He was full of praise for Wei Ling, and Xiao Duhuo smiled easily and contentedly:
"Yes, yes, there are specialties in the art. Brother Welling, look at these two brothers. They are broad and short, but they are also extremely powerful and tireless. They were born to make holes."
Wei Ling nodded, feeling that these two people were just like the humanoid tools that Xiao Duhuo went to the biological factory to customize, which was too incredible.
Half an hour later, Mangcao Qiancao had dug more than ten meters deep. The direction was also temporarily adjusted by Xiao Duhuo. After several changes, the final point was finally determined. The dig reached a depth of sixteen meters and stopped. .
After a while, the two round people walked out of the hole.
The digging tools on their hands have been removed and hung on their lower backs. Their hands have been put on gloves with a layer of plastic molecules, which isolates the golden thing held in their hands.
That is what the G205 metal gathers together on its own. Although it contains a lot of impurities, like a ball of grass roots and tree roots mixed with golden liquid, the color is already golden.
Xiao Duhuo had already put on his gloves, took two golden "hair balls", smiled happily, put the balls on a thick wooden board, and smashed them with a wooden hammer.
Because of the permeability of T205 metal, metal contact will directly penetrate into the metal, and physical contact will also penetrate into the human body. Therefore, wearing gloves and using wooden tools during this process is simply standard.
Soon, the two balls of hair turned into one ball, and most of the impurities were separated, finally forming a large ball of irregular but very heavy golden balls.
"Haha, it was a bumper harvest at the beginning, a little more than I expected, about 4.5 kilograms!"
Xiao Duhuo weighed the metal ball in his hand and gave an estimate of its weight.
Wei Ling was also quite excited. The purity of this metal was obviously lower than that extracted from Yuanbao by burning off impurities with electricity, but it was so fast.
Welling felt a little emotional:
"Awesome, I didn't expect there to be so many here. Isn't Brother Duhuo already worth over 100 million?"
"Where is it? Even though it is such a big group, it is already the aggregate of all T205 metals within a few kilometers.
Haha, if Brother Wei Ling keeps partnering with me, it may not take more than a few years to have a net worth of over 100 million.
I heard that the Kerala State Tax Police has been established, requiring Nuggets like us to conduct transactions and exchanges with the Kerala State Administration and collect heavy taxes. Maybe the future will not be so easy. "
Xiao Duhuo replied excitedly to the message, and made a gesture to the other two men who were on guard in the distance to recall them.
Several people returned to the vehicle and put the harvest from this location into a special plastic container.
The vehicle made a light side spin and flew to the next target location.
Half an hour later, the vehicle docked in the Gobi.
This location is even more ordinary. There is not even a small sand dune around to determine the direction. I really don’t know how Xiao Duhuo determined the location.
Just after they landed and stepped out of the vehicle, they saw a huge mechanical platform in the distance with more than a dozen tall mechanical legs, walking slowly over.
However, when the opponent saw the huge "Blue Bird" vehicle, they did not get too close and even retracted the firearms on the platform to avoid misjudgment.
When the platform was still thirty meters away from the group of people, they stopped. A burly man with Xixuan characteristics stretched out his shiny head on the platform and carefully identified Xiao Duhuo and his four subordinates, haha Laughing, I dropped a message to a few people:
"Ha, Xiao from the empire, you have changed your equipment. This flying vehicle is good. Where is your old small platform?"
Xiao Duhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and replied with a message:
"Old Baldy, is this something you care about? You'd better find something good with your heart and retire back to the Federation as soon as possible. Don't waste your life in the wasteland."
"Haha, Xiao, as expected, you must have replaced it with the Blue Bird vehicle used by the imperial army. You are really capable... I hope it is not an empty shell."
Without waiting for Xiao Duhuo's reply, the palace guard opened more than a dozen attack ports under several portholes of the Blue Bird, and all kinds of offensive and defensive weapons had already poked their heads out.
The bald man's laughter on the large platform suddenly froze. He laughed twice, threw out a message, and left in another direction:
"Hey, Xiao, don't be impulsive... The imperial military is not someone to be trifled with. You have to be careful of them crossing rivers and tearing down bridges to take advantage of others. People and money will be lost...
Mangcao Qiancao, you two guys with big heads full of alcohol, if your master dies one day, you can follow me..."
"I bother!"
Although Mangcao and Shencao didn't fully understand the sinister intentions in Baldhead's words, they still jumped up in anger.
Watching the other party leave, Xiao Duhuo sent a message to Wei Ling and Shou Gong:
"You see, Brother Wei Ling, this wasteland is a place where the weak eat the strong. There are no rules. Force is the rule. If we didn't have your vehicle today, we would most likely have no choice but to leave on our own."
Welling nodded:
"Very good. It's so straightforward. Everyone wants to seize rare resources, but handing them over to the empire is obviously a better choice. I admire Brother Duhuo even more."
It seems that it is not easy for Xiao Duhuo to survive in this wasteland without the support of his family, even if he just acts as a pangolin and forms a Nuggets team.
Mangcao Qiancao was so angry at the bald head that they blew the red beards under their round faces and looked angrily at the large platform leaving.
Immediately, Xiao Duhuo still carefully searched for a suitable location nearby, and the person who should be on guard naturally went to guard a little further away.
Welling and Gecko walked around leisurely. With their beyond visual range, there could be no threatening life lurking around.
Soon, with the efforts of Mangcao Qiancao, the metal at this location was also excavated.
The aggregate at this location is not deep, less than ten meters, but its weight is less than the previous one, less than 4 kilograms.
The vehicle rose again and flew to the third target.
After crossing several desolate mountains, we saw a basin full of rocks surrounded by mountains. In the middle of the basin, there was an oasis full of tall trees. In the middle of this oasis area, there was a small Green lake.
Looking down from the vehicle, it looks like there is a beautiful, open green eye in the vast Gobi desert.
The surrounding mountains are the eyebrows and eyebrow arches, and the tall woods around the lake are the eyelashes of the eyes.
"This is it, Qoltan Lingyu Lake. What's a bit troublesome is that I estimate that the gathering will be in the bottom area of the lake, which should not be more than ten meters deep under the lake.
The problem now is that if they go into the water to dig, the abilities of Mangcao and Shencao will not be used. The other two are not good at water and do not have diving equipment. "
Looking at the lake below, Xiao Duhuo felt a little worried.
The main reason is that in this inland Gobi, there is no way to replenish diving equipment.
His previous plan was to choose a location by the lake and dig diagonally downwards through the grass and water chestnuts. This would have made the distance to the underground passage quite long, which would have taken more time.
"It doesn't matter, I just have to go down and take a look first."
Welling naturally has no good method.
When he saw the green lake, he was a little frightened.
He thought that with his weight, he would probably sink into the mud once he got into the water.
Geckos are very good at water, but they are not good at digging.
The "Blue Bird" glided in a beautiful loop and flew to the center of the lake, preparing to choose a lakeside to land.
Suddenly, the warning red light in the vehicle cabin flashed, and a mechanically synthesized voice sounded:
"Encountered an attack! Encountered a conventional weapon strike!"
The guard suddenly noticed that someone was attacking the vehicle with a firearm from the woods on the south side of the lake.
The vehicle made a dexterous dodge and increased its altitude again.
Using the vehicle's long-range vision and various imaging devices, the gecko scanned the entire oasis woods and found that there were more than twenty people lurking in the woods on the south side, and more than ten people hiding in the woods on the north side.
“First park the vehicle outside the opponent’s attack range and see what kind of person is here.
Just now, they did not use anti-air missiles and anti-aircraft firepower, but only conventional firearms. The expulsion alert was more important than the actual attack. "
Welling made a brief judgment and sent out the message.
"Damn it, which team is this that is so arrogant and dares to use force without communication?
I passed by here last time and suspected that there were some resources under the lake, but I didn't find anyone else coveting them. "
Xiao Duhuo was a little annoyed because someone had taken the lead in the place he was optimistic about.
The other party was working here first, and fired a warning shot at the newcomers. If nothing else happened, the two groups were still facing each other.
According to general practice, if a large force is digging for gold here, it will usually place iconic equipment in a more obvious position to warn smaller forces not to get too close to intervene.
The pangolin teams of small and medium-sized forces generally will not take the initiative to open fire easily. They will send out people to investigate and negotiate with newcomers. If negotiations fail, they will threaten and fight. In the end, they will either retreat, continue, or cooperate and share.
For such conventional firearm attacks, the protection of the Blue Bird vehicle itself can be ignored.
However, without knowing whether the opponent had heavy firepower, the guard decided to comply with the young master's wishes and stop at the northern periphery to see who the opponent was.
The vehicle stopped at the base of the basin.
After a brief discussion, Xiao Duhuo left Mangcao and the other four people in the vehicle, and walked out of the vehicle with Wei Linggonggong.
Shou Gong reserved a certain amount of attack authority for Mangcao, and at the same time set the vehicle to be docked and on standby.
After getting off the equipment, Shou Gong squinted her eyes slightly and scanned her surroundings. All life forms within a radius of 500 meters were within her range of recognition.
Similarly, Welling's mental power scanning can also achieve this effect.
There are no people or large animals around for 500 meters.
It seemed that the unknown team of nuggets were all in the woods a few kilometers away.
"Let's go, Brother Duhuo, let's go and take a look. If the opponent is not too strong, we will try to share the victory."
Xiao Duhuo nodded and walked towards the woods first.
As the three of them approached the tall and lush woods, their hearts gradually became more alert.
During the detection of Shou Gong and Wei Ling, they found that more than ten people were walking towards the three of them.
Soon, the three of them discovered that more than ten people ran out of the forest, and everyone seemed to be very angry.
At the same time, both Welling and Gonggong discovered that the dozen or so people were all of a mixed race, and their clothing and equipment looked like those of Revenant Hunters and Diggers. Overall, there were no powerful armed exoskeletons or mechas.
The most important thing is that although these people looked angry, they did not show their weapons towards Welling and the other three.
Seeing that the other party had no aggressive tendencies, the guard also lowered the "hyacinth" in his hand slightly and held it in his hand as if it was a light weight.
