Survival of the Star Sea: Starting from a small broken ship and becoming stronger

Chapter 40 Technology and hard work

At this time, the outside temperature has dropped to -13°C.

Back in the safe house, I looked at Ruolan who was constantly operating in front of the [Food Processing Workshop].

He quickly unloaded all the cargo.

Hearing the sound of Zhao Feng unloading the goods, Ruolan looked back at him and then focused on the operation in front of him.

At the same time, she said loudly: "Sit there and wait for a while, the dishes will be ready soon. I have made some new ones and you can try them."

"En!" In response, Zhao Feng honestly went to the dining table and waited quietly.

Not long after, Ruolan brought over three dishes and one soup on a wooden plate.

Looking at the sumptuous dishes that were not much worse than the last meal, he couldn't help swallowing.

Seeing this, Ruolan chuckled, "Greedy~" and picked up a tempura-shaped fried shrimp with chopsticks and sent it to Zhao Feng's mouth.

After two bites, he was amazed by the taste.

Fresh, elastic, smooth and fragrant!

He glanced at the "vending machine" next to the [Geothermal Power Station] and then at the dishes on the table in front of him.

Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

'This is pure technology and hard work! '

After eating and resting for a while, he suddenly felt some tightness in his chest, and even if he adjusted his sitting posture, it didn't get better.

After thinking about it for a while, he reacted.

'Hypoxia! '

The snow was too heavy this time, and the ventilation holes had been blocked long ago. Even if he cleaned the door when he came in, the snow would quickly block the door again.

After patting his forehead, Zhao Feng returned to the surface with equipment and some resources and started cleaning up.

'If you want to completely solve this trouble, you need to add something even if you just clean it up. . . '

With things in mind, the work at hand is handled in an orderly manner.

First, clear all the snow at the door. It is not too easy to clean these things with a drill, and the area around the door will become clean soon.

Then, in order to solve the problem of hypoxia caused by heavy snow blocking the door, he decided to build a small building at the entrance as before.

It's just that because the underground entrance has been enlarged too much, the house built this time has to be bigger.

A small two-story building similar to a large garage quickly rose from the ground.

In order to prevent the roof from being crushed, this time he chose to use iron plates as the roof and main beams, while the walls are still made of wood as the main body.

The outer courtyard wall is still a wooden wall, which surrounds the hut.

In this way, the real base entrance can be hidden, and secondly, it can block the destruction of this kind of blizzard-like weather.

Most importantly, with the building outside as a "cover" to cover them, the two of them would not be suffocated to death due to heavy snow blocking the door.

The renovation was completed soon, and the ventilation problem of the main house was solved.

As for the problem of ventilation in the mine. . .

The ventilation holes in it are probably unusable, and there is actually no need for him to mine in the last 3-5 days.

The collected resources are enough for him to smelt for a long time, and can fully support the completion of the robot factory.

When the robot factory is built, there is no need for him to mine again.

After opening the door for a while, the feeling of chest tightness in the basement disappeared.

Nodding in satisfaction, Zhao Feng continued with the next step, expansion.

He wants to expand a new space to build robot factories and other buildings.

Adjust the output power of the drilling laser slightly, and start digging down towards the western wall.

With the start of the drilling laser, the expansion project officially started.

I have to say that the drilling equipment of the interstellar era is convenient!The plasma "drill" can be constrained into any shape, including points, lines, surfaces, squares, circles, and even polygons.

With the blessing of a sharp weapon, it didn't take long for him to dig out a 20-meter-long, 6-meter-diameter arched slope.

With an inclination angle of 45°, in order to facilitate going up and down the stairs, Zhao Feng thoughtfully dug out the stairs in the middle.

On both sides are extremely smooth slopes, which can be used as slides to quickly transport materials and people.

At this time, the overall depth of the safe house reached 15 meters.

The depth is already deep enough. In order to prevent landslides, he began to use the scanning bracelet for reinforcement.

Just like the new house decoration hangs white, the scanning bracelet decomposes and recasts 1 unit of iron.

After recasting, the iron sheet was evenly covered on the cave wall and the ground with a thickness of 10 cm.

Make arched tunnels stronger.

On the other side, Li Ruolan wanted to go outside to pluck trees after simply cleaning up, but just after opening the "garage" door, she was stunned by snow and low temperature.

She had no choice but to go to Zhao Fengna to see if he needed help.

Zhao Feng, who was reinforcing the cave wall, saw Ruolan approaching, his eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly commanded:
"Ruolan, you came just in time! Come and help me."

"What are you doing?" Ruolan asked a little strangely.

"Expand and strengthen our safe house. I predict that there will be a high probability of an earthquake in the future. Be prepared early and feel at ease, otherwise, with the rudimentary level of our safe house now..."

After a pause, he looked around the safe house and then made a "knowledgeable" expression, and continued: "You came just in time, I will dig in the front, and you will reinforce it from the back."

"Can this work? The earthquake shook so violently." Ruolan was a little puzzled.

"Vibration is indeed harmful to some extent, but underground, the damage caused by earthquakes is mainly shear force. In order to resist shear force, it is necessary to build a layer of curved iron plate reinforcement structure on the cave wall."

Ruolan followed Zhao Feng's finger to look at the curved wall.

"And I'm going to wait for our alloy production to come up, and then cast an alloy layer, so that the safety will be even higher."

Zhao Feng's explanation made Ruolan confused, she nodded her head and said she was fine.

"Start the work later, Ruolan, just cover the cave I dug out with a 10 cm thick iron sheet."

"Oh... But, do we have enough resources for such a large area?" Ruolan nodded and then asked.

"It's completely enough, the mine I dug for a day is not for nothing!"

After the explanation is completed, continue to work.

When two people work together, the efficiency is high, but within 2 hours, the area has been expanded horizontally by more than 10 times.

Originally nearly 400 units of iron were used and only [-] units remained.

However, this new safe house is much more spacious than before. After passing through the 20-meter slope, it is the newly expanded main structure.

It was a cylindrical room with a diameter of 10 meters.

The reason for not continuing to use the arch is mainly due to the problems of compressive resistance and shear resistance.

With the center of the circle as the central axis, the room is divided into two floors, the upper and lower semicircles.

The length of the room reached 100 meters, and its inner walls were all made of metal.

Of course, considering the insulation effect, he ordered Ruolan to lay a wooden insulation layer on the wall here.

Just as he completed the expansion.

The system prompt message pops up again.

【Ding!It was detected that you built an underground base that meets the minimum standards! 】

【Ding!It is detected that you are No.1 on the killing list, and you meet the requirements! 】

[Reward: Unlock the new building system "Base", randomly select 3+4 base types for you, please choose one of them as your base. 】

(It will be modified in your existing underground building system, and you will save time digging hard, just prepare enough resources.)
