610 The Power of the Superalloy Tunneling Machine
The mining process would definitely be full of challenges. Without technical support from Wu Mo, China and even the entire world would not be confident enough about it.
In a live stream, people watched with excitement as twenty large s.p.a.ceships slowly rose into the sky.
They carried the dreams of humankind as they headed toward Eternal Sun, which was only a billion kilometers away!
“Look! Those are s.p.a.ceships from China. They’re carrying mining equipment and basic resources in preparation to transform the other planet!”
Audience members from all over the world stared at their screens.
The huge s.p.a.ceships stirred up a sense of longing in their hearts.
Some people wondered, ‘Does this mean that our desire to migrate to outer s.p.a.ce will become a reality?’
They did not know that the interior of the twenty ships were loaded with advanced mining equipment that had been invented by Wu Mo.
This was their secret weapon. It would prove valuable on an unknown planet.
After the ship landed on Eternal Sun, Wu Mo personally hosted the global livestream conference.
The conference would last for more than twenty hours and showcase the large-scale mining facilities in great detail.
The eyes of the entire world were focused on the new planet. Everyone wanted to know what was going on.
A press conference like this was rare even in mankind’s long history.
However, the press conference would undoubtedly be a great test of Wu Mo’s physical and mental strength.
Everyone felt nervous for him, and some even began to bet on whether he could last the entire journey.
However, at this moment, the energy serum came to the forefront.
Wu Mo drank a bottle of elementary energy serum without hesitation before his global audience.
His movements were sharp and filled with confidence. After drank the serum, he would not feel tired for three days, let alone a mere twenty hours.
Right then, Wu Mo’s actions seemed to open a magical door.
On the official website, five thousand bottles of energy serum were sold in an instant. His display was hailed as one of the most sensational advertis.e.m.e.nts in the world.
However, Wu Mo did not realize that his small act had such a huge impact.
As the press conference went on, everyone stared at their screens and saw the twenty s.p.a.ceships slowly land and get to work.
They chose a flat terrain that could withstand storms and unknown particle currents.
The long-range detection satellite had surveyed the location thoroughly before the s.p.a.ceships landed. After the first s.p.a.ceship chose a spot, its hatch slowly opened.
Fully automated robots began to drive the first set of equipment for underground mining facilities.
They saw a piece of large mining equipment and learned that their working area was several dozen meters underground.
When the large mining equipment began to drill into the ground, it shocked everyone and grabbed their attention.
The large mining equipment on the s.p.a.ceship began its work.
This was the beginning of mankind’s mining journey on another planet.
“Look! It’s started digging! We still don’t know what Eternal Sun’s soil composition is!” an excited voice rang out.
“Is there a need to ask? The soil of a planet that can give birth to life must be no different from the soil on our planet!” another voice retorted.
“Don’t be so sure. I heard that there are only low-level life forms on this planet. There are no advanced life forms like us!” someone else joined the discussion.
“Sigh, if only I could personally operate that mining equipment!” someone said with envy.
Among the audience watching the live stream, many were shocked by Wu Mo’s high technology, and they deeply admired China’s technological strength.
Wu Mo then began to introduce the equipment in detail.
“What you’re seeing now is the superalloy tunneling machine. It can dig tunnels without any resistance even when it encounters hard metal at a depth of five hundred meters!”
His words surprised everyone.
Superalloy tunneling machine? The name gave everyone gooseb.u.mps.
They were no strangers to tunnel boring machines, which were commonly used in modern tunnel and submarine pipeline construction.
However, this superalloy tunneling machine shocked people like never before.
Then, they saw another surprising scene.
Controlled by the small robot, the superalloy tunneling machine began to dig crazily.
Sizzle…
There was a row of glinting blades that were densely packed at the front of the huge drill. They looked extremely sharp and intimidating.
“Look! Those blades are terrifying. Our country couldn’t have produced such blades!” Someone sighed in the livestream chat.
Only a few people knew that the blades’ metal synthesis technology had also been created by Wu Mo.
This material could not be found on their planet.
Such a solid alloy could only be found in the boundless universe.
Like the fangs of a hungry wolf, the blades crushed the soil, hard stones, and unfamiliar metals deep underground as they pushed forward without any resistance.
Then, the speed of the superalloy tunneling machine began to increase.
Kacha kacha…
It did not matter what was hidden underground; it could not stop this terrible machine.
In the blink of an eye, it dug a tunnel that was a hundred meters deep underground.
The ten-meter-wide tunnel was proof of the humans’ ability to mine the planet.
“We plan to dig about ten tunnels in this flat area,” Wu Mo continued. “Then, we will collect preliminary geological samples. Once we a.n.a.lyze the samples’ composition, we will begin building the ground facilities.”
Wu Mo’s words shook the entire world.
China’s progress was as fast as lightning. If they could not keep up, they might fall behind the times.
Therefore, while the leaders of the world were watching the live stream, they urged their research inst.i.tutions to start production according to the model of the superalloy drill and shield tunneling machine as soon as possible, and to speed up preparations for the construction of large s.p.a.ceships.
These countries had also made some achievements in the aeros.p.a.ce field.
However, compared to China, there was still a huge gap.
Now, some countries had already developed large s.p.a.ceships.
In the near future, they planned to send these ships to Eternal Sun for mining.
At this crucial moment, Eternal Sun had already been conquered by China. Every country hoped to have a place in this new land.
However, some countries were extremely anxious. They lacked sufficient technical support and could only rely on the technology of other countries.
Such dependence might cause them to be unable to achieve true progress and development for a long time.
But now, they had no time to worry about this. They only wanted to develop a large s.p.a.ceship as quickly as possible and transport the mining equipment to Eternal Sun. If they missed this critical period, they would not be able to share any benefits when the mining process stabilized.
Following Wu Mo’s deep and powerful explanation, viewers from all over the world nervously and busily recorded every detail. It was as if they could find the key to changing the future in that short meeting.
