"How is the situation?"

In response, the minister only heard the words: "Report to your Majesty, the harem squad that had been sent to the No. 12 waters to perform reconnaissance missions have not returned yet, and no news has been heard back."

Eric Malton, who got such an answer, suddenly froze his expression.

The No. 12 waters are indeed far away from him, but the time has passed for a long time and has not come back yet, so something is likely to be an accident.

Aware of this, Eric Malton's face turned a little ugly.

Something happened to the harpies team. This matter seemed simple, but there were too many problems revealed.

Because this means that there is a very likely air force in the other side of the No. 12 sea area!

However, considering some unexpected situations, they may have been on the way back, but they may have been delayed by something.

I saw Eric Multon's face changed back and forth for a while and said, "Wait for a while and see the situation."

As for William Mousse, he could only continue to comfort him.

If this matter can be done for him, it will be much easier to ask him to send troops to support him later.

After receiving the news, William Mouss was obviously not satisfied with Eric Malton's reply.

Full of anxiety, he felt that time was passing very slowly. Obviously, for a person who has a long time, this amount of time is nothing.

And on Xia Qi's side, he was far away from the main battlefield, and his life was very comfortable.

The war on the Florence Islands will have a result before the end of the year. It is just abusing food, and there are almost no accidents.

On the other side, the geological exploration team that had obtained his approval to rush to the bitter and cold land to explore geology finally arrived at the area under the guidance of the Gemini soldiers.

The others stayed here to build a camp overnight. During this period, the captain of the geological exploration team led several members to a young soldier and said, "Comrade Hupa, we want to go to that place first, please take a look."

Hupa, a soldier of the Gemini Legion, is also the discoverer of this mine vein.

"Okay, Captain Jiang, please come with me."

Captain Jiang is a middle-aged man who looks nearly fifty years old. He has a pair of glasses on his nose. He looks a bit gentle, but his skin is very rough. He doesn't look like a clerk sitting in the office, but more like a person who often runs outside.

Taking Captain Jiang and his group, Hupa quickly walked towards the place where he had marked it before.

After walking a while, a group of geological exploration team members led by Captain Jiang were always observing the surrounding terrain.

Then, one of the team members spoke, "Since just now, I haven't seen much vegetation in a whole area nearby."

Captain Jiang nodded when he heard this because he also noticed this.

Although the environment in bitter and cold places is harsh, there are still many cold-resistant plants growing on the ground. It is actually rare to see completely bare areas like this.

"It seems that the geology is indeed a problem. Xiao Zhang, remember to bring some sand and soil samples back later."

"Okay, captain."

Everyone was talking and walking. After walking for a while, Hupa, who was responsible for leading the way ahead, stopped and then reincarnated and said to the group: "It's this, Captain Jiang."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Without further ado, the team members started their work.

I have to say that professionals are different.

Although the exploration equipment is still behind, just relying on some simple geomorphic characteristics and geological characteristics, a lot of information he had never expected before was obtained.

Let Hupa just follow behind and listen, and he feels a lot of benefits.

At the same time, listening to Captain Jiang and the others' words, the big rock pressing on Hu Pa's heart finally fell down, because from those words

He could know that Captain Jiang and his team made the same judgment as him.

There is definitely something underneath this.

Of course, today we are here to get a preliminary understanding of the situation. For further information, we have to look at the detection results in the next few days.

And during this period, Hupa also followed.

When he came out to carry out the task, he was not only responsible for leading the way, but also responsible for protecting the safety of the geological exploration team. Naturally, he had to follow the geological exploration team throughout the process.

There is no danger in this area now, so the work of the geological exploration team is also going very smoothly.

After some detailed exploration work, a report was quickly delivered to Xia Qi.

According to the exploration results of the geological exploration team, there should be an astonishing amount of coal mines under the area, and in addition to the coal mines, there is also a mineral they unknown.

Because after checking and testing the geological components, they discovered an unfamiliar component!

"Accompanimental mine?"

Seeing Xia Qi here, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

A vein with a companion mine is not a strange thing in itself. When he first started to mess with the mining industry, he had studied it for a while.

However, there are too many companion mines in coal mines. With this information alone, he doesn't know what the companion mine is.

Then, Xia Qi said to the guard beside him: "Xiao Hei, go to the Mineral Research Institute and get this piece of information about the coal mine."

In his early years, Xia Qi obtained a collection of minerals, which contained a large number of minerals and ore species. Some of them were discovered by Blue Star, but most of them were unknown to Blue Star.

During those days, he spent a lot of time and energy copying the contents on it.

After Luo Xiaohei came back with a thick book, Xia Qi began to quickly search and confirm the content according to it.

Among them, because this unknown mineral is a companion of coal, not all of this type can be sent out, which can narrow the scope.

In addition, this unknown mineral is something they have not discovered before, so all the associated minerals that have been discovered can be eliminated.

In this way, there are only a few remaining minerals.

As a result, the answer has not been narrowed down to one, but there are still several.

As for further information, it can only be obtained after the minerals are mined and studied.

However, no matter which mineral it is, it has the value of being mined.

Immediately, Xia Qi made a decision on the spot: "Zhang Liang, go and give me some instructions and prepare to build a mining site on the newly discovered mine vein in the bitter and cold land."

At the same time, with Xia Qi's thoughts moving, the system map was opened, and then the area in the bitter and cold land was automatically enlarged.

Today, Daxia is in a bitter and cold place, and there is only one rebuilt Twin Cities.

And that mine vein is far away from the Gemini Fortress. At that time, if he wants to connect the mining farm to his territory, it will probably take a lot of time and energy.

Thinking of this, Xia Qi couldn't help but feel a little headache.

But no matter what, first build the mining farm, then mine a batch of new minerals, and let the Ores Research Institute study it first.

Another period of time has passed, and the harem squad sent out before has not heard of it yet. Even Eric Multon has to admit the worst situation.

Now the trouble is coming. I used the exchange of sending a harp squad to help William Mousse investigate the No. 12 water area as a condition, and combined with part of the distribution of interests, to get a quarreling force from the other party to support it.

Now, nothing has been investigated, and the harpies team has also evaporated. It is obviously impossible to get support from the quackman troops from William Mousse.

When I think of this, Eric

Malton's mood suddenly became worse.

After hesitating for a while, he finally chose to tell the truth to William Mousse.

Eric Multon: The harpies I sent to the No. 12 Sea area may have been completely destroyed.

After receiving this news, William Mouss was shocked.

Although the orc civilization does not increase with its intelligence, he is not stupid. In this era, the advantages of air units are very great, and being able to destroy an air team can only explain one problem to a large extent, that is, the other party also has air units!

For a moment, the No. 12 Sea Area, which was already covered with fog in William Mouss' eyes, became even more mysterious in an instant.

Who did it?

Chinese players?

Or a foreign player?

And what is going on in the No. 12 sea area now?

This feeling of being out of control is really bad.

Just when Eric Multon was having a headache about this, news from William Mousse was already sent.

William Mousse: So, what are you going to do?

He was not in a hurry to express his opinion, he wanted to see Eric Malton's attitude first.

He sent a quarrel unit to support the other party because the other party agreed to help him investigate the situation in the No. 12 waters. Now, the harpies team has not found anything. Instead, he sent a quarrel unit to support the Black Sail Fleet to suffer heavy casualties.

No matter how you calculate this, he will lose a lot.

If Eric Multon couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, then he would likely choose to transfer back to his own Fishman unit.

At worst, he won’t get involved in the next thing!

Anyway, as long as he hides under the sea, other players on the battlefield will have no choice but to deal with him.

At this time, Eric Multon undoubtedly guessed William Mousse's thoughts, and for a moment, his mood became worse.

But he also knew that sooner or later he would explain this matter.
