Chapter 718: The crystal mine (1)
Translator: 549690339
Originally, Zhao Hai had only come to these mountains to find trouble. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well come to these mountains to take a look. It would be good to collect some things. But now, it was different. After he found the red crystal, he immediately thought that this crystal was a good thing. It was an energy source.
There were crystals on the continent, and Zhao Hai had brought them into the realm before. However, the realm’s assessment was that they were low-level products and consumables. There was no introduction to them, which made Zhao Hai very disappointed.
However, this red crystal was different. After it was used, it could be recharged. Most importantly, the energy in this crystal was very powerful. What did 100000 degrees of electricity mean? Zhao Hai had never calculated it, but he was sure that it could do a lot of things.
From the first to the third mountain peaks, Zhao Hai had collected a total of 160 red crystals. The energy produced by these crystals added up to more than one billion electrical energy. What kind of concept was this? Zhao Hai felt a little dizzy. Happiness came too suddenly.
Energy was a good thing no matter which world it was. It was something that any world would fight for. This red crystal was a powerful energy source. As long as he collected more of it, he would have a lot of energy to use in the future.
Zhao Hai sat on the alien’s body and flew towards the fourth peak. The fourth peak was much better than the third peak. It was obviously not as hot.
However, Zhao Hai didn’t have the time to pay attention to the temperature. He didn’t even collect the grass and magical beasts. After all, he had collected the items from Three Peaks. The items on the fourth peak were similar to the items on the first three Peaks, so there was nothing much to collect. Zhao Hai’s main focus was to collect the red crystals.
After searching the entire fourth peak, Zhao Hai was disappointed to find that he had only found a little over fifty red crystals. These crystals were the size of a fist, and they were extremely hard. Zhao Hai also knew that these crystals were classified into different grades. For example, the crystal that Zhao Hai found the first time was the size of a blue ball, which was why it contained so much energy. However, the crystals he found on the fourth peak were the size of a fist. However, it only had about 5000 kWh of energy, which was 20 times the difference.
Zhao Hai sighed. Once he put away the fifty crystals, he headed straight for the fifth peak. That was the other unsafe place Thales had mentioned. He hoped that he would be able to gain more from there.
Soon, Zhao Hai arrived at the fifth peak. The fifth peak was similar to the third peak. It was extremely hot, even hotter than the third peak. There were also many fire-type magical beasts there.
Zhao Hai didn’t pay any attention to these fire-elemental magical beasts. Instead, he was focused on searching for crystals. However, the fifth peak had a unique characteristic. The crystals here were all buried in the mountain. If Zhao Hai wanted to obtain the crystals, he would have to use magic to go to the mountain.
Fortunately, the dimension’s surveillance camera could see through the ground. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t be able to find these crystals. Zhao Hai wasn’t afraid of trouble. He collected the fire crystals piece by piece. The quality of these fire crystals was much higher than the fourth peak. Each piece was the size of a football, but he hadn’t found any that were the size of a basketball.
The X-ray vision of the surveillance camera was not very deep, only about 500 meters. However, when he reached 500 meters, he could see down another 500 meters. This was a feature of the surveillance camera.
Zhao Hai had already descended to a depth of nearly a thousand meters from the fifth peak. This was not a short distance, but it did not affect Zhao Hai at all. Zhao Hai, who could use magic and had earth-type special techniques, did not have any adverse effects at this depth. Right now, all he could see were those red crystals.
At this time, Zhao Hai’s Cai ‘er appeared beside Zhao Hai and said, ” “Young master, there seems to be a mineral vein down there.”
“A mine vein?” Zhao Hai was stunned. Are you talking about the vein of this crystal stone?”
Cai nodded and said,”yes, it’s the mine of this kind of crystal stone. It’s not far down there.”
“Then what are we waiting for? let’s go down and take a look.” Zhao Hai was taken aback.
Cai replied, ” yes, young master. That mine vein seems to be under the magma. But, I’ve analyzed it. The magma doesn’t pose much of a threat to you. However, you should still be careful. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. He knew that the analysis ability of the space was very strong. If Cai ‘er said this, it meant that the magma really wouldn’t affect him. However, it would cause some trouble.
However, in order to obtain those crystal stones, it was no big deal to go through a little trouble. Zhao Hai slowly touched the ground. He had been sitting inside the alien’s body. He didn’t go into the space. He was afraid that Laura and the others wouldn’t allow him to go in.
Zhao Hai moved forward cautiously while paying attention to the surveillance camera. He wanted to know what was in front of him at all times. Soon, he found out that he was about ten meters away from the magma. Zhao Hai looked behind him. He had used earth magic and special techniques, so he believed that he would not damage the texture of the soil. Zhao Hai was very clear that if he really dug a hole and went down, the pressure would be too great. The lava here might erupt and form another crater. He didn’t want to do that.
Zhao Hai stopped about ten meters away from the lava and did a thorough check. He didn’t find anything that needed to be fixed, so he nodded and ordered the Xenomorph to jump into the lava.
A distance of more than ten meters was covered in a flash. He suddenly passed through the rock layer and appeared in a lava river. The lava was flowing non-stop. All you could see was red, like molten iron.
Zhao Hai didn’t pay any attention to this. He used his fire-controlling technique with all his might to carefully push away the lava and dive under it.
Fortunately, the lava river wasn’t very deep. Zhao Hai dived down and reached it in a short while. He dived all the way to the bottom of the river and immediately dissolved into the rocks. The rocks weren’t crystals, so Zhao Hai used his earth special technique to dissolve into the rocks. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
Although he knew how to control fire, and there wasn’t much difference between controlling fire and controlling earth, the feeling of staying in lava was completely different from being in the earth. The mental pressure was too great.
After crossing the lava river, everything was easy. After diving down for more than ten meters, they would reach the crystal mine. The crystal mine was not very large, less than 100 meters thick. It was not full of crystal stones, most of which were ordinary stones and soil, with only a small amount of crystal stones. Even so, the crystal stone content here was much higher than that on the mountain, so it was not an exaggeration to call it a crystal mine.
Zhao Hai began to collect crystal stones from the mine. As expected of a mine, the speed at which he collected crystal stones was extremely fast. However, the mine was not very long. It seemed to be only distributed under the thirteen volcanoes. Zhao Hai quickly collected all the crystal stones in the mine and obtained more than 10000 crystal stones.
When Zhao Hai finished collecting the last crystal and came out of the mine, he realized that he was already at the thirteenth peak. However, he didn’t pay much attention to it. Right now, he was holding a crystal in his hand. This crystal was different from the others. The other crystals were fiery red, but it was obvious that it was a crystal at a glance. If it was an ordinary person, they might just treat it as a large gemstone.
However, the crystal in Zhao Hai’s hand was redder than the other crystals, and it seemed to be glowing with fire. Unlike the other crystals, which felt warm to the touch, this crystal was as hot as a fireball.
When Zhao Hai put the crystal into his Origin space, the notification didn’t say that the crystal contained heat energy. Instead, it was an incomplete raw stone that contained radioactive energy that could change the surrounding minerals. In other words, this thing was the same as pure iron. It was equivalent to a source of crystal ore. If he buried it underground, he might be able to create a crystal ore mine in the origin space in the future.
Zhao Hai carefully looked at the crystal, but he couldn’t find anything special about it. In the end, he buried it in his space as well. He already had so many crystals in his space, so he didn’t care about this one.
&Nbsp; when Zhao Hai flew toward the first peak, he noticed that the temperature of the 13 volcanoes seemed to have changed slightly. It was not as hot as it had been.
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that it was probably because he had dug out all the crystals that were rich in heat energy. That was why it wasn’t as hot as before.
The most important thing was probably the crystal ore. This thing could slowly produce crystal stones. Unfortunately, this thing was incomplete, which disappointed Zhao Hai.
He was afraid that the volcano was about to die out, which would be very bad for his plan. Now the iron Mountain castle was being equipped with things. As long as they were fully equipped, the 100000 people could be moved there immediately. However, it would take a few days to prepare the things. If the volcano was not hot soon, it would disrupt his plan. He had to send these people to the iron Mountain castle in advance.
However, when Zhao Hai arrived at the seventh Peak’s crater, he found that the lava was still boiling. It didn’t seem to be weakening at all. He was relieved and immediately flew back to the first peak.
When they arrived at the first peak, he had the Xenomorph land on the ground and slowly crawl toward the mountain City. He had been busy collecting crystals just now, and he had no idea how Thales and the others had come to a decision. If they had really decided to take the iron Mountain fortress, it was time to make preparations.
They also said that there might be more ice beasts coming to attack them in the next few days. Zhao Hai really wanted to see what these ice beasts were and why they existed.
As soon as the Xenomorph reached the outside of the city wall, Zhao Hai was stunned. He saw Thales standing on the city wall, waiting for him. At this moment, Cai ‘er suddenly said, &Quot; young master, some of the Icemen that chief Thales mentioned are rushing over from the icy Plains. There are many of them. &Quot;
