Pink Lotus Mining Company

After I offer the blueprint, she then ask what can our ship do... I explain all feature of this ship.

She is of course not believing me.... Well, two mining module operated just by one man remotely is never heard before. It is too far of technology advancements. And I don't have anything that can proof my word.

She then said, even if I believes you and your ship, we still can't build the ship, we don't have the tool after all.

And my plan to build the ship is postponed until later date.

....

With the spending in area right and food, I now have 12.000 petal. 4000 petal more than my estimation. I am actually considering to hire another worker so we can work in shifts. In the end I decided not to hire more. I need to at least get some money and pay off my loan first.

We are now at our mining area. Our mining area have one asteroid that have a diameter at about 100 m, three asteroid that have diameter of 20 meter and many asteroids with 5 meter diameter.

I know why it is said that this area reserve is bad. This area only have one big asteroid. Why is the System said this area is good??

I said in mind 'System, why are you categorize this area as good?'

System displayed [It is because in this area you can sell your mined product easier.]

'Why is that?'

[User still don't have distribution system.... User still needs third party to distribute mined product.... If user choose remote area, only few distributor want to go there. Not worth the time, go far from the usual route and get only a little product.]

'So you think this area is good, because connectivity? And the reserves is actually bad?'

[Yes and yes. But the bad reserve is only for big company, you need to mine for many years to deplete this area reserve.]

I guess that's true, some new company choose remote location for their first mining area. They choose the good reserve, because they feel like that's the way to go. When they get to mine, they realized 'This good reserve is too good for me'. And they get blown again because many transport company don't willing to go to their area, if there is a company that willing to go, the transporting price is very big... With the worker salary, machine maintenance, and other spending, their income is... let's not think about that.

When you think about selling price of mining area, it is really cheap compared to how much money that can be earned. This is because the country wanted to encourage people to mine so there will be many mineral. That mineral will be used by country to expand to other unclaimed territories. Of course even if the area is cheap, the ship is not, and that's one thing that makes people don't want to start mining company.

...

So we are now ready to start mining. I have teached Eli how to operate the mining module.

Our ship is now hovering around the biggest asteroid. After a few minutes...

Four mining module is being launched. Short after, these module lands in asteroid. That four asteroid landed in a square formation. The distance between each module is around 7-8 meters. There is a thick wire connecting these modules and ship, this is power line. There is also a metal hose that will be used for transporting mined products.

All four modules have landed and ready to start mining. I and Eli check all indicators again, all green.

Mining process is now started. I and Eli's operate these module from the ship. I now realizes that, of course two module can be operated by one people but it is better if one people just operate one module. I think I need to consider hiring new worker...
