False Court
Chapter 633 Exploration
The False Court·Devourer responded in a low voice.
“Never mind, I didn’t say anything.”
Su Mo continued browsing the Star Ring forum...
Several days later, Su Mo and the others gathered in the command room of a medium-sized transport ship.
Sean and the others began reporting the situation to Su Mo.
“This is what we’ve surveyed.”
Sean tapped his wrist device, and a holographic terrain image appeared, marked with a dozen green dots, over three hundred red dots, and five black dots.
Su Mo looked at the holographic terrain map, listening quietly to Sean’s explanation.
Sean continued to introduce the situation methodically: “These green dots are areas where we detected mineral reactions on the surface, but the content is very low, and they aren’t very good minerals either. The value isn’t very high. All of these red dots are entrances to insect nests. It feels like you’ve chosen to settle on top of an insect nest. As for these black dots, they are volcanic craters, and after scanning with our monitoring equipment, these volcanoes are very active internally.”
Sun Duo Xiang said helplessly, “Boss, what do we do now? We haven’t found anything, and this area isn’t very safe.”
“What’s the rush? I knew this was an insect nest long ago. I’m looking for the insect nest.”
Su Mo replied calmly, but he was also secretly wondering if his luck had really turned for the worse.
“Ah, Boss, we’re not going down there, are we?”
Sun Duo Xiang’s expression was priceless.
“Nonsense, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Sean, have you found any relatively large insect nest entrances?”
Su Mo asked directly.
“Yes, the entrance to this red dot insect nest is super large and very hidden. We almost missed it. After surveying, the width of the cave opening alone reaches 300 meters, and it’s very deep. We used a probe to explore, but we didn’t reach the bottom. To prevent triggering the monsters inside, we didn’t dare to explore further.”
Sean raised his hand and pointed to the most central area.
“It’s here. Prepare everything. We’ll make a trip tomorrow morning.”
Without saying anything else, Su Mo reached out and pointed to the largest insect nest entrance.
“No problem.”
Sean replied without any hesitation.
Sun Duo Xiang swallowed and asked with an awkward smile, “Boss, I don’t have to go, do I? Can I help you watch from above?”
“We’re going together.”
Su Mo retorted unhappily.
“Uh, okay.”
Sun Duo Xiang was a little tearful. He was going down into an insect nest.
“What’s with that expression? Have some ambition. With me here, nothing will happen.”
Su Mo patted Sun Duo Xiang on the shoulder and replied.
“Okay, okay.”
Sun Duo Xiang quickly responded.
Just then, in the command room, an operator stood up and saluted Su Mo.
“Officer Su Mo, there’s a communication request for you.”
“Who is it?”
Su Mo was also confused.
“It’s from Wang Hai.”
The operator replied.
Immediately, Sun Duo Xiang and the others looked at Su Mo in confusion. Why was Wang Hai looking for him at this time?
“Connect it.”
Su Mo was also a little puzzled.
“Yes, sir!”
The operator responded.
Immediately afterward, Wang Hai’s holographic image popped up. Wang Hai was standing on a barren plain wearing a third-generation mechanical armor.
Behind him, large multifunctional mining machines were operating.
Piles of level 3 molybdenum ore were stacked nearby.
“Wow!”
Sun Duo Xiang’s eyes widened as he looked at the open-pit mine, which contained level 3 ore, a relatively high grade, and he almost drooled.
“Wang Hai, what do you want?”
Su Mo asked suspiciously.
Wang Hai said gratefully, “Thank you very much for letting me have such a good mining site. The reserves of ore here exceed my imagination. Thank you so much. To express my gratitude, I am willing to give you 20 percent of the profits here.”
Sun Duo Xiang and Sean were a little stunned when they heard Wang Hai’s words.
Su Mo let Wang Hai have such a good mining site?
“No need, this is what you deserve, and we were originally companions.”
Su Mo coughed and replied.
“That won’t do!”
Wang Hai insisted.
“Really, there’s no need. If you really want to thank someone, thank Li Ruiqi. He told me to take care of my own people.”
Su Mo shook his head. It wasn’t very ethical for him to accept Wang Hai’s benefits like this, since Li Ruiqi had instructed him.
“Alright then.”
Wang Hai didn’t insist anymore.
“I wish you a pleasant mining experience. I have things to do here, so I’ll hang up first.”
“Okay!”
Immediately, Su Mo hung up the communication.
As soon as Su Mo hung up, he saw Sun Duo Xiang’s resentful expression, like a wronged woman, and he was startled.
“What’s with that expression?”
“Boss, why did you give such a good spot to someone else?”
Sun Duo Xiang said resentfully.
“Isn’t there a better spot? Do you doubt my vision?”
Su Mo asked, dumbfounded.
“Based on the current situation, the spot you chose isn’t very good.”
Sun Duo Xiang muttered in a low voice.
“What do you know? This place is a mother nest.”
Su Mo spat back unhappily.
“Heavens, it’s still a mother nest. Boss, were you knocked silly? You dare to choose this kind of place!”
Sun Duo Xiang exploded after hearing the words “mother nest.”
Su Mo was amused by Sun Duo Xiang’s words. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this. We’ll find out if it’s good or bad tomorrow.”
He didn’t believe that the Scarlet Cerastes Queen’s nest would be that bad.
-------------------------------
The next day, Su Mo, piloting the third-generation mech Slaughter Blade, was fully armed and ready to go.
Sean, Sun Duo Xiang, and the others also drove over in Black Steel mechs.
“We’re ready.”
Su Mo looked at the team, which had a total of fifty elite personnel. Many Iron Guards behind him were carrying mining toolboxes. Without saying much, he directly said,
“Let’s go!”
At this moment, Mo Boke drove a Black Steel mech over, scurrying along.
“Officer Su Mo, wait for me.”
“Mo Boke, what are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be responsible for guarding the area?”
Su Mo was baffled.
“Officer Su Mo, I heard you’re going to personally explore the mine. Why don’t you take me with you? There’s nothing much to do here anyway.”
Mo Boke shamelessly wanted to join in.
“Are you sure?”
Su Mo asked suspiciously.
“Of course, I’m sure.”
Mo Boke replied confidently.
“Haha, we’re going down to a mother nest. If you want to come along, then come.”
Sun Duo Xiang couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
Hearing Sun Duo Xiang’s words, Mo Boke was stunned, and then exclaimed, “No way?”
“We are going down to an insect nest. If you want to come, then come along. Everyone, follow me!”
Su Mo didn’t say much and immediately drove the Slaughter Blade forward.
Inside the Black Steel mech, Mo Boke came back to his senses and slapped himself hard.
“I’m really shooting myself in the foot. Why did I come to join in the fun?”
Mo Boke’s expression turned from green to red, and then he controlled the mech to catch up, shouting through gritted teeth, “Officer Su Mo, wait for me. I’ll go with you too.”
Su Mo turned his head and shouted at Mo Boke.
“Hurry up and catch up!”
Along the way, Su Mo looked at the rolling red earth around him, and a sense of inexplicable accomplishment rose in his heart.
Everything he saw now belonged to him.
According to Li Ruiqi, the land that had been allocated to him would permanently belong to him, even in the future. After returning to the Federation, he would be given a special land deed that could be used for trading.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the Federation could not lose control of this planet.
Otherwise, who are you going to tell that this is yours?
