Chapter 6 The Emerging Crisis

At midnight, Xu Shenxing sat up from the bed with a slutty face, covered his stomach and walked out of the tree house shakingly.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have drunk that thing."

He felt that his intestines were green, and it was unknown whether he regretted it or for other reasons.

There is no toilet in the tree house. Unless Xu Shenxing's mental quality is already high enough to watch his excrement perform free fall while going to the toilet, he will have to go to the public toilet below, which is like a broken straw shed.

"Damn it, it's time to build a toilet so far..."

After finally climbing down the tree, Xu Shenxing couldn't help it halfway through the road and finally ran behind a pile of bushes to solve his physiological problems. As for toilet paper... don't you see there are a lot of leaves around...

With a refreshed look on his face, Xu Shenxing planned to wash his hands at Quanyan and then go back to continue sleeping. Perhaps he had the time to pay attention to the surrounding environment, and at this time he heard a strange sound coming from not far away.

It sounds like someone is shoveling a stone with a shovel.

Xu Shenxing curiously pushed away the bushes and looked over there.

On the edge of the empty island, Peter was slugging out a dustpan from a large wooden box of ore, and then pouring it out of the island, allowing the ores to fall straight into the sea of ​​clouds.

And beside him, there were several similar boxes and a bunch of empty wooden boxes that had been emptied.

After thinking about it, he pulled Dawn out and asked her to hide beside him just in case, Xu Shenxing walked out of the bushes.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Peter was shocked by the sudden sound, but after seeing that only Xu Shenxing came, he showed a fierce smile on his face.

Immediately, he threw away the dustpan in his hand, pulled out the pickaxe from his waist, and took a step and waved it hard towards Xu Shenxing's head!

Xu Shenxing, who had no idea that the other party would take action without saying a word, only had time to subconsciously take a step back so that his head would not be hit, but he could no longer avoid it.

At this moment, Fu Xiao's petite and delicate figure suddenly appeared in front of Xu Shenxing. While pushing him away, he was hit on the forehead by the pickaxe tip of the pickaxe!

"Dawn!" Xu Shenxing's heart trembled suddenly.

But surprisingly, after a sour sound, the handle of the pickaxe was completely broken, but the sun hat was just knocked down, and there was no red mark on its fair forehead.

It was not until now that Xu Shenxing remembered that in "The Big Sky Age OL", the air ships have shields and armor values. Before the shield is completely gone, no matter how the air ship is beaten, it will be fine. To break the shield of a frigate, at least you have to get a speed-firing gun against the ship... It would be too whimsical to sink the air ship with a broken iron pickaxe.

Although Xu Shenxing figured it out, Peter naturally didn't know the reason. When he saw his pickaxe hit the other party's head, the other party was not injured at all. Instead, his pickaxe was broken and he was immediately frightened.

Fu Xiao, who still had a stern face and had no expression, didn't care what Peter was thinking. After being attacked, he immediately leaned forward and punched the man in front of him.

You should know that Fu Xiao is only half taller than Xu Shenxing. Although Xu Shenxing is taller among the same teenagers, he is only fourteen years old after all.

Then the question is, when Dawn hits this punch, which part of Peter's body will he hit?

"You can even beat the egg yolks this time..."

He glanced at Peter's squint eyes, covering his crotch and lying on the ground, almost foaming at his mouth. Xu Shenxing's mouth twitched, and subconsciously clamped his legs.

When he saw the little girl pulling out the cannon tube and pressing it against Peter's head and planning to execute him, Xu Shenxing quickly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, don't kill him!"

"Commander?"

Dawn tilted his head in confusion, but he still obediently stopped the movements in his hand.

"I have something to ask you, just answer it well. If you want to be petty or try to call for help, your head will turn into a pile of rotten tomatoes in the next moment," Xu Shenxing tried hard to make his still tender face look a little more ferocious, threatening Peter who had finally recovered, and at the same time, he also showed Xiao Xiao the all-metal weapon in her hand - even if he didn't fire, this thing could easily smash the ore: "Have you heard it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I, no, the villain must know everything, please let me go..."

Peter burst into tears and his whole body was trembling, not knowing whether it was painful or afraid.

"Why throw away the ore that has been mined so hard?"

"This is the order of the above-mentioned master, saying that it was because the cargo ship could not be loaded and occupied space when it was placed, so it was thrown away..."

"If the cargo ship cannot be loaded, it will be thrown away? It seems that you have no intention of knowing everything?"

Xu Shenxing raised his face and tried to sneer and increased his deterrence: "Or do you think I dare not kill you?"

"No, no, no, little... no, uncle, you must believe me, I only know so much!"

Peter said in panic with a squinting eyes.

However, Xu Shenxing found that he seemed to have deliberately avoided his gaze, and obviously he looked like he was in his heart.

It seems that this young body and face are completely intimidating.

"Haha, it turns out that I just saw the normal order above, so I was going to kill me? Do you really think I was so naive that I couldn't even see such things?" Xu Shenxing's face showed an indifferent look: "Since you don't want to tell the truth, then forget it, kill him, remember to make a little less noise."

"Get orders, commander."

Dawn immediately raised the cannon barrel in his hand.

"Wait! I said, I said everything, don't kill me!"

When he found out that the two people in front of him were not joking, but were really planning to kill him, Peter squintedly realized that he seemed to be unable to deceive the two little kids who might not be older than him.

"The ore is thrown away to secretly make room for pyroxene! There are actually two mining teams on this island. You are just for the purpose of concealing people. The real purpose of the Wells Mining Consortium is not the cheap jade steel stone you are digging, but the pyroxene that can make huge profits!"

"Phosseous?" Xu Shenxing, who inherited the ignorant shortcomings of the original owner of the body, subconsciously asked the young girl beside him: "Dawn, do you know what that is?"

But he immediately came to his senses. Dawn was built with a system and it was only less than three days after it was born, so naturally he would not know about the world.

"Know."

"Sure enough, I don't know... Hey? Do you know?!"

Facing Xu Shenxing's surprised expression, the little girl nodded calmly: "The index entry 'Phoctron Turbine', Phoctron is one of the few minerals in nature that can independently suspend without supplying energy. It can only be discovered in some small islands. The enhanced pyroxene turbine can carry hundreds of times its own weight and is a necessary component for building a war fortress of the gods. When the last Sky War ended, the Anti-War Peace Agreement jointly signed by all countries stipulated that in order to prevent the birth of war fortresses and weapons of the same level, the construction of pyroxene turbines was prohibited from the beginning of the agreement, and the industrial mining of pyroxene was also prohibited."

"Why do you know this?" Xu Shenxing asked strangely.

"Dawn invaded the database of the cargo boat." The little girl pointed to the cargo ship of the mining consortium docked in the temporary airport in the distance.

“…”

OK, it turns out that the little guy is still a hacker?

"Commander, did Dawn do something wrong?"

"No, you did a great job. But let me tell you before doing this in the future."

Xu Shenxing touched the little girl's head, which made Fu Xiao narrow his eyes slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

After doing all this, Xu Shenxing looked at the trembling and squinting Peter again.

"In other words, from the beginning, that consortium wanted to make contraband, right?" Xu Shenxing asked, "That's why he did this kind of thing secretly without hiding it from us."

"Other, it's not like that. The pyroxene production is very low... It was discovered recently and started mining... Before that, the main transportation items were indeed the Yugang mined by you... and after these days of mining, the pyroxene veins are almost exhausted."

Peter said carefully.

For some reason, Xu Shenxing always felt a subtle sense of incongruity in his heart.

So he began to reorganize the information he had.

First, the mining consortium has discovered it recently and has begun to secretly mine pyroxene.

At the same time, due to the influence of the cold current, Gaelan Island began to experience air shocks at a relatively frequent frequency.

If pyroxene mining is linked to this matter, is the reason why the sky island is vibrated only because of the cold current?

Then the mining consortium announced that the Göelan Island veins were about to dry up, so the cargo ship was stopped for an extra week to pull all the minerals away.

But the fact is that the cargo ship has no extra space to place ore, so that the raw Yugang ore that can create a lot of economic value must also be discarded.

In other words, they must dock on this island even if they need to lose some of their money.

For capitalists, there are only two situations where they will do business at a loss.

The first is to lose some of the funds to earn more benefits.

The second is to prevent more losses by losing some funds.

To be honest, Xu Shenxing is completely confused about the first situation, while the second one has a guess.

What is more loss than losing jade steel rough stone? That is losing pyroxene rough stone.

So under the current circumstances, what happens to lose the pyroxene rough stone?

"Fu Xiao, I remember when we first met, you said 'There are many risk factors here'?" Xu Shenxing's face turned pale and asked Fu Xiao: "Then can you tell me now what the risk factors you are talking about?"
