EVE, I’m such a miner

Chapter 27 Prospecting Team

Selling minerals is the most direct way to obtain profits. If Li Yi is still facing the situation of being kicked out by his landlord, then he will definitely sell all the minerals without hesitation.

However, through the National Guard, Li Yi obtained some loyalty points and exchanged them for a batch of naval ammunition. After selling these naval ammunition, he had paid off his rent.

There is no immediate need for funds, so he is in no rush to sell the minerals.

If these minerals are turned into spaceships and then sold, the price will definitely be higher and the income will be more substantial.

If you want to make money, you have to make more. It is best not to let go of even a drop of profit, engage in production and manufacturing yourself, and keep this part of the profit in your own hands.

Moreover, even if these spaceships rot in his own hands, he will not necessarily lose money. When the price of minerals drops and the valuation of the spacecraft drops, he will destroy all these spaceships. By then, he will not only be able to recover his capital but also make a profit.

Looking at the hunter-level blueprint he placed in Vellore, it was not as if Li Yi had forgotten the blueprint he bought for 14 billion star coins after so many days.

This thing is more precious than all his other assets. How can such a thing be wasted?

For so many days, Li Yi has been placing the blueprint in the scientific research facilities of the space station and conducting research on it, including material efficiency research.

This is part of the scientific research in "Star Wars". It is the most elementary part. There are three directions: material efficiency research, time efficiency research, and copying.

Material efficiency research is to reduce the materials required for manufacturing; time efficiency research is to reduce the time required for manufacturing; copying is to copy the blueprint. Others can copy the blueprint to make a spaceship, but the manufacturing quantity is limited, and the most you can make is a copy. The number of processes above the diagram.

Naturally, Li Yi couldn't waste the blueprint. A blueprint that was developed with both material efficiency and time efficiency in mind was extremely precious.

However, time efficiency is of no use now, so Li Yi is using it to conduct research on material efficiency.

Now, he uses his own blueprint to build a hunter-class mining barge. The amount of minerals required has been reduced by 5%. Although this is still a huge number, it can save a little, just a little, of minerals. , and we can also build more spaceships.

When he thought of this, Li Yi no longer hesitated and made up his mind to start mass production of hunter-class mining barges.

He didn't know how many hunter-class mining barges there were now. Anyway, he had never seen other hunter-class ones. He walked around the high-security area of ​​the Gallente region and basically saw no mining barges.

The only two ships I saw were both spinner-class.

Although the Gyrator-class, Delusion-class, and Hunter-class are all mining barges, the Gyrator-class mining efficiency is higher than that of the Hunter-class, and it is the mining barge with the highest mining efficiency.

"It seems like most people haven't discovered how powerful the hunter class is yet."

Li Yi thought about it. Just as he thought, most clubs invested their funds in the Spinner class. The Blueprint of the Spinner class was more expensive. Based on the idea that the more expensive the better, everyone unanimously chose the Spinner class. level blueprint.

The Delusion level is mainly used to collect gas clouds and ice minerals. These two things are of little use at this stage.

I can't say that the hunter-level blueprint in Li Yi's hand is unique, but it is definitely rare in quantity.

"Whatever is lacking in the market, we will make money on."

Li Yi didn't understand much economic theory. Anyway, he hadn't seen the hunting class on the market, so he felt that this must be a good business.

When those newbies who drive the Charger class discover that the Predator class can easily deal with the Serpentis pirates in the asteroid belt in the low-security area, the high profits in the low-security asteroid belt will inevitably attract a group of newbies to rush to Lowsec, continue the mining business.

So, Li Yi returned to Villore, and traveled to one asteroid belt after another in the galaxy, contacting miners one after another. He wanted to find a mining team in the Villore galaxy to provide him with high-security of three minerals.

Manufacturing hunting grade requires not only a large amount of low-security and zero-security ores, but the most important thing is high-security ores. There is a lot of demand for titanium alloy, crystal-like colloidal ore, and super-silver-like metals in high-security areas.

Although the price of these ores is not too high, the most important thing is that they are huge. A hunter-class carrier needs about 2 cubic meters of minerals. With Li Yi's Itron-class carrier, one pull of the minerals is not enough to make one. A hunter-class ship.

Compared with price, transportation efficiency is also within Li Yi's consideration.

It would be more convenient for him if he could save time and reduce transportation, so he thought of finding a mining team in Vellore.

"Hey, the current mining teams belong to those clubs."

After looking for several mining teams, Li Yi found that the current mining teams are basically affiliated with some gaming clubs and guilds. Only they can now organize a group of players to mine day and night.

The ore from these mining teams is not for sale.

This puts Li Yi in a difficult position. Why is there no separate mining team?

At this moment, a communication request appeared on Li Yi's communicator.

"Oh, who is it?" Li Yi took it, and what appeared on the screen of the spacecraft was an extremely beautiful woman wearing sunglasses. Her ID: Su Xiaotu mm.

Although he knew that you could create an extremely beautiful character by pinching your face in the game, Li Yi was still stunned by the Su Xiaotu in front of him.

Exquisite facial features, a tall nose, and elegant short hair. Although he is wearing a pair of large sunglasses and cannot see the eyes behind the sunglasses, it can still be seen that this is definitely a carefully fabricated character.

"I heard that you are in the mining team to collect ore?"

Su Xiaotu went straight to the topic when she came up, and her voice was very pleasant.

"Yeah, you have a mining team?"

Li Yi nodded. It seemed that this was a player who knew that he was looking for a mining team through other miners.

"Well, I happen to have a mining team with more than ten people. At what price do you want to buy it?"

Su Xiaotu raised her head slightly and said.

“95% off market price!”

Li Yi tentatively quoted a high price. This was based on his experience in "EVE". Generally, the purchase of ore in high-security areas is about 9-9.5% off the market price.

"Why don't you go and grab it?"

After hearing the price, Su Xiaotu was about to hang up the communication.

"Wait a minute, can I get 9.8% off the market price?"

After finally finding a mining team willing to sell the ore, Li Yi certainly didn't want to miss it.

"No, it's too low. Ore is hard currency now, and the market price is the same!"

Su Xiaotu looked determined. It was now a seller's market. Some people even purchased at a higher price. The market price was already her bottom line.

"Row!"

Li Yi also knows that now is the era of mass production, minerals are in extremely short supply, and the market price is the market price. Even if it is the market price, he can still make a profit.

"Okay then, accept the contract!"

Su Xiaotu immediately sent a contract. Li Yi was shocked when he saw the contract.

The transaction amount of the contract actually reached more than 10 billion star coins, which was far more than his wallet. He only had more than 2 million star coins on him now.

"Too many, I only have more than 2 million star coins."

Li Yi quickly rejected the contract. He didn't have enough star coins in his hand. Accepting this contract would only make him bankrupt.

"Okay, 2 million is 2 million!"

Su Xiaotu quickly canceled the contract and reissued a contract based on the ratio given by Li Yi, with a price of just over 2 million star coins.

"Happy cooperation! If you need ore in the future, you can come to me again."

After the contract was concluded, Su Xiaotu didn't talk nonsense.

"Okay, I will definitely look for you in the future, happy cooperation!"

After acquiring enough minerals, Li Yi was also very happy. After he made the hunting grade, he would be able to make back his money soon.

"By the way, add me as a friend so that I don't have to spend 1 yuan in communication fees to find you again."

Then, Li Yi received a friend request from Su Xiaotu.

After adding friends, the person on the other side hung up the communication, and Li Yi looked at his wallet with only tens of millions of star coins left.

"Next, it's time to start manufacturing!"
