Chapter 143 The Second Moon Base
"What about oxygen? This seems to be the most important problem to be solved. You can't live in a spacesuit all day, right?"

Yang Ming asked curiously.

"As early as a few years ago, the United States announced that it had created a 'lunar oxygen generator'. After heating a material they found in the moon with high temperature, about one-fifth of the material would be decomposed into oxygen. As long as we Find it on the moon, and the oxygen problem can be solved."

Yang Ming nodded after listening. These scientific research matters have nothing to do with him. What he cares most about is how much metal ability the moon can provide him and whether helium 3 can be developed smoothly.

"I don't care about this, you can command it. I will go around and see if I can find anything. I will leave a thousand mechanical engineers to help you with the construction, and Yang Hao can directly command them."

After speaking, Yang Ming directly spent 100 million metal ability points to summon a thousand mechanical engineers, and they lined up neatly in front of Yang Ming.

Chen Bin's eyes straightened when he saw these things.

"Damn, you still have such a good thing, why don't you take it out sooner."

Yang Ming smiled and continued: "Tell me if it's not enough. I'm very interested in the dark side of the moon. I'll go over and see if there are any new discoveries. Maybe I can find aliens."

"Go, go, be careful not to be captured by aliens."

Yang Ming smiled and called Yang Xuan. After all the cargo in the Canglong was unloaded, the two of them took the Canglong and went straight to the dark side of the moon. The revolution time of the earth is almost the same, so that one side of the moon is always invisible from the earth, so it is called the dark side of the moon. In fact, there are also sunrise and sunset here, which is not much different from the side facing the earth. difference.

Maybe it's because people can't see it, so they are full of endless curiosity about the dark side of the moon, and a lot of legends come from it. Some say that aliens live here to monitor the earth, and some say that they live here. Mysterious footprints appeared on the dark side of the moon, and there are also legends that mysterious human faces appeared on the dark side of the moon. There are even more absurd claims that Chang'e's body was found on the moon. A veil of mystery.

Driven by curiosity, Yang Ming drove the Canglong to the dark side of the moon and stopped on a mare depression. There are a large number of mare basalts in this mare depression, which are rich in iron and titanium. Almost the entire mare depression was filled, coupled with the large amount of iron in the sand on the surface of the moon, it was enough to bring a lot of metal ability value to Yang Ming.

When the Canglong came to a complete stop, Yang Ming led Yang Xuan out of the airlock and looked around. Except for the moon rocks and moon soil, the land was gray, and there were no ghosts or ghosts in the legends at all. thing.

Yang Ming bent down and grabbed a handful of sand on the surface. From within the sand, he could feel the breath of metal very clearly. This breath made Yang Ming feel intoxicated.

"Go, go devour the metal here to your heart's content."

Following Yang Ming's words, the endless gold-eating ants were released by Yang Ming, and began to gnaw on the iron oxide-rich sand on the surface, digging down while constantly devouring.

"Big brother, do you feel as if something is staring at us?"

Yang Xuan, who was not far from Yang Ming, suddenly spoke. Her words really made Yang Ming jump. Yang Ming looked around. It was quiet and there was nothing there.

"My aunt, you can scare people to death, don't you know?"

Yang Ming knocked on Yang Xuan's head and said.

"But I really felt like there was something staring at us in that direction."

Yang Xuan pointed to the front right position and said.

Yang Ming looked at Yang Xuan the same way, her expression didn't seem to be nonsense, could there really be something?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming immediately released a hundred Type I Scouts, some of them went in the direction pointed by Yang Xuan, and some of them scattered around to start a large-scale investigation. Nearly a hundred guards of praying mantises were also guarded by Yang Xuan. Ming was released, and escaped into the surrounding environment to protect Yang Ming and the two of them.

After the arrangement was finished, Yang Ming finally felt more at ease. No matter how strong his strength is, people are still somewhat afraid of such unknown things. Besides, Yang Ming is not the kind of person who is particularly courageous. One sentence made the hairs stand on end.

The two walked towards the direction Yang Xuan pointed at, but they didn't find any suspicious signs after walking a long distance, and neither did the scouts and guards.

"Nothing, let's go, let's go back."

Yang Xuan looked around suspiciously, and nodded slightly, but just now she really felt as if something was peeping at them, but now this feeling has disappeared, maybe she saw that she had discovered Then went into hiding.

Returning to the place where the gold-eating ants were, Yang Ming entered his metal heart and took a look. There were still more than 2 million metal ability points. It was time to build a primary base here again.

Originally, Yang Ming thought that the primary base was the only one like Metal Heart, but later found out that it was not like that, it could build multiple ones, but when Yang Ming wanted to build a second one, he was prompted to base a planet Only one can be built.

Now that he has come to the moon, of course he built the base in the shortest time. The more bases he has, the faster he can build various things.

"Build a primary base!"

After Yang Ming finished speaking, those reminders still came to his mind.

"Scanning the environment of the planet..."

"The planet meets the base establishment standards, and the metal heart is being tested..."

"The detection of the heart of metal is completed. Do you want to consume [-] million metal ability points to build a second primary base?"

"put up!"

According to Yang Ming's words, after the value of the metal ability dropped by 24 million, the base in front of him had already started to be built. Same as last time, the construction time was [-] hours.

Until now, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Yang Ming's mouth. The base on the moon was obviously just the beginning. Yang Ming planned to go to the nine planets in the solar system after the super battleship Canglong was upgraded to the private rank and its sailing speed was greatly increased. The rest of the planets carry out the construction of primary bases.

Yang Ming thought for a while. The level of the Metal Heart has not been raised for a long time. I don't know if the level of the base is needed for this upgrade, but you will know if you try it.

"Ascend the Metal Heart."

Following Yang Ming's words, the metal ability value quickly decreased by another 1000 million, and the level of the metal heart was raised from the original level six to level seven.

The beep that must appear every time also sounded again.

"Since the Metal Heart level has been raised to level seven, the ability to summon the mechanical transforming insects has been activated."

"Since the level of the metal heart has been raised to level seven, the Scout Type I has evolved into a Scout Type II Eye of the Sky."
