Chapter 1799: Split Into Two Groups

Qu Jianlei's equipment was prepared more than 20 years ago.

What he was thinking was that one day, minerals might need to be mined aggressively and quickly.

At that time, the target of his planning was not the spirit stone mine, but some energy stone mines.

Later, as the patterns of several worlds became clearer and clearer, Qu Jianlei really began to consider the possibility of mining spirit stone mines.

Anyway, no matter what he does, he is accustomed to doing his homework first - at worst, he will prepare for nothing, what can he lose?

But at this moment, it really comes in handy!

Seeing the frantic digging, screening and sorting of mining equipment, the Asuras were a little speechless.

Blood Hammer let out a long sigh, "I finally understand why the immortals use technological weapons to fight. It's so worry-free."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Hua Lei snorted coldly. She was a native of the Federation and hated Asura.

If it was an eight-armed one like the Giant Hammer, she might not have the guts to express her stance, but if it was a six-armed one like the Blood Hammer, it wouldn't matter.

Even if she is only an A-level.

"You..." Xue Hammer glanced at her, feeling very angry. Do you have a role to speak here?

However, the next moment, it took a gentle breath, then nodded with a smile, "You're right!"

Although it had a smile on its face, the muscles in the corners of its eyes were twitching, obviously trying to control it.

"You don't need to be duplicitous," Hua Lei was not used to it at all, "Why use spiritual energy when it can be solved with external force?"

"Okay, that's true," Xue Hammer was at a loss for words.

After cleaning the battlefield, Zi Lao led everyone away, leaving only a lot of machinery working there.

Jumai also saw this scene and couldn't help but ask questions on the way.

"How will mining end like this? Wouldn't it be terrible if an Asura breaks in?"

It just so happened that Duo Gan was on duty in the cave.

She was very shrewd in what she did. When she heard this, she just smiled lightly and said, "Technology also has its merits, you just don't understand!"

However, for Jumai, this kind of inadvertent and understatement is the most unacceptable.

Despite the ancestor's instructions, it couldn't help but say, "That might also expose it...or lose some spiritual stones?"

"It's rare for you to have such a heart," Dogan replied calmly, "But don't worry, we know what we are doing."

Juchui rolled his eyes helplessly when he heard this. He was really... so angry!

Fifteen days later, they came to another spirit stone mine and still operated according to the rules.

After two battles, one division-level ship was severely damaged, two were slightly injured, and countless ammunition and energy blocks were consumed.

But compared to the gains, the efforts are worth it. After all, spiritual stones cannot be bought even with money.

While cleaning the battlefield, a white light flashed in a division ship, and a woman appeared on the teleportation array.

This is Jia Shuiqing's clone, responsible for keeping an eye on the mining of the last spiritual stone mine.

In just fifteen days, a tribe had finished mining half of its mines in a century.

Of course there is nothing to say about this efficiency, but the loss is indeed huge.

Blood Hammer estimated that the loss would be more than half. All I can say is... it was pretty close to guessing.

In the process of mining, blasting, brutal excavation, etc. are really normal. It is a ghost if the losses are not high.

In fact, the overall mining cost is not low, and brute force cracking requires a lot of energy support.

Fortunately, for Qu Jianlei and others, the cost of energy blocks can be basically ignored.

On the contrary, it is the loss of machinery, which is more troublesome to repair and maintain.

Even if you can consider buying new ones, the process of modifying mechanical equipment also requires computing power and time, right?

In any case, Asura still needs about a hundred years to mine the spiritual stone mine, and they only took fifteen days to mine it.

It would be strange to say that there are no huge costs and shocking waste in this process.

However, Jia Shuiqing's clone reported a figure that satisfied everyone - ordinary spiritual stones cost just over 10 million yuan.

Based on this calculation, if An An An is mining steadily, it will definitely be more than 20 million yuan.

Although it takes a hundred years, it can produce 200,000 spiritual stones every year, which is not bad, right?

In addition, Jia Shuiqing also mined more than 200,000 medium-grade spiritual stones.

Speaking of which, for a tribe to mine with great fanfare and to have a spiritual stone mine guarded by the Brood, this output seems a bit modest.

But it needs to be emphasized that this is a spiritual stone mine in the starry sky, not the kind found on the star continent that may affect spiritual intelligence.

The spiritual stone mines on Star Continent basically involve spiritual veins, and sustainable development must be considered when mining.

But speaking more broadly, spiritual veins involve the entire Star Continent's spiritual intelligence, which is too much of a hindrance.

But the spirit stone mine in the starry sky has no such taboo.

Therefore, this kind of spiritual stone mine, no matter how small it is, is a treasure. It is picked up anyway, and it costs almost nothing. It is definitely worth taking seriously.

The only regret is that there are no high-grade spiritual stones, but... this is reasonable.

Without the nourishment of spiritual veins, even if there are high-grade spiritual stones, they will gradually degrade to mid-grade or even ordinary spiritual stones.

Being able to discover spirit stone mines in the starry sky is already pretty good, so what more bicycles are needed?

In the past fifteen days, no Asura's lair has been close to there, so the news should not have leaked out yet.

But how long this secret can last, only God knows.

Then, the second spiritual stone mine also began to be mined in full swing.

At the same time, Qu Jianlei and his party were teleported to the vicinity of the "Danghu" nebula through a temporary teleportation array.

The last time they came here, they set up a teleportation array on a small meteorite here, and they were moderately close.

However, this is the spiritual stone mine they decided to forcefully mine in the end.

Because the current status of the two spiritual stone mines may be exposed at any time, the mining of the third spiritual stone mine must be accelerated.

The teleportation array was set up in advance to make good use of this time difference.

The teleportation array is still more than 30 million and nearly 40 million kilometers away from the star where the spiritual stone mine is located.

But this time, Qu Jianlei did not release the sub-nest, but let Xizhao lead it forward.

There are two mother nests stationed here, which are much more strictly guarded than the previous two spiritual stone mines and cannot be neglected.

Although the damage in the previous two battles was not serious, one division-level ship was seriously injured and two were slightly injured... In fact, it was quite a big blow.

How many division-level ships are there under the name of the entire Digital Phantom? Don't be so troublesome.

They quietly approached the star, but were shocked to find that there was only one mother nest stationed here!

In order to confirm this news, they spent most of the day and circled around.

Facts have proved that their observations were correct. There was indeed only one mother nest here, not two.

"Has one been withdrawn?" Sunset sent out a divine sense, "But it's normal... After all, the war on the front line is a bit tight."

The armed forces of Asura are very strong. It is said that the losses on the front line are not very large compared to the entire tribe.

However, any normal society will emphasize a balance between supply and demand, and the absolute mobile share will not be much.

If there are local losses, they will inevitably be drawn from other places, but who will have too much mobile power?

So it is normal for all places to be stretched.

It is not excessive to withdraw a mother nest from here.

But Qu Jianlei was used to being cautious, "Let's see, what if it's a trap?"

"Then we might as well sneak into the mother nest directly," Xizhao gave a bold suggestion, "see what tricks they are playing."

Qu Jianlei's heart was pounding, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go discuss it with everyone."

The previous two times were strong attacks, which was to save everyone's combat power as much as possible, but this time, it was the last time in a short period of time.

So he landed on the surface of the mother nest and entered the cave to communicate with everyone.

In the end, everyone agreed that Jing Yuexin would lead the cave, wearing an invisible cloak, and follow Xizhao into the mother nest.

Although she had never sacrificed the cave, it would not be a big deal if she had the cooperation of the spirit of the weapon.

Qu Jianlei, wearing a cloud crown, ambushed in the surrounding area, ready to take action at any time.

The invisibility effect of the invisible cloak is now a bit useless.

Under normal circumstances, the Yuanying will not discover its existence.

But if there is a purpose to carefully perceive it, let alone the Yuanying of the human race, the eight-armed Asura may find something wrong.

Fortunately, although this is a heavily guarded mine, in most cases, accidents always come from outside.

So the mother nest is also relatively lax, and most of the guard tasks are undertaken by the small nests on the periphery.

This is actually normal. The mining of the spirit stone mine takes decades and hundreds of years, and the guard force cannot be highly tense all the time.

Only a thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but who can guard against thieves for a thousand days?

Jing Yuexin and Xizhao easily sneaked into the mother nest.

About ten minutes later, the mother nest suddenly heard a violent fire sound, and it became abnormally chaotic in just a few seconds.

The nearby nests all found the abnormality and paid attention to it.

About two minutes later, even the small nests on guard in the distance got the news and changed their routes to come over.

At this time, there was a slight fluctuation in the air, and a secondary nest appeared.

It appeared quite abruptly, but the surrounding nests were paying attention to the movements of the mother nest, and some nests were even approaching the mother nest.

So that for a while, no nest noticed it.

However, this negligence did not last long. After ten seconds, a nest discovered it.

Some nests even recognized its origin, "The nest of the Gangzui tribe, what do they want to do?"

Almost all the Asuras who mined and guarded here knew about the Gangzui tribe.

After all, this mine was originally discovered by Gangzui, but it was later seized by the Ishigaki tribe, and later there was no dividend.

The Gangzui tribe was very troubled about this, but it was a pity that no one stood up for them.

Now the secondary nest of this tribe suddenly appeared around the mine. Just looking at the posture, it is obvious that their intentions are not very friendly.
