Volume 5: The Destruction of the Gods Chapter 13: Harvest and Departure...
It only took Shen Jin and his team half an hour to return to Badakhshan Province. "We have collected enough [Lapis Lazuli] this time. Let's go back and equip the corpse-killing teams with [Electric Jet Packs]. Their speed will increase 10 times! Ultimate fun~!"
However, Shen Jin thought about it and suddenly realized...
There is no electricity.
[Electric Jet Pack] Can fly 1,000 kilometers per hour, but... it consumes 30,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity!
If a team of a thousand extraordinary people set out together to carry out a mission, they would consume... 30 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every hour on the road.
This is an extremely terrifying number!
This is equivalent to the daily power generation of a thermal power station equipped with four 300,000-kilowatt units, which is a huge consumption!
The [Mining Laser Gun] is also a big electricity consumer. A full charge can spray 30 bombs with the explosive power equivalent to [TNT]. When all personnel are equipped with it, it can replace some of the [Crystal Core Bombs]. They... will recreate the glory of the era of thermal weapons!
The prerequisite is that Shen Jin has enough power to support his subordinates to use these two things.
"If there is not enough electricity supply...it is difficult for these advanced industrial machines and equipment to exert their maximum power!"
The [Advanced Industry III] that was opened later also had several large electricity consumers. The [UU Matter Generator] that claimed to be able to replicate everything consumed enough electricity to paralyze the three major wind power plants in Home No. 1. "Forget it, let's collect enough minerals first, and then worry about electricity when we get back. In a few days... Zhao Chao should be able to find fuel for the nuclear power plant from City D. We must build a nuclear power plant when we get back..."
After returning
"Yes, your special ability is really for being lazy!"
"It's scary. Without my control, the shadow can't do anything. It has no senses... But it's enough to subdue them!"
Shen Jin gave a thumbs up, "Bold, careful, and the needle won't poke!"
Sun Li asked, "Boss, is everything going well? You smell like blood... Did you kill someone? No, you killed zombies?"
"Yes, we eliminated a small zombie group of 50,000 on the way to mining!"
Shen Jin discovered that Sun Li's observation and thinking abilities were relatively strong. Although he seldom fought and had no sense of presence, but... Shen Jin knew that Sun Li's combat ability was quite strong. The black shadow was equivalent to his clone, and possessed strength and physical strength comparable to that of a power-type extraordinary person of the same level. He was also fearless and could recover after a period of time after being killed. In addition, he was also a second-level extraordinary person. Although he was not as good at fighting as the black shadow, he could cooperate with the black shadow to launch a stronger attack. Sun Li had two weapons, one Mayuling cleaver for the shadow, and one [nano sword] for himself, and he could cooperate with his shadow very well.
This is also the reason why Shen Jin asked him to stay here. Even if he does not take the third-level supernatural food, Sun Li can still defeat the extraordinary people of the same level.
It only took Shen Jin and his team one day to go to Kabul and back. A large number of mining machines were still collecting minerals outside. "Let's go and see how the mine is doing!"
Several people flew to the mine outside, and the [mining machine] was still working with a roar...
Shen Jin checked each [mining machine] and found they were running well!
But if they want to mine all the detected minerals, they need to dig for another two days. The extraordinary person who was guarding here came over and reported: "Boss, the first 27 boxes are full. I put them all in my backpack. This is the second batch, and it's almost full!"
"Well, divide the full storage boxes evenly and leave some space !"
After the mines here were harvested, Shen Jin took three old miners to the old lapis lazuli mine where they had mined before. The miner said, "Dear Mr. Shen, the mine has been mined there for more than 20 years. The mine is whiter than Aunt Jie Ke's butt. If there is no means of detection, it is not recommended to go there. It is a pure choice of luck!"
Miner 2: "That's right... Thanks to the Lord's blessing, every year there are some people who find a few pieces of lapis lazuli with good quality. But... you said you need to measure it. That's a thankless mine!"
Miner 3: "Maybe, I say maybe. I know a mine that produced diamonds before the end of the world. There may be some more valuable gems there. The bigwigs in your country will definitely like them. Oh! No one can resist natural diamonds!"
Shen Jin could see that these miners were truly thinking about him. The rice and salt had already played a role. Shen Jin was very happy to see this. It was okay to give them some compensation, as long as they worked hard. Shen Jin hated ungrateful people who only liked to do things for money.
Badakhshan Province is almost entirely made up of mountains. Without local miners to lead the way, it would be too inefficient for Shen Jin and his team to go from mountain to mountain. In addition, they might be restricted by the scanning range of the [OD Scanner] and miss some good mines. "It doesn't matter. Just take me to the mines that once produced [lapis lazuli] and [diamonds]. I have my own way to find the mines!"
The scanner is a good thing. Shen Jin and his men can use the scanner to dig accurately into the old mine!
With the power of the [Mining Laser Gun], there is no mine that cannot be dug.
After the three old Afghan miners finished talking, seeing that Shen Jin insisted, they naturally took him to the two largest lapis lazuli mines in Badakhshan Province and a mine that might contain diamonds.
Three days later…
Shen Jin took a [wrench] to dismantle the [mining machine] and many [bronze pipes] and [copper insulated wires]. The other extraordinary people in the team evenly distributed the full [steel storage boxes] to everyone's bag. Li Moxiao was carrying 521 pieces of [diamond ore] that Shen Jin had dug from the mountains in the past two days. "Three old men... Not bad! You helped me find so many diamonds, you must reward me!"
Shen Jin was just trying his luck, but after testing the [OD Scanner], he actually discovered a small diamond mine!
The amount of diamonds in it is not large, only 521 pieces were dug out, and the number of [diamonds] produced by [diamond ore] is very low, far less than the output of [redstone ore] and [lapis lazuli ore]. This is related to the natural properties of diamonds. Shen Jin tried to burn a few pieces with an [electric furnace]. On average, each piece of [diamond ore] can produce 2 [diamonds] . However, even so, Shen Jin also harvested more than 1,000 diamonds, making a lot of money!
During this trip to Afghanistan, he gained far more than he had imagined, especially... enough [lapis lazuli] to completely destroy the zombies and a large amount of high-purity graphite. After decomposing it when he returns, he can also get a huge amount of [redstone]. The [copper ore], [iron ore] and a small amount of [emerald ore] he dug up are just extras.
【Advanced Industry III】, the future is promising!
"Let's go. It's time for us to go to Afghanistan's neighboring country, Pakistan! There is a secret about China and Pakistan there..."
…
After Shen Jin and his companions left, the small camp in the mountains of Badakhshan Province in Afghanistan returned to its previous state. One of the old men who was talking nonsense said that the Chinese would eventually kill them all, but the prophecy did not come true. Now the old man is pretending to have Alzheimer's disease...
On the day Shen Jin left, there were three fewer elderly people in their camp and three more middle-aged people.
"Huh? Where did Cath go? Did you see Cath?"
There is one young girl missing...
