Chapter 133: Search for Energy Mines

In the past two days, Tyrande and her team explored the Warcraft Mountains again, but this time the main task was not to sweep the Warcraft to obtain magic crystals, so Yu Fei did not have many more magic crystals. However, Tyrande and her team transplanted a lot of ancient trees with an age of 500 to 1,000 years for Yu Fei, and there were also a few trees over 1,000 years old.

After these ancient trees were transplanted to Yu Fei's surroundings, the ancient trees over 1,000 years old were transformed into ancient protectors by the elves newly produced by Yu Fei, and then they were infused with Yuanling Wood Qi by Yu Fei and evolved into ancient guardians. As for the ancient trees between 500 and 1,000 years old, Yu Fei has been using the secondary plant enlightenment technique and restoring Yuanling Wood Qi for the past two days, so everyone can naturally think of his achievements.

At this time, around Yu Fei's mother tree, there are more than 130 ordinary and elite ancient guardians, and each ancient guardian has a giant wood warrior stationed in front of him. There are also about 20 extra giant wood warriors scattered around. Now, even without the protection of the night elves like Tyrande, Yu Fei can resist strong enemies with only these two hundred or nearly three hundred treemen.

I have to add that during the training of units and the enlightenment of treemen in the past few days, Gargant and the other dwarves were all under house arrest. Otherwise, if they saw some creatures suddenly emerge from the trees, even a fool would feel that something was wrong, not to mention that these dwarves looked honest and straightforward, but they were actually very smart. Under Tyrande's polite house arrest request and the cover of Yu Fei's branches and leaves, Gargant and the others did not find anything.

Seeing that the defense force was sufficient, Yu Fei asked Tyrande to stop looking for ancient trees. Because after finding the ancient trees that meet the transformation criteria, they have to use Yu Fei's branches with the plant-walking technique sealed to migrate; so in the past two days, Tyrande and the others were so busy that they didn't even have time to kill monsters and find energy mines, and Yu Fei's energy was already a little insufficient.

The next step is to let Tyrande and the others find new energy mines and then build a sub-base. However, the area that Tyrande's team can search is really insufficient. Anyway, there are no powerful monsters in the surrounding area, so it's better to divide the troops, Yu Fei thought.

Under Yu Fei's allocation, the existing night elves and wild wolves were roughly evenly divided into three teams, each led by a hero, to search in three different directions to explore whether there are larger energy mines. As for the remaining direction, Yu Fei gave it to Little Red.

Little Red has now passed the period of frequent sleepiness. Now it has the strength of the peak of level 7. It only needs an opportunity or a period of accumulation to reach the legendary level naturally. By then, Yu Fei will have one more high-end combat force under his command.

Yu Fei also had his considerations for sending Little Red alone to search in one direction. First of all, Little Red is a flying unit. As long as you pay attention to it, it is difficult for ground units to pose a threat to it. Secondly, as a level 7 peak monster, it is already the highest strength in the surrounding areas cleared by the night elves, and there is no super powerful monster that can threaten Little Red.

Then the only thing to consider is that a large number of low-level monster clusters will threaten Little Red, but unfortunately, low-level monsters cannot attack it under Little Red's dragon power. In addition, as a flying unit, there is no need to consider terrain factors. In Yu Fei's opinion, Little Red's search progress may be faster than the other three directions.

Sure enough, in the east where Little Red flew, the first energy mine was discovered - of course, this was not discovered by Little Red, it did not have the ability to penetrate the ground through mental power to find the mineral vein, and it was still Yu Fei who used Little Red as a medium to release mental power to scan it.

The reserves of this newly discovered energy mine are less than the energy mine that Yu Fei is currently mining. According to Yu Fei's scan, this mineral vein can collect about 150,000 units of energy stones. In Yu Fei's idea, it would be best if energy mines could be found in all four directions, so that he could use up the shares of the existing four sub-bases and increase the speed of energy acquisition to five times the original speed. In this way, whether it is climbing the remaining technology or building a moon well, there is no need to worry about resources.

Yu Fei ordered Little Red to land on the newly discovered energy mine. After the search of the other three teams has results, Yu Fei will let them escort a few "big elves" wrapped around him to the newly discovered energy mine to establish a sub-base. Like the elves, the four "big elves" on Yu Fei's body, which are a few sizes larger, have no attack power. In this Warcraft Mountain Range, there must be a strong enough guard force before Yu Fei dares to let them migrate.

After a while, there was news from the northern area that Illidan was searching. This time, Yu Fei didn't even use scanning. Illidan directly reported the news of the discovery of the energy mine to Yu Fei. When he heard the news, the clothes were also puzzled. How did Illidan know there was an energy mine? He didn't have a X-ray vision. If he had, he would have used it to spy on Tyrande.

But when Yu Fei turned his vision to Illidan, he immediately understood. Illidan actually discovered an open-air energy mine! Damn, I migrated from the north, how come I didn't find this energy mine that was obviously rich in reserves? It must be because I was in a hurry to migrate to the current base and didn't pay attention.

After scanning this open-air energy mine with his mental power, Yu Fei couldn't help but get a little excited. The reserves of this energy mine are the sum of the two energy mines discovered now! Its reserves reach 350,000 units of energy stones!

Wow, you are so prosperous now. Based on the collection rate of one hundred units of energy stones by the five elves every ten minutes, in less than twenty-five days, the sub-base you built will complete the collection of this energy mine. Three hundred and fifty thousand units of energy are available. How many night elf troops can this unleash?

Speaking of which, Yu Fei is quite depressed. Only five elves can collect from an energy mine at the same time, no matter how big the energy mine is. This limits the speed at which Yu Fei can obtain energy, which in turn reduces the speed at which his strength expands. Is there no way to speed up the collection of energy ores?

Yu Fei fell into deep thought. Only four "big elves" appeared on his body, which meant that he could only build four sub-bases at present. Then if you discover more than four energy mines at the same time, you can only collect four. This is really unpleasant. It is obvious that energy can be obtained faster, but the speed is slowed down due to the limit of collection quota.

By the way, this is the real world, and it doesn’t have to be limited to the settings in the game. Like this open-air energy mine, many energy stones are scattered directly on the ground, so why can't the night elves directly pick up these energy stones? It is impossible that the energy stones picked up cannot be transformed, and the night elves must pick up energy stones faster than the elves.

Following this idea, Yu Fei thought that he could hire some specialized mining personnel to collect energy stones. Even energy stones found underground or in mines can actually be collected. Think about the kobold soothsayer who has a weak presence under his command. Aren't the kobolds a clan that is very good at mining? Among the kobolds, there are systems such as kobold tunnellers and kobold foreman.

Narrowing his eyes, Yu Fei had an idea. Tyrande can be asked to take the kobold soothsayer back to the Windwhispering Forest to see if he can gather some kobolds. Anyway, this mutated kobold soothsayer was originally the leader of the kobold clan. Even if there are other powerful kobolds, after Tyrande and the others deal with them, it should be easy for the kobold soothsayer to gather them.

At that time, all the kobolds under his command will be sent over to work as miners, and the energy collection speed will definitely increase a lot. Well, this is a good idea. Once the other two teams have finished searching, let Tyrande implement it. Yu Fei made the decision to let Tyrande return to the Windwhisper Forest.

The next few hours were spent in Yu Fei using Tyrande and Maiev as mediums to scan the energy mines with his mental power. To Yu Fei's disappointment, no energy deposits were found in the south and west directions - at least in the closer areas. Yu Fei's mental power only scanned out the existence of some metal veins, and among them, the only one that could bring energy income to Yu Fei was a gold vein with a reserve of 300,000 units.

Three hundred thousand units of gold is equivalent to 30,000 units of energy. Now Yu Fei no longer looks down on this "little" energy. In fact, it is not too little, but it is a bit uneconomical to build a sub-base there, not to mention that the speed at which elves collect gold to obtain energy is twice as slow as directly collecting energy mines. The gold mines that are not too rich in reserves are not suitable for this time. For Yu Fei, it is really useless.

However, if the plan to gather the team of kobold miners is successful in the next few days, we can consider letting the kobolds collect these gold mines. In addition to being converted into energy, gold will definitely be used to communicate with the outside world in the future. Judging from the information obtained from Gargant, the three most common currency systems in online novels are gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. What? Ask me the most common currency? Of course it is the RMB with the portrait of our great ***** printed on it~~

Yu Fei, who couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, ordered the teams sent from four directions to rush back to where he was so that he could escort the two "big elves" to establish sub-bases at the two newly discovered energy mines. I was worried that there were not enough "big elves" just now, but I didn't expect that there are two extra ones now.
