Chapter 188 Harvest

A month later, on the outer edge of the C185 designated Red Ridge Queen Insect Nest.

"Move it, quickly!"

Chen Shan yelled at his subordinates who were carrying supplies.

Iron Guard mechs were busy loading boxes of packed resources onto transport ships.

Looking at the Red Ridge Queen Insect's nest, one would see that the entire nest had been excavated. The area was completely hollowed out, leaving behind a giant sinkhole.

Su Mo piloted the Slaughter Blade, gazing at the deep pit left behind, filled with a sense of accomplishment.

For the past month, everyone had been working non-stop, except for rest. They worked in shifts, 24 hours a day.

At this moment, Xiao Wen, piloting the Black Steel mech, approached and reported to Su Mo: "In a few hours, the last batch of products will be loaded. Then, we can return. We've explored other areas, but they're not of much value."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Su Mo replied gratefully.

"We're brothers, no need to be so polite. Besides, we didn't have anything else to do anyway. But after we return, there will be a lot of work to do. We need to do some preliminary smelting and processing of these things we dug up, so they will be easier to sell when we get back."

Xiao Wen replied casually.

"I've always been confident in your abilities. You can decide what to do."

Su Mo said easily.

Just as Xiao Wen and Su Mo were chatting, Sun Duo Xiang trotted over excitedly and asked, "Boss, I'm done with my end. When are we returning?"

Now that the work was done, he could wait to get paid when they got back. He couldn't wait.

Sun Duo Xiang had participated in all the mining operations, and he knew better than anyone how much money they had made this time.

"What's the rush? We'll return in a while. I have a question for you. Have the other mining teams finished their work?"

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"How is that possible? We are the fastest. After all, most of our resources were readily available, and it was only the final digging of those interference stones that wasted a lot of time. The other mining teams are still digging. If they are unlucky enough to encounter a mine with low content and a scattered distribution, they won't be able to finish digging in a year or two. They may even have to be stationed there for a long time, which will lead to serious expenses."

Sun Duo Xiang said with some schadenfreude.

"Sun Duo Xiang, why do I feel like you're gloating?"

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"No, I just think you're too awesome, boss, for picking the readily available resources."

Sun Duo Xiang quickly explained.

"Su Mo, we're done. We can go."

At this time, Chen Shan's deep voice sounded in the communication channel.

"Let's go!"

Su Mo didn't waste any words.

.......

Late at night, Su Mo and others returned to the Black Yao.

After unloading the supplies in the designated area, everyone went to the infirmary for a full body check, followed by quarantine observation.

In the quarantine room, Su Mo was not idle. He held a pen and paper, looking at the statistics table sent to him by Xiao Wen on his phone, calculating the overall income this time.

Xiao Wen also attached to Su Mo a list of the latest transaction prices of ores publicly available on the Star Ring Forum.

Time passed bit by bit.

When the morning sun rose, Su Mo stretched and finally finished the statistics.

The income this time is mainly divided into these categories.

The first item of income: Grade 3 energy crystal ore, a total of 1321 pieces, with varying sizes and qualities.

The second item of income: collecting mechanical wreckage. After purification and processing, this part can obtain a large number of Grade 3 finished alloy ingots, which can be directly used to build third-generation mechs, which are very valuable. In addition, there are a small number of Grade 4 alloy ingots, but unfortunately there are too few of them, otherwise the value would be higher.

The third item of income: sundries. This part is the most difficult to deal with, and the value is not high if sold directly. But there may be surprises, and it needs to be handled by special experts.

The fourth item of income: interference stone ore.

The fifth item of income: Red Ridge Flying Insect eggs and monster skeletons, this part has a certain value and can be sold directly to the people of the Yanars Kingdom.

The sixth item of income: Eternal Metal.

Su Mo calculated it this way: the energy crystal cannot be moved for the time being, so it is not included in the income, and the Eternal Metal is not included in the income either. The remaining items add up to a conservative estimate of about 380 million star coins. If handled well, the price may be higher.

Of course, Su Mo's actual income is not just this little bit.

Take Eternal Metal as an example. This is a super high-level material that no one can use for the time being, and only the Star Ring City can use it. Therefore, only they recycle it, and its official guidance recovery price is 100 million star coins for 10kg, but according to the words of the Counterfeit Lord Devourer, this is the way the Star Ring City is squeezing everyone, and the real price of this material needs to be at least ten times higher.

Then there is the batch of energy crystals. This thing is hard currency and can be used as star coins in a sense. According to the current market conditions, it is worth at least 200 million star coins, and it will basically not depreciate.

Of course, Su Mo will not sell Eternal Metal and energy crystals. He will store these things and use them as the first batch of treasures in his private warehouse.

So what really needs to be dealt with is the 380 million star coins worth of stuff.

"I'm finally done calculating. I'm so tired. This trip was really profitable."

Su Mo stretched and said in a good mood.

At this time, the Counterfeit Lord Devourer said, "You only ate a piece of meat. If you want to say who is the real beneficiary, it is definitely the Federation. Two and a half planets are enough for them to make a fortune, and the income is many times yours. Of course, the premise is that they have the ability to stay here. The excavation of resources on the entire planet requires effort and cost is also amazing."

"Why be so greedy? It's good to be full. Then we can use this money to find other ways to make money."

Su Mo thought very openly. If he really had to dig in this godforsaken place for decades, he would rather not dig it. People would go crazy.

The Counterfeit Lord Devourer fell silent and said nothing.

A few days later, after Su Mo was released from quarantine, he immediately called Xiao Wen, Sun Duo Xiang, Mo Bao Ke and others to an inconspicuous restaurant private room.

When Sun Duo Xiang came, he specially brought a few bottles of good wine.

"It's rare for Boss to treat, so we must get drunk today."

"Go away, you can't say a nice thing. But you guys have really worked hard during this time."

Su Mo scolded with a smile.

"Not hard, it is our honor to work for Officer Su Mo."

Mo Bao Ke said with a flattering smile.

"Stop saying those polite words. Let's have a good drink and be done with it."

Chen Shan said cheerfully.

"Drinking is definitely necessary, but before we get drunk, there is something I need to explain to you first."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

The eyes of Sun Duo Xiang and others lit up.
