The area surrounding the core zone is still constructed using black crystal ore, creating multiple independent spaces for different work areas. Once inside, the temperature is much higher, and the number of work robots has been reduced by more than half.

In the outer corner of the work area, there is a separate, single-person protective work room used to observe and assist the combined robot in its data collection work.

Compared to the small underwater mine she had visited before, this main mining area, which has been developed into an island base, clearly has a very mature operating process. If she had come a few years later, Li Ke didn't know how much more she could have gained.

Li Ke took the people out of the single room and threw them into the outer area. As for the hostage she was holding, he had difficulty breathing after entering the area. Not wanting him to suffer for too long, Li Ke threw him near the mine entrance.

The temperature there is higher, which will end this guy's suffering faster. He values ​​his life and wears the best quality protective suit even when he's outside.

Even so, Li Ke could still hear the other person's painful, rapid breathing. He could no longer make any human sound until he slowly weakened to the point of being completely silent. This person's repeated provocations had brought him to this deserved end.

Standing at the entrance of the mine and looking down, at the bottom of the huge shaft, there is only a faint, dim light. The components in the air that can be absorbed by the human body have been burned away, warning that this is not a place where humans should set foot.

Originally, only three combined robots stood still in this area, waiting for the solar energy minerals to be transported up from the elevator platform for isolation and handling.

There are currently eight robots. The other five were requested by Li Ke to come in, and they are all currently in a static state.

The mining process was slow. Even after both sides' representatives had arrived, no solar energy ore had been transported up from the mine shaft at the entrance that Li Ke had created in the outer area.

The representatives from both sides were already quite shocked to see Li Ke moving around freely in the core area while wearing only simple protective gear.

Moreover, the woman was perfectly normal, with a string of bombs hanging on her body, it was as if she was putting on a live performance of lighting a fire in an active volcano.

Cage and the Chinese representative reappeared in the outer area. The Chinese team leader invited Li Ke to talk in the outer area, but Li Ke only took a few steps toward the cave entrance before stopping.

"Now, let's finalize the cooperation agreement. China will take 50 percent of the solar energy resources that can be extracted in the future, including the results this month."

Even through the protective goggles, Li Ke could see the surprise on the Chinese side's part and the annoyance of the other side's representative.

"Impossible! We are the ones who conduct the technology research and development, we are the main force in the mining operations, and we own the mining area. This is simply robbery logic!"

Li Ke: "I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you that you must cooperate according to this allocation."

The other party sneered: "On what grounds?"

Li Ke: "With just one action of mine, I can make you lose everything, and all your efforts will be in vain."

The other party looked at the bomb that Li Ke was playing with in his hand and sneered, "You're not trying to fool us with another fake one, are you?"

Instead of engaging in a war of words, Li Ke ordered the five combined robots, which were currently stationary, to stand on the lifting platform.

The other party became even angrier at Li Ke's behavior: "This area has dedicated robots for operation, so don't give orders randomly."

Li Ke also walked onto the elevator platform: "Do as I say, and your mining work can continue. Otherwise, you won't get a single piece of solar energy ore in the coming period."

"If you agree to the allocation according to my requirements, send down two solar energy deposits of the same size; otherwise, your operations will be shut down permanently."

Even though Li Ke was standing on the platform, in a place where her throat would have been burned and she wouldn't have been able to make a sound, she was perfectly fine. And even though they were so far away, her voice still seemed so close, as if she were speaking right in front of them.

Recalling the legendary events that had happened to her, everyone could only watch helplessly as she and the five robots entered the mine.

They wanted to stop it, but they were powerless to do so!

The Western representative turned to the Chinese representative and questioned, "Are you just going to let her do whatever she wants? If the mine is destroyed, we're all finished, do you understand?"

The Chinese representative expressed his innocence: "As you can see, we can't control her. However, to avoid the kind of accident she mentioned, I think it's better for us to sign the agreement as she requested."

The Western representative sneered: "No signing! I don't believe she can actually survive down there. Even if she does, I want to see how many days she can live!"

If the previous mine was a small star, then the mine Li Ke was in now was a sea of ​​stars, its mineral reserves practically blinding her.

After descending into the mine, she immediately stored all the work done by the combined robots in her own space, then put on another set of protective clothing and bent over to work.

These robots working at the bottom of the mine were all very peaceful. Li Ke could collect their harvest without provoking any resistance from them. Their only purpose was to mine the minerals and, once they reached a certain weight, place them into the crystal isolation box on the platform.

If they don't reach the required weight and no robots come to relieve them, they will keep working until they completely break down.

Although Li Ke's space can collect things right now, she can't go in herself for the time being, and the energy inside is much more violent than that in the previous mine.

Li Ke's body was enduring torment while simultaneously absorbing energy. It was a constant and excruciating pain, with no pleasure whatsoever. Every second was a test of his limits.
