Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1436

Chapter 1436 The Big Empty Cake

Like a tumbleweed in a storm, the bloated man rolled and crawled away from the super mining vehicle.

Shen Yuling was still angry. He paced back and forth atop the mining vehicle with a gloomy face.

Looking at the huge wheel-type bucket with a diameter of more than fifty meters, it was like the bloody mouths of dozens of giant beasts, constantly tearing and swallowing the ore. The sparks from the friction between the pieces of ore could seemingly ignite him at any time.

A thin and small-sized prospector with gray sideburns climbed onto the roof of the car.

Judging from the Hell Beast leather, his protective clothing meticulously refined with scales, the Apocalyptic Beast bones, his safety helmet made of super-strong alloy, which was enough to withstand the bombardment of heavy cannons, the prospector had extremely strong abilities and a high status.

However, he was frowning like a crumpled newspaper.

The prospector lingered at the edge of Shen Yulin’s anger. It was as if Shen Yulin was a demon that was even more terrifying than a monster. Once he stepped into this circle, he would be completely devoured by the demon, including his skin and bones.

Shen Yulin glanced at the prospector from the corner of his eye.

He waved his hand and retreated to the left and right.

He also ordered the output power of the super mining vehicle to be increased by a level.

The rotating speed of the wheel-type bucket suddenly increased, producing a deafening roar.

Even with the stability of hundreds of caterpillar tracks and supporting arms, the roof of the car still shook violently like an earthquake.

Now, only Shen Yulin and the prospector were left on the roof.

Both of them were experts above the level.

Even if the sound of mining was as loud as a volcanic eruption.

Both of them could precisely control the vibration of the muscles in their throats and constrict the sound waves into a line and send it into each other’s eardrums. They would definitely not be heard by a third party.

“Xue Gong, I’ve said it many times. If the Sky Falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. If you want to die, we will all die together. Don’t always put on a panicked and panicked look. Are you afraid that others won’t be able to see through it? Do you have a ghost in your heart?”

Shen Yulin looked at “Engineer Xue”with disappointment.

Engineer Xue had a guilty conscience to begin with.

Hearing Shen Yulin’s words, he immediately jumped up in fright. Shen Yulin hurriedly went forward and pressed his shoulders. He pressed his feet back onto the roof of the car and his heart back into his chest. “Don’t be anxious, Old Xue. This isn’t a matter for you alone. Believe me, no matter what happens, there will be countless big shots who will help us hold it up.”

Knowing that engineer Xue would not be able to withstand the intimidation, Shen Yulin could only change his face. He softened his tone and asked, “How is it? What’s the latest result?”

Engineer Xue swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, but he still could not wipe away the dejection on his face. Shivering, he handed over a report as if he was handing over his own death sentence.

Shen Yuling took the report and found that the words on it were all messed up by engineer Xue’s cold sweat and his out-of-control spiritual energy.

Frowning slightly, he held the report in his hand and stared at engineer Xue without saying a word. Engineer Xue also realized that he had lost his composure. He wiped his face and closed his eyes, he said in despair, “We secretly drilled three more exploration holes at the edge of the Red Creek Trench, the deepest of which was 2,770 meters underground. The result was the same.

“About 700 meters underground, there is indeed a very rich vein of Honghui Jade. The development of the ore layer and the quality of the Honghui jade crystal clusters are both very good. Based on past experience, this is indeed a super-rich ore with a potential reserves of 100 million tons or even 200 million tons.

“However..

“The average thickness of the ore layer is less than 50 meters. “When it reaches eight hundred meters underground, the ore veins will be fragmented and eroded by all kinds of worthless associated ores.

“The quality of the brilliant red jade crystal clusters has also dropped drastically. The top-quality crystals that can be burned or cultivated without smelting have become inferior crystals that can be stuffed into buses and even destroy the engines.

“When we are less than a thousand meters underground, even the reserves of low-grade crystals have experienced a precipitous collapse. The surroundings of the mother lode are full of holes, faults, folds, and traces of magma erosion. However, the brilliant Red Jade Crystal Cluster is nowhere to be found

“Have you searched every direction and every rock layer?”‘Shen Yulin was expressionless, but his fists were clenched so hard that they turned white.

“We’ve, we’ve looked everywhere. We’ve almost turned the entire Red Creek Creek Ravine upside down. Even if there’s an embroidery needle hidden underground, we should have found it by now.”

Engineer Xue moaned, “But those damn red brilliant jade crystal clusters have disappeared, disappeared…”

“So –“

Shen yuling said, “Come to a conclusion. Compared to the red brilliant jade mine at the bottom of the raging waves mountain range, how much is the development value of our Red Creek Ravine project compared to the other party?”

“One-third.”

Engineer Xue opened his eyes and revealed an expression that said, “Even if you stick out your head, you will still be cut. If you shrink your head, you will be cut. If you die early, you will be reincarnated early.”

Shen Yuling was silent for a whole minute.

One minute later, he sighed, he put his arm around engineer Xue’s shoulder and said, “Then, Old Xue, as the top prospector of the Huanyu Group, can you tell me why such a poor mine, which doesn’t have much development value at all, was considered by you as a mine with amazing reserves and great development value that will completely change the future of Dragon City?”

Engineer Xue began to tremble again.

It was not because of the killing intent that Shen Yulin released, which was sharper than a scalpel, but because of his anger. It was because Shen Yulin had questioned his professional ability.

“Because this was originally a rich mine, an unprecedented and immeasurable rich mine!”

Dozens of thick veins protruded out of engineer Xue’s Monkey Chin. He argued with a red face and ears, “Based on all the specimens, data, and samples that we have found, and the development of the crystal veins in the monster mountain range, this is a super-rich mine with a potential reserves of more than 100 million tons. Unless I’m blind, no, even if I am blind, I can still smell the scent of the brilliant red jade clusters. They were there in the first place!”

“And then?”

Shen yuling said, “Hundreds of millions of tons of red jade crystals buried deep underground have disappeared?” A strange expression appeared on engineer Xue’s face.

At first, he was at a loss, but then he became extremely determined.

“That’s right, they have disappeared. To be more precise, there are people. Well, they are definitely not people, but there must be something that has stolen all of them!”

Engineer Xue shouted, “We found a lot of very strange channels in the rock about 2,000 meters underground in Hongxi Ditch. We also found a lot of plant fibers inside. It was as if… The roots of some plant had pierced deep into the crystal veins and sucked all our honghui jade crystal clusters dry. Then, they stole them!”

“The roots of plants?” Shen Yulin looked at engineer Xue with a strange expression. “Without the roots of a plant, it’s impossible to go 2,000 meters underground, even if it’s an artificial plant created by the Dragon City Agricultural University.”

“I’m not a botanist.”

Engineer Xue said, “But the samples I collected can only support such an absurd conclusion.”

“In other words –“.

Shen Yuling thought for a moment and said, “The ‘Red Creek Creek Project’was originally a big cake that was sweet and tempting, but when we really went all out and snatched the cake in our hands, we discovered that the most delicious cream and fruit inside the cake had long been secretly emptied from the bottom, leaving only a thin layer of shell at the top?”

Engineer Xue nodded solemnly.

“Then, where do the ‘plants’that you are talking about grow?” Shen Yulin narrowed his eyes and asked, “Where did the roots of the plants come from?”

“The erosion and sucking must have happened slowly over tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. After it devoured all the essence of the Crystal Lode, it retracted the roots, leaving only a few fibers and traces of the pores.”

“Exactly,”engineer Xue said. “Judging from Kong Dao’s direction, if such a plant really existed, it should have grown along the raging Tiger River in the north.”

Following the direction that he was pointing at, Shen Yulin saw the vast land of Tulan under the boundless night sky.

Shen Yulin was very focused.

It was as if every plant in Tulan ze was deeply imprinted in his eyes.

After a long time, he slowly withdrew his gaze, he said as if nothing had happened, “Alright, I already know the situation. Old Xue, don’t be so nervous. There are always more solutions than difficulties. Now is the time to solve the problem, not to find someone to be responsible or to punish. Besides, such a big hole, even if we cut off our heads, it wouldn’t be enough, right?

“How about this? Leave this report with me for now. When you go back, you can issue a new exploration report. A… Beautiful report. You know what I mean.”

Engineer Xue widened his eyes and took three steps back. His face was full of shock.

“No, this… this won’t do. I can’t tamper with the Exploration Report!”He blurted out.

“You can.”

Shen Yuling said calmly, “You are the top prospector of our Huanyu Group. Your Nose is as sensitive as that woman Lu Siya’s. You have been respected and trusted by so many people in the prospector association. Who would dare to question your authoritative report “Even if no one questions it for the time being, as the project continues to be developed, it will definitely be discovered by others. By then, I will be finished!”

Engineer Xue moaned, “There has never been a prospector in Dragon City who dared to tell such an exaggerated lie on such a large-scale development project! Once the matter is exposed, my reputation will definitely be ruined, and I will be completely finished!”

“Do you think that your reputation will not be ruined now?” Shen Yuling said coldly, “You have already faked it. You have already made a piece of barren ore that has no value for development into a super-rich ore with an astonishing return on investment!”
