Chapter 350: Superconducting Mine
Xin Silence buried in his heart the things that the Floating Mountain could improve the efficiency of cultivation, and remained silent, concentrating his telepathy into a small area under his feet, and soon made a new discovery.
"Huh? What kind of material is this? ”
He let out a soft sigh, and a straight purple light shot out from his eyes, hitting the ground under his feet, and the heat burst out, piercing the shallow surface in a matter of seconds, leaving a deep pit several meters in diameter.
Constance and the interstellar warriors were attracted by the silence and looked into the pit, where they found that there was pitch black underneath the pit. This is obviously not ordinary geology, neither soil nor rock.
Xin Xiao raised his hand slightly, and a black substance flew up from the pit, levitating in front of everyone.
The first impression of this material is that of some kind of metal, which looks hard, somewhat similar to iron ore, and if you look closely, you can see that it is speckled silver-gray, and the structure is very strange. People lock armor detectors onto minerals and scan them for immediate results.
"Superconductors!"
The interstellar generals exclaimed in surprise: "This is a room temperature superconducting mineral!" ”
Xin Lin nodded slightly, he didn't need to detect the light, he just looked at it with the naked eye to know that this was a superconducting mine. In his eyes, this black and silver metal mineral is "completely diamagnetic", and his own magnet net is extremely resistant, and it is difficult for magnetic field lines to invade it.
If it weren't for the lack of purity, the impurities contained inside could allow the magnetic net to borrow power, and he wouldn't even be able to make it fly through telekinesis.
This "complete diamagnetism" is a unique feature of superconductors because their internal resistance is zero, and the magnetic force is repelled from it, so that the effect of electromagnetic forces is reduced to a minimum.
It can be said that superconductors are the most hated substances for electromagnetists, and there is no one!
However, in the interstellar age, room temperature superconductors are very important industrial materials, and commercial, transportation, military and electronic products are inseparable from the use of superconductors. There are many types of superconductors, and there are more than a dozen common ones in the Federation, the most widely used of which is metallic hydrogen, which can be mined on many gas giants like Jupiter.
Superconductors are so important, in high demand, not easy to mine, and expensive to manufacture, that they are still considered a relatively rare resource.
Everyone looked at the black and silver ore at the bottom of the pit, and their eyes were a little hot.
Xin Lin motioned for the interstellar generals to retreat a little, the electromagnetic field of the brain domain and the sea of stars rotated, and the ten thousand magnetic nets gathered in the pit to roll up hundreds of tons of soil and rock layers, tearing open a layer of surface, and suddenly revealing a piece of black geology of dozens of square meters!
Seeing this black and silver geology, stretching into the ground for an unknown amount of depth, everyone was shocked.
"Oh my God, it's all superconductors!" There are interstellar warlords who can't help but exclaim.
"How much is such a large mineral deposit worth?"
Even before landing, they had guessed that the reason why the peak of Xuanhuang Star could be suspended was because it contained superconducting minerals, but no one thought that the superconducting mineral content of the floating mountain was so high, it was incredible!
The diameter of this floating mountain is more than 3,000 meters, and the mass is expected to exceed 50 billion tons, if it is composed of superconducting minerals, all of them are mined, even if there is one percent of the minerals left after refining, there are 5 billion tons of superconductors, which is enough to provide the industrial needs of the Federation for a whole year!
Moreover, it is said that there are more than 1,000 floating mountains in Xuanhuangxing, and the cost and difficulty of mining are much lower than that of Jupiter, and the value of them is incalculable!
These floating mountains are comparable to mountains of gold.
All of a sudden, the star's breathing became rapid, and even Constance couldn't suppress some excitement.
According to the Federation's Star Frontier Law, both discoverers and those who have made meritorious contributions in the process of conquest are eligible to receive a portion of the benefits of the colonized planet. Even if they are all soldiers and are ordered to carry out tasks, they can get a piece of the pie.
In the future, the Federation will mine the superconducting ore of Xuanhuang Star, and the interstellar warlords present will receive a lot of rewards.
In other words, as long as the Federation conquers Xuanhuang Star, everyone will be rich!
Xin Lin had other ideas.
The biggest effect of the Floating Sky Mountain is to speed up the cultivation speed and increase the chances of ordinary people becoming Force warriors, compared to the value of the superconductor itself, which is not so important.
Superconductors are not irreplaceable, there are many on Jupiter, almost inexhaustible, but the mining cost is slightly higher, if the superconducting minerals are destroyed for the sake of these superconducting minerals, it is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs.
What the Federation should really pay attention to is to study the formation principle of the floating mountain, find out the reason why the strange magnetic field affects the activity of vacuum energy, and try to see if it can complicate the environment of the Xuanhuang Star so that the cultivation of all citizens of the Federation can benefit.
However, Xin Lin also knew that Xuanhuang Xing's cultivation conditions might be difficult to replicate.
He speculated that the formation of these floating mountains and strange magnetic fields was not entirely due to the superconducting minerals in the floating mountains, but also the geological core of Xuanhuang Star. If this is the case, even if the Federation builds a floating mountain with billions of tons of superconductors, it will not be possible to achieve the same cultivation effect as Xuanhuang Star.
Regardless of whether these speculations are correct or not, in short, they can't mine the Floating Sky Mountain and destroy such a rare cultivation holy land!
Xin Xiao thought about it, and the ten thousand magnetic net rolled up the soil and rock layer again, this time instead of opening it, but re-burying the big pit to prevent superconducting minerals from being exposed, and only a small piece of mineral was collected into subspace, ready to be handed over to experts to study after going back.
The starfighters understood what he was doing and didn't say anything.
"Rest in place for half an hour."
Constance gave an order, and since he landed, he first eliminated the steel-maned orcs, and then went straight to the Bloodfury tribe non-stop, and the interstellar generals have not repaired properly.
Although everyone has the Force cultivation at the level of a military general, their physical strength is strong, and they can go without eating or drinking for ten days and a half months, they are not martial saints after all, and they still need proper rest to recover their strength, and their armor must also be maintained.
Xin Lin and Constance are both martial saints, and their cultivation far exceeds that of military generals, and they don't need to rest.
Constance looked at the time and said, "Xin Shi, take out the quantum repeater, maybe you can receive the signal." ”
"Okay." Xin Xiao asked Ao Qing to take out the quantum interrupter and start the signal search.
However, just like last time, the repeater was silent after waiting for a long time. Constance looked worried, according to this situation, those interstellar generals and scientific researchers who landed in front of him should have been wiped out.
Half an hour passed, Constance sighed, and was about to ask Xin Silence to put away the quantum repeater, when suddenly a prompt sounded that there was a communication terminal produced by the Federation accessed.
A vague holographic influence was projected, and he said in a staccato voice, "Hey...... Feed...... That's great! Connected...... Did anyone hear that? ”
Constance perked up, turned the signal to his armor screen, and hurriedly said: "I am Constance of the Sword of the Sky, which one are you?" ”
"Deputy Commander!" The figure on the opposite side shook and said in ecstasy: "I am Mo Yuanhong of the first battalion of blue wolf squads. Deputy Commander, there are powerful indigenous races on Xuanhuang Star, as well as masters of the Martial Saint level, we were first attacked by energy creatures, with heavy casualties, and then encountered indigenous powerhouses, only I escaped, and the other team members were captured by them. ”
A master at the level of a martial saint?
Constance snorted coldly, and immediately understood that the other party should be talking about the flying warrior of the Shankui clan. She didn't panic, and asked calmly, "Is your safety guaranteed now?" Where is the location? ”
Mo Yuanhong replied in a low voice: "They have been chasing me for half a month, and they have fled far away, and there is no danger to their lives for the time being." The indigenous tribe that attacked us was not far from the landing site, and I sent the map I had collected. ”
Soon, a holographic map was transmitted to everyone through a quantum repeater, and the distance was measured through the signal, and Mo Yuanhong was located 33,000 kilometers away, almost in the other hemisphere of Xuanhuang Star.
Constance did not hesitate, asked Mo Yuanhong not to act rashly, and decided to rescue the captured team first.
"Xin Lone, do you want to come with us?" She asked.
According to the original plan, Xin Lin had to act alone after landing, and he was not responsible for saving people.
Xin Xiao thought for a few breaths, nodded and said, "I'll walk with you, at such a long distance, it is very likely that you will encounter energy creatures, and you may not be able to cope with it." "Aside from him, others don't know that those energy creatures are the spirits of magnetic fields, but they have some guesses that they have something to do with magnetic fields.
If he encounters the spirit of the magnetic field, he will find an opportunity to communicate with the other party, and maybe solve it by the way.
Constance was grateful, she had seen the horror of energy creatures, and without the powerful help of Xin Lone, she really didn't have the confidence to face it.
"Let's go!" Without any further delay, the group immediately started the armored engine and flew away from the floating mountain, descending from a high altitude and flying rapidly in mid-air 300 meters above the ground.
