In less than half a day, the preparations for departure have been completed.

The meteorite team originally had a small business, but after receiving a batch of assistance from the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, especially the materials given by the fat man, they now have a lot of money on hand.

With the exception of the most valuable Tidal Fighters, which integrate both carrying and combat, all of their individual combat equipment has been replaced with energy weapons.

There are also four sentinel mechas, but according to the standards of the resident team in Zero City, they are equipped with a full range of weapons and defense systems, in addition to the built-in AI that can conduct automatic battles, and if necessary, they can also be controlled by Luo Di with the mechanical heart skill, becoming a semi-manual mode.

Plus two Thunderstorm Chariots and a set of A-level protective clothing for everyone...... The sum of these bits and pieces is enough to make the Meteorite team a first-class strength among all the Awakened teams.

Of course, compared to the resident teams of Zero City in the past, it is still not enough to see. But now, even City Zero has been destroyed, and the remnants of those permanent teams have long since disappeared, and they don't know where to hide. It's just that I don't know if this time the copy will be forced to participate.

In addition to the existing equipment, Xia Xiaolei also used all the remaining points of the team to purchase a large number of ammo and healing items. Considering that this copy is likely to be an ancient time and space, and it lasts for a long time, there is also enough food and water for the team's monthly share of food and water, which are stored in Chen Xiaolian's storage space.

"But now there's another problem, and that's the stellar sand. After Xia Xiaolei finished reporting on the existing equipment, Luo Di added with a worried face: "The original promise of Daoshan Huohai was to use three times the mining cost to buy our Xingchensha, but now, Zero City has been destroyed, and although there may still be remnants of Daoshan Huohai's team, it is impossible to restore to its original grandeur. There is no hope for them to buy these star sand minerals according to the original conditions. What's more, we can't even build with them now.

At the beginning, you brought 10,000 points to make the Xingchen Sand Mining Area run at full capacity, but I think I'm afraid that there won't be any follow-up points. So, what about this mine?"

Chen Xiaolian frowned.

After the destruction of City Zero, he was busy all the way to Romania and later to the end of the world, but he didn't bother to think about these things.

The situation is indeed a bit of a headache now.

It's like a factory that gets the investment of a big buyer, builds a good production line, signs a proper purchase and sale agreement, and after everything is running, the big buyer suddenly goes out of business!

However, the products produced by this factory cannot be sold in the market.

Keep mining? But then you can mine for one more day than for the previous day. What Qiao Yifeng said at the time was not a lie, with the size of the meteorite team, there was not so much star sand at all, and the points of the white flower flower were put into the mining area, in exchange for a large amount of star sand, they could only be thrown over there.

Stop mining, but when Zero City issued the mission, the mining area was only used for one year, and now Zero City has been destroyed. At the end of the year, the mine may disappear or become unusable by any team. It was a waste to get ownership of the mine, and it would be a waste to just leave it there and not use it.

Of course, Chen Xiaolian is not sure what kind of mechanism the mining mission issued by Zero City is, and what will happen after Zero City is destroyed. It is also possible that the mine will be occupied by meteorite warbands forever. However, Chen Xiaolian doesn't dare to look forward to this kind of good thing now.

What's more, the mining input of Xingchensha is not evenly consumed!

When the man in black transferred money to Chen Xiaolian, he said that the money could support the operation of the mining area for about three months, and Chen Xiaolian did not calculate it carefully. But when he actually got the mine up and running, he realized that it wasn't enough!

Each of the eight mines pays 100 credits per month, which is paid in a lump sum. Before the end of the month, even if the mine is closed, the points will not be returned.

There are also mining robots, which require 100 points per unit for the initial purchase, in addition to the mining input of one point per day.

got the points transferred by Qiao Yifeng, and after coming back, Chen Xiaolian directly bought the number of robots. Eight mines, each with eight robots, is 6,400 points spent.

In addition, in the past ten days of mining, the daily mining expenses have gone down to 8,000 points. At this rate, in less than a month, the 10,000 points will be spent cleanly.

Chen Xiaolian calculated the speed of spending money at that time, and originally planned to contact the people in Zero City again to ask for another working capital. But so many things came up in one go, but they were so delayed that they forgot about it.

"That's it......" Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "Let it continue to rotate like this first, don't slow down." There are about 2,000 points left of that 10,000 points, enough to support it at full speed until the end of the first month. Stopping the robot is just saving a few tens of points a day, but the cost of loss is too great. ”

"Understood. Roddy nodded: "And what about after the first month?"

"There are still more than ten days, and the first month is over. If you still can't find a source of funding by then, close the other seven mines and leave only one. Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth: "Although Xingchensha is a good thing, it is indeed not something that we can afford now." But ......"

He looked at Luo Di: "How many Star Sands do we have accumulated on hand now?"

"Until now, it has only taken half a month to open the mine, which is less than thirty kilograms...... Roddy's eyes lit up suddenly: "What?!, you want to use my mecha?!"

"Stop dreaming. Chen Xiaolian rolled his eyes: "The time you can control the mecha in 24 hours is only 18 seconds, under such a time limit, no matter how much you strengthen it, you won't get much improvement, it's a pure waste." ”

"Damn, rejoice in the air. Roddy hung his head.

"But-" Chen Xiaolian changed his words: "Just because it can't be used to strengthen your mecha doesn't mean it can't be used by you." Don't we still have four Sentinel Mechs?"

"That's it...... It's not bad, but ......" Hearing this, Luo Di recovered a little: "Thirty kilograms of star sand, at most, is only enough to partially strengthen the armor system of the four mechas." ”

"When did I say that I was going to strengthen the four?" Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Although these sentinel mechs are very high, they can't become our main equipment in the future, after all, they are just a temporary excess." What's more, we spent so many points to save such a little star sand, we can't just waste it. If you are given ten kilograms, if you use it on a mech, it should be enough to improve its armor performance by a large margin. This armor is for you to use as your current regular equipment. ”

"That's it, what about the rest?" Roddy pouted.

"This dungeon is so big, before officially entering the dungeon, the surrounding area must be very lively. When the time comes, we will reach out to the neighborhood to see if we can find a buyer. If it's only 20 kilograms, you might be able to find a team that can eat it. Chen Xiaolian looked at Luo Di: "By the way, what valuable content have you seen on the Internet?"

"I flipped through the secret forums between several awakened people, and the forums were basically fried. Luo Di smiled: "Everyone basically thinks that this copy is more difficult than imagined, and someone has already proposed that you should contact it before the copy starts. ”

After speaking, Luo Di took out his phone and opened a page: "It's this guy." ”

Chen Xiaolian took the mobile phone and looked at it, the sender of this message was a random digital ID, wrote a lot of his own analysis of this dungeon, and finally said that he and his team would arrive at the mission area two days before the start of the dungeon, and if there were team or individual participants who wanted to share intelligence and work together to formulate a battle plan, they could contact him.

However, Chen Xiaolian flipped through the replies below, but no one contacted him directly.

"Even if you want to contact, you will use private messages, and it is generally unlikely to reply to the post. Roddy explained, "So, do we need to touch it?"

"Of course. After taking care of the affairs of the family, we set off. Chen Xiaolian nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what about the child I sent back from the end of the world?"

Tire patted his head apologetically: "What did you say? I forgot to tell you, I live in the resort." You didn't come back, and we didn't know how to place him, so we just asked about the basics. His name is Wang Duo, ten years old, fourth grade of primary school, and his home is in Xijing......"

"Then send it back. Chen Xiaolian nodded: "At this age, the home address and the names of the parents should already be remembered." Anyway, the speed of the Tidal Fighter is very fast, we can send him to Xijing first, and then to the dungeon area. ”

The tire hesitated for a moment and whispered: "-The child is very smart and knows that he has died once, and he was hit by a car while crossing the road. Send him back, his parents ......"

Chen Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, reacted, and said with a wry smile: "There have been too many things that have happened recently, and I have drilled into my head one by one, making me stupid." So, he's already a black one?"

"Yes. Tire looked at Chen Xiaolian: "These days, Qi Muxi has taken care of him, waiting for you to come back to make arrangements." Now it seems that we are afraid that we will have to ...... Adopted him. ”

"I'm afraid that's all there is to it. Chen Xiaolian sighed and said to Luo Di: "Only you can do this." Can you arrange an identity and student status for Duoduo?"

"No problem. Roddy nodded and walked towards the door: "I'll make a call." ”

After a while, Roddy pushed the door in again, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's already arranged." ”

"So fast?!" Chen Xiaolian was surprised.

Luo Di smiled: "It's not so fast, it's just to explain first." We're going to leave for the dungeon later, so we can't just wait here until it's all done. I asked the old man to find a friend, and I went to apply for the identity first, and I guess when we come back, the school registration will be almost complete. ”
