A room at the Qingyun Hotel in Shenzhen.
Lin Yun has returned from the sea.
"I didn't expect that these three ships would not only carry iron ore, but also some rare ores, some of which should be associated minerals with iron ore, and some of which should be specialty minerals from abroad..." Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
Iron ore is worthless on the Cosmic Trading System. Even if he sold iron ore worth four or five hundred million Chinese yuan on the Cosmic Trading System, he wouldn't be able to get a hundred Spirit Crystals.
Unless Xinglan acquires it, but Lin Yun is too embarrassed to ask Xinglan to acquire it at a premium every time.
The three ships looked huge, but their construction and functions were simple. Lin Yun had originally planned to buy some repair robots and equipment to fix them, but after having the cosmic trading system calculate them, he gave up on that idea.
It's not cost-effective. If he had a base, it would be better. He could buy some repair robots and equipment, and not only repair three ships this time, but also occasionally repair other things. In the long run, it would be worthwhile.
However, since he didn't have a base, it became very troublesome to do various things.
It's better to sell them directly. There are some shops on the cosmic trading system that specialize in buying these kinds of broken and scrap items. Some items that can be repaired can be repaired and sold for money, while others that cannot be repaired are broken down into various materials and sold for money.
The three ships sold a total of 350 spiritual crystals.
The materials alone are not worth so many spiritual crystals, nor is the dilapidated ship itself worth so many spiritual crystals. The other party gave so many spiritual crystals because they saw that there were some technologies on this ship that could be learned from.
The other party stated that if there were to be another ship like this in the future, three of these ships would only fetch around 270 spirit crystals. However, if the ships were in good condition, the price could be higher.
Lin Yun nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
He roughly checked the prices of these three ships on the internet, and each one should cost no more than one billion Chinese yuan.
Many of these costs are labor costs, which are actually the least valuable aspect of the cosmic trading system.
Selling 350 spirit crystals is already quite good.
Including the iron ore, that's over four hundred spirit crystals in income!
This amount is considerable, but it's not much compared to his current income!
Those rare ores were an unexpected bonus. The rare ores on the three ships sold for a total of two hundred spirit crystals, which was twice as much as the iron ore!
In this instance, Lin Yun amassed over six hundred spiritual crystals!
That's not a small amount!
If I could get this kind of reward again, I could buy a robot with the strength of the early stage of the Transformation Realm!
A glint of light flashed deep within Lin Yun's eyes.
He had already begun to consider whether he should rob the resource warehouses of the Lu and Mo families on land. There must be more resources there, and a single robbery might be enough to obtain spiritual crystals to purchase several robots with the strength of the Transformation Realm!
It feels great to rob the enemy and strengthen yourself!
However, Lin Yun quickly shook his head, forcing himself to give up on that idea!
He robbed these three ships at sea, but thankfully... at most people will speculate that the Mo family is being targeted by an enemy!
He robbed resource depots on land, and so many resources disappeared into thin air. This will surely alarm many forces, and may even alarm some powerful figures!
He might consider some small, rare resources!
However, going to sea today and using a submarine to enter the ocean gave Lin Yun an idea.
Nowadays, most land on land already has owners, so wherever someone builds a base, the secrecy of that base may become a problem.
However, if he were to build a base on the seabed, its concealment and security would likely be quite good.
Furthermore, the seabed also contains a variety of abundant resources. He can explore where resources are plentiful and then purchase specialized equipment from the cosmic trading system to collect them.
Earth's technology struggles to extract resources from the seabed, but this is not a problem for the various high-tech systems in the cosmic trading system.
Think about it, the ocean area on Earth is three times the size of the land area... and it has been rarely developed. The seabed is simply a huge treasure trove. Why would he leave such a huge treasure unexplored and instead compete with others for resources on land?
His current rate of accumulating spiritual crystals is almost enough for him to develop the underwater world on a slightly larger scale.
In fact, when he left the sea today, he had already placed a self-propelled resource-detecting instrument on the seabed.
Let's see what the resource detection instrument reports next.
...
Lin Yun took action around 8 or 9 o'clock.
The Mo family received the information quickly, and were subsequently furious.
Three 200,000-ton ocean-going vessels sank. These vessels, along with their cargo, were worth over 3 billion. Because it was a long-established shipping route, and recently they had been hauling inexpensive goods like iron ore, the Mo family hadn't purchased any major insurance.
In short, the Mo family suffered a huge loss this time!
"How could three ships sink together? Even if they ran aground, it's impossible for three ships to run aground at the same time. Besides, Huagang Shipping has been using that route for many years!" The head of the Mo family was alarmed and slammed his fist on the table, extremely angry.
"Master, according to the reports from the crew of the wrecked ships, the three ships were likely attacked within two or three minutes of each other, and the damage is irreparable..." said a high-ranking member of the Mo family.
"Attacked? In less than two or three minutes, three 200,000-ton ships were each damaged beyond repair. This is not something that ordinary firepower can do. And this is near Shenzhen. Who has such firepower?" the head of the Mo family said in a deep voice.
"We have already dispatched airships to patrol the surrounding area, as well as personnel at various ports who have recently acted strangely, and are investigating the movements of some heavy weapons in China during this period..." the Mo family executive said in a low voice.
"Yes, report back immediately whatever results you find!" The head of the Mo family nodded slightly.
"By the way, before we discover the source of this force, we should tell the other ships not to return, to avoid being attacked again... As for the steel mill, I will send someone to make arrangements!" Just then, the head of the Mo family suddenly thought of something and immediately looked at the Mo family executive again, saying.
“Yes, Patriarch!” the Mo family elder nodded.
"How's the Qingyun Company situation?" At this moment, the head of the Mo family turned to look at another high-ranking member of the Mo family and asked.
"We just had the authorities halt Qingyun Company's production today. They just signed a huge order a while ago, so they probably won't be able to hold on for long..." the Mo family executive hurriedly said.
"Yes, keep a close eye on this matter! Recently, some industries have become increasingly difficult to operate in, such as the Huagang Shipping incident. They might not have made this much profit in two years, yet they suffered a loss all at once!" The head of the Mo family nodded slightly and said.
“Patriarch, I suspect that this might be the work of the forces behind Qingyun Company. We just stopped Qingyun Company’s production at noon, and then tonight…” At this moment, a junior member of the Mo family hesitated.
"Qingyun Company? That's impossible! We just sanctioned them today, and they were able to use such firepower to attack our ships. During this time, they made various arrangements and mobilized various firepower. Even our Mo family might not be able to do it so quickly!" Before the head of the Mo family could speak, a senior member of the Mo family shook his head slightly and said.
"Hmm, it's unlikely to be the work of the forces behind Qingyun Company. Didn't our previous investigation reveal that Qingyun Company doesn't have much influence in either the government or any organized crime circles? Besides, this reaction is too fast!" The head of the Mo family pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said.
"If it really was done by the forces behind Qingyun Company, our Mo family will definitely not let it go. Have someone keep a close eye on Lin Yun and the people around him..." The next moment, a sharp glint flashed in the depths of the Mo family head's eyes as he spoke coldly.
