The Wolongshan Foreign Affairs Department is located on the second floor of the Wolongshan Central Administration Building, in an office with an area of no more than 30 square meters.

Tang Mianhua is Chinese New Year's Eve five today, and before he crossed over, he was the director of a street office in the Demon Capital of the Heavenly Dynasty, because he was middle-aged and because of the people's servants, this product seemed to be a little blessed, and what he was best at on weekdays was to resolve the contradictions between neighbors, and he had a good relationship, and he was a minority of officialdom in the crowd. Now that the base has just been established, many things need to be managed, and there is a shortage of manpower, so he has assumed the position of the nominal fat messenger of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Although the external department has always been a good place to make money since ancient times, because of the location of the base, there has been no communication with foreign forces, and naturally there is no external thing to deal with, so Tang Mianhua is also very idle, receiving 200 'dollars' from the internal circulation of the base every month, and he doesn't do anything, at most he reconciles the small contradictions in the living area of the kobold and the cat people, and sits and drinks tea when he has nothing to do, and finds his subordinates to have two games of chess, and he has a good life.

But today, this one's idle life has been shattered.

Early in the morning, while our foreign minister was munching on fried dough sticks and drinking synthetic soy milk in his office, there was a knock on his door.

"What the hell, Cheetora, go open the door. "As a servant of the people who has inherited the tradition of officials of the Celestial Empire, this subordinate who did not even want to start commanding himself, after all, a great man said: As a good official, he will never bow down to anything that can command others to do for him. "Yes. Chetila reluctantly put back the fritters that had been put to his mouth, stood up, and slowly moved to the door, saying that since Chetila, the little Zhengtai, was rescued from the auction hall by the traverser, because he had no specialty, so he followed Tang Mianhua, the strange uncle, and since then, he has started a dark career as a civil servant, and Cheetor was stupid on the spot: "Yan, Brother Yan, why did you come here?"

Seeing Cheetile's appearance, Yan Xiaosong deliberately teased him, so he deliberately lowered his face: "What, I am not welcome?"

"Oh, how dare you, please come in, please come in. Only then did Chetila react, and hurriedly welcomed Yan Xiaosong in, and when he saw Iphilil behind him, he looked at Yan Xiaosong with an inquiring gaze.

"This young lady is the party today, let her in. ”

That's when Cheetor let Ifilil in.

"Yo, our Minister Tang's little days are really leisurely, gnawing fritters and drinking soy milk, what a good day, not bad. Yan Xiaosong saw Tang Mianhua who was still struggling with breakfast at a glance, and hurriedly transferred the firepower of ridicule to this person.

Tang Mianhua waved his hand, put down the fritters, and wiped his hands with a napkin: "Hehe, Xiao Yan, don't make fun of me, say, what's the matter?"

Yan Xiaosong rolled his eyes, the person in front of him had a really good memory, and he hurriedly reminded: "What I said yesterday, those gray knights." ”

"Oh, oh, remember, it's this, Cheltore, go get your things ready, get ready to take notes. Tang Mianhua slapped his head, hurriedly put aside the food on the table that had not been wiped out, and then began to command the little civil servant Chetille.

"Don't be in a hurry, the people haven't arrived yet. Yan Xiaosong motioned to Tang Mianhua and wait, and then the whole person sat on the sofa on the side, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, while Iphilil stood beside him, with a pestle and sword in both hands, and his eyes looked straight ahead, posing as a knight.

Time passed slowly, and soon, the gray knights brought by others also arrived one after another.

"Okay, Minister Tang, I'll leave it to you, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yan Xiaosong stopped being verbose, got up and walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Tang Mianhua looked at a room of gray knights sitting or standing in suits and dresses but with long hair, and clapped his hands: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, since you have arrived, then our work can begin, Cheetora, prepare." Chetila, who had already prepared pen and paper and was ready to write, nodded hurriedly. "It's our job, and I hope you can cooperate and try to say everything you know, rest assured, it won't affect anything. Tang Mianhua continued.

Seeing that no one objected, Tang Mianhua sat on the chair and picked up an A4 paper with countless questions: "I think, we can start"

Half an hour later, Tang Mianhua smiled and sent the last gray knight out of the office, and then prepared to go out.

"I said Cheetto, take care of all this, and give it to me when it's done, remember to hurry. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he turned back and reminded.

"Yes. Xiao Ku* civil servant Qi Duole nodded with a bitter face, watching Tang Mianhua's figure disappear at the door, he shook off the pen in his hand, rubbed his sore knuckles, and grimaced at the door: "Skinning King Vampire!"

On the southwest side of the east gate of the base, the scientific research building, which is responsible for research and development and light factory, is a huge factory building.

"How's it going?" asked a young man in a white lab coat, with some eagerness.

Dai Bo, who just turned 21 years old this year, was an intern of North Industries before the crossing, specializing in the manufacture of armored vehicle engines, after the establishment of the base, in order to continue the construction in the later stage, he and several other people who are better at the field of engines were sent to the light factory, specifically responsible for the production of engines.

He shook his head at a person across from him: "It's not clear, after all, the first transformation is not so easy." ”

Silicon: The old name for the chemical element "silicon". Its chemical symbol is SI, formerly known as 'silicon'. The atomic number is 14, the relative atomic mass is 28.09, there are two kinds of allotropes, amorphous and crystalline, and the allotropes have amorphous silicon and crystalline silicon. A metalloid-like element belonging to group IVA on the periodic table. Crystalline silicon is steel gray, amorphous silicon is black, density 2.4g/cm3, melting point 1420 °C, boiling point 2355 °C, crystalline silicon belongs to atomic crystals, hard and shiny, with semiconductor properties. The chemical properties of silicon are relatively active, it can be combined with oxygen and other elements at high temperatures, insoluble in water, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, soluble in hydrofluoric acid and lye, used to make alloys such as ferrosilicon, silicon steel, etc., monocrystalline silicon is an important semiconductor material, used to manufacture high-power transistors, rectifiers, solar cells, etc. Silicon is widely distributed in nature, containing about 27.6% in the earth's crust, mainly in the form of silica and silicate.

Thanks to the interstellar technology provided by Xiao Wei, the Travelers can convert the extracted silicon into any substance they know after adopting some unspeakable black technology, and it has great energy, which is a substance that is very needed for the development of the base. The modified silicon will have a strong infectiousness and expansion and a very terrifying assimilation, because of this strange characteristic, so this modified 'silicon' is also jokingly called the Tiberium crystal by the traversers.

At this moment, in this research factory, a group of people from the Ministry of Chemical Industry are so nervous that their palms are sweating, without him, this is a historic change!

Through a layer of super-strong protective sealing glass with repulsion shield technology, Diab could see that the green diamond-shaped crystals contained in the semi-enclosed glass box were slowly approaching the huge pool below.

Closer, closer, less than half a meter from the water!

A robotic arm precisely controlled by the base AI Vicky placed the glass box on the surface of the water, and the box was denser than the water and soon sank into the water with the Tiberium Crystal contained in it.

"Boom. ”

A bubble popped up on the surface of the water, and then, under the watchful eyes of all the researchers, at the bottom of the pool, a white tile turned green the moment it touched the Tiberium crystal!

"Oh yes, it worked! hahahaha. "More than a month of tossing and turning has not been in vain!" After seeing the results, almost everyone hugged each other excitedly and jumped up like a group of children.

Shen Mo lowered his eyes: "The industrial production of the base can be taken to a higher level." ”
