"The next step…is to repair the scanning detector first, then the storage compartment!”
Zhang Heng tried to figure out the sequence of repairing the mining ship in his mind, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became."It seems that the processing cabin is also very important, even more important than the first two.”
"If you can't process and refine the metal material that suits your requirements, how can you repair it?”
"After all, it's an extraterrestrial mining ship!”
The more Zhang Heng thought about it, the more his head hurt. A huge mining ship involved all kinds of materials, and it was also a huge system project. He really couldn't figure it out."Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time!"
Two and a half hours of high-speed sailing!
Arriving at the first target sea area.
There was nothing much to say. They directly mined. 800 tons of iron ore was collected in less than three seconds. Then, they set sail again and headed for the second target sea area.
It was within the territorial waters of Japan. It belonged to Japan, but it wasn't the territorial waters of Japan. It was the territorial waters of the islands belonging to Japan.
"To be honest, this sea area didn't belong to Japan during the Ming Dynasty!”
Zhang Heng let out a long sigh. History was history after all. Now that it had been taken over by someone else, there was nothing he could do."Just you wait, we'll soon reach the main island of Japan.”
200 tons of coal mining!
"Refining!"
Zhang Heng wanted to maximize his work efficiency, so he decisively gave another order.""Repair the hull with processed carbon steel and mine another 200 tons of coal!”
"Understood!"
"Let's return to the iron ore area after mining!”Zhang Heng added after some thought.
"Yes, Captain!"
The two Kuangqu were more than a hundred nautical miles apart, and it would take them nearly half an hour to travel back and forth. After processing and refining here, they would take the coal mine to mine iron ores for processing and refining.
Another 800 tons of iron ore were mined and returned to the coal mine area to be processed and refined.
In this way, he would be able to maximize his work efficiency.
After three trips, 1290 tons of carbon steel was extracted, and the initial repair of the hull was completed.
"Captain, the initial repairs to the hull have been completed. We can now increase the speed to 300 knots. As long as the voyage does not exceed an hour, it will not be affected!”
The smart program reminded him.
"Alright, mine 200 tons of coal before we return to the iron mine!”
Zhang Heng was satisfied. It took him a lot of time to go back and forth, but he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly changed his order."No, this time, we will mine 400 tons of coal!”
"Captain, you want to mine and refine the iron ore at the same time?”The smart program was still very human-like and intelligent.
"Yes. The storage cabin only has a maximum capacity of 1000 tons. Naturally, we have to fill it up as much as possible during the return trip.”
Zhang Heng smiled. The processing cabin would take up the mining ship's power if it was running, and it would not be able to operate at full speed, which would reduce the efficiency of the mining ship. However, if the ship was stopped and the processing cabin was fully powered, the speed would be much faster."I didn't have much experience before. I don't want to bring back only 430 tons of carbon steel this time.”
"Understood. When we arrive at the iron mine area, we will mine and refine at the same time!”
"Not bad!"
Zhang Heng didn't know whether to answer or praise the program, but he said slowly,""This time, I want to bring back 860 tons of carbon steel.”
"Captain, after calculation, it can reach 910 tons!”
The smart program raised a virtual screen, and lines of formulas were displayed. Then, it said,"We only need to mine about 425 tons of coal.”
"Oh…"
Zhang Heng was taken aback. He had miscalculated and only paid attention to the big numbers, ignoring the small details."Then mine 425 tons of coal!”
" New orders updated!"
……
……
In fact, it could be even more. As long as the calculations were accurate, it might be impossible to fill the cabin with 1000 tons of carbon steel, but it would not be a problem to reach 980 tons of carbon steel. After all, the storage cabin was also needed during mining.
If he didn't reserve a certain amount of storage space, he would lose a lot.
The AI program naturally understood that, but it was more concerned with understanding Zhang Heng's next move.
It was because Zhang Heng had used the mining starship to search for information about sunken ships in the South China Sea.
Based on this, the intelligent program seemed to know that the captain wanted to salvage the sunken ship, so it gave a figure of 910 tons, allowing the storage cabin to retain 90 tons of space.
Intelligent, extremely intelligent!
"Compared to the current level of intelligence on Earth, it's lacking…"
Zhang Heng smiled bitterly in his heart. He was able to guess the intention of the ship just by looking for information about it. It was no ordinary AI, but he did not mind since the entire mining ship was his anyway."It's really not just a little bit!"
Wait!
All that was left was to wait quietly.
They were waiting for the iron ore to be mined and refined.
Several hours later!
910 tons of carbon steel lay quietly in the storage cabin.
The mining ship set sail again. The difference was that this time, it took a big detour.
