Chapter 167 Fully Automatic Mining
After upgrading the industrial module, more things are unlocked.
Shen Jin looked at them one by one, and then showed a strong look of surprise.
"One small step for industry, one big step for base!"
The first thing Shen Jin saw was the [Mining Machine]. This machine can automatically collect underground items.
If you install the [OD Scanner], you can automatically identify the ore and only collect the ore.
[OD Scanner] can also be used alone to detect surrounding ores in the same plane, and then display the location on the screen.
This is of great help to Shen Jin!
After handing over resources to the government, he will definitely enter the diamond mine and search for diamonds.
And in a mine that has been mined for 10 years, it would be very laborious without an [OD scanner].
"Let's make these two things first!"
Shen Jin checks the synthesis formula of [Mining Machine]:
[Circuit Board]*4, [Basic Mechanical Shell]*2, [Mining Pipeline]*2, [Box]*2
"Synthesis is still relatively simple. But I always feel like something is not quite right."
Shen Jin recalled for a moment and finally realized what was wrong. He remembered that the synthesis of the [Mining Machine] in the Minecraft game did not require so many materials!
"It seems... the synthetic materials have doubled?"
Shen Jin wasn't sure. After all, he hadn't played the game for a long time, so it was normal for him to misremember the data.
Fortunately, these materials are not much for him.
synthesis!
[OD Scanner] Synthesis formula:
[Circuit Board]*4, [Gold Shell]*4, [Gold Powder]*2, [Advanced Rechargeable Battery]*2, [Insulated Copper Wire]*6
"There is a problem! There must be a problem! The materials have definitely doubled, otherwise why would all the materials be multiples of 2, my dear! The direct materials for intermediate industries have doubled. If I don't ask the government for it, I guess mine won't last long."
Among them, [Gold Shell] and [Gold Powder] are newly synthesized items, which are processed from [Gold Ingot].
In the sea sand mine, a lot of gold powder was washed out by the [Ore Washing Machine], which was then synthesized and burned into a batch of [Gold Ingots]. Of course, there were also [Resource Gift Packs]. Only 4 were needed to make these things. [Gold Ingot] is not strenuous.
synthesis!
A cyan casing with a tablet-like device with a built-in screen appeared in his hand.
[OD Scanner]: Can scan various minerals within a 60-meter range and generate a simple map. Power: 0/1000kW·h
"Good guy, such a small thing can store 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity? How long will it take?"
You know, one kilowatt hour of electricity can charge your iPad 20 times!
"Tsk tsk~ Industry is really a big consumer of electricity. Such a small thing actually consumes so much electricity."
With these two things, Shen Jin can let it mine automatically. In the future, he can even harvest all kinds of ores underground just by lying at home!
"By the way, you have to bring the tools, pipes and drill bits are essential."
Shen Jin worked on the [Workbench], synthesized a set of [Mining Pipes], and brought his own [Mining Drill].
Came to an open space by the seaside,
Put down the [Mining Machine] first,
Shen Jin opened it and took a look. There was a [box] storage space inside, which could store the shrunken cubes.
There are four slots inside for placing auxiliary items.
Sinking places the [Mining Drill Bit], [OD Scanner], and a set of [Mining Pipes] at the designated locations.
There is also a slot for portable power storage equipment, such as [Advanced Rechargeable Battery] or [Power Storage Backpack], which can power the [Mining Machine].
But the stored power was a bit low, so Shen Jin directly placed the fully charged [CESU power storage box] next to it to power the [mining machine].
It stores a full 30,000 kWh of electricity!
Click the ‘Start’ button on the machine,
"Buzz buzz~"
[Mining Machine] is starting to operate!
Shen Jin saw from the side that a 1-meter-long pipe protruded from the lower end of the [Mining Machine]. The [Mining Drill] was attached to the front end of the pipe, smashing the rocks below, and then turned into a reduced square shape, and was [ Mining Pipeline] suck away.
A [Cobblestone] appeared in the space inside the [Mining Machine].
The [OD Scanner] in the machine kept making a beeping sound, and the [Mining Pipeline] detected whether there were minerals 60 meters around.
After scanning for a while, nothing was found.
[Mining Pipe] continues downward with [Mining Drill].
Every time it goes down one meter, the [OD Scanner] will scan. The [Mining Machine] will judge based on the scanned map. If minerals appear, the pipe will be extended over there, and then dug out and transmitted to the inside of the [Mining Machine]. space.
"That's right! There needs to be a box next to this thing, otherwise the [mining machine] will only have such a small space inside, and it will get stuck after digging for a while. By the way, we will make five more sets of [mining pipes]. The length of 64 meters is still too short. "
Shen Jin looked at the two boxes belonging to the [Industrial Module] unlocked by this module upgrade:
[Iron Storage Box], [Bronze Storage Box]
The synthesis formula of iron:
[Iron sheet]*8, [Iron shell]*8
The synthesis formula for bronze is the same, just replace iron with bronze.
"You need 12 [iron ingots], which cost more than [boxes]"
You must know that [Boxes] only cost 8 [Planks] to synthesize. The most indispensable thing for Shen Zhen on the mountain is wood, so he made many boxes in his workshop to stack things in categories.
Each [box] has various notes on it:
‘Wood’, ‘cobblestone’, ‘industrial materials’, ‘seafood’, ‘rice flour oil’, ‘study materials’, ‘JK maid outfit’, etc.
Shen Jin is not very interested in the [Iron Storage Box] and consumes too much.
"Let's take a look first, in case there are any surprises, for example, the space is particularly large."
Shen Jin worked for a while and produced an ordinary iron box.
placed on the ground,
When I opened it, there was no surprise.
45 storage spaces,
It is larger than one [box] and has 9 fewer positions than two [boxes] placed side by side.
Shen Jin put a [round stone] in, but two [round stones] did not appear.
Shen Jin thought it was a bit useless, so he used an [Iron Pickaxe] to knock it out.
"Boom boom~"
Shen Jin knocked hard, but the cracks on it expanded very slowly, and it took more durability to knock it off.
"Damn! I'm wasting my pickaxe's durability. Wait a minute!"
Shen Jin recalled some things. He remembered that when he used to play games, industrial modules seemed to require a [wrench] to be removed perfectly.
Shen Jin took out his [electric wrench] and pressed the switch.
"Snapped!"
[Iron Storage Box] is reduced to a block.
"Eh? Where is the [round stone] inside? Let me eat it???"
Shen Jin was shocked when he found that the [cobblestone] he had just put in did not fall out!
Not only does this thing have a lot of consumables, it takes up little space, it’s ugly, and it also swallows stuff!
Shen Jin put it down again, and then discovered
The [round stone] is still lying in the [iron storage box]!
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment,
"Fuck!!! [Iron Storage Box] NB!"
