Zerg OL: This game is a bit dry

Although they have not been here for a long time, after all, they are a group of people who have been engaged in related work, so they are very familiar with the situation here.

Through communicating with these people over this period of time, they have basically figured out the current situation here.

The first point is about the most important intelligence mining ship here.

After all, if they want to make a lot of money in the future, it is closely related to this thing, so when they first came here, they also inquired carefully and roughly understood some related information.

First of all, there are three generations of mining ships, excluding the first and second generation mining ships that have been in service for many years. The third generation mining ships are very special.

Because the production technology requirements are too high, the output has always been low, which has also led to the high price. Of course, its functions also correspond to its price. First of all, its collection efficiency is 4 to 5 times that of the first and second generations.

This means that in the same number of days, they can produce several times more quantity.

If you want to buy this kind of mineral spring, the first thing is that you have good channels and relationships, and you can buy it through these channels and relationships.

But even if you have channel connections, the purchase volume will definitely not be low.

This leads to many people not having enough funds to buy them even if they have the channels, and it is rare to encounter a mining team that has enough funds to buy these things.

And even if you have such funds, it won't be of much use, because you still have to consider the competition. After all, you can't be the only one who is interested in this thing. There are other people who may also be interested in it.

Especially for some large mining teams that specialize in mining, it is already very amazing if a mining team has more than 40 ships of their own. You should know that in the mining team they joined now, there are only six ships in total that belong to them.

Of course, this does not mean that they do not have the ability to purchase more ships, but the output of the mining area is there.

To put it simply, the output of each mining area is limited.

It is impossible to say that it is infinite.

These mining equipment require a lot of money to maintain every year.

This means that you must have a stable income for a long time. Once there is no mining, the annual expenses of these things in your hands will be a huge number, so many teams will control their construction according to the actual situation. The team they joined now is, after all, a team that eats scraps.

The so-called scraps refer to some areas with relatively less mineral content, which are not valued by large organizations. However, these are a bit like chicken ribs, which are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away, so they sell them to some small teams for a lot of money. For small teams, the things in the teeth of these large organizations are enough for them to survive.

This is the real situation here. It is for this reason that the number of mining ships in these teams is not too exaggerated. Otherwise, with their output, if they use most of their income to purchase mining ships, it would definitely be a considerable number now.

Of course, it doesn't mean that they only have a few ships for excavation, but they own only these few ships, and the rest are basically rented.

In fact, leasing can be considered a more cost-effective mode. First of all, with this mode of operation, you don’t need to worry about having to pay large operating expenses for your ship when there is no mine to mine.

When that time comes, just stop renting it, and then continue renting it when you have the resources.

This model is naturally one that many people are happy to accept.

It’s just that there is competition in everything, especially in a small circle like theirs, where the competition is very fierce.

So there are a lot of twists and turns involved. If you don’t have channels, you may be cheated and don’t even know what happened.

After understanding the general situation, the captain naturally gave up the idea of ​​this operation. For him, it was safest to buy directly from his own side without knowing the situation in the industry. At least there would not be so many follow-up problems.

But when it comes to purchasing, there is a saying here. First of all, ships of the first and second level technology can indeed be purchased, but it is basically unrealistic to buy ships of the third level technology.

They were lucky before and happened to meet a friend who had connections, which allowed them to get a bargain.

It would definitely be impossible in the future, so they set their sights on the second level. Even though there is a lot of competition at this level, they must make arrangements in advance.

However, considering that one should not be too impulsive in anything and stability is the most important thing, they only paid the deposit for two ships, and when they make more money in the future, they will pay more deposits and expand their fleet in this way.

However, they are also very confused about the future. After all, some things cannot be carried out according to their own plans, and there may always be some accidents along the way.

So they were extremely cautious in every step.

Of course, they also have a complete plan for their future. The first step is to expand their own formation. When the number of their own formation is sufficient, the next step is the key.

Purchase a similar number of combat ships to form an escort formation, and then recruit personnel.

When everything is almost ready, their own team will come out and go looking for mining areas.

Of course, what they found here are basically some small mining areas. Maybe they will dig in one place for 10 days or half a month and there will be nothing left. Then they have to move to the next place to become these wandering miners.

But for them, this is naturally also a way.

At least compared to living under someone else's roof, where they make the lion's share of the money while you only get a small portion, this will undoubtedly increase your income and is a solution they agree with.

But it takes a lot of time to prepare.

Of course, everyone present had already planned ahead.
As time went by, the days passed one by one, and they were slowly moving forward according to their plan.

"Captain, we have already raised the funds for the second ship, and we have already communicated with the seller, so it should be ready for delivery soon."

At this time, a team member saw the message sent by the seller and quickly told the captain about the situation. After receiving the message, the captain thought for a while and then said.

"Has everything been arranged with the mining team?"

"We have found a suitable mining team. I heard there are 12 resource points there, and the entire mining team has about 200 mining ships in total." "I estimate that we can mine there for at least several years. According to our current production, after the things over there are done, we should have all the mineral springs ready here."

After digging here for such a long time, the resources here have been almost exhausted, so now they must set out as soon as possible to find a new mining team.

Having been here for such a long time, of course they have their own channels. It is no exaggeration to say that they are now considered experienced in mining.

The ship they had was very efficient, so they naturally became popular.

After all, for those who set up mining teams, the higher the mining volume of the people they recruit, the higher their income will be, so they naturally hope that the team will be composed of people with high mining volume.

In addition, they have been inquiring about the situation here intentionally or unintentionally over the years, so they basically have a very good understanding of the situation here.

"If nothing unexpected happens to the mining team over there, the mining output should be sufficient."

"However, compared to this side, the commission over there is obviously much higher. But it's normal when you think about it. After all, if the commission is not high when providing such a good resource point, it would really be a problem."

"Since everything has been arranged, we can go there in the near future. Also, tell the seller to deliver the mining ship as soon as possible in the near future, and then we can go there with them."

And so the captain arranged everything.

Time flies and soon it's time to head to the new area.

When the captain and his friends came here, they naturally attracted widespread attention. There was no other way. They not only had a third-stage mining ship, but also two other second-stage ones. This alone was enough to show their extraordinary strength.

"There are actually three mining ships, and they are all highly efficient."

"I estimate that it won't be long before they form their own team."

"It's not that easy to form your own team. Either you have a channel to get these resource points, or if you don't have a channel, it will be troublesome."

“Being a wandering miner may sound good, but in reality, you are living a precarious life.”

"Teams that can get fixed resources can recruit people like us to help with mining. They just sit back and collect money. As long as they have many channels, they can make a lot of money just by collecting money."

"But it's different for wandering miners. No one wants to follow them. It's a dangerous and precarious life, so they can only rely on themselves."

"But if the wandering collectors are lucky, they might be able to take off."

"It's easier said than done. It's not easy to find a large undiscovered mine or a mine of rare ores. It's not as simple as you think. Many times, we are unlucky and just happen to run into the enemy and get wiped out. Compared to a mining team, which is a secure organization, wandering miners have too many unknown risks."

In the ship's chat channel, everyone was discussing that they all knew very well that if they had the ability, they would be willing to take the risk.

Because the ores they collect now are all the most basic ores. If they really want to make money, they must dig for rare ores. Let’s take a simple example. If you mine ordinary ores, you may be able to earn 1 million a day, but collecting rare ores will earn you at least 000 or million, or even hundreds of millions.

There is no need to say how big the gap is.

But it is not easy to become a wandering miner. It is not enough to just have a boat.

You also need to have your own armed formation.

After all, the safe areas have basically been developed. If you want to develop further, you have to go to the dangerous areas.

There is no need to explain how risky it is to travel to dangerous areas.

So if you are unlucky, you might die halfway.

However, if you want to maintain an armed formation, the resources required are not that simple.

Because a complete fleet has many different types of ships, which means that professional personnel are needed and different constructions also require high maintenance costs.

The cost of staff salaries and maintenance, all added up to an astronomical figure every day, and the wandering mining team must first find the resource area, and only then can they start work. Before they find it, they are basically in a loss-making state.

These team leaders were naturally very clear about this, but even so, they still resolutely decided to do this.

The reason is simple. Only when you become your own boss can you really make money. Although their income is not low now, their living standards are gradually improving.

If they really want to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, they need to work harder. When they have earned enough money to spend for a lifetime, then they can relax.

You know, living a stable life in this world is not as easy as you think. After all, wars are going on among civilizations all the time. This means that if you want to control your own destiny, first of all, you must have a ship of your own, and it must be a ship with strong combat power.

It is at least at the strategic level, and can even be higher if conditions permit, because only ships of this level are the main force, while ships of other levels are basically cannon fodder. No one would be happy to have their entire family's life and property depend on cannon fodder.

In this way, they began to work hard for their own small goals. No matter which civilization in this era, they all have a talent for seizing opportunities. Judging from their current situation, they only need to work hard for a few more years, and basically they don’t have to worry about many things anymore. However, even so, they are still willing to take risks to do these things.

In addition to providing their families with a relatively safe and comfortable environment, what is more important is that they know very well that this is an opportunity.

An opportunity to truly take control of your own destiny.

Let me put it this way, for them, they don’t know how much luck it takes to encounter the current situation, to purchase a mining ship, find a mining team, and there have been no major problems in the past few years of mining, allowing them to mine and develop steadily. For them, this is an opportunity.

Since it is an opportunity, we must seize it.

They wanted to see if they could use this opportunity to truly change their family's current situation. (End of this chapter)
