The rules are the same as the 100-tier, after getting a hit, the probability of the corresponding technology level drops, down to the next level.
The only slightly good news is that it only drops 10% probability, much better than the previous two tiers.
Gu Hang drew twice more.
Luck was good once and bad another, getting him a basic and an elite level.
The basic level was particularly bad, yielding a Resource Detection Technology Blueprint.
Unlike the technologies obtained previously, this included not only the production of finished Black Boxes and mainframe Black Boxes, but also an extra item: a full set of detection knowledge encyclopedias and tutorials.
The latter was quite impressive.
Gu Hang immediately thought that with these, he could form several resource detection teams to explore what valuable resources lay within the lands under his control.
According to the technology’s description, teams equipped with detection devices and who have learned the knowledge can mark the value of the land. Protein soil fertility, what is suitable to plant, and detection and mining plan suggestions for mineral resources are of utmost importance.
The ruins of cities from before the war will one day be picked clean.
Discovering new metal deposits and researching how to dismantle and reuse the materials from the towering buildings in the city ruins are of significant importance.
For these tasks, Gu Hang planned to have Osenia take charge. She could establish a National Resources Bureau under the production department, specifically responsible for the exploration, planning, and utilization of various resources.
Although only one basic technology was obtained from the 1000-tier draw, if the relevant detection technology could find a major mine, it might break even.
Thus, Gu Hang was not disappointed.
The actual results proved that the detection technology was well worth the price.
Within just a month, after Osenia organized a group of people who had experience in this field, learned the detection knowledge, and equipped finished Black Box produced devices, they immediately began to see returns.
The abandoned cave where the Abandoned Cave Society had lived before the war was rediscovered after re-detection, revealing deep metal deposits with quite good reserves.
Although the mining difficulty was a bit challenging, they quickly developed a corresponding mining plan.
Patel, the head of the Weixing City Abandoned Cave District, took this seriously. He promptly dispatched corresponding construction teams, who, with the help of relevant machinery, began excavation and construction of the new mining area.
If all goes well, the new mining area will be put into production in three months. By that time, the raw material costs for the Weixing City Heavy Industry Base will significantly decrease: the minerals extracted directly from the new mine carry extremely low transportation costs.
Furthermore, this exploration team will also develop a comprehensive plan for the dismantling and resource recycling of the massive high-rise ruins after an on-site study.
This isn’t just about picking up trash; it includes two major aspects: the utilization of the many buildings left behind from the high-rise ruins and the utilization of the Low Energy Storms.
The former mainly targets those buildings that have survived the war and a century of Low Energy Storms’ baptism and still stand strong.
It’s obvious that the durability of these buildings is extremely strong. Although it will bring high demolition costs, the materials composing the buildings are also of higher value.
The high-strength concrete can be recycled as new construction materials after being crushed, useful for building bridges, paving roads, and constructing new buildings; the buildings also contain a large amount of metal, which can be directly recycled.
However, the recovery of these materials is secondary; the more important relevance is the utilization of Low Energy Storms.
The high-rise ruins are a frequent site of Low Energy Storms. Rubbish Town was established because it is on the edge of the storm-prone area, avoiding the storms’ path, but when the storm erupts every month or two, all utilization work on the high-rise ruins stops. However, the benefit brought by the storm is the hot ash stones left in its wake, which can be collected for fuel.
According to the exploration team’s research, the Low Energy Storm itself is a resource.
The main specialty of the Rage Owl Star used to be the Psychic Energy Field, a direct source of high-grade energy: Spirit Gas, which is very valuable.
But the wars destroyed those Psychic Energy Fields, releasing uncontrolled energy that resulted in Low Energy Storms. These storms carry intense energy, making it difficult for living beings to survive through them. Even with sturdy shelters, one must stay put with stocked food until the storm’s end.
Just letting these energies dissipate into the atmosphere and turn into some hot ash stones is a waste.

They should indeed hold higher value.
If it just remained an idea, then it would still be wishful thinking. Recognizing the nature of the Low Energy Storm is one thing, but utilizing it effectively is another.
However, during Gu Hang’s third 1000-tier tech card draw, he pulled a nice item:
[Compressed Energy Crystal Block: Elite Level]
[This is an application of advanced energy, capable of extremely compressing various types of energy into energy crystal blocks of different specifications and sizes. Its energy density far exceeds nuclear power and is stable and easy to utilize. It’s the energy foundation commonly seen in starships and heavy ground weaponry.]
