The solar system, the asteroid belt.

Ten galactic mining spaceships are shuttling through the asteroid belt.

At present, Xiao Jun's space mining industry is still mainly based on the mining of gold, platinum, silver, jadeite, diamonds, jade and other precious mineral resources. After all, these are the best ways to make money. It's also the one that can make the most money.

You think, for example, if you pull 100 tons of rare earths back, it is not as much money as you can pull 100 kilograms of gold ore.

Anyway, now Xiao Jun's Galaxy Space Mining Company is not just space mining.

It also has a series of industrial chains.

For example, gold shops, jewelry stores, jade and jade shops, and various wholesale companies.

Since you can bring back so many rare and precious metals and minerals from space, why do you need to sell them all to others? You can also set up your own jewelry stores, or even auction houses.

Anyway, Xiao Jun's Galaxy Auction House often auctions some rare things.

For example, a 100-carat diamond, a 200-carat diamond. Dog's head gold in a variety of grinding disc sizes. Rough jadeite ...... the size of a grinding disc Wait a minute......

"Ding-dong...... 3 kilometers ahead, at 7 o'clock, the metal element has been detected, do you want to mine it?" the space-mining spacecraft No. 2 uploaded the news to the Galactic Steward. At present, the detection technology of these space mining spacecraft has been replaced by Xiao Jun. It's more advanced than the original. This technique was the one he got from Bulma in the first place. After some improvements, it was installed in ten of its own space mining ships.

"Go and check it out, and if you can mine it, mine it back. The Galactic Steward gave the order.

Soon, the news was transmitted back to Xiao Jun.

"Oh, the discovery of an unknown metal element?" Xiao Jun was slightly surprised.

Unknown metal elements, that is, metal elements that the earth does not have.

However, we will not know what this metal element is until we dig it up and see it.

Although it is a new element metal, Xiao Jun does not know how much heat resistance, corrosion resistance, strength and hardness are there.

It is also machinable and can be combined with other metal elements.

These need Xiao Jun to conduct experiments in person to know.

A week later, all ten ships were back.

And also brought back a cabin of raw ore of unknown metal.

"Let people send these metals to our steel production base, and I plan to test it with the electric arc furnace of the steel base. Xiao Jun said lightly.

A phone call passed, and a convoy immediately sent the ore to the steel production base.

Xiao Jun's steel electric arc furnace can reach a high temperature of 8000°.

In front of the electric arc furnace, there were only ten staff, and then there was Xiao Jun.

On the ground, there is a pile of ore.

These ores are large and small, the big ones are the size of a grinding disc, the small ones are scattered, and the size of the thumb is also there.

They are irregular in shape.

In terms of color, there are three main colors, first, dark gold, second, dark black, and third, gray.

Of course, there are more than just metals in these ores.

In fact, there are seven or eight metallic elements in these ores, as well as rocks, slag and other mixtures.

Unknown metallic elements are just associated within.

"Throw it in and put it to trial. Xiao Jun instructed the workers.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao. ”

The electric arc furnace was turned on, and everyone threw all the ore into it.

"First do 5000° combustion heating!" Xiao Jun said lightly.

Rumble......

The entire EAF began to heat up rapidly.

All of a sudden, the temperature of the entire electric arc furnace is rising!

Soon, the rough ore turned red.

"Remove impurities!"

Bang bang bang!

The machine began to pound the backlog.

Soon, the rocks, slag, and other things mixed in the ore fell one after another.

"Raise it to 6000°!"

Soon, many other metal elements were melted and dropped by the heat.

It didn't take long for most of the rocks, dirt, and other metals to fall inside. There is only one color of metal left.

These metals are very hard, and they are not deformed in the slightest under the pressure of heavy machines.

They were dark golden, and they weren't burned red!

"What's going on? These are the metals?" Xiao Jun frowned slightly.

Under the burning of 6000°C, it has been 20 minutes, and even the color has not changed.

In other words, the high temperature resistance of these metals must exceed 6000°!

"Turn on to the highest temperature, 8000°!" Xiao Jun said in a deep voice.

He was very happy to see the result. After all, the better the high temperature resistance, the better the hardness, and it is the best material for him.

The more qualified it is for the manufacture of energy absorbers!

Soon, twenty minutes of high temperature of 8000° also passed. The dark golden metal ore still showed no signs of melting, not even red.

"Shhh...... It's terrifying! It's so heat-resistant, it's 8,000 degrees!" said a staff member in shock.

"yes, I've never seen a metal ...... that is resistant to high temperatures like this."

"Mr. Xiao, what now?" asked a man.

"Burn for another half hour. ”

Half an hour passed.

There is still no sign of melting.

"Take it out. Xiao Jun said lightly, but there was excitement in his eyes.

Perhaps this unknown metal can be used as a raw material for energy-absorbing devices!

After taking it out, it was still dark gold when it cooled.

Since many of the other impurities in the ore have been removed, the remaining unknown metal ore has taken on a variety of strange shapes.

"The Earth has never seen this metal, and it has been found in the asteroid belt, and this metal is not found on other planets in the solar system, or it has been transmitted to the solar system from the Milky Way or even other galaxies. Xiao Jun said secretly in his heart.

After all, there are some meteorites that drift in the universe.

"I'm going to give it a name now, it can't be called an unknown metal all the time. ”

"Dark gold, high strength, high temperature resistance, and high density. ”

"Let's call it Secret Gold Metal. Xiao Jun thought for a moment.

At this moment, what is the upper limit of its high temperature resistance, its strength, flexibility, corrosion resistance, etc., still need to be tested by Xiao Jun.

"Pack them all up and transport them to the Galaxy Research Building over there in Wucheng. Xiao Jun commanded.

The high temperature resistance of the gold metal must have exceeded 10,000 degrees Celsius, or even higher, so he planned to make an electric arc furnace himself to melt them.

The large electric arc furnace 8000° here simply does not meet his requirements!

So I developed and manufactured a small electric arc furnace by myself, but the temperature had to be super high!
