I was exposed for mining on Mars

Of course, Luo Xiu, who was on Mars, didn't know that there was a fight for the initiative to come and communicate with him on Blue Star. At this time, he had already waited for reinforcements from two other maintenance robots, and Luo Xiu himself did not need to dig ice for the time being. Layer work.

"Your Majesty Commander, we have reached the ice level."

After several hours of digging, Luo Xiu, who had returned to the base to rest for a while, finally received the message that maintenance robot No. 26 had returned.

At this time, Luo Xiu was in his lounge and was not wearing a power-assisted exoskeleton, so when he heard the report from the maintenance robot, he did not leave the room immediately.

"Excavate two pieces first and let them come and drag them away later."

After Luo Xiu gave the order to the maintenance robot seven kilometers away, he got up from the stool, stood up, and walked to the only mirror in the room.

Luo Xiu in the mirror had black hair and black eyes, and his skin was slightly fair because he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time. There is an obvious scar on his angular face.

The scar is located below the corner of his left eye and is about three centimeters long.

Before Luo Xiu came to Mars, there was actually no such scar on his face. The reason why it appeared was mainly because when the spacecraft hit Mars, it hit the bulkhead of the spacecraft due to its strong impact. And since Luo Xiu has not yet established complete medical equipment, this scar cannot be repaired for the time being.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the raw iron ore for the automatic mining machine has been gathered, and the maintenance robot has sent the iron ingots from the smelting plant to the manufacturing plant."

Just when Luo Xiu left the mirror and prepared to put on the exoskeleton armor and go out to the ice excavation site, the control system inside the base also contacted him at the same time.

While Luo Xiu was resting, the maintenance robots in other mines were not idle either. They did not rest at all and continued to transport ore to the base.

It is precisely because of these diligent and hard-working maintenance robots that Luo Xiu, who was resting, could collect the iron ore for the automatic mining machine.

"Make it directly. I'll be here right away." Since the automatic mining machine was about to be built, Luo Xiu could only put aside the information about the ice excavation site for the time being and prepare to install the automatic mining machine first.

"Chichi."

He quickly put on the exoskeleton armor and walked into a gate leading to the outside world from his residence. As the gate closed, the oxygen was quickly extracted.

After all the oxygen was collected, the second gate was opened, revealing the barren surface of Mars outside.

"Click, click."

Luo Xiu controlled the exoskeleton armor and walked down the steps, then quickly walked towards the manufacturing factory.

"Your Majesty Commander, the production has been completed."

When Luo Xiu walked to the valve gate of the manufacturing factory, the robot responsible for the maintenance of the manufacturing factory also quickly came up to him and introduced Luo Xiu.

"Drag it out, I'll take it directly to the mine."

Before the automatic mining machine was manufactured, Luo Xiu had already decided on an installation location for it, and that mine was where the Blue Star people first saw Luo Xiu.

The flat land where iron ore is piled outside the iron ore cave was leveled for the installation of automatic mining machines. At the edge of the open space, the power supply cables have already been laid, and mining operations can begin directly after the automatic mining machine is installed.

"Boom, boom."

With the roar coming from the manufacturing factory, Luo Xiu knew that the automatic mining machine had been transported.

In the distance, Zhurong, which was still outside Luo Xiu's lounge, had not pointed its camera at the manufacturing factory, but it had also picked up the sounds coming from here.

'what sound? ’

After hearing the violent roar, the barrage that had been silent for a long time after Commander Amerik's speech also appeared again.

‘The direction the sound came from seems to be a building in this base. ’ Luo Xiu’s base has long been partially data obtained by Blue Star humans through various modeling. From the position on the model, it can be concluded that the location where the sound came from should be the largest building in the base.

‘Is that the forty- to fifty-meter-tall building? Could it be that something was created? ’

‘Hey, are the people at the space center taking a break? Why aren't you turning the camera? ’

‘Turned around! ’

Under the urging of the barrage, the researchers at the Huaguo Aerospace Center, who could only control the camera of the Zhurong, finally turned the camera and turned the picture towards the direction of the manufacturing factory in the base.

'what is that? Is it a machine? This is too big. ’

‘It looks close to thirty meters, right? What is such a big machine used for? ’

'You guys, just now you said that others have forgotten ancient technology, now you are dumbfounded. I'm afraid this is not a star-destroying weapon. It will destroy our Blue Star with one shot. ’

The reason why the barrage in the live broadcast said this is mainly because the appearance of the automatic mining machine does not look like traditional mining machinery.

There is a circular depression above the mining machine, which is covered with body-shaped heat dissipation vents for internal heat dissipation of the mining machine. However, the temperature of Mars is minus 40 to 50 degrees all year round, so mining machines do not really need heat dissipation.

The distribution of the heat dissipation vent is the most important part of the automatic mining machine, a set of spiral drilling equipment. As the depth of mining continues to increase in the future, Luo Xiu will also lengthen the spiral screw according to the depth of the mine.

There is a black hole behind it, which is used to automatically transport the ore out.

Perhaps it was because the black hole was so large that humans far away on Blue Star thought the mining machine was a weapon.

‘No, why don’t civilizations that still mine artificially just build star destroyer cannons? This is too mysterious. ’

‘If that’s the case, then the technology may not be so skewed that it’s out of the solar system. ’
