Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 16

Chapter 16, I’ll take my life

Alloy plastic steel is the most basic and widely used multifunctional material in the entire imperial civilization. It can be used in construction, manufacturing machinery and weapons, and can also be used to repair and strengthen facilities and vehicles. Its high strength and corrosion resistance allow it to be used in extremely harsh environments and meet the needs of working in a variety of completely different environments.

This is especially important on the harsh environment of the Angry Owl Star.

As far as Gu Hang knows, the Angry Owl Star does not have the technical ability to mass-produce alloy plastic steel. The entire planet is still using relatively basic and primitive ordinary steel.

In contrast, the performance of alloy plastic steel is much superior.

Obviously, if the ability to mass-produce alloy plastic steel is mastered, the Waste Cave Society will make huge profits.

The scarcity and widespread demand for alloy plastic steel make its price high. Gu Hang, who owns the black box, can reduce the production cost very low – even more than other manufacturers specializing in this industry on other planets.

In fact, alloy plastic steel brings more than just profit.

But if it is mass-produced, Gu Hang is worried that the ore output of the Waste Cave Society may not be enough.

The Feidong Society does not have enough manpower, and Gu Hang has not obtained the equipment for mining ore. The key is that the quality of the Feidong ore vein itself is average…

It is enough for now, but seeing that more and more smelting furnaces are built by Black Box, there will definitely be a gap in the future.

However, by that time, there should be a stable output. Don’t worry about finding a market, there is no worry about selling; large-scale import of raw materials is also possible. In the future, the pillar industry of the Feidong Society will definitely change from resource mining to metal smelting.

“This batch of parts that have been produced should be enough to assemble a smelting furnace. Transport it to the Feidong Society, and production can start.”

…

Patel never doubted that the governor would keep his promise.

If he said he would build a production line for them, he would definitely build it.

But he never dreamed that it would come so quickly.

He saw a group of slaves from the governor’s camp escorted by the mechanical servants – it should be said that the workers – used carts to deliver all the production parts.

Patel, who had received the news in advance, took the young and middle-aged people of the Feidong Society to help unload the goods.

The manual has been prepared, and a technician from the Governor’s camp will guide them on how to assemble the smelting furnace.

At first, Patel was worried that he and his illiterate men would not understand the process. But in practice, he found that the process was much simpler than he had imagined.

There were words in the manual, but more of them were various schematic diagrams, which were not difficult to understand.

They first installed the furnace body vertically and then carefully aligned the various joints. Then, they used fasteners to firmly fix the various parts of the furnace body together to ensure the firmness and stability of the furnace body. Next

, it was the furnace cover, observation window, exhaust pipe…

Finally, he installed the furnace door by himself.

The whole assembly process was very simple, but very rigorous. Just follow the steps step by step, but you need to be careful to ensure that every detail has been repeatedly checked and confirmed.

The installation work took them half a day.

They placed the energy crystal blocks sent with the transport team into the energy module of the smelting furnace and started the heating system.

The whole furnace body gradually became hot and the temperature continued to rise.

A batch of ore that had been prepared was sent into it.

The workers of Feidong Society were soon sweating in the heat, but they still stuck to their jobs until the alloy plastic steel smelting furnace finally started to operate, making a roaring sound.

A few hours later, it was dark.

The produced alloy metal liquid cooled in the mold and became metal ingots, which were neatly stacked.

Patel didn’t know that the quality of the alloy plastic steel he produced was much worse than the top-quality plastic steel produced by the black box in the Governor’s camp.

But even if they knew, it didn’t matter.

As long as it was qualified plastic steel, it would be fine. This was already a very good industrial product on the Angry Owl Star.

Old Butch, who was originally supervising the construction of the ground camp of the Abandoned Cave Society, couldn’t help but run to see the finished product.

The two leaders of the Abandoned Cave Society looked at this batch of alloy plastic steel ingots and grinned together.

A huge sense of satisfaction filled their hearts.

No one could experience the power of industry more personally than them.

From today on, the Abandoned Cave Society is no longer the place that can only rely on manual digging of poor-quality ore and selling it at a low price in exchange for food that can’t even feed itself. They have industrial capabilities, they can directly produce alloy plastic steel, and can sell it at a higher price.

They will no longer endure hunger and cold, and they will live a good life as the Governor said, as long as they are hardworking and willing to work hard.

Old Butch sighed, “Even if the Governor wants to kill us, I will accept it.”

Patel smiled and patted his uncle’s shoulder: “The Governor will not kill us. The Governor hopes that we will get better and better!”

…

Soon, the second smelting furnace was also delivered to Feidong Society.

The production capacity of alloy plastic steel has been further strengthened.

But the problem that Gu Hang was worried about before did happen – just two smelting furnaces have almost eaten up all the ore produced by Feidong Society.

To continue to expand production capacity, more raw materials must be obtained.

At the same time, energy is also a problem.

The smelting furnace uses energy crystal blocks, which is also a kind of black technology under the empire’s system.

According to Gu Hang’s understanding, this is essentially a battery – of course, it is much more powerful than the battery in his impression.

High-density energy is bound and condensed in solid crystals, and energy can be released safely when necessary. This kind of energy crystal block can be directly mined on some worlds; and more, some planets with developed energy industries use various power generation methods and special processes to compress energy and directly produce energy crystal blocks.

There is no doubt that the Angry Owl Star itself does not have this kind of production capacity. What Gu Hang is using now is still the wool he got from the Quintet.

But he can’t keep getting more.

But there is good news.

First, the energy crystals Gu Hang has on hand are enough.

Second, in addition to using energy crystals, the smelting furnace can also be connected to electricity.

Gu Hang still has time to build the power supply of the territory.

This is also a headache. I won’t think too much about the high-tech means. The primitive means of power generation is essentially boiling water, but there must be fuel to burn.

“Fuel… raw materials… garbage town?”

Gu Hang muttered to himself.

The garbage town he mentioned refers to a gathering place of survivors one hundred kilometers north of Feidong Society. There, there is the output that Gu Hang needs.
