It is precisely because of Nassu Mastenbrook's outstanding achievements and his superb talent in robots and space necromancers that Soshyan has become more dependent on him. Not only has he become the second commander of the Astral Knights Combat Robot Team, but he also becomes the second mechanical culprit who can enter the Astral Knights' secret arsenal after Ditrian. In a sense, he has begun to compete with Ditrian.
而纳苏来见到索什扬,主要是因为索什扬在奈森五号办事时,就提前派他到奈森六号来调研这里的矿产资源,而纳苏在分析了奈森六号开采出的各类原矿,并派出自己的勘探队深入地下实地挖掘了一些,并利用仪器进行了几轮探测后,大致得出了一个结果.
从苏纳提交的数据看,奈森六号算是一个矿产还算丰富的行星,其矿物种类大致上与奈森五号差异不是非常巨大,具体储量上由于探测时间短无法得出准确信息,不过重金属原矿的储量应该算中等偏上的水平.
However, there is a very special place in Nyesen No. 6, which is not discovered by the Ministry of Justice—
Nesson VI has an extremely huge gold-rich vein, which was discovered by Suna by chance around an active volcano near the Antarctic on the planet. According to their detection, there was a gold vein that almost stretched across the continent. It was likely that a huge meteorite carrying a large amount of gold elements or even an asteroid directly hit the planet's surface in the early stages of the planet's formation, permanently changing the orbit of Nesson VI. Some of the remaining residues formed a huge gold vein around the impact area as the earth's crust moves.
This also explains why there is a part of the gold mine in the original ore list of the Ministry of Legal Affairs.
However, the Ministry of Justice obviously did not focus so much on the prison world, nor did it invite a very professional mechanical priest to conduct investigations, so that he guarded a mountain of gold but did not find any.
This brings good news to Soshiyan.
要知道黄金在帝国同样是一种稀有矿产,毕竟这种金属元素的形成条件过于苛刻,无论是超新星爆炸,还是中子星碰撞,放在庞大的银河中都是极低概率事件,所以即便是在41千年,黄金依旧是高价值的贵金属.
另外黄金在机械修会的工业体系中也占据重要位置,很多尖端产品和武器都需要用到这种金属,譬如著名的毒刃,其内部各类设施和仪器至少包含了0.4吨的黄金,毒刃的昂贵不仅仅在于其复杂的结构,光是其使用的各类昂贵稀有金属,就决定了其造价低不了.
But why can't gold be the universal currency of the empire?
The very important reason is that the rarity of gold makes it difficult to meet the commercial needs of all worlds in an extremely large empire. In addition, since its establishment, the empire has formulated a law that prohibits private transactions and gold storage. Although it was not strictly implemented at the beginning, small-scale private transactions and holding gold were the default unspoken rules, as time went by and the general poverty reduction of the empire's people, the gold ban became stricter, because this gave the upper class a good excuse to plunder private wealth. (I wrote it myself, don't take it seriously, but I sometimes wonder why gold seems to be very high and low in the empire. It is used everywhere on ships, but it is not very common as a currency. Of course, some worlds use gold coins, but it is not common)
This is why gold can be seen in palaces, warships, churches, and even equipment of the Empire, but it is difficult to see in areas below the Middle Nest.
But gold is a rare precious metal after all, and is naturally a relatively common equivalent for traders or bulk interstellar trade. It has the same status as palladium in the Great Vortex region. However, it will be more valuable in some areas. For example, in places with highly dense populations and large numbers of powerful people, in some border areas, its value will be relatively low. In general, it can be called a very "value" mineral.
Although Nassen V also produces gold, most of them are companion mines, and a few deep gold mines have long been hollowed out. After all, most of the gold elements of the planet exist in the core of the earth.
The large gold vein of Nassen 6 can be said to be a fortune from heaven. According to Nassu's detection results, its potential reserves should be around 5 billion tons.
So Soshiyang instructed Nasu not to rush to move first, prepare the required equipment and personnel, and wait for the relocation of the legal department to go to the mine vein area for mining. After all, it is located in the Antarctic of the planet. The average daily ground temperature is as low as minus 80 degrees Celsius, and in extreme cases it can reach minus 120 degrees Celsius. It is definitely difficult to rely on manpower to mine. Therefore, it is best to use mechanical mining. As for the purpose of the mining, Soshiyang plans to use part to pay for the construction costs of Ulanhuda. To become a new colony, many new facilities are needed to rely on Ulanhuda's mechanical construction team. Although as the other party's loyalty, Soshiyang cannot really make people work in vain. Even if Bangula does not complain, it is not fair to Ulanhuda.
The other part is used to purchase large civilian equipment from Zhao Akada and order new warships. The rest will enter the warship warehouse as a preparatory administrative fee. After all, Soshiyang has added so many subordinate organizations and institutions, and those newly added personnel also need to be paid, especially scholars and technical personnel. They cannot just give stutters.
After basically understanding the situation of Nysen Six, Soshyan immediately set out to the planet at the edge of Nysen Galaxy, Nysen VII.
Nissen 7 is similar to Neptune in the solar system. It is also a gas planet and the largest in Nissen planet. Therefore, it has 10 satellites of different sizes, and from a distance it looks like a huge blue sphere.
This kind of planet has little significance for colonization, because the surface temperature of the planet is often as low as minus 200 degrees, and is filled with a lot of methane, ethane and acetylene. However, for the Mechanical Cultivation, such planets are of great significance because they often represent a source of machinery.
Prosper!
Yes, a considerable number of the progesters used by the human empire are mined from these gaseous planets, and other progesters can also be mined under the ice layer of the frozen world or in the progesters of the dead world. For example, Safinius, a world famous in the Storm Star Domain, is known for its huge progesters.
