Chapter 652: Mining and Drilling

Dasha hesitated and said:

"No need? This will be too much trouble for you."

The new recruits all spoke up for Dasha:

"It's just to testify for you, it's not a big deal."

Dasha was moved by what he said. It was the first time he saw so many people around him wanting to help him. For a moment, he felt that losing his job and being forced to join the army was not a bad thing.

"Boom boom..."

In the distant sky, there was the sound of a large battleship firing.

The sergeant came over and said to everyone:

"It looks like the landing troops from other locations are fighting with the alien creatures again.

Everyone, hurry up and pack your equipment. We must build the most basic defense base before the alien creature army arrives."

The recruits nodded and took action on their own, but some of them asked in confusion:

"Sergeant, there were many casualties in the landing battle of our regular army of the United Government alone. Is it really okay for the Aocheng Group to act alone?"

The sergeant explained to the recruits:

"Don't think that the mercenaries of the Aocheng Group are responsible for building the energy mining base this time. But the mercenary forces of the Aocheng Group can crush the alliance forces of the Black Gold Alliance in terms of equipment and personnel quality.

And our 9728th Corps needs to be dispersed to different locations around to establish military bases to clean up and defend alien creatures.

The Aocheng Group only needs to concentrate its forces in one place.

Whether in terms of the number of concentrated forces or the number of warships that can support ground forces, the mercenary forces of the Aocheng Group are stronger than us.

Contrary to your imagination, the regular army of our United Government is the one in a more dangerous situation.

You should stop worrying about it. "

Everyone thought about it.

Although they were new recruits who knew nothing, after the careful explanation of the sergeant, and after they saw the chairman of the Aocheng Group, Tucheng, take action in person during the starry sky battle.

These new recruits also understood the military strength of the Aocheng Group to some extent, which was probably not much worse than the regular army of the United Government.

In fact, they still didn't have a very specific concept.

If the current Gary Wei were to evaluate the strength of the Aocheng Group, they would be no worse than the regular army of the United Government.

With the strength of Tu Cheng alone, even if the 9728 Corps had a Qin-class strategic cruiser, it would be difficult to make up for the huge gap between the two sides in terms of top-level psychics.

This is why high-level fleets are the main combat power of the United Government, and high-level psychics are the top combat power of the United Government.

Compared with the new recruits of the 9728 Corps, the landing operations of the Aocheng Group led by Liu Cheng went much more smoothly.

Their mission is to explore energy veins and then establish energy mining bases.

Therefore, there is no need to divide troops to fight at multiple locations at the same time.

The number of hundreds of warships alone has already killed and eliminated 99% of the alien creatures hiding on the ground.

In addition, there are many psychics in their Aocheng mercenary forces. Before the large-scale landing operations of the ground troops, hundreds of level 3 and 4 psychics have landed on the ground.

All the alien creatures that may ambush them will be wiped out.

After that, the main force of the ground forces landed on troop transport ships and troop transport boats, and no troop transport ships were lost.

"The combat troops quickly deployed their formations and cleaned up the battlefield!

Provide conditions for the exploration team to carry out their work!"

After the troop transport ship landed, Arnold and others commanded the mercenary troops and combat machinery to quickly deploy their formations and advance to the periphery of their landing point.

Then the troop transport boats landed one after another, and a large number of various suspended armored vehicles and engineering vehicles drove down from them.

Finally, the mining team driving the power exoskeleton system appeared and operated special mining equipment for geological exploration.

Most of these mining teams were originally residents of Black Stone Star, and they had rich experience in mining black gold ore before.

The difficulty of the energy vein they were going to mine this time was much lower than that of the black gold vein, so this kind of work was easy for them.

Soon, the exploration team detected a depth of 5,000 meters underground, where a large number of energy veins existed.

After the huge engineering vehicle drove to the surface directly above the location of the mineral vein, it began to unfold dozens of fixed support arms and deeply inserted them into the surrounding ground.

Then the main body of the engineering vehicle began to rotate and stretch, and the working structural components that were originally contracted together restored their original appearance.

It was like a huge robot that was deforming and stretching.

In the end, the height of this huge engineering vehicle reached dozens of meters, and its size looked the same as that of a large battleship.

The miners drove the power exoskeleton device and loaded long metal pipes on top of the engineering vehicle.

The outer side of these long metal pipes had spiral patterns, and there was a hard drill bit in front.

It was hollow in the middle, and there were multiple transmission tracks installed on the inner wall.

It was a synthetic drill bit transmission pipeline specially used for mining mineral veins deep in the ground.

Driven by the engineering vehicle, the more than ten-meter-long pipeline penetrated the rock layer on the ground and continued to drill deep underground.

After the rear pipeline was inserted into the engineering vehicle, it was connected to the front pipeline, and drove the front pipeline that had already entered the ground to continue rotating and drilling.

Liu Cheng walked to the side of the huge engineering vehicle. The miners who were driving the power exoskeleton system were busy working and had no time to pay attention to Liu Cheng.

However, a foreman who was directing their work saw this and quickly put down his work and ran over, asking with a smile on his face:

"Chairman Tu Cheng, do you have any instructions?"

Liu Cheng looked at the huge engineering vehicle at work, and then felt the vibration of the drilling hole coming from the ground under his feet, frowned and asked:

"The movement of your drilling machine is too loud, which will attract all the remaining alien creatures around to our side.

Why don't you choose the mining method of drilling vehicles?"

Drilling vehicles are engineering vehicles with a drill bit in front, which can quickly open tunnels directly under the ground.

In Liu Cheng's impression, the noise of drilling vehicles is much smaller than this.

And it can also open up a wide underground mine tunnel, making it convenient for personnel and machinery to enter the underground and improve mining efficiency.

The foreman of the miners explained with a smile:

"It's no wonder we made such a big noise.

This planet is almost entirely made of rock and metal. It's more difficult to drill through the strata than mining black gold veins on Black Stone Planet.

It's just that the mining of ore is not as complicated as that of black gold ore.

The drilling vehicle may drill faster on Black Stone Planet, but on a planet with hard strata, not only will the drilling speed be slower than that of the drilling vehicle, but the noise it makes will also be much louder than it is now."
