Chapter 16 Repairing The Temporary Replacement Of Storage Space

"Captain...it's very troublesome to store crude oil!""..."Zhang Heng was stunned, lost his mind on the spot, and hit himself hard on the forehead: "Hiss...Okay, I'm obsessed with it. I only know the benefits of oil and forget to store it."There is no place to store it, so it can only be placed in the storage space of the mining ship, which is completely taking up space.It is possible to use the mining ship to process and refine it, and then rent a storage tank, but this will expose it to a wider field of vision, which is harmful and not beneficial."Change the route and go to the East China Sea!"Zhang Heng had to accept his fate. Oil could not be mined, but metal mines such as copper, manganese and zinc could always be mined and processed: "Anyway, it will be soon. At most, we will start construction first. Anyway, it's all wasteland. It will take shape in one month at the fastest."There is no real land acquisition procedure, but it should not be a big problem. He found a small pier near the sea and built a crude oil storage tank first, which is not a big problem.In an instant, he had decided to contact the construction company to start construction early tomorrow morning.Don't be so particular!300 knots, taking off quickly, if it weren't for the stealth, passing ships and satellites in space would definitely be able to capture a black shadow running around on the sea."Intelligent No. 1... continue mining operations as usual!"Zhang Heng knew that he didn't need to issue any more orders, and Intelligent No. 1 would be able to control it, but he still wanted to show his presence and just talked about something else: "Are metals such as copper, manganese, zinc, and aluminum helpful for repair?""It's quite helpful, and copper and zinc are quite helpful!"Intelligent No. 1 quickly replied that repairing the mining ship was an order embedded in the deep code.In addition to the captain's order, repair would be the second priority: "Copper and zinc, as well as iron, plus some rare earths, can be processed into key materials for the hull, power system, etc.""What about the storage space?" Zhang Heng was very concerned about the repair of the storage space."The repair of the storage space is very troublesome, and special materials are used!"Although Smart No. 1 knew that the captain knew a lot about materials, that was only knowledge on Earth.When it came to their alien technological civilization, it was beyond cognition: "It is very troublesome to process and refine this special material." "With the current degree of damage to the processing cabin, it is temporarily impossible to do it unless it is repaired to a certain extent."Smart No. 1 added. "Is there no temporary substitute?"Zhang Heng still did not give up, and immediately said: "Just like repairing the hull shell, temporary repair, even if it is to expand the space by 100 tons."It's all money.With an extra 100 tons, you can go out to sea and bring more carbon steel back on the return trip.An extra 1.3 million is not a small amount. "Captain, please wait a moment, and analyze and calculate immediately!"Smart No. 1 probably ignored it.After all, the mining ship was seriously damaged, and the intelligent program lost a lot of data.Zhang Heng was silent and waited patiently! About a minute. "Captain, find an alternative solution and process it into super-quality titanium alloy for repair!"Intelligent No. 1 seemed a little embarrassed and paused before saying: "But to achieve a certain level of repair, a large amount of titanium alloy will be needed, of which super-quality titanium alloy must reach more than 90%.""And it requires more than 5,000 tons of titanium ore, as well as other types of metals and rare earths, etc. The titanium ore alone, according to the market price, is more than 400 million.""The total value of the other types of metals and rare earths, etc. will exceed 800 million, and this... After the repair, it is expected that only 100 tons to 300 tons of storage space will be added."Intelligent No. 1 told the truth.Spend 800 million and get an extra 100 to 300 tons of space!It is possible that only 100 tons will be added, and it will cost 800 million. Is it worth it?"Make a list, search for related companies, and send an order!"Zhang Heng gave the order without hesitation. He felt that whether it was 100 tons or 300 tons, it was worth it no matter how much it cost. When he mentioned titanium alloy, the things he had temporarily forgotten came to his mind again: "Wait, you say..."...
