Chapter 150: Metal Resources Worth Over a Million Energy

"A new day is about to end!"

Qin Luo woke up from his dormant state and was busy with all kinds of things again.

When he had basically finished dealing with things, the sky completely turned into a blood color, and a Scarlet Moon hung high in the sky.

The 200,000 undead Qin Luo recruited before left the territory and headed south to the God and Demon Burial Ground.

At this time, transport teams also appeared outside the territory, and the resource mines of the fifth day were transported back from all directions.

With the expansion of the territory, the more resource mines occupied.

Red Flame Mountain Mine (Red Iron, Bronze), Red Iron Mine (Red Iron), Surface Mineral Deposit (Red Iron), Orc Back Mountain Mineral Deposit (Red Iron, Bronze), Thorn Stone Forest (Bronze, Mithril) - there are mines in every direction of the territory! And the indigenous villages and tribes of the races near the territory have almost been swept away by the undead army, and all have been caught back as miners, regardless of what race they are.

In addition to the 340,000 undead units, the number of indigenous people in the territory also exceeded 10,000, distributed in various mines.

Especially now that the territory has been upgraded to Bronze One-Star, the range has expanded to 800 meters, which is only 100 or 200 meters away from the nearest Red Iron Mine.

The next time the territory is upgraded, several mines can be included in the territory range!

And the harvest of metal resources on the fifth day completely exceeded Qin Luo's expectations.

60,000 units of Red Iron!

8,000 units of Bronze!

500 units of Mithril!

You know, the harvest on the fourth day yesterday was only 12,000 units of Red Iron and 1,000 units of Bronze!

The resources mined today are actually five or six times that of yesterday! Qin Luo looked at the output list of the major mines and realized that the mining volume of the Orc tribe accounted for a huge part.

Among them, 25,000 units of Red Iron and 4,000 units of Bronze were mined by the Orc race.

This is the amount mined when the Orc race lacks mining tools.

If we wait for the Dwarf race to craft tools suitable for Orcs to use, wouldn't this mining speed double again?

"Sure enough, the decision to take down the Orc tribe is absolutely correct!"

"The Red Iron and Bronze mined by the Orcs in one day is higher than the harvest from occupying the Orc tribe!"

Qin Luo couldn't help but sigh, "If we take down the Goblin race, wouldn't the daily output of metal resources easily exceed 100,000, and it is even possible to mine 200,000 or 300,000 units of metal ore a day!"

After sighing for a while, Qin Luo looked at the total amount of resources. Although recruiting units consumed a lot of metal resources.

However, the undead also captured a large number of metal resources during the day, and opening treasure chests also exploded some Red Iron, Bronze, and Mithril.

Because the richest resources in the Barren Land are various metal element ores, and the difficulty of obtaining them is much higher than that of basic resources like stone and wood. Even destroying some monster nests will explode a significant amount of metal resource ore.

77,000 units of Red Iron!

13,000 units of Bronze!

6,900 units of Mithril!

1,490 units of Refined Gold!

This is the number of various metal resource ores that Qin Luo currently has in his hands.

If so many metal resource ores were spread out, it would probably cause a shock to billions of lords! Qin Luo previously felt that 580,000 energy points was a very terrifying number.

However, if all these metal resources were sold, the harvested energy points would definitely exceed one million!

Even without all of them, just selling these two types of resources, Red Iron and Bronze, would yield 1.03 million energy points!

Over a million energy points can recruit another 400,000 Undead Skeleton Soldiers! However, having just recruited 200,000 skeleton soldiers, Qin Luo cannot continue to recruit in the short term. After all, the actions of Undead Skeleton Soldiers also require energy points.

The consumption of one Undead Skeleton Soldier may not be large, but there are so many of them, as many as 340,000, and they all need a large amount of energy points every day!

What's more, with the current territory and the strength of the enemies, these hundreds of thousands of undead should be enough.

Recruiting too many would instead become a burden.

Unless the territory expands again, needing to face more and stronger enemies, and needing to dispatch some undead to guard various places, and also to protect the safety of the territory, then there will be a need to massively increase the number of undead.

Therefore, Qin Luo's plan is to temporarily maintain the four major undead legions, with each legion having about 100,000 undead.

"Perhaps, in addition to maintaining the combat establishment members of the four major undead legions, we can also establish a mining legion, letting the undead distribute to the major mines for mining!"

"Anyway, the cost of skeleton soldiers is low; they only need to dig out a quarter of a unit of Red Iron ore to break even!"

"At the same time, this mining legion can serve as a reserve legion, and supervise the miners in various mines, protecting the safety of the mines and miners."

Qin Luo touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

Of course, the number of this mining legion is definitely limited. It's not that he can't afford to recruit them, but the capacity of the mines is limited.

Putting 10,000 undead in each mine, plus those indigenous laborers, can basically maintain the optimal mining state of a mine.

After all, the space inside the mine is limited. Fewer people mean less mining volume, but more people will lead to crowding, unable to unfold, and counterproductive.

"Since I have so many undead as laborers, what about those indigenous laborers?"

A crazy idea suddenly popped into Qin Luo's mind, but it was quickly rejected by him!

Although indigenous people have certain loyalty problems and cannot be absolutely loyal to the lord like undead units.

However, their work efficiency is much faster than that of rigid undead.

Especially the strong Orcs, whose mining speed is more than ten times higher than that of skeleton soldiers.

In addition, indigenous people also possess some special skills, which can play some roles besides mining.

For example, Dwarves can craft some mining tools and transport tools for the territory, greatly increasing the speed of mining.

Also, Qin Luo previously obtained three types of plant seeds, all of which were planted, and were responsible for being taken care of by more than a dozen humans with planting specialties, who could accelerate the growth speed of the plants.

If these were replaced by undead, they wouldn't be able to do it.

The most important point is that killing all these 10,000+ indigenous people and converting their corpses into undead is a very simple thing.

But in the future, when these indigenous people are needed, wanting to capture a large number of indigenous race creatures will not be so easy.

Indigenous people are not like monsters, which can be brushed out through monster nests! If they die, they are really gone!

So Qin Luo thought about it and gave up that crazy idea.

Anyway, his strength is so strong now, and he is not afraid of these indigenous people making any big waves.

"500,000 undead army!"

"That's it!"

Qin Luo decided to recruit ten more!

After all, the effect of "Collapse Armor" can cover all combat units.
