The deputy approached Wang Jiacheng: "Mr. Wang, what are we doing? Are we going to mine in the future?"
"Haha, it's almost the same, but it's not exactly the same. We can only play temporary diggers once at most!" Wang Jiacheng said confidently while looking at the gradually taking shape of the distribution map of the rocky planet's resources.
The holographic image has already appeared in one place where the content of rough blue ice is as high as 62%. Although the reserve is not large, it is still a considerable fortune. According to the market price, the value is 500 million yuan.
Thick blue ice is a precious metal reserved by central banks around the world and can be freely exchanged with local legal currencies. It has also been the recognized currency of alien worlds for 100 million years, equivalent to gold on earth.
Before the Universal Federation of Intelligent Life dominated the universe, rough blue ice was the only hard currency recognized by all countries.
Later, as the situation in the universe eased, the United States of Bute implemented an open policy to absorb immigrants from all over the universe. Any ordinary person could directly elect their government officials anywhere, and strictly protected private property and other measures to benefit the people, which triggered a large number of people. Scientists, capitalists, and technicians poured in like crazy.
This allowed the United States of Bute to catch up from behind in just 50,000 years, surpassing the established powers such as the Saxon Kingdom and the Frankish Republic, and become the most powerful country in the universe with outstanding credibility.
Taking advantage of the favorable situation, the United States of Byte equated the Byte Yuan with thick blue ice, and soon allowed the Byte Yuan to travel to all countries in the universe.
Although Byte Yuan has greatly weakened the influence of the rough blue ice, the rough blue ice is still the unrecognizable first currency in the universe.
The reason why thick blue ice is so sought after by intelligent life has a lot to do with its harsh formation conditions. Only in the early stages of the formation of a super-giant black hole in the center of a galaxy, if a planet orbiting at the edge of its event horizon accidentally approaches the event horizon infinitely and is ejected at high speed, can coarse blue ice be formed inside.
The strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces inside the thick blue ice have all been destroyed, leaving only gravity still at work, but they will not disintegrate, which is extremely magical.
The material properties of such thick blue ice are very stable and will not change for hundreds of millions of years. Its appearance is crystal clear and it emits a dazzling blue fluorescence, which is very beautiful.
Rare, stable in nature, and beautiful in appearance, rough blue ice has naturally become the precious metal of the alien world---the equivalent of currency.
"Ding dong!" After the creation of the resource distribution hologram of Rock Star, Wang Jiacheng frowned, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
This result made him dissatisfied. Except for a small area with a high concentration of rough blue ice on the entire planet, there were no surprising discoveries elsewhere. Even ordinary mineral resources were pitiful and had no mining value.
But if you think about the history of the Pirate Nebula, you can understand it. After all, it is said that it is the Yunmeng Galaxy of the Gupanhua Empire. All its resource planets and life planets were destroyed during the war years.
If the minerals on the rocky planet had mining value, they would have been classified as resource planets and disappeared into the universe.
Wang Jiaer led his people and landed on the rock star with various mining equipment, engineering robots, and transport robots, and arrived at the place where the rough blue ice was.
This is a long and narrow valley, the air is full of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero, and the surroundings are eerily quiet. The arrival of Wang Jiaer and his party broke the tranquility here.
The mountain wind whistled, and Wang Jiaer patrolled back and forth among the rocks in the mountains, trying to find some clues as to why the legendary rough blue ice in the ninth reserve warehouse was so rare.
"Mr. Wang, look at the many giant stones of different sizes in this valley, as well as the ridges and ridges extending toward the bottom of the valley. Are there any traces of human processing?" the deputy said.
Wang Jiacheng looked around and found that this was indeed the case. They found that the location where the thick blue ice was stored happened to be a few ridges. Where the ridges connect to the valley bottom, there are many large rocks scattered around. Where the depression is connected to the valley bottom, there are more rocks.
Wang Jiacheng suddenly understood that those bulges were restored after being integrated into the thick blue ice according to their original shapes. Those depressions were prepared to be melted into the thick blue crystal. For some reason, they gave up temporarily, so the stones were thrown at the bottom of the valley. Those were nothing. The bulges that are not there should turn into depressions before they have time to easily form rough blue ice. Based on the size of this valley, if all the bulges were incorporated into the rough blue crystal, the value would be worth trillions of dollars.
"Mr. Wang, we found an interesting place." An employee reported.
Following this employee, Wang Jiacheng and his deputy came to a stone chamber dug into the rock wall. The stone door of the stone chamber was severely weathered, and powder would fall out when touched with hands.
The space inside was very small, just over ten square meters, and there were burnt marks. Most of the instruments inside were melted by the high temperature. It was unclear what they were used for. Only a square box seemed not to be completely damaged.
"Mr. Wang, this is a communicator. It may record some useful information, but the energy has been exhausted." the employee said.
Wang Jiacheng ordered the communications officer on the salvage ship to come here with an energy block to see if the communicator could be activated.
Not long after, a thin young man came over, fiddled with the communicator for a while, and said: "This is a machine from 200,000 years ago. It is partially damaged and cannot work properly!"
Wang Jiacheng said anxiously: "I don't need it to work properly, I just need to read its last communication record!"
"Okay, let me give it a try!" The young communications officer connected the energy block to the communicator.
Following a burst of sizzling energy, blurry and flickering holographic images and sounds appeared in the communicator.
The first paragraph: "Qingyan Star, I am the Sacred Artifact Guard Fleet... I am surrounded... In the Core 32B asteroid belt... There are too many enemies... I'm afraid..." The last part is huge. The explosion was silent.
Second paragraph: "The 9th... Warehouse, the Sacred Artifact Fleet... Destroyed, rough blue ice... Lost... Immediately... Destroyed... Traces..." The image is of a blurry figure wearing an admiral's uniform. people.
Others are all kinds of irrelevant communication records.
"Mr. Wang, this?" The deputy was a little confused.
Wang Jiacheng smiled bitterly for a moment and said: "You are right, we found the legendary 9th warehouse, but for some reasons, the main force transporting thick blue ice was destroyed halfway, so this so-called 9th warehouse is a mess. project!"
After working part-time for a period of time, rough blue ice worth 500 million was loaded onto a salvage ship. Wang Jiacheng's team rushed to the Cory 32B asteroid belt non-stop to see the outcome of the Hallow Fleet mentioned in the communicator.
Looking at the large number of warship wreckage floating aimlessly among the meteorites in the Cory 32B asteroid belt in space, Wang Jiacheng was very emotional.
There are more than 20 battleships and countless super-giant transport ships here forming a large battlefield ruins. If they successfully reach Qingyan Star, then the astronomical amount of thick blue ice they carry will be captured by Wang Jiacheng.
The various scanners on the salvage ship were turned on, but no signal from the thick blue ice was obtained. The battlefield swept by the Federation of Intelligent Life in the Universe that attacked the Saint Artifact Fleet was very clean.
Suddenly Wang Jiacheng wanted to play a little joke on the world, and made a star map here, copied it in large quantities and distributed it to the crew, letting them sell it to make some extra money. After all, this sacred vessel fleet also once sailed in the universe carrying huge wealth. existence, it would be an interesting thing for more beginners to come here to see the long-famous 9th Reserve Warehouse Transport Fleet in this universe.
Wang Jiacheng never expected that his little joke would later lead Gong Feng, a rookie in the world of exploration, to come here based on the star map and take away the crystal icosahedron, which would then be owned by Fiya, the light brain of the Kabasi Empire. Gained self-awareness and became Avril Lavigne.
Back in the United States of Byte, Wang Jiacheng sold his rough blue crystal to the First Bank of the Universe in exchange for 580 million Byte dollars, which was considered a huge profit.
The news that the 9th backup warehouse was found by Wang Jiacheng quickly spread around the world, and the entire legendary treasure hunt was even made into a movie by a famous director.
As a result, Wang Jiacheng became a celebrity in the adventure world. His smart and unconventional style was sought after by everyone. Many people compare him to Peng Yu, who was the first to find treasure in the Pirate Nebula.
Considering the popularity of Treasure No. 9, this comparison is not an exaggeration at all. The location of Warehouse 9 is very clear and has puzzled the world for nearly 80,000 years, but no one has been able to find it.
Because no one expected that the people of the Gupanhua Empire would hide it by melting the rough blue ice into the rock again. This method seems very simple, but as long as you don't break through the mindset, you will never think of it.
It's a bit like being dark under the lamp. In a house at night, an oil lamp was lit on a square table. The light illuminated the surroundings and dispersed the darkness. Everyone's eyes will involuntarily focus on the area illuminated by the oil lamp, while ignoring the small shadow under the lamp.
On Qingyan Planet, waves of explorers will focus on exploring various large-scale underground intelligent creations or above-ground architectural ruins. These are the practices of their colleagues who have placed large amounts of materials. For tens of thousands of years, they have all failed.
This turned the 9th Backup Warehouse, a seemingly insignificant treasure, into a terrifying mission. Knowing where it is, but no one can find it, makes it even more frightening. Before Wang Jiacheng, there was even an explorer who claimed that he met God on Qingyan Star. God told him that only the Son of God can discover the 9th backup warehouse.
Therefore, the media in the United States of Butte gave Wang Jiacheng a nickname, which was 'Son of God'!
This is all a joke, Wang Jiacheng will not take it seriously, but he is very happy that everyone ranks him with Peng Yu. When Wang Jiacheng was a child, his dream of becoming an interstellar explorer came from reading Peng Yu's adventure stories.
After getting the funds, Wang Jiacheng also learned from Peng Yu and registered a company called Kaiwu Salvage Company. The origin of the name is based on an idiom in the Panhua Empire: "Tiangong Kaiwu". Peng Yu's company is called Tiangong Salvage. In order to pay tribute to his idol, Wang Jiacheng chose the word "kaiwu" as the name of the company. It means following in the footsteps of your idol and devoting yourself to space exploration.
