Three minutes later, Lin Yun and his group arrived at their destination.
"Is it really gold everywhere?"
Lin Yun looked at the yellow metal scattered all over the ground and took a slight breath.
"Detect!"
The next moment, Lin Yun released the little lion detector and said.
"Beep beep—"
Because the area is very small, the result is obtained in just a few seconds.
"There's only three to five ten-thousandths of gold..."
However, looking at the displayed results, Lin Yun was speechless.
The surface of this small celestial body was all gold. He thought it was at least half gold, and at most, just with a slightly lower density.
Unexpectedly, it was only three to five ten-thousandths of the entire small celestial body.
That's a huge difference.
"Start collecting."
However, since things had already come to this, there was nothing that could be done about being frustrated. Lin Yun could only release the data collection equipment to start collecting data and then carefully examine the other data.
For such a large celestial body, gold accounts for only three to five ten-thousandths of the total amount, which is not a small amount. Perhaps there are other associated resources as well.
Gold is a rare resource, and its associated resources are not much worse, and may even be more valuable than gold itself.
There were hundreds of resources, densely packed together. Upon closer inspection, Lin Yun actually discovered several decent companion resources.
"There's even a rare resource like this, and in such large quantities, very good..."
Lin Yun asked in surprise.
Qi is a rare metal in the universe, one of the core materials for making advanced spaceships and warships. Its value is even higher than that of gold. Its price on the universe trading system is about a hundred times that of gold. According to the test results, the amount of Qi in this small celestial body should be between five hundred tons and one thousand tons.
The price of one ton of gold is around one hundred spiritual crystals.
The price of one ton of Qi is around ten thousand spiritual crystals.
This means that the value of these wonders is between five million and ten million spirit crystals.
But this gain far exceeded the spiritual resources they had expended in this operation.
However, the biggest gain was still gold.
According to the data, the amount of gold in this small celestial body should be between one million and one and a half million tons.
This number is actually quite terrifying...
However, compared to what Lin Yun originally thought was at least hundreds of millions of tons, or even more than a billion tons, it was far from enough.
If it truly reaches one billion tons, that would be the harvest of one hundred billion spiritual crystals.
That's really a windfall.
Unfortunately, it was only a little over one million tons...
If converted into spirit crystals, that would amount to over a hundred million spirit crystals, which is quite a significant gain.
One should not be too greedy.
Lin Yun comforted himself in this way.
The two powerful data collection devices were very efficient; they collected all the resources from the small celestial body in just one or two minutes.
"1.37 million tons of gold, 970 tons of rare materials, 15.19 million tons... totaling between 157 million and 181 million spiritual crystals..."
Looking at the final data, Lin Yun was still very excited.
His assets alone are worth hundreds of millions!
Ha ha!
This is considered quite good among the countless owners of cosmic trading systems!
That's like becoming rich overnight!
Let's not say 181 million spiritual crystals, let's just say 157 million spiritual crystals...
Lin Yun knew that this highest price was actually very difficult to achieve.
With so many intellectual and spiritual achievements, how should we spend them?
Otherwise, how about buying a robot with the strength of an eighth-level cultivator?
Lin Yun had this idea.
He had already witnessed Xingyi's strength.
Very impressive...
If one were to purchase a robot with the strength of an eighth-level cultivator or martial artist, just how powerful would it have to be?
If that unknown civilization is really just a level four civilization, he wouldn't be afraid of that civilization invading if he bought a robot with the strength of a level eight cultivator.
He had read the introduction to the Cosmic Trading System.
A robot with the strength of an eighth-level cultivator is far more powerful than a warship of a typical fourth-level technological civilization. In a battle, a robot with the strength of an eighth-level cultivator could easily cut down a warship of a fourth-level technological civilization!
"Let's sell some of these resources first, and once we've used the spiritual crystals, we'll buy a robot with the strength of an eighth-level cultivator!"
Soon, Lin Yun made this decision.
No one knows when that unknown civilization will arrive, so it's best to strengthen our forces first.
"We've been out for three days, it's time to go back."
Lin Yun looked up, towards the direction of Earth, and smiled.
Having suddenly acquired resources worth over 100 million, he no longer had the mood to painstakingly collect resources here.
This incident gave him an idea: he should go back and do some research to see if there were any similar resource planets around. If he found another one with even more rare resources, he would become rich.
However, he couldn't just leave like that.
He discovered something.
It was what had just happened that inspired him.
He was stuck in a dead end.
He had always thought that only robots with the strength of a Star Realm warrior could effectively collect resources from the stars.
However, he forgot that if he were to use the Starry Sky Car, he could also collect resources using only ordinary robots.
A robot with the strength of a Star Realm warrior can certainly teleport very fast, but is it really necessary to be that fast?
If you use ordinary collection equipment to collect resources from a small celestial body, it will take at least a few minutes, and sometimes tens of minutes, several hours, or even tens of hours, which is quite normal.
So, is there a difference between traveling in tens of seconds and tens of minutes, or even an hour or two?
Most importantly, the Starry Sky Car consumes very little energy, almost negligible compared to the teleportation energy of Star One. This means that the amount of resources collected is almost equal to the amount of profit gained.
"Master, it would be best to have a robot with the strength of a Domain Realm martial artist do this. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, an ordinary robot might not be able to handle it, and the Starship and its equipment could easily be lost..."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Xingyi shook her head.
"Uh...yes, I had forgotten about that." Lin Yun was taken aback, then quickly smiled wryly.
The Starry Sky Roller and its data collection equipment are not cheap. No matter how many small celestial bodies you collect, you might not be able to collect that many resources. It would be a real shame to lose them.
As they spoke, Lin Yun had already checked the Cosmic Trading System for this matter. Xing Yi was right; some Cosmic Trading System owners were indeed doing this, and in fact, many Cosmic Trading System owners dared not be careless about this matter at all.
Because the star regions where they collect resources are mostly not as rich in resources as the star regions on Lin Yun's side, losing a star vehicle and some collection equipment would make the loss even greater.
At the same time, Lin Yun also began to research other methods of resource collection in detail, and considered the feasibility of those methods...
Surprisingly, he actually discovered another method.
It involves sending many ordinary space vehicles and robots to places where there might be abundant resources. Once these robots arrive at their destinations, they report back on the resource information of each location.
Then select high-quality resource locations to collect them.
Because ordinary space cars and robots are cheap, it doesn't hurt to lose them.
However, this method is suitable for use in resource-rich star systems. If used in resource-poor star systems, it may waste a lot of resources and yield very little.
This star system is rich in resources, so if he wants to quickly acquire a large amount of resources, he can consider this method.
