Chapter 133: The Underground World Inside Leviathan's Corpse (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"You're saying that the reactive metal deposit is in the original Sharyan tribe? And already digging in? ”
Bei Sheng, the head of the Dragonlance Knights' base in New Otlanta, looked at the reconnaissance report submitted by his subordinates, pinched his chin and pondered for a while, pressed the button on the side of the desk, and said in a deep voice:
"Call a few captains of the elite regiment to come over."
Then he said to his subordinates:
"Don't go yet."
Not long after, four tall men in camouflage uniforms walked in and lined up at their desks, all four of them were players, and Bei Sheng said to the four:
"The reconnaissance team has detected specific information, and now I give you a task, bypassing the military base called Fang Ning from the other direction and entering the Wild Plateau, you have only one task, that is, to sabotage them to mine active metal ores."
The first big man with blue camouflage on his face asked:
"Are there any special requirements?"
"No, as long as it can be destroyed."
"Including the destruction of the mines?"
"Yes, if you can't do it, you can destroy the mine, or just blow up the mine."
At this time, the third big man asked:
"As far as I know, they have two large warships moored over the mine, and we will probably have to pay a huge price to complete the mission."
"Even at any cost!"
Bei Sheng clicked a few times in front of the light brain on the desk, and a light curtain popped open, on which was the information about the active metal mine, he pointed to the information and said with a serious face:
"Do you know how much this thing can sell for a unit? Ten million stars, almost a cruiser. ”
The mouths of the four big men opened slightly involuntarily, leaned forward to look at them, and asked in an incredulous tone:
"That's what this thing is worth?"
"Why do you think the regiment is so fanfare about the landing of ground troops of a division? Drills? ”
"Ahem!"
Several people looked embarrassed.
"Go ahead, no matter what the cost is, besides, there may be teams from other legions at that time, you don't have a dispute with them, if you can work together, you can do it together."
"Yes!"
Such a situation is staged in different bases, the Dragon Lance Knights can send reconnaissance teams, and other legions and guilds will naturally send them, plus the boss of the Shenwu Studio has suffered heavy losses this time, and in order to recover the losses, he sells the information he knows everywhere, which makes this matter uproar among the players of the new star field, and even the lord's mansion is alarmed, and the space station of the New Atlanta galaxy has specially issued a reconnaissance mission.
Fortunately, the Lord's Mansion has already clearly abandoned the development of New Otlanta, and the reconnaissance is only to determine the authenticity and will not compete with the player.
After all, no matter who grabs the mine, they must pay a large tax, and the reactive metal, which is a strategic-level ultra-rare mineral, will not only be directly purchased by the lord's mansion, but will also be charged a heavy tax of twenty percent, which means that no matter who mines on the planet, the lord's mansion will collect twenty percent of the money earned.
In fact, not only on this planet, even if the player goes to mine ore in a star field far away from the lord country or empire, they have to pay taxes when they are shipped back for sale, but the tax rate is not so high.
In the game, no one can evade taxes except for internal transactions between players, even if they go to the black market or trade directly with pirates, they will be taken by the local forces, but the commission is different.
When many elite special operations teams of the legion were making a detour to the original Chalian mining area, Fang Ning had already led the team down to the mine, and had already crossed the area studied by the previous scientific research team and walked towards the deepest part of the mining area.
With the last exploration team in front of him, it was a long way to open the way, and it took him two full hours to catch up with the exploration team, and the two teams converged.
Although Fang Ning was covered with a layer of mixed energy shield and had the ability to fly, he still wore a layer of exoskeleton armor and sat in a small military shuttle.
This is a shuttle-like flying machine that is only four meters long, has the ability to fly inside the planet, and cannot fly out of the atmosphere, and its military quality makes its defense very high, with a total of three layers of defense of mixed energy and exoskeleton armor, which fully shows Fang Ning's personality of being afraid of death.
The more they dug in, the chaotic spiritual power contained in the veins with a diameter of tens of meters did not increase significantly, but a closer look could reveal a subtle improvement, indicating that they were indeed on the right path, but a little far away from the target location.
The coagulated blood clots in this blood vessel were already in a semi-petrified state, and it was said that it was blood mud, but it was actually quite hard, and it felt like digging a well to the depths, and it was the kind of clay without impurities such as sand and gravel.
Digging was boring, even if there was a special excavation machine, Fang Ning looked bored after following for a while, so he asked his subordinates to dig forward in several batches in turn, and found a section by himself to stop and rest first, and then go over when the distance in front of him was long enough.
One day passed so quickly, the next day .... To be precise, ten hours have passed, and I woke up again and continued to move forward, and I had already dug a distance of more than 30 kilometers in front of me, and I was a horse with fast efficiency.
This specialized excavation machine has a huge drill bit in front of it that crushes the hard ore, transports it along the central cavity to the rear and loads it into a mine truck, where it is quickly transported along a long track to the outside of the mine.
It's just that the viscosity of the blood sludge dug up now is very high, and what is pulled out is not crushed ore slag, but a thick and hard-like blood sludge, which someone later chops into pieces and throws it into the ore truck like poop to transport it out.
It's troublesome, but it can't be helped.
"Bell!"
A crisp sound woke up Fang Ning, who was half asleep, and came to the excavator with his subordinates, and saw that the excavator had stopped, and the drill bit didn't know what hard things it had drilled and shattered by a third.
"Dig it up and see!"
More than a dozen subordinates wearing exoskeleton armor picked up a mechanical shovel and shoveled it down, and a large piece of blood and mud was shoveled away, and a crisp sound of a 'bell' was heard in a few clicks, and someone had shoveled something.
Quickly small pieces dug open a layer of bloody mud, revealing a large piece of ..... that had shattered the drill bit to pieces. The active metal rough is more than three meters in sight now, and there is a larger volume inside.
Fang Ning watched his subordinates slowly dig out this condensed active metal, and the surprise and joy on his face became stronger and stronger.
With such a large piece of active metal rough, there are no less than ten units of this part seen now, which means that this piece alone is worth more than 100 million.
"It's really a lot of money."
He beckoned his men to move lightly and slowly dig out the large piece of active metal blocking the road.
This is a long strip of irregular silver metal, a subordinate smashed a groove with a hammer, and it didn't take long to bounce up and return to its original shape, it is indeed a reactive metal, and now there is no tool to determine how many standard units there are, but it is certain that it exceeds fifteen units, that is to say, this piece alone is worth more than 150 million, even if it deducts 20 percent of the mining tax, there is .....
"Uh!!"
Fang Ning suddenly pinched his chin and walked to the active metal, pressed it with one hand, and the space quickly shrank inward and sank, as if a giant beast had swallowed the silver metal block into the space with one suck.
"I'm a reasonable tax avoidance!"
The tax of 30 million is a bit much, and he is a little reluctant.
It is estimated that a large number of active metals were gathered in the vicinity, and the second piece of active metal was not found after digging for dozens of kilometers.
Fang Ning felt that there were not too many active metal ores on this planet, if this ultra-rare active metal ore was formed because of the Leviathan corpse, indicating that this ultra-rare active metal deposit refers to this entire Leviathan corpse, then its output would never be too much, and the total value might be higher than that Becerian stone mine, but it would definitely not be much higher.
After all, the amount of metals in living organisms is only trace amounts, and even if the Leviathan's body size is magnified hundreds of millions of times, it is not much more.
If so, the value of this ultra-rare active metal deposit would have to be greatly reduced.
Sure enough, there are not as many ultra-rare deposits as this one could have been.
But then again, no matter how little it is, it is an ultra-rare mineral deposit, the price of a unit is as high as 10 million, and digging a few dozen units is hundreds of millions, and you can't make money in vain.
It's just that there are too few opportunities to make money for nothing, and I didn't dig up again for the next few days, not to mention the active metals, and I didn't even dig a few stones.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Fang Ning suddenly received a customized bell reminder, quickly went offline, and received a reminder from Zhao Ke that the four major legions and more than a dozen guilds jointly raided the mining area, and directly blew up the mining area at a huge cost, and the mine was blown up by throwing an antimatter bomb into the mine.
They had been doing it only an hour before, but Fang Ning didn't feel the fluctuations from the explosion underground.
He quickly asked about the situation at the base, but fortunately they did not attack the base.
"Keep digging!"
It's too late to turn back now, and there's no need, as long as the base is not lost, it's okay, eat the immediate benefits in your mouth first.
Next, he agreed with Zhao Ke to keep sending him an outside message offline every day, and he ordered to speed up the excavation day and night.
Finally, at some hour on the ninth day, the excavator, which had been working all the time, suddenly felt empty in front of it, leaned forward, and the hollow hole that was dug in front of it was gone.
Fang Ning was stunned for a moment, stood up suddenly, and saw a huge hole appear in front of him, pale yellow light and a suffocating terrifying coercion rushed in from the hollow, several subordinates standing at the mouth of the hollow were pressed down on the spot by the terrifying coercion coming from the hollow, and turned around and said with difficulty:
"Your Excellency the Governor, there's a huge underground world inside!"
"The underworld?"
He thought he had misheard, and before he could see the entrance of the cave, he suddenly heard a loud roar from inside, and a huge black shadow swept past the entrance of the cave, and a strong wind mixed with strong coercion rushed towards his face.
Fortunately, he had a layer of mixed energy shield on his body to isolate this almost physical coercion, but his subordinates did not have this ability, and all but a few leaders were leaned against the wall or sat on the ground by the impact of the physical coercion.
When the dark shadow passed, he stretched out his head and saw a huge underground world, like a dark area in fantasy, and he was in a small hole drilled at the edge of a cliff, and there were purple-black mosses and dwarf ferns growing on the stone walls.
This underground world dome is extremely huge, I am afraid that it has a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, and the actual range may be larger, one by one the inverted hanging stalagmites of different lengths hang down, and unknown plants are entwined on them, and a large number of vines are wrapped around the inverted hanging stalagmites and extend to another stalagmite, weaving into a rattan net that spreads all over the entire underground world dome.
The only source of light in this underground world is some insects that live in the rattan nets, many heads are as big as fireflies, and their tails bloom with a soft yellow light, and a large number of fireflies live in the dome, flying between stalagmites and vines, bringing light to this underground world.
Underneath the underworld, there is an underground world full of fantasy and dark regional style, with stone pillars, vines, lush ferns and huge mushrooms everywhere, and insects and beasts passing in the shadows from time to time.
The atmosphere of this underground world also contains the ubiquitous purple-red light veil-like poisonous gas on the planet, and the plants are brightly colored, making for a magnificent fantasy picture.
"It's really beautiful!"
After Fang Ning was amazed, she quickly took a picture of the picture in front of her and saved it, and when she went back to show it to Zhao Ke, she would definitely like it.
After finishing his personal affairs, the next thing is to get down to business, observe the surroundings, they are in the middle of the cliff, it seems that they dug here along the Leviathan veins and broke it, blindly guessing that this should be the inside of Leviathan's body, I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, Leviathan's corpse is going to be petrified, and the inside of this body has become a magnificent underground world.
Fang Ning looked far to the left, where a huge beast resembling a flying fish was flying around the edge of the underground world, as if a lord was patrolling his territory.
This thing is about two or three hundred meters long, and it looks like a fat grass carp with a pair of wings, no fish scales on its body, but a thick layer of cuticles, and a curved horn on the top of its head, on which there is a purple lightning-like streamer entwining around the horn and flickering and jumping.
The coercion that overwhelmed his subordinates before didn't come from this giant beast, this thing is big, but it's not so strong, it can't even compare to the space razer it encountered at the beginning, but the space razer is thousands of meters long, several times longer than this thing.
That endless coercion came from the depths of this underground world, and Fang Ning faintly felt that in the depths of this underground world, there was a terrifying will that could not be completely isolated by the mixed energy shield.
But what surprised him was that this extremely terrifying will did not have the evil aura that he had sensed in the blood mud of the blood vessels before, and the coercion that caught him off guard just now swept away, and even the scientists in the team were fine.
However, the effect of the planet's unique magnetic field is even more severe here, and no electronic equipment can be used, no mining vehicles can be used, and even exoskeleton armor can only be changed to manual.
As for the mining cart that fell before......
Looking at the height of these thousands of meters, there is a high probability that there is no more, and the driver inside is just an ordinary genetic warrior, and nine out of nine are killed by a fall.
However, he was still ready to go down vertically along the entrance of the cave, not to save people, but to fly here except him, and could only walk on the ground. 8)
