The robot was not broken, nor had it gone missing; it was still working.
Its condition was 100%, and its battery was at 98%. This unit had its own solar panels and would automatically recharge.
Over the past few days, the reconnaissance robot had also sent back data, including the base's surrounding walls, snow accumulation, and snow-oil grass.
However, its reconnaissance range had only extended about 500 meters from the base.
Its speed was comparable to a tortoise!
If he were to rely on this single reconnaissance robot to find the mining area, it would likely take at least half a month.
Jiang Ye, driving his vehicle, could locate a mining area in a few minutes by simply driving across the wilderness and sniffing the air.
It was practically useless!
Jiang Ye closed the control panel, a wry smile on his face.
After eating, he continued working in the afternoon.
He drove the excavator to the mining area to dig for ore.
He worked straight through until seven in the evening before returning to the base.
He was busy again until eight-thirty, selling all the mined ore.
His hard work in the afternoon had earned him 549,000 yuan.
His personal assets had increased to 1,335,600 yuan.
He opened the chat channel, and a flood of private messages popped up!
Cao County Citizen: Holy cow! The meat cans are sold out! I want to order five thousand!
Cao County Citizen: Are you there? Are you there, are you there, are you there? I'm adding another three thousand to my order, so that's eight thousand meat cans for me!
Cao County Citizen: Adding another five thousand to my order. Please ship them quickly, I need a total of 13,000 cans! This stuff has become legal tender! So many people are asking about it!
Cao County Citizen: My private messages are exploding. I might add more orders. Please ship 13,000 now. I'll ask for more once I've sold these. I don't have enough money to order more. Can you stay up late tonight?
Each message was more urgent and excited than the last!
Jiang Ye was surprised; he had never seen such large orders before.
He quickly shipped the goods!
He opened the Galaxy Mall and continuously purchased meat cans, then transmitted them to Cao County Citizen.
After transmitting 13,000 cans, he waited five minutes for the final payment to arrive. She was probably too busy on her end.
He made a profit of 50 yuan per can, so for 13,000 cans...
650,000 yuan had been credited to his account!
Jiang Ye watched his account balance soar to 1,985,600 yuan.
"Wow, this is so powerful?"
Jiang Ye was stunned.
Compared to this, his previous sales were not even considered popular; they were merely selling well.
The current sales trend for meat cans was a clear case of supply not meeting demand!
Cao County Citizen: Are you going to sleep early? Can you wait a little longer before sleeping? I need more goods.
Jiang Ye: I'm not tired. You focus on your work, I'll wait for you.
With money to be made, what was a little late night?
Jiang Ye got up and took out a subwoofer from the storage cabinet.
He spent an unprecedented 1,000 yuan to buy a piece of music and started playing it.
Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos in D Major, K. 448!
To be honest, Jiang Ye wasn't particularly fond of this kind of piano music.
The reason he spent 1,000 yuan to buy it was because this piece was very special.
It was rumored that scientists had conducted experiments: many people who listened to a segment of Mozart's K. 448 experienced an improvement in their intelligence!
Jiang Ye wasn't sure if it would work, but he was in a good mood after making a small fortune and wanted to give himself a boost.
He set the music to play on repeat. After listening to it twice, another private message arrived.
Cao County Citizen: Holy hell, the sales of these cans are through the roof! Everyone who bought them has become a repeat customer, and those who haven't are flocking to buy! Damn it, give me another ten thousand!
Jiang Ye: Amazing! Shipping immediately!
It was clear that Cao County Citizen was extremely excited, even resorting to profanity.
Jiang Ye quickly shipped the goods, selling another ten thousand cans.
The payment was settled quickly, a hefty 500,000 yuan.
His personal account balance surged again, reaching 2,485,600 yuan!
Jiang Ye's heart pounded. This was too fast; it was more efficient than his own mining.
He had worked hard mining all day and earned over a million yuan.
In the evening, he had made over a million yuan from two sales within an hour of each other!
The speed of earning was so astonishing that Jiang Ye even began to consider whether he should change his strategy, abandon mining, and focus solely on selling.
However, this thought lasted only half a minute before it was dismissed.
The current popularity of the meat cans was a phenomenal phenomenon, supported by various factors. For instance, the appearance of snow-oil grass had given many people some money, and everyone was lacking salt and meat. If it were a different product or a different time, it might not sell so well.
Therefore, mining was still a good option.
He would leave the business matters to Cao County Citizen to manage.
Being a behind-the-scenes supplier was good enough for him.
Feeling tired, Jiang Ye climbed into bed to sleep.
He slept until six in the morning, then got up, washed his face, and brushed his teeth with a homemade toothbrush.
The handle was made from corn stalks, and the bristles were dried plant fibers. There was no toothpaste, so he had to brush hard.
After washing up, he went out to milk the cows.
The cows mooed as usual until the milk was all squeezed out, then they quieted down.
Jiang Ye drank a few sips and sold the rest.
He opened the chat channel and found many private messages again.
Cao County Citizen: Wow, the sales are truly incredible. I feel like we're going to get rich. I've already sold over five thousand of the ten thousand cans I just bought.
Cao County Citizen: Are you asleep yet? Add another 5,000 to the order! Meat cans, quick, quick, quick!
Cao County Citizen: Are you asleep? No way, you're asleep at only one o'clock? Are you even young?
Cao County Citizen: If you wake up to use the restroom at night, please send me a shipment. I need a total of ten thousand meat cans.
Cao County Citizen: Fine, I'll go to sleep now. Ship them to me tomorrow!
Jiang Ye exclaimed, "Damn it!" and sat down, clicking on the Galaxy Mall to buy meat cans in bulk.
He had anticipated they would sell well, but he hadn't expected them to be this popular!
He quickly shipped over ten thousand meat cans.
As soon as the shipment was sent, the payment arrived, a full 500,000 yuan.
It seemed Cao County Citizen had boundless energy, staying up so late and waking up so early. She was indeed a good economics student.
Cao County Citizen: Alright, I still have over ten thousand cans here. They should last a few hours. You go ahead and do your thing.
Jiang Ye: Got it. I'll come back at noon. If you need more goods, leave a message, and I'll ship them at noon.
Just as he was about to leave the base panel to go mining, a notification sound suddenly rang out.
Jiang Ye opened the chat channel and saw a brand new pinned message.
[Temperature Rise Warning!]
[According to satellite detection of this planet, winter is about to end. In the next three days, temperatures will surge to 0 degrees Celsius, followed by a gradual warming.]
[All colony commanders are advised to be vigilant for potential disasters such as avalanches, floods, beast tides, and plagues.]
[Spring is coming, which may not be good news. Wishing you all good luck!]
Jiang Ye was taken aback.
The long, harsh winter was over?
For a moment, he felt a sense of being at a loss.
Jiang Ye reviewed the warning message, which mentioned four types of disasters.
Avalanches were not a concern at all; there were no mountains nearby. Only those colony commanders living at the foot of mountains risked being buried by blizzards.
Floods, however, were quite possible. With over half a meter of snow accumulating all around, a sudden thaw would undoubtedly lead to widespread flooding.
Beast tides were completely unpredictable, and preparations would need to be made.
Plagues were also possible. Many colony commanders had fallen ill after arriving on this planet. It was likely that some pathogenic bacteria capable of infecting humans existed.
