Factory Type: 9
Jiang Ye boarded the ship wearily, placed it in the trading bay, and sold it.
Account balance: 60,001,000 yuan.
Still twenty million short.
If he relied solely on passive income, the remaining six days would be enough to gather these twenty million.
But Jiang Ye wanted to play it safe, so he clicked on the screen, directing the fishing boat north along the coast!
Setting the autopilot, he went to the bow and basked in the sea breeze.
The shore was desolate, and the roar of the sea remained the same.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Thirty minutes.
Jiang Ye kept his eyes half-closed, his attention focused on his nose.
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, a gleam of excitement in them.
A rich scent of purple grapes wafted in on the wind.
It was mixed with the aroma of chocolate biscuits and a hint of pepper.
Jiang Ye sneezed, turned back to the captain's cabin, clicked on the screen, and stopped the ship.
After so many mines, he no longer needed to constantly re-locate; when the scent reached a certain concentration, he knew the distance was right.
He disembarked, carrying his shovel, and headed straight for the shore.
Jiang Ye sniffed the air like a dog, trotting forward. Time was getting late, and he needed to find the mine's location quickly so he could start digging tomorrow.
Finally, he stood on a patch of yellow earth.
Without hesitation, he dug in with his shovel, quickly excavating two meters deep. Sparks finally flew from the shovel.
He took a breath and chipped out a piece of ore.
He picked it up and examined it in the sunlight.
The surface was black, like charcoal, and felt very hard to the touch.
But the broken surface revealed thumb-sized purple granules within.
Jiang Ye suspected that the black outer shell was just worthless ordinary rock, and the purple granules inside were the real ore.
He returned to the fishing boat and placed the ore in the trading bay.
After a brief scan, the information popped up:
[Item: Shan Stone]
[Item Description: A relatively new mineral, a new darling of the gem market, it is a hydrated silicate of sodium, potassium, and lithium, containing varying amounts of iron, magnesium, and aluminum. The crystals are very small, mostly less than two centimeters.]
[Estimated Value: 188 yuan]
Jiang Ye did not gloat; instead, he quickly disembarked.
Following the scent, he walked along the mining area.
As he walked, he used his shovel to draw lines forcefully on the ground.
Soon, a circle with a diameter of two hundred meters was outlined.
This was the extent of the mining area.
Damn, so much! Jiang Ye's eyes lit up, like a lecher seeing a stunning beauty undressed.
Based on his experience, this large mining area would be more than enough to cover the factory's construction costs.
It could even earn him tens of millions more.
The only drawback was the massive reserve, which would take a long time to excavate.
However, Jiang Ye now had people.
He decided to bring a team to dig tomorrow.
