After sorting out the development ideas, Chu Jungui started to implement it. He first renovated the two existing Arks and installed a new generation of power furnaces. One was equipped with four side-by-side harvesters and a large organic matter separator, and the other was equipped with a retractable one on each side of the front. A large excavation drill bit, and a total of eight large refining furnaces.
The main structure of the Ark was all ready-made, so the renovation work took less than a day in total. Two huge Arks and dozens of tanks drove away from Base 2 and headed for the mountainous area where the beast tide appeared.
Ark's maneuverability is very strong, and it only took 2 hours to cover a complex road section of hundreds of kilometers, and this was to take care of the protection of the tank. As soon as they entered the edge of the mountainous area, the two Arks became one behind the other.
Ahead is the Ark equipped with a harvester. Along the way, whether it is a double-leaf tree, an unknown shrub, or a purple-leaf grass, everything has been scooped up by the roots, crushed, and sent to the large organic matter separator in the cabin. In order not to waste resources, it even set the scope of logging to 50 centimeters underground, which means that even the mud was dug out.
Useless materials such as dirt are automatically separated and then sprayed out from the rear of the ark.
The Ark behind followed the path opened by the Ark in front, and the three drills began digging at the same time. The huge drill bit directly breaks all the soil and rocks, inputs them into the refining furnace at the back, and starts refining on the spot.
The terrain was gradually upwards, but the Ark behind them dug out a slowly upward slope, and all the excavated earth was smelted on the spot.
In this way, the two Arks slowly moved forward, forcing a relatively flat road 30 meters wide in the mountainous area. The Ark's speed is not very fast. It can only move a few kilometers per hour, which is about the same speed as a person walking. This is to take care of the processing capacity of the organic matter separator and refining furnace. If there is no fear of wasting materials, the forward speed can be increased several times.
But even at this speed, it is quite terrifying over time, because the two Arks do not need to stop at all.
After about two hours of advancement, a team of heavy-duty trucks arrived from the base to transport back the organic raw materials, basic metals, inorganic raw materials, etc. processed by the two Arks.
Organic raw materials will be turned into bioexplosives, power furnace fuel, and raw materials for manufacturing composite materials. Needless to say, the use of basic metals. Inorganic raw materials are mostly used to produce various building materials and the basic structures of starships and ground machinery. There are also a small amount of residues, which also contain some rare elements, waiting for technological breakthroughs. Further refinement.
After the transport convoy returned, it also brought back images and various data of two Ark vehicles advancing in the mountainous area. Chu Jungui was currently making final designs and modifications to the brand new Type II Ark.
The Type 2 Ark was much larger in size and was originally intended for transportation between two bases. However, Chu Jungui modified the design several times and the size became larger and larger. Finally, it became a behemoth 70 meters wide and 300 meters long.
Chu Jungui discovered that the larger the platform, the stronger the overall performance. After the final size was finalized, Chu Jungui simply put a full 10 power furnaces on the Type 2 Ark in one go. With a terrifying power of 5 million kilowatts, even a pig can reach the sky. Let alone heaven, interstellar travel is not a problem.
The basic type 2 Ark was originally used to transport supplies and personnel, and could also serve as a mobile fort. After receiving the data of the two Arks that had already driven into the mountainous area, Chu Jungui quickly completed the new design.
The new design is to equip the Type 2 Ark with a harvester and an excavation drill, and then add an organic matter separator and refining furnace. In this way, the Type 2 Ark integrates logging, digging, quarrying, filling pits and building roads, making it the best choice for advancement in mountainous areas.
As soon as the design drawings were completed, Chu Jungui directly started building the Type 2 resource-gathering ark. The communication between the two bases is not that urgent yet. Let's build something big that can open roads in the mountainous area first.
Chu Jungui's plan was to forcibly open a road in the mountainous area that could allow the heavy troops to march straight to the war beast's lair. This kind of plowing advancement will basically completely anger the native creatures of the planet, thereby attracting the beast tide.
The last wave of S-class beasts had just been wiped out not long ago, and Chu Jungui believed that the beasts would not recover so easily. The combination of Ark and Chariot is not a problem to deal with the B-level beast tide, even A-level ones can be withdrawn.
After the production tasks are assigned, the completion time is quickly expected. The initial time given was 30 hours, and then slowly shortened.
Some important components of the new Ark are already being produced ahead of schedule, such as power tires and suspension devices, gravity engines, etc. This greatly saves subsequent construction time.
After doing this, two hours passed before we knew it, and a new batch of transport convoys returned from the mountainous area. Hundreds of heavy-duty trucks transported nearly 10,000 tons of various raw materials, and then immediately turned back without rest.
Ark's production of raw materials is so fast that if the transportation team only travels every two hours, the transport fleet will not be able to finish the transportation.
Seeing the harvested raw materials, Chu Jungui silently added a plan to build a second-type ark. The test body just wanted to speed up the advancement in the mountainous area, not for more materials at all.
In the mountains and forests, beasts and insects of all sizes are running away in panic. There were constant roars in the distance, and the ground was shaking. Tall double-leaf trees could be seen falling down, raising pieces of dust.
On the top of an ancient tree, a messenger looked at the ark in the distance with only a little of its top exposed, hovered for a while, and then fluttered away.
Deep in the mountains, a small valley surrounded by mountains was filled with black mist.
The valley is not big, only a hundred meters in diameter, and the bottom of the valley is completely covered in ink mist. There are countless caves on the surrounding hillsides, some large and some small, densely packed.
The messenger flew over the valley, projecting a vision of the ark advancing through the mountainous terrain.
Dozens of eyes floated up from the depths of the black mist. While looking at the information brought back by the messenger, they projected a terrain map. There is Base 2 on the topographic map, which also includes the edge of the mountainous area.
The black mist absorbed the information, and a short but straight line appeared on the terrain map, which was obviously the Ark's route.
A cloud of black mist poured out of a cave on the hillside, and many eyes looked a little anxious, saying: "Great Brother Dao, those damn humanoid reptiles are obviously targeting us! Those damn low-level multicellular creatures, they... …”
The black mist that filled the entire valley surged, and hundreds of eyes appeared, impatiently saying: "Okay, scolding them once a day is enough. You have to use your time on the right path. Why don't you say a few more adjectives?" Will increase your cell count. Don't worry about them for now, they will take at least a few months to get here. With this time, we can gather a larger army of servants and give them a fatal blow."
The Xiaowu tribe retreated into the cave.
Countless eyes sank into the black mist again, and the black mist gradually stopped fluctuating.
During this period, the transport convoy returned to the base full of supplies. Looking at the heavy-duty trucks one after another, Chu Jungui felt that with such a huge supply of materials, it seemed that he could do something big.
