Star Sea Hunter

A woman in palace attire walked in carefully holding a jade box containing Kuiyan Mushroom Mother, accompanied by four seventh-level masters escorting her.

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

"14 source crystals, it's not worth it!" Although she was happy, she also felt a little pity.

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

"But this thing is big enough, I can't use so much by myself, you can also take it!" She laughed, "It's not too bad to calculate!"

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded: "You two, can you take a step to talk!"

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

"I don't know what you want from us?" He asked a little nervously, the shock given to him by the master of the holy rank was not small.

"It's like this, my sister's genes are a little unstable, so I really need this thing! Can the two of you split up and give me a share! Just two hundred grams will do!"

"Of course, I won't ask for it for nothing, so I'll give you [-] source crystals in exchange! How about it?" Luo Hanxing said with a smile.

One hundred thousand source crystals, only exchanged for two hundred grams, this really gave Yun Haoyu a big advantage!

Yun Haoyu looked at Xiao Muhan, and seeing that she had no intention of objecting, he nodded in agreement.

Witnessed by Walton, Kuiyan mushroom mother was divided, and Luo Hanxing paid the bill happily.

"Your Excellency, you owe me a favor today!" Before leaving the door, a voice suddenly came from 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 don't mean that. But you, it seems that something is going wrong recently!"

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

"Hehe, I hope so!" Xiao Muhan gave him a sideways glance, and got on the speeding car with his arm on Yun Haoyu.

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

"It's that woman? Looks more cautious!" On the other side, Achilles thought unwillingly, "This kid is lucky!"

"I'm really envious! Who is that woman?" Hua Manli looked at the figure flying away, her eyes seemed to burst into flames! "It seems that I am not worse than her! Why am I not so lucky?"

------------------------------------------ In the star system where Mu Yunxing is located, there are ten A planet of varying sizes.

Mu Yunxing is the fourth planet, and it is also the only planet in this star system with a better environment and life.The third and fifth neighboring planets have only a thin atmosphere, and the rest have no atmosphere at all!

Although there is no life, it does not mean that these planets are worthless.In fact, these planets with solid surfaces often have a lot of wealth!That is all kinds of mineral resources!And the reserves are amazing!

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

In the interstellar era, it is hard to say how many resources are needed to maintain the prosperity of a colonial planet with a population of hundreds of millions!But one thing is certain, it is definitely not enough to rely on the various resources of the colony planet itself, no matter how rich the family background of this planet is!

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

The larger the population and the more developed the economy, the more energy and resources will be consumed!This was an unsolvable problem in the age of the earth. It was solved only after the space technology was highly developed and human beings entered space on a large scale.

There are two pillar industries that maintain the economic prosperity of Mu Yunxing, one is biopharmaceuticals, and the other is the development of minerals on adjacent planets!

Since mineral deposits worthy of development and utilization have been found on the ten planets, including some rare varieties, many large companies are rushing to come here to enclose land and invest in development!

On Muju and Yueda stars that are close to Muyun star, large and small mines are all over the surface of the planet!Huge automated mining equipment cuts through the rock formations, excavates the required ore, and then sends it to the smelting base not far away for preliminary processing and refining!Then transported away by cargo spaceship.

Except for a part that meets the needs of Mu Yunxing, most of the minerals are loaded on large ocean-going freighters and sold to the major star fields under the empire.

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

"Here it is, the cm406 mining area!" Zhao Zhixiong laughed, "The entire mining area is close to [-] square kilometers, and it mainly produces Celera crystal sand, as well as several rare earths associated with it!"

The spaceship slowly lowered its altitude, and the gray earth rushed towards us.

This planet is Muju Star, the third planet in this star system.There is only a thin atmosphere, the main components are nitrogen, methane, helium and so on.Due to the close distance to the stars, the temperature of this planet reaches hundreds of degrees Celsius during the day, and drops sharply at night, reaching nearly [-] degrees Celsius below zero!

Naturally, there would be no life in such a harsh environment, but because of the rich mineral deposits, the popularity of this planet is not bad!Along the way, Yun Haoyu has seen countless cargo spaceships rising and falling, like swarms of hardworking worker bees!

On the ground, mining machines of various shapes can be seen everywhere, huge mine pits, simple roads densely covered with cobwebs, and an astonishing number of large tracked trucks full of newly dug ores driving to the smelting base!

The smelting base is located on the edge of the pit, like a hill.Several chimneys with a thickness of tens of meters stand tall, spewing smoke columns! 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 from other places. The cm406 area has not been developed, and it is dead silent here, and there is no one.

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

"Mr. Conan, how much budget do we need to start this mining area in full swing?" He asked a white man next to him.

Conan is the financial assistant he hired. He looks about 30 years old, doesn't talk much, has a stocky body, and looks shrewd and capable.When Yun Haoyu asked him, he turned on his optical brain and said, "According to the information provided by Mr. Zhao, I have made a preliminary estimate!"

"With an area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers, [-] operating points can be initially set up, which requires [-] sets of semi-fixed giant excavation equipment! Nearly a thousand sets of various auxiliary equipment are also needed..."

"A simple road with a length of thousands of kilometers needs to be built initially, and hundreds of related machinery and equipment are needed for this. Of course, this part of equipment is only for short-term needs, and you can consider renting it instead of buying it yourself..."

"Large tracked freight vehicles with a load of [-] tons need [-] units..."

"A large smelting base with an annual processing capacity of [-] million tons requires [-] sets of various equipment..."

"If the above-mentioned equipment is highly automated, then the personnel requirement can be reduced to less than 500 people. Considering the situation of regular production shifts and vacations, it is necessary to build a fully closed and circular 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, and 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 5000 million kilowatts!"

"Finally, several passenger spaceships are needed to pick up and drop off employees, and ten medium-sized cargo spaceships..."

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

"To sum up, the initial investment cost is around 200 billion credits!"

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

Conan added: "If you have financial difficulties, you can buy old equipment. Although it is less efficient, the cost can be reduced by at least half!"

"Renting equipment is also a way. The initial investment will be lower, but in the long run, it is not very cost-effective!"

"Finally, you can also get a loan from the bank! To solve some of the problems, you can use this mining area as a mortgage! You can pay it back when there is output!"

"There is no need for old equipment!" Yun Haoyu finally made up his mind, "Use all new ones! How soon can we start work?"

"If the funds are available immediately, then the recruitment of manpower, equipment purchase, installation, and preliminary construction can be completed in one month at the latest! Adding about a week of trial operation, at most forty days, the mine can be mined!" Conan replied in a positive tone.

"That's how it is! The funds will arrive in the account soon, and I'll come back in [-] days!" Yun Haoyu finally made a final decision.

"A mining area costs [-] source crystals, and the money on hand is really not enough!" On the way back, Yun Haoyu complained.

"Then go to the bank for a loan! Anyway, this is a business that only makes money and doesn't lose money. As long as you survive the initial period, you can sit down and count the money!" Bernard laughed.

"Brother Hao, if you decide to take out a loan, I'll guarantee it for you!" Zhao Zhixiong also said. "Only this mining area, as long as it is fully developed, your annual income will not be less than 25 source crystals! If all [-] mining areas are activated, your money will only increase by then!"

"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 take care of it for me!"

"That's right!" Zhao Zhixiong said with a smile, "Brother Hao, you are a person who wants to do big things, and your business will only get bigger and bigger in the future! It is indeed necessary to start planning now! Don't worry, if there is any trouble, I will help you solve it!"

"If so, thank you Brother Zhao!"
