Chapter 59 Mining Areas

A woman in palace costume walked in cautiously holding a jade box containing the mother of the tobacco fungus, escorted by four seventh-order masters.

After Yun Haoyu inspected it, he swiped the card to pay the bill and handed the jade box to Xiao Muhan.

"140,000 source crystals, it's not cost-effective!" Although she was happy, she also felt a little pity.

"It's okay, as long as you can advance! That's worth it! ”

"But this thing is big enough, I can't use so much by myself, you can take it too!" She smiled, "It's not too much of a loss!" ”

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded: "Two, can you take a step to speak!" ”

Yun Haoyu turned his head and saw that it was the general he had met at the door earlier.

"I wonder what you're looking for us?" He asked with some apprehension, the shock that the Holy Rank Master gave him was still not small.

"That's right, my sister's genes are a little unstable, so she needs this thing very much! Can the two of you cut their love and share it with me! Just 200 grams! ”

"Of course, I won't ask for it in vain, so I'll give 100,000 source crystals in exchange! How is it? Luo Hanxing said with a smile.

100,000 source crystals, only 200 grams, this is indeed a big advantage for Yun Haoyu!

Yun Haoyu looked at Xiao Muhan and saw that she had no intention of objecting, so he nodded and agreed.

Under Walton's witness, the mother of tobacco was divided, and then Luo Hanxing paid the bill very happily.

"Your Excellency General, you owe me a favor today!" When he was about to go out, a voice suddenly sounded in Luo Hanxing's mind.

"Miss, don't tease me!" He smiled helplessly and looked at the woman in the red dress in the distance.

"I didn't mean that. But you, it seems that something has been going wrong lately! ”

"It's just a little trouble, don't worry about it!"

"Oh, I hope so!" Xiao Muhan glanced at him and took Yun Haoyu into the flying car.

Yun Haoyu didn't know that the two of them were fighting each other privately with mental fluctuations. He was just happy that he had made another sum today, and he thought that his hand would be tight for a while.

"That woman? Looks like you have to be cautious! On the other side, Achilles thought a little reluctantly, "Lucky this kid!" ”

"What a envy! Who is that woman? Hua Manlu on the side looked at the figure of the flying car in the distance, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire! Doesn't think I'm worse than her! Why am I not so lucky? ”――

In the star system where Twilight is located, there are eleven planets of various sizes.

Twilight is the fourth planet and the only planet in this galaxy that has a good environment and has life. The third and fifth planets adjacent to it have only a thin atmosphere, and the rest have no atmosphere!

The absence of life does not mean that these planets have no value. In fact, these planets with solid surfaces often hold a lot of wealth! That's all kinds of mineral resources! And the reserves are amazing!

If one or more of the precious mineral deposits that are urgently needed in the human world can be found, then the strategic value of this planet will be greatly increased!

In the interstellar era, it is really difficult to say how many resources are needed to maintain the prosperity of a colonized planet with hundreds of millions of people! But one thing is for sure, it is definitely not enough to rely on the various resources possessed by the colonized planet itself, even if the planet has a solid foundation!

Moreover, in order to protect the balance and stability of the ecosystem, as the location of the colonized planet, there is usually no large-scale resource development.

The more populous the population and the more developed the economy, the more energy and resources will be consumed! This was an unsolvable problem in the Earth era, and it was only solved after the highly developed aerospace technology and the large-scale entry of human beings into space.

There are two pillar industries that maintain the economic prosperity of Twilight Star, one is biopharmaceutical, and the other is mineral development on nearby planets!

Due to the discovery of mineral deposits worthy of development and utilization on the ten planets, including some rare varieties, there are many large enterprises competing to come here to stake their land and invest in development!

On the Muju Star and Yueji Star, which are close to the Twilight Cloud Star, large and small mines are all over the surface of the planet! Huge automated mining equipment chisels through the rock formation, excavates the needed ore, and then sends it to the smelting base not far away for preliminary processing and refining! It is then transported away by a cargo spaceship.

With the exception of a portion of the minerals that meet the needs of Twilight, most of the minerals are loaded onto large ocean-going freighters and sold to the major star fields under the Empire's rule.

"Brother Zhao, have you arrived at your destination?" On a small passenger spaceship, Yun Haoyu asked.

"This is it, CM406 mine!" Zhao Zhixiong said with a smile, "The entire mining area is close to 8,000 square kilometers, mainly producing Celera crystal sand, as well as several associated rare earths!" ”

The ship slowly lowered its altitude, and the gray earth rushed towards it.

This planet is Muju Star, the third planet of this star system. There is only a thin layer of atmosphere, and the main components are nitrogen, methane, helium, and so on. Due to its proximity to the star, the temperature of the planet can reach hundreds of degrees Celsius during the day and drop dramatically at night, reaching nearly 100 degrees Celsius!

Naturally, there will be no life in such a harsh environment, but because of the abundance of minerals, the popularity of this planet is not bad! Along the way, Yun Haoyu has seen countless cargo spaceships rise and fall, like swarms of hard-working worker bees!

Mining machines of all shapes can be found everywhere on the ground, huge pits, simple roads as dense as cobwebs, and a staggering number of large tracked trucks loaded with freshly dug ore to the smelting base!

The smelting base sits on the edge of the pit, like a hill. Several chimneys tens of meters thick are towering, spitting plumes of smoke! Immediately next to the smelting base is the energy center hidden deep underground, as well as a fully enclosed circular ecological zone.

Of course, this is just a scene elsewhere, the CM406 area is undeveloped, there is a dead silence here, and half a figure is missing.

This time, Yun Haoyu called his friends to conduct a field survey, and also hired several mining engineering experts to determine a detailed development plan.

"Mr. Conan, what is the budget to get this mine fully operational?" He asked a white man next to him.

Conan was the financial assistant he hired, and he looked to be in his thirties, not much talking, stocky, and had a shrewd and capable face. Hearing Yun Haoyu ask him, he turned on his light brain and said, "According to the information provided by Mr. Zhao, I have made a preliminary estimate!" ”

"With an area of nearly 8,000 square kilometers, fifty operation points can be set up initially, so fifty sets of semi-fixed giant excavation equipment are needed! Nearly 1,000 sets of auxiliary equipment......"

"Initially need to build thousands of kilometers of simple roads, for which you need hundreds of related machinery and equipment, of course, this part of the equipment is only a short-term need, you can consider renting, you don't have to spend money to buy ......"

"A large tracked freight vehicle with a load of 500 tons requires 1,200 ......"

"A large-scale smelting base with an annual processing capacity of 150 million tons requires 3,000 sets of various equipment......"

"If the above equipment is highly automated, then the personnel requirement can be reduced to less than 500 people, taking into account the situation of regular production shifts and vacations, for which it is necessary to build a fully closed circulation ecological base with a scale of 800 people......"

"The most important thing is the energy base! To maintain the effective operation of the above equipment, as well as the energy demand after the expansion of the mining area in the future, it is necessary to build an energy base with a total power of 50 million kilowatts! ”

"In the end, a couple of passenger ships are needed to pick up and drop off employees, and ten medium-sized cargo ships ......"

"Of course, in order to prevent the possible harm caused by a space meteorite attack, an anti-aircraft defense system is also needed......"

"To sum up, the cost of the initial investment is about 20 billion credits!"

"Two tens of billion? Sure enough, the cost is not small! Yun Haoyu was silent.

Conan added: "If you're having financial difficulties, you can buy old equipment, which is less efficient, but you can reduce the cost by at least half!" ”

"Renting equipment is also an option, the initial investment will be lower, but in the long run, it is not very cost-effective!"

"Finally, you can also take out a loan from the bank! To solve some of the problems, use this mining area as collateral! Wait until you have the output to pay it off! ”

"You don't have to use the old equipment!" Yun Haoyu finally made up his mind, "Let's use the new one!" How long does it take to start work? ”

"If the funds are available immediately, then recruit people, buy equipment, install it, and build the project in the early stage. It can be done in a month at the latest! Coupled with a week or so of trial operation, a maximum of forty days, you can get out of the mine! Conan replied in the affirmative.

"So be it! The funds will arrive soon, and I'll come back in forty days! Yun Haoyu finally made a final decision.

"A mining area costs 20,000 yuan crystals, and the money on hand is really not enough to spend!" On the way back, Yun Haoyu complained.

"Then go to the bank for a loan! Anyway, it's a profit-only deal, as long as you survive the initial period, you can sit down and count the money! Bernard laughed.

"If Brother Hao, you decide to take out a loan, I will guarantee you!" Zhao Zhixiong also said. "Only this mining area, as long as it is fully developed, your annual income will not be less than 20,000 yuan crystals! If all 25 mines are activated, your money will only increase! ”

"In that case, will the stall be too big?" Yun Haoyu was a little worried, "Maybe I should set up a company and hire a professional team to help me take care of it!" ”

"That's exactly how it should be!" Zhao Zhixiong said with a smile, "Brother Hao, you are the one who wants to do great things, and the business will only get bigger and bigger in the future!" It really needs to start planning now! Don't worry, if there's any trouble, I'll help you solve it! ”

"In this way, then thank you Brother Zhao!"
