A room in the Qingyun Hotel in Shenzhen.
Lin Yun had returned from the sea.
'Unexpectedly, these three sea vessels not only contained iron ore, but also some precious ores, some of which should be associated ores of iron ore, and some of which should be specialty ores from foreign countries...' Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
Iron ore is worthless on the universal trading system. Even if he sells 400 million Daxia coins worth of iron ore on the universal trading system, he won't get even a hundred spirit crystals.
Unless Starry Blue buys it, but Lin Yun is embarrassed to ask Starry Blue to buy it at a premium every time.
The three ships may look huge, but they are simple in craftsmanship and function. Lin Yun originally planned to buy some repair robots and equipment to fix them up, but after letting the universal trading system calculate, he gave up this plan.
It's not cost-effective. If he had a base, it would be fine. He could buy some repair robots and repair equipment, not only to repair the three sea vessels this time, but also to occasionally repair other things. In the long run, it would still be cost-effective.
But he doesn't have a base, so it would be very troublesome to do all kinds of things.
It's better to just sell them. There are some shops on the universal trading system that specialize in buying these kinds of broken items. Some items that can be repaired can be repaired and sold for money, and some that cannot be repaired are disassembled into various materials and sold for money.
Three ships, sold for 350 spirit crystals in total.
It's just the materials, not worth this much spirit crystals, and it's just a broken ship, not worth this much spirit crystals either. The other party gave so much spirit crystals because they saw some technology on this ship that they could learn from.
The other party declared that if there were such ships again next time, three of these ships would only sell for about 270 spirit crystals. If they were in perfect condition, they could be sold for a higher price.
Lin Yun nodded slightly to show his understanding.
He had roughly looked up the price of these three sea vessels on the Blue Star network, and the price of each should not exceed one billion Daxia coins.
A lot of it is labor costs, which are the least valuable on the universal trading system.
It's already pretty good to be able to sell 350 spirit crystals.
Add in the iron ore, and it's over 400 spirit crystal income!
This is a lot, but it's not much compared to his current income!
Those precious ores were an unexpected gain. The precious ores on the three sea vessels sold for a total of 200 spirit crystals, which was twice as much as the iron ore!
In the end, Lin Yun had a total of more than 600 spirit crystals!
Not bad!
With another harvest like this, he could buy a robot with the strength of an early stage of the transformation technique!
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in the depths of Lin Yun's eyes.
He had already begun to consider whether he should rob the Lu and Mo families' resource warehouses on land, where there must be even more resources. A single robbery might be enough to obtain the spiritual crystals needed to purchase several robots with the strength of a martial artist!
This feeling of robbing one's enemies and strengthening oneself was quite good!
However, Lin Yun quickly shook his head and made himself give up this idea!
He had been lucky robbing these three ships at sea...at most, people would just speculate that the Mo family had encountered enemies targeting them!
He robbed the resource banks on land, and so many resources disappeared without a trace, which must have alerted many forces, and even some powerful figures!
He could consider some small but precious resources!
However, going to the sea today and using a submarine to enter the sea did give Lin Yun an idea.
Nowadays, most of the land on the mainland has an owner, and no matter where he builds a base, the issue of concealment is likely to arise.
However, if he builds a base on the seabed, it should be relatively well hidden and safe.
Moreover, the seabed is also rich in various resources. He can explore where the resources are abundant and then purchase specialised equipment on the Universal Trading System to collect them.
The technology on Blue Star makes it difficult to collect seabed resources, but this is not a problem for the various high technologies on the Universal Trading System.
Think about it, the oceans on the Blue Star are three times the size of the land...and they have rarely been developed. The seabed is simply a great treasure. Why would he let such a great treasure go unexplored, when he could instead compete with others for resources on land?
The rate at which he is currently earning spiritual crystals is almost enough to allow him to develop the seabed world on a slightly larger scale.
In fact, when he left the sea today, he had already placed a resource-detecting device that could move on its own in the seabed.
Let's just wait and see what information the resource-detecting device reports next.
...
Lin Yun's operation was only at eight or nine o'clock.
The Mo family quickly received the message, and then they were furious.
The sinking of three 200,000-ton ocean-going vessels was just these ships and the cargo on board were worth more than three billion. Because it was a fixed route for many years, and recently it had been carrying worthless cargo such as iron ore, the Mo family did not take out any major insurance!
In short, this time, the Mo family has suffered a great loss!
'How could all three ships sink at the same time? Even if they had hit a reef, they wouldn't have all hit it together, and besides, that shipping route has been used by Huagang Shipping for many years!' The head of the Mo family was shocked, slapping the table in anger.
'Family head, according to reports from the crew of the wrecked ships, all three ships were attacked, with a time difference of less than two or three minutes, and the damage sustained was irreparable...' A senior member of the Mo family said.
'Attacked? It took less than two or three minutes for the three 200,000-tonne ocean liners to sustain irreparable damage. This was no ordinary firepower. It was near the Deep City. Who had such firepower?' The head of the Mo family said in a deep voice.
'We have already dispatched airships to patrol the area, as well as personnel who have recently behaved abnormally in various ports, and investigated the movements of some heavy weapons in the country during this period...' The Mo family executive whispered.
'Well, report back to me immediately once you have found out anything!' The head of the Mo family nodded slightly.
'By the way, before we find out the source of this power, tell the other ships not to come back, so that they won't be attacked again... As for the steel factory, I will send someone to say hello!' Just then, the head of the Mo family suddenly thought of something and immediately looked at the senior member of the Mo family again and said.
'Yes, family head!' The senior member of the Mo family nodded.
'What about the Qingyun Company? How is it going?' At this time, the head of the Mo family turned his head to look at another senior member of the Mo family and said.
'I just asked the authorities to stop production at Qingyun Company today. Some time ago, Qingyun Company just signed a huge order, and they shouldn't be able to hold out for long...' The senior member of the Mo family hurriedly said.
'Well, you keep a close eye on this matter! Recently, some industries have become increasingly difficult to do, just like this matter with Huagang Shipping. It's not certain that they would have made this much profit in two years, and they have suddenly lost it all!' The head of the Mo family nodded slightly and said.
'Family head, I suspect that this matter may have been done by the forces behind Qingyun Company. We just stopped the production of Qingyun Company at noon, and in the evening...' Just then, a young member of the Mo family hesitated.
'Qingyun Company? It's impossible! We just sanctioned them today, and they were able to use such a large firepower to attack our sea vessels. During this period, various arrangements and firepower redeployments were made, and even our family could not have done it so quickly!' Without waiting for the head of the Mo family to speak, a senior member of the Mo family shook his head slightly and said,
'Well, it's unlikely that the forces behind Qingyun Company did it. Didn't we previously investigate that Qingyun Company doesn't have much power in the official sector or the community sector? Besides, the response was too fast!' The head of the Mo family pondered for a while, nodded slightly, and said,
'If it really was the force behind Qingyun Company that did it, the Mo family will definitely not let it go. You should keep a close eye on Lin Yun and some of the people around him...' The next moment, a cold light flashed in the depths of the eyes of the head of the Mo family.
