Chapter 187: Ore Veins
The reason why they chose low altitude is because the concealment device on the shuttle is not good, and they can only use camouflage equipment, but these camouflage can only deceive the powerful flying beasts in the high altitude at a long distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They must avoid the flying brutes at high altitudes, as they are generally not weak, and they will generally choose to attack outsiders in groups, and this rudimentary armed prospecting shuttle cannot withstand the siege.
Low altitude is the best cover to avoid a lot of trouble and danger, and there is only one armed prospecting shuttle, and a lot of time is wasted to repair if it is damaged.
Moreover, although the detection range of the low altitude is a little smaller, the detection accuracy has been improved a lot, at least they can easily eliminate those veins that are difficult to mine and have insufficient reserves, which can save a lot of time.
"We've really picked up a treasure, the minerals on this planet are really not ordinarily rich!" Seeing the information fed back by the prospecting equipment, Excellence only felt full of happiness on his face, this is probably the blessing of not dying in a catastrophe, right?
"It's really shocking!I think there aren't a few planets in the entire Federation with such rich resources!" Xu Lin was also shocked by this.
After getting out of that snow-capped mountain range, the mineral deposits were instantly enriched, and it could even be said that they were everywhere, and the level was not low, as could be seen from the dense light spots displayed on the prospector.
The mineral deposits are mainly sixth- and seventh-level mineral deposits (producing sixth- and seventh-level spiritual materials), and there are also eighth-level ones, so it can be said that if you dig anywhere, you can dig high-grade ores.
With so many veins, if each vein has to be carefully investigated, I don't know when it will be explored, and it may not be possible to find all the materials needed in two or three months.
Therefore, the two of them made a decision in an instant: "The sixth-level vein directly cares about it, there are more high-grade spiritual materials, Lily will definitely not use this low-level one again, the seventh-level vein is not extremely rich and easy to mine, so let it go for the time being!"
As for the eighth-level ore veins, we only check the reserves that are sufficient and the difficulty of mining is low, and judging from the current situation, there must be a lot of eighth-level ore veins on this planet!"
Now, what they lack most is only the main material for making armor, which is characterized by the large amount of ore used, and the veins that are too small do not need to be considered.
"Shoot those two guys down there!Let's go collect some samples, this eighth-grade one-yuan heavy iron vein is very large, and the burial is very shallow, and I don't know what the content of the eighth-grade ore is?" Excellence pointed to a gravel valley below.
This valley was the largest and easiest vein they had found in the past half a day, and some of the ore was directly exposed to the surface, so they could recognize the type of vein at a glance.
There was a pair of heavy-armored dragon crocodiles in that valley, with a hundred feet of length and terrifying aura, and the two of them were definitely not opponents, but there was a ballista on the shuttle, which could easily kill those two heavy-armored dragon crocodiles of the Yuan God Stage.
"Bang!" "Bang!" There were two loud bangs in a row, and the two dragon crocodiles were shot in the head in an instant.
More and more powerful tools allow human beings to no longer have to engage in bloody hand-to-hand combat with brute beasts as they did at the beginning, and use their lives to fight for living space around humans.
"Hurry up! There must be more than two dragon crocodiles here, collect samples and leave!" said Excellence eagerly.
The shuttle quickly stopped in the valley, and the equipment loaded on it directly drilled a hole to collect samples, there were a lot of samples to be collected, and they had to hurry, their shuttle only had a ballista on it, and it couldn't deal with a large group of dragon crocodiles.
A minute later, before a large swarm of ankylosaurus crocodiles swarmed in, Excellence left the valley with dozens of samples.
"This vein is very good! The burial is very shallow and easy to mine, and among the one-yuan heavy iron extracted, thirty percent of it has reached grade eight!"
"One Yuan Heavy Iron is a spiritual material, which is extremely dense (weight doesn't mean much for a starship) and extremely tough, and can be used as the main material for the armor of a combat ship.
The reserves of this vein are so huge, and the content of eighth-grade one-yuan heavy iron is so high, it seems that the armor of our Xinghai is about to be greatly upgraded!" Xu Lin also said happily.
"Now we won't continue to investigate for the time being, let's go back and organize the mining first! Alas! If the main material of the outer armor of the Xinghai was originally an eighth-level spiritual material, we would not be so thrilling in the space quicksand, but unfortunately it was only a seventh-level spiritual material!"
In fact, the materials used in the Star Sea are already very extravagant, the armor materials of ordinary starships are generally based on fifth-level spiritual materials, while starships will use sixth- and seventh-level spiritual materials as the main armor materials.
And the armor with the eighth-level spiritual material as the main material can only be used by high-star special-purpose starships, and the unit price of the eighth-level spiritual material is not terrible to the point of being terrifying, but the key is that it can't withstand the huge amount of use.
The higher the level of the main material of the armor alloy, the better its defensive performance will naturally be, and the higher the security of the starship, if the outer armor alloy of the Star Sea is based on the eighth-level spiritual material, there is no problem at all if the defensive performance is increased by ten times.
And the one-yuan heavy iron is available from level seven to level nine, and it is one of the most suitable spiritual materials for armor in the same level of materials, and it is indeed a matter of joy to find a large-scale one-yuan heavy iron bonanza of level eighth.
"Why did you come back so soon?" they had only been out for less than a day, which made Lily very puzzled.
"Of course I've found something good!" said Excellence, opening the shuttle's crate.
"This is a one-yuan heavy iron!? It is indeed very suitable as the main material of armor, you have only been out for less than a day and found it, and you are too lucky!" Lily exclaimed.
"It's not that we're lucky, it's that the mineral resources of this planet are too rich! Do you know how many rank 8 veins we've found in the past half a day?" asked Zhuo Zhuo proudly.
"How much?"
"One hundred and seventy-three! There are countless veins of six or seven levels! This is a planet made of all kinds of spirit ores, and the whole is a treasure!" Lily was instantly shocked by the remarkable description and was speechless.
Now he realized how big Wei Zhong's so-called Great Fortune was, if the other planets of this star system were also so rich in minerals.
Then, what they have gained this time will definitely be more than what they have been doing in the laboratory for several years.
"However, no matter how rich the minerals are, they are also buried in the ground, so let's discuss how to mine this yuan of heavy iron back now!"
"The density of one-element heavy iron is too great, and there is nothing in the starry sky, and this density in the planet makes it countless times more difficult to mine.
Therefore, we need to build professional mining equipment and transportation equipment, which will take a lot of time!"
"Before we can mine, we need to clear the colony of heavy ankylosaurus crocodiles there, they are very numerous, but we can clear the site and build mining equipment at the same time, and build transport flying boats while mining!" Xu Lin proposed. (To be continued.) )
