Chapter 254: Devouring Metal

After leaving the conference room and walking forward for about three minutes, a huge steel gate stood horizontally in front of Zhou Yulong. On the iron-gray gate are clearly written in white spray paint - smelting and processing area.

"This place was originally the largest steel processing plant in Changde City, and there were countless steels in it, even if we used a lot of it when we built the steel fortress, but the leftovers, I think it was enough for you to eat." Walking to the front of the iron gate, Liao Xuebing gently pressed a button on the gate.

As soon as the switch was activated, the rusty steel gates began to open slowly. With a burst of violent noise caused by the friction of metal, a strong heat wave rushed towards Zhou Yulong.

"It's so hot!" The intense heat wave made Zhou Yulong couldn't help but squint his eyes, and then carefully studied the scene behind the gate.

Fiery, this is Zhou Yulong's first feeling when he looks at the past. Rows of steel furnaces lined up on both sides of the avenue were blazing, and viscous and hot iron was constantly flowing from them. The intense firelight and the splashing sparks made Zhou Yulong slow down, if he was accidentally sprayed by this magma-like iron juice, it was no fun.

"How's that, when you see so much metal, do you feel?" Looking at Zhou Yulong's stunned appearance, Liao Xuebing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to senior brother, eat as much as you can, and be full." ”

"I don't know why, I don't have an appetite to see these" Looking at the pieces of steel piled on the ground reflecting the firelight, Zhou Yulong shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said: "There is no hunger and thirst I felt when I saw Miao Zubao's knife and the doctor's scalpel. ”

"And this?" Liao Xuebing was stunned for a moment, then picked up a fist-sized piece of steel scrap at any time and handed it to Zhou Yulong, saying, "You can barely try it and see if it helps." ”

"Oh" Zhou Yulong frowned, reluctantly put the steel in his mouth, and bit it gently. As the upper and lower rows of his teeth closed, the hard steel was once again bitten into pieces like a biscuit.

"Phew, cough, cough, it's so unpalatable!" After chewing a few times, Zhou Yulong vigorously spit out the steel that had been shattered into powder from his mouth, and said with a disgusted face: "It's like eating a pile of raw and cold soil, and I'm sick to death." ”

"How so? Does steel smell too? Looking at Zhou Yulong's tongue sticking out again and again, Liao Xuebing frowned tightly and said, "How did you feel when you ate the scalpel and Miao Zubao knife?" Isn't it different from this? ”

"Of course it's different" Zhou Yulong shook his head vigorously, and then said with a longing on his face: "The taste of Miao Zu's treasure knife is like rich chocolate, and after eating it, my whole body is warm and sweet." The alloy scalpel tastes like cheesecake, sweet, soft, and very comfortable to eat. Moreover, after eating the scalpel and Miao Zubao knife, I will feel a strong energy infused into my whole body, and I feel very full and full. And this one, nothing. With that, Zhou Yulong threw the remaining half of the steel in his hand to the ground, his face full of frustration.

"This is strange," Liao Xuebing touched his head and groaned with doubts on his face. After a moment, he turned his gaze to the deepest part of the smelter, and then pulled Zhou Yulong inside: "Follow me, maybe you will have an appetite when you see this." ”

"Hopefully, if we really can't help it, we can only accept our fate." Following behind Liao Xuebing, Zhou Yulong shrugged his shoulders, his face full of disapproval.

After traveling about 500 meters, Liao Xuebing stopped in front of a silver furnace with a novel shape. Then he opened a huge iron box next to him, pointed to the rows of silver-white metal inside, and said with an expectant face: "Look at this, are you interested?" ”

Inside the box, the silver alloy that recognized the length of the arm shimmered with a dazzling and textured silver glow under the light of the burning flaming lava everywhere.

"yes, that's how it feels!" From the first sight of the silver-white alloy, the strong sense of hunger and thirst in Zhou Yulong's heart resurfaced again. He nodded quickly, reached out and took out a piece of alloy from the box, put it in his mouth and chewed it heavily.

"Scratch Scratch!"

With a crisp sound similar to ice being chewed, the arm-sized silver-white alloy was devoured by Zhou Yulong in the blink of an eye.

"Senior brother, what kind of metal is this, although the taste is not as good as the Miao Zubao knife, but the taste is much better than those alloy scalpels of the doctor. And I feel like my abilities have increased a lot with this metal belly. Wiping the metal powder from the corner of his mouth, Zhou Yulong took out an alloy from the box again, and asked while eating.

"You, you can really pick up good food" Liao Xuebing watched Zhou Yulong devour the second silver metal like a wolf, and said with a wry smile: "This is a national special steel, powder high-speed steel." This kind of steel has high hardness, high toughness and high wear resistance that are not found in general steels. Don't look at it so small in front of you, this is almost half a year's production volume of the entire factory. ”

"Ah, so little, isn't it gone after eating?" Hearing Liao Xuebing's words, Zhou Yulong quickly slowed down the speed of swallowing and began to eat little by little. This kind of steel is a rare delicacy for him, and of course he has to save some food.

"In addition to this box, there is also a box of stock in the warehouse. If you still want it after eating, you have to use the remaining raw ore from the factory to process it. Looking at Zhou Yulong's unfinished appearance, Liao Xuebing shook his head and said softly: "And the equipment required to produce this kind of steel is of a very high standard. According to the surviving old employees here, in addition to our steel plant, I am afraid that there will be no second factory in Changde that can produce this kind of powdered high-speed steel. ”

"Dizzy, I finally got a metal-devouring ability, and I didn't expect his grandmother to be a picky eater." Zhou Yulong gritted his teeth with hatred, and completely devoured the powder high-speed steel in his hand in one bite. Then he raised his right hand high, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Let's see, after eating these treasures, there is any change in my ability." ”

As Zhou Yulong's words fell, his raised right fist began to emit a brilliant blue-gold light slightly. Gradually, the blue mang became more and more prosperous, and began to spread down his right fist. A few seconds later, Zhou Yulong's right arm, including his shoulder, turned into liquid silvery-white metal.

"Condensation!" When the liquefaction range stayed at the bottom of his right shoulder, Zhou Yulong suddenly opened his eyes, and shook his right hand vigorously while shouting. In the blink of an eye, his liquid right arm began to condense rapidly. A metal war spear about two meters long and as thick as a child's arm appeared where Zhou Yulong's original right hand was.
