Since mineral collection operations in the future are to be scaled up and formalized, it will definitely not work if there are only two or three cats and kittens at a mining site like now, without even a proper dormitory. These 600 clones drove tractors loaded with large amounts of materials and tools and rushed to the three mining sites with murderous intent. First, temporary dormitories were built and temporary kitchens were constructed, and then the special cement transported from the main base arrived. Before long, a building with an area of more than 300 square meters that can accommodate 200 people and includes water treatment facilities, electric kitchen facilities, and dormitory areas was completed. From this time on, the clones participating in the construction work no longer had to live in temporary dormitories. In this formal dormitory, they can rest, eat and drink water very comfortably and conveniently. Afterwards, a large number of machines were assembled. Crusher, thermal cutting tools, mine cars, buckets, cranes, hoists, rail joints, etc. were all built. Li Qingsong left 180 clones at this oxygen ore collection point, 10 of which were responsible for logistics, and 170 clones all became miners. Different from the previous extensive mining, the miners now also implemented a formalized and process-based mining operation mode.
Special miners will use thermal cutting machines to mine large pieces of solid oxygen, and then special transport personnel will lift them and put them into trailers, towed to the primary screening workshop, where larger impurities are removed, and then to the primary processing workshop, where they are processed into the appropriate size, and finally a crane will lift them into the package and load them onto the train for transportation. After this complete set of formalized processes, the efficiency of oxygen ore mining has increased by more than ten times compared to before, and the production capacity has been greatly increased. The same is true for the other two branch bases, the Iron Ore Base and the Tolin Ore Base. When the railway was finally completed, the three branch bases were put into use at the same time. At the same time, a new power plant located in the energy industrial zone of the main base was also completed. This power plant uses more advanced power generation technology, and the fuel required to generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity is reduced by more than 5% compared to before, and its operation is more stable. For this power plant, Li Qingsong combined his previous experience and technology in manufacturing generators and specially developed six large generators with an installed capacity of 2,000 kilowatts. In this way, if operating at full power, this power plant can generate 12,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, which is 288,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day! The total installed capacity of only 12,000 kilowatts is insignificant on the earth, and it is even a backward production capacity that is about to be eliminated. After all, at this stage in the world's power plants, the capacity of a single generator is generally over 1 million kilowatts. That is to say, one generator can generate 1 million kWh of electricity per hour, which is several times more than the power generated by these six generators in a whole day. But at this moment, Li Qingsong is already very satisfied with this power plant. In addition to the electricity needs of the steel plant, it can even support all the electricity needs of the four bases that Li Qingsong currently owns! Whether it is the lighting in the planting base, the water pumps in the livestock base, the electric trains on the railway, or the kitchen electricity in the branch base, all can be supplied by this power plant. Three of these six generators are specifically used to supply the steel plant, two are specifically used to supply other factories and daily needs, and the last one is used by Li Qingsong as mobile power, which can be adjusted at any time according to the situation. At this moment, the railway has been laid, the sub-bases have been built, and the power plant has been built. Li Qingsong was filled with joy: "This steel plant can finally operate at full capacity..." Thus, with the main base as the center, a total of four bases presented a scene of bustling activity. Train after train ran back and forth on the rails, continuously transporting large amounts of ore back to the main base.
At the branch base, the clones, after resting, left the dormitory area wearing space suits, and then drove away various fully charged vehicles from the charging area and rushed to the mining site. After being busy for more than ten hours, the miners drove their vehicles back to the charging area to charge them, and then returned to the dormitory area, where they simply washed up and hot meals were served. After a hearty meal, I took a short break and then went to the dormitory to sleep. At the "dock", dozens of clones operated various machines, hoisting the preliminarily processed minerals one car at a time onto the train. When the 30 cars were full, accompanied by the surging power supply and the slight tremor of the earth, the heavy-loaded train with a total mass of more than 1,000 tons roared towards the darkness in the distance. We arrived at the canyon where the main base was located. At the dock here, there was also a complete set of mechanized equipment to lift these supplies down. Iron ore and various materials needed for steelmaking are transported to steel mills, while oxygen ore and tholin ore are transported to power plants. Six generators roared dully, producing a large amount of electricity. At the steel plant, various workshops cooperated in an orderly manner, and a large amount of ore was eventually turned into steel ingots or steel plates, which were transported to the warehouse for temporary storage. Vehicles from other places gathered here like ants, transporting steel ingots and rolls of steel plates away, and dropping them on the construction sites of other factories like nutrients, so other factories began to grow like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. With sufficient supply of steel, Li Qingsong can finally let go. The first one built was the battery factory that Li Qingsong had always dreamed of. With the strong support of the chemical industry, this battery factory, which is also built in a formal manner, can produce an average of 10 large-capacity battery packs every day and then supply them to the machinery factory. The machinery factory has not yet carried out subdivision operations. At this stage, whether it is tractors, mining cars, bulldozers or excavators, they are all produced here. With enough steel, production here began at full capacity, producing an average of 10 mechanical vehicles every day. After that, there are planting bases and breeding bases. As the population grows, the demand for food increases, and Li Qingsong has also adopted detailed strategies for agricultural facilities. He built a total of 10 agricultural centers, one of which was dedicated to growing wheat, another to growing corn, and then soybeans, vegetables, etc. In addition, there is a poultry center that specializes in raising chickens, ducks, and geese, which can produce meat and eggs; there is also a livestock center that raises pigs, cattle, sheep, etc.; and there is an aquatic center that specializes in raising fish. But none of these factories are what Li Qingsong values most. What Li Qingsong values most is a factory located in the core of the base. Clone breeding factory!
