In the wind and snow, a cargo landspeeder was moving forward.
The weather today is a bit bad, and the snowflakes whipped up by the strong wind are constantly beating on the glass of the land carrier's bridge, seriously affecting Jiang Yao's sight.
However, Jiang Yao is not worried about any obstacles or dangers he will encounter. Although the wind and snow outside are strong, it will not have any impact on the cargo landspeeder he is currently on.
What's more, this land cruiser is currently cruising while suspended in the air five hundred meters above the ground. Even if there is something on the ground, unless it is a mountain that Jiang Jue cannot see and radar cannot scan, it will be a threat to the cargo land. There is no obstacle to sailing the ship.
Of course, even so, Jiang Jue did not relax his vigilance. As a navigator, he still watched the front and the radar display on the operating table conscientiously, discovering obstacles that needed to be avoided in a timely manner to avoid the freight traffic he was on. The ship is in danger.
"Xiao Jiang, how long do we have until we get to the next mining area?" He had just gone to eat and returned to the bridge. Seeing Jiang Yao still staring outside, he asked him.
"We are still about fifty kilometers away from the next mining area, and it will take about fifteen minutes to fly." Jiang Yao answered the captain's question and asked curiously: "Captain, how was our harvest on this trip? "
Because he was the navigator, Jiang Yao stayed on the bridge when the ship was parked in the previous mining areas and did not go down to help load and unload the cargo. Therefore, he did not know what they had gained on this trip.
Seeing the captain at this time, Jiang Yao wanted to make up for his curiosity.
Regarding this question, the captain replied with a smile: "The harvest has been good. All mining areas have been running smoothly, and they have basically exceeded the mining volume stipulated by the state. Our cabin is almost full."
"That's really good!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this.
Although their income is not linked to these gains, Jiang Yao is still sincerely happy that they can fill the cargo hold.
"Yes, I heard that the ship that Lao Wang and his friends took to the European route came back this time with a full cabin of cargo, which was filled with supplies that are urgently needed in the country." The captain was also talking about the news he had heard.
Although he had only recently become the captain of the cargo landspeeder, he knew each other and had connections with the captains of several other cargo landspeeders.
"European routes? Captain, I heard that the subsidies for European routes are higher. Is this true?" Jiang Yao couldn't help but become curious when he heard the captain mention the European routes.
As the navigator of the cargo landspeeder, he can receive additional supplies as subsidies every time he sets sail. This is Jiang Jue's main source of income and the guarantee for his family's livelihood. Naturally, he is also interested in matters related to it. Pay special attention to.
The captain seemed very indifferent to this, and just smiled jokingly: "What? You think my route is not profitable, and you want to go to Europe?"
"Hey, Captain, you know, I have two children and parents to support, so it's always good to earn more." Jiang Jue was a little shy and explained with a smile.
"I know your family has a heavy burden, but I still don't recommend you to go on the European route." The captain understood Jiang Jue's thoughts, but he did not want this young man to go on the European route: "There is a war in Europe. The European route is still relatively dangerous. Lao Wang and the others encountered an attack by flying alien creatures last time. If they had not been escorted by frigates at that time, they would have been in danger.
Your family has a heavy burden and you want to earn more. I can understand this, but if you want to do this, you must also consider your family. You are the main source of income for your family. If anything happens to you, your wife Who will raise the child? "
At this point, the captain became more serious and patted Jiang Yao's shoulder: "Of course, if you really want to take the European route, I can help you tell Lao Wang, but I still hope you will think more about it. Don’t be impulsive and take this risk just because you see the European route makes more money.”
Although the captain's remarks seemed a bit cowardly and conservative, Jiang Yao knew that the captain was doing it for his own good.
The reason why European routes have higher subsidies is because they are more dangerous.
Although according to the country's report, the situation on the European battlefield is gradually improving, Jiang Yao also knows that it is still very dangerous there. Although attacks by flying alien creatures do not happen often, those who run on this route will always encounter them. Once or twice.
He had heard before that a crew member on Lao Wang's ship mentioned by the captain was injured due to an attack by alien creatures.
This forced Jiang Yao to hold back his thoughts and think more about the consequences.
However, while considering whether he should give up the idea of sailing to Europe, Jiang Yao couldn't help but ask the captain: "Captain, do they make money by contracting these small mines? I heard that the country takes 70%! This can make some money ?”
"Why are they not making money? Don't think that the state's fee is high. You have to know that the industrial ships they mine are owned by the state, and the mining equipment is also owned by the state. Even the mines are contracted to them by the state. The 70% fee is already very reasonable. .” The captain himself has also been interested in contracting mines, so he naturally understands something: “As long as they work for two years, they only have to pay 50%, and the industrial ship will be theirs, and the ore they dug out will be theirs.” Everything you do is yours!
These ores can be exchanged for various good things provided by the country. I am drooling just looking at them! If I didn't need to run a boat, I would have wanted to recruit a group of brothers to rent a mine. If I worked hard for two or three years, I would have everything! "
"Then captain, why don't you go? If you want to go, I will definitely follow you!" Jiang Jue said to the captain half jokingly and half seriously at this time.
If the captain really had such an idea, Jiang Yao felt that there was a high possibility that he would join.
It's a pity that although the captain is moved, he doesn't really want to dig mines.
"Hey, what are you thinking about! Mining requires professional skills. What do we do? Ships! Those who run ships can run ships with peace of mind. Mining is not a job we can do." The captain shook his head with a little pity. Shaking his head, in fact he did ask about related matters, but the professional skills required for mining still dissuaded him.
And more importantly, it is a sense of responsibility.
The captain patted Jiang Yao, who seemed unwilling and regretful on his face, and smiled at him: "Young man, look at it, you have to know that we are also very important! They can mine here with peace of mind, but they only rely on our support. They transported supplies and carried away the ore they dug out!
Without us, they wouldn't be able to get supplies here, they wouldn't be able to transport the excavated ore, but they wouldn't be able to do anything! So don’t think that the work we do is not important. We are all contributing to national construction and doing our jobs well! "
