Chapter 30: Gluttony!?
"It's still 60 kilometers away, and it's the closest mine." Of course, it is also the smallest mine, and the size of the mine is not much different from Luke's original mining base.
But even so, the amount of minerals produced must be substantial, and at least filling the hold of a ship is certainly no problem.
If you add in the fact that no minerals have been transported out of the country during this period of time, maybe a ship will not be able to load it at all, but of course the more materials the better, and Luke is too late to be happy.
"It's a little uncomfortable, but it's nice to sit on it and blow the wind." Tianjin Feng felt very comfortable and chattered, which made Luke, who was blown by the wind and couldn't open his eyes, very depressed.
You're comfortable, who let you sit in a leeward position, and the oncoming wind can't blow it, these guys, one by one, have found a good position, and left such a place to me, it's really ......
However, the impact was not very big, and Luke didn't care, and when he got to the mine for a while, he would definitely be able to find other means of transportation, which mine had every speeding car or something, maybe there would be a small airship, or an armed gunboat or something.
Of course, it's the kind that flies in the sky, a thing that most of the star thieves use, this thing is not very large, and it is a little bigger than a large flying car, but the connotation has completely changed.
Because this thing carries a lot of weapons on it, it is not comparable to those armed flying cars, these things are almost like a small spaceship, most of the star thieves use this thing to drop infantry, and they can also work part-time as a small mobile fortress, which is really a very affordable thing.
And for their current behavior of occupying the mines everywhere, there are also a lot of conveniences, a star pirate group may have a total of three or four spaceships, but obviously there are more than just three or four mines.
After each spaceship suppresses a major mine, the remaining mines naturally have to send this kind of armed airship that is not very expensive to occupy, and with such an airship, it is very useful whether it is to delay time or evacuate with manpower.
On the way to the mine, the communication system of these mechs rang several times, most of them were roaring at them, why they didn't follow the order to go to the neighborhood near Xinggang to help suppress the emperor.
Of course, after a few rings, it was turned off by the ship's girls, which was really noisy, and Luke didn't plan to pay attention to these star thieves, just a group of rabble, so he didn't waste his energy to find out the news of these guys.
After crossing a hill in the mech, a mine appeared in the eyes of everyone, and it seemed that this mine was originally located on the mountainside, but now the entire hill has been hollowed out in half, forming a deep basin.
It is roughly estimated that it can be about two hundred meters deep, anyway, standing in Luke's position at this moment, if you look down, you still think it is very high.
"Looks like this mine is a little old." The largest mining rig in the mine hadn't been activated at this point, and it looked like it hadn't been used for years, and the bottom was overgrown with weeds.
At the bottom of the basin, only a few small mining rigs are still in operation, and there are very few workers, and the star thieves who are in charge of guarding it are hanging out near one of their gunboats.
Although there are only a few small mining units, it can still be seen that a steady stream of ore is being excavated from the ground and transported to the smelter halfway up the mountain.
And from afar, you can hear the movement in the warehouse next to the smelter, and Luke has not stopped since they stood here, which means that new steel is being put into storage in that warehouse.
In fact, what Luke cared about the most was the absent-minded star thieves, they had been standing on the top of this hill for almost five minutes, and those star thieves hadn't noticed them yet, they were still lazy and chatting next to the gunboat, and their alertness was simply extremely poor.
Probably no one would want to come to such a barren mine if they wanted to come to it, but it was true, such a place that was about to be hollowed out, ordinary people would definitely not come here.
But is Luke an average person? Obviously not, he is just a guy who lacks money and resources, although this mine is small, but the resources in the warehouse are ...... Eh, let's go down and have a look first, it's easy to be slapped in the face if it's too full of words.
Five mechs immediately jumped down from the mountain, all of which had the ability to stay in the air, but they were not afraid of this height.
And this blatant and undisguised action finally alarmed those star thieves.
"Huh? What's that? "The Star Thieves who were standing near the gunboat were all looking at the mechs that had fallen from the sky, but they were all relieved when they saw the symbols on the mechs that were clearly their own Star Bandits.
"What, it's our mecha, why did these guys get here?" The mecha used the star thief's own identification code, and the personnel in the gunboat naturally didn't notice that the pilots of these mechs had already been replaced.
"Why does it seem like there's still a person sitting on the mecha? Who is so bold as to dare to sit outside the mecha? "Some of the good-eyed guys have already seen the ship girls sitting outside the mecha, and they are wondering who is so bold.
As a result, it was not a friendly answer, but a high-explosive bullet fired from the mecha rifle. It's not just high-explosive shells, but there's also a mech that uses a beam rifle, which is great for attacking armored targets, but not so handy against infantry.
"Hey, hey! Be careful, don't break that gunboat! Seeing the reckless shooting of several people in charge of piloting the mecha, Luke reminded loudly that these guys usually restrict them and prevent them from using ship uniforms, but now that they have caught the mecha, they naturally start firing.
There was a dense explosion sound, and Luke didn't know if these guys had listened to him, but the star thieves had been blown up at this time, and the miners near the mining equipment in the distance were all looking at this side in horror.
They came here to work, not to enjoy the war, even if they were surrounded by star thieves before, at least they didn't really fight, but now it's good, who are these people! Why do you do it without saying a word!
There was a crackling bang, and when the smoke and dust cleared, Luke looked at the gunboat a little nervously, he didn't want to continue to sit in front of the mecha and blow the wind, although the gunboat of the star thief was not a good product, how could it guarantee a seat.
"What! This mech doesn't work at all! This beam rifle won't explode! Nanfang slapped the console of the mecha angrily, making the mecha make some strange movements, fortunately, the ship girls had jumped down at this time, otherwise they would have been thrown out by this babbling guy in the south.
"It's not that you saw that the mech was a little more advanced, so you rushed to drive it, but fortunately the gunboat is fine." Relieved, the gunboat had not been hit by them, and was still parked there intact.
"Yes, the gunboat is fine, but I think we're going to have something soon." Akashi was a little speechless and pointed to the gunboat that seemed to be starting and preparing to take off, and said speechlessly.
"Well, okay, I'll deal with this gunboat, Fusang, you go to the warehouse first, just load the materials inside, and count the specific quantity later." Grabbing his sidearm, Luke rushed straight towards the gunboat's hatch, which had not yet closed, and rushed up at the last minute.
It's good to catch up, otherwise the gunboat would really have run away. Patronizing the ship girls to pay attention not to hit, they forgot that there were still people here.
The structure inside the gunboat is very simple, there is a weapons area and a carrying area, there is no place for people to live on it, and there is only a rest room for the driver to rest.
Most of the star thieves stayed outside the gunboat before, but now there are few left on the ship, so naturally there is no difficulty for Luke, and after casually lowering the gunboat again, Luke also walked towards the warehouse.
The miners in the distance didn't dare to approach at all, although they didn't know why they were fighting, but it was best not to mix this kind of thing, if you weren't careful, you would die.
The warehouse of the mine naturally has a gate, but it is not locked, this kind of place is simply inaccessible, how can anyone come to this kind of place to steal things, plus they have been stacking materials in the warehouse before, Fusang and the others entered the warehouse without the slightest effort.
What happened next?
Well, Luke thought it would be better for him not to know, because he was a little mad now, and when he came back from the gunboat and walked through the open warehouse door, the first thing he saw was not a mountain of materials.
It's not a scene where the shipwives are dutifully collecting materials, and it's not a scene where the shipwives are fighting with the employees of those mines, and those miners have long been hiding away after seeing Fusang and them break in.
"What are you doing!? Do you have a dinner party? Luke shouted in despair, what appeared in front of him at this time was a group of ship girls who were deep into the sea, actually spread out picnic cloths on the ground, and sat on the ground one by one, holding all the materials in their hands from the side, and their mouths were bulging, what else could they be doing if they weren't eating!?
