Chapter 1799 The troops are divided into two groups
Qu Jianlei prepared these equipment more than 20 years ago.
What he thought was that maybe one day, there would be a need to mine minerals on a large scale and quickly.
At that time, his target was not the spirit stone mine, but some energy stone mines.
Later, as the structures of several worlds became clearer and clearer, Qu Jianlei really began to consider the possibility of mining spirit stone mines.
Anyway, no matter what he does, he is used to doing his homework in advance - the worst that can happen is that all the preparations will be in vain, what can he lose?
And at this moment, it is really useful!
Seeing the mining equipment digging, screening and sorting frantically, the Asuras were a little speechless.
Blood Hammer sighed, "I finally understand why the immortals use technological weapons to fight. It really saves me a lot of trouble."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Hua Lei snorted coldly. She was a native of the Federation and hated Asura very much.
If it was an eight-armed one like the giant hammer, she might not have the courage to express her opinion, but for a six-armed one like the bloody hammer, it didn't matter.
Even if she is only an A-level.
"You..." Blood Hammer glanced at her, almost furious. Do you have the right to speak here?
But the next moment, it took a deep breath, then smiled and nodded, "You're right!"
Although it had a smile on its face, the muscles at the corners of its eyes were twitching, and it was obvious that it was trying hard to control it.
"You don't need to say one thing and mean another," Hualei said, not wanting to spoil it at all. "If it can be solved with external force, why bother using spiritual energy?"
"Well, that's true," Blood Hammer was helpless.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the sub-nest took everyone away, leaving only a large number of machines working there.
Ju Hammer also saw this scene and couldn't help but ask questions while he was on his way.
"How will mining end like that? What if an Asura breaks in? Wouldn't that be terrible?"
It just so happened that it was Duogan who was on duty in the cave.
She was very shrewd in her work, and just smiled faintly when she heard it, "Technology also has its merits, you just don't understand it!"
However, for the giant hammer, this kind of casual and understated contempt is the most unacceptable.
Although it had received the old ancestor's order, it still couldn't help but say, "That might also expose... or lose some spirit stones?"
"It's rare that you have such a heart," Dorgan replied calmly, "but don't worry, we know what we are doing."
Upon hearing this, Ju Hammer rolled his eyes helplessly. Really... he was so angry!
Fifteen days later, they came to another spirit stone mine and continued to operate according to the rules.
After two battles, one division-level ship was severely damaged, two were slightly injured, and countless ammunition and energy blocks were consumed.
But compared with the gains, the efforts are still worth it. After all, spirit stones cannot be bought with money.
While cleaning up the battlefield, a white light flashed from a division-level ship, and a woman appeared on the teleportation array.
This is Jia Shuiqing's clone, responsible for monitoring the mining of the previous spirit stone mine.
In just fifteen days, a mine that took a tribe a hundred years to mine halfway was completely mined.
The efficiency is certainly beyond doubt, but the losses are also huge.
The Blood Hammer estimated that the loss would be more than half, it can only be said... its guess was pretty close.
During the mining process, blasting, brutal excavation, etc. are so normal that it would be strange if the loss was not high.
In fact, the overall mining cost is not low, and brute force cracking requires a lot of energy support.
Fortunately, for Qu Jianlei and his team, the cost of energy blocks is basically not a consideration.
On the contrary, mechanical wear and tear is more troublesome to repair and maintain.
Even if you can consider buying new ones, the process of modifying mechanical equipment requires computing power and time, right?
In any case, the spiritual stone mine that would take Asura about a hundred years to mine completely was mined by them in just fifteen days.
It would be strange to say that there were no huge costs and staggering waste in this process.
However, Jia Shuiqing's clone reported a number that satisfied everyone - a little over 10 million ordinary spirit stones.
According to this calculation, if the mining is carried out safely, the profit will definitely be more than 20 million yuan.
Although this will take a hundred years, a fixed output of two hundred thousand spirit stones every year is not too bad, right?
In addition, Jia Shuiqing also mined more than 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
To be honest, considering that a tribe is mining on a large scale and there is a spirit stone mine protected by the mother nest, this output seems a bit meager.
But it needs to be emphasized that this is a spirit stone mine in the starry sky, not the kind found on the star land that may affect spiritual inspiration.
The spirit stone mines on Star Land basically involve spirit veins, and sustainable development must be considered when mining.
But generally speaking, the spiritual vein involves the spiritual vitality of the entire star continent, which is too much of a hindrance.
However, there is no such taboo in the spirit stone mines in the starry sky.
Therefore, this kind of spiritual stone mine, no matter how small it is, is a treasure. Anyway, it is picked up and has almost no cost, so it is definitely worth taking seriously.
The only regret is that there are no top-grade spirit stones, but... this is also understandable.
Without the nourishment of spiritual veins, even if one has high-quality spiritual stones, they will gradually degenerate to mid-quality or even ordinary spiritual stones.
Being able to discover spirit stone mines in the starry sky is already good enough, what else do you need?
During these fifteen days, no Asura's nest came near there, so the news should not have leaked out.
But how long this secret can be maintained, only God knows.
Then, immediately afterwards, the second spirit stone mine also began to be mined in full swing.
At the same time, Qu Jianlei and his group were teleported to the vicinity of the "Danghu" nebula through a temporary teleportation array.
The last time they came, they set up a teleportation array on a small meteorite here and got quite close.
However, this is the spiritual stone mine that they decided to forcibly mine in the end.
Because the current status of the two spirit stone mines may be exposed at any time, the mining of the third spirit stone mine must be accelerated.
The teleportation array was set up in advance in order to take advantage of this time difference.
The teleportation array is still more than 30 million to nearly 40 million kilometers away from the planet where the spirit stone mine is located.
But this time, Qu Jianlei did not release the sub-nest, but let Xizhao lead the way forward.
There are two mother nests stationed here, and the guards are much stricter than those of the previous two spirit stone mines, so they cannot be neglected.
Although the damage in the first two battles was not serious, one division-level ship was seriously damaged and two were slightly damaged...it was actually quite a big blow.
How many division-level ships does Digital Phantom have?
They quietly approached the planet, but were shocked to find that there was only one mother nest guarding it!
In order to confirm the news, they spent most of the day walking around the area.
It turned out that their observation was correct, there was indeed only one mother nest here, not two.
"Did one of them withdraw?" Xizhao sent out his divine sense, "But that's normal... After all, the war on the front line is a bit tense."
The Ashura's armed forces are very strong, and the losses on the front line are not very large compared to the entire tribe.
However, any normal society will seek a balance between supply and demand, and the absolute flexibility share will not be large.
If there are local losses, troops will inevitably be drawn from other places, but who can keep too much mobile force?
So it is normal that every place is stretched to the limit.
It is not excessive to withdraw a mother nest from here.
But Qu Jianlei was used to being cautious, "Let's take a look, what if it's a trap?"
"Then why don't we sneak into the mother nest directly?" Xi Zhao made a bold suggestion, "and see what tricks they are playing."
Qu Jianlei's heart was pounding. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go discuss it with everyone."
The previous two times were both strong attacks, which was to save everyone's combat power as much as possible, but this time, it will be the last time in the short term.
So he landed on the surface of the mother's nest and entered the cave to communicate with everyone.
Finally, everyone agreed that Jing Yuexin would bring Dong Fu, wearing an invisible cloak, and follow Xizhao into the mother nest.
Although she had never performed rituals in the cave, it would not be a big deal if she had the cooperation of the spirit of the weapon.
Qu Jianlei, wearing a cloud crown, was lying in ambush nearby, ready to strike at any time.
The stealth effect of the invisibility cloak is a bit useless at the moment.
Under normal circumstances, the Nascent Soul will not discover its existence.
However, if one senses carefully and purposefully, not to mention the human Yuanying, even the Eight-Armed Asura might find something wrong.
Fortunately, although this is a heavily guarded mine, in most cases, accidents always come from outside.
Therefore, the mother nest's security is relatively lax, and most of the security tasks are undertaken by small nests on the periphery.
This is actually normal. The mining of spirit stone mines takes decades or even hundreds of years, and the guarding force cannot be kept in a high tension all the time.
A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Jing Yuexin and Xizhao easily sneaked into the mother nest.
About ten minutes later, there was a sudden burst of fire from the mother nest, and in just a few seconds it became extremely chaotic.
The nearby nests all noticed the abnormality and began to pay attention.
About two minutes later, even the small nests on guard in the distance got the news and changed their routes and moved over.
At this moment, there was a slight fluctuation in the air, and a secondary nest appeared.
Its appearance was quite abrupt, but the surrounding nests were all paying attention to the movements of the mother nest, and some nests were even approaching the mother nest.
So much so that for a moment, no nest noticed it.
However, this negligence did not last long. After ten seconds or so, a nest discovered it.
Some nests even recognized its origins. "This is a nest of the Gangzui tribe. What do they want to do?"
There are almost no Asuras who are mining and guarding here who don’t know the Gangzui tribe.
After all, this mine was originally discovered by Gangzhui, but was later seized by the Ishigaki tribe, and later there was no dividend at all.
The rigid vertebrae were very troubled by this, but unfortunately no one stood up for them.
Now, the secondary nest of this tribe has suddenly appeared around the mine, and judging from its posture, its intentions are obviously not friendly.
