Shen Chengfeng controlled the mecha and leaned down, holding a black stone in his huge palm. The engine roared softly before he pinched off the tip of the stone.
Tang Lang narrowed his eyes slightly. The hardness of this stone was actually beyond his imagination.
"I said at the time that it was the tenacious vitality of Taklama that attracted me. In fact, it was only part of the reason. The most important reason..." Shen Chengfeng suddenly laughed: "I'm afraid no one has To think that there is something like this buried under the yellow sand!"
The dark stone about the size of a football shone with an unpretentious light in the palm of Shen Chengfeng's mecha. Perhaps it had no other noticeable features other than its hardness. Xiang Yu's mecha's scanner had already finished scanning the stone. The overall analysis provided Tang Lang with the conclusion that the structural composition is rich in chromium and titanium minerals, each accounting for 7% of the titanium gold element..."
Tang Lang's eyes flashed through the data calmly. It looked like a very high-end ore. The high-end brain of Xiang Yu's mecha couldn't give a specific name, but only gave its elemental composition.
Then the next moment, Hobrou's surprised voice came: "Damn it, it doesn't make sense! This kind of nuclear ore should not be produced on a planet that still has life! How can there be such a thing here?"
Without waiting for Tang Lang to ask, Hu Daorou explained directly to Tang Lang: "Don't ask me what nuclear ore is. It's the name of the Yanyun Galaxy. You can name it whatever you want in this star field. Call it Heidan Ducheng. If I explain it this way, you will know how powerful the Black Egg Ore is. You know that substances have a hardness ranking list! You also know that as humans explore further and further in the universe, More and more materials will be discovered. As you know, the hardest material on the Blue Star is diamond. If it were placed on the material hardness ranking list established by the Smoky Cloud Galaxy thousands of years ago, it would probably rank tenth. He is ranked third among the top ten thousand people, but this black egg ranks third."
Tang Lang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Although he has not personally experienced the advanced civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy, just looking at the "Little Overlord Learning Machine" of Hobolaou can tell how advanced they are. It is a developed civilization that has traveled across a large river system. Compared with them At first glance, the human civilization that is still spinning in a small area of the Milky Way is like a kindergarten child, who has not graduated from elementary school at most. On the hardness list they established, a substance can be ranked third, so it is naturally awesome.
"This black egg is not only hard, but also very tough after being extracted. It even ranks first in price in the Yanyun Galaxy, because it is so difficult to obtain. Because this thing is basically found under the surface of the neutron star. Kilometers away, the reason for its formation is that the huge pressure of the neutron star compresses the atomic nucleus of the rock. After years of evolution, the atomic nucleus is slowly compressed into a mass of material. To be precise, this material is composed of neutrons and protons. "Mixed." Hobururou exclaimed: "I don't know why this kind of material appears on a planet whose vitality has not yet reached the end of its life. Or maybe, an extremely long time ago, this was a neutron star? But why did it not die and become a planet that could breed life again? The universe is really amazing."
A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Lang's eyes. The hob meat is getting more and more outrageous. What is the density of a neutron star? One cubic centimeter of matter must be hundreds of millions of tons. If it were that thing, it would not crush old Comrade Shen. If you eat meat pie, you can still laugh so happily.
"Although I don't know how it appeared here, I can tell you with certainty that probably due to the evolution of the planet, its density is not as high as the core ore collected from the Smoky Cloud Galaxy, but its composition is the same. Not bad." How could Hobrourou not know what Tang Lang was thinking, and continued: "Otherwise, I would say that the universe is magical! If the core ore is really given to you, you will not be able to smelt it with your current level of technology. But this low-density and reduced-mix version of the core ore may have reduced hardness and toughness, but it’s just right for you scumbags.”
Surprise flashed in Tang Lang's eyes. He didn't expect that he would be given such a big surprise just after arriving in the Dark Star Territory. Thinking about it, the Dark Star Territory is more mysterious than he imagined. There may be more to it than just a bad environment. There are secrets in it that even human civilization itself has not yet discovered.
Shen Chengfeng was still laughing: "Do you know how I felt after discovering this strange ore? The largest resources and monopolies have always been in the hands of the two super giants. With their strong national power, they have the most powerful The fleet firmly monopolizes the resources that can be found. In order to survive, other countries can only take huge risks and strive to expand into the unknown starry sky, paying countless sacrifices of wealth and human life, but it is far less than their hoarding and hoarding of rare goods. You can claim your results as your own in an instant.
Therefore, they are getting stronger and stronger, and the entire starry sky has to act according to the rules they set. We, the Southwest Federation, can only be forced to sign a humiliating agreement, swallow the bitter water for a hundred years, and win a century of respite for the people of the Federation. The two major The reason why super countries can be so unscrupulous is that they have enough resources and they are strong enough.
But this time, they don’t have this kind of ultra-high hardness ore that has never been found outside the Dark Star Territory! But we do have..."
"The whole planet!" Shen Chengfeng laughed so hard that tears almost came out. The mecha opened its arms as if to embrace the sky. "After investigation, under the long yellow sand, the shallow ones are like this, and the deep ones are only fifty meters. , all..."
Tang Lang and Fatty were stunned.
They were actually standing on a large piece of ore, and it was so hard that it could break the mecha if the stone was pulled down.
Really, so magical.
"In two months, we have refined the ore. The hardness of this refined metal is far higher than that of all kinds of metals we currently know, including the rarest blue gold. If we can use this to build machines With the body of A, an intermediate second-level mecha master can easily defeat a mecha master one level above him, just like the overwhelming advantage that the Jiepen people's 9th-generation mechas have over us on the planet Lafite. ." Shen Chengfeng glanced at the black stones at his feet, as if he had unearthed a golden mountain, and his voice was trembling: "By then, our Southwest Federation soldiers will not be equipped with 9th-generation mechas, but 10th-generation mechas. If you don’t beat the Jie Peng people until they are called Mama, I will change their name to Jie Peng.”
"Then what are you waiting for? Dig!" The fat man let out a "thrilling" cheer.
This practical man simply pulled out his alloy knife and started chopping at the exposed rocks on the ground.
Sparks were flying, and even the mecha couldn't hide the golden light from Fatty's greedy eyes.
"With our current equipment and scientific research capabilities, we can produce one kilogram of finished product every day!" Shen Chengfeng's sigh was like a demon coming from under the Nine Netherworld, making the fat man feel like he was struck by lightning.
"Are you saying that if you want to collect the materials for a mecha, based on your current ability to refine metal, it will take close to 50 years?" Fatty carefully made the conversion and asked blankly.
"That seems to be the case!" Shen Chengfeng was also very painful, but he replied extremely honestly.
Tang Lang and Fatty collectively wanted to vomit blood.
It's like the old Comrade Shen promised to prepare a full banquet for them who had been hungry for five or six days in a barren land, but he had to wait another year to complete it.
It will take fifty years to get one, so you guys have already gone to raise your grandson! Who the hell is still playing with mechas here?
"We can only be responsible for cutting the ore and transporting it back to the Federation. With the Federation's productivity, even if it has to be kept secret, wouldn't refining more than a dozen tons a day be just a joke?" The fat man was not easily discouraged.
But Shen Chengfeng shook his head: "I have the same idea as you. After discovering the ore and successfully refining it, I made a top-secret report to Director Changsun. Ten days ago, Director Changsun gave me the reply that the material was It is a first-level strategic reserve resource. Without the authorization signed by both him and the head of state, not a single gram can be transported into the federal territory. Anyone who discloses this resource will be punished with treason!"
Tang Lang narrowed his eyes slightly. Strategic reserve resources? And they are still outside the borders of the Federation. Is Chief Sun so confident in the situation of the war? Or is it the other extreme?
As soon as he heard that he would be punished with treason, the fat man was startled and quickly threw away the few pieces of ore held in the mechanical palm: "Just pretend that I didn't hear anything about this today. Brother Shen, you didn't say anything either. We just discussed such a nutritious topic about the meaning of life, right!"
"Even if you want to push it now, you can't push it away. Besides, since Brother Shen told you, he is naturally authorized." Tang Lang looked at Shen Chengfeng. "I just want to know, in the Dark Star Territory, Chief Changsun didn’t prohibit the use of this thing, right?”
"Haha, Chief Changsun naturally did not authorize it, but I, Shen Chengfeng, think that as the supreme commander, it would be a big joke if I don't even know the most important resources on Taklama!" Shen Chengfeng heard this. When Tang Lang said this, he couldn't help laughing loudly.
The two people in the mecha had a hint of relief on their faces without any trace of it.
This is the true transfer of command.
If Shen Chengfeng handed over command before, it was mainly based on brotherhood and Changsun Hong's military orders, but at this moment, it was a complete handover of power. Therefore, by frankly revealing the biggest secret on the planet where the base is located Tell each other.
Otherwise, Tang Lang would just spend a month here as the supreme commander. After he left, Shen Chengfeng would still be the boss here. But now, he told Tang Lang in disguised way that as long as When Tang Lang comes, the independent regiment will obey Tang Lang's command.
Tang Lang now knows that this is also a hidden trick of Changsun Hongliu. He even believes that as long as he returns, he will make some insinuations to find out what Tang Lang knows. If he doesn't know this, he may be waiting for Shen Cheng The most important thing is no longer the materials, but the strong ships and cannons that come quietly.
Obviously, Shen Chengfeng wanted to win the trust of the commander-in-chief who was like an old fox just by relying on his performance on Lafite Star, but it was extremely difficult. Tang Lang, the liaison officer, was his first test.
Fortunately, Shen Chengfeng was smart enough, and he didn't misjudge this person.
As for why Changsun Hong trusted him so much, Tang Lang asked himself, as if there was only one possibility.
