Starting from Zero

The thing that Qilin warrior handed over was not a metal I hadn't seen before, but a very common metal-black gold.

Black gold is a metal similar to gold. Its hardness is very low, and its properties are a bit like plasticine, but it is dense and heavier than gold. Of course, its color is black like coal, so It's called black gold.

Black gold has a wide range of uses, because it is a special material for depicting magic arrays. Although it is not a necessary material, its substitutes can only play half of its effectiveness. That is to say, if two magic arrays are respectively depicted with black gold and black gold substitutes, even if other factors are the same, the efficiency of the magic array with black gold added will be more than double that of the other one without it.

Because the performance of black gold is so important, its use in the depiction of magic arrays is also very amazing, but like all materials with outstanding performance, the output of black gold is also horribly low If it weren’t for the small amount of black gold used when depicting the magic array, it is estimated that the price of black gold is likely to exceed dragon blood and various gems to become one of the most expensive materials in the magic array. Of course, the above price refers to the total price of black gold in a magic array. If it is divided by weight, black gold is already the most expensive material. After all, although gems or dragon blood also cost a lot of money, the amount used in the magic array is also tens of grams, and it doesn't feel so scary to the center of each gram on average. However, although the black gold in the magic array does not account for much money, its consumption is only a few ten grams each time. On average, the unit price is definitely one of the most expensive magic materials.

In fact, in addition to being used to portray magic arrays, black gold itself is also one of the necessary materials in high level equipment. Because black gold itself is a kind of magical stable material, no matter it is for magic transmission or storage, as long as it is not used to release magic, almost all black gold can be added, and the attribute of black gold can add its transmission and storage. The medium is as small as possible to disperse the magic power, so that the stability and accuracy of the magic can be ensured, and the success rate of the magic release and the formidable power can be improved without increasing the use requirements.

Such an important and commonly used thing, it can be said that it should be a substance that is often seen, but why did I not recognize it before? The reason lies in the size of the piece of black gold in my hand. This piece of black gold is actually as big as his grandfather's head. You must know that the black gold mined in the past is associated with gold mines, and the output is also surprisingly low. The volume of natural black gold found every time basically does not exceed the size of a soybean. , But there is actually the size of a human head in front of me. Of course, I'm impossible to think about black gold. It’s like if you suddenly look up and find that the sky above the city is covered by a giant creature with eight legs and a pair of large tongs. Your first reaction would never think that it was a crab, because in general Common sense, crabs simply can't grow so big. My current situation is like this. The reason why I couldn't recognize it for a while is because I didn't expect that black gold can have this kind of size, and listening to the Qilin warrior's statement, it seems that there are still a lot of such black gold over there.

"Where did you find this thing?"

"Over there." Qilin warrior pointed in a direction behind his back. I followed his fingers and found out There is a small hole over there. About knowing what I was wondering about, the Qilin warrior directly added: "It's just a cave. There is a cave about the same size as this one. There is this thing everywhere, and I don’t know it under the ground. How deep is it? By the way, there seems to be a few strange nests over there. The Lin Beast seems to be hostile to those nests, but we don't feel any power fluctuations. It is estimated that there may be rare beast eggs in them."

"There are monster eggs? Take me over and take a look."

The devil beast in "Zero" is different from the way of childbirth in reality. The devil beast here is bigger. Some of them are egg lay, even if there are viviparous or special breeding species, it is very rare. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that no matter whether the cub of the devil beast has hatched or not, it is equated with crystal coins in my eyes. Devil beast eggs that have not been hatched are actually devil beast eggs. They don’t even need to be captured. As for the hatched... Is there any difficulty in capturing a cub? Therefore, as long as it is a small beast that has not yet emerged from its nest, whether it has hatched or not, it is valuable.

Follow the Qilin warrior and ran to the hole that I saw before. After passing through a passage about three meters long, it was completely dark. Although the cave itself has no lighting, because of the need for mining, I specially asked Xiaochun to add lighting to the entire cave, so it should be very bright here. However, this cave here is indeed completely dark, because in this cave, whether it is on the wall or on the ground, even the top of the cave is covered by a layer of black black gold. Look like this, even if there is only the surface layer. It's black gold, I'm afraid it will weigh more than ten tons. You must know that although black gold is used in a wide range, the key is that the proportion of addition is very small. These dozen tons of black gold, even with the exaggerated consumption of our guild, will definitely not be used up within half a year. Moreover, what if the black gold here is more than the surface layer?

"Come here a few people." After looking around the situation of the hole, I waved to call in a few Qilin warriors. "You immediately spread out to the caves to dig under the ground for me to see the buried thickness of this black metal, as long as you dig to the boundary layer."

Several Qilin warrior nodded stand separately. When I reached various positions in the cave, I started to dig down. I originally thought that the black gold production here would not be very exaggerated. They will soon be able to dig into the boundary layer, but did not expect Qilin warrior to dig into the boundary layer soon, but only two digging into the boundary layer. Named Qilin warrior, the remaining six Qilin warriors actually dug for more than ten minutes before another person dug into the boundary layer.

"How deep is it now?" I walked to the Qilin warrior who had just stopped and asked.

"About half a meter." The Qilin warrior said after looking at the pit he had dug.

I nodded and then looked at the pits dug by the two Qilin warriors that stopped first. The black gold at the location of the two first pits only covers the depth of less than ten centimeters on the surface, while the latter pit has a depth of fifty centimeters. If the depth of the other pits is 50 centimeters In the end, the black gold here is conservatively estimated to be enough for us to use for at least one year. However, looking at the other five pits dug by Qilin warrior that have not stopped, it is estimated that the depth of the five pits is more than 50 centimeters, so that the storage capacity of the mining area is quite terrifying. Moreover, this is only after estimating the depth of the ground and then calculating the wall and the roof of the cave with only one layer on the surface. If there are many mineral layers behind the roof and the wall, the reserves can be too terrifying.

"Military God." Although the ground part has not been dug yet, the total reserves of the mining area cannot be calculated if the depth of the walls and the roof of the cave is uncertain. But if you rely on the big hole alone, let alone the accuracy or inaccuracy of the estimated value, the amount of work alone is enough to kill people. So, I thought of a better method, which is quick and easy.

"What's the matter?" After receiving my call, the military god immediately asked.

I briefly talked about my plan with the military god, and the military god immediately said that it could be done, and then arranged it myself without waiting for my order.

Actually, my method is not complicated. There are three points in total. First, use the spirit detection ability of pepper to scan the distribution of black gold in the entire mining area. Second, use the spirit net network of the newly joined Aurora beast, plus Princess's consciousness connection, to transmit all the black gold distribution maps scanned by the pepper to the military god. Third, use the space computing power of the military supercomputer to calculate the accurate reserves of the mining area.

Originally, if the God of War were to come here directly to connect with Pepper, there would be no need to bother with the Aurora Beast. However, because the military god must always supervise the crystal communication network of the guild, his scope of activities is limited to Isengard. Once he walks out of Isengard, the command system of our guild will fall into an unsupervised state. , Although that may not cause any problems, it is always bad. Moreover, because Vina and the others just brought a space gate when they came, they didn't need to run as far as the Aurora Beast, as long as there are three to four Aurora Beasts should be enough to establish the connection.

With the command of the military god, the personnel are obviously much faster when they are in place. In less than ten minutes, a few aurora beasts came to our side through the newly opened Transmission Gate, and then established the spirit net network as required. . After the network here was ready, Pepper immediately began to scan the entire mine with spirit strength, and soon a detailed distribution map of black gold came out.

With the military god’s computing power, the volume calculation of this irregular figure is almost equivalent to him. It is for college students to do single-digit addition and subtraction. Almost the pepper has just finished scanning. The military god reported the data.

"Eleven thousand two hundred and twenty-seven tons." Military god asked, "Do you need more accurate data? I can be accurate to less than one gram."

"No need." Anyway, I just need a rough estimate, not so precise. After speaking, I thought that in the future our guild would no longer have to buy black gold, and my face unconsciously put on a triumphant smile. But to rest assured, I still asked the military god. "By the way, Military God, help me figure out how long the current black gold can be used? Three years or five years?" After saying that, I smiled and waited for the Military God to give me a satisfactory answer. I'm on the ground.

"According to this storage capacity, if you don't count non-production consumption, it should be enough for three to four months."

"What?" The original plan was to use three to five years. The weight is only enough for three to four months. Is this shrinking too serious? "Why can I only use so little time? Three to four months? Our guild can use more than two thousand tons of black gold in a month?"

"I didn't use that much, but you are not Did you just bring back a magic puppet Jiaha?"

"What's up with him?"

"Because he is reunited with the current Jiaha and Norin, so the three Combining their respective theories and cooperating with the variable metal technology on the magic doll Jiaha, they plan to upgrade all the mobile angels in our guild to a new version of the deformable mobile angel. The new design drawings have been submitted 30 minutes ago When I got here, Miss Rose and the two Vice-Presidents signed and approved. Because the new variable mobile angel involves a large number of fusion arrays, it needs more black gold as the magic stabilizing material than the existing mobile angels. In addition, because the magic doll is good Ha's ability to merge and split, the production speed of our guild's mobile angels will be greatly increased, so the consumption speed will also increase. Based on the above data, this part of the black gold will be exhausted in about three to four months. In addition, after this period In time, we may need to purchase an additional three thousand tons of black gold, so as to ensure the full refurbishment of the new mobile angel. After the refurbishment, there is no need to mass produce mobile angels, and the consumption will be greatly reduced by then, but It may still reach a consumption of more than three tons per month. After all, there are too many magical components in the new technology, and the increase in the consumption of stable materials is an inevitable result."

"Well, I can understand it. The one I brought back is not a scientist at all, this is simply an ancestor who spends money!"

The military god has no emotions replied: "Although the investment is large, the new mobile angel has a higher benefit ratio. It’s a lot of money. We actually made a lot of money in the comprehensive calculation."

"It's alright, I just complain about it. Okay, there is nothing wrong with you here." Shut down and Military God After the connection, I sent Aurora Beast back to Isengard through Transmission Gate. Of course, since it is found that the amount of storage here is so large, it is not suitable for my summon creatures to mine, after all, they are not miners. If the quantity is small, it's nothing to bring it back easily. It would be inappropriate for them to dig such a large ore vein.

After fixing the black gold problem, I began to shift the target to the huge nests above my head. The nest just reported by Qilin warrior is on the top of this cave. From below, it looks like a huge drop of water about to fall to the ground hanging on the top of the cave. These nests are all made of a kind of purple translucent material. The exterior is smooth like glass, but the interior is filled with all kinds of fluff. As for how many cubs there are in the nest, because of the layer of hair blocking it, it is not visible from below.

Select a lair that is not far above my head, then I dragged the cable head of the dragon's tendons and installed it on the Avenger’s launching port, then raised my right arm and aimed at the one next to the lair. A finger moved on the top of the hole. With peng sound, the dragon's tendons took a long cable line and shot onto the top of the cave, and then directly embedded in the black gold on the top of the cave after making a ding sound.

I originally hoped to hang myself up, but I forgot the nature of the black gold thing, and pulled the cable off as soon as I tried hard. The hardness of the black gold is like plasticine. It simply cannot bear the weight. The unprofitable "a"-shaped expansion barb in front of the dragon tendon simply cannot lock such a soft thing. It will tear the black gold with a little effort. Crack and cause looseness.

"Damn, this is the top of the hole." I cursed secretly, and then I just spread my wings and flew up. Although flying in the cave is more dangerous, but the rope can't catch me, so I have to go up like this.

Carefully controlled not to hit the top of the cave, and then I carefully approached the nest above my head. After a half-turn around the nest, I found the entrance diagonally above the nest. From here, I can clearly see the three magical eggs lying quietly in the nest.

"haha, it hasn't hatched yet. This will save trouble."

The devil beast egg that hasn't hatched is actually equivalent to the devil egg, which is captured by the trainer Compared with the familiar eggs that adult devil beasts turn into, the only difference is that they can hatch naturally. The familiar egg transformed by the capture skill will hatch only after the player confirms the ownership of the familiar egg by means of dripping blood, but the wild familiar egg can hatch into a wild devil beast by itself as long as the temperature is right, except for this difference. , The two kinds of eggs are exactly the same thing.

Although the three eggs here are all wild eggs, as long as they have not hatched now, once they leave the nest, they will naturally lose the proper temperature and environmental factors, as long as they don’t happen to be the same as their nest. Environment, it will not hatch naturally. Besides, it doesn’t matter even if the egg hatches, the success rate of my catching skills for catching cubs will never be lower than 80% even if it’s not 100%.

After confirming that the three eggs are intact and vigorous, I threw the three eggs into the Phoenix Dragon Space, and then continued to fly towards other nests. After turning the whole cave in a circle, I found a total of 27 Familiar Eggs. If they were sold out, they would definitely make a good comparison.

When I just collected the pet eggs, I identified the attributes of the pet eggs, and found that they all belong to the giant bats I have seen before, and that bat itself is a kind of one thousand taels. A hundred-level monster.

According to the current market quotation of the Familiar Egg, a one thousand and two hundred-level Familiar Egg can sell almost five to ten million crystal coins, and the price is only an ordinary one thousand. The price of the two-hundred-level magic pet egg. The price of flying familiars is generally ten to twelve percent higher than the familiars of the same level, and familiars with special abilities can also be so much higher. If they can fly and have special abilities, the price can be at least higher. Half out. This bat can not only fly, but also has two special attributes: ultrasonic detection and venomous bite, so if you really want to calculate, this thing can sell for at least 10 million.

However, considering that there are more bat eggs found this time, the price may fluctuate a bit. On the one hand, a large quantity may lower the price. On the other hand, if the same kind of magic familiar is purchased by a certain team, the price may increase a lot, so the final price is temporarily impossible to estimate, but the price of a ten million yuan should still be able to It is guaranteed that the final transaction price will only be higher than this, and will never be lower.

After cleaning up these beloved eggs, the smile on my face has not increased, but is full of sadness. This cave looks like a treasure trove. The total value of the contents is estimated to have exceeded 2 billion crystal coins. The system is not a bug, how could the unfathomable mystery give me so much money for nothing? Then, in accordance with the consistent style of system-equal risks and benefits. I suddenly get so many benefits, does it mean that system has arranged for me some super trouble? The damn system might as well tell me directly what the trouble is, knowing what the specific problem is, I feel calm, and the feeling of waiting for death is really more painful than death!
