Rosanna's answer made the other three heaven-level group supremes very dissatisfied.
Especially the Supreme Hou Yueran of the Scarlet Headquarters was almost furious - one of his two A-levels was dead and the other was captured.
However, they were unable to force Rosanna, because this woman had quite a lot of background.
First of all, she is the second daughter of Viscount Norton, an imperial noble, and the Norton family is a rare noble with a fiefdom.
The second thing is that she has awakened mutated attributes, and since she is already a supreme being, ordinary supreme beings will not provoke her.
Furthermore, she married a good husband. Although his cultivation level was only A level, he was the legitimate son of an earl and held a high position in the government.
As for the fact that she made offerings to the Diamond Group, that was just the weakest link among her many auras.
Not to mention Hou Yueran, not even the two highest officials in the government dared to point fingers at her.
Therefore, the investigation team can only put aside the diamond's rebound and go through the entire incident first.
But after trying it again and again, I still can’t escape the diamond aspect.
Hou Yueran insisted that Diamond's team members should be severely punished - at least they should be given an enhanced version of truth-telling potion.
Rosanna firmly disagrees. As long as I am here, you will not be allowed to do this. If it doesn't work, you will be brought back to the empire for interrogation.
Ordinarily, when encountering such a big matter, all parties involved should investigate it carefully.
It is normal for a person who is slightly suspected to be detained for three to five months, and it is not unexpected to be detained for one or two years.
But after Rosana's insistence, the supreme leaders of the other three heaven-level groups refused to agree.
Want to investigate our people? Let’s start with the Diamond people, otherwise we won’t be able to explain to the team members!
They didn't say that they were angry - as the supreme, they had to explain themselves to the people below, right?
Therefore, although others were also questioned, it was just a formality, including Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei's background is indeed problematic, and his excuse for amnesia is also poor, but his record is too brilliant.
Not to mention that he also rescued Fangcao, Linghu and Hongyun from the Star Thieves. These three people did not hesitate to protect him.
Anyway, although his origins are unknown, he really doesn't attract much suspicion, and Rosanna didn't take any aim at him.
At the same time, the interrogation of those star thieves continued.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. On this day, someone finally dug something out of the star thief's mouth.
When the co-authors of the Star Thieves occupied this pioneering planet, they didn't think it was a good place and wanted to use it as their long-term home base.
According to the star thief, he once heard someone say - "We can only stay on this planet for twenty years at most."
Later, he kept asking, but the other party said nothing more. When he was forced to do so, he added, in fact, the mine can be mined for thirty years.
So he had the impression that the Star Thieves occupied this place just to mine.
The mine is very large, but time is too tight. Start with something that is easy to mine. If you can mine it for twenty years, you will be satisfied.
When he heard that minerals were involved, the Supreme Leader of the Energy Block Alliance couldn't sit still - if it hadn't been for this speculation, he wouldn't have come at all.
Exploring a planet will always involve various minerals, and the Energy Block Alliance has always been paying close attention to pioneering.
However, the empire also has regulations. In order to prevent the emergence of monopoly, the energy block alliance is not allowed to participate in pioneering.
Just concentrate on your energy block business and don't get involved in other fields.
Although Linghu's Qianduoduo Group is supported by the Energy Block Alliance, it has no direct affiliation and is considered affiliated at best.
Moreover, Xuan-level regiments are the upper limit of affiliation, and it is impossible for Tian-level regiments to be affiliated to the alliance - they simply cannot pass the review of the empire.
In the previous quarrels between the supreme leaders, the supreme leader from the alliance did not participate at all, so he was too lazy to get involved in these matters.
But when he heard that minerals were involved, he jumped right out, "The other star thieves were handed over to me for review, as well as the Diamond members."
Rosanna's expression changed when she heard this, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
She dared to confront other supremes, but she really didn't dare to offend the Energy Block Alliance.
This person didn't even see her in his eyes and said directly, "There's nothing inappropriate. What if it's an energy stone mine?"
He had been silent before because there was nothing worthy of his attention, so he just kept a low profile.
Now that a mineral has appeared, it has entered his business scope, and he will definitely do his part.
The Energy Block Alliance is a huge interest complex. If interests are really involved, a thousand Rosannas are no match.
Just when Rosanna didn't know what to do, a person broke in outside the door, it was Hou Yueran.
He said very bluntly, "Diamonds rebounded, I already know why... They want to hide the Zijin Mine!"
When Rosanna heard this, her expression changed instantly, "Hou Zhigao, you don't seem to have participated in communication in the past two days, right?"
If you haven't participated in it, why don't you just compare yourself with others and rely on spreading rumors?
Hou Yueran gave her a cold look, "I have been sensing the territory of Diamond Pioneer these past few days and found evidence."
Rosanna was stunned for a while, then coughed slightly, "Are you sure it's Zijin Mine?"
"I'm not interested in talking to you!" Hou Yueran's face sank and he yelled, "Get out of here!"
In the past, he was just suspicious and really didn't dare to provoke Rosanna, but now that he has the evidence, what is he afraid of?
The Supreme Leader of the Energy Block Alliance became interested, "Are there any energy stone mines?"
Hou Yueran glanced at him and replied calmly, "That is the scope of your investigation and has nothing to do with me."
Everyone has their own strengths, and no one is necessarily afraid of the other.
When it doesn't matter, he gives in, but when it comes to Scarlet's two captains being killed, he can't give in.
"I'm just curious," the guy from the Energy Block Alliance didn't mind, "how did you find out?"
There's really nothing to say about this. Hou Yueran was angry and couldn't afford to offend Rosanna, but he still couldn't bear to watch it.
Based on his own experience, he believed that there must be something wrong with the diamond. Although the star was stolen, did the diamond's territory still exist?
He didn't want to interrogate the Star Thief captives. Eight supremes came. How many Star Thieves prisoners were there in total?
So he went directly to check it himself. Zarif wasn't that big anyway.
The area that the Diamond Group is responsible for is even smaller, less than 10 million square kilometers, and most of it is undeveloped.
The potential threat to this planet is not great. It has been explored by several Supremes for a long time, so A-levels are left to colonize the planet.
However, even though the supreme power is strong, the area of nearly ten million square kilometers cannot be pinpointed in a few days.
But Hou Yueran did not investigate in detail. Matters worthy of the complicity of Diamond and Star Thieves are definitely not something that can be solved by a few square meters.
So he just went through it roughly, and then he really found an anomaly.
The area of that place is not large, just tens of square kilometers. The soil quality is a little strange, and the smell is not right.
Hou Yueran has a wood attribute and has a strong sense of perception. After discovering something abnormal, he rushed over to take a closer look.
Then he really discovered the clues. Potholes had been dug here, but they had been filled up not long ago.
He investigated again and found six large mines, which were large enough to accommodate large mining equipment.
Hou Yueran noticed this and felt that he had discovered the truth.
He didn't think it would be an energy stone mine, because he had checked it at the beginning of the pioneering period and found that this planet did not have the conditions for energy stone mineralization.
But it must be an important mine, otherwise, so many things would not have happened.
He thought it might be a gold mine. If a sky-level group discovered a large gold mine and did something extraordinary... it wouldn't be surprising.
But after some investigation, he suddenly discovered that... this mine was indeed a gold mine, but it was not just a gold mine!
In addition to gold mines, the core veins also contain purple gold—a metal more precious than gold.
In addition to being used in industry, this metal can also be used in the training of metallic warriors.
Generally speaking, only metallic warriors of A level and above are suitable to use purple gold for training.
But in fact, B-level metals can also be cultivated with it, but it is too uneconomical.
As for the C-level... I haven't tested it yet, and I can't say whether it can be used. But even if it can be used, it will definitely be less economical!
In addition to metal properties, it also has wood, stone and electromagnetic properties. Purple gold can also be used to practice, but the effect is relatively poor.
After Hou Yueran discovered the Zijin Mine, the reason for the rebound in diamonds became clear - they wanted to mine the mine privately.
When a pioneering group discovers minerals while pioneering a planet, they usually have three choices.
One is to trade mineral information, which can be sold out at one time or converted into shares to enjoy subsequent income.
The second option is to buy the mine yourself and then mine it yourself.
In this case, there will be a discount on the purchase, but the tax will be higher in the future, or some shares of the empire may be introduced.
The third case is a mixed type, which is a mixture of the first and second cases. The details will not be described again.
However, the empire also stipulated that the pioneers who discovered some minerals of great significance did not have the right to purchase them.
Whether from an economic or military perspective, the mining of some mines must be brought under imperial control.
These mines can only be acquired by professional companies, or even by imperial officials.
The pioneers who discover minerals will receive a large amount of information fees and may even receive meritorious rewards.
Zijin Mine is on the list that prohibits self-purchase.
The diamond man discovered the purple gold mine, and it was said that he could exchange it for a large sum of money.
However, the empire is not a fool, and it is impossible to engage in loss-making business. Although the information fee provided is high, Guojia's profits are even greater.
It is precisely because of this that diamond people are thinking crookedly. If they sell the information, how can they mine it themselves?
However, if you mine it yourself, it is not easy to keep the news secret. Once it gets out, you will be severely punished by the empire.
So they colluded with the star thieves, let the star thieves attack Zarif, and exploited the purple gold mine.
The following operations were all made up by Hou Yueran on his own without any evidence.
But now that the backfilled Zijin Mine has been discovered, he doesn't need evidence anymore.
No matter how much Diamond may argue, the private mining of purple gold happened in the area they were responsible for pioneering!
