128 Rat Mines 2
According to the coordinate points recorded on Nuel's main brain, the two spacecraft jumped to the orbit of Planet No. 9. The nearby airspace was quiet, and the gaseous clouds hundreds of kilometers wide showed an intoxicating lilac color, a bit psychedelic.
Hong Tao had no interest in such a beautiful scenery and immediately released four mining drones. They will collect gas samples with the spacecraft's collector for analysis to determine the content and types of fullerene in the gas cloud so as to determine the specific collection location.
Collecting fullerene molecules in gaseous clouds is a job with relatively high technical capabilities and requires precise analysis equipment. Clouds do not have very regular trajectories like asteroids and meteorites. In addition to being affected by external gravity, they also produce strong convection due to temperature differences.
To accurately collect fullerene molecules in gaseous clouds, it is a bit like fishing in a flowing river. First, you must accurately find where the fish is, and then follow the fish's swimming trajectory. In the end, the attack speed must be fast enough. After a long time of dragging, the concentration of fullerene molecules will change again. If the content is too low, there will be no collection value.
In addition, it is best to accurately distinguish the types of fullerene molecules. Some are more valuable, such as c50 and c72. The purchase price per cubic meter remains at a credit point of 30,000 yuan all year round. The other types are not very valuable. Although they are higher than ordinary minerals, the collection cost is not very cost-effective.
Therefore, it is not easy to collect fullerenes in gaseous clouds, otherwise such high-value resources would have been covered with mining ships that flock to it. After all, most miners do not have the ability and equipment, so they can only watch and be greedy.
In fact, Hong Tao is also a miner who does not have such ability. He has never collected gas cloud clusters at all, and has not even had it once. My dear master has this ability, but its main function is mining. Gas cloud collection is only good, and it is not professional.
But since he met Natalia, the main brain of the hibernator, all this has undergone qualitative changes. Although Hong Tao still doesn't understand many things, he always has an impression of them. He can't understand them and must know them.
My uncle has become more thorough. As the main brain of a mining barge, any knowledge about mineral analysis, scanning, collection, and refining has been mastered to the level of being close to that of Hibernator Technology. It has several more doggy legs than Hong Tao. The mining drone that has also been upgraded by Hibernator Technology can often achieve an effect of 11 or more than 2 when combined.
"Nuel, have you been here before?" So Hong Tao didn't worry about finding collection points at all. Most of his attention was on Nuel's movements. Since absorbing the synergist, the bearded man has become a normal person. There is no problem with driving a spacecraft, but it cannot be completely relieved.
"I don't remember... what model of your drone is, why does my main brain show that it can't get the specific data?"
Nuel shook his head. He didn't have much work. He just needed to operate an industrial ship to follow the mining barge closely, and then release the mining drone after arriving at the collection point. Nothing else needs to be cared about. Otherwise, the bearded man actually thought about Hong Tao's mining drone.
"It's the industrial ship that is too old and hasn't been upgraded for more than ten years. When we save enough money, we will buy you the latest spaceship. How about mine?" Hong Tao was not afraid of Nuel's suspicion. It would be great if he could suspicion, which means that brain damage is saved.
"It would be great if I could coat a layer of film..." Nuel was not suspicious, but had an instinctive reaction to the data fed back by the main brain, but had no active logical thinking.
"I agree with this. Don't want the dark yellow color of the Emma Empire, it's too old-fashioned. I like the shiny silver-like color!" As soon as I heard someone agree to coat the hull, my dear uncle immediately came alive.
"No, I still think the dark yellow is more restrained... Li, your master's brain can choose colors, but I will just keep telling me that there is a leak in the airtight door! It seems that I have to do more work and try to change to a new spaceship as soon as possible. By the way, does your master's brain have a name?" The old man's interruption did not make Nuel feel any discomfort, and he also thought it was quite fun.
"The captain called me a dear uncle, you can call me that too, hello Nuel!" When he heard someone asking about his name, the dear uncle was even happier and hurriedly signed up for the title.
"Hello, my dear uncle... Can you help me calculate how many credit points it takes to equip a hunter-class mining barge with a collection equipment? My main brain will only say that it cannot connect to the trade space station data service and cannot evaluate it!"
Nuel seems to prefer chatting with the spaceship owner. Hong Tao always takes the initiative to talk to him but rarely gets such positive responses. He always asks and answers one by one, basically not asks questions.
What is this called? There was an explanation in ancient civilization that birds of feathers gather together. People with far less IQ, experience, and interests like to get together. Obviously, the old man is more in line with Nuel, whose brain has been damaged, so they resonate.
Hong Tao definitely couldn't take the initiative to lower his IQ to cater to the people and masterminds of two children, so he became a lonely person, and he ignored the masterminds. More communication is good for Nuel to restore memory, and of course it also has side effects. The dear uncle will become more and more spoiled by him.
Didn’t the ancients say that the two evils are more serious than the minority. Nuel’s recovery is obviously more important than the depravity of his elder brother. Do more by yourself. Who can make us catch up with such a bad-quality mastermind?
In fact, there is no need to do anything Hong Tao does. The mining drones that have been upgraded through Hibernator software are more intelligent. They can complete them by themselves just by explaining the purpose clearly.
The collection and analysis capabilities are also stronger, and they also have a certain degree of cluster intelligence. They can compare and communicate data with each other. In addition to the final determination right, there is basically no need for too much intervention.
Nuel must have been to this galaxy, and may not have been here for a while. At least three of the mines in his mind are very reliable. If he hadn't done related work, who would have recorded such overly professional data without any trouble?
Three planets ran away in one breath, and the results of the collection and analysis were almost the same. I did not find too large areas of high concentration, nor did I encounter too barren situations. Hong Tao, the remaining mine sites, did not want to try it. This was not to collect the needs, but to confirm the source of the mine sites data.
Two days passed in a flash. The physiological advantages of cloned pilots are the most important factor for working on spacecraft than ordinary pilots. They can work on the spacecraft for ten or half a month without eating, drinking or sleeping, and persisting at this rhythm for several months or even half a year will not affect their health.
It is difficult for ordinary pilots to achieve such high working intensity, and the internal space of the spacecraft does not support carrying too many supplies. The cargo hold generally cannot store daily necessities, the temperature there is too low and it is in a vacuum state.
Just work endlessly and help from mining drones, the fullerene clouds suitable for collection are not easy to capture. The main reason is that the area of the gaseous clouds is too large, and they have been flowing around the planets for a long time, not to mention two spacecraft, even if there are another hundred or ten, they will still look like looking for needles under the sea.
At this time, the mining drones immediately showed their high-tech side. Their sensors are extremely sensitive and can be obtained by analyzing a small amount of gas.
The five drones are centered on industrial ships, with a radius of fifty kilometers and a distance of thirty kilometers, and are arranged in a semicircle. They are sweeping at high speeds of more than 2,000 meters per second. The fullerene molecular content in the places mentioned along the way is clear at a glance.
After finding a high concentration area, use the gravity generated by itself to suck all the surrounding gaseous molecules into the collector, magnetically screen the required fullerene molecules, compressing the waste into liquid and throwing it out. Every 100 kilometers ahead, a piece of water will be discharged, which is very similar to a few dogs walking and drowning.
The mining drones transformed by Natalia not only have fast collection speeds, but also have enhanced screening capabilities. The finished products they collect are more purified. But this is not an advantage. Buyers do not need this purity, so the price given is still the same.
