Chapter 428 Where Is [Lapis Lazuli]?

"Boss, I have laid the pipeline! Now all the things in the [Crop Harvester] can be brought directly to the villa along the pipeline!" Sun Li's excited voice came from outside the villa,

"Oh? What a coincidence, double happiness comes to our door!"

Shen Jin jumped from the window sill on the second floor and saw Sun Li's shadow holding an umbrella for him and following him.

Holding a [bronze pipe] model in his hand, he stood under the nearest telephone pole.

Shen Jin looked up along the top of Sun Li's head.

There is a yellow-green pipe next to the wire above.

This pipeline runs from the greenhouse crop area in the north to the sunken villa, running through half of the site.

"Boss, where to put the final exit?"

"Received from the warehouse on the first floor"

"okay!"

Sun Li quickly threw pieces of [Bronze Pipe] with [Traveler's Gloves] and led the pipes from the telephone poles into the warehouse on the first floor of the villa.

Ever since the extraordinary ones moved out from the first floor,

The first floor of Shenjin has always been a place where various commonly used resources are stored.

Easy to take,

Today, with pipes connected to the first floor of the villa,

The 30,000-acre fully automated production base has been announced to be fully completed!

[Crop Monitoring Machine] will take care of the growth of crops.

[Crop Harvester] harvests the fruits of crops and transports them to the sunken villa through [Bronze Pipes],

When Shen Jin is sitting at home, there will be a steady stream of vegetables and fruits delivered to him.

This is the charm of technology!

"Very good! This frees up a lot of labor, allowing people at the base to do other work!"

In the apocalypse, everything will be restored and there will be no shortage of jobs.

According to Shang Qian's idea, Home No. 1, which has the ability to transform into cubes, will build Q City into a more glorious place than before the end of the world!

Currently, the inner city of Home No. 1 has completed building upgrades.

Buildings such as self-service sales areas, shops, recycling bins, and schools have been expanded and their respective areas have been planned.

What were once ordinary bungalow shops have now become magnificent shopping malls.

The self-service sales area has also been renovated and has become an indoor space similar to a 24-hour self-service bank, with privacy.

Outsiders cannot see how many things the people inside have exchanged and how many crystal cores have been sold.

Better protect the privacy of all personnel,

Of course, there are cameras inside to facilitate inquiries by law enforcement officers.

The entire inner city has been covered by cameras.

Major factories and residential areas in the outer city are also covered by cameras.

What Shen Jin did was not to monitor everyone, but to increase the cost of crime and allow the citizens of Home No. 1 to hide their inner sins.

In this way, the security team has a lot less things to do.

Otherwise, every day is an incident of stealing or stealing money and killing people. Even if we can find out who did it and punish them, it will be a waste of human, financial and material resources.

The purpose of cameras is to prevent crime from the very beginning and make people lose their sense of luck and not dare to commit crimes.

"By the way, is my hybrid botanical garden ready?"

"Don't worry, I've done my job. Not only have I finished it, but I've also planted it according to your requirements. I see on the [Crop Monitoring Machine] that it will take about a month to see the hybrid results of the first batch of crops."

"Well, that's good. Just arrange some people to do daily maintenance. It's time for us to do something else."

"Yes! Boss!"

Sun Li and his umbrella-holding shadow walked away arm in arm.

Shen Jin looked at the warehouse with the [Vegetables and Fruits] sign on the first floor. The [Bronze Pipes] inside were connected to the [Boxes] one by one.

The whole house is full of [boxes]!

Even underground

Open the [box] closest to the [Bronze Pipe], and there are already spring greenhouse vegetables such as [Cucumber], [Bean], [Tomato], and [Eggplant] inside.

The fruit is not ripe yet,

More than 10 cherry orchards and vineyards are not yet in harvest season.

"It would be great to have pipelines, to automate the transportation of goods."

Looking at the pipeline in front of him, data flashed across Shen Jin's eyes, remembering the time when [Advanced Industry] was turned on.

A month ago, after arranging everything,

Shen Jin began to focus on how to use the two [World Lines] and nearly 20,000 [World Coins].

After a struggle between heaven and man in my mind,

Shen Jin finally chose to open [Advanced Industry],

Spending [World Line*1] and [World Coin*5000],

[‘Intermediate Industrial III’ upgraded to ‘Advanced Industrial I’]

[Unlock: geothermal generator, item buffer, electric sorter, fluid distribution machine, fluid flow regulator, induction furnace, batch workbench, MFSU storage box, MFSU charging stand, Lambton crystal, bronze pipe, steel pipe Tao, electric jetpack, nano sword, overclocking upgrade components, high voltage upgrade components, energy storage upgrade components, pop-up upgrade components, pump-in upgrade components, etc.]

Among them, [Geothermal Generator] needs to consume high-heat magma fluid to generate electricity. The power generation is huge, but it is currently useless. It is difficult for Shen Jin to obtain magma. However, if Sun Can is willing to cooperate, Shen Jin thinks he can make one human body dynamo

Next is a series of machines related to logistics and transportation, both solid and liquid, including two types of pipelines. There is not a big difference. [Steel pipelines] are more advantageous for transporting liquids, and the flow rate and temperature they can transport are both higher than [Steel pipelines]. Bronze pipe] high.

Shenjin can use [Item Buffer], [Electric Sorting Machine], [Fluid Distributor], and [Fluid Flow Regulator] with pipelines to build a huge fully automatic logistics center, which can complete the automatic transfer of items in the base. and automatic classification, very practical,

Shenjin's 30,000-acre vegetable and fruit base uses these equipment to integrate and manage items, and finally aggregate them into a large warehouse on the first floor of the villa.

At the same time, materials from some factories in Q city have also been transported automatically through fully automated logistics technology.

After the fertilizer plant is produced, the fertilizer will be directly transported to the vegetable and fruit base, stored in the general warehouse there, and then automatically replenished into 50,000 [Crop Monitoring Machines].

In the same way, groundwater is also transported by pipelines to the vegetable and fruit base, and supplies water to the [Crop Monitoring Machine] through the [Fluid Distribution Machine]. Pesticides from the herbicide factory will also enter the main warehouse, and then be distributed to each [Crop Monitoring Machine].

After such a supply chain was established, the fully automated production of today's vegetable and fruit base was achieved.

The advanced industrial [induction furnace] can burn two sets of materials at the same time, and the burning speed is faster than [electric furnace]. As the heat in the furnace continues to increase, the combustion efficiency will be further improved.

Shen Jin happened to upgrade his automated smelting assembly line.

At present, all minerals cannot be fired directly after being dug out from the seabed. Instead, they have to go through a [mine washing machine] to wash out the various ingredients.

This trick is aimed at various sand ore and silt mixtures.

However, the ore is different!

The ore cannot be washed at all.

Before washing the ore, the ore needs to be ground into powder, and then the ore components and other components are washed out.

After classification, it is fired into ingots.

Of course, some components cannot be burned, such as sulfide and uranium!

【Electric stove】does not accept these two items.

It also wants to work for a few more years

So, after mastering the logistics classification, Shen Jin spent a lot of effort and used the abilities of his old MC automation master.

A fully automated mineral ingot production chain has been built!

[Mining machine] → [Steel storage box] → (Pipeline) [Electric sorter] → (Does powder need to be beaten, yes) [Powder grinder] → [Ore washing machine] → (Can it be fired, yes) [ Induction furnace] → (Pipeline) [Box] in the warehouse on the first floor of the villa.

Among them, the [Electric Sorting Machine] process filters out the sand ore that does not require powdering, skips the 'powdering' step, and directly enters the [Ore Washing Machine].

The unburnable [Stone Powder], [Clay], [Sand] and other items washed out by the [Ore Washing Machine] will directly enter the pipeline and be transported to a special warehouse. These things can be synthesized into [Construction Foam], which is the most important thing nowadays. Building materials.

The [Ore Washing Machine] will also wash out some [small amounts of mineral powder] that are not enough to be burned into ingots. After judgment, they will enter the [Batch Workbench] and be automatically synthesized into the entire [Ore Mineral Powder] according to the synthesis formula specified by Shen Jin. Mineral Powder], then enters the [Induction Furnace], and is fired into [Mineral Ingot].

[Batch workbench] is an important part of large-scale automated production. It can record the synthesis formula. After putting in the corresponding materials, it consumes electricity and automatically synthesizes it. This eliminates the manual synthesis step of sinking and makes it completely automated!

Among them, [Pop Up Upgrade Component] and [Pull In Upgrade Component] are also used to ensure that the items sink in according to the specified direction and process.

Various components can be attached to the machine to provide the machine with expanded work performance.

Among them, [overclocking upgrade components] can improve the power consumption and work efficiency of the machine. Some machines with relatively low efficiency can put a few [overclocking upgrade components], and the speed will go up. Of course, the power consumption will also increase. Whoosh!

[High-voltage upgrade components] increase the voltage of the machine to facilitate line connection. Low-voltage appliances can also be linked to high-voltage wires;

[Energy storage upgrade component] can increase the power storage of the machine itself. Even if there is no power supply, it can still use the energy storage to work for a period of time. Shen Jin's current power is fully sufficient, and the circuit of the entire base is very stable. For the time being, This component is not used.

In order to improve the stability of the circuit, Shen Jin is preparing to make a new type of power storage machine [MFSU power storage box], which can store up to 4 million kilowatt hours of electricity!

Each [MFE storage box] holds 10 pieces!

One full charge is enough to last the entire base of Home No. 1 for 3 days.

This is because sinking into the current automated industrial base consumes too much electricity. Otherwise, if it were just for daily use, this value would have to be doubled.

It won’t be a problem to use it for a week.

To make this kind of storage box, you need to use [Lamberton Crystal], which is a more advanced energy storage battery than [Energy Crystal].

Each can store 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity! Holding it in your hand is equivalent to a large plasma bomb.

But then, Shen Jin discovered something serious.

His materials are in urgent need!

"Something is very wrong!"

When he got to this point, Shen Jin finally discovered a piece of information that he had been ignoring:

【lapis lazuli】!

He has never obtained this material!

No, he has obtained 2 sets of [Resource Gift Packs] from daily tasks.

In the past, this material was rarely used in industrial modules.

There is no use for this material in the Craftsman's Soul, causing Shen Jin to ignore the use of [Lapis Lazuli].

"No! In the game, [Lapis Lazuli] can be used to strengthen the Craftsman's Soul Tool, gain [Fortune] attributes, and mine more explosives. Obviously, this strengthening effect has been deleted because it does not conform to the logic of the world, so... Craftsman There are no steps to use [Lapis Lazuli] in the soul module!"

This was also the biggest reason why he ignored this material. He had been working on the Craftsman's Soul for a long time, and his mind was bound by materials such as [Adit], [Cobalt], and [Mayuling].

But at the [advanced industrial] stage,

[Lapis Lazuli] has become a commonly used material.

Because it is one of the raw materials for synthesizing [advanced circuit boards]!

Advanced machines require [Advanced Circuit Boards], including [Lamberton Crystal], [MFSU Storage Box], [Batch Workbench] and [Power Jetpack],

These are high-end machines. Ordinary [circuit boards] can no longer form their core, and more powerful [advanced circuit boards] are needed!

Shen Jin did the math and found that one [MFSU storage box] requires 13 [advanced circuit boards]!

Then you need 26 [Lapis Lazuli]!

[Batch Workbench] also requires 6 [Advanced Circuit Boards], which means 12 [Lapis Lazuli],

Shen Jin didn't feel anything when he synthesized it.

Now when making the [MFSU power storage box], Shen Jin discovered that he only had 2 sets of [Lapis Lazuli] in total.

If you make a [MFSU power storage box], 1/5 will be used at once.

Then don’t use the [Electric Jetpack] at all. This is the least used, but it also requires 3 [Advanced Circuit Boards].

A set of [Lapis Lazuli] can produce up to 10 [Power Jetpacks],

This is a personal flight equipment that replaces the ordinary [jet pack]!

Flight speed, cruising range, and portability will all be greatly improved!

And this [Electric Jetpack] will get rid of the situation where everyone carries a set of [Biogas Units] with them.

Just charge and you can fly!

Take the rechargeable battery with you and you can keep flying, which is extremely convenient!

Shen Jin wants to put it on for his thousand-person extraordinary team!

But the remaining [Lapis Lazuli] can only make 19 pieces, which is not enough!

"Calm down. Think carefully, where can I find [Lapis Lazuli]?"

Shen Jin thought about it for a long time and found that he did not understand the properties of this mineral in reality at all.

consult!

There is a professor of geology at the Dragnet headquarters. The last time he consulted about [Adite Ore] and [Cobalt Ore], he gave him certain suggestions.

"Yes! I gave Dragnet a resource requirement list before, and it had [Lapis Lazuli] on it. They may have gotten some!"

Shen Jin sent a message to the Tianluo Diwang Laboratory, asking to talk to the geology professor.

He didn't even want to do the [Nano Sword], so he just wanted to ask:

Where can I find [Lapis Lazuli]?

If this issue is not clarified, there will be no need to develop his advanced industry.
