"You're Fang Yaoyao's cousin, right?! Do you remember me, we had dinner together on May Day last year! The female survivor saw Ye Fan, stared at it a few times, and then said with joy.

"Oh, I remembered...... You're Yaoyao's roommate! As soon as the other party said this, Ye Fan, who had already felt familiar, immediately remembered.

"Yes, yes, I'm Ma Xiaoyan, it's so good to see you!"

"I am her boyfriend, named Zhou Haoyuan, a doctoral student majoring in non-ferrous metals at Central South University." The boy on the side introduced himself.

They were obviously a little suspicious, after all, they knew that Ye Fan was an evolutionary, and it was naturally a good thing to be able to follow up with the transformer and make friends.

"Hello, hello, I'm Ye Fan." Ye Fan didn't put up any scores, and said very politely, "These two are my companions, Nie Qian, and Qiao Yunyun." ”

"Hello."

"I'm glad I will."

After some politeness between the two sides, Ye Fan cut to the chase and said, "Do you know where my cousin is now?" ”

Zhou Haoyuan replied: "The details are not clear, but after the disaster, we have been in the same team for a long time, at first we escaped from the school and hid in Yuelu Mountain, but unfortunately later a group of alien beasts broke in, we were forced to transfer, at that time we sent a disagreement, some people think that only the big base is safer, so they are ready to go to the nearest large base Lushan base, but we and some other people think that this is too far away, the risk is too great, and they are unwilling to go, so we parted ways and they left." We stayed, maybe they were right, because we had more than twenty people left, and now only four of them have survived, thanks to the rescue of Chief Lin and taking us in. Speaking of this, his expression became a little complicated, bitter and happy. In other words, my cousin may be at the Lushan base now? Ye Fan said with a happy face.

"Well, it should be, as long as nothing happens." Zhou Haoyuan nodded, but he didn't think so, in the last days, the probability of an accident is much greater than the probability of not having an accident.

"That's great, we happen to be going to the Lushan base too." Ye Fan said with a smile.

In fact, this is not a coincidence, but inevitable, because Ye Fan and his cousin's home are in Jiangsu Province, if possible, they must want to go home, but unfortunately the situation is too bad now to go back at all, so they have to retreat to the second, ready to go to the Lushan base, which is closer to their hometown, and hope to find a chance to go home there.

"Then we will congratulate you on finding your cousin earlier." Ma Xiaoyan said.

"Thank you, I've made a note of this favor too." Ye Fan sincerely thanked him, walked up to Lin Shenhe again, and thanked him again.

"Brother Ye, are you really planning to go to the Lushan base? In fact, the big base may not be as beautiful as imagined, not to mention the dangerous road, the forces of all parties are complicated, once the balance is lost, the consequences can be imagined. Lin Shenhe finally showed his fox tail.

He didn't say it completely, so if the other party refused, it would be a little embarrassing.

"I understand Brother Lin's intentions, but I won't tell you, if you had spoken before, I might have been a little hesitant, but now that I know that my cousin may be at the Lushan base, I can't help but go." Ye Fan pretended to be embarrassed, but in fact, he didn't plan to stay here at all.

Lin Shenhe glanced at Nie Qian and Qiao Yunyun again, and the second daughter also shook her head.

"Alas, it's a pity. The twisted melon is not sweet, and since you have made up your mind, I can't force you to keep it. ”

"Brother Lin is reasonable, which is really admirable." Ye Fan did not hesitate to appreciate, anyway, compliments can't be sold for money.

Lin Shenhe could naturally distinguish the weight of sincerity, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to compliment, in fact, I also have a small favor to ask Brother Ye for help." ”

"What's the busy?" Ye Fan asked with some vigilance. Xindao This guy is really unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and when he saw that he couldn't win over, he immediately changed to plan B, and wanted to cash out this favor on the spot.

"I want you and your companions to assist Brother Wang in escorting a person to the Lushan base." Forest deep river channel.

The "Brother Wang" in his mouth, Ye Fan had already known at the banquet before, was a middle-aged man named Wang Qinian, and he was also the strength talent evolutionary mentioned earlier.

Ye Fan immediately frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is inconvenient......"

Lin Shenhe said: "Don't worry, wait until I finish speaking, this matter is indeed a little difficult for you, I was embarrassed to say it, but I heard that you are also going to the Lushan base, and our evolutionary is really not enough, we can't send too many escorts, so I have to beg for shame, but I won't let you help in vain, the material vehicles needless to say, I will also give you some gold and silver, you also know, now the paper money has completely failed, only precious metals such as gold and silver still have purchasing power, When you go to the Lushan base, there must be a place to use it, and I believe that even after you arrive at the Lushan base, it will be difficult to find your cousin in the huge base by yourself, and I can ask the military of the Lushan base to help you find it. ”

Ye Fan was a little surprised: "I didn't expect Brother Lin to have such skills, do you have an acquaintance in the base who can speak?" The wording is exclamation, but the tone is skeptical.

Lin Shenhe saw Ye Fan's suspicions, and said with a smile: "Of course not now, but it will be soon, I know you don't believe it, but I can tell you that as long as you and Brother Wang successfully send that person to the Lushan base, I have a way to get them to help you with this." ”

"Have you been able to contact the Lushan base? Is there a wireless telegraph here? Ye Fan asked.

"That's right, there are a lot of engineering students in the base, and it's not difficult to make a telegraph by yourself." Forest deep river channel.

Ye Fan nodded, and asked again: "Can you tell me, who is it that you want me to help escort?" ”

Lin Shenhe pointed to Zhou Haoyuan: "His doctoral supervisor, Professor Tang Bowen of Central South University, is an authority on non-ferrous metal research in China. ”

People who know a little about the non-ferrous metal industry know that Hunan Province is the province with the most abundant non-ferrous metal resources in China.

It's a pity that Ye Fan doesn't know anything about this industry, and he has never heard of Professor Tang Bowen's name.

He was confused and said: "I don't understand what you mean at all, listen to your tone, as if this Professor Tang is very important to the Lushan base?" ”

If he is an authoritative professor of biology, he can still understand that after all, studying gene seeds and solving the mystery of evolution is the goal that all major bases are striving for, and to achieve this goal, biological talents are very important.

But what is the use of a guy who studies non-ferrous metals, no matter how authoritative he is?

"Is it because of the dark metal?" Nie Qian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Clever!" Lin Shenhe applauded, "It's because of the dark metal. ”

Ye Fan suddenly realized.

This new term for dark metal, which came from the base broadcast, refers to certain substances extracted from the corpses of alien beasts, the appearance of these substances is very similar to the metal on the earth, with metallic luster, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and good extension, but when scientists tried to observe their atomic structure with a super microscope, they found nothing! After using other methods, they could not get results, so they concluded that this was a matter that completely contradicted existing science, and that they were new substances outside the periodic table!

In the process, they also discover a major peculiarity of the Dark Metals: their special ability to store Ability Seeds! And as soon as it is activated, it can be released!

This discovery immediately gave the dark metal a huge strategic value, and the dark metal weapon also came into being.

Darkmetal weapons use the special surname of Darkmetal to store the power of the ability in it, so that the wielder has the ability to release the ability!

Don't think that this only makes sense for the Filipino Ability, in fact, it also means a lot to the Ability.

Because the ability is limited by the level of the gene seed and its own computing power, the ability to use the release of the ability seed at the moment of battle is limited.

And with a Dark Metal weapon that can store abilities, stored abilities can be stacked and released, making them even more powerful!

For example, Lin Shenhe can use [Frozen Seed] to fill a dark metal sword with freezing power, and anyone who takes this sword can release several freezing abilities, and if Lin Shenhe uses it himself, then the power of his ability will be greatly increased, for example, the amount of ice he releases in one second is ten cubic meters, and after using this sword, it may reach fifteen cubic meters! That's a 50% increase in power!

Therefore, the dark metal weapon is now a priceless treasure, whether it is an anomaly or a non-anomaly, they all want to be able to have one!

It's a pity that the refining method of the dark metal is still under development, and the major bases basically have their own set of absolutely secret refining methods, but without exception, all of them are very inefficient, not only the speed is slow, the output is low, the quality is not good, and the supply exceeds the demand at all, only a very small number of powerful people have one or two experimental production of the dark metal weapons.

"Could it be that Professor Tang has developed an efficient method for refining dark metals?" Ye Fan was naturally not stupid, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought about the general situation clearly, and asked with some shock.

"I can't say it's efficient, but it's definitely a little bit more advanced than most bases' refining methods. Let's put it this way, a one-ton first-class alien beast corpse, the Lushan base can only refine 1.2 grams of black copper metal, with a purity of only 63%, but Professor Tang can refine 2.8 grams, and the purity reaches 75%. Lin Shenhe said with a smile.

Ye Fan and the others were shocked when they heard this, Professor Tang's refining method was twice that of the Lushan base, and the purity of the refined dark metal was even higher! You know, the purity of the dark metal directly affects the efficiency of the ability storage!

"Now I don't understand even more, since Professor Tang has such a magical refining method, I believe you must understand the huge strategic value, but why don't you use it yourself, but instead send it to the Lushan base?!"

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!" Lin Shenhe sighed.
