The twenty mines under the jurisdiction of David Base are very scattered, with some being only tens of kilometers away and some hundreds of kilometers away.
The manpower of the base is limited, and it is impossible to send a large number of personnel to each base for defense.
The savages can concentrate their efforts to attack some mines, making the base defenseless.
In the past, the savages followed the usual practice of attacking the mines in the middle of the night, controlling the workers, and then negotiating with David, demanding a certain amount of Amethyst Crystals before releasing the miners.
Things have changed now.
Some of the people from the Japanese island country who escaped last time somehow integrated into the savage team?
With the shrewdness of the Japanese, they helped the savages plan the robbery and stole a large number of Amethyst crystals excavated that day.
However, the savages also paid the price of several deaths.
After returning to the base, Luo Meng came over to play chess with Yang Xiao in the evening.
After the two played a game, they sat together drinking tea and chatting. Yang Xiao asked:
"Captain Luo, can I ask you a question?"
"Master Yang, you're welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
"Why do the savages want to rob the Purple Source Crystal Stone from the mine?"
"this?"
Luo Meng hesitated.
Yang Xiao saw Luo Meng's hesitant expression and smiled:
"Haha, if Captain Luo finds it inconvenient, just let me know. Don't force it."
Luo Meng smiled awkwardly and said:
"Master Yang, you are no longer an outsider now. I can tell you. However, we are forbidden to tell the miners this news. Therefore, after you know it, please keep it secret. You can just know it yourself."
"Well, that's natural. Webmaster Dai is applying for Wu Xing's temporary ID card for me. I also want to integrate into your society as soon as possible. Naturally, I won't cause trouble for myself.
The earth is so far away, I guess I will never go back in this life. Stationmaster Dai and Captain Luo are both good to me. Now that everything is stable and I have a beautiful woman by my side, I decided to settle down in Wu Xing. Captain Luo, don’t worry. alright. "
Yang Xiao said, looking at Leah who was standing beside him.
After hearing Yang Xiao's words, Leah's face turned slightly red.
Luo Meng nodded. He also understood that Yang Xiao had finally climbed out of being absentee with his Go skills. He was very lucky and would not cause any trouble to himself.
Very few miners can climb out of the mine in just 2 months like Yang Xiao. The final fate of most miners is very sad, and they usually die in the mine.
They were either attacked and killed by savages, eaten by monsters around them, or died of exhaustion in the mines.
Long-term and high-intensity mining work has a very damaging effect on the body, and even taking Xiaoxuedan every day cannot fundamentally change it.
"Actually, it's not a big secret. All of us know it. Only the miners don't know. Not letting the miners know is also to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Purple source crystals, as the energy source for genetic evolution, cannot be directly absorbed. The gene potions in the gene store are all synthesized using purple source crystals. However, it requires high technology to synthesize. At present, the crystals can be synthesized into gene potions. Yes, we are the only ones on the Witch Star."
Luo Meng paused, feeling quite proud, and then continued:
"After thousands of years of mining, the purple source crystals on our Witch Star have been mined to almost the same level. The remaining mines have been sealed up and left to future generations.
This Purple Source Planet is the planet with the richest Purple Source Crystals we have discovered so far. After it was discovered more than a hundred years ago, we have been coming here to open up wasteland, establish mines, and collect Purple Source Crystals.
Because Purple Source Star has a large amount of Purple Source Crystals underground, the evolution level of the monsters on this planet is very high. The savages here also evolved directly from apes.
There are always exceptions. The savages here don’t know where they learned the knowledge. They discovered that after grinding the Purple Source Crystal into fine powder and feeding it to animals, after a while, the flesh and blood of those animals will have far more powerful properties than ordinary animals. To obtain the evolutionary energy of monsters, savages rely on eating the flesh and blood of these animals to enhance their genetic evolution capabilities. "
Yang Xiao was stunned and asked:
"Are you afraid that the miners will also swallow the crystal powder directly?"
"It's not just miners. It is said that some people have swallowed it directly before, but it is of no use at all. Purple Source Crystal cannot be directly absorbed by the human body.
Our Gene Evolution Research Institute on Wu Star has specifically studied this issue. The final conclusion is that after dozens of generations of reproduction, the monsters on this planet have gradually adapted to the environment of Ziyuan Star and have certain effects on Ziyuan Crystal. Absorption ability, this ability is not possessed by animals on other planets. "
"What about the savages on this planet? They can't absorb it directly?"
"No, they can only use this strange method to absorb evolutionary energy indirectly by eating the flesh and blood of monsters. In addition, the utilization rate of crystal stones in this method is very low. The utilization rate is only about 10%. It is completely It’s a waste of resources.”
"But for savages, it's the best way, right?"
"Yes, savages work with monsters. They can control some monsters by feeding purple source crystals to the monsters. After the monsters grow to a certain level, they kill them and eat meat and drink blood. This evolutionary path is the main evolution of savage genes. Way."
The two chatted for a while, and then Luo Meng said goodbye and left.
In the following days, David personally took dozens of Tiet guards and a dozen men in black cloaks and took two spaceships to search for the savages in the nearby forest.
However, it is not easy to find hidden savages in the vast mountains.
After searching for a week, the result was nothing.
Yang Xiao went to the mine where Du Tianxing and others were, and warned them not to resist if they encountered savages coming to snatch things, as it was important to save their lives.
The days that followed gradually returned to calm. Yang Xiao still played chess with David every day. David's chess skills improved greatly, and Yang Xiao's own mental strength also improved significantly.
Yang Xiao can now play chess with David using Tian Luo Yu's Go. Although the speed of using mental power to control the chess pieces is still a bit slow, it is still much smoother than at the beginning.
The relationship between Yang Xiao and Liya became more and more harmonious. Liya even had true feelings for Yang Xiao, and the two of them had a great time together.
The years are quiet and everything looks beautiful.
Yang Xiao has already applied for a temporary ID card. According to David, it will take about 2 months to officially get it.
More than ten days after the last time the savages robbed a mine, the savages robbed a mine again. By the time David led his team there, the savages had already disappeared without a trace.
David was jumping up and down with rage.
"I must kill these savages. I can't bear it anymore. Enough is enough."
When David lost his temper at his subordinates, Yang Xiao happened to be there.
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:
"Stationmaster Dai, there must be a reason why the savages launch attacks so frequently. They snatched a large number of crystal stones from the mine last time. Did time run out so quickly?"
