Yesterday, Xiao Tiemu and Golden Diao had already cleaned up the mine tunnel by chiseling and blowing, so today they just need to put it away.
After entering the mine, Chen Wangping knocked on the switch to turn on the second-level mineral detector, and scanned around while laying electric poles.
Half an hour later, his eyes flashed and he actually found a shining icon prompt appearing on the monocle.
Following the icon, he soon discovered that there was a black ore protrusion on the rock wall of the mine, which was emitting system light, but the light was slowly fading and seemed to be about to disappear.
Chen Wangping picked up the blue steel pickaxe and quickly aimed at the gem mine and smashed it down with all his strength.
"Bang"
With one blow of the pickaxe, the gemstone ore shattered, and at the same time, a line of prompts floated up in the field of vision:
[This chisel triggers a special effect - full of vitality]
Double the number of gems
In the broken gemstone mine, two ochre-colored round crystals were glowing faintly.
Chen Wangping walked over and picked it up. It felt very warm to the touch and slightly hot. Upon closer inspection, he saw some floc-like crystals inside.
【Exquisite Earth Crystal☆】×2
【Use: crafting materials】
[Special Effect - Earth Nourishment: Adding fine earth crystals increases the production speed of agricultural equipment by 20%]
[Note: Earth Crystal is the material used to craft some agricultural technology equipment]
"Earth crystal? Or a fine product?"
When he saw the note, Chen Wangping smiled and thought, could this thing be used for excavators?
Now that we have Xiao Tiemu and Golden Eagle at home, we don’t need the excavator for the time being.
But that's not necessarily the case, there are many agricultural equipment series.
Keep it for now. The agricultural technology series has not been upgraded yet. You may find it useful after the upgrade.
After working for another hour, Chen Wangping completed the laying of circuits for the iron mine and copper mine. However, no gem mines were found during this period, perhaps because they had not appeared yet.
In the mine, electric poles are connected to each other, quickly transmitting electricity in all directions.
After having electricity, the two electric mining machines placed in the iron ore area and the copper ore area respectively last night started up one after another.
The clattering sound of mining mixed with the sound of conveyor belt transportation sounded simultaneously in the mine, which sounded quite pleasant.
This is the sound of industry.
Chen Wangping looked at the twenty steam generators and calculated silently in his mind, "Currently, the total power generation capacity of our home is 200kWh. Regarding energy consumption, one secondary manufacturing platform uses 2kW, so ten of them would be 20kW. One electric mining machine uses 8kW, so six of them would be 48kW. One electric manipulator uses 0.5kW, so six of them would be 3kW. Without increasing power generation and without using land improvement machines, the maximum we can add is 16 more electric mining machines."
Currently, the ten second-level manufacturing platforms are barely enough to operate. He plans to fill the electric mining machines to the power generation limit before building a steam generator. Otherwise, the base has no energy storage device and the extra electricity generated will be wasted.
After returning to the base, Chen Wangping assigned the task of building an electric mining machine to the manufacturing station.
When he arranged the tasks and was about to deliver the materials, he stopped what he was doing.
That’s not right. There are robotic arms and conveyor belts.
What materials are added manually?
Except for some special formulas that need to be added manually, the rest of the regular crafting materials can be added by the robotic arm.
Chen Wangping walked to the material pile next to the furnace, made some simple plans, and arranged two transmission lines to directly reach the manufacturing area. He then installed an electric robotic arm in the manufacturing area to give it a try.
After trying it out, he found that the electric manipulator arm could just reach two secondary manufacturing platforms.
Although this method slows down the delivery of supplies, it still saves electricity.
"Our conditions are like this. I'll install more robotic arms when we have enough electricity."
Soon, Chen Wangping placed five electric robotic arms near the ten secondary manufacturing platforms.
After the tasks were arranged, the robotic arm in the smelting area took the iron plate and placed it on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt started slowly and sent the iron plate to the secondary manufacturing table. Then the robotic arm in the manufacturing area took the iron plate and placed it on the manufacturing table according to the planned requirements, and then began to build the electric mining machine.
Perfect.
Looking at the fully automated production line, Chen Wangping breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
It's comfortable.
By this time, he was a little hungry, so he took out the loach meat left over from last night, mixed it with some pancakes, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
While eating loach meat, Chen Wangping turned his head to look at the planting area.
In the planting area, the sweet potato vines have grown very tall, and the soil underneath is churning. I guess a lot of sweet potatoes have grown.
"After waiting for so long, I can finally eat sweet potatoes tomorrow!"
However, thinking of eating sweet potatoes, Chen Wangping took the opportunity to find the life crystal technology tree and check it out.
At present, except for fisheries, the rest of agriculture and animal husbandry have not been upgraded.
The materials for crafting a life crystal are 1 fruit, 5 feathers, or 1 egg, plus 1 fish.
"There's no shortage of fish right now. Fishing is very efficient. Oh, and now we have some small carp. I can make a few fish traps and crab traps and put them in the underground river to see what I can catch."
"As for the fruits, if you want to create life crystals, it's best to use small fruits like peppers and chili peppers. After all, it only counts the number. Using sweet potatoes is a waste. There are still not many varieties of seeds at home. I have to work harder to find them."
"As for feathers or eggs, you need to raise more animals. If you slowly save up a hundred eggs, it will take more than ten days."
