There was a depressing silence in the main control room, and only the sound of Fanny and Zhenzhen's heavy breathing was heard.

Seeing the three people kicking Zhenzhen's weak body one by one, Fanny's breathing was rapid, her eyes had gone from dull to shock, and then she was very angry.

"Zhenzhen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Fannie's eyes were filled with tears. She walked to Zhenzhen's side, and suddenly knelt down, leaned on Zhenzhen's legs and burst into tears.

"It's okay, it's okay, just cry, just cry."

Zhenzhen gently touched Fanny's hair, and a hint of relief appeared on her face covered in tears. As long as Fanny could walk out of the shadow, what would it be like to return that terrible memory?

Actually, Zhenzhen has always cared about her friendship with Fanny.

When he was in school, Fanny took good care of Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen was able to have a transcendent status in school because of Fanny. Of course, what moved Zhenzhen the most was that Fanny burned the Moon God for her.

"Zhenzhen, I feel very uncomfortable." Fanny leaned on Zhenzhen's legs and sobbed, her body trembling constantly.

"I understand that whether it is the three or Singh, they are playmates who grew up with you. Their ruthlessness and death have caused you a lot of trouble. Most importantly, you actually have a vague feeling for Singh..."

"Really..."

"Fanny, don't think too much, things are over."

"Zhenzhen, I want to ask you, why didn't you tell me at that time?" Fanny stared at Fanny.

"If I tell you, we may not be able to leave the Moon God alive. At that time, I already felt the murderous intent of the three. In fact, I took the "Running Horse Picture" and confused the three, making him think I am a vain woman..." Zhenzhen sighed. At that time, she could never find a suitable person except to talk to Zou Zichuan.

Fanny was dazed and finally understood why the feeling of Zhenzhen was very strange at that time. In fact, she was protecting herself from being hurt.

"Last night, the three and Singh had colluded with each other and were ready to kill Zou Zichuan and us, and then share our shares."

"Zhenzhen, I don't want my shares anymore, I'll give them to you." Fanny said quietly.

"No, Fanny, this is what you deserve. At that time, the two of us agreed to Zou Zichuan to rescue the Beast."

"Well..." Fanny hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Fanny, have a good sleep and everything will be fine when you wake up."

"Um."

Fanny nodded gently, lay on the sofa, curled up and closed her eyes, and tears were still hanging on her face.

...

Once again, the restoration work on the Beast is in full swing.

During this period, every member of the Beast Number was full of respect for Zou Zichuan.

This week, Zou Zichuan worked like a robot. He worked almost twenty-four hours, just occasionally closing his eyes and taking a break.

Zou Zichuan drives a small transport ship to look for metal on this planet every day. He will carry a miniature metal detection instrument with him. In this week, Zou Zichuan has dug more than 1,300 metal samples and made each metal mining point into a holographic map using holographic images.

Through a series of tests, Zou Zichuan has found countless rare metals. Although the planet contains not many metal minerals, it is still quite rich, especially some rare metal minerals are very clean.

Everyone was infected by Zou Zichuan's work attitude, and even Zhenzhen and Fanni also devoted themselves to simple tests.

Everyone has no time to communicate, there are too many things to do.

Today is the ninth day of coming to this planet, which means that this is the 29th day they left the planet Riddle.

At this time, Zou Zichuan and Geely were driving an excavator to dig rare metals exposed on the surface more than 500 kilometers away from the Beast. This was one of the best metal mining sites after Zou Zichuan searched thousands of places.

Because there are no large-scale mining equipment, some metals buried on the surface have to be selected when mining minerals.

The transport spacecraft is very small and has to transport some machinery, so it can only carry 30 tons of metal ore at a time. Of course, 30 tons of metal ore is not mining in one place, but in hundreds of places. Because the amount of metal required for repairing the engine is not very large, but has a large variety, and the two people quickly completed the mining work in this place.

"Zou Zichuan, I have a question I have always wanted to ask." Geely sat in the main seat of the cockpit and did not start the transport ship immediately.

"Hmm?" Zou Zichuan was reviewing the metal system chart he had built, but he didn't look up.

"Why didn't you kill Jimmy and me that time?"

Zou Zichuan raised his head, looked at Geely with a deep look and then turned his eyes to the metal hologram. He began to organize these charts, marking the signs that had been dug on the spot, and clearly marking the address, location, and excavation time of the information.

"Is it because of the general?" Geely didn't give up.

"Yes." Zou Zichuan still did not look up.

"I understand..., but, I think, you should know that I am the captain of the Beast, why are you still rescuing us?"

"Since I let you go once, why can't I save you once?" Zou Zichuan glanced at Geely indifferently.

“…”

Geely opened her mouth and said nothing. Zou Zichuan's answer was not a reason, but it made him not know how to refute it.

The engine of the small transport ship started to take off, and it arrived at the Beast in just twenty minutes. You should know that the speed of the transport ship is not comparable to that of the mecha, and the flight altitude of the transport ship is much higher.

The metal ore placed in the box was sent into the small smelting machine on the beast number by the conveyor belt. This is a backward smelting machine. Geely never thought that one day would use this ancient machine, because he would not use this machine at all. The prerequisite for using this machine is to have rich metallurgical knowledge.

In order to use metal materials more reasonably and give full play to their role, it is necessary to master the properties that components should have in normal working conditions and the properties that materials should have during hot and cold processing.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why everyone is impressed by Zou Zichuan. Zou Zichuan distinguishes metal very carefully and digs selectively.

This is a complex and massive project.

Clean metal blocks were sent off from the conveyor belt and neatly placed in the beast's warehouse.

Every time a new piece of metal appears from the smelting machine, Zou Zichuan will use a cutting instrument to cut one and take it to the simple laboratory of Fengzhan No. lab to conduct physical performance experiments on the metal, such as specific gravity, melting point, conductivity, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, magnetic properties, chemical properties, durability, corrosion and oxidation resistance, etc.

It is not an easy thing to make sure that using the same metal is used, and you must have all the technical parameters of the metal.

In addition to conducting some basic metal experiments, Zou Zichuan is most interested in mechanical properties.

Repairing the engine is not difficult for Zou Zichuan. Even if the metal cannot be found on this planet, Zou Zichuan has several ways to repair the engine. The most direct and effective way is to dismantle some engine metals of engineering machinery and some mecha engine metals. Although these metals cannot meet the huge engine technical parameters of the Beast, there is still no problem to return to the human world for the time being.

Zou Zichuan wanted to find the metal that completely repairs Yazi from these metals. Although Yazi has repaired it again, the technical standards are far from the previous level. The biggest problem is that some rare metals used by Yazi have excellent mechanical properties. At present, Zou Zichuan has not found that it can completely replace the rare metals used by Yazi.

Seeing Zou Zichuan focusing on testing and calculating some mental strength, impact toughness and other data, Zhenzhen and Fanni couldn't help but look at each other.

The extent of this man's work fanaticism made them know what true perseverance is.

Zou Zichuan's patience is terrible.

In order to test the accurate data of the cross-sectional shrinkage rate of a piece of metal, Zou Zichuan can repeatedly do hundreds of repetitive actions.

Zou Zichuan's meticulous thinking made the two feel a huge pressure. There are hundreds of metals found on this planet. Zou Zichuan collected almost all samples for experiments, and then established a complete metal archive database, as well as a hologram of metal molecules anatomy...

The fat man was not impatient at all. His expression was always focused and devoted. No matter how the noise from the outside world would affect him.

On the 35th day, Zou Zichuan no longer remembered how many tests he had done, but he could never find metals that could repair Yazi. Many metals either had tensile strength or had a yield point that could not meet the requirements, or had their impact toughness but had not met the requirements after meeting the requirements.

“The hardness requirement cannot be met.”

Zou Zichuan looked at the indentation on a piece of metal in his hand, measured the depth with a light ruler, and sighed. This was already the last piece of metal, but he could never find a replacement for rare metals.

"Why don't you choose the alloy method?" Zhenzhen couldn't help asking when she looked at Zou Zichuan, who was sitting in front of the workbench at a loss.

"We only have original metal analyzers, no advanced metal analyzers, and the research of alloys is not a matter of overnight. We need to do a lot of experiments to obtain an alloy formula... Of course, we still have original solutions now, melt each metal or multiple metals and other metals, and then test their performance..."

"Then why not adopt it?" Zhenzhen asked.

"If I use this manual test, I think I will never have the idea of ​​completing this work in my life. One metal and all metals, or multiple metals, melt into alloys in various proportions. The metal blocks we get are at least tens of thousands, and this is just getting metal, and we also need to test mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, etc...." Zou Zichuan said with a wry smile.

Zhenzhen and Fanni were stunned. They had never thought that metallurgy was such a complex discipline.

"Is there any solution?" Zhenzhen asked.

"have."

"What?"

"Make an advanced metal analytical instrument to directly obtain the chemical composition and molecular structure of the metal, and then input the parameters of the metal we need, and the optical brain simulates the alloy formula..."

"Then why not do it? Isn't it difficult?" Fanny couldn't help asking.

"I'm already doing it, but, all I'm doing is basic work, for example, I've now built a complete metal archive and database, but this is just the most basic work. What we need is an advanced analyzer and an advanced optical brain, and this optical brain must have huge alloy data to provide reference for it."

Obviously, this is a very difficult requirement.

No matter which country controls the alloy formula, it is quite strict, because a formula is likely to be related to the rise and fall of a country and a company.

For example, the three major mecha companies in the universe all have their own alloy formulas. It is difficult to find alternatives to the metals they produce mechas. Even if they are found, their performance will be greatly reduced or the quantity is rare. Sometimes, the use of metals is not entirely considered only by considering their performance, but also by considering their storage.

There are very cruel examples of metal formula in the history of ancient humans.

There were two countries in the ancient earth era: Japan and China.

At that time, Japan lacked raw materials, and China was rich in land and materials. China became the country with the largest steel production in mankind in the 20th century. However, most of the steel produced by this ancient country was crude steel. These crude steels were exported to Japan. Japan used advanced technology formulas and turned them around in the smelting furnace. The value of the processed crude steel immediately increased several times or even dozens of times, and then returned to China...

Whether in the ancient earth era or in the cosmic era when the technological civilization explosion, advanced technological level is the foundation of a strong country.

"Why isn't that impossible?" With true intelligence, he naturally knows the importance of metal smelting, especially in this great era of the universe, any product cannot do without metal.

"There will be, haven't we started?"

Zou Zichuan smiled. In fact, there are many stupid ways to obtain metal formulas, such as using tens of thousands of metal analytical instruments to collect data at the same time, and then integrating them into the optical brain to establish an independent metal system. However, the drawback of this method is that it requires huge funds and technical personnel, which ordinary companies cannot afford.

Of course, the stupid method Zou Zichuan thought has no practical significance to some countries, because having a formula alone cannot solve the problem, because before mastering the formula, we must first control the metal resources. Human metal usage technology has reached a very high level, and basically all the metals found have ready-made formulas, so the human sea trial tactics are just thinking about it.

Moreover, Zou Zichuan's method has one of the biggest disadvantages, that is, it is separated from the habits of human society, because the metal usage system established by this human sea tactic is completely independent, and it is easy to find some metal usage technologies that are better than the current ones. However, because humans have become accustomed to it and formed a huge sales network, then, even if these technologies are owned, it is not easy to popularize. After all, it takes a long process to replace the old technology, and sudden replacement will cause market fluctuations...

In fact, with the development of industrial civilization to this day, every large company or country has technical reserves. These advanced technologies will not be put into the market, but will gradually replace the original products and markets. No technology company will immediately put the most advanced products into the market, even if consumers can accept it, some dealers and manufacturers cannot accept it.

This is like a spacecraft. Humans have now developed the 17th generation spacecraft, but there are still some ancient spacecraft being used. The popularization of advanced technology takes a long process. Some are years, and some are decades. Large machinery like spacecraft is even longer than hundreds of years. To improve it is also a local improvement, such as replacement of engines with greater power and optical brains with stronger computing power...
