Chapter 77: New system tasks, open system mall rewards! (1/5 please vote for me)

Task?

Su Jiu was confused, not knowing what these three elders meant.

"Academician, this is not the place to talk. Let's go over there."

Chu Chao said, his face becoming serious, obviously knowing what this task was.

The three of them nodded, and then everyone began to go down the mountain towards the camp of the third brigade.

This also made Su Jiu more and more curious as to what mission the country was going to give him.

Arriving at the camp, Chu Chao also brought Su Jiu and San Lao to a tent.

"Three academicians, the task you mentioned is..."

After Su Jiu sat down, there was confusion on her face.

"Xiao Su, you should know the value of helium 3 veins, right?"

Zhou Linkang asked.

"Know."

Su Jiu nodded. Although he was not engaged in nuclear energy research and development, we could see how valuable it was from the country's emphasis on it.

"Now that the whole world knows about the helium-3 veins, it seems calm on the surface, but how can other countries just let it go?"

"I can give you an explanation on this matter. The higher-ups have decided to send three more brigades to guard the four directions together with the third brigade."

Zhou Linkang said seriously.

Su Jiu was a little surprised. He was already surprised when the country sent the third brigade here.

Unexpectedly, three more brigades were sent over, with almost more than 30,000 people.

But what does this have to do with his mission?

Just as he was wondering, Zhou Linkang also spoke again.

"Now many countries are eyeing this helium-3 vein and trying their best to get us to hand it over, but how can we give it to them."

"This matter has been at a stalemate for more than a month, and the higher authorities have discussed this matter many times."

"Just a few days ago, various countries suddenly reached an agreement. If China is unwilling to export helium 3, these countries will also cut off the sources of various mineral veins we import."

Zhou Linkang said helplessly.

Although China has a vast territory and abundant resources, it is also rich in mineral resources.

However, because the land area is so large and it is difficult to find, many types of minerals in other countries are actually better than China's resource endowments.

For example, iron ore, China has huge reserves, but there are very few rich iron ores.

Moreover, the geographical location is remote and mining and transportation are inconvenient.

But the iron ore in Kangaroo Country is not only large in reserves, but also of high grade and easy to transport by sea.

Even if it is transported thousands of miles away, it still has a cost advantage over domestic mining.

The situation is similar for oil. The cost of extracting oil in China is close to US$50 per barrel.

But Saudi Arabia only needs $10.

If it is mined domestically, it will not survive under market economy conditions.

Therefore, we can only rely on administrative means to maintain the entire oil exploration and mining industry and avoid being lame in the industry that is related to the lifeblood of the country.

Nowadays, countries suddenly want to stop mineral cooperation with China because of the helium 3 veins. This is equivalent to breaking a leg of China.

But if they want to continue cooperation, the helium-3 veins must be exported, which is something China's top leaders don't want.

"So the task given to me by the country is...¨`..."

Su Jiu frowned. She didn't expect that China would be besieged on all sides because of a helium-3 mine.

"The task the country gives you is to hope that you can find rich mineral veins, especially rare mineral veins, and prepare in advance for future strategies."

"Of course, I'm not asking you to search without purpose, but I hope you can survey this area."

Then Zhou Linkang took out a map, and Su Jiu also looked up.

"These are some mountains around Fengcheng City. The mountains in this area were surveyed in the early years, but that was all twenty years ago."

"The equipment was relatively backward at that time, and you, the little guy, have done a lot of things recently, so the country wants to ask you to do some survey."

Su Jiu looked at the map. Fengcheng City was not that far from Lincheng.

If you take the highway, you can reach it in almost a few hours, and it is also the closest city to Lincheng.

"The country believes in me so much? It even gave me a special task."

Su Jiu asked in surprise.

"Don't be so sentimental, kid. This time, many surveyors were sent to other places for surveying. It's just because of your performance during this period that many of the higher-ups looked at you differently."

"In addition, you are not far from Fengcheng City, so I want to ask you to go and survey it."

Wu Zhida next to him said with a smile.

Su Jiu scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

He thought he was being treated specially.

"Xiao Su, are you willing to accept this task?"

"If you don't want to, we won't force you. We will follow your personal wishes."

strictPeng looked at Su Jiu and asked.

Naturally, they hoped that Su Jiu would accept the mission.

After all, they also knew about Su Jiu's previous affairs and were very optimistic about Su Jiu.

Su Jiu was about to speak, but then the system's voice suddenly sounded.

[System Task: Complete the national task. The basic reward for this task is: Open the system mall! 】

[In addition, every time the host discovers a mineral vein, it can obtain varying amounts of energy points based on the rarity and scale of the mineral vein, which will be settled together after the task is completed. 】

"Given another mission?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Su Jiu's eyes. You must know that the system only gave him the task after a month.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he would be given another task.

Moreover, the mission reward this time is a bit special, it can actually unlock a new function of the system.

"System Mall? System, what's in the mall?"

Su Jiu asked secretly.

[Report to the host, you will know after the host unlocks the system mall. 】

[The task of unlocking the mall will only be triggered after the host's regeneration level reaches level 5. 】

Seeing that the system was unwilling to tell, Su Jiu knew that there would be no results if he continued to ask.

"As for the settlement of this task... system, will the ore veins I regenerated also be counted in the settlement of the task?"

Su Jiu asked.

[Reporting to the host is also included in the calculation, and the energy point reward during settlement will be much higher than what is consumed when the host regenerates. 】

Su Jiu nodded. In that case, it would be easy to handle. This task can be accepted.

Nowadays, it takes 10 million energy points to increase the regeneration level.

With so many energy points, if you only relied on the points randomly sent by the system every day, you would have to wait for more than half a year.

But if you can complete this system task, not only you can directly obtain tens of millions of energy points, but you can at least shorten the time significantly.

However, although Su Jiu accepted the task, she still had some considerations in her mind.

"Three academicians, there is no problem in detecting the mineral vein, but I have a question. If I really find the mineral vein, then the ownership of the mineral vein..."

Su Jiu looked at the three of them and asked, the rewards from the system belong to the system, and he can't work in vain.

"Hahaha, that leader is indeed right. Your boy will definitely ask this question."

Hearing Su Jiu's words, Zhou Linkang and the other two couldn't help but laugh. They seemed not surprised that Su Jiu would raise this question.

"Xiao Su, it has been promised from above that as long as the veins you discover yourself will be mined by your Su Group, the state will even help you go through various procedures for free."

"Of course, if a rare mineral vein is discovered, we will naturally need to cooperate with the country."

"Don't worry about this, the country will definitely not let you, a little money-lover, suffer."

The three of them said with a smile, which made Su Jiu a little embarrassed. The leaders above really understood him.

".‖Since the three of you have said so, I will accept this mission."

Su Jiu nodded and said, for completing this task, there will be not only national rewards, but also system rewards, why not accept it.

"Okay, as expected of me, Hua Xia Erlang. If you need to prepare anything, you can discuss it with Brigadier Chu in detail. He will help you prepare everything."

"In addition, although the survey does not stipulate a specific time, it needs to be reported once every month."

"Of course, if a special mineral vein is discovered, you can report it at any time. Then you can just contact Brigadier Chu directly."

"By the way, this matter still needs to be kept confidential. As for your family, there will be a dedicated person to contact you."

Zhou Linkang said.

Su Jiu nodded. He basically didn't need to prepare anything.

Anyway, there is a system. Others need to bring various instruments, so he just needs to go to the mountains for a walk.

Afterwards, a few people chatted for a while, and the three elders also left to rest. They also needed to prepare for the next research.

"Mr. Su, if there is anything you need to prepare, just tell me and I will definitely satisfy you."

Chu Chao came to Su Jiu and said.

"I don't need to prepare anything. I just hope that Brigadier Chu can give me a few people to accompany me. If I encounter danger, I can have a helper."

"Also prepare some food and a mountain bike."

Su Jiu said with a smile.

This was going directly into the mountains, and he had no experience in jungle life (haha, Zhao Hao), so he might not know what he would encounter when he arrived.

"No problem. You can take away the two people I sent to protect you. They are all good at jungle life."

Chu Chao nodded and said, these things are easy to handle, and then ordered people to go down and prepare.

After that, Su Jiu also left the camp. Since he had to complete the national mission, it would definitely take some time.

He also needs to handle some matters in the Su Group.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Energy itself is managed by dedicated personnel sent from above.

He just said a few words and nothing happened.

As for his parents, he has not contacted him again and believes that the country will make arrangements.

In this way, early the next morning, Su Jiu followed the two gentlemen who had protected him before and drove the off-road vehicle towards Fengcheng.

A large amount of daily necessities and some survey equipment were prepared in the car.

Although Su Jiu said no, Chu Chao still prepared some.

In addition, there is also a satellite phone in case there is no signal after entering the mountains and forests.

Fengcheng is not far from Lincheng itself.

Although they walked through mountainous terrain along the way, in about five hours, the group arrived at a mountain range near Fengcheng.

It was also the first target mountain range of their trip.

"Mr. Su, we are here."

Hearing the sound, Su Jiu also nodded and looked at the mountain range in front of him.
