Chapter 382
"To put it simply, this planetary mining machine can eat sand and various random stones from the front, and then smelt them internally to form building materials of the required shape and fill them directly on the seabed."
"For example, the area around Penglai Island is a sea of mud and sand, with only a small undersea reef holding up the small island that originally stood there."
"Theoretically speaking, it is completely unqualified to build such a large land reclamation in such a place, because it is simply not stable enough to fill it with sand. If it encounters an undersea earthquake or tsunami, it will collapse in minutes. And the surrounding areas There is also a lack of solid reefs that can be collected for land reclamation.”
"Therefore, in the relevant academic circles, land reclamation does not mean that you can directly fill in any place with sand. After all, your man-made islands are different from other people's natural islands. Natural islands are often extensions of the continental shelf. , or produced by the solidification of lava from undersea volcanic eruptions. They have a strong enough 'foundation' so they are not afraid of any geological activities and climate disasters."
"Normally, if you want to reclaim land from the sea, you must first select a place with fairly stable geological conditions. In other words, this place already has the conditions to become a large island, but there is a lack of rivers flowing into the sea around it. The movement of ocean currents brought sediment, so no islands were formed.”
"Penglai Island itself does not have such conditions. Before Tianyu Group built Penglai Island, its original island was actually a small island formed by the solidification of lava from the eruption of a submarine volcano. It was abnormally protruding on the seabed. This The 'foundation' can only support a natural island the size of Penglai Island's predecessor, and there are many submarine volcanoes around it, with frequent geological activities."
"Building such a big island in a place like this is no different from building the tallest building in the world on the foundation of a small bungalow in the countryside. Moreover, the building is located in an earthquake zone. , An earthquake may occur at any time. This is why many big figures in the relevant academic circles believe that Penglai Island has major safety risks.”
"In contrast, building such a large island in the southern seas does not have these problems, because the water in the southern seas of our country is relatively shallow, and it is an extension of the continental shelf in the ocean. It has a strong enough foundation, plus Giant reefs are clustered together and the geological activities are relatively stable, so all conditions are met for building an island here.”
"And now, with the emergence of this planetary mining machine, the questions that have troubled us for a long time have finally been answered."
"It's not that Tianyu Group is unaware of the hidden dangers of Penglai Island, but that we are short-sighted and have no concept of Tianyu Group's super technology."
"The planetary mining machine's function of reorganizing materials at the molecular level perfectly solves the problem that Penglai Island itself has no stable foundation and the surrounding sea area lacks relevant rigid materials to collect. What it eats is the most common sediment and spits it out. But it can be solid granite, and it can also be rooted The shape of these granites is determined according to the needs. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is designed properly, Penglai Island is not only free of hidden dangers, but also terrifyingly stable, even more stable than some undersea volcanoes where geological disasters occur. And geological disasters have no impact at all.”

Less than an hour after the various data and functions of the planetary mining machine were released, an engineering research institute in Kyushu published a long article.
The content inside is mainly to answer the audience's doubts about the role of the planetary mining machine's "refining sand into stone" function in the super project, and why the planetary mining machine can fill up the vast ocean at such a fast speed. Such a big island comes out.
Because many people still don’t quite understand it after understanding the various data of the planetary mining machine.
I think even if such a big guy existed, it would be unrealistic to fill up a large island of 1,500 square kilometers so quickly.
And some people are not just talking nonsense, they really analyze it from all levels with reason and evidence.
The most important point is that the sea lacks some raw materials, either fixed reefs or some sediment on the seabed.
Even a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
No matter how good your skills are, you can't fill the island without materials, right?
And if materials are sent from land, the materials can fill an island of more than a thousand square kilometers. It may take several years just to send the materials, which is simply unrealistic.
Now the case is finally solved.
That is the planetary mining machine. It can not only dig, but also use local materials to produce various required materials to fill it.
It can be said that it perfectly solves all the problems.
For laymen who don't understand, they can only lament the awesomeness of this industrial behemoth, while those who understand are already kneeling to watch the live broadcast.
This is more than just awesome.
Of course, after figuring out the function of this thing, the biggest impact will be on the mining industry and metal smelting industry around the world.
What the hell, someone can dig out more ore with one shovel than you can produce in a year. Not only do they dig it, but they also refine it for you.
As long as you can find a suitable planet... No, you don't even need to find a suitable planet for mining. You just need to put this thing in a few large mines on Blue Star. With its ability, It can cause all mining and smelting-related industries in the world to go bankrupt.
Financial markets have always been the fastest to react to this kind of thing.
Many people were still watching the news and listening to popular science, and they didn't realize what would happen if this thing appeared. At that time, the stocks of related industries in the stock market fell freely.
The chain reaction triggered affected more than millions of people.
Of course, this kind of thing that a company's new product release directly caused the stock of an industry to plunge and affected millions of people might have been a big news in the past, but it is not a big deal now.
After the emergence of Tianyu Group, similar things happened more than once or twice.
This is still good. Before, Tianyu Group casually developed carbon-based wafer technology and threw it to Jiuzhou. That was overnight, the rooftop of a street in Bald Eagle was directly crowded with bankrupts who jumped off the building. The people who collected the bodies below were afraid of being hit by the people who jumped off the building behind them.
The free-falling people were like rain.
This is the horrible result of Tianyu Group's random announcement of a new technology or a new product.
