Chapter 439: The Central Volcano of A2 Plain on Dawn Star
Hope breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he raised his eyebrows at Hansent beside him.
"Now, we have a boat."
"..."
After a brief silence.
"No! This is not scientific!"
"Why did your ship arrive before mine?"
“And it’s the latest type VI exploration ship!!”
Hope smiled broadly and shrugged: "Who knows?"
"Maybe Zero likes me and puts my order in front of you?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door. He wanted to go out and relax in the next moment.
Behind him, Hansent's shrill wail came.
…
the next day.
A small starship with a length of only fifty meters slowly left the Dawn Star City No. 1.
"Hey bro, wrong route."
Hansen's shouting voice came from the side: "The volcano is on the other side, you are going the wrong way!"
Hope glanced at the satellite map and said with a smile: "It's not the wrong way."
"Before prospecting, I want to go and see the water area next to City No. 1."
…
The mineral exploration ship slowly landed on a huge reef.
Reefs like this can be seen everywhere near the shore of the water.
Huge rocks divide this area of water into small lakes.
Although it is a lake, its average depth is more than fifty meters.
As for the central area of the water, the maximum depth there even exceeds 500 meters, which can be called a small ocean.
"laugh!"
With the sound of air tightness, the hatch of the mineral exploration ship slowly opened.
Hope, wearing a spacesuit, carefully jumped off the exploration ship, walked to the edge of the reef, and stared at the blue water below.
He raised his head, looked at the huge "moon" above his head, and said softly: "It seems that I have to take back my original opinion."
"What?" Hansent's voice came from the team's communication channel.
"This planet is quite beautiful." Hope leaned down, sat on the rock, and reached out to turn on the radio function of the helmet.
The sound from the outside world was transmitted to his ears through sensors and circuits.
The sound of the waves and the gentle wind made his eyes trance for a while.
Looking at the blue water in front of him, long-standing memories once again appeared in his mind.
That was not a good memory.
"call……"
Hope stood up, turned his head and glanced at the water behind him with a complicated expression, and whispered: "Let's go to the crater."
…
A2 Plain Central Volcano, as its name suggests, is located in the central area of A2 Plain.
It was like a bulging pustule, standing extremely abruptly on the vast plain.
Gurgling lava slowly flows out of the crater, brazenly showing to others how active the planet's core is.
A mineral exploration ship drew a graceful curve and landed on its mountainside.
According to Hansent, they should land directly near the crater, which is the most efficient approach.
But Hope refused the offer without hesitation.
According to information provided by the Academy of Sciences, this is an active volcano with the possibility of erupting at any time - this can be seen from the continuous gush of lava from the crater.
He didn't want this new spaceship to challenge the power of nature!
So...the two of them drove a mineral exploration vehicle, starting from the mountainside and heading towards the crater.
…
"The composition of magma is slightly different from that of the earth." Hansent skillfully operated the instruments in the car and completed the sampling inspection. "It's just the same. It's basically composed of silicate."
"The heavy metal content is slightly higher."
"This should be considered good news." Hansent said with a smile, "After such a long time, there should be some heavy metal minerals near this volcano."
Hope nodded and carefully operated the mechanical arm to grab a yellow solid.
"sulfur."
Hansent glanced at it and said again: "It seems that there are quite a lot of reserves. The Academy of Sciences should be quite interested in these."
Hope rigorously analyzed the composition of the yellow solid.
"It's not just sulfur, there's also some chloride and sulfide."
"These volcanoes can provide the Human League with a lot of industrial supplies."
The two took samples while driving the vehicle along the path of the magma flow.
"etc."
Hope's eyes lit up and he hit the brakes.
Before Hansent could speak, he controlled the manipulator again to complete a series of samples.
"Copper, nickel, and a little bit of gold."
"Get ready to detect the reserves. I have a hunch that this is a big guy!"
…
【Earth】
Perhaps it was because the plan proposed by Lu Yongchang inspired Tao Yuda.
In the next few days, Tao Yuda kept frowning, seeming to be thinking about something.
Lu Yongchang was happy to see such a scene.
He is only one person after all.
Even with the help of the technology tree system, he can only bring the most cutting-edge technological progress to human civilization.
As for other various branch technologies, they have to be completed by other scientists.
Plasma cannons are not difficult to make.
With several key technologies being solved, the first-generation plasma cannon was quickly produced.
The new starship carrying the plasma cannon was naturally formed at the same time.
After being assembled, the new battleship named [Battery Ram], under Zero's control, came to the weapon test site.
It is called a weapon test site, but it is actually a space far away from the human fleet and the Dawn Star.
The experimental target is naturally the [Golden Crow] battleship equipped with magnetic field shield and plasma shield.
In front of the [Golden Crow] battleship with a size of more than 1,500 meters, the [Battery Ram], which is only 500 meters long, seems to be inconspicuous.
At least, at first glance, the two are not of the same order of magnitude.
"Let's start the experiment."
Lu Yongchang stood in front of the holographic projection and gave an order: "Battery Ram releases the drone group."
Four huge holes suddenly cracked on the side of the cylindrical [Battery Ram].
That is the "port" of the siege ram.
Countless small drones equipped with magnetic field shield generation units swarmed out of it.
Under Zero's control, these drones quickly drove towards the front of the [Battery Ram].
Small in size and unmanned, the mobility of these drones has been improved to the extreme.
It took only a few seconds for a small number of drones to reach their positions.
The next moment, the magnetic field shield generation unit was activated.
An invisible gun barrel composed of a strong magnetic field appeared in front of the [Battering Ram].
As for the other drones, they turned on the magnetic field shield and slowly circled around the [Battering Ram] and the gun barrel.
Their main function is to provide some of the only defense for this high-attack and low-defense warrior.
In addition, they can also replenish the loss of the "gun barrel" under enemy attacks at any time.
