All in all, a lot of points have been spent almost to the bottom, and now Liao Mingyu has less than 20,000 points in his hand, just like the dream of getting rich overnight was suddenly beaten back to the prototype.

But all this is worth it, and the benefits brought by the base areas can make the troops get a qualitative leap, which is something that no amount of points can be exchanged.

However, there is good news in the past two days, the system scanned the local geological structure by manipulating the main control room, and actually found that there is an iron ore resource here, which is located between the western mountains, and the preliminary judgment is that its ore output is about 2-300 million tons, which is only ten kilometers away from the main base.

Although it is only a small vein, it is a rare iron-rich mine, with an iron content of about 60% higher in iron-bearing quartz, and can be mined in open pit.

This is a major discovery, you must know that iron ore deposits are generally accompanied by veins, such as titanium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead and zinc, tin, molybdenum, aluminum, etc., if you are lucky, there are rare earths, then this will not solve the urgent need.

According to the system's calculations, due to the extremely high iron content in this mining area, the mined iron ore can be exchanged for about 200 points per ton, and if other rare minerals can be found, the income should be higher.

Don't look at the exchange ratio is not high, but the mining base station built by the system can ensure a monthly output of 1000-1500 tons, which is not counting other rare minerals, which is equivalent to earning about 20-250,000 points for Liao Mingyu in a month.

The excited Liao immediately set about arranging mining matters, preparing to build a mining base station and lay a transportation route first, but as soon as he saw the points needed for the construction of the base station, the fire that had just ignited in his heart was instantly extinguished.

"Two hundred thousand points? How can a broken mining area be so expensive!? Uncle System, aren't you cheating on me? Liao Mingyu wanted to cry without tears, so he could only roar in his heart.

"Ding... The host should not underestimate the mining base station, which includes dozens of mining trucks, bulldozers, large cone crushers, small jaw crushers, segmented conveyor tables and other equipment, and will be equipped with a hundred miners, and the host can increase the number of miners and mining vehicles by itself, and then increase the mining capacity. The system immediately explained.

"What do you mean? What the hell is self-increasing? Liao Mingyu was puzzled.

"Ding... Generally speaking, the host can arrange normal humans to work in the mining area, increase the number of mining workers and vehicles, and then achieve the purpose of increasing production, and the base workers and equipment can be exchanged for points, and the future expansion is very considerable. Again, the system explained.

Liao Mingyu basically understands this, that is to say, he can exchange more absenteeism to work, increase output and efficiency, then the monthly output may be more than 400 tons.

You can even pull those thousands of devil captives over to work, anyway, the free labor is not in vain, and the concentration camps are kept in the camp and nothing is wasted in vain, it is really better to let them go to the mining area to work and reform, it is simply a double win.

"That system uncle... Can I apply for a loan? I have less than 20,000 yuan in my hand, and I can't build it if I want to, why don't you help me cushion it first, and I'll pay it back when the mining business is done, and I'll pay some interest..."Liao Mingyu begged with a shy face.

"Ding... Are you here to be a bank? Do you want to prostitute me for nothing? It's a shame that you think about it...... Stop! I know what you're trying to say, and to tell you the truth, there is no extra reserve energy in the system, and even if you go and kill Hirohito and Mustache now, I won't be able to reward you with points. ”

Originally, Liao Mingyu wanted to say that he would launch a few more battles to fight the little devils in the south, and if he won, he would naturally be rewarded with points, but the system's answer completely blocked his last glimmer of hope.

"What the are you going to do? Now that there are no rewards for fighting devils, and I can't build a mining station, I have more than 10,000 left, isn't this just waiting for death? ”

In fact, since the completion of the main base, the system has converted all its remaining energy into points for Liao Mingyu to use, and in the future, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will no longer be rewarded by any points, and only by continuously obtaining resources to convert energy can he continue to obtain the points needed for construction and production.

So now, even the system itself can't get half a point of points, or it has no extra energy for concrete transformation, if it can't get resources and energy for a long time, the base will also be paralyzed, and the system will be at risk of entering a dormant state.

"Ding... There must be a way, a base miner 200 points, a hand holding crusher 15, a trolley 2... Without the help of trucks, large equipment and conveyor belts, each worker can produce about 3 tons per month, and the host can exchange some of the one-man mining equipment and miners for a small amount of mining work first. ”

The system's answer made Liao Mingyu fall into deep thought, although the output is a little less, it is better than nothing, think about it, there is no other better way, so he can only do this, and after a while, he immediately made a decision: "Okay!" Then exchange 50 miners first, 50 sets of corresponding equipment, and 30 ten-wheeled heavy trucks, well... That's it for now. ”

This set cost more than 17,000, and there are not many points left in the end, but according to normal data, 50 miners can bring 30,000 points of income every month, at least the money is not spent in vain, and when the points slowly come up, they will directly build a base station, and then they can sit and collect money.

Liao Mingyu, who was sitting in front of the console, frowned, and kept tapping his fingers on the countertop, thinking about it, he still felt that this speed was a little slow, and it would take more than six months to get together 200,000 at this rate? By that time, the Yankees had finished fighting Iwo Jima, and they hadn't built a mining station yet, so wasn't that the end of the calf?

No, it can't be like this...

Liao Mingyu couldn't sit still, stood up suddenly, and strode out.

In an ordinary office above the underground main control room, there are several high-power radio stations here, and as soon as you enter the door, you can hear the sound of Dididi's telegram, and seven or eight communication soldiers are wearing headphones and are working.

"Junza?"

Ding Xiaoer saw Liao Mingyu walk in and hurriedly came up to say hello, now there are few people, and he is also responsible for the daily affairs of the Communications Department as the latter's adjutant, so busy that he can't get along.

"Send a telegram to Long Wenwen immediately, and ask him to bring me the more than 1,000 devil captives in the Mandalay concentration camp as quickly as possible. There are also those local natives who have nothing to do, and they say that they can now be provided with job opportunities, food and shelter, and wages. ”

Liao Mingyu didn't talk much nonsense, and gave the order bluntly:

"In addition, tell him that he is dead, whether it is coaxing or deception, or coercive measures, no matter what method is used, I must ask him to bring at least 3,000 laborers over within half a month, and there must be no mistake!"
