Chapter 321 The Decision to Lose Money

After several days of experiments, Duan Ming and others still failed to make the rock beast cubs produce Sigma Gold again.

After realizing that this experiment might not produce results for a while, Duan Ming also decisively withdrew.

He handed the matter over to his subordinates to continue.

"Although we failed to obtain Sigma Gold again, the Sigma Gold produced by the rock beast cubs before was enough for the time being."

Duan Ming looked at the Sigma Gold on the experimental table and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"A batch of the previously discovered Xikerao crystal mine has been mined, and the core components of the space anchor mining car can also be made.

However, if Sigma gold is added to the drill bit of the mining car, can the mining efficiency of the mining car be further improved?"

The scientific research robot next to him seemed to understand what Duan Ming was thinking, and responded: "Master, if Sigma gold is added to the drill bit of the mining car, it can greatly improve the mining efficiency of the mining car.

In addition, the metals added with Sigma gold are often extremely durable. If this is really done, the space anchor mining car we make can completely avoid the drill bit replacement link, greatly saving the consumption of special alloys.

From a long-term perspective, this is more resource-saving. But in the short term, the Sigma gold added to the drill bit alone is equivalent to a space anchor mining car.

The resources paid and the gains are not equal, which is a waste of resources in a sense."

Duan Ming also nodded in agreement with the analysis of the scientific research robot.

However, Duan Ming and the scientific research robot thought differently. Duan Ming thought whether this could further liberate the productivity of the base.

The reason why Duan Ming was attracted to this space-time anchor mining vehicle was because it was convenient enough, and it could even be fully automated from mining to transportation.

But this mining vehicle also has disadvantages.

Due to the use of space anchor technology, these mining vehicles can almost ignore the transportation time. So there is more time for mining.

But as the mining time increases, the wear of its mining drill will also increase. Therefore, the drill needs to be replaced frequently.

In order to cope with various ore mining as much as possible, the drill of the mining vehicle itself is also made of a very rare special alloy.

This special alloy is different from most of the metals currently used and requires special methods to smelt.

If Duan Ming follows the original plan, Duan Ming wants to raise a batch of space anchor mining vehicles, and there is also a factory dedicated to smelting special alloys and making special alloy drills.

In this way, the consumption of productivity is a bit too large. And this is exactly why this mining vehicle is still at Unit-01 and has not been used on a large scale by the Earthlings.

Not only is this space anchor mining vehicle defective, but most of the other conceptual weapons also have some defects to a greater or lesser extent. It is precisely because these defects have not been solved that these things still remain in the laboratory or even on the drawings.

But if Sigma Gold is added to the special alloy for forging drill bits, a super drill bit that will hardly wear out can be made.

Such a drill bit can basically be used as new even if the space anchor mining vehicle is scrapped.

In this way, Duan Ming only needs to create a batch of super drill bits, which can basically be used until death. Then there is no need to build a large-scale special smelting plant, and the production workshop can also be saved. The mining efficiency of the mining vehicle will also be greatly improved.

After thinking again and again, Duan Ming felt that this time he would spend money once. Add the god-level forging materials to the mining vehicle drill bit and make a batch of artifacts and drill bits for mining.

For Duan Ming's decision, the scientific research robot unexpectedly said: "Really a spendthrift."

Hearing the words of the scientific research robot, Duan Ming felt that the scientific research robot in front of him was not as simple as it seemed.

Although it is still uncertain, after a period of observation, Duan Ming also had a guess in his heart.

The matter of the space anchor mining vehicle has basically come to an end.

Duan Ming made a decision. All he had to do next was wait for the mining truck to arrive and then see the results.

Back in his lounge, Duan Ming took out the quasi-S crystal core that almost killed him before.

The color of the crystal core was much more transparent than before, which meant that there were few rock elements left in it.

"When this crystal core becomes completely transparent, there should only be pure non-attribute energy left in it.

But for me now, the rock elements remaining in this crystal core should not be enough to pose a threat."

In fact, Duan Ming had been petrified several times, and his body had a certain resistance to rock elements.

If you look at Duan Ming's personal attribute panel at this time, you will find that there is an additional resistance column in his status bar.

It says [15% resistance to rock elements. ]

With this 15% resistance to rock elements, Duan Ming can resist the petrification after the rock beast's breath splashes to a certain extent.

Similarly, this resistance also applies to the negative impact of elemental energy in energy.

With this support, Duan Ming began to try to absorb the quasi-S crystal core that still retained some rock element energy.

As the energy gradually flowed into his body, Duan Ming could clearly feel a yellowish-brown energy petrifying his meridians.

But because he had a certain resistance, the negative effects of this energy could not be realized.

After confirming that he could resist the petrification of rock element energy, Duan Ming also breathed a sigh of relief and began to further absorb the energy in the crystal core.

A few hours later.

Duan Ming, who had completely absorbed the crystal core, breathed a sigh of relief.

He shook his somewhat stiff body, and a layer of stone chips fell off Duan Ming's body.

This was the result of Duan Ming expelling useless rock element energy from his body, and finally petrifying the dust near his body.

Duan Ming stood up and felt the surging energy in his body. He was a little surprised at first, but then a little regretful.

To his surprise, Duan Ming found that his strength had improved a lot, and he was close to the AAAAA level.

And the regret was that Duan Ming found that he was only one step away from reaching the AAAAA level.

"If I hadn't rashly used this crystal core before, so that a considerable part of its energy was licked away by the rock beast cub, then I might have really broken through.

Or if I were a rock-type ability user, I could directly use this crystal core to improve my strength, and even go further after reaching AAAAA."

Although it was a bit regretful, Duan Ming didn't force it.

Failure to successfully break through the AAAAA level was also a follow-up event of Duan Ming's rash absorption of the quasi-S-level crystal core last time. Duan Ming was not able to break through successfully, and it was all his own fault.

Realizing this, Duan Ming couldn't help but say to himself: "This incident is a lesson. It seems that I have to be more cautious in the future."
