On the other side, the person responsible for commanding the Constantine III exploration ship was Chen Wei, the personnel director of Tianhu Mining Co., Ltd.

He is also the leader of the Tianhu Caravan and a confidant of Chen Xiu's father, Chen Long.

Compared to Chen Xiu, a playboy, Chen Wei's communication partner was Chen Hu, the second-ranking figure in the Tianhu Caravan.

"Chen Wei, what's the situation? Can't the miners understand human language?"

Chen Hu's rough voice sounded.

"Brother Tiger, don't worry; everything is going well. Those bastards are quite honest."

Chen Wei gently held his retro gold-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose and smiled.

"This operation is very important. Although Master Zhan Guang kept a low profile in his early years, as he becomes more and more famous now, his previous operations are also being pursued by many people.

If the news leaks out, then our competitors will not be locals like the Kongsha Chamber of Commerce but nobles from all over the kingdom.

By then, I'm afraid it will have anything nothing to do with us at all."

Chen Hu said it in a low voice.

"Brother Hu, I understand. Brother Long has spent a lot of time preparing for today. I personally went to the Duke of the North's territory to secretly purchase this Constantine III exploration ship. How could I not understand the priorities?"

Chen Wei said it happily.

"I'm just worried that what Master Zhan Guang said at the beginning was a small probability. In other words, the greater possibility is that there are actually no goods in the mining area. In that case, the Constantine III exploration ship we bought with a lot of money will not It's not like you're just fooling around."

"Haha, you don't understand this. The so-called small probability is actually just due to Master Zhan Guang's cautious habits.

Brother has deliberately made statistics, and Master Zhan Guang's well-documented exploration conclusions are clear. The ones stating no probability are not counted. Of the remaining reports, nine out of ten reported a small probability.

And among the nine reports with a small probability, the ones that were finally proven to be indeed available were basically around six."

Chen Hu said it in a low voice. The sound sounded like a loud explosion in Chen Wei's ears.

He said excitedly, "Brother Hu, do you mean that the small probability that Master Zhan Guang said is actually a two-thirds probability of shipment?"

"Humph, yes, Master Zhan Guang is so cautious. Two-thirds. For him, it is a small probability."

Chen Hu affirmed.

Chen Wei's heart suddenly surged.

It is no wonder Chen Long has kept this matter strictly confidential. It should be that no one has informed them except Chen Hu.

Even he, the specific person in charge, had to wait until before departure before Chen Hu informed him of the specific details.

"By the way, Brother Hu, if we don't find anything during this exploration..."

Chen Wei suddenly remembered something and said something a little embarrassed.

"Brother Long has already tried to get the original record of Master Zhan Guang's exploration process at that time, and based on this record, he formulated an exploration plan with a high amount of redundancy.

If there are goods in our asteroid belt mining area, it can be determined that they are within the thirteen ranges we have circled.

Although each of these thirteen circles is not small, what is our Constantine III exploration ship used for?

At first, the eldest brother would rather give up and outnumber the Kongsha Chamber of Commerce in terms of the number of assault ships, we have to buy this professional exploration ship on the black market just for its powerful mineral detection performance."

Chen Hu explained calmly.

Chen Wei said with relief, "Brother Long is still the same as taking one step at a time. However, little Xiu seems to have brought a companion with him this time. Brother Hu, what do you think?"

"This operation is a secret among secrets. Regardless of him, do you know anything? Just like those miners, no outsiders can be left behind after the incident."

Chen Hu said it coldly.

"Okay, Brother Hu."

Chen Wei lowered his head and said it respectfully.

Ten hours later, the mixed fleet arrived at the forward base outside the asteroid belt mining area, waiting for the window period to arrive.

In fact, neither the Constantine III exploration ship nor the assault ship are afraid of the meteorite turbulence outside the asteroid belt mining area.

These small meteorite turbulences are not a big problem for their thick armor.

But the same cannot be said for the miners' mining ships.

The other scout ship is docked at the forward base and will not enter the mining area together.

On the one hand, reconnaissance ships are notoriously thin-skinned and are not suitable for entering mining areas.

On the other hand, it is to perform vigilance tasks and prevent miners from escaping.

With the Tianhu Caravan taking over, many personnel changes have taken place within the mining company.

Many faces that Wang Dong was familiar with have disappeared.

The employees on duty at the forward base are no longer familiar employees.

The bartender's attitude was not enthusiastic at all, and the price of drinks in the space bar also skyrocketed by one-third.

Among the interstellar miners whose future is uncertain, no one is in the mood to talk or laugh.

It's Wang Dong again who speaks on the channel first.

"We haven't seen each other for a while, so I'll treat you all to a drink. Bartender, give each of you a glass of Edelweiss."

On the word "Edelweiss," Wang Dong added a slight accent.

 Then the bartender answered coldly.

"I don't have wine like Edelweiss here."

He leaned slightly, and the originally silent channel suddenly became lively.

"Wang Dong, you are so sincere in treating guests."

"It's interesting enough; even the name of the wine is wrong." An old miner took the lead and laughed. He is the oldest miner who is still working in the mine.

 "Hahaha, Brother Dong rarely drinks in space bars. It's normal if he is not familiar with it.. Someone immediately followed to excuse him.

 "Ah, Dong, we all heard it; you want to treat us, so giving the wrong wine name is no reason to back off." This is an uncle with quite a lot of mining experience.

 "Yes, Brother Dong, its a rare treat, so you can't fool us." The booing people followed.

 Wang Dong secretly praised himself in his heart. Sure enough, they are all old people.

 "Edelweiss" is, of course, not the name of the wine.

 It is code between miners.

 It means "radiation." Wang Dong took the risk; ordering wine in the name of "Edelweiss" was naturally a hint to the miners to be careful about radiation.

 After the bartender said that there was no such wine, the most experienced old miners were the first to react and immediately started to interrupt.

 Then The miners immediately followed.

 In a few words, Wang Dong's behavior became natural and not abrupt at all.

 Wang Dong pretended to be embarrassed and smiled: "I'm not familiar with the business; I'm sorry. Bartender, let's switch to sunset. I suggest that we all raise a glass to thank Director Chen for the energy shield he specially installed for us!!" they have Sunset, but it is rarely ordered.

 Among the miners, its connotation is the end.

 It is often a miner who is old, can no longer work, and is ready to retire. After the last mining session, he would go to the space bar and order a drink.

 At this moment, Wang Dong would order "Sunset" for everyone and especially talk about the energy shield.

 Wang Dong seemed to have said it by mistake before meeting him. The meaning of "edelweiss" is self-evident.

 The coldness is deep, freezing the heart and soul.
