my son billions

On this day, Beverly was still as usual, rushing home with a big pot of broth on his back.When the two children in the family saw him, they screamed excitedly and rushed forward.And his wife, Bella, also stood at the door and looked at him with a smile.

After that, they never talked about the bowl of broth that appeared that morning, and Beverly took up the burden of the family again, protecting his wife and children under his wings.

In the Mooremo 313 mining area, there are countless such families who have regained a glimmer of life.

Countless people sneaked into the abandoned mining area in the middle of the night, dug out rough ore, and then sneaked into Quek Village in the dim light of the morning.There, countless pots of meaty broth filled the air with rich aroma, luring them to move forward faster and faster.

At first they just fumbled in the dark to change the broth, and then they became more and more daring, running several times a day.But the meat exchanged in this way is only enough for their family to eat half full.

If this continues, although they will not be hungry, their lives still seem to be in distress.

Afterwards, many people, like Hank and the others, set their minds on those damaged mining robots.However, mechanical maintenance engineers like Beverly are not easy to find.

And everyone knows in their hearts that the mines in the mining area are always limited. If others dig more, they will inevitably dig less, so some find the mechanics and hide them.

Beverly and Brother Han are very happy to cooperate, and they never plan to change customers.

So people had to come up with the idea of ​​those abandoned small and simple mining robots that were everywhere on Moore.

But those damn robots are not as obedient as those new robots that stay quietly in the mining area. They are like pulling luggage for people in the past. Don't let go.

Those who have been tricked by those robots are a little anxious, wishing to pick up the shovel and beat them to pieces.There are other people, but they gradually come to their senses, and instead start bargaining with those little robots.

In fact, the appeal of those robots is very simple, they only need some energy, because their operation needs energy.And if you want to cooperate with these robots for a long time, energy is essential, otherwise once their energy is exhausted, they can only mine with their own hands.

But energy is everywhere, but how can people like them afford it?And this problem also bothered Hank and the others.

Although the cable ore they are digging now is one of the pillar ores in the original mine of Union Energy, these rough ores cannot be directly used at all.

Just when everyone was overwhelmed and forced to jump by the high broth price, suddenly, overnight, other ore buyers appeared in Area 313.But the price they offered was much more reasonable than that offered by Quake Village.

For the price of Cable alone, the price of 2 credits per Kegram is given for convenience.In other words, the cable ore that can be exchanged for a bowl of broth can be exchanged for 100 credits from those merchants.But 100 credits are enough for them to buy two nutrient solutions today.

Although the price is still ridiculously high, for them, two nutrient solutions are much more cost-effective than a bowl of broth.

So everyone flocked away again, no matter how delicious the broth was, they couldn't recall their turned figures, and everyone just wanted to make more money to support their families.

But then Quaker Farms opened.

"The most high-grade meat here in Moore, the wholesale price is 800 credits per kegram. It is not frozen or kept fresh, and the freshest Quaker meat is sold on the spot. The taste is definitely better than fresh meat!"

The advertisement sounds like a gimmick, but people still feel that the owner of such a high-end meat farm suddenly opened in Quake Village is a bit whimsical.

In Moore's current situation, high-end luxury goods have no place at all.

But then the farm put out another advertisement, "In order to give back to the support of the local people, all the residents of Moore can exchange this kind of meat with ore. If there are more ore and the meat is inconvenient to store, it can also be stored in Farms, you can take it as you use it. The exchange price is that every 50 Kegrams of Cable is exchanged for one Kegram of the best Quaker meat."

People are a bit baffled by this offer.Although the price has been reduced, it can still be stored.But for ordinary people, what's the point of such preferential policies for meat that is completely out of their consumption range?

Countless people think that this is just a useless marketing strategy that the owner of the farm came up with because he couldn't sell the meat and was desperate.

While everyone was waiting to see a good show, a group of people suddenly came to Moore.

On the Darvo star next to Moore, this kind of fresh meat that has not been kept fresh has indeed won the love of many people at once.

O'Neill brings the meat to market at a wholesale price of 800 credits per kegram.Coupled with the profits of retailers and distributors, the final selling price of Quaker meat is as high as 10001200 to 2000 credits, and it can even be sold for about [-] credits in more remote places.

But the facts have proved that as long as things are good enough, high prices will stimulate people's desire to buy.

This kind of meat that has not been frozen has a much better taste than frozen meat.

When the bottom of the planet lives on nutrient solutions, most middle-class families can still eat unprocessed food.But within their purchasing power, it is absolutely impossible to buy fresh meat directly raised on the planet.It is impossible for this kind of food to appear in front of ordinary people, but it is directly supplied to the top wealthy businessmen and politicians.

Now this kind of fresh meat appears on the market at a price that is only [-]% higher than that of ordinary meat, but it is welcomed by the vast majority of people.

The Quaker meat from the transport ship that O'Neill brought along quickly sold out, and at the same time, the merchants on the planet Darwal smelled a business opportunity.

But O'Neill no longer has these meats, "I only have so much on hand, and it will take some time to pull them out. But the farm for this kind of meat is next to Moore, and you can buy it there if you want it. And the route It’s so close, and the local purchase price is not high, even if you add the transportation fee, the price you get will be much cheaper than this.”

After speaking, he looked in a hurry and planned to go back.

Seeing this, the other businessmen quickly grabbed him, and with credits in their pockets, they followed him to Moremo.

When they arrived in Moremo, O'Neal put them down and immediately turned around and ran away without giving them any clues.

These people could only scold him a few words behind his back, and then asked around on Moremo to find out what it sounded like.

In the Great Depression of Moremo, a group of businessmen wanted to buy a kind of fresh meat, and the news spread like wildfire, and then the miners in Area 313 also got the news.

"They gave this price." A teenager stretched out three fingers and compared to Hank, "Many people have already got the news, and they are rushing to Quake Village!"

Hank heard that he randomly took a few large pieces of ore from the pile of ore and handed them to the other party.After the boy left, he immediately turned his head and shouted behind him, "Beverly, is the batch we dug up earlier sold?"

Hearing Hank's voice, Beverly set the program of the digging robot, walked out quickly and said, "Not yet, what's the matter? I originally planned to change it tonight, but the price has fluctuated recently, and I don't Dare to sell it easily."

"Then don't sell it yet," Hank said. "It is said that a group of merchants want to buy Quaker meat and offer 300 credits per kegram. If the news is true, we may be able to make a good profit this time. "

Oliver's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "The price is so high? Isn't that the meat in a bowl of broth ordered for ten credits? Is it really worth so much money?"

Hanke said with a smile, "A bowl of broth for ten credits here can probably be sold for five or six hundred credits outside. There is no problem with this price, but the price of broth at that time was exaggeratedly low." .”

Hank said, but for some reason, he remembered the young man who fell from the sky in the bug swarm, and he gave himself those fruit slices, but saved his daughter Sarina's life.He ordered a bowl of broth for ten credits, and he thought maybe it wasn't because the other party was stupid.

Beverly nodded when he heard the words, and it's not that he didn't know about it.It's just that after he used ten credits to buy a bowl of thick broth, he no longer felt the possible high value of the meat itself.

"I'll go to those merchants to get in touch first, and we'll deal with this batch of ore when we have definite news." Hank finished his instructions, brushed the dust off his head, and went out.

The so-called freshest meat is absolutely impossible to be purchased locally by those merchants, and then transported to their respective planets for sale.Because the so-called freshest is precisely because Xu Chu transported the devouring worm alive to Darvo.There, No. 7 led the little bugs to slaughter a batch every day and send them to various places for sale.

And this is one of the reasons why he proposed the deposit strategy.

When merchants flocked to inquire about the price of Quaker meat on Moremo, the first price they got was the unit price of 800 credits given by the breeding factory, including transportation to Darvo star.

This price is the same as the price they got from O'Neal.

But another group of people inquired about some other news.It was these people who paid 300 credits to buy the Quaker meat stored in the farm from those miners.

As for the Quaker farm, they did not object to their behavior, and even provided transportation services for the batch of Quaker meat stored in them.

The attitude of Quaker Farm in other aspects is very good, but they also have a principle that they are unwilling to break no matter what.That is what goes out from their side, and it must not be a living Quaker, but must be slaughtered and packaged Quaker meat per kegram.

And if such meat is transported by the merchants themselves, the so-called "freshest" gimmick will be lost.So they had to give in in this regard, and Xu Chu once again slapped him with a knife-400 credits per kegram for transportation.

However, this is still profitable for those businessmen.So while most of the merchants decided to buy directly from the farms, a small number of merchants bought from the local people, earning 100 credits more than buying directly.

It is precisely these 100 credit points that make them unwilling to spend a lot of time and arrange people to secretly mine ore in exchange for Quaker meat, but it also makes them willing to arrange a few people to be responsible for purchasing stored meat locally.

In this way, the ore returned to Xu Chu's hands.And he no longer transported all the ore out of Mormo, but used the ore extractor brought by O'Neill to start refining the ore and extracting energy.

So when the local merchants wanted to increase the recycling price of the ore, they found that Quake Village offered another preferential strategy—they bought ore while also offering cheap energy refining stones, and they did not accept credit point transactions. , but can be directly exchanged for coarse ore.

This time, other businessmen really have nothing to do.

As for Xu Chu, although he earned 400 credits less from this part of Quaker meat, he got Cable worth 500 credits, and the finished product of Cable can solve many of his energy problems. The problem is that it is much more cost-effective than buying energy directly.

"Most of the miners in Area 313 are working for us now," the mechanical spider stood on Xu Chu's shoulder and scratched his ears with its hind paws as he spoke. "We should start expanding the acquisition area."

Xu Chu listened, but just nodded casually and continued with the work at hand.

During this period of time, they accumulated some refined energy stones, but they were still not enough for O'Neill's fleet to go to Kuipengla.

Moreover, he has almost used up the waste materials on hand. Although there are still waste materials and leftover materials after refining the energy stones that can be used for farming, they are about to be stretched.

The mechanical spider Oliver knew what he was talking about, and then said, "When the nearby wasteland is almost cleaned up, we can buy an organic matter manufacturing device to feed 'Quick'."

The so-called organic matter manufacturing device actually simulates the photosynthesis of green plants. Under the action of light energy, carbon dioxide and water in the air are used to directly synthesize sugars.

However, the sugars synthesized in this way are different from the substances synthesized by plants themselves, and cannot be directly eaten by humans.

On many agricultural planets, instead of planting plants to obtain organic matter, such devices are used to directly synthesize organic matter, and then undergo a series of transformations to synthesize various nutrients necessary for the human body, and directly infuse them into nutrient solutions.

The purchase cost of this whole set of mechanical devices is not low, but for Xu Chu, he does not need a large series of subsequent transformation devices. The organic matter synthesized by the synthesis device alone can be directly used to raise devouring worms.

This is also one of the things he plans to transport back to Quipenla this time.

However, this kind of synthesis efficiency is far from being as high as directly obtaining waste materials, which is a drop in the bucket for Kuipenla, so he still focuses on waste materials.

"Appreciate~"

Just as he was thinking about the problem, something beside him suddenly made a soft call.

It took Xu Chu a while to realize what was calling. He bent down and picked up the boo boo that was on his trouser leg, put it on his knee and touched it, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He originally bought this thing for Xiao Yezi, but for some reason, Hush is not very happy to get close to Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye obviously doesn't like Hush.

So Hush Hush is clinging to him more now.

But Xu Chu didn't dislike it either. This little hairball, which was only the size of a palm, was so fleshy in the palm of his hand that he often couldn't help but want to touch it.

But at this moment, Xiao Yezi on the side stopped rubbing the khakimo, and turned to look over.

He found that Xu Chu was unconsciously stroking the little hairball on his knee while talking to the mechanical spider.Such a gentle touch seemed to make the little thing very happy, squinting his eyes and actively rubbing against Xu Chu's palm, looking soft and cute.

"If you really want scraps, we can launch another bug swarm," the mechanical spider said nonchalantly, "After driving people away, bring back all the things we want, isn't it over?"

Hearing these words, Xu Chu finally stopped what he was doing.He turned his head to look at Oliver in disbelief, but after thinking about it, he didn't refute, and just said directly, "I need a more 'normal' suggestion."

The corners of Oliver's mouth twitched when he heard this, but when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Little Leaf who was looking towards them.Subconsciously, his body froze slightly, and then he crawled off Xu Chu without a trace.

When he got to the table, he hooked his hind limbs and scratched his ears. After hiding his embarrassment, he said, "Well, if you don't like this suggestion—then I can't think of any other way for the time being."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly stretched out his forelimb and stabbed it into the fruit plate that Xu Chu placed next to Guangnao. Then he cocked a forelimb to string a bunch of fruit slices, and quickly climbed down from the table, disappearing in an instant.

Xu Chu was dumbfounded by this bandit-like behavior.
