...
Seven days later.
During these seven days, the Constant Star Train has been mining in the islandâs center. Theyâve never mined so effortlessly before, with absolutely no monsters to disturb them, it felt as safe as a beginnerâs zone, not like a high-level area at all.
The seabed is mostly located in the deep sea, the higher the level, the deeper the activity area.
There are almost no monsters on the sea surface.
Water and land mind their own business.
It was utterly safe and peaceful.
Seven daysâ time is more than enough for many things to happen. The mining robots are busy day and night, working 24/7. When it comes to labor, humans are still far behind robots.
Currently, there are 50,000 mining robots diligently working.
Initially, there were only 10,000 mining robots, but during mining, three of them were accidentally crushed by a large tree and were scrapped on the spot. Chen Mang couldnât be bothered to have Ai repair them. At only 2,500 units of iron ore each, it wasnât worth the effort of repairing.
Coincidentally, a lot of iron ore was mined at that time.
billion units of iron ore were consumed on the spot to create 40,003 more mining robots.
Just to round up the numbers.
A full 50,000 mining robots, endlessly cutting down in the islandâs center day and night.
The efficiency is nothing short of perfect!
Forget about Level 4 mines; even Level 3 mines were not spared. Even the smallest resource is valuable. But there are no Level 2 mines; the lowest grade in this region is Level 3.
The scene looks exceptionally lively.
"This is my army of robots."
Chen Mang stood inside the train compartmentâs floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking countless robots laboring outside with a slight smile on his lips. He was in a good mood these past days, with various good news coming frequently, turning his original worries about the future into anticipation.
As long as no accidents happen.
If we maintain the current growth rate, the train will eventually develop to the extent that it can confront the Insect Race Civilization.
From the "Cyber Mine," good news also came flooding in.
In these seven days, they have already obtained three units of Level 9 iron ore, a much higher probability than before when seven days could pass without obtaining even one.
After implementing Da Maoâs method, the belief among the Cyberminers has become increasingly stronger. As everyone falls asleep, they hold a pickaxe in their arms.
This wasnât the case before.
After all, mining in dreams doesnât have real-life benefits, but to enhance their sense of belief, everyone is researching ways to boost their belief, although it sounds somewhat theological...it really works.
"Perhaps, belief is a kind of energy field that creates a pathway?"
Chen Mang contemplated, trying to explain this behavior with something, but soon realized it was difficult to explain, at least with the information he currently knew. Anyway, it was beneficial for the Constant Star.
Even over at Neon City, various data has been consistently increasing.
Since opening daily for the past seven days, the total revenue in these seven days is 240 million units of iron ore.
Although on average, daily earnings are less than before, when it was open for one day per week only. But now itâs open every day, and with new members brought in by the Train Captains and Mondoâs hard work, the number of Train Captains will continue to increase.
Future earnings will also grow more and more.
Even Biaoziâs side has received much good news.
All guard members can now operate blue-grade "Thunderbolt" mechas, and Biaozi himself can operate a purple-grade "Pope" mecha. The mecha squad is officially formed!
Of courseâ
In the universe, a mecha squadâs presence holds no significance.
Just like the recent destruction of a civilization on the "Star System Map," there was no ground troop invasion or anything like that. If your planet lacks adequate defensive measures, you face a main cannon that melts the planet directly.
The mecha squad is more often used for stationing on a planet or maintaining internal order, etc.
The role ground troops can play in the universe is nearly zero.
As for scenes of one person piloting a mecha in the rain and fighting a train, itâs completely impossible. Even the highest-grade mecha against a train... itâs self-destruction.
Theyâre entirely on different levels.
...
With 50,000 mining robots, mining efficiency is extremely fast. In another ten days, all mines on this island will be fully mined, acquiring a large amount of iron ore. After all, there are several Level 6 mines here.
One Level 6 iron mine equals 1 billion units of iron ore!
"I wonder if the Pink Area and the Seven-Color Region have Level 7 iron mines?"
"According to the scale, 10 million units for Level 4, 100 million units for Level 5, 1 billion units for Level 6, if the Seven-Color Region has Level 7 mines, it should be 10 billion..."
"10 billion units of iron ore, huh."
Chen Mang sat on the chair, looking at the distant forest almost uprooted entirely, murmuring, "Is there really a need to go to the mineral star? I feel itâs better to stay in the Seven-Color Region, wait for the mines to refresh. I feel resources gained might be more."
"..."
The AI in the train compartment remained silent for a moment, then softly said, "On the train, Water Blue Star is a âHabitable Planet,â and the mineral star is a âResource Planet.â The names should clearly indicate the difference between the two, right?"
"When you go to the mineral star, you will understand why there is such a name as the mineral star."
"In the universe."
"The mineral star is an absolute strategic resource. If not for the mineral star near Water Blue Star being too immature, Train Captain, you would have the chance to witness an interstellar war with your own eyes."
