Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

"The efficiency is still too slow."

Su Wen frowned.

It should be said that the mining speed of 'crawler' drones is not slow, after all, they were originally designed to include this function.

Twelve drones, with arms fully open, are equivalent to twenty-four drilling rigs working at full power.

But they are multifunctional drones after all, not professional drilling equipment of unknown civilizations.

The resources obtained from mining are still a drop in the bucket compared to his needs.

The grade of hematite here is not very high, around forty or fifty.

And the raw ore still needs to be refined.

Even a T3-level nanoforge eliminates the need for a series of processes such as water washing, winnowing, and crushing, and can directly separate the input raw ore into steel ingots and residues after smelting.

But after all, it cannot change the basic properties of atoms.

If one ton of ore is put into the nanoforge, about 400 kilograms of steel will come out, which is considered very good.

And, it’s just steel.

If Su Wen wants to build an omnic army, he needs more resources than just steel?

In terms of metals alone, common metals such as copper, tin, lead, and aluminum are needed, as well as rare metals such as molybdenum, chromium, tungsten, and titanium;

In terms of chemical industry, in addition to chemical fuels, a large amount of nitro compounds are also needed as propellants, or TNT, RDX, and Octokine for shell charges.

As for other polymer materials, crystal materials, volatiles, organic materials, electronic components...that goes without saying.

You know, when he went to the trading market this morning, even if he made a long list, it took him two or three hours to buy all the materials.

"It's a long road!"

Su Wen stood in the portable space, looking at the nano-forge that swallowed hematite like a whale and spewed out a large number of steel ingots under the surging electricity provided by the fission reactor, and sighed deeply.

Farming is not easy!

Then he suddenly shook.

Staring at the nano-forge running at full power in front of me, looking at its perfect refining ability that almost defies physics, an idea flashed in my mind.

Is there a possibility? He means possible.

Maybe it can be profitable to use the magical ability of this black technology nano-forge?

For example...

Contract the steel mill's smelting business at a lower price, collect their ore, and provide finished ore ingots?

Or, purchase lower-grade ores or even slag at low prices, and then sell high-quality ore ingots at high prices?

"My vision limits my thinking!"

Su Wen stood aside, thinking deeply.

This is no way.

This is not the first time for anyone to activate cheats.

According to the way of thinking of an earthling, it does take some time for him to digest it before he realizes the horror of the black technology system.

Compared with using blueprints to produce drones, and then relying on drones to painstakingly download copies and paint pictures.

These inconspicuous black technology devices in the portable space are probably the hens that can lay golden eggs.

..

After clarifying his thoughts, Su Wen quickly set several stage goals for himself according to the method he was most accustomed to before traveling.

Short-term goal: get rid of the secret materials in your hands and earn points and credits;

Mid-term goal: Examine the market and see if I can do some lucrative OEM business using nano-forges and universal factories;

The long-term goal is naturally to continue to develop the omnic army and prepare for the lunar corridor.

The goals of these three stages are not in conflict.

All can be completed in the following time.

However, the top priority now is to upgrade!

"System, open the technology tree."

he ordered.

As he finished speaking, an extremely huge translucent holographic projection panel appeared in front of him.

Most of the areas are locked with gray-white locks.

Only at the bottom, there are some bright lights.

The main technology tree is mainly divided into three categories.

Under each major category, there are sub-categories.

【physics】:

——[Force Field Control]

——[Computing Technology]

——[Particle Physics]

【engineering】:

——[Propulsion Mechanics]

——[Aerospace Technology]

--【Industrial Technology】

--【material science】

【sociology】:

——[Military Theory]

——[New World Theory]

——[Governance]

--【biology】

..

Su Wen frowned and glanced at one subcategory after another.

"System, set up specialization areas: [Particle Physics], and [Material Science]!"

【Follow your orders. Areas of specialization are identified. 】

The system's electronic voice calmly confirmed the command.

Only two fields of specialization can be set, and the technology of the field of specialization can reduce the consumption of technology points by 20%.

Particle physics, including the 'Energy' technology line and the 'Energy Weapon' technology line;

Material science includes 'machinery manufacturing', 'mineral smelting', and 'armor technology'.

In Su Wen’s view, these are the two most cost-effective technology fields and are worthy of heavy investment.

Immediately afterwards, he invested in a total of six technology lines, including the above five, and invested in technology points to upgrade them all to T2 level.

Climbing five lines at the same time, even if you have just gained a little fat, you can't withstand the terrible consumption.

[Operation confirmation. After deducting a total of 18000 technology points, there are currently 663 technology points remaining. 】

The electronic sound of the system echoed, and Su Wen held his cheek as if he had a toothache:

The fruits of a whole morning’s work!

After spraying tens of thousands of rounds of various types of ammunition, the technology points earned were only a fraction of the remaining.

You didn’t even keep him warm in his pocket, letting him enjoy the pleasure of being a rich man!

Fortunately, the sound that came next relieved the pain in Sue Grande Wen's heart:

[Congratulations to the host, unlocking technology:]

t2·Blue laser transmitter;

t2·Fusion energy;

t2·Improved reactor booster;

t2·'Rambler' power armor;

t2·Zero gravity refinery;

t2·Nanocomposites;

[Synchronized unlocking:]

T2 level drone blueprint package;

T2 class starfighter blueprint package;

T2 level heavy firepower equipment blueprint package;

...

A series of rewards made Su Wen look good again.

He casually clicked on the holographic projection, browsed it, and finally nodded with a smile.

Okay, it’s very fat. It’s worth the money he spent on it!

Except for the 'fusion reactor' that he has been thinking about for a long time.

Among all the technologies, the ones that satisfied him the most were the blueprints for the T2 power armor and the three blueprint packages.

Powered armor, commonly known as mecha.

This is a top-notch artifact that other mechanics at the same stage can only hope to achieve.

Mechanics without power armor can only rely on various puppets with high maintenance costs and the guns in their hands to fight.

Not only is its combat capability quite limited, but its survivability is also extremely worrying.

If there is no one to protect you, you can only hide behind the line and paddle around. Once attacked by monsters, it will be worse than other fragile professions.

With power armor, it's different.

Only mechanics who drive mechas can truly gain offensive, defensive and survivability capabilities that are no less than those of other professions.

However, the blueprint of a mecha is far more expensive than any other mechanical creation of the same level. After all, it is an extremely complex whole, composed of many subsystems including weapons, energy, armor, and transmission.

A mechanic with no money can't even think about this thing.

And the rich...

A rich mechanic can still fight without a mecha!

It's just a waste of money.

"Let me see...Tsk, tsk, tsk, it is indeed a black technology!"

After carefully checking the parameters of the T2 'Rambler' power armor blueprint, Su Wen couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.

Lightweight graphene composite skeleton!

A powered exoskeleton that provides a hundredfold increase in physical fitness!

Nano-porcelain-gold composite armor can enable high temperature resistance/reflective line coating!

Built-in two wh77-'Shrike' plasma cannons!

There are also multiple weapon mounting points, which can be used with other individual-level missiles or energy weapons.

The only drawback is that this 'Rambler' power armor is powered by an 'Advanced Type III' miniature cold fusion reactor.

In other words, he had to get some helium 3 to power it.

Fortunately, the fusion reactor that powers individual soldiers' power armor requires much less helium-3 than the fusion reactor that powers the entire portable space.

A rough estimate is that the helium-3 extracted from about 20 kilograms of lunar soil is enough to fill it with fuel.

Based on the consumption of the 'Advanced Type III' micro fusion reactor, one full charge would be enough for Su Wen to use it for hundreds of years.

Moreover, with the abundant power support of the micro fusion reactor, if Su Wen only equipped the 'Rambler' with energy weapons, he would not need to consume ammunition!

Energy weapons only consume electricity.

This is a disadvantage when there is a shortage of power, but it is an advantage when there is sufficient power.

Thinking of this, Su Wen clicked on his phone.

Write down the task of "buying 20 kilograms of lunar soil" in your memo.

At the same time, a certain idea in my heart became more and more urgent.

He wants to... go to Beijing!
