National development: I build a base on rock beasts

Chapter 22 Building the Mineral Compressor
"Return the same way? There is no word coward in Zhang Qiang's dictionary! I still underestimated this point before, but we chased him all the way, we must get some benefits!"

Turning on the communication system, Zhang Qiang dialed a number.

"Mr. Zhang, I want to buy weapons..."

On the other side, Duan Ming watched the Fire Rock Beast eating the ice crystals fed by the worker bees non-stop for 24 hours. Just when he was feeling proud, an "alarm" came from the system. The energy in the contracted organism was abnormal. Please check carefully!

Duan Ming frowned. Right now, he only has two contracted creatures, one is the Fire Rock Beast under his feet, and the other is the Zerg Girl who is the Zerg base.

Duan Ming's first reaction was: Could it be a problem with the absolute obedience skill?

Calling Chong Nu to his side, Duan Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a long time before asking: "Cong Nu, do you feel unwilling to just follow me like this?"

Chong Nu was taken aback, and looked at Duan Ming with a puzzled face.

"Master, is there something wrong with me that you don't want me anymore?"

Under observation, Duan Ming didn't feel that the appearance of the worm girl was a disguise, so he checked the information of the worm girl:

Interstellar creatures: Zerg development base, scientific research.

Current level: Level 3.

Experience value: 132 points/2000 points, Zerg building creatures will increase by 10 experience point every 1 minutes, which can speed up the upgrade speed by increasing the number of Zerg buildings they have.

Body length: 2.2m/20m, switchable form.

Skill: Zerg communication, invalid.

Confidence score: 200/100.

Talents: Appearance change, emotion simulation, worker hive primary, exploration module.

There is no problem with this trustworthiness!

Since there is nothing unusual about the worm girl, it must be the Fire Rock Beast who caused the accident!

Touching the Fire Rock Beast's back, Duan Ming subconsciously withdrew his hand, with shock written all over his face.

The temperature of the Fire Rock Beast's back can already make him feel cold. Logically speaking, the Fire Rock Beast's body temperature should be kept at around 180 degrees. Why does this happen?

Xu felt Duan Ming's doubts, and the worm girl whispered nonchalantly from the side: "Master, is it because it eats too many ice crystals?"

Duan Ming was stunned. Although devouring ice crystals would allow the Fire Rock Beast to quickly increase its experience points and increase its size, he did ignore the Fire Rock Beast's own ability to withstand it.

"Let the worker bees stop."

The worker bees, the controller of the worm girl, asked them to temporarily park on the back of the fire rock beast, waiting for their next order. Duan Ming asked: "Bug girl, in this situation, how can the body temperature of the fire rock beast be restored?" normal?"

The insect girl thought for a moment and replied: "The fire rock beast's body temperature dropped significantly because it swallowed ice crystals. According to what the previous owner taught me, this is like human malnutrition. If you want it to restore its body temperature, give it Just eat some high-calorie minerals."

The solution was available, but Duan Ming thought of another problem.

Turning on the communication system, Duan Ming dialed the only one in his friend list, and soon the call was connected, and Tang Yaqing's voice came from the other side: "Duan Ming? What do you need from me?"

After several times of business, the relationship between Duan Ming and Tang Yaqing has changed from being polite to being like friends.

"I have some problems here. I want to ask you, do you, Tang Corp., accept other metal mines besides ice mines?"

"Of course I accept it, have you extracted other metal mines?"

"That's right, since you are collecting other metal ores, I will contact you after my metal ores are refined."

Just about to hang up the call, Tang Yaqing's voice sounded again.

"and many more!"

Duan Ming was taken aback: "Is there anything else?"

Tang Yaqing was silent for a moment, and continued: "Although our Tang Corporation also accepts metal mines, metal mines are much larger than ice mines, and ordinary small spaceships can't hold much at all. If you want to sell metal mines Mine, it is best to compress the metal ore first."

When he was in Earth Star, Duan Ming was one of the best students in the same batch. He naturally knew what equipment to use to compress metal mines: mineral compressors!
After hanging up the call, Duan Ming walked to his own interstellar computer. According to the idea in his mind, after inputting a series of instructions, the computer started to operate: there are still 12 hours before the successful construction of the mineral compressor.

Duan Ming doesn't know the specific situation of the Huoyan Beast right now, time is the most precious thing, so he glanced at the worm girl.

"Insect girl, shorten the construction time."

Chong Nu nodded and said yes, she walked to the computer and put her hands on the computer. The next moment, the countdown on the computer was running rapidly, but with dazzling effort, it had already returned to zero.

In an open space next to the base, a building slowly formed from the back of the Fire Rock Beast. It was a mineral compressor!
"Ms. Worm, let the worker bees go get some high-calorie metal ore and feed it to the Fire Rock Beast."

The worker bees began to work. As some metal ore was swallowed by the Fire Rock Beast, Duan Ming could clearly sense that the surface temperature of the Fire Rock Beast was gradually rising.

About an hour later, the system sounded: the energy in the contracted organism returned to normal.

Duan Ming let out a long breath: "Finally it's normal!"

Looking at the mineral processing center, the ice ore that had been flowing continuously before has turned into various metal ores, but within an hour, it has accumulated more than a dozen cubic meters in size.

Because it was the first time to use a mineral compressor, Duan Ming always had to test it first to see if it was consistent with what was described in the book.

He took out one cubic meter of metal ore and put it into the mineral compressor. The compressor started to run, and the roar of the machine sounded. Duan Ming nodded in satisfaction, and was about to add some more metal ore.

Accident happened!
With a loud noise, the mineral compressor stopped running. Duan Ming checked briefly, then slapped his head suddenly:
He forgot the most critical point in the manufacture of mineral compressors, super addicted to mines!
Compressing metal ore is fundamentally different from refining metal ore, and it is more difficult. The volume of metal ore is compressed, which means that its density becomes higher and it is also harder. Ordinary mineral compressors cannot withstand Can't help it's hardness.

Only in the important structure, coupled with super ore-loving, can the mineral compressor work normally.

Opening the chat area, Duan Ming asked other pioneers questions.

"Which big brother knows where I can buy super addicted mines?"

This question caused the quiet chat area to explode instantly.

"Damn it! Boss Duan Ming has already started to use the super addicted to mine?"

"Boss Duan Ming, don't you want to deploy modules for the base shield? Or build the main gun of the starship?"

"Boss Duan Ming, are you still short of pendants? I'll deliver them to your door for free, dear!"

Duan Ming was just about to close the chat area when he saw these unhealthy chats, when a message caught his attention...
