“A mine that produces 100% associated minerals?”
Facing Chen Xing’s question, Zhao Chang hesitated for a moment, and then explained :
“Brother Xing, in fact, mines of all levels have a chance to produce associated ore, and mines at the primary level have only a 1 in 100,000 chance of producing associated ore. This is equivalent to digging 100,000 tons. A piece of associated ore can be selected from the ore.”
“Small-scale mines have a 1 in 10,000 chance of producing associated ore. This is equivalent to digging 10,000 tons of ore to be selected from it. A companion ore is produced.”
“Medium-sized mines have a 1 in 1,000 chance of producing a companion ore. This is equivalent to digging a thousand tons of ore to select a companion ore. “
“Large-scale mines have a 1% chance of producing associated ore. This is equivalent to digging 100 tons of ore to select a single associated ore.”
“There is also a special kind of mine, which may not be very large in scale, or even relatively hidden, but contains very fertile minerals that can be found but not sought after. This kind of special mine is also called a fertile mine. If you have a fertile mine and dig ten tons of ore, you can select a companion ore! If you have a fertile mine, you have a real economic lifeline!”
“From Compared with the lifespan of the mines, primary level mines can only be excavated for five years. Mines can be dug for ten years, medium-sized mines can be dug for fifty years, and large-scale mines can be dug for a hundred years!”
“As for fertile mines, it can be dug for five hundred years! !”
Hearing this, Chen Xing immediately asked: “How much can I buy this kind of fertile mine?”
Zhao Chang smiled bitterly, “Brother Xing , the fertile mines are priceless, many Great Families spend a lot of money to hire mercenaries to explore around, just to find the fertile mines. Anyone who finds them will immediately send heavy troops to protect them, and no one will get involved.”
Chen Xing nodded slightly, “You’re right. So, how much does a large-scale mine cost?”
Phaeton couldn’t help but ask: “One hundred million?”
Zhao Changshook the head.
Wang Meng asked with a horrified expression: “Ten billion?”
Zhao Chang was still hooking the head.
Han Xuan said: “Don’t guess, it’s 100 billion star coins.”
Zhao Chang was nodded, “As expected of the Eldest Young Master of Han Family, Sure enough.”
Han Xuan laughed, “I have now been cleared out of the Han Family. Zhao Chang brother, you should continue to explain to Brother Xing.”
Zhao Chang He immediately said, “There are only four large-scale mines in the northern region of the Zhulu Empire, not even the Northern Command. The closest large-scale mine to us is currently in the fifty-seventh district. under the “ruling” name of the Five Big Territory. “
“So, like large-scale mines, medium-sized mines, or even small-scale mines, we don’t think about it – our 100 million star coins are simply not enough. “
Wang Meng asked unconvinced, “isn’t this too ridiculous? Can 100 million star coins be bought even by small mines? I heard that there was a wealthy businessman who wanted to use 100 million star coins to buy a small mine in the Northern Command! “
Hei Liu immediately echoed: “That’s right! I’ve heard it too, it seems like it was two or three years ago! “
Zhao Chang said with a smile: “The question is, has the North Command sold it? “
Wang Meng and Hei Liu blinked and stopped talking.
Zhao Chang continued: “One hundred million star coins is indeed not a small amount, but it is still impossible to buy.” to a small mine. The reserve price of a small mine in the market is about 150 million star coins, with a maximum of 20 million star coins floating up and down. “
“In other words, if you want to buy a small mine, you need at least 130 million star coins, and it depends on whether the other party is willing to accept our bargain. “
Yu Xin said: “Brother Xing now has 118.15 million, and it is not far from 130 million. We try to make it together, and we should be able to collect enough.” right? “
Zhao Chang still called the head, “Brother Yu Xin, what you think is too simple. Even if we could scrape together the money to buy a small mine, where would the money for the excavation equipment come from? Where do miners’ wages come from? Where does the money for washing mines come from? Most importantly, where does the money to look after the mines come from? “
“If there is no one to take care of the mine, then the ore we excavate will inevitably be snatched away by interstellar robbers and mercenaries!” “
“You are all border troops, and you need to be stationed on your own borders. You can’t go to the mines to protect the mines in person, so the money for protecting the mines cannot be saved, nor can it be saved.” ”
“So, buying a small mine might seem inexpensive, but to make a small mine run, at least 200 million star coins must be spent! ”
Hearing this, the team members were silent.
The joy of learning that Chen Xing had 100 million star coins just now was diluted a lot.
Yes, 100 million star coins can be squandered for an ordinary person for almost a lifetime.
But for them who want to develop their own power and seek future hegemony, it is It’s an utterly inadequate measure.
Although Chen Xing was a little disappointed, he was already fully prepared for this.
He smiled lightly, “It seems that , our money is only enough to buy primary level mines. “
Zhao Chang nodded, “Yes Brother Xing.” The number of primary level mines is relatively large, so it is relatively cheap, about 60 million star coins can buy one. If you leave it to me to negotiate, I can lower the price to within fifty million star coins. Coupled with the funds needed to operate the primary level mine, 100 million star coins is just right. ”
Chen Xing is slightly frowned.
Primary level mine, lifespan is only five years old, and there is only a 1 in 100,000 chance to produce secondary mines.
And The associated ore produced is not necessarily gemstone or elemental stone.
Compared to other higher level mines, it is indeed far worse.
This After spending 100 million star coins, there is no effect at all in a short period of time.
Seeing Chen Xing being silent, Hei Liu smacked his lips, “I said, why do we put so much effort into it? Son? Isn’t the mine just able to produce some associated mines? These associated minerals are not necessarily what Brother Xing needs. In my opinion, it would be better to use money to buy associated ores directly, buy gems if you need gems, and buy element stones if you need element stones, how good is that? “
Once the other team members heard it, they were also nodded.
“That’s it, just buy it now. “
Zhao Chang said with a smile: “This method seems to be less labor-intensive than buying a mine, but it is very uneconomical in the long run. Let’s not say anything else, just say that if we fight with other forces in the future, our ammunition supply and energy supply are cut off, and no one has money to sell us arms, what should we do? “
The team members are all dumbfounded.
Zhao Chang continued: “If you have your own mine, and then develop your own arms factory, you will not be controlled by others in the future.” “
