After dinner, David and Lao Qin went to the hotel and walked to the home of City Lord Jino.
Yang Xiao and Qin Lu were playing chess in the room.
After playing two games, Yang Xiao asked:
"Brother Qin, do you have a map of Ziyuan Star here?"
"What do you want that thing for? The gene store sells it."
"Let's go buy it now."
"Huh? Let's play one more game of chess before we go."
"There will be plenty of opportunities to play chess in the future."
Qin Lu had no choice but to accompany Yang Xiao to the gene store to buy a map.
The map is a three-dimensional map, a ball the size of an egg. If you gently press a button on it, a three-dimensional projection map will appear immediately, with the mountains and rivers clearly visible.
If you want to check the specific situation of a certain place, you can also click with your finger to enlarge the local map several times, up to about a hundred times.
Back at the hotel, Yang Xiao opened the earth, first took a look at the general situation, and then found the city of Karachi and the location of David's base.
"This is where?"
Yang Xiao saw a large blank area near David's base without any markings.
Qin Lu took a look and said:
"It's a virgin forest, thousands of square kilometers."
"Why are there no signs of the mine or base here?"
On the map, the most important marks are bases and mines. If there are mines and bases somewhere, there will be a mine sign on the map, indicating that there is a mine here.
Qin Lu took a closer look and said:
"This primeval forest is very troublesome. It is a gathering place for savages. It is almost impossible to open a mine here. If I am not wrong, Uncle David's mine should be frequently attacked by savages."
Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"That's right, the nearby savages come over from time to time to attack. Not long ago, the savages killed dozens of miners in the base and destroyed two mine shafts. I was almost killed by the savages,"
After Qin Lu heard this, he sighed and said:
"There is no way around this. The Dragon Empire, the White Elephant Empire and the Snow Leopard Empire held a joint meeting and unanimously decided to leave a certain amount of living space for the savages to protect this unique species.
The area close to Uncle David's base is a protected area for savages. There are twenty or thirty similar protected areas on Ziyuan Star. "
Qin Lu turned the map and pointed out several places to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao took a quick look and found that those places were all virgin forests without any signs of bases or mines.
Yang Xiao thought for a while and said:
“Is there any way to mine in these areas?”
Qin Lu was stunned and said:
"Why, don't you want to open a mine?"
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"If I want to open a mine, what are the requirements?"
“It takes money and people.”
"How much?"
"Most Ziyuan crystals are found in rock formations hundreds of meters deep underground. Just digging a mine a hundred meters deep will cost 100 million crystal coins, establish a base, hire personnel to defend, purchase a spaceship, and apply for an orange in the gene store. Defense light curtain array, etc.
A base that is mature and can operate on its own will be difficult to operate without a starting capital of one billion crystal coins. "
"Um,"
Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"If I could find a spar mine and get you to partner up, would you be interested?"
"As long as you can find the mineral vein, I will provide the funds."
Qin Lu said boldly.
In Ziyuan Star, what is really important is the crystal mineral veins. The current crystal mineral veins have basically been divided up. If new mineral veins can be found, money is definitely not an issue, and many people will rush to join.
Yang Xiao calmed down, enlarged the map of the blank area near David's base a hundred times, and examined it carefully.
According to Qin Lu, this area belongs to the protected area of the savage tribe. If you want to mine here, you must obtain the consent of the savages.
Will the savages agree to mine?
"Do you know why the savages need the crystal mine?"
Yang Xiao asked.
"Huh? I know. Savages use crystal mines to feed the beasts in the forest to increase the evolutionary energy in the flesh and blood of these beasts. When the beasts grow up, they eat the flesh and blood of these beasts to obtain genetic evolutionary energy. This is Thousands of years of savage tradition.”
"How did you know?"
Yang Xiao looked at Qin Lu.
Qin Lu chuckled and said:
"Don't you know where I'm from? I'm from Wu Xing. Wu Xing has been studying Ziyuan Star for hundreds of years. I know all about the monsters, savages, crystal Ziyuan, forests, etc. on Ziyuan Star. ,
Because my father mines in Ziyuanxing and stays away from home all year round, I have read many books about Ziyuanxing since I was a child. "
"Ah, so you used to be a left-behind child?"
"Left-behind children? What do you mean?"
Qin Lu looked at Yang Xiao with some confusion.
"It's the kind of child whose parents work outside and leave the child at home with their grandparents. Aren't you the one?"
When Yang Xiao said this, Qin Lu thought for a moment. It seemed that it was really the case, and he was silent for a few seconds.
"What do you think we need to do if we want to mine in the Savage Reserve?"
"It's easy to get the consent of the savages, but it's almost impossible."
"Why?"
"For no reason, the savages and us humans have been mortal enemies for hundreds of years, fighting each other.
The savages used to be the masters of Ziyuan Star. Ever since our Great Dragon Empire discovered the spar mine on Ziyuan Star, they have been in disaster and have never had a good life again.
You are from Earth. Don’t you hate our Witch Star’s invasion of Earth? "
Qin Lu was outspoken and blurted out at once.
Yang Xiao looked at Qin Lu,
There was silence in the room, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Qin Lu knew that he had made a mistake, scratched his head and said awkwardly:
"Yang Xiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this, it hurt you."
Yang Xiao smiled bitterly and said:
"To be honest, I don't have any hatred in my heart now. I can't even guarantee my basic survival, so how can I have the time and ability to hate others.
There is a saying on our planet that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. If our planet is invaded, we can only blame ourselves for being too low-level and too backward. Even if you people from the Witch Star don't come to attack the earth, it is inevitable that people from other planets will not attack. Us, what do you say? "
Qin Lu nodded and said:
"You are right. Just like us in the Witch Star now, the weak are also bullied. And outside of the Witch Star, we are also facing threats from other powerful alien races."
"Is there any other planet that can threaten your Witch Star?"
Yang Xiao was shocked.
"Haha, do you think we, Wu Xing, are the number one overlords of the universe? We're far from it."
