based on this analysis, he probably can't bear to leave you."

[You're overthinking it.] A0's words left Qi Heng speechless.

He answered in his mind and then said to Chu Xiu, "I still have things to do. It's related to the arrangement of QW-1. Time is short and there is no time to delay."

There was no need to explain so much, but after listening to A0's words, I always felt something was strange, so I said a few more words.

A0 refuted in a serious manner: [This is a conclusion reached after rigorous calculation. If you observe carefully, you will find that he wants to stay with you.]

[Quiet. ]

A0, who was forcibly muted and had his microphone muted for five minutes, typed a big 'QAQ' on the system interface.

In front of Qi Heng, Chu Xiu pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Then go ahead and do your work. I won't keep you any longer."

Compared to Chu Xiu, whose face was almost etched with the words "reluctant to leave", Qi Heng looked much more "cold-blooded and ruthless".

"Um."

Qi Heng, who hadn't realized Chu Xiu had any feelings for him, pointed at the little bug and said to Chu Xiu bluntly, "Go keep him company."

"Yes." Chu Xiu responded, but he didn't move his eyes away from him.

Qi Heng strode away.

When he and Chu Xiu passed each other, Chu Xiu turned his body and stared at his back. The loss in his eyes was not hidden at all and could be seen at a glance.

**

Outside the dead egg pit.

Qi Heng didn't say goodbye to the little bug cubs when he left. He couldn't stand the two little guys holding on to them and refusing to let go. Every time he left, it was as if he was abandoning them.

Board the aircraft and adjust its flight path.

Destination: Base 2.

The aircraft was flying in the sky. Qi Heng called out the system interface and asked questions while looking at it.

"A0, what's going on with crystal energy?"

"When you explained QW-1 earlier, you didn't mention the issue of energy use."

"Also, didn't you convert the obsidian crystal ore into energy points? Where did the crystal crystals come from just now..." Qi Heng looked at the 14.3w/50w displayed on the system energy bar, which was nearly 1.5w less than the previous calculation.

[Energy usage is mentioned in Appendix 3 of the "QW System Reconstruction Plan."]

[Also, after comprehensively analyzing current resources, we've concluded that manufacturing energy crystals offers the highest cost-effectiveness, and in the future, they can be directly supplied to technological equipment... The specific process involves purifying and compressing the obsidian ore into energy crystals of even higher purity and hardness...]

Qi Heng clicked on the plan. He had glanced through it before, but did not turn to the appendix page at the back.

[Before converting the obsidian crystal ore into energy points, a portion was cut off to make the 62 energy crystals required for the module.]

A0 is not the kind of AI that needs orders to act. It has partial autonomy and is more like an assistant that checks for deficiencies and fills in the gaps than a rigid program.

Qi Heng asked, not because he was angry at A0 for acting on his own, but because he wanted to understand clearly.

After A0 finished explaining, he nodded and turned to another matter: "A0, call up the complete industrial system of the Tianjia civilization during its Level 4 period."

【Search completed.】

[Tianjia Civilization Level 4 Industrial System Data Retention Rate: 86%.]

While he was looking at the data retrieved by A0, he took out the cubes and crystals stored in the folding space and piled them on the table in front of him. Then, with swift movements, he placed each crystal into the cube, one in each hand.

As one cube after another was placed into the crystal, Qi Heng finished reading the information.

"A0, since the QW system can be disassembled into modules and manufactured through [item manufacturing], then disassembling the production lines within the industrial system shouldn't be a big problem." After the last cube was assembled, he put all the cubes back into the folding space.

Qi Heng thought about this idea for a long time.

The technology of Level 4 civilization is already capable of allowing robots to manufacture robots, and robots can do many things simply by implanting corresponding programs.

The same goes for production lines. In addition to being able to produce all kinds of necessary spare parts, more importantly, they can process raw materials... extract metals from metal minerals and extract various derivative components from organic and inorganic chemical raw materials.

If we rely solely on Lei, how can we quickly produce qualified building materials that can be used to build a city? That would be too difficult.

[Directly allowing the system to materialize an industrial production line requires a large amount of energy points. The specific energy points required need to be calculated further.]

Qi Heng raised his hand and operated on the screen, clicking on "Mineral Smelting" to make the page jump to more detailed content.

"This one, this one... and this one." He checked off more than a dozen industrial production lines in one breath.

There are industrial robot production lines, metal mineral and chemical refining production lines, modular production lines, cable and wire production lines, etc. In the end, the one he chose was the controlled nuclear fusion nuclear power generation device and the production lines required for its construction.

It can be said without hesitation that if these production lines are manufactured, the progress in the dungeon will increase rapidly.

[A total of seventeen production lines, the required resources are... tons of metal and 190 million energy points.]

"..." Although he knew that using the system directly would consume a huge amount of points, this number still made Qi Heng's eyebrows jump.

This number is not that much. Taking the energy bar after the system upgrade as an example, the first-level system can store 500,000 energy points, the second level is 5 million, the third level is 50 million, the fourth level is 500 million... The energy bar of the sixth-level system was 50 billion.

On average, one piece is worth just over 10 million energy points, so it’s not that expensive.

The creation of these seventeen production lines is equivalent to taking half a step towards the fourth-level civilization, which is very cost-effective for the current Tianjia civilization.

The only problem now is that he doesn't have that many energy points.

"It seems that this road is blocked for the time being." Qi Heng was not disappointed. After all, this was just a concept.

There are not enough energy points now, but there will always be a day when there will be enough.

"Then we'll select the machines that can be helpful to Lei, manufacture a few and send them to him..." He said as he selected the appropriate ones from the options recommended by A0.

The raw materials are in place, and the machines capable of manufacturing parts are in place. What remains is to see when Ley can build a production line from scratch.

He was given all the necessary information and instructions. After all, he was a senior engineer from a Level 4 civilization, so it was possible that he couldn't even understand the instructions.

[The manufacturing task has been established and is expected to be completed in six hours.]

The system's [Item Manufacturing] is similar to the universal 3D printing, but it is more exciting than 3D printing in that it creates an item from scratch entirely by relying on energy points.

To the naked eye, one can only see a faint glow. However, zooming in reveals countless lines of light weaving endlessly. This level of skill, surpassing the sixth level by countless steps, is unimaginable.

[Balanced energy points: 10603.]

More than 100,000 energy points doesn’t sound like a small amount, but they are gone after just a little use. Ultimately, it’s because my demand for energy points is too great.

However, Qi Heng was not too worried. He had expected this situation to happen a long time ago. The C-level resource insect nest he planned to build was for the system to extract energy.

After the resource hive is established, all the ore produced by the obsidian mine will be supplied to Qi Lan.

The rate at which the Primal Zerg explodes is directly proportional to the amount of energy consumed by the commander. After obtaining more ore supplies, the rate at which their numbers grow will increase even more.

Qi Heng not only needs to replenish more energy for the system, but also needs more original Zerg. For this...even if it means hollowing out the entire Tianyun Star in the future, he will not hesitate.

"You can't do much with more than 10,000 energy points, so keep them for now." He said, sliding to the reward given after the previous system upgrade. Just as he was about to ask, he heard A0 say.

[Your Excellency, we have arrived at Base No. 2.]

The screen in front of the console shows a white tower in front. It can be seen that the distance between the tower and the aircraft is getting closer and closer, and then the aircraft's flying altitude is constantly decreasing.
