Chapter 337 Intelligent Shield Machine
"Ling Hai is right. I have encountered it before. A disaster strikes suddenly. Most people are not prepared and die in the disaster. The points gained in the end are all obtained by resisting the disaster!" Tate also nodded slightly.
"In this case, tell me, how can we resist this acid rain?" Su Yuan frowned.
"I think that according to the current situation, the sea water will be acidified, which will affect our base. We will either choose to abandon the base and fly outside the planet, or build the base among the mountains on the seabed and use thick rocks to resist the sea water. Acidification!" Ling Hai thought for a while and said.
Old Tate nodded slightly and added:
"Whatever method you use to resist acid rain will affect your points. If the Hong people judge that my method is effective, they will give me extra points! If we fly directly out of this planet, we may only get the most basic points!"
"So that's it!" Su Yuan's eyes lit up, he had a good competition, the Hong people didn't come forward, and even the rules of the competition had to be guessed by himself.
After pondering for a moment, Su Yuan felt like walking on two legs, moving the base while looking for ways to neutralize the acidification of seawater.
Now that the base is built on the mine mountain range, Su Yuan needs to find a huge mountain range, hollow it out, and build the base inside the mountain range.
To neutralize seawater acidification, Ling Hai and others need to find ways to develop related chemicals.
After the meeting, Su Yuan and others began to take various actions according to plan.
Su Yuan took people to search for the mountains and choose a place to move the base.
Su Xiaoyu went to monitor the changes in acid rain and find the specific causes of acid rain.
Ling Hai and others are trying to find a way to neutralize the acidity of the sea water.
Hua la la, above the sea, acid rain is still falling continuously.
The rough sea seemed to have been boiled by acid rain, with bubbles and white smoke rising.
There are large pits corroded by acid rain everywhere on the land. All the rainwater gathers together and pours into the ocean, accelerating the acidification of the seawater.
Several days passed without Ling Hai and others making any progress. It was simply an impossible task to neutralize the sea water on a large scale.
Su Xiaoyu also did not find out the cause of acid rain. She is better at detecting enemies and obtaining information, rather than analyzing and processing data to end the cause of acid rain.
Su Yuan was lucky enough to find a huge mountain range. The mountains were relatively hard and could withstand the corrosion of seawater for a period of time.
Therefore, Su Yuan asked Ling Hai and others to excavate the mountain first and build the base in the mountain, and then think about dealing with acid rain.
Su Yuan finally figured out that to deal with acid rain, Xiaoyu and other research and development robots would be needed.
It's a pity that when he came to participate in the competition this time, he did not bring a robot that knew how to develop.
More than ten days have passed, and the acid rain has not stopped. However, the volcanic ash has disappeared a lot, the sun can shine in again, and the temperature of the entire planet has become higher.
Su Yuan also moved into a new base. As the acidity of seawater continues to increase, its corrosiveness is no different from ordinary low-concentration sulfuric acid.
The spacecraft will be corroded by seawater when it goes out.
Su Yuan and others had no other choice but to hide in the mountain and wait for the competition to end.
However, the research and development did not stop. After many experiments, Ling Hai and others improved the corrosion resistance of the super sponge and could effectively protect the base.
Although the environment is getting worse and worse, Su Yuan and others can still persist for a while.
On Blue Star, Xiaoyu, along with Badai, Tangtang and others, finally built a prototype of a super-giant intelligent shield machine.
After the prototype is manufactured, it is necessary to continue testing. After obtaining the desired data, and after improvements, the super giant intelligent shield machine can be mass-produced.
This shield machine is more than 2 kilometers long and more than 100 meters in diameter. The amount of earth excavated per second is equivalent to the amount of hundreds of large excavators excavating in a day.
Although the prototype has been manufactured, Su Yuan has not returned yet, and Xiaoyu has not started digging.
Because of the time difference between the different dimensions and Blue Star, Xiaoyu felt that Su Yuan had just left for more than 20 days.
In fact, Su Yuan and others on a different-dimensional planet felt like they had been participating in the competition for several months.
Xiaoyu took Badai and others from Sky City to the ground to check out the assembled smart shield machine.
The entire machine is assembled by intelligent robots. It can be said that the number of turns of each screw is recorded.
It seems that there is no problem with this machine at all. Once it starts running, even a huge mountain can be hollowed out by it.
"Sister Xiaoyu, why don't we give it a try! We don't know when the master will come back. When he comes back, why not give him a surprise?" Bad and Bad said eagerly.
Xiaoyu also wanted to give it a try, but Su Yuan used to make the decision on such a big matter, so she was a little unsure.
“But the owner hasn’t decided where to start digging yet!”
"What's so sure about this? Let's analyze the Blue Star's data and see where to dig out the Blue Star and place the keel more appropriately!" Tangtang interrupted.
Xiaoyu thought about it and it was right. When Su Yuan came back, he would probably ask where it would be more suitable to dig.
She clicked on the system, and the three-dimensional projection of Blue Star appeared in front of her.
Immediately, Xiaoyu began to analyze the geological composition of Blue Star.
After excluding the sea water, the Blue Star will become an ugly elliptical planet. Then, based on the orbit of the Blue Star and the distribution location of the Sky City, the location of the excavation will be determined after comprehensive consideration.
In the end, Xiaoyu chose to start excavation on the Black State Continent near the equator. If all goes well, the first tunnel will cross the Blue Star along the equator.
After selecting the excavation site, Xiaoyu called for a planet-class interstellar battleship to transport the intelligent shield machine to the Heizhou continent.
At the same time, Su Xiaoqiang and other construction robots were also allowed to build temporary factories and offices for construction.
These factories will produce smart shield machines nearby, as well as spare parts and other materials that need to be replaced in daily life.
After completing the preparation work, the intelligent shield machine starts to work.
The huge gear blade starts to rotate, and it can crush even reinforced concrete.
Unlike other TBMs, this TBM starts digging vertically downward instead of horizontally.
The excavated soil and gravel will be automatically transported back to the ground. If you encounter ore with a relatively high mineral content, you can also pull it for smelting.
While digging, the surrounding rock walls are also being reinforced simultaneously.
In the early stage, various alloys and high-strength concrete will be used for reinforcement.
When the magma layer is encountered in the later stage, high-temperature-resistant macromolecular materials will be used to isolate the temperature, and superconducting alloy rods for cooling will be inserted into the rock wall to reduce the surrounding temperature, and then be reinforced.
This ensures the safety and integrity of the entire tunnel and prevents collapse problems.
The entire excavation process uses intelligent robots and does not require any human participation.
Because the various conditions such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen content in the tunnel are not suitable for humans, unless they are wearing protective clothing such as combat armors.
Xiaoyu, along with Badai, Tangtang and others, stayed in the temporary office at the excavation site throughout the entire process, monitoring various data of the intelligent shield machine in real time.
The intelligent shield machine will detect the rock formation in front of it and use different cutter gears according to the softness and hardness of the rock formation.
