Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

"Count Dlauter, mining investment is indeed a profiteering industry, but it is not an immediate result, not to mention that it comes with extremely high risks."

Fick faced the spit Count Drout, but his tone was extremely calm.

"What

do you say-" Count Drout thought that Fick was going to say something like the money might be lost, and suddenly blushed, but then Fick just said:

"

I have helped you avoid these risks, but I really can't do it, that vein can indeed make a lot of money, but it is also very tricky, even I feel so."

"If you don't believe me, you could try it with another person, but you don't think you can chisel a single one out of that pile of stones, so you can think about it, Count Drout."

Count Drout suddenly grabbed Fick's collar and said with a fierce face:

"Little rabbit, you dare to threaten me?"

"Don't forget, I'm also the Count of Victoria no matter what! Even if this is Rembito, the sun of Victoria is still sprinkled on this land even after hundreds of years! "

Wow... This posture.

If Fick hadn't known that he was the Count of Victory, this action would not be much different from the hooligans fighting on the street.

"This is not a threat, Count Drout."

Fick's tone was still flat, and he said to Count Drout:

"It's just an objective statement of a fact, we are now partners, together is profit, division is loss, our common interests are the same, you make money, I also make money."

"Believe me, Count Dlauter, the peak line of profitability is coming soon."

"Or are you questioning the gold content of a bachelor's degree in source stone minerals from the University of Eslyat, the top university in the city of Victoria?"

This moment can be said to lead the fire to Victory, and Count Dlauter's face turned blue and white, but he was speechless.

"I think you need to calm down, Count Dlauter."

Fick gently removed Count Dlauter's hand that was no longer exerting strength and said to him.

"Hmph, I'll come back tomorrow morning, you take me down to the mine when the time comes, I'm going to take a good look at how this group of miners work, and I have to take the whip from my pack beast."

Count Drout snorted coldly, stood up, then walked out the door, and finally threw down a sentence:

"I don't pay to make these miners lazy and slippery... You too, Fick.

"Don't forget you still have something with me."

Yes, indeed, as Count Drout said.

Fick had a fatal trick - that is, when he was studying at the University of Aesliat, because of the intervention of Count Drout, this admission certificate had actually expired.

It was Drout who secretly let Fick go through a hidden channel to modify the date, and the evidence was kept here.

Theoretically, if Drout had brought Fick's date change to Victory's Academic Arbitration Department, Fick's Ethiat University diploma would probably have been invalidated.

And there will be quite serious charges, enough to make Fick and the rest of the steel radish mine unable to turn over for a lifetime, which is also the strength of Count Dlauter.

Both of them are now illegally profiting, and no one can get away from the grasshopper on a rope.

Of course, because of this new vein, the daily profits generated by the steel radish mine are staggeringly high, and in order to prevent Fick's unmoved mind, Count Drout naturally has a back hand.

Because the previous political investment failed, it was on the wrong side.

Now Count Drout can be described as a family downfall, and even his soldiers have not run a few left, all relying on this mine to maintain obscurity, licking wounds and waiting for the opportunity to turn over.

And because the use of soldiers is extremely sensitive at this time, even going out by himself is in civilian clothes, in order to strengthen the concealment effect, he does not even carry bodyguards.

But Count Drover was not afraid of Fick assassinating him.

First of all, he has the [Thunderbolt] magic ring produced by Thor Industry, this ring is the most advanced top match, not to mention anything else, as long as he wants to run, no one can stop him.

And if Fick really has a way to keep himself, but no matter how much he has the means, he can't keep the Steel Radish Mine and his family and even his servants at the same time.

You know, Fick's handle, Count Drout, had also kept all his children on file early, and had informed them in advance.

At that time, his children will mobilize all their forces to report the true situation of Fick, and then take the privileged channel to pluck themselves out, and finally buy the steel radish mine at a low price through a little "small means".

As for Fick, he could find out what kind of punishment would be imposed for attacking an Count of Victoria who was still in the making.

Let's just say that as long as Fick dares to attack, even an excuse from Victory's Count, the Steel Radish Mine will be all arrested by Victory's law enforcement team.

Moreover, with only a little money and a little relationship, none of the original owners of these steel radish mines will be left, and all of them will be sentenced to death.

In this way, the steel radish mine is a real name change.

Of course, if Fick does not meet his requirements later, then this move will not necessarily be said in advance, and now Fick is just useful to himself.

Scold...... A lucky Carters who reads dead books, a thief who has stolen Victory's century-old knowledge... Why do you have this wealth?

When the time comes, yours is mine, mine is mine.

Boom!

Count Drout closed the door, and suddenly only Fick, who was sitting alone, and his own shadow remained in the living room, and the tea aroma and heat that had not yet dissipated were still rising for a short time.

Fick stood up gently, he knew the tea party was over.

But...... But there is something else, which has already begun.

After the tea party, Fick ordered the people to clear the table, and he stood up with a complicated look and walked towards the steel radish mine.

......

It was only ten minutes away from his mansion to the Steel Radish Mine, and in general, he often came here to investigate the situation of this source stone vein.

This source stone vein was named Lifeline One by Fick.

This vein was suddenly discovered during an unintentional mining, because the energy flow of the source stone was too large, and even the space was distorted when the vein was revealed.

Fick was only on site for the first time to conduct a series of tests and inspections, and his extensive expertise immediately concluded that this was a rare vein of extremely potent source stone.

Moreover, this vein is only partially revealed, according to Fick's calculations, only need to dig down this vein, the reserves of this extremely effective source stone mine must be at least millions of tons.

If it weren't for this vein, Fick would probably not be able to stay in the Steel Radish Mine, but would have been directly blackmailed by Count Drout to other mines for profit.

And this vein was discovered, in order to prevent mine bandits and ulterior motives, Fick immediately declared to all miners that it was just an ordinary high-energy stone vein.

And a hidden facility was built at the entrance of the mine, and there was no room inside that could be seen, and the wind was locked tightly by itself, and not a single bit leaked outside.

Only, this vein is failing.

You must seize the time and use all the time to dig as much as possible, otherwise it is very likely that what you will dig up next is a pile of waste stones, which is the only chance for the real rise of the steel radish mine.

Fick will go and grab it anyway.

Grab this one... Lifeline.

At this time, Fick had come to the entrance of the mine, and at this time the roar of a series of machines running underground could already be heard at the entrance.

There was also a subtle vibration under his feet, and Fick closed his eyes and felt the frequency, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4... Well, it seems that the previous FM is used, which is accurate.

"Fick... Master Fick.

As soon as Fick arrived, a foreman in front of the mine rushed up.

"Your indicators are still a little short, please give us more time..."

Fick opened his eyes, waved his hand, and said:

"There is plenty of time, the indicators are not completed, it is your problem, review the reason yourself."

The foreman did not dare to argue in the slightest, and immediately said in a reverent tone:

"Yes... Yes, Master Fick. Fick

stood at the mouth of the mine, and he could already hear the sound of the miners working underneath, as well as a series of cries and screams, but it was just a murmur for him.

"The mining route of the source stone vein was changed to No. 4, the inclination angle was changed to 30 degrees to the northwest, the module of the steam miner was changed to a three-stage type, and the fuel supply was changed to never stop."

"The resonance waveform of the source stone energy detector needs to be adjusted to 230 degrees on the upper chord, 145 degrees on the lower chord, and the upper and lower limits do not exceed 20 degrees, so as to speed up the operation of the diversion circulation facility when refining the source stone."

A series of academic terms and data from the source stone veins poured out of Fick's mouth without pause, and the Lornes miner foreman immediately took out a pen and paper and carefully wrote everything down.

Fick's major made him handy in both petrology and geology, and he contributed to the fact that the steel radish mine became bigger and stronger.

“...... The efficiency is still too slow.

"Starting today, the regular working hours of all workers will be adjusted from seventeen hours to nineteen hours, and if necessary, to twenty hours."

Fick said to the foreman in an icy tone:

"A new batch of emergency active agents has arrived, and from today onwards, this batch of miners, regardless of men, women, and children, will need to be injected uniformly every day, and the specific equivalent is up to you."

The foreman's face changed and he responded,

"But... I know what follows, if you do this, they don't think it will last long, and these miners will all have to die of overwork or turn into a pile of stones.

Fick's tone remained unchanged, and he said calmly:

"Then I will replace a new batch of miners in next, you don't have to worry about this, Count Drout gave me a hidden way to purchase, and new miners are already on the way."

"The depletion of this vein is accelerating, and if it were slower, we would only be able to dig up some waste stone, and by then, all efforts would be in vain."

"You wouldn't let that happen, would you?"

The foreman snorted for no reason and said,

"Yes... Be! Young Master Fick, everything is your supreme order!

Fick patted him on the shoulder, glanced at the mine with one last slanted glance, and turned to leave.
