Chapter 276 Mining Efficiency +1000%
“What a good thing.”
Amber looked at the regular hexadecahedron buried deep inside the asteroid in the picture and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Master, I didn't expect you to know this thing whose origin I don't even know?"
Lilith asked curiously. Since unblocking and connecting to the Internet, she has I am always in a state of continuous learning and collecting information.
After developing the 'Clone' and 'Quantum Entanglement Communication Technology', her learning efficiency has greatly improved.
Except for some knowledge that is blocked by physical isolation and has not been exposed to the Internet, she knows more or less other knowledge. It is not an exaggeration to call it an encyclopedia that is constantly being updated.
So when Amber showed that he knew this regular hexadecahedron, the strong artificial intelligence still found it very novel.
"Why, you are not convinced?"
"How dare I not be convinced by the Master~" Lilith changed into a sweet voice, and it sounded Amber couldn't help but shudder.
"I just think that the Master has more and more secrets. He is indeed the man Lilith likes!"
Lilith's virtual image suddenly appeared on the holographic projection device in front of Amber's eyes. Come on.
“Ah~ I really like this feeling of having Master’s secrets exclusively (^_-)~”
“Don’t go crazy now, I will take time to come to the virtual space after I finish my business. Stay with me and continue talking about business."
Amber raised his hand and pinched his brow. He found that Lilith had become more and more clingy recently. No matter what she did, she would always say 'MasterLove'. 'Driven by the core.
For Amber, it is definitely a good thing to have such a powerful artificial intelligence assisting her and thinking about pulling herself into the virtual space to post posts all day long.
But sometimes, Lilith's sudden 'madness' still makes Amber a little bit overwhelmed.
"So Lilith, you should know the Forerunners, right?"
"Yes, Master~ According to the information I have collected so far, no matter whether it is the human Federation, the Star Dragon Empire, the Business Alliance, or the elves' Thousand Stars Empire, they don't know much about the 'Forerunners'.
Everyone's understanding of this ancient civilization is still at the level of 'it was very strong, but it disappeared overnight, leaving only some relics'."
While Lilith was speaking, she opened some pictures she had stored on the holographic projection device, which were the relics of some forerunners discovered by humans.
Looking at the pictures and research reports sent by Lilith, Amber nodded. At least the current human research on the 'Forerunner Civilization' is similar to the plot in his memory.
Although many ruins have been excavated over the past few decades or hundreds of years.
However, except for the 'Relic No. 0' where the jump engine was unearthed on the human home planet, most of the other ruins are in dilapidated condition. Apart from letting humans know that such a powerful civilization once existed, there is nothing Too much value.
Due to the lack of ‘value feedback’ for a long time, there are fewer and fewer officially supported exploration and excavation actions by the Federation, Star Dragon Empire and even the Business Alliance.
In the end, only some private institutions such as specialized research institutes and foundations were left, and they continued to study the civilization of 'Forerunners'.
So the efficiency of exploration and research output in this area is getting lower and lower
By the time the trend of exploring the 'Forerunner Civilization' starts again, the players will already be playing the game. Two expansion packs later.
The official story at that time was about leading to the "Forerunner Civilization". Amber probably remembers that a ruin was dug up by a certain principality in the "original Star Dragon Empire" that had been split into several principalities.
As a result, there is a large and complete unmanned army production line in the ruins, covering small and medium-sized Forerunner warships in space, unmanned combat puppets and unmanned combat machinery on the ground and other equipment.
As it should be, the strength of this principality rapidly expanded and suppressed other surrounding forces. What followed was the plot of the "Lord Killing Rebellion" of the unmanned army, which can be called the "Chinese Code"
Then Not surprisingly, the entire principality has become the first super large guild-level raid of this DLC.
For the first time in the game, players had a head-on confrontation with the unmanned legion of the Forerunner civilization, and then the major guilds were hammered to death during the battle.
If we say that in the first DLC, facing the unmanned army brought back by Lilith, the reason why the players had a hard time was mainly because they had not played for long at that time and their various strengths were not too great. Strong, even if only a few leading guilds can gather a fleet.
So in this DLC, being beaten again by the Forerunner's unmanned army was simply crushed by strength.
After the accumulation of two DLCs, the strength of each guild is no longer the same. Even back to the first expansion pack, it was no problem to defeat Lilith's unmanned army head-on.
But Lilith's unmanned army is still a product developed based on the human technology she stored. In essence, it controls a large number of unmanned vehicles through infinite clones. Technically, it does not surpass human technology by much.
The Forerunners' unmanned army is completely different, pure high-end Forerunner technology.
Not to mention the fully automated resource collection equipment, as well as the weapons, equipment and combat machinery production lines, which bring a steady supply of troops.
From the lowest-end battle puppets to huge floating battle fortresses and battleships, they are all equipped with combat intelligence that matches their level, allowing these forerunners' unmanned legions to far surpass ordinary humans and elves in tactical execution. army.
In addition, there are black technologies such as anti-gravity technology, energy shield technology, real-time galaxy scanning technology, ancient stealth technology, and energy weapons down to the individual soldier level.
After a long period of precipitation, the coalition of players' guilds confidently shouted "Meet at the top", but on the first day of the battle, they were beaten to a pulp by this unmanned Forerunner army.
And according to the setting, the unmanned army belongs to the "auxiliary army" level in the battle sequence of the Forerunner civilization.
After the battle that day, due to difficulty issues, the official forum was directly rushed by players to start temporary maintenance and pretend to be dead by hanging the "war-free card". Because the fleets of many guilds were created by rich brothers and sisters, but they were all wiped out in one battle.
I recalled some past events in the game in my mind. ’ After that, Amber couldn’t help but be filled with emotions.
After Lilith noticed that Amber had not spoken for a long time, she also stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Master? Why are you distracted when talking to others? Are you tired of seeing Lilith's avatar?"
"No" Amber shook her head, of course he He would not admit that he was distracted just now, "I was just wondering why I suddenly discovered the equipment left by the Forerunner civilization."
"So Master really knows this thing?" Lilith asked curiously. road.
"Yes, the full name of this thing should be 'adaptive, self-sensing, self-organizing, growable large-scale mining and refining core'.
In layman's terms, it is a machine that can manage itself and can continuously expand its scale. Resource mining + refining factory.
And the resources here are not only traditional ores and metals, but also some resources that humans are currently unable to master. ”
< br>"Isn't that the equivalent of a 'gold finger for resource mining'?"
"Hmm, if this thing can be put into use, it will take less than twenty years to harvest 'A Bawa Ku' 'In the entire asteroid belt it belongs to, Atlas Mining's production capacity is about to skyrocket."
Amber looked at this 'resource mining golden finger' buried in the asteroid, and couldn't help but lament that she had been playing games all her life, and finally became European after traveling through time.
In other words, his mining team workers are ‘big red hands’ and can produce this thing in the asteroid belt.
At the same time, Amber discovered that her memory actually contained memories of this ‘resource mining golden finger’ hidden in the asteroid belt.
This large-scale mining and refining core was launched simultaneously in the expansion pack that released the plot related to the "Forerunner Civilization". There is indeed more than this in the game.
Due to its powerful resource mining capabilities, all the major guilds are purchasing this thing at a high price, which has directly fetched an incredible sky-high price in the player market.
If a small-scale player adventure group or exploration team can discover the coordinates of this thing, they can basically achieve "freedom of wealth" in the game.
This also led to the discovery during the adventure that this large-scale mining and refining core team basically ended up splitting up in infighting and backstabbing each other.
‘Once this thing comes out, it will have no brothers. ’
This sentence is the best description of this pioneer product.
Among the player guilds that were mining in this asteroid belt at that time, there was a guild whose mining area included the asteroid 'A. Bawa Ku'.
They were originally just an ordinary small guild, but their mining efficiency suddenly skyrocketed from one day to the next. In the following days, they used the profits from mining the asteroid belt to expand their fleet and annex surrounding player guilds, and finally grew into a A top-ranked super large guild.
At that time, many people thought that the key to the success of this guild might be that they had dug someone from somewhere else, who had a high 'refining' skill level and a high mining team command bonus. player.
However, some players still think this reason is far-fetched and feel that there must be other reasons.
But now that Amber thinks about it, they probably dug this thing out of the asteroid.
Since this thing has fallen into my pocket now, I have to accept this overwhelming wealth no matter what.
"So Master knows how to use this thing?"
"I'm not sure if I know how to use it, but I can try it and I should be able to find a way."
An Po paused and continued:
"Reply to the mining team in my name and ask them to keep this thing until I go back to deal with it. At the same time, block the message and do not leak any relevant information.
It’s really time to go back, just in time to send those little psykers back to the Tower of Babel. Ellenita said that she has helped find an elf psyker master who can teach them.”
"Master Yoda?"
"Huh?"
"I watched an old movie some time ago, and there was a similar plot in it, about an elf named 'Master Yoda' , training those young Jedi Knights with potential."
Lilith said with shining eyes. She was obsessed with watching human movies and TV series some time ago, and almost all human beings watched one movie every three seconds. I have watched all the film and television works.
“Well, when you say it, it seems a bit similar, but the elf master Elenita is looking for should be somewhat different from Master Yoda, right?”
