Chapter 124 Damn it, it's unreasonable! It's so unreasonable!
(0124)
No matter how much the content of the ore is, if it is swallowed and spitted by the sandworm, all the dross will be spit out, and what is left is the essence. The sandworm swallows and spits over and over again, which is equivalent to removing all the dross of the ore, leaving only the essence.
What comes out is minerals of extremely high purity. In terms of work efficiency, the throughput of sandworms is much greater than that of some large smelters.
More importantly, sandworms are not picky about food at all. Even if an ore contains less than 1% of the mineral content, less than 1% of the essence will be retained after it swallows it. This is something that all smelters cannot do.
.General smelting plants can only smelt rich ores. They are dismissive of poor ores. It is not a technical problem, but a cost problem.
The cost of smelting poor ore is too high and is completely uneconomical. No company is willing to do business at a loss. Therefore, a large amount of poor ore is discarded. This is very obvious on Aiye Star. Rich ores are mined.
, the rest are all poor ores. The entire Aiye Star is a world of poor ores, with all kinds of poor ores.
In fact, if you add up all the poor ores in Ai Ye Star, the total mineral content is definitely an astonishing number. If someone can extract all the poor ores in Ai Ye Star, let alone affect the ore market of Egret Star.
Even the entire Star Federation's ore market will be greatly affected. Because this number is indeed too huge.
Xia Xingxiao had never thought that he would inadvertently create a new field. This field was the refining of poor ore. The five sandworm larvae seemed to be born to refine poor ore. For them,
.There is actually no difference between rich ore and poor ore. Anyway, they are all swallowed up in a mighty way.
The phagocytic ability of sandworm larvae is very strong. The second-level sandworm larvae can swallow several tons of rocks at one time. As the sandworm larvae grows up, the number of rocks swallowed each time will be more. When the sandworm larvae matures (
After Level 10), it is estimated that there will be no problem swallowing hundreds of tons, tens of thousands of tons, or hundreds of millions of tons of rocks at a time.
Those super-large sandworms can even swallow the entire planet in one bite. A level 20 giant sandworm has a body length of more than 50,000 kilometers and a diameter of more than 5,000 kilometers. As long as it opens its mouth, it can swallow up a moon.
If the level were higher, if you opened your mouth, the entire earth would be gone. Of course, this will all happen in the future.
Deep in the crater, there are some precious minerals, such as molybdenite, bismuthite, etc. These minerals are essential raw materials for Z series energy crystals. And Z series energy crystals are indispensable for battleships.
There is a small source of power. Xia Qianfeng's mineral trading company has a considerable part of its profits, which comes from molybdenum ore, bismuth ore and the like.
Of course, Xia Xingxiao will not let go of these valuable minerals. Saving people is one thing. Making trouble is one thing, making money is another. While making trouble, one must not forget to make money. He always
Dad still only has a few dozen dragon coins, which is not enough. He needs to increase it as soon as possible. His first goal is to increase it to a hundred dragon coins.
Soon, all the valuable minerals were collected by the sandworm larvae and stored in the abdominal spaces. Xia Xingxiao observed the abdominal storage spaces of some sandworm larvae and couldn't help but clicked her tongue. These damn sandworm larvae
, it looks extremely ugly on the outside, but its actual ability is very powerful. In just a short time, the abdominal space of the sandworm larvae was already filled with various high-precision ores.
Damn, these ugly looking guys are not only masters of prospecting and mining, but also masters of smelting. The collected minerals have been preliminarily smelted by them, and their purity is very high. If it is done with instruments
After testing, the purity is at least 90%. As long as it is taken back to my father's ore processing factory, it can be sold directly after final processing and packaging.
Xia Xingxiao is quite clear about the prices of various minerals in the Starry Sky World in recent years. If the abdominal space of the sandworm larvae is completely filled with ore, there will be at least 25 tons of stock. High-purity molybdenite per day
The price per ton of high-purity bismuthite is over 500,000 star coins, and the price per ton of high-purity bismuthite is over 800,000 star coins. Twenty-five tons of high-purity rare minerals have a total value of over 10 million star coins.
This is only the capacity of a second-level sandworm. The sum of five sandworm larvae is worth more than 50 million star coins. And as the level of the sandworm increases, the capacity of the abdominal space will increase geometrically.
The coefficient increases incrementally. When the time comes, the belly space can hold more minerals. It is not difficult to pull back minerals worth billions of star coins at a time.
The abdominal space of a level three sandworm can accommodate at least 100 tons of minerals. The abdominal space of a level four sandworm can accommodate 400 tons of minerals. The abdominal space of a level five sandworm can accommodate 2,500 tons of minerals.
By analogy, the amount of minerals that high-level sandworms can hold is simply terrifying.
More importantly, sandworm larvae mine very quickly. They can fill up their abdominal space in a very short time. Xia Xingxiao made a rough calculation. Based on the mining ability of sandworm larvae, if they were ordered to
If they mine at full power, it will only take them three days at most to fill up the space in their abdomens.
In other words, if all five sandworm larvae are dispatched, it will only take three days to help him earn 50 million star coins. One month is close to 500 million star coins. This is only the second-level sandworm larvae.
If it is a third-level sandworm larvae, its monthly net profit income will reach an astonishing two billion star coins.
"Damn, I was tricked into being a good guy again..." Xia Xingxiao muttered to herself again.
Although he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was used to seeing all kinds of small money, he had never been short of money since he was a child. However, when the profit of billions of star coins every month was placed in front of him
Even then, he was still deeply stimulated.
You must know that sandworm larvae mining does not cost anything at all. The only thing they need to consume is the power of stars. And the power of stars does not cost anything. Therefore, these two billion star coins are pure
Profit. The average annual profit of his father's Chadomi Mineral Trading Company is estimated to be around 500 million. Two billion star coins is the average profit of his father's trading company in four years.
If it is a level four sandworm, this number will be even greater. The storage space of a level four sandworm can hold a full four hundred tons of ore. If there are no accidents, the five sandworm larvae will work together, and each month
The net profit will reach a staggering over eight billion star coins. If it is a fifth-level sandworm, it will be even more, and it must be calculated in dragon coins.
Of course, these are theoretical figures. In fact, the real profits cannot be so high. First of all, sandworms may not be able to find so many valuable minerals. Secondly, in the process of mining minerals, it may not be smooth sailing.
.Besides, the five sandworm larvae may also participate in battles, interstellar flights, etc., and may not have much time for mining.
However, with the powerful prospecting, mining, and smelting capabilities of the sandworm larvae, there is no problem at all in maintaining half or one-third of the theoretical level every month. And even one-third of the profit
, which is also very impressive. As long as he ensures a profit of 500 million per month, Xia Xingxiao can do many, many things.
Since the profit of sandworm larvae mining is so high, why didn't others choose sandworm larvae? It's all because of the mysterious beads. Without the function of the mysterious beads, the core of the sandworm larvae cannot expand, and the number of star channels will also be reduced.
If it cannot be increased, the mining ability of sandworm larvae will be greatly weakened. An ordinary sandworm larvae can earn hundreds of thousands of star coins every month, which is considered good.
However, hundreds of thousands of star coins are really nothing in the eyes of cultivators. If you waste the precious success rate of cultivating demons in the Tao Heart for just a few hundred thousand star coins, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
.Only a second-generation ancestor like Xia Xingxiao would not take the Tao Heart Seed Demon seriously. Only a pervert like him would take sandworm larvae as life-saving beasts.
Thinking of the billions of star currency income every month, Xia Xingxiao didn't think about how the money should be spent. After thinking about it, the only thing he could think of was to deposit it in a bank and collect interest.
Otherwise, all of it would be transferred to my father’s company, and it would surely grow and develop.
"Chichi!"
"Chichi!"
While planning for the future, suddenly, the five sandworm larvae began to twist uneasily.
Xia Xingxiao thought that the sandworm larvae were in trouble and were being attacked or something. He was about to go to the front to see what happened. As a result, he soon felt strong energy fluctuations. And these energy fluctuations came from the sand.
It came from the body of the sandworm larvae. If you guessed correctly, it should be that the sandworm larvae have absorbed enough star power and are ready to advance.
"Damn it, no way? The upgrade speed is so fast?" Xia Xingxiao couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.
Calculating carefully, it seems that it took him less than 300 hours to collect these five sandworm larvae. They had already been upgraded to one level before, and now they have to be upgraded again? Damn, it’s so fast? Isn’t it better than my upgrade?
It’s much faster? It’s unreasonable, it’s so unreasonable. Is the power of the stars contained in WST rays really so abnormal?
Sure enough, under Xia Xingxiao's own eyes, the body of the sandworm larvae was continuously being stretched. The space that was forcibly pulled out was filled with the power of the stars. The body that was originally only fifty meters long was pulled alive.
One hundred meters. The body diameter of the sandworm larvae has also increased from the original five meters to ten meters.
