316 The basis of operation is mining.
The day after the voyage, of course this is objective time. According to Lin Youde and his subjective time, it should be six hours after the voyage. ◎,
"Hey, commander, are the undercurrents in the entire universe rushing towards us?" Enleco teased on the command network, "Can these undercurrents be really made of dark matter, we can't see but have actually flowed in? Wait, the mirror, even if you hit me, it will only make me feel the impact of the collision between bones and bones and cannot produce the surging feeling!"
"Times have changed, and even Enleco has started to show off his girls. Our boat benefits are really good." Lin Youde fought back.
"Commander! You're so overwhelming. My heart will always be from the handsome little Dede! What a tide that looks like!" Jing Huayuan immediately screamed in the command network.
"My heart hurts so much! Doctor! Doctor Freya!"
"What? Who told me? I was distracted just now."
Then everyone on the ship received a system boost: lost the connection with Captain Enleco.
Lin Youde couldn't help laughing. He was already familiar with such a farce pattern. Bending the corners of his mouth was just a meaning.
At this time, Xia Yongzhi sent a private message: "It's great that Freya has recovered."
When the matter in the capital of Tula was just over, Freya was unwilling to leave Lin Youde too far, and insisted on staying where she could see him with her eyes. She stubbornly took several days to adjust.
[Actually, you think she shouldn't adjust it.] Noah said.
Lin Youde ignored Noah and asked directly about Enleko's line breakage, so Lin Youde turned to Jing Huayuan: "How is the homework progress?"
"We found a suitable asteroid and are cutting the shell with mining lasers. However, the asteroids here are not rich enough minerals. We may have to find a few more asteroids to get enough materials to build things ourselves."
Now the Enterprise is stopping in an undeveloped galaxy with only numbers, and is mining using the "basic mining suit" given by the Tula people.
Because after the Tula Capital Incident, there was only a little more than half a month to prepare for the Enterprise, and we could only give priority to completing combat and navigation-related things. There was no time or manpower to do engineering modules. However, Lin Youde considered that he might never be able to stay in a single port for too long, which would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, the Enterprise had to have some ability to repair it on its own, so the Tula people drew strength to install the Enterprise with the minimum engineering equipment: including a Tula printer and a mining work ship loaded onto the ship as cargo and carrier-based aircraft.
The printer is inserted directly in the place where the enterprise account reserved for the engineering module. There is not even a shell, and it looks like the smooth appearance of the enterprise account has a tumor, which is not ordinary ugly.
Moreover, the printers of the Tula people are similar to those of humans, and they cannot print things with complex structures as those of the Elalay people.
The printing technology of the Elalays is really too spectacular. It can directly print precision internal structures, and the materials of the parts are quite different. The printers of the humans and the Tula people can only print out components of the same material if they want to make the "handheld cannon" used by Freya. Perhaps they can also print some structures with less complex structures, such as butt stocks, and then manually assemble them.
If you only look at this aspect, you may feel that human productivity has not improved much compared to the sweatshop era two hundred years ago. In fact, this is not the case. First of all, the large-scale application of printers has increased the process accuracy of parts produced by humans to an unimaginable level in that era. In addition, the efficiency of printers in producing large objects is much higher than that of traditional production methods. In fact, printer efficiency is much higher than that of traditional production, but it is not as obvious as when producing large objects.
Furthermore, printing technology makes it possible for complex configurations that cannot be directly formed in traditional production technology to be directly formed.
Therefore, printing technology has indeed improved human production capacity unprecedentedly, but it has not reached the level of exaggeration that the Eralahites have been exaggerated. The Eralahites' printing technology is amazing. They omitted the assembly step and printed them all directly into molding. The Eralahite products are a complete thing. If you can't find any part seams on it, they are formed as one. Without the term "parts", they are "whole pieces".
Therefore, there are few disintegrations in ships in Elalai because there are no fragile connections. After the stress balance of ships of other races is destroyed, the connection parts of parts will not be able to hold on first, and then disintegrations. After the stress balance of ships in Elalai is destroyed, the strength of the ships in Elalai is similar, so it looks like it is grabbed from the outside by some huge force and twisted and then torn apart. It is precisely because of this that the ships in Elalai are usually split into several large pieces after being destroyed, unlike ships of other races that often break when destroyed.
These large wreckages are likely to be self-repairing. To make it completely dead, they can only kill all the power furnaces in the wreckage.
It is said that the Elalayans began to study systems that use countless ultra-small power furnaces to supply energy to warships in parallel. At that time, as long as an ultra-small power furnace is not destroyed, it will still provide energy. The remaining Elalay robots may rely on this little energy to repair other power furnaces one by one.
Races outside the Big Ten dream of getting the ability of the Elalays, and unfortunately they are still a little far behind.
The Enterprise Number can only use printers that can only be considered baby toy level compared to the Elalayans.
Now Lin Youde and his team are mining to build a shell for the printer. Now, the machine must be maintained and operated in the universe, which is quite inconvenient.
But the Tula people did not provide enterprise ore refining equipment. Although the printing itself can remove impurities in minerals and make alloys by adding other elements, there is no way to directly turn mineral oxides into mineral elements. By the way, the printers of Elalai seem to have this purification ability.
So Lin Youde had to build simple mineral refining equipment first. Fortunately, the Tula people gave Lin Youde and others the design drawings of their marine version of mineral refining equipment.
Is it possible to refine minerals when there is no mineral refining equipment? It is done by structural psychics.
De Niro is now responsible for the work of using his capabilities to turn metal oxides into metal element at the mining site.
In fact, Lin Youde originally wanted to use Freya's printer, but Freya's machine could only print things the size of a standard combat robot, and even if the drawings of the refining equipment were loaded, it could not be printed. There were no Eralah engineers on the ship, and no one knew how to adjust the small Eralah printer. Let several printers divide the work and cooperate to print large objects together.
Of course Noah can do this, but
【That would be less interesting.】
This guy is too lazy to even pull the flag.
[No, those principles are true, but now I have become like a human being, of course I have to start pursuing interesting things without violating the principles.]
You are becoming more and more human, you are becoming more and more funny, okay?
[Because my current personality is based on the original personality based on the collected data, it will be closer to the main data collection goals.]
So this is because I have had too much contact with Enleco. Wait a minute, Lin Youde thought, before that, I seem to be a funny person myself!
【So you know...】
...
In short, Freya's printer was used to print robots for enterprise numbers. Lin Youde sent a group of people to bring a basket of Elalay printers printed with some spare parts of the enterprise number to find mineral asteroids that can meet the requirements of printing robots. If it is successfully found, the Enterprise will greatly expand the number of robots soon.
Of course, the Enterprise robot has now been supplemented by many people with the Tula people, and the total number is much stronger than when it first set sail, but it is no bad to add more, and the accumulation of experience in replenishing robots will also be helpful for the subsequent journey.
Lin Youde also thought about using the Eralah printer to make parts of large refining equipment, but this kind of thing can be done by the Tula printer that the Enterprise Number is plugged in now, and the efficiency is not much worse than using the Eralah machine.
It's just that De Niro is needed to refine the minerals.
Refining minerals itself is also a psychic energy for De Niro, so it seems that this is not harmful.
"I said," Lin Youde was thinking, and Enleco was online again. "Now De Niro and I are working hard. Should you bridge officers also be active?"
"I'm on duty at the bridge, why don't I change with you?" Xia Yongzhi asked.
"Don't, it's so boring on duty. But aren't you still an idle person who has nothing to do? Blast him down to work."
Lin Youde sighed, patted Xia Yongzhi's thigh, and let the girl get up from her body.
"Okay, I'll go to work."
Just as Lin Youde stood up and kissed Xia Yongzhi again, the Tula people swam into the bridge of the Enterprise along the newly installed water pipe: "I'll take over Lieutenant Xia's duty."
Lin Youde and Xia Yongzhi looked at the Tula people together.
"What's wrong with your French accent?" Lin Youde asked.
"What? French accent?"
Only then did Lin Youde remember that what was transmitted to his mind was something translated from the translation module. Although his hearing also captured the real voice of the Tula people, his brain automatically replaced the real voice with the translation results of the translation module. Now when Lin Youde began to pay attention to the words of the Tula people, the real pronunciation stored in his memory was tuned out.
Wuming's speech is no different from before, at least Lin Youde himself did not see the difference between his pronunciation and his voiceprints.
That's the translation module.
"Lieutenant Sasara, have you moved the translation module?" Lin Youde asked.
"Yes, I've upgraded, Commander. Now the translated content from Tula will be conveyed in a French accent, so that if more races board the ship in the future, they can be distinguished by accent."
"Then you might as well distinguish it in Sichuan dialect and Hu Jian dialect."
"Okay, do you need to set it like that?"
"No," Lin Youde shook his head, "Just just have a French accent."
If you think about it carefully, the French accent dolphin is quite cute... (To be continued.)
