Chapter 108

"Of course, I studied the layout of this giant corporation's industries on Molten Iron Star on the way there."

"Their main purpose was to mine a metallic substance called 'Superconducting Metal' on Molten Iron Star. This superconducting metal is very special. Although its uses are not as broad as X-7674 special alloy, it is widely used in the core parts of various mechanical prosthetics, and its value is more than a hundred times that of the same weight of X-7674 special alloy."

"Superconducting metal ore is different from ordinary iron ore. Most of the time, it can only be underground, because long-term exposure to various electromagnetic storms in the universe will cause the superconducting metal to lose its properties and turn into a pile of scrap iron. Also, because the place where the superconducting metal exists has a very strong magnetic field, almost any surveying equipment is not very effective, so if you want to collect this metal, you basically have to rely on luck."

"The giant company that took a fancy to Molten Iron Star at that time was called Galaxy Heavy Industries. After many explorations, they discovered that there were superconducting metal mines on this planet. They also hired many related experts and conducted nearly twenty years of exploration, but they never dared to directly purchase equipment for excavation. In the end, because the company had major problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy, they had no choice but to take a gamble, betting that there were a large amount of superconducting metal on Molten Iron Star."

"I told you the final result before, and of course it was not very good. After the planetary mining machine was sent to Molten Iron Star, it only worked for less than a year before it mined all the superconducting metal on it. The money earned from this little superconducting metal was not even enough to recover the cost. Galaxy Heavy Industries directly announced bankruptcy and reorganization overnight, and the mining work on Molten Iron Star was directly suspended indefinitely, and all the workers on it were evacuated."

"It's just that the planetary mining machine and large building manufacturing modules are too large and difficult to transport, so they were directly sealed on the planet after that, and no one has ever touched them."

"Unless a new rich ore planet is discovered nearby, or there is a planet with less extreme conditions that needs to be transformed, the fate of these two machines is to mildew on Molten Iron Star and eventually become one with Molten Iron Star."

Bai Lu shrugged:

"This X-7674 special alloy production line should be a byproduct of Galaxy Heavy Industries mining superconducting metal."

"After all, there are indeed a lot of other types of metal on this planet. Since they are already here, it would be a bit of a waste to only mine superconducting metal and leave other metals behind. It is definitely a loss to transport this kind of ordinary metal using interstellar routes, but if you directly process the original ordinary metal into X-7674 special alloy on Molten Iron Star and then pull it out to sell, although you won't earn much, you will still earn something."

"The raw materials required for X-7674 special alloy are actually not complicated. It is probably made of aluminum, iron, and some relatively rare metals in special proportions. The raw materials are all over the universe and are not difficult to find. You should have a lot there. You can use it when you take it back."

"So this is a free gift?" Su Yi joked.

Bai Lu couldn't see this thing, but it was too attractive to him.

According to Bai Lu, X-7674 special alloy can only be regarded as a relatively ordinary alloy in their world, and its uses in all aspects are very similar to basic items such as steel.

There are no particularly outstanding advantages.

But this also means that there are no obvious shortcomings.

This thing is useful for everything.

Coincidentally, with the current level of technology on Blue Star, Su Yi really doesn't need an alloy that is very outstanding in some aspects, but also has obvious shortcomings and limited uses.

This kind of bucket alloy that can be used for any purpose is very suitable.

So although he was half-joking about whether this was a gift, he was just saying it.

He would definitely not give less of what should be given to others.

However, what he didn't expect was that Bai Lu actually took these words to heart. Hearing this, she waved her hand indifferently:

"Anyway, the transaction space is infinitely large, and it's just a matter of convenience to bring these things. You can have them if you want. I have no use for them."

"And there are more than just these gifts."

"In addition to the complete production line of X-7674 special alloy, I also found a lot of finished products of various metals in the warehouse of their abandoned base. Among them, there are no less than 5 million tons of X-7674 special alloy alone, 1 billion tons of steel that has been mined and refined, 2.3 billion tons of copper, and 3.1 billion tons of aluminum. I'm too lazy to report other metals that don't exceed 1 billion tons. Anyway, there's still a lot."

"In addition, there are massive amounts of various industrial raw materials, such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc., that are countless. I don't know if these things are valuable in your place. Anyway, since I've already gone there, and the transaction space is still infinitely large, I've brought them all to you."

As she said that, she handed a list to Su Yi:

"Here, this is the list, take a look for yourself."

"I guess this should be the last batch of minerals dug out before Galaxy Heavy Industries went bankrupt and reorganized. Most of them have not yet been made into alloys through the X-7674 special alloy production line. The 5 million tons of alloy are probably because the quantity is too small, so they didn't bother to transport them away and just left them all there."

Su Yi looked at the list and couldn't help but swallow.

The 1 billion tons of steel almost blinded his eyes.

What is this concept?

The entire Kyushu's annual steel production is only about 1 billion tons, which is already more than half of the world's steel production.

He just got so much for nothing, which is definitely a huge profit.

The subsequent 2.3 billion tons of copper and 3.1 billion tons of aluminum are even more outrageous.

The entire Blue Star's annual copper production is only over 20 million tons, and he got 2.3 billion tons in one go...

That means he will hold the copper of Blue Star for the next hundred years in his hands.

Not to mention aluminum, its production on Blue Star is not as good as copper.

Not to mention a lot of other metals.

Among them, there are 200 million tons of finished silver alone.

This thing, in addition to being used as currency in ancient times and as jewelry in modern times, is also an extremely excellent industrial raw material and conductor.

It is very valuable on Blue Star.

It is no exaggeration to say that Su Yi can become richer than a country just with these things.

And this is just a gift he got during a transaction with Bai Lu. Looking at Bai Lu's indifferent expression.

Obviously, for them, these resources are nothing at all.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a civilization capable of interstellar navigation. They simply don't take these basic resources seriously.

Blue Star lacks these things because it is trapped on a small planet and cannot go out.

If they could have mature interstellar mining technology like their world, they probably wouldn't take these resources seriously either.

Compared to a small planet, the boundless universe is still too rich.
