Chapter 1 Two Days Later

Two days later, Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue arrived at the L1 district hangar.

Anfer and Xin Ya had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. Both of them were now wearing second-generation mechanical armor, giving off a very reliable feeling.

Seeing Qiancheng Xue and Su Mo approaching, they quickly greeted them.

"Lady Qiancheng Xue, you're here."

"Yes, can we set off now?"

Qiancheng Xue asked coolly.

"Yes, we're ready. This way, please."

Anfer immediately led Su Mo and the others towards the far end of the hangar.

The entire L1 district hangar was bustling with activity, filled with workers coming and going, each full of energy and passion.

There were also many freelancers holding signs, eagerly promoting themselves.

Su Mo looked with interest at the signs they held. Some indicated they were mechanical repairers, some indicated they could operate engineering machinery, and some indicated they were chefs....

Seeing Su Mo noticing the freelancers, Xin Ya introduced them casually.

"Those are all freelancers. There are some talented people among them, but their quality varies. Generally, only when a work team is really short of people will they look for some to help out in an emergency."

"I see."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

Before long, Su Mo and the others arrived in a corner area, where a small transport ship was parked and more than three hundred people were gathered.

Everyone was wearing first-generation mechanical armor. Although the model and style were quite old, at least it was a decent force.

It could be seen that the Thunderous Exploration Company was quite strong.

Anfer introduced to the many subordinates, "Let me introduce you, these two are the employers for this trip, Lady Qiancheng Xue, and... what is your name?"

Anfer asked thoughtfully, halfway through the introduction.

"My name is Su Mo."

Su Mo replied, quite pleased.

"And Lord Su Mo, everyone give them a warm welcome."

Anfer continued.

Clap clap~

The scene erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Qiancheng Xue nodded slightly. She said in a calm tone, "I hope we can cooperate happily in the future. Alright, let's set off."

"Okay, let's board the ship."

Anfer and Xin Ya quickly echoed.

Soon after, Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue boarded the small transport ship. Anfer had specially prepared a room with a window for them, complete with all the amenities.

Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue stood by the window, drinking coffee and looking outside.

At this moment, the small transport ship was slowly sailing out of the Black Shine.

"Hopefully the mining will go smoothly. According to the plan given by Anfer, it should be completed in about four months."

Qiancheng Xue said, taking a sip of coffee.

"Trust your judgment. The work team you chose is quite good in all aspects. As long as your luck isn't too bad, there shouldn't be any problems."

Su Mo had been observing the Thunderous Exploration Company all the way here. Although it couldn't compare to Xiao Wen's subordinates in terms of sophistication, it was still very good in terms of spirit and equipment.

"Yes."

Qiancheng Xue nodded in response.

Soon, the small spaceship left the Black Shine and flew towards planet C181.

Along the way, transport ships could be seen passing by.

"It's lively. There are quite a few mining teams."

Su Mo said thoughtfully.

"There are many. As far as I know, there are thousands of teams working on planet C181 alone. If you turn on the public communication channel later, you can experience the lively atmosphere."

Qiancheng Xue replied with a smile.

"That's good."

"But it's not all good. There have been many conflicts. Some mine points are too close together."

Qiancheng Xue was very aware of the situation.

"Are there any teams working near your mining area?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"Yes, but they are very restrained and dare not cross the line. After all, my position is there."

"That's true."

....

Knock knock!

A knock on the door rang out.

Qiancheng Xue walked over and opened the door. Xin Ya said to Qiancheng Xue, "Miss Qiancheng Xue, we are approaching planet C181. Please come to the operations room to authorize."

"Okay!"

Qiancheng Xue left with Xin Ya.

Su Mo stayed in the room alone, quietly standing by the window, looking out at the starry sky.

At this time, planet C181, which was getting closer and closer, could be clearly seen. This planet was a circle smaller than planet C185, and in other aspects, it looked no different.

Before long, the small transport ship entered the atmosphere of planet C181 after verifying its identity.

Su Mo originally thought it would be quite bumpy, but it turned out to be quite stable.

When the spaceship passed through the atmosphere, a very spectacular scene appeared.

Everywhere were towering work equipment and busy construction teams.

Su Mo suddenly noticed something amazing. All the work areas were in one area.

The upper-level decision-makers were indeed not fools. They concentrated all the mine points allocated to outsiders in one area, thus preventing others from stealing the Federation's resources.

With so many work teams, if they were scattered, the Black Shine simply wouldn't have enough manpower to monitor them.

You can never underestimate the temptation of profit, which is enough to make too many people take risks.

Of course, the disadvantage of enclosing everyone in one area is also obvious: it is easy to cause conflicts and disputes.

.....

Days later, in an uneven area of planet C181, multi-functional excavators were mining in an orderly manner.

Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue stood on a protruding giant rock, overlooking the work situation.

There was one advantage to outsourcing to a third-party mining team: you didn't have to worry too much. Of course, the premise was that the construction team was reliable and wouldn't cause trouble.

Qiancheng Xue looked at the raw ore that was starting to be produced, her smile growing brighter. She said to Su Mo.

"I've seen the quality of the ore produced, and it's better than I expected."

She felt that she was one step closer to her dream.

Su Mo looked at the smile on Qiancheng Xue's face, also a little dazed. It had been a long time since he had seen her so happy.

Just then, Xin Ya walked over and said.

"Excuse me."

"What is it?"

Qiancheng Xue turned her head and asked in confusion.

"Lady Qiancheng Xue, the personnel responsible for patrolling the periphery have sent a message. Someone claiming to be your elder brother said he wants to see you. You also know that the mining atmosphere is not very good right now, and we didn't dare to let anyone in, so we came to ask you."

Xin Ya explained.

Su Mo frowned slightly. Ye Wuhen's news was quite well-informed. He came over not long after the mining started. He then turned to Qiancheng Xue and said.

"If you don't want to see him, I'll help you get rid of him."

"It's okay, Xin Ya, bring him over."

Qiancheng Xue replied calmly.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Xin Ya nodded in response.

A moment later, Xin Ya walked over with Ye Wuhen.

Then Xin Ya left with great tact, leaving them enough private space.
