Ulhae Naval Base.

“0m0...... Whew......"

The dragon-shaped Xiu Xue opened her terrifying mouth, revealing her double sharp teeth like a strange shape, and bit the golden cake in one bite.

Box ...... Click...... Frame...... Click......"

With a harsh sound of metal grinding, the round gold cake was bitten off a large piece by the extremely hard outer cracked teeth......

“^~^...... "Under the action ......of powerful occlusal muscles, the gold is shattered into fine chips by the sharp inner grinding teeth.

Xiu Xue squinted her eyes pleasantly, enjoying the silky taste of the gold dust sliding between her lips and teeth, as well as the unique sweet taste. The trident-like tail happily flapped the ground, and the granite floor was smashed into stone chips, and the otherwise smooth surface became potholes in the blink of an eye.

"Good just ......" After the twelve-kilogram gold cake disappeared into the mouth of the blood basin, Xiu Xue praised it.

Then, ten kilograms of silver cakes, copper cakes, platinum cakes, chrome-vanadium powder and cinnabar pressed "biscuits...... was swallowed like a cracker by Xiu Xue one after another. Then there were hundreds of colorful gemstone roughs, which she chewed like rock candy.

Xiu Xue ate deliciously, but Su Lei next to him felt cramps in his heart and cried blood in his wallet.

"I finally know now why the legendary dragon likes gold, silver and gemstones, it turns out that they really eat it............"

He couldn't help but think of several web novels he had read on Earth, all of which set the formation of the Dragon Legion or the Dragon Knights.

But after seeing Xiuxue, he felt that this setting was a bit of a pitfall. Xiu Xue is still a flightless young dragon, and it can be eaten like this, if it is an adult dragon, it will still be available.

Most of those novels are set in a medieval-like setting, and with the pitiful productivity of the Middle Ages, I am afraid that they will not be able to raise a dragon. This kind of terrible consumption, even a modern top power like Great Xia in the post-industrial era, dare not say that it can afford to raise a legion.

Fortunately, this kind of precious metals and gemstones are only a small number of elements that must be added to Xiuxue, not a daily food to eat every day, otherwise Su Lei would really have to consider which top wealthy family to eat soft rice.

"Captain Su, according to our monitoring in the past few days, we found that the consumption of heavy metals by snow repair is still relatively slow, and this meal of gold can be managed for more than half a year. However, it is ......still unclear how and in what form it is stored," said a researcher in the uniform of a lieutenant of the first class, laughing.

"It's okay to manage it for half a year......" Su Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the researcher immediately added: "But this is only the current situation, we don't know much about the development of the true dragon, and it is speculated that as it ages, its food consumption will increase simultaneously." At the same time, strenuous exercise accelerates the consumption of ......"

"......" Su Lei was speechless.

I ate 12 kilograms of gold alone for this meal! I'm afraid many people have never seen so much gold in their lives.

According to the current market in Daxia, it is about 2,500 yuan per kilogram of gold, and this meal alone costs 30,000 yuan for gold!

Now Su Lei found out that he had greatly underestimated Xiuxue's food expenses before......

Fortunately, this meal is a "working meal", and it is all paid for by the army, otherwise he would really cry.

“^~^...... Click......"

Xiu Xue took out a large pile of manganese nodules from her bag and ate them like fava beans.

These manganese nodules were dug by Xiuxue himself at the bottom of the deep sea, and he didn't need money. The day before yesterday, she went around the sea again and dug up a room of manganese nodules.

"We detected it with a fluoroscopy spell that it had six stomachs in its body. There are two stomachs for the digestion of inorganic substances such as metals and gemstones, which are divided into preset stomachs and digestive stomachs...... There are also three stomachs for the digestion of organic matter, one for the digestion of sugars and fibers, one for the digestion of fats and meat, and one for the digestion of bone and hair. The last stomach seems to be dedicated to digesting specific substances, though we haven't figured out exactly what they are...... "The researcher continued.

Xiu Xue raised her head after gnawing on the manganese nodules: "After eating, Xiu Xue has to take a bath......

"Okay, the bath is ready, you go......" Su Lei said with a smile.

"Puff ......" Xiu Xue immediately ran to the pool next to her and jumped down at once.

A slightly pungent smell of sulfuric acid suddenly came.

This is a pool of dilute sulfuric acid at a concentration of 30%.

It was originally a naval shipyard, and this pond was formerly a pickling pond, which was later converted into the current "snow repair bath".

"To heat up, Xiu Xue likes hot baths!" Xiu Xue made a soft and cute sound that didn't match the appearance at all.

The staff who managed the pickling pool hurriedly ran to the switch cabinet and pulled down the electric switch, and the pickling pool began to heat, and the sulfuric acid in it boiled after ten minutes.

"=v=" Xiu Xue closed her eyes comfortably and lay down in the pool to take a bath.

Xiuxue soaked in it for more than an hour before she left the pond satisfied, and rolled in the lye pool next to it to neutralize the acid. He came out again and stood in an open field.

Immediately, a group of workers wearing protective clothing came running over with a water hose, showered it, and washed away the acid and alkali residue on its body. Then he took a special wire polishing wheel, an angle grinder, a wire brush, a file and other tools to polish her scales.

"......"

"Buzz ......"

The polishing wheels and grinding wheels splashed sparks on the snow scale armor, and if you didn't know, you might think that you were repairing some kind of weapons and equipment.

Well, in fact, the comet dragon was originally a biological weapon.

Xiu Xue likes to soak in the acid pool for two purposes, one is the need for growth, hot acid will stimulate its physical development, and replenish some sulfide. The second is the need for cleaning.

Just as barnacles grow on the bottom of a ship, dragons grow on their scales. These parasites can make her very uncomfortable, so taking a regular bath and polishing the scales is also a form of maintenance.

In addition, Xiu Xue also opened her big mouth, and a machine man took tools and dental cleaning liquid to clean her teeth and mouth.

In fact, a large part of the True Dragon Dependents is to find a cleaner for themselves.

Chen Shiyi, who came over because of curiosity, grinned: "What do I think, this is the same as maintaining a warship......"

The researcher smiled: "To be precise, it is to maintain military aircraft, and Xiuxue will be able to fly in the future......

Xiu Xue, who had finished the scale maintenance, shook her body, and some old scales that looked like sapphires and top-quality cloisonné were thrown off her body.

The workers next to him hurriedly ran to collect it and put it in a box.

"Captain Luo, Captain Zhang, squad leader Yun, then we'll go back first......" Seeing that today's work was completed, Su Lei said goodbye to everyone.

Captain Luo smiled and waved his hand: "Goodbye Captain Su, goodbye Captain Xiuxue!"

"Xiuxue sleeps ......"

Xiu Xue jumped up and quickly changed back into her human form, and the Xuan Bao also magically changed back to the appearance of a pink rabbit bag, and put it on her back. Then she threw herself on Su Lei's back again, fell on Su Lei's back like a pendant, and fell asleep in less than a minute.

This guy just wants to sleep after he finishes his maintenance.

"Luo Duwei, the weight weighed before eating today is 1,042 kilograms, an increase of 170 kilograms from last week...... The length from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail is 7450 mm, an increase of 250 mm...... "the staff reported.

Captain Luo asked, "How many scales have you collected this time?"

Squad Leader Yun, who led the team to polish the scales, took off his goggles and said, "27 scales, and one tooth." I felt like she was changing her scales faster, and I felt like the scales were getting harder this time. The corundum grinding wheel is completely unavoidable. However, the specific data needs to be further analyzed to know ......"

Squad Leader Yun was holding a glass box with a detached incision tooth in it. The teeth were like a shovel, shining like diamonds, and there was a trace of blood at the root.

"Well, this means that she has entered the high-speed growth period......" Luo Duwei nodded.

He also said: "It's a pity that this scale material can't be artificially made, otherwise...... The samples of feces, saliva, and blood collected this time were collected and sent to the headquarters as soon as possible, and several academicians were waiting for ......"

That's right, this is Xiuxue's main job in the system - to be studied, and her establishment is an assistant researcher. However, it is now limited to more conventional tests, and there are also wool, no, dragon scales and dragon teeth.

............

The naval base was not far from Mangyu Village, and Su Lei and his team returned soon in the army's car, and Su Lei got out of the car before arriving at a house at the entrance of the village.

This house is the kind of multi-storey villa with a yard that is common in the new countryside, and a new brass signboard has been hung at the entrance of the house at this time.

It is written in red letters: "Mangyu High-tech Development Service Co., Ltd. Technology Development Department".

That's right, the company's technical department is located here, and the rent, water and electricity in Mangyu Village are cheap.

The owner of this room had moved to Songhai in the south, and rarely came back here, so Su Lei contacted the other party through the old village chief and signed a three-year lease agreement.

There are three container trucks parked in front of the door, and more than a dozen workers are moving things to the villa.

"Boss......" Ye Huanmeng, who was commanding at the door, saw Su Lei and immediately came over to greet him.

"Minister Ye, how is this batch of equipment......

Ye Huanmeng replied: "Four have been installed, and after preliminary testing, the performance is quite good, and it is about the same as the new machine." The college is very well maintained......"

"That's good, this batch of machines is considered to have taken advantage of the academy, and this favor will have a chance to be repaid in the future," Su Lei blushed a little when he thought of the price ......of scrap iron.

The price quoted by the college to him was 500 yuan per unit, which was not even a fraction of the price for a mainframe. It's like selling it as scrap metal, and others help with transportation and installation.

Su Lei went in to look at it for a while, talked to the employees about how to install it, and didn't go home until the nine mainframes were installed.

"The creature created by the boss himself, you can come out......" Ye Huanmeng said to a machine.

The machine was not even connected to the power supply, but at this time it turned on automatically, and a line of words appeared on the screen.

"Dear Lord, what shall I call you?"
