Chen Wangping couldn't wait to run out of the mine and follow the light.

As he got closer, he found that the light came from a white stone that was as tall as a person. The light was not very bright, but he didn't mind it.

As long as it's a gem.

Chen Wangping changed to a green steel pickaxe and smashed hard at the glowing gemstone mine.

"Bang!"

With one hit of the pickaxe, a series of feather-like patterns suddenly appeared on the gem mine. These patterns shared the force of the pickaxe and blocked the blow.

Chen Wangping was amused. "That's quite interesting. Could it be a gem related to defense?"

He took a deep breath, took a step forward, picked up the blue steel pickaxe, and smashed it down more than ten times at the gem ore point, breaking the feather pattern on the gem ore point and smashing it into more than a dozen pieces in an instant.

"Clatter"

Looking at the few rays of light flying out, Chen Wangping was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He transformed into lightning and quickly collected the gem block with the system light.

After putting them all away, he found that these gems were not big, each one was only the size of a thumb. Fortunately, there were quite a lot of them. He counted them and found that there were exactly ten.

Feather Stone

【Use: crafting materials】

[Special Effect - Feather: Equipment made of Feather Stone will have an amplifying effect on feathers]

[Note: Feather stone is actually a special fossil]

"Feather Stone? Will it have an amplifying effect on feathers?"

Chen Wangping played with the feather stone for a while and immediately thought of a way to maximize the use of the feather special effects.

Use this thing to build an egg incubator!

I have had the blueprint for the egg incubator for a long time, but I have never collected the five gems, so I have not built it yet. There are more than ten hatchable yellow chicken eggs and white-feathered quail eggs in the storage compartment.

Now it can hatch.

He put away the feather stone and glanced at the magnetite harvest in the storage compartment. In total, he had obtained [Magnetite] × 418 and [Stone] × 152.

The reason why he got so many stones was because he was very strong now. Sometimes when he swung his arms, he would knock down two stones, and then he could build it up easily.

It's just a bit troublesome to pick up. It would be great if there was something that could be picked up automatically.

After returning to the base, Chen Wangping stuffed the materials for the magnetic furnace and egg incubator into the vacant manufacturing table, selected the blueprints and started to build them.

[Egg incubator is being built, estimated to take one hour]

[The magnet furnace is being built, and it is expected to take one hour]

After arranging the tasks, he turned around and found that the giant robot's circuit board had been almost analyzed, with only a few minutes left.

Looking at the time, Chen Wangping was a little worried about whether the strong wind at noon would affect anything.

He thought that he would have to go to the black oil ruins again later, firstly to check the situation, and secondly to replace the batteries for the oil pump.

After waiting for a while, a green light appeared on the analysis and manufacturing table.

[Giant robot circuit board repair analysis successful]

[The secondary manufacturing platform's parsing capabilities are insufficient, and it can only parse the basic blueprints of the giant robot's circuit board.]

[Analysis Blueprint: Giant Guard Robot (Basic Version)]

Materials: Giant Robot Circuit Board x 1, Steel Plate x 100, Gears x 20, JD Alloy x 10

[Note: The giant guard robot uses coal as its energy source and consumes a huge amount of energy.]

Looking at the drawings, Chen Wangping smiled helplessly.

Now you don't have to think about what to use this thing for.

The manufacturing station is not of high enough level, so it can only be used as a guard.

However, he glanced at the production series technology tree.

Even after upgrading to level 3, there is still no level 3 manufacturing table blueprint. Doesn't that mean I have to use level 2 mechanical crystals to upgrade to level 4 before I have a chance to upgrade?

Could it be that the third-level manufacturing platform has some special function?

Recovering his thoughts, Chen Wangping took out the materials and placed them on the crafting table one by one, then clicked on the crafting option.

[Giant guard robot is being built, estimated to take one hour]

He didn't expect that this thing could be made so quickly, so he simply made something simple to eat and lay down on the bed for a nap.

At this time, the little carp in the fish pond floated up. She saw that Brother Ping, who had been busy, had finally taken a break, and patted her chest as if she was relieved.

At this time, it heard the sound of manufacturing inside the manufacturing table, rolled its eyes, flapped its tail and swam around, and the scales on its body flashed.

Flashing and flashing, a strange color just flashed from the scales of the little carp to the ten magnetite manufacturing tables, and suddenly the entire manufacturing table was glowing, which was very strange.

"Puff, puff, puff~"

Seeing that it had helped, the little carp proudly swam to the bottom of the water and slowly began to nibble on the ancient lotus leaves.

An hour later, the green lights on the egg incubator and magnet furnace manufacturing stations were the first to light up.

Chen Wangping woke up, rubbed his eyes, walked over and took down a magnet furnace to check:

The magnetite is bright black all over, very beautiful, and shiny all over. At first glance, it looks a bit like a round biscuit, round on the top and bottom, retracted in the middle, with a feed port on the top and a discharge port on the bottom side. The area it occupies is about the same as the original steel furnace.

【Magnet furnace☆☆】

【Application: Manufacturing finished magnets from iron ore】

[Special Effect - Strong Magnetization: The finished magnets produced by this magnet furnace are all ☆ grade]

[Special Effect - Large Capacity: The higher the quality, the larger the capacity of the magnet furnace. Current capacity: 30]

[Note: High-quality magnets are more helpful in converting energy]

Chen Wangping looked at the properties of the magnet furnace and found that it was still a two-star one this time!

He took down the other nine magnet stoves and looked at them, and was surprised to find that they were all two-star!

A total of ten.

He turned around and looked at the king carp seedlings resting in the pond, and smiled knowingly.

It seems that the little carp's lucky effect has also improved a lot along with its strength.

That’s great.

Chen Wangping put away the magnet stove and, according to the notes, chose an empty corner farthest from the living area and placed them one by one.

Fortunately, the notes mentioned large equipment. He tried putting in some conveyor belts and electric robotic arms and found that these things could still operate normally.

The automation process was not affected.

Chen Wangping looked at the storage compartment and found that the iron ore was almost used up, so he could only take out thirty pieces of iron ore and throw them into the feed port.

[Magnet conversion in progress, estimated time: 30 minutes]

A line of prompts appeared on the magnet furnace, and it started to run with a low humming sound.

Chen Wangping nodded with satisfaction. "One machine can produce 30 magnets in 30 minutes. Ten machines can produce 300 magnets. It's very efficient. It seems that there will be no shortage of magnets in the short term."

However, there is not enough iron ore now.

Seeing that oil refineries and chemical plants are major consumers of iron ore, it seems that we need to increase iron ore production.

Let’s set a small goal first, and dig out Mine No. 7!
