The Universe Mineral Trading Market is just left at the end of this road. Both sides of the street are lined with mineral shops. They are simply decorated and the storefronts are covered with dust. None of them are kept bright and shiny.
However, the small piles of mineral samples in front of the store are quite nice to look at. They are golden and exposed there openly, without any fear of being stolen.
Su Xiaocai identified the mineral piles and found that they were all ordinary gold ores. The entire pile might not be able to produce a few dollars. The thing that the universe lacks the most is gold.
It has a wide range of uses and strong ductility, but the quantity is really large.
The reason why it is called gold is that before humans started space travel, the uses and reserves of gold on the planet were suitable for being used as a metal to measure currency.
After dusting off the surface of Su Xiaocai's gold ore, it still looks good even though it hasn't been refined into high-purity gold.
Buy a few pieces and make some jewelry, it will definitely be gorgeous.
In the end, Su Xiaocai gave up buying gold ore. There was a lot of gold for sale online, and a whole piece could be bought for about a hundred yuan.
It is easier and less laborious than practicing it yourself.
Su Xiaocai continued to stroll around, feeling a bit bored. On this all-mechanical planet, the scenery was all the same.
The birth rate is approaching zero, there is no laughter of children, and people's desire to play is reduced to a minimum.
After walking for a while, we found that the door of one of the shops was crowded with people. It was very lively. From their shouting, it seemed that star gold had been unearthed from the mine and the merchants all wanted to squeeze in to buy it.
There is no shortage of star gold Su Xiaocai for the time being. Wu Qingqing promised to find seeds and minerals for her, including five kilograms of star gold.
Star gold is usually used as one of the coatings for surface machinery in space. A very thin layer can resist the impact of low temperatures on machinery.
Buying ore directly is risky, as there is a possibility of buying ore with low content. Su Xiaocai doesn't like to gamble.
She didn't go into the busy store. Instead, she went to a metal store that sold semi-finished products. The ores that had been simply processed would be more expensive, but the clerk would proactively tell you the approximate percentage of the mineral content, and the purity of the main mineral would be much higher.
Su Xiaocai didn't expect that as soon as she entered, she would encounter the "Green Life Crystal" powder ore that she had been looking for for a long time.
Green Life Crystal has minerals similar to crystal forms, as well as powdered minerals. Many people do not recognize this powdered mineral and only regard it as a metal mineral.
Green Life Crystal is also sold online, but the price is inflated and it is sold as a medium-quality jewelry gem.
She is a money-saving expert who always cuts down a dollar or two from her seed shop, so how could she be taken advantage of?
Green Life Crystal is the most important companion crystal for the growth of Min Fruit. Only with it will Min Fruit be willing to bloom, bear fruit and reproduce.
Whether the Min Guo can be successfully planted depends on it. She plans to create a fake origin for Min Guo so that it will think it is still growing in its original place.
After Su Xiaocai bought all the minerals in the store at what she thought was an extremely low price, the clerk's mouth almost stretched to her ears as she respectfully saw the distinguished guest off. She had never expected that such a useless mineral with a long history would be bought out like that.
Nothing lasts forever.
The boss was right. There is no shortage of discerning customers in this world. They all have a unified name: suckers.
Su Xiaocai suddenly felt a chill on her back. Hey, who is complaining about her?
Touching the ore in her hand, Su Xiaocai had already imagined that in the future, Su's planet would be able to plant hundreds of acres of sweet fruit, and money would flow into her pocket.
hey-hey!
"Tell me, where is my son? He went into the mine with you and hasn't come back yet. Where did you take him?" In front, a tall man in black clothes roared fiercely at a young employee. He kicked the pile of broken ore, breaking it apart.
The young employee scrambled to gather the ore back and said, "Brother, I don't know what you're talking about."
"You still say you don't know, but you took him away." The man grabbed the young employee by the collar. "You won't tell me, right? I'll beat you until you tell me."
The young employee's cheek swelled up after he was knocked down by a punch. "I really don't know. We went to different places after entering the mine. I didn't even know he didn't come out."
"You still dare to say you don't know. It was you who introduced him to the gold mine. You were wrong for not bringing him out." The man hit him hard, each punch hitting the flesh, as if to vent his anger.
The young employee curled up as much as possible and hugged his head, screaming in pain.
Seeing that the young employee was about to be beaten to a pulp, someone shouted, "Stop it! You don't like your son and have always treated him as a burden. Is it worth killing someone for him?"
The man was a well-known gambler in the neighborhood. He shouted, "Even if he's a burden, he still belongs to me. This guy must have sold him, and he had to go through me before he could sell him. Where's the money?"
Essentially, men just want money.
When the young employee heard that he was asked for money, he didn't even dare to cry out in pain and let the fists fall on him.
He has no money. If he is not poor, who would want to go into the mine? Any mine is dangerous.
Especially for mines in space, once the space suit is damaged or the mine collapses, there is no chance of survival.
Nowadays, many mines are developed by robots, but robots are not as cheap as human labor, and machines also need to rest and replenish energy.
Someone must be watching over them to ensure that if these robots break down, someone can take them out in time.
If the junior employee wasn't poor, he wouldn't do this job.
He was just helping a mine owner lead people into the cave. He also went in at the time, and when he came out, everyone was fine. How could he have known that his son would go missing?
"Forget it, forget it. You might as well call the police and find your son. When did he disappear? Could it be that he was playing around or was afraid of you and deliberately stayed home?"
"You're still speaking well of him. Do you know that all the people he brought into the mines are missing?"
Hiss, they are all missing?
How many people would that take?
Everyone was skeptical, but if the young employee really kidnapped someone and made them disappear, he would be guilty of a serious crime.
