Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 13 Zenia
"Mr. Nuoya, that guy...does it really work?"

When the distance from the target planet "Zenia" was less than three units, Frege still couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep until today since following her to see the thing in the A-3 cabin of the ship.

He wanted to come up with a result that could shock that bad old man Patrick's jaw, but the tools Noah provided him made him a little skeptical.

He felt that it was not particularly reliable to entrust his fate to... that guy.

"Don't worry," Nuoya sipped his coffee leisurely, "Its core technology is provided by mechanical civilization."

After hearing the word "mechanical species", Frege finally relaxed a little.

Like most people, he believes that "machine species" represent the most advanced scientific and technological capabilities of pan-human civilization, and their products can indeed make people feel at ease.

But he still can't imagine that the mining efficiency of a mere cylinder can exceed that of a large team?

[Connecting to the outer orbit of the "Zenia" planet, the gravity is being adjusted]

[Receive the message, please show your pass]

Frege submitted the mining certificate obtained from Patrick, and got a reply from Planet Outpost in a short while.

[Allowed to enter, welcome to Zenia Star, Mr. Frege Nome, I wish you a bright future]

No need to think about it, the last sentence was obviously ordered by Patrick to add.

"Ah……"

Frege sneered, and he must make that old thing look good when he goes back.

The Amrodia broke through the thick atmosphere, and the gray-blue planet below appeared in the field of vision.

"It doesn't look like the environment is particularly good."

Frege followed the third survey group to carry out large-scale survey projects, and the largest one was even more than ten times larger than this Zenia star.

The larger the planet, the higher the diversity of species, and the more abundant tourism resources and the like.

"Although Zenia is a living planet, its surface vegetation coverage is less than 5% green, and the overall oxygen content is low."

Noah reminded, "You don't want to leave the ship, just let the Guard No. [-] take that guy down."

"Ok."

Frege didn't dispute that, and if that guy wasn't good enough, adding him wasn't going to help either.

[Prepare for landing, pay attention to the dissipation of high-heat airflow on the surface]

【Countdown: 9, 8, 7...】

"boom--"

After the slight turbulence, under Noah's satisfied eyes, Frege leaned on the back of the chair and released the manual joystick.

"You did a good job this time, Captain," Nuoya nodded slightly, "Practice a few more times, your driving skills directly determine our earning efficiency."

Frege's back was already drenched in cold sweat. When he was about to land just now, Noah suddenly walked to the main console and turned off the automatic guidance system, and let Frege manually control the ship to land.

"But obviously there is an auxiliary program, this kind of operation is not what the driver must master?!"

Nuoya ignored him, and directly issued an instruction to the smart mecha that had been ejected to the surface through the communication: "Jianwei No. 600, give priority to surveying the position at a depth of [-] units below the target location."

"The speed of the mining robot is not as fast as yours. You take him with you when you pass by, and put it on the surface for him to mine by himself."

"Yes."

On the screen was the screen transmitted by the body camera of Janitor-3, and Frege stared at the giant cylindrical robot about [-] meters in its hand and remained silent.

In any case, he couldn't believe that this guy alone could be more efficient than a large mining group.

"Guard One, install a camera on the mining robot and let our captain see how it works."

The smart mech gestured "OK" to the camera, and soon another sub-shot appeared on the screen.

"A-E1 type iron ore is one of the most common ores, and most mineral planets have extremely high reserves."

There was no movement on the screens on both sides for the time being, and Nuoya took advantage of this gap to popularize some basic knowledge to Frege.

"For a planet with a relatively rough ground like Zenia, the location of continuous rolling mountains must be the most active area of ​​plate movement."

She opened a partial terrain analysis map, and two red light spots went up and down. The one on the surface was the "iron barrel" that was the main mining force. At this time, the Guard No. 500 had penetrated about [-] meters into the ground.

"If the content of type A-E1 is high in the location of this mountain, then A-E2 and even A-E3 concentrated ores can be found in the ground, and their value is three times higher than that of the female parent."

"I know this."

Frege nodded. This knowledge is one of the basic qualities of a surveyor, and he was not wasted when he was in the third survey group.

"You know?" A smile appeared on Nuoya's face, "Then tell me, what is the approximate ratio of A-E1 to A-E2 and 3 in this case."

“A-E3型出现的条件比较苛刻，一般我们调查报告中都只会将它描述成‘微量’，1型和2型的比例大致是10：1到11：1之间吧。”

Seeing Nuoya's half-smile expression, Frege couldn't help asking: "Isn't it?"

He still has considerable confidence in his major, even in front of Nuoya, he will not choose to give in to this kind of problem.

"Or let's make a bet," Nuoya glanced at him, "I bet the type 2 here is at least 1/1 of the total type 3."

"No way," Frege shook his head, "I bet you."

"The bet is... the loser has to promise the winner a condition, is that okay?"

"can."

Frege readily agreed, and he had already started to think about the conditions for Nuoya to agree to him.

How about... let her switch to the "gentle maid type"?
It sounds like a pretty good one.

"Master, you are doomed." The voice of Janitor No. [-] rang through the communication.

"Ok?"

Guard No. [-] seemed to sigh, "Please read the report I sent back."

[H31 block mine source survey report is being transmitted...]

"Type A-E1 iron ore: 43 units, which is a full 266.12 units more than the information provided by the Emeral family. Which unit did their previous survey, so unreliable."

While complaining, Frege looked down at the survey report of Janitor-[-].

Patrick Emer signed an agreement with him to mine 35 units of A-E000 type iron ore. Originally, the survey report he provided was not limited to block H1.

According to the survey report they have in hand, H31 can only provide about 23 ore, and Frege needs to go to the other two blocks to mine part of it to complete the required resources.

"The accuracy of the high-level wide-area measurement is not at the same level as the equipment carried by your planetary surveyors," Nuoya explained, "Moreover, this project belonged to the third survey group of Dongyang Mining."

"This……"

Frege scratched his head in embarrassment. This incident should have happened before he joined the job, otherwise he wouldn't have had the slightest impression.

"Keep reading down."

"A-E2 type iron ore: 1...wait a minute—"

"18 units?? How is this possible?!"
