Super Invincible Battleship-Chapter 1711 - 662: Universe Mining_2

After Yan Fei completed the drone upgrade, he would continue to extract resources on Spirit Divine Star, aiming to transport all of the planet’s resources to the Dreamland Cave World. If it weren’t for the size limitations of the Dreamland Cave World’s space channel, which couldn’t open a channel large enough to accommodate the Spirit Divine Star, he would already be looking for ways to move Spirit Divine Star into the Dreamland Cave World.

Among the raw materials needed for the drone upgrade, most could be obtained locally on Spirit Divine Star. However, there was one thing that Spirit Divine Star lacked, and that was one hundred billion tons of oil. Yan Fei had already decided to upgrade the Drone Avatar on Spirit Divine Star. His biggest problems now turned into two: the first being the choice of location for the drone upgrade, and the second being how to transport the oil resources from Dreamland to Spirit Divine Star.

In Yan Fei’s initial drone upgrade plan, he thought of an extreme upgrade mode, which involved drilling a hole on Spirit Divine Star to allow the Drone Avatar to penetrate underground and then proceed with the upgrade by having the drone absorb resources from Spirit Divine Star itself. The advantage of this upgrade mode was that it wouldn’t waste any time, as long as Yan Fei transported one hundred billion tons of oil to Spirit Divine Star.

However, Yan Fei later discovered some limitations regarding the drone upgrade. The first limitation was that once the drone was triggered to upgrade, the process couldn’t be reversed or interrupted. If any unexpected events occurred during the upgrade, the drone’s upgrade would fail, and the drone would disappear forever. During the drone upgrade, there is a range for automatically absorbing raw materials, and if it exceeds this range, the drone cannot automatically absorb them. If there aren’t sufficient drone upgrade raw materials within this range, the upgrade will face failure.

Yan Fei didn’t know beforehand the maximum distance for the drone to automatically absorb raw materials, but when the drone entered the final stage of the upgrade, he learned of this maximum distance. When upgrading from level 5 to level 6, the maximum automatic absorption distance for raw materials was thirty kilometers.

With these limitations, Yan Fei didn’t dare arbitrarily choose a location for the drone upgrade. He had to conduct a detailed analysis of Spirit Divine Star, hoping to find an optimal upgrade position to reduce his mining workload on Spirit Divine Star. To do so, he input the resource distribution map of Spirit Divine Star into the Auxiliary Brain to analyze the planet and find an ideal location that would allow the drone to upgrade directly.

The Auxiliary Brain began searching for a spherical center with a radius of thirty kilometers, but after analyzing the entire Spirit Divine Star, it couldn’t find within a thirty-kilometer radius all the metal raw materials needed for the drone upgrade. This was due to the uneven distribution of mineral resources on Spirit Divine Star, where various minerals were irregularly dispersed all around. Despite the large total volume, they weren’t concentrated in a small area.

Therefore, Yan Fei couldn’t choose the first upgrade mode, which relied on upgrading directly among these mineral resources. Fortunately, Yan Fei had already set up a second upgrade plan, deciding to select an upgrade location on Spirit Divine Star that required the least workload. Within this location, there needed to be the maximum amount of drone upgrade raw materials, and it had to be close enough to the surface.

Then Yan Fei would deploy his intelligent mining army to exploit mineral resources elsewhere on Spirit Divine Star, transporting them to the surface of the optimal upgrade site. The need for proximity to the surface was not only for the drone’s upgrade absorption of the mined mineral resources accumulated on the surface but also for storing the one hundred billion tons of oil here. In this way, when the drone upgrade began, it would absorb all the upgrade raw materials.

With these criteria for selection, the Auxiliary Brain soon helped Yan Fei choose the optimal upgrade point. This upgrade point was located twenty kilometers beneath the flat ground where the space channel was situated. A drone upgrading here, within a thirty-kilometer radius centered on the upgrade point, would find all the necessary metal raw materials.

However, there would be a shortfall in the core upgrade materials of iron and nickel, and no oil. But if Yan Fei could extract 3500 billion tons of iron ore and 1500 billion tons of nickel ore elsewhere, then transport 100 billion tons of oil to this flat surface and ensure the stack height did not exceed ten kilometers, the drone upgrade could proceed.

After formulating the best upgrade plan, Yan Fei no longer hesitated and immediately began his cosmic mining journey. While Earth temporarily remained quiet, Yan Fei detected a substantial threat, understanding that he must quickly acquire formidable power to secure himself amidst forthcoming changes. This urgency is primarily why he wants to complete his drone upgrade plan in the shortest possible time.

Yan Fei returned to the Dreamland Cave World and began transporting vast numbers of intelligently automated construction robots to Spirit Divine Star. Under Yan Fei’s command, these over a hundred thousand robots reached the top of the meteorite crater where the space channel was located and constructed eight massive energy transmitter towers at the highest point of the crater.

On top of these eight energy transmitter towers, eight enormous wireless transmitters were installed. These wireless transmitters were modified using Earth’s Tesla coil principles by Yang Qi to provide remote electrical support to the smart mining equipment working here. Next to these eight wireless transmitters, eight massive electromagnetic signal control towers were installed.

All of Yan Fei’s mining equipment was intelligent mining equipment, having abandoned the use of fossil fuels. Their energy source was electric and controlled through an onboard system. Thus, eight wireless transmit towers were installed here under Yang Qi’s design, continuously transmitting power and automatically connecting to the smart mining equipment, ensuring their normal operation. This setup resolved the energy needs and allowed for continuous twenty-four-hour operation since the equipment always maintained optimal electric energy levels.

Yan Fei also had to precisely control over ten million smart devices, ensuring they coordinated smoothly to enhance mining efficiency. Therefore, he constructed eight electromagnetic signal control towers here. These towers were controlled by a supercomputer, which housed a smart program specially developed for cosmic mining. Although this smart program was not an AI, powered by the supercomputer’s robust computing ability, it effectively managed the smart mining devices through the electromagnetic signal towers, directing them to complete the cosmic mining work as instructed by Yan Fei.

Mining on Spirit Divine Star involved an extremely harsh environment, and energy consumption was enormous. However, due to productivity constraints, Yan Fei couldn’t yet construct a nuclear fusion power plant directly on Spirit Divine Star from the outside world. Fortunately, Yan Fei achieved the impossible in the Dreamland Cave World, where he constructed a super large-scale nuclear fusion power plant to produce massive electricity. This electricity was stored in Super High-energy Battery Packs, then brought to Spirit Divine Star, installed on the energy transmission towers, providing abundant electric power to the smart mining equipment through wireless charging mode.

Since Yang Qi gained inspiration and accomplished a breakthrough in basic technological theories, Dream Island’s technological level transformed dramatically, significantly distancing itself from Earth’s nations. From the technological support Yang Qi provided for this cosmic mining operation, it is evident that Dream Island is gradually entering the Cosmic Era. Only with cosmic-level technology can Yan Fei support his operation of mining trillions of tons of resources on the distant Spirit Divine Star.

By stepping out of Earth’s boundaries and acquiring the infinite resources of the cosmos, Dream Island is about to begin its legendary voyage, evolving from an Earth civilization into a cosmic civilization, carving out its expansive developmental space...
