Anyway, Xu Zhengyang no longer needed these outdated pieces of equipment, so dismantling them was no big deal.
As for whether the new survivors' camp in Baicheng would have any objections...
Xu Zhengyang simply didn't care!
When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth.
With Xu Zhengyang's current strength, he truly didn't worry about what they could do to him! So, he handed over all the refrigeration equipment he had collected from the cold storage to Da Bai, instructing him to continue building the warehouse, and then he went to rest.
*The next day.
After Xu Zhengyang got up and was having breakfast, a series of system notifications appeared before him: [Main Quest: Warehouse Upgrade (Completed)]
[Reward: Teleport Gate (Level I)]
...
[Teleport Gate (Level I)]
[Equipment Parameters]
(Maximum Teleport Distance: 500 kilometers)
(Maximum Expansion Diameter: 15 meters) (Power Consumption: Maintaining the Teleport Gate requires 1000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, and each cubic meter of object teleported requires an additional 2000 kilowatt-hours of energy) [Special Note: The Teleport Gate has two sides, A and B.
Side A is the fixed side and must be connected to a power source, while Side B is the Teleport side, which can be placed at any location within 500 kilometers of Side A.]
With the appearance of the system prompt, two small circles, one blue and one red, each the size of a rubber band, suddenly appeared in Xu Zhengyang's hand.
These circles were crystal clear, but when held, they felt metallic.
After reviewing the properties of the Level I Teleport Gate, Xu Zhengyang immediately said to Da Bai, "Da Bai, use the Four-Dimensional Rubik's Cube to change the direction of the railway in the shelter and lead it to the ground!"
As he spoke, Xu Zhengyang went directly to the surface of the shelter and placed Side A of the Teleport Gate one hundred meters in front of the Light Prism Tower.
The Light Prism Tower already had the function of lossless energy transmission.
Once Xu Zhengyang set up Side A of the Teleport Gate, there was a buzzing sound as the energy transmission beam from the Light Prism Tower illuminated Side A.
In the next second, the originally rubber band-sized blue circle suddenly began to expand rapidly according to Xu Zhengyang's will!
In the blink of an eye, the blue circle fully expanded, transforming into a large circle with a diameter of fifteen meters at Xu Zhengyang's preset location! Xu Zhengyang looked at the Teleport Gate in front of him with excitement, "Next, as long as we set up Side B, the Teleport Gate can officially start!"
Saying this, Xu Zhengyang opened his task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Copper Reserve (In Progress)]
[Copper not only has excellent thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and ductility, but it can also form numerous alloys with other metals that have various properties.
To ensure the healthy development of your shelter, please occupy a copper mine and ensure a daily copper output of no less than 30 tons.]
[Task Objective: The daily copper smelting in the shelter must not be less than 30 tons.]
[Task Reward: Knowledge Card - Engineering Modification]
Upon seeing the details of the new task, Xu Zhengyang instantly knew where to set up the B side of the Teleport Gate he had just obtained.
So, Xu Zhengyang immediately asked Da Bai, "Da Bai, how many copper mines are there near the shelter? Mark all the copper mines within a radius of 500 kilometers centered on the shelter!"
"Okay, Master."
Da Bai responded, projecting a map onto Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses, highlighting eight red dots.
Then, Da Bai highlighted one of the points and said to Xu Zhengyang, "Although there are copper mines near Baicheng, either the reserves are too low or the mining difficulty is too high.
According to the markings on the national military map, this location has the largest copper reserves within a radius of 500 kilometers, with an initial detection of at least 32 million tons of copper ore!"
Xu Zhengyang nodded upon hearing this, then clicked on the highlighted red dot to check the specific situation of this copper mine.
This undeveloped copper mine was located 300 kilometers west of Baicheng, near the city of Linshui, right next to Longshou Mountain.
Longshou Mountain was adjacent to the urban area of Linshui and was a well-known scenic spot!
Because of this, even though the leaders of Linshui City knew that this mountain was a treasure, they dared not make any moves on it.
They could only leave it there, out of sight and out of mind.
*Before the apocalypse.
If Xu Zhengyang had gone to Linshui City to say he wanted to develop the copper mine on Longshou Mountain...
He would probably have been drowned in spit by the locals before he could finish his sentence.
But now.
To facilitate his future mining, Xu Zhengyang directly used a large amount of explosives to blast the main peak of Longshou Mountain in half, and no one came to find him!
In fact, the survivors of Linshui City were more than happy for Xu Zhengyang to make a bigger commotion on Longshou Mountain! This way, the monsters in the urban area would all come towards Longshou Mountain, significantly reducing their survival pressure!
After setting up Side B of the Teleport Gate in the middle of the mining area, Xu Zhengyang connected the copper mine on Longshou Mountain to his shelter! For the safety of the shelter, Xu Zhengyang did not fully expand the Teleport Gate but only opened it to a small circle with a diameter of five meters.
This size was sufficient for the Engineering Robots to transport ore in and out.
Even if there were any unwelcome creatures at the copper mine trying to invade Xu Zhengyang's shelter through the Teleport Gate, as long as they dared to come in, the Light Prism Tower could instantly activate eight Energy Beams to evaporate them without a trace! As the copper ore was continuously transported back to Xu Zhengyang's shelter through the Teleport Gate, his Smelting Workshop also began to operate at full capacity! Once his daily copper output exceeded thirty tons, a series of system notifications immediately appeared before Xu Zhengyang: [Main Quest: Copper (Completed)]
[Reward: Knowledge Card - Engineering Modification]
Products from the system are guaranteed to be of high quality! After receiving the Engineering Modification skill card, Xu Zhengyang immediately chose to use it!
As a stream of light surged into Xu Zhengyang's mind, a wealth of knowledge about designing and modifying machines based on demand flooded his consciousness.
After a moment, once Xu Zhengyang digested and integrated the various knowledge that had just appeared in his mind, he immediately said to Da Bai, "Da Bai, stop the production of Engineering Robots and General-purpose Robots immediately!"
With that, Xu Zhengyang went straight to the computer.
Using the engineering modification knowledge he had just acquired, combined with the materials and production line precision of the shelter, he redesigned a series of new devices according to his needs!
[Hercules Crusher], [All-terrain Mining Transport Vehicle], [Multi-functional Plant Harvester]...
A whole array of devices.
Xu Zhengyang comprehensively optimized and upgraded all engineering equipment in his shelter based on its development needs, from mining transportation to farming and harvesting...
