Chapter 111: The Eve Star Project
"Mr. Phillips, I don't understand a little, what is the use of the Resource Acquisition Office to acquire these materials, can they be shipped back to Earth?" Ye Bei asked puzzled.
"With current technology, each spacecraft can only bring back a kilogram of something. “
"What's the use of buying it if you don't bring it back to Earth?"
"Mr. Kill, do you really not understand or do you not understand?" Phillips began to read illiteracy, "After each country's spaceship lands on Eve, it will choose a safe place as its own construction base, and there are several junior mechs in the base, these junior mechs go out to collect materials and energy and send them back to the base, and the base can use these things to build more mechas, so as to strengthen itself." And the members of the team are to remotely control these mecha to explore more materials and resources, and repeatedly, when the base is built like the earth, the earthlings with good conditions will eventually immigrate to the Eve star, this is the Eve project. “
"This ......" Ye Bei was also a little shocked, this kind of plan to immigrate to an alien planet has only been seen in movies, but I didn't expect that now society has begun to be in full swing.
Phillips continued: "As there are more and more mechas, the Protector Clan can't control it, they will sell the control of those backward and eliminated mecha to rich merchants, and the rich businessmen can do some miscellaneous work after getting these backward mechas, or do business and trade and the like, the bank on Eve Star is a branch of the Bank of Earth, and all the money earned can be transferred to the earth for use, after all, money is just a string of numbers." “
"I see, for rich businessmen, it's just a money-making game. “
"Yes, you are one of the rich merchants. “
"Me?" Ye Bei waved his hand, "I'm ordinary, I pick up garbage." “
"Let's go, I'll take you to make money. Phillips waved his hand, and the mech's pace began to kick in.
Phillips' mech is much more powerful than the Scavenger, not only is it more agile, but it is also tougher, and it is a rudimentary combat mech.
Phillips turned on the communication system, pulled Ye Bei into the group chat, and called twice, "Charlie, Kidd, where are you?"
"Phillips, you're finally online. A teenager's voice came from the communication system.
"Come, come, we're in Canyon 9, it's full of white germanium ore!" another shouted.
"Okay, I'll be right here. Phillips replied excitedly, "White germanium ore!"
"Kill it, click on the map in the top left and head to Canyon 9. Xiao Lang said.
"Oh!" Ye Bei clicked on the map in the upper left according to Phillips's instructions.
The map is pitch black all around, except for a small irregular spot in the middle that is illuminated, and the dark place is an unexplored area.
"No. 9 Canyon!" Ye Bei found this place at once, because there were not a few place names marked on the map, and the words of this No. 9 Canyon were particularly large, and the surrounding green was extremely conspicuous.
"Kill it, go ahead, Canyon 9 is the safest area, surrounded by our Citigroup mechs. “
"Okay. Ye Bei moved his armor and quickly ran towards the No. 9 Canyon.
Looking back, the "White House" behind it is gradually getting smaller.
Step out and follow the map route until you reach Canyon 9.
Canyon No. 9 is lined with pale red cliffs, about more than 100 meters high, towering on both sides, and the middle seems to be cut by the queen mother's jade hairpin, but there is no half of the water source, only stones of different sizes.
There are many powerful mechs guarding the two ends of the canyon, as if they are defending something.
Dozens of mechs rummage through rocks with their mechanical arms, like children looking for earthworms.
"Phillips, I'm here. A yellow mech waved at Phillips.
"Charlie, how was the harvest today?"
Charlie said excitedly: "In an hour, I will pick up fifty or sixty pieces of white germanium ore and make a fortune!"
"How can there be so many. “
"The Lakers blasted a little bit here, they took the vein, and the rest was all ours. Charlie said happily.
"Charlie is kidding, your dad is the richest man in our state, and he can look up to such a small amount of money?" Phillips laughed.
"I'm not kidding you, these white germanium ores are very large, one can be sold for at least 10,000 US dollars, and some are priced at 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.
"Okay. “
The so-called white germanium ore is an ore with a little silver-gray, like aluminum, about the size of a fist, but it weighs dozens of kilograms.
"This kind of thing is one of the most important materials for making mechas, and it is also the basic material that is currently in the most demanded in the bases of various countries, and the bases of various countries are buying them at high prices. Phillips continued to illiteracy Yebei.
Ye Bei used fire tongs to pick up a few stones, and after a while, he found a fist-sized piece of white germanium ore.
"Awesome, damn it, I didn't expect you to get used to this mecha so quickly!" Phillips exclaimed in surprise, knowing that operating a mecha was not a simple task, it took Phillips three months to get used to the first mecha at that time, and it took nearly half a year to clamp things with fire tongs.
What Ye Bei picked up was also with relish, a piece of 10,000 US dollars, and it was really hard to transfer it to the earth.
In less than half an hour, Ye Bei picked up more than 50 pieces of white germanium ore, and although he was sweating profusely, he was in a very happy mood.
"Die, you can do it!" Phillips gave a thumbs up.
Ye Bei pushed away a big stone vigorously, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a piece of white germanium ore the size of a durian appeared in front of him shiningly.
"Wow, good fellow, worth at least $300,000!" Phillips dropped.
Ye Bei was also very happy, and when he probed the tongs, he was about to clamp the 300,000 US dollars, when suddenly a pair of gold tongs came over horizontally, and he clamped the white germanium stone mine at once.
Ye Bei did not show weakness, and a pair of tongs clamped on his golden tongs.
The golden tong was beaten, and he could not move for half a minute.
"Scavengers, do you want to fight?" asked the master of the golden tongs.
Ye Bei looked up and saw that this was a majestic golden mecha, which was twice as tall as himself, and it was heroic.
In Eve, fighting is legal, and there will be no punishment as long as you don't attack the clan, which is also to adapt to the natural law of survival of the strong here.
The golden mech looked at the scavenger contemptuously, as if to say, "What can you do with me." “
"Kill it, forget it. Charlie persuaded, "Let it be given to him, if the mecha is damaged, the repair cost will be as few million as a few million, or as much as tens of millions, and it will not be worth it." “
"Kill it, give it to him. Phillips also advised, he knew very well that if the mech was completely scrapped, he would have to spend money to buy it again.
