People can't always be unlucky in this life, early and late, good luck always comes. Now the good fortune of old John came, or the good luck of the miners who joined the rat mining team.
Since Captain Li led everyone to jump into the clouds of another planet, the gas collectors of each ship have not stopped, and the ship formation has always been able to move with the most concentrated air mass, and after the collection is finished, the fullerene solid powder in the high-pressure cargo hold has increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at the results of the ship's mastermind, every miner couldn't keep their mouths shut. These are the most valuable C50 and C72, and the most conservative ones cost 30,000 credits per cubic meter, and each person will have to get hundreds of cubic meters if they are collected at this rate.
It doesn't take much, follow the rat mining team four or five times, and you can buy a medium-sized mining ship with more collectors, larger holds, longer ranges, stronger defenses, and faster speeds.
Although the performance is not as good as the mining barge of United Mining, it is enough for ordinary miners, after all, everyone is not a clone pilot, small mining ships have to be piloted by two people, and medium-sized mining ships are already the limit, no matter how powerful the function is, more people have to be added, and there will be more profits, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"Old John, do you say that the Federation's mining spaceship is better, or the Empire's is better" Even He Xizhou, who has always sung about the aging rat mining team, closed his stinky mouth and began to count his future way out with his fingers.
"If you want me to say, don't be busy changing the new spaceship, it's better to add a collector and follow Captain Li for more time. Such a once-in-a-lifetime mine head who has the ability and is not greedy, the spaceship has changed, and it is still not profitable to catch up with those guys who drink blood, so think about it. "The ancients of the Earth Age often said that people are old and slippery, and it does make sense. When everyone was immersed in the reverie of a better life, he was unusually sober.
"Mr. John, if we don't change the spaceship and increase the collector, our cargo hold can't hold so many fullerenes, won't we still be able to increase our income" The four young people had a quick brain, and immediately heard that there was a big loophole in Old John's suggestion.
"You don't understand the rules of the mining team, and in order to encourage everyone to work more, the mine head will find a cargo ship as a common cargo hold. Our mining fleet is not so large, and the cargo ships are replaced by industrial ships. Old John was right, it was better to add a collector to change ships, take advantage of Captain Li's efforts to mine a few more times, and wait for Captain Li to leave and then change to a big ship to mix with other mining teams. "This time He Xizhou didn't go against Old John, he understood.
"Captain Li is leaving" The four young people had just a little hope, and they were immediately dumbfounded when they heard the news.
"He's a clone pilot, if he doesn't leave, he'll stay here and help us make money, they'll only do this work when they're short of money, and once they've saved up enough credits, they'll disappear immediately. The four of you are lucky, don't be lazy, and earn as much as you can. It's best to avoid going to the ring when you're fine, unless you want to be like the porridge drinker in the future. ”
Old John has a problem, that is, he likes to tell the truth too much, regardless of the occasion. This may be one of the reasons why his life has been unsatisfactory, when he meets people he doesn't know too well, he often offends people by talking bluntly, and at the end it will make people not like to listen to it, because you destroy other people's hopes, even if these hopes are ethereal.
"Don't worry, I'll be on the Alfonso space station for a while, there are a lot of fullerene resources here, and the purchase price is good. Anhaka has also signed a fixed purchase contract with the buyer, and the purchase price is higher than usual, and it will be quick to make enough money for the new spaceship. But let's not publicize our collection to the outside world, lest it cause unnecessary trouble, you say?"
As soon as he heard the miners talking about their whereabouts, Hong Tao's ears immediately swelled. If Anhaka's mouth is so fast, then this cooperation will come to an end. In the past, he would compensate for taking care of Nuel with credits, but this kind of partner can't stay, and he can't hide as far as he wants.
Hong Tao didn't want to have any communication with these miners, the two sides didn't live on the same level at all, and it was useless to talk about it. They can't completely change their lives, and they can't help themselves.
But the more they listened, the more they couldn't help but say that if they didn't explain it clearly, they would definitely go to the Alfonso space station to inquire, and then more and more people would know, which was not in line with their original intentions.
The miners were naturally overjoyed when they heard this, and they promised and thanked them a thousand times, and then began to discuss what kind of spaceship to buy and what type of collector to add in the channel.
People's emotions are contagious, and Nuel listened to the lively discussion on the channel, and his memory seemed to recover a little, and he actually participated as a veteran clone pilot to give advice to the miners.
It's a pity that some parts of his brain are blank, and it is easy to break off as he speaks. Whenever this happens, Hong Tao has to help him round the field, fill in the missing parts, and once Nuel asks, he has to make up a story immediately, not only the logic must be smooth, but also coherent.
If it would be easy to fool Nuel, now you have to even get those miners together, even if Hong Tao has reached the level of eating wire and pulling the fence immediately, it is a bit difficult to face such high requirements. Fortunately, the lives of ordinary miners and clone pilots are very different, and they don't know the details very well, so they barely fooled the past.
The tiredness was not in vain, and through this small talk, everyone finally got closer and had a general understanding. Once the mutual vigilance is weakened, many things are easy to communicate, and the cooperation is becoming more and more tacit, and the direct effect is that the work efficiency has been significantly improved.
Everyone gathered firewood and flames, and this time it only took eight days to fill the industrial ship and everyone's cargo hold, and then jumped back to the Alfonso space station together under the leadership of Hong Tao.
"Anhaka, don't you like me very much, why do you have a sad face every time you meet" The first face he saw after entering the airtight door made Hong Tao's good mood cool down a little, and the already thin Anhaka shrank in the corner like an air bag.
"It's like I'm living in a vacuum these days, and I can't sleep for a long time every night, but fortunately you came back safely......" In fact, after receiving the news of the safe return of the rat mining team, Anhaka has put down a small part of his hanging heart, if Hong Tao saw him two days ago, he would really think that he had encountered a living ghost.
"Not only have people returned, but there are also more than 60,000 cubic meters of C50 and C72. Don't worry about it now, don't laugh like that, it's worse than crying, hurry up and settle it, and then come to the bar and I'll invite everyone to drink something exciting. ”
Hong Tao knew why he was so depressed, in order to fight for the maximum benefit of the mining team, this Sebisto man bet all his net worth, once he couldn't complete the quota, he would be in vain for more than ten years, and he would have to owe a lot of debts.
Of course, the greater the risk, the higher the return, if the order is completed, the credit points he gets are also very considerable, I dare not say that he can immediately go to the next level, and if there is a similar opportunity in the future, he will not have to smash the pot and sell iron to fight for his life, and he has the capital to do a slightly larger business.
Whatever Anhaka was willing to fight for his life for, he had helped himself anyway. Hong Tao never minds that others use him to make a profit, as long as he can make use of it. So not only did he have no negative opinion of Anhaka, but he was also ready to give him some more gifts.
Today's Hong Tao is particularly generous, not only inviting Anhaka to drink the Kufei with added ingredients, but all the members of the mining team, including Nuel. Although this did not help the clone pilot, the lively atmosphere could make his mood better.
To say that these miners are pitiful enough, even Kufei is usually reluctant to drink, let alone high-end goods with over-seasoning. Except for the four young men, the rest drank half and left half for the family to try.
Hong Tao pretended not to see it, and did not buy them new ones. Self-esteem is sometimes particularly fragile, often the poorer a person is, the more closely protected, and the slightest fuss will be made. The benefits can't be given every day, there are still days, take your time.
