[I went out during the day today, accompanied my wife to buy some New Year's goods, and purchased some maternal and child products by the way.

I came back late, but fortunately the update didn't exceed twelve o'clock.

There were too many people outside at the end of the year...... And maternal and baby products, things are really expensive......]

......

Chapter 372 [It's Too Expensive!]

When Chen Xiaolian's hand pressed down, a green light suddenly swept across his palm on this button, and soon, a line of text appeared on the metal screen of the main controller.

[Confirm your identity and complete the occupation of the mine.] After 48 hours of occupation, ownership is confirmed. 】

Then a countdown number appeared, and the number instantly changed from forty-eight hours to forty-seven hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds, and it continued to decrease......

The corners of Chen Xiaolian's mouth rose, and a smile appeared.

A flat map soon appeared on the metal screen, and Chen Xiaolian glanced at it and recognized that this should be the plan of the mining area.

There are a total of 8 caves in this mining area, centered on the huge hole in the middle, which are spread out in a cobwebed state, each with connecting passages, and each with railroad tracks.

In addition, there are two foreign imports and exports. One is the entrance where I came in before, and the bucket cart on the railroad tracks is used as a means of transportation. The other is the pier of the underground river.

The metal screen is very large, and it is also a touch screen, Chen Xiaolian stood in front of the metal screen, and casually clicked on a certain mine hole on the floor plan, and soon, the map jumped out, and a full range of surveillance images appeared, in the image, there were quiet mines, railroad tracks, and bucket trucks......

Chen Xiaolian confirmed. In every mining hole, there should be a monitoring device.

And on the row of buttons below, Chen Xiaolian carefully identified some things.

The functions of the buttons are as follows:

Summing up (manipulating the active and closed states of the mine).

The remaining eight buttons are used to open and close the eight mining holes. Depending on the situation, it can be decided to open a mining tunnel to work or close it temporarily.

The last button. It's the switch of the smelting furnace in the central cavern.

Chen Xiaolian was very curious about the function of this smelting furnace, to be precise, he was curious about what this C11 mine was.

Soon, Chen Xiaolian found an explanation on this general control center.

[C11 mine, also known as star stone, source: unknown.] According to the different contents, it can be smelted to produce "star crystal", also known as "star sand". Uses: Matching components of super-strength alloys. It can greatly improve the hardness and toughness of the alloy, adding 15 grams of cinnabar per kilogram of alloy steel can improve the original strength and toughness by 180-560% (according to the purity of the cinnabar, as well as the strength and toughness of the base metal materials). 】

I bought a bag last year!

Chen Xiaolian couldn't help but whistle.

Improve the hardness and toughness of existing metal materials...... And the increase is so strong against the sky?!

This star sand is a good thing!

Chen Xiaolian's eyes were hot, and his heart began to heat up.

But...... Such a magical thing would be understandable if it appeared in a dungeon.

Can...... Why is it in the real world?!

Isn't this a bug that completely disrupts the balance of the real world?!

If this thing is obtained by some government in the real world, then it will be repaid?!

It's definitely a black technology thing!!

can be followed by messages. Chen Xiaolian couldn't help but sigh.

The price of using this mining area is not low!

First of all. It costs nothing to open a mine.

But...... If you open eight of these mining holes, there will be a price!

It costs 100 points to open a mining hole every month!

Eight mining holes are fully open, requiring ...... 800 points per month!

That's 9600 points a year!!

Can these people afford it?!

And that's not all!

Mining requires the general control center to create a "mining robot".

The one-time cost of a mining robot is 100 points. You can continue to work for two years.

And each mining robot needs to spend 1 point per day to work, which is !! per day

Approximately 500 kg of ore can be collected per day.

And according to the introduction, smelting and purifying star sand, about every 100 kilograms of ore. Only 5 grams of cinnabar can be extracted!

100 kg = 5 grams!!

Each mining hole can accommodate up to 8 mining robots working at the same time.

If every robot is heavily workloaded, one robot can refine 25 grams of cinnabar per day!

Each mine has eight robots, and each mine can produce 200 grams of star sand.

The eight mines produce up to ...... per day 1600g!!

And the maximum production in a month is ...... It will not exceed 50,000 grams.

50,000 grams, it seems like a lot.

But...... The previous introduction to Xingchensha, Chen Xiaolian saw it.

For every kilogram of metal, 15 grams of cinnabar must be added to make a difference.

With 50,000 grams a month, it seems like you can synthesize a lot of metals, right? That's enough to make three tons of metal.

Get some swords, axes, armor or whatever, this kind of cold weapon equipment is enough to use.

But......

Such a super-strength alloy, if it is only used for cold weapons, is a hole in the brain!

Such a super-strength alloy, Chen Xiaolian's first reaction...... Of course, it's to get scientific and technological equipment!!

Fighters, tanks, and even ......

Mecha !!

How much alloy steel do you need for a mech?

For example, that kind of light mecha weighs about ten tons!!

Ten tons of mecha is equal to 100,000 kilograms!!It takes 150,000 grams of star sand!!

In this mining area, all eight mines are required, each mine is fully loaded with eight robots, and the heavy work is in line with the requirements, and the work is at least ...... 3 months!!

It's only enough to get one mecha, or a light mecha!!

What if it's a truly high-end product?

Chen Xiaolian is an otaku, but he knows that the main mecha in the legendary Gundam.

For example, the famous "Raid Freedom" ...... Multiple?

The weight of the fuselage is as high as more than 80 tons!!

Requires 1,200,000 grams of Cinnabar!!

The mine produces up to 50,000 grams a month.

All eight mines in the mining area are mined and refined at full capacity. It's going to take almost two years!

It's enough to use a real workhorse mecha!!

And the cost ......

The eight mines are fully open, and 9,600 points are needed a year.

The whole area can accommodate 64 mining robots, each robot has 100 points, and the cost is 6400 points!

That's 15,000 points!

Each robot needs to spend 1 point per day to maintain operation, 64 robots. 64 o'clock every day.

One year ...... Count it as 365 days.

It costs 23360 points!!

23,360 points plus 15,000 points......

Nima!

It costs more than 38,000 points in a year!!

Thirty-eight thousand!!

How many points does Chen Xiaolian's belongings have?!

How many points can I earn per dungeon?!

I want to equip a real mecha with Starsand, like the real big guy in Roddy's hand......

It's going to take two years!

Two years!!

The cost alone in two years is more than 70,000 points, almost 80,000 points!!

Such a calculation made Chen Xiaolian suddenly break out in a cold sweat!

Shocking, shocking!!

Chen Xiaolian suddenly understood in his heart!

This mining area is really not something that ordinary awakened people can play!

No, ordinary individual awakened people are not even qualified to watch it!

The ordinary team of the Awakened can only look up.

Only super big teams...... For example, a group of the resident team of Zero City is qualified to afford such a mining area!!

"It's too expensive! It's too expensive! It's not ordinary! It's so expensive!"

Chen Xiaolian cursed fiercely and complained fiercely. The eyes were red.

Stuff is definitely good.

It is conceivable that if a tech-friendly guy like Luo Di can equip his mecha with something like Sex Star Sand, how much can his combat effectiveness be improved?!

It's scary to think about!!

This is not just an increase in the armor defense strength of the mecha, but an all-round improvement!

For example, if the engine and other devices in the core are improved, how much power and power can be increased if the material is improved?!

How much can the improvement of defensive armor improve the combat effectiveness of the mech?

"It's too expensive......" Chen Xiaolian hugged his head and sighed.

Una standing at the door. I saw that Chen Xiaolian's mood suddenly rose, and then he quickly fell down. Holding your head and muttering to yourself is like schizophrenia. The black woman's face also became strange.

After a while, Chen Xiaolian sighed.

"That's it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, in short, since it is in my hands, it can't be missed in vain!"

He clenched his fists viciously!

Glancing at the countdown to capture time. There are 47 hours left.

Chen Xiaolian thought about it carefully: "Rest first and nourish your spirit...... I don't know what will happen in the next two days. ”

Saying that, Chen Xiaolian didn't shy away from Una, so he directly took out some food and found a clean place to sit down. Start eating and drinking.

He didn't treat Una badly, and after giving her some food and water, he summoned Garfield by his side.

Then Chen Xiaolian simply found a spacious place, actually took out a marching bed from the storage watch to open it, and lay on it and began to sleep.

He needs to be mentally refreshed.

God knows who the system will come up with to fight for this mine.

Chen Xiaolian was muttering to himself even in his sleep.

"It's too expensive......"

......

Una was full of food and drink, but she didn't dare to move, and there were three four-eyed war cats eyeing her.

Looking at the three beasts, Una stood up cautiously.

She found that as long as her range did not exceed the scope of the cave, the three monsters ignored her, and as soon as she appeared to be able to go far, such as to the edge of a certain hole, one of them would immediately turn her head to stare at her, and let out a threatening roar of "woo".

Una was helpless in her heart, and cursed Chen Xiaolian fiercely in her heart, but she had to sit down and wait patiently.

Chen Xiaolian slept for nearly twenty hours this night!

He had barely slept for three days, and this sleep had finally made up for all the energy he had owed.

After waking up, Chen Xiaolian stretched hard, picked up his mobile phone as soon as possible, and dialed Old Man Qiao's number.

Still, the other party's phone is turned off.

Chen Xiaolian sneered and put away his phone.

Old man Qiao, there must be a deep connection to this matter!

But now the mine is in their own hands...... I'm not afraid that he won't come to himself!

He must know about this mining area!

When he stood up, Chen Xiaolian felt that his whole body was full of energy, and looking at the surrounding mines, his heart was even hotter.

There are about 26 hours left.

According to the system, once the occupation time has accumulated for 48 hours, then even if the mine is truly owned by oneself, the tenure is one year, during which time no one else can fight for it.

Chen Xiaolian got up, walked back and forth in the mine, and finally returned to the main control room.

Suddenly, a few points of light appeared on the flat map of the main control room.

It is the direction of the entrance.

Two red dots of light appeared at the entrance!

Chen Xiaolian's heart moved, and sure enough, a prompt appeared on the metal screen.

[Outsiders enter the mining area, identity unknown.] 】

Chen Xiaolian's heart moved, and he clicked on the map at the entrance, and soon the surveillance screen appeared.

Next to the rail bucket car at the entrance, two guys stand.

One is tall and thin, and the other is of medium stature.

Chen Xiaolian saw the tall and thin guy among them, and under the windbreaker, he could see that there was a protective suit, and he determined the identity of the other party!

It's not a player, it's an Awoken.

Considering that here is not a copy, but the real world, then the latter is more likely.

Chen Xiaolian hopes to be an Awakened Person, not a player.

Because if a player appears in the real world, then the other party is definitely a high-level player like Miao Yan!

Most of those guys can't deal with themselves.

"Sure enough...... Someone is fighting for it......" Chen Xiaolian snorted.

...... (To be continued.) )
