“What?! Gold has been found?! Wait for me below!” Luo En said in shock as he pressed the small token.

Logically speaking, it was unlikely for gold ore to be mined in such a remote place. Now that he had heard this from his very own men, how could Luo En not be shocked and excited?

Then, he looked at Hei Long and asked, “Brother Hei Long, do you want to take a look?”

Hei Long replied without hesitation, “Definitely! I have only seen gold appear once or twice! To us, small mobile cities, this is equivalent to a miracle!”

Without saying another word, the two of them hurried down from the Black Dragon Mobile City.

The worker below was already waiting. When he saw Luo En coming down, he hurried forward and said respectfully, “City Lord! We have found gold ores!”

Luo En looked at the worker and said calmly, “Take me there!”

“Yes, City Lord!”

With that said, the worker led Luo En and Hei Long straight to where the gold ores were.

After a short while, the three of them arrived at the site. It was a gently-sloped cave with a diameter of 20 meters. On the sides deep within the cave, they could see some faintly glowing rocks—ores! At this moment, all the workers had gathered around to watch.

“Greetings, City Lord!”

The workers greeted Luo En respectfully as he approached.

Luo En nodded and said, “Zhang Bo! Take me inside to take a look!”

“Yes!”

Zhang Bo replied respectfully. Then, Luo En sat on the mining machine while Zhang Bo personally drove the mining machine and brought Luo En toward the bottom of the cave.

The entire cave was a little dark inside, but there were lights in front of the mining machine. Along the way that the mining machine passed, they could see, from time to time, glowing ores on the sides. The cave was quite deep; after descending for more than a hundred meters, then the mining machine came to a stop.

After the mining machine had stopped, Zhang Bo said, “City Lord! We have reached the bottom. The gold ores are not far away!”

Upon hearing Zhang Bo’s words, Luo En turned to look at Zhang Bo and nodded. “Yes! Let’s continue!”

Then, the mining machine continued to move forward. After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the site.

Seeing light glowing at the corner in front of him, Luo En became excited. He got out hurriedly from the vehicle, put on his radiation-protective suit, and went to the corner. Zhang Bo followed closely behind him.

“Are these gold ores?” Luo En said in shock as he stared at the glittering yellow rocks in front of him.

In his previous life, he had only seen gold ores on television. Now that he was looking at gold ores with his own eyes, Luo En realized that the gold ores were slightly different from the gold ores he had seen on television in his previous life. The ores he saw on television were the unevenly distributed kind, but the gold ores in front of him had gold on the entire surface.

Furthermore, he had learned, from the books he had read in the mobile city, that only the innermost core of the gold ore in this world was ordinary rock. The rest was gold.

“Zhang Bo! Continue to dig carefully on the sides and see if there are any more gold ores!” Luo En looked at Zhang Bo behind him and said. After speaking, he walked a distance away to give the mining machine enough clearance.

“Yes!” Zhang Bo replied respectfully.

Then, he returned to the mining machine and used both hands to move the control levers up and down in coordination. Under Zhang Bo’s control, the two mechanical arms in front of the mining machine started digging the areas around the gold ores.

As time passed, the two mechanical arms had already excavated the areas around the gold ores, but no more gold ores were found.

Seems like this is just a coincidence… but this is already good enough… Luo En thought to himself.

Then, he stopped Zhang Bo and said, “Forget it if you don’t find any more. It’s already a great fortune to have these. Extract all the gold ores!”

“Yes!”

Zhang Bo, sitting in the vehicle, felt a sense of disappointment. But, after thinking about it, he felt comforted. After all, it was already very good to discover gold ores in such a remote place.

Under Zhang Bo’s control, the two mechanical arms moved toward the gold ores. Zhang Bo’s forehead was covered in sweat as he focused intently on the mechanical arms in front of him to avoid any mistakes.

Finally, after yet another half an hour, all the gold ores in the area had been extracted by Zhang Bo.

“Let’s go! Up!” Luo En said happily as he looked at the gold ores wrapped within the mechanical arms.

“Yes, City Lord!”

Thus, the mining machine returned to the surface the same way it came.

“Are these gold ores? I’ve never seen them before!”

“Who has? I’ve never seen them before either!”

Everyone looked at the gold ores in the mechanical arms and started chattering curiously.

When Hei Long saw Luo En come out of the mine, he stepped forward and smiled. “Brother Luo En! Congratulations!”

Luo En smiled and replied, “Hahahaha! I didn’t expect there to be gold ores in such a place, although there isn’t much.”

Hei Long enviously said, “This is already good. I didn’t even see this much in the past two times!”

“Then Brother Hei Long, why don’t you take a look at my gold ore rocks to see how much gold ores could be obtained from them?” Luo En asked curiously.

Luo En was not the only one who was curious. Everyone else was curious as well, and they had all gathered around him.

Hei Long looked at the gold ore rocks and pondered for a long while before he said slowly, “In my opinion, these gold ore rocks should yield at least half a tonne of gold ores!”

“Half a tonne! That much?”

Everyone was shocked.

“Brother Hei Long! Is there really half a tonne here?” Luo En was also shocked as he asked again.

Hei Long looked carefully for a while again before replying, “Yes! There’s indeed half a tonne!”

After hearing Hei Long’s affirmative reply, Luo En said happily, “Alright! Everyone will have extra food tonight! Hahahaha!”

“Long live the City Lord! Long live the City Lord!”

Everyone cheered.

At this moment, Wang Cheng rushed over with a small detector in his hand. He came to Luo En’s side and said, “City Lord! The small detector you asked me to make is ready!”

He handed the small detector to Luo En.

Hei Long looked at the small detector in Luo En’s hands, his eyes revealing his great envy.

Luo En took the small detector and handed it to Hei Long. He said gently, “Brother Hei Long! This was what I wanted to give you!”

“This… this is for me?” Hei Long was so shocked that he could not even speak properly.

He was beside himself. A small detector was too precious! He had not expected Luo En to give him a small detector.

“Yes! It’s for you!” Luo En replied with a smile.

Hei Long carefully received the small detector from Luo En’s hands. He was so excited that his hands were trembling slightly. He said seriously, “Brother Luo En! Thank you so much! I, Hei Long, can’t repay you enough! From now on, I will not not hesitate to do anything for you!”

He really needed a small detector. He had too many men but too few detectors. As a result, many of the men could not work and he could not maximize the manpower use. With this small detector, all the problems would be solved.

“Alright! Brother Hei Long, go and test the effect of the small detector personally!” Luo En said.

“Alright!”

After saying this, Hei Long headed impatiently towards their half of the territory.

Luo En looked at the workers and said, “Continue with the mining of ores! I’ll give all of you extra tonight!”

“Yes!”

With that said, Luo En brought the gold ore rocks to the mobile city and found a cutting machine in the city. He planned to use the cutting machine to cut the gold ores from the rocks, bit by bit.

However, due to the toughness, the cutting duration was rather long. Fortunately, the machine was automated, so there was also no need for anyone to stay by the side to watch it. It only required the item to be cut to be placed on it, followed by the pressing of the power button.

After Luo En had carried out a set of operations, the cutting machine hummed and began its work. Luo En sat down beside it.

Time passed quickly. The gold ores on the surfaces of the gold ore rocks were swiftly cut off and dropped into a box which had been prepared beforehand.

Two hours passed while Luo En waited. The cutting machine had finally finished cutting the gold ore rocks. With a quick look, it was indeed half a tonne! Looking at the pile of gold ores in the box, Luo En became excited.

He did not intend to devour the gold ores. Devouring the gold ores would only give him 5,000 Evolution Points. The gold ores had more extensive uses.. It was one of the necessary materials to make drones!
