611 The Power of Infrastructure Madness
On the big screen, a few spaceships were standing tall like giant whales, releasing superalloy tunneling machines that shone with cold light.
Then, the ten tunneling machines pierced into the ground from different angles and began their exploration journey.
Kaz! Kaz!
They sped underground like giant dragons. Ten tunnels extended silently and then suddenly changed directions, digging deep underground.
When people realized that their exploration depth had already reached a hundred meters, everyone was shocked.
Even on the planet where humans lived, this was a depth that very few technologies could reach.
However, Wu Mo understood that he wanted to mine for a long time on Eternal Sun.
They had to take samples at least a hundred meters deep to understand the planet’s geological structure and composition.
Therefore, a tunneling machine sent some soil samples up.
These samples were transported back to the human planet by a small return spacecraft for emergency analysis and research.
An hour later, the small spacecraft successfully landed. The Chinese researchers immediately threw themselves into intense analysis and research.
Two hours later, the basic composition of the soil sample was analyzed.
The results of the analysis showed that the soil structure below five hundred meters was extremely solid.
There was also a layer of soil on the surface that was suitable for biological growth, and its fertility was even beyond expectations.
Wu Mo immediately understood that this planet was completely suitable for them to mine and construct.
“Everyone,” he announced excitedly, “I have good news to tell you. Next, China will send out ten super large civilian spaceships to transport some basic construction materials and build a small castle!”
When this news came out, the whole world was shocked. “What? China is starting to build houses?”
“China, they are mad about infrastructure!”
The internet around the world was filled with such voices.
“They will now show us their best technology!”
A wave of sighs and sorrowful voices suddenly sounded.
“Our country is still far from building such a spaceship. How can we transport all the equipment up there?”
“Hmph, so what if you have a spaceship? Can you compare to China’s superalloy tunneling machine?”
Netizens from all over the world were terrified for their own country. They felt that they were far behind China.
As for China, in order to ensure their safety, they even sent out some dark matter spaceships to escort them in case they were suddenly attacked by an unknown civilization.
Other than that, a few countries with strong aviation capabilities also sent out large spaceships to transport mining equipment to Eternal Sun.
Then, some countries began to claim that they had developed a tool for digging tunnels that was not inferior to China’s superalloy tunneling machine.
As soon as this voice was heard, a portion of the popularity of the press conference hosted by Wu Mo was immediately attracted away.
The person in charge of that country said with certainty that their large-scale tunnel-digging equipment was independently developed by a group of genius experts in the country. It was called an unobstructed excavator.
The excavator could dig the tunnel while transporting all the waste and soil to the rear. He only needed to dispose of all the soil and waste materials at the end of the tunnel.
Its working efficiency was even higher than that of a shield tunneling machine. However, the post-processing time was greatly reduced.
“How is this possible? Could it be that their excavator was stronger than China’s superalloy tunneling machines?”
A Chinese researcher saw the statement of the country’s head and could not help but reveal a puzzled expression.
However, Wu Mo immediately sneered in disdain.
He said without hesitation, “I can tell you clearly that, at least in the current level of human technology, the superalloy tunneling machine is unmatched. No one can match it in digging tunnels!”
Wu Mo’s voice was loud and clear, filled with confidence.
This wasn’t empty talk. The high-tech technology that he had spent the equivalent of Life Second’s points to purchase from the system’s store wasn’t something that ordinary people could imagine.
To describe this superalloy tunneling machine as an infrastructure maniac was a bit childish. How could the group of so-called genius experts in that country be compared to them?
Wu Mo had already made a rough estimation. The so-called excavator was just a small modification of low-level excavation technology. It was not worth mentioning at all.
He already understood that the lifespan of that kind of excavator was extremely limited. It would probably be scrapped before it could dig about a hundred meters.
At that time, how many spaceships would they have and how many of these machines could they transport? However, he did not intend to say it out loud.
After all, he still had to consider the unity of the entire Planetary Alliance.
Subsequently, a large number of viewers were attracted to watch the live broadcast of the excavator, and the traffic of Wu Mo’s press conference was reduced by half.
“Look, the excavator is starting to move!” The audience from some countries were excited. They were looking forward to seeing the strength of the excavator developed by their own countries.
On the screen, the excavator began to dig underground. Its goal was to dig a tunnel about five hundred meters long.
With this, they could defeat China’s superalloy tunneling machines.
“Attention everyone, the excavator is about to start working!”
The representative of this country was very emotional.
Wu Mo couldn’t bear to see this representative’s proud expression, so he decided to see how the excavator performed.
He had also considered making such an excavator.
But in the end, it was completely abandoned in his plan.
The excavator began to work. The first 50 meters of digging speed was astonishing, giving many people a fright!
Even some of China’s infrastructure fans started to worry.
Would their superalloy tunneling machines be surpassed?
However, seeing that Wu Mo was still calmly hosting the press conference, their confidence was restored.
At this time, although it had been ten hours since the press conference, Wu Mo was still in high spirits and did not show the slightest sign of fatigue.
This greatly increased people’s trust in the energy serum.
During the entire press conference, the sales volume of the energy serum skyrocketed, and another two thousand bottles were sold.
Although the price of the potion was only ten thousand yuan per bottle compared to the other four great potions, it was not worth mentioning.
However, the fact that it could sell in such a large number was enough to show that it had great potential!
On the screen, when the excavator reached a depth of fifty meters, its speed slowed down significantly.
This made the person in charge of that country anxious.
“D*mn it, what’s going on?” he roared. Why did its speed become so slow? Did you cut corners when developing this excavator?”
His voice shook the research department, and the chief engineer smiled bitterly.
“No, it’s not like that. We made it strictly according to the design drawings.
“In theory, this excavator should be able to surpass the superalloy tunneling machine.”
Hearing this, the national director’s anger eased a little.
However, the digging speed of the excavator was getting slower and slower. One could almost say that it was staggering.
Ten minutes had passed, and the group from the Central Plains did not move a single step forward. At least, on the screen, it was still in the same position.
