Chapter 8: The Fangs of the Army

Pang Shushi's words made Kong Ming glance at him directly, and then pointed to the powder on the ground and said, "Is this thing still a dark iron ore?" Old man, are you bullying me for not understanding, or are you bullying me for being young?"

A piece of white powder on the ground, this is obviously not something like dark iron.

"Slip of the tongue!" Pang Shushi paused for a moment before he began to organize his words.

"Some of the stones you gave me just now are iron ore. There are also some gold essence, mythril and the like, all of which are useful for our flying swords, and there are some other things, but because the time is too short, there is no way to identify them for a while! But what can be known is that these things are treasures, if there are really a lot of such things, the grade of our expeditionary force's flying swords can be increased by at least ten grades!"

Pang Shushi sighed, this is really a huge opportunity, if there is really such a huge mine, then the flying swords of all the people of the entire expeditionary force will be upgraded by ten grades, in that way, from now on, the soldiers of the expeditionary force can get rid of the embarrassing situation of carrying swords all over their bodies and constantly changing swords.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Kong Ming was a little surprised, the weapons of the expeditionary force have always been a thorn in his heart, and those flying swords all need extremely precious metal casting to really exert their power, so that the weapons alone require the expeditionary force to pay a lot, this is also because the military expenses of the expeditionary force are paid by various empires, otherwise it really can't be consumed, but this is still secondary, the main thing is that these things are too few, and the real pure products are not enough to arm a team of thousands of people, so the only way to infiltrate these precious metals in the iron is to infiltrate these precious metals。 It was directly refined into an extremely inferior flying sword, and as an army of tens of millions of people, each person was equipped with a flying sword. It is difficult to get a real guarantee for such a defective product. So there was a situation where a warrior brought five or six flying swords to the battlefield. And once what Pang Shushi said is true, then the weapons of the expeditionary force will usher in a great change.

First of all, the materials used to make flying swords are divided into three, six, nine and other grades, and iron essence is the lowest grade material, but even the lowest grade materials make it difficult for the expeditionary force to continue, and they can only rely on the scrapped flying swords that are constantly recovered from the battlefield to be rewound and refined, to ensure that the entire expeditionary force has enough combat strength, and it is said that the ordinary flying swords in the Zhongzhou continent are refined. Most are manufactured from iron fines. Compared with the iron essence, the dark iron is countless levels higher, the dark iron is a medium material in the manufacture of flying swords, in other words, the dark iron can be used by people below the middle level Venerable, without any problems, because the dark iron is stronger than the iron essence, can hold more power, and has a good effect on both mana and spiritual power. In the mortal world, this is almost the first of the flying sword, but the dark iron is too hard to find! Secondly, the things you find are not only dark iron, but also many other materials. For example, Adamantite, Mithril and many other materials that can increase the performance of the flying sword, if we can get more of these materials. Then the flying sword of the entire expeditionary force can almost be said to be solved!" When he said the back, Pang Shushi gasped for his words. If this is the case, then the expeditionary force must have changed shotguns.

"That's it?" Kong Ming pointed to the powder on the ground with some confusion and said again, "That's it." Or is it a treasure in your mouth?"

Kong Ming really has some puzzlement, this thing is soft and doesn't collapse, and it becomes powder when you hold it lightly, this is still a baby?

I saw Pang Shushi carefully take out a small spoon from the space ring, scoop up a small piece of powder, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it slowly, suddenly, he snapped his fingers and directly closed the door of the entire command cabin, this abnormal movement attracted the attention of the guards outside, and several people directly knocked on the door.

"Come on, don't make any noise, stay outside, don't come in without an order!" Kong Ming said directly, hearing Kong Ming's voice, those guards stopped knocking on the door, and the room was quiet for a while. Pang Shushi stared intently at the spoonful of powder, and with another snap of his fingers, the lights in the entire headquarters were all extinguished, and his empty eyes looked at the powder, only to see that the powder emitted a faint fluorescence.

"What is this?" asked Kong Ming, with some uncertainty.

"This is phosphor, one of the most common magic materials, why isn't the commander a high-achieving student who graduated from the Department of Magic of the Imperial Comprehensive University? Don't you see these things?" Pang Shushi said directly, and his mind was completely settled at this time.

"Of course I know the phosphor, but how can I completely judge it by being so mysterious and mysterious to you?" Kong Ming said angrily. These things just said no, and they made it look like this, so that Kong Ming, a half-tone magician, was embarrassed and thrown into the middle of the sea.

"Oh boy! This is no ordinary phosphor. Pang Shushi said with a smile.

"What kind of phosphor is that?" said Kong Ming, who had never known what other divisions of phosphors were.

"Oh, it's the phosphor on the bottom of the sea. Pang Shushi said with a smile, but as soon as his words came out, he saw Kong Ming's extremely annoyed eyes, and almost threw him directly into the sea to cool off, Kong Ming directly thought that the phosphor on the bottom of the sea is not phosphor? Seeing this situation, Pang Shushi directly explained: "The phosphor on the bottom of the sea usually appears with a bonanza, which is the common knowledge of the alchemist, and the amount of phosphor usually shows how many minerals there are." ”

"Why?" Kong Ming asked directly, he really didn't know about this, because he hadn't learned it, how could he possibly figure out these things?

"Because these phosphors are usually left behind after the death of some very small microorganisms, and these microorganisms usually live on the ore in order to get more food, so the amount of phosphor knows whether the ore is rich or poor. And judging from this one ore, this should be a rich ore, and it is also a mixed ore. "As an expert, some things are much stronger than the half-tone of Kong Ming.

"What are you going to do next?" asked Kong Ming, who was a layman when it came to mining.

"Let's first explore the size and distribution of this mine. Then it's time to mine. Pang Shushi said.

"Well, all this ore was fished from the bottom of the sea where we are now. You can take the people you need and go straight down and have a look. ”

"Okay, but if there's a bonanza here. Then we have to have a warship stop here and mine, otherwise it will be too inefficient. Pang Shushi said, this is also the usual practice.

"No, let's take a look at the size of the mine first, if the area is large and it's a rich mine, then let's build a mining base directly on the seabed and set up a teleportation array there. It's better to teleport the ore directly back to Alcatraz Island and then further process it, one is that the target is small, the other is that it will not leave a battleship here and leave it useless, and the other is that if those people mine at the bottom of the sea, they don't have to go through the seawater, which is troublesome. If it's a poor mine. Just let a battleship stop here, wait for another battleship on Alcatraz Island, and then leave. Kong Ming said that there are things that must be clarified first. In this way, people will be targeted, not like a headless fly.

"Well, let's go!" Pang Shushi said. He was already a little impatient at this time, and he really wanted to reach the place that Kong Ming said with one kick. But Xi Kongming still sat motionless on the table. Pang Shushi was really unhappy, "What's wrong?".

"Although I don't know how to prospect. However, just you and me, how do you evaluate it? It's just a matter of going inside and taking a look!" Kong Ming said with some tears and laughter, this old man has been engaged in alchemy all his life, don't you understand this?

"Uh, uh, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm going to arrange for someone to come over immediately, well, follow the normal procedure, follow the normal procedure. Pang Shushi said with some embarrassment, and left as he spoke.

Kong Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, he really couldn't cope with this kind of old child-like character.

Two hours later, on the command ship, more than a hundred gods were divided into eight groups, and each group had some strange alchemy products in their hands, which were estimated to be used for detection, and behind these more than a hundred gods, there were more than a hundred gods, they were the second echelon, Kong Ming and several personnel from the command headquarters plus Pang Shushi were standing on the bow of the ship, and the things that should be prepared were ready.

"All ready?" asked Kuming.

"Well, everything is ready!" Pang Shushi said, after two hours, his mood had calmed down, and he once again showed the steady demeanor of a huge division, and Taishan collapsed forward without blinking an extremely steady manner, well, or it was too late to blink!

"Guards have been dispatched all around, and within a radius of a hundred kilometers, there are no demonic beasts above the god level. Sima Wei said on the side, when he learned the news, he immediately sent a direct team to clean up the demonic beasts around the command ship. The navy cleaned up the surrounding monsters, and in this way, the task of food and vigilance was completed. Because they all know how important this kind of thing is for the expeditionary force. It's just that in this way, it will be a disaster for the demonic beasts in the sea, almost within these two hours, almost none of the demonic beasts that can be seen and perceived have survived, and the murderous aura here has also frightened the demonic beasts that are moving around, so that they dare not approach here.

"Let's go!" Kong Ming said, and took the lead directly into the water, followed by Pang Shushi and the other high-level members of the expeditionary force, and then the eight groups of gods. When he came to the sea again, due to his full preparation, the few people who followed Kong Ming turned on the magic lamp for the first time, and the powerful light directly dispelled the darkness near the people.

"Whew!" Kong Ming stood in the middle of the sea, once again looking at the stones of different sizes at the bottom, his eyes flashed with green light, you know, if it is really as Pang Shushi said, then the combat effectiveness of the entire expeditionary force can be increased by at least several times.

"Commander, there are no fluorescent lights here!" Sima Wei said on the side, he has never let go of this kind of excitement, not to mention that now he is the commander of the entire operation, and the others also looked at Kong Ming, with a strange look, only Pang Shushi is still the old god.

"Everyone turn off the magic lights!" Kong Ming said, and in the first time, all the magic lights were turned off, and suddenly the bottom of the sea fell into darkness again. Then, in the eyes of everyone, slowly little by little bright spots began to appear from near to far. Slowly, a fluorescent light appeared in front of everyone, with the dark seabed as a background. It shows the beauty and beauty of these things even more.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhuge Yibu sighed, the faint fluorescence of various colors was dispersed, and every small bright spot only illuminated a small place, but even so, countless bright spots still let everyone see a beautiful place.

"There are stones everywhere, and it's about the same as the commander gave it. If that's really the case, then this will be a huge mine!" Different people have different opinions, for Pang Shushi, the ore is the most beautiful sight of his eyes, as for the bright spot, forget it, even if a peerless beauty is placed in front of him, he is not moved at all.

For Pang Shushi's words that made everyone feel a little unhappy, of course, there was no way to express it on the face.

"According to the preparation in advance. The teams immediately explored the entire place, and if they found any accidents, they immediately issued an alarm!" said Sima Wei, who was in charge of the operation. They need to probe and map the minerals under the entire seabed, and this process cannot be completed in a day or two. So now these eight groups of people are just responsible for making a determination of the entire mineral range. And Kong Ming is watching from the sidelines, purely leading the way and watching. A very pure spectator. Although he is a commander, but. His time and energy are destined to make it impossible for him to intervene in everything, in all aspects, even if time permits, he can't do this, once he interferes in everything, then there will be a situation like this, that is, all the people will look at him, waiting for his words, his signature, only in this way will the next action be carried out, which is not only a great restriction on the initiative of his subordinates, but also a great blow and destruction to the enthusiasm of the entire army. His authority will directly affect the play of the entire battle in a certain way. Or some people will say that above history, many generals are examples of this kind of totalitarianism, but most of these people end up either dying of exhaustion or being killed by their subordinates.

After Sima Wei gave the order, he only saw eight groups of divine beings swimming in eight different directions. Others are walking slowly directly on the bottom of the sea, picking up stones in the bottom of the sea at random, and constantly watching, they are also very curious about these things. Kong Ming looked around, picked up a stone from the bottom of the sea at random, and asked, "Huge Master, what kind of ore are these?"

There was no echo for a long time.

"Huge Master, what kind of ore are these?"

Kong Ming asked again, his voice increased a lot, but there was still no response, in his divine sense, Kong Ming knew that this master was less than five meters away from him, with their level, coupled with the conduction in the water, Pang Shushi should be able to hear it clearly, but there was no response, Kong Ming felt very strange. Kong Ming turned around and looked over, only to see Pang Shushi's eyes in a daze at this time, his face was stiff, the whole person was trembling, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, if it wasn't for Kong Ming not finding any dangerous situation, he really thought that this person was scared. Kong Ming is really speechless, this benevolent brother has appeared in various situations many times today, and it really doesn't look like a god did it. Kong Ming could only wait for the alchemist master of the expeditionary force to come to his senses before he could ask some questions he wanted to know.

At this time, Sima Wei signaled again, and after a while, more than a hundred people came down from above, and after these people came down, they were divided into nine groups, eight of which flew in eight directions, and the remaining group stopped not far in front of Kong Ming and the others, and the first thing they did was to start taking out some strange things from the space ring not far in front of Kong Ming, such as some magic instruments.

"Ten meters deep, magic shows minerals stored zài, depth twenty meters, magic shows mineral deposits zài, depth thirty meters, magic shows mineral deposits zài, depth forty meters, rocks appear, depth fifty meters, still rocks,...... At a depth of 500 meters, lava appears. A voice kept coming from one of the magical devices.

"What is this?" asked Ku Ming with some strange oddity.

"In this place of magical civilization, many incredible things need magic to complete, you can use magic to illuminate, you can use magic to detect, you can use magic as a weapon, of course, you can also use magic to prospect, of course, there are some magicians who can directly use some special magic to deeply detect minerals without using magic instruments like guò. Sima Wei explained in some explanations. He is the head of the expeditionary force's direct team, and the head of the expeditionary force's intelligence department, and is extremely skilled in many magical detections.

"I'm not magically blind, what are you talking about? I'm just asking if the ore here is only thirty meters deep, rich or poor?" Kong Ming asked.

As soon as Sima Wei wanted to speak, he heard the voice of Pang Shushi next to him: "If this is iron ore, then this must be a poor mine, thirty meters thick, too low, it is not enough to make a plow, but if it is a dark iron mine, it must be a rich mine, when it is a place like ten square meters, we can make dozens of flying swords based on black iron." ”

It's rare that Pang Shushi woke up, and he made a little joke.

"Awake?" Kong Ming tried to ask, to see if this master figure was really awake.

"Hehe, the old man lost his temper today, lost his temper!" Pang Shushi smiled a little embarrassedly. I don't know why, as a master-level figure today, he actually has such gaffes, and it is one after another gaffes, which makes his heart become a little abnormal.

"Lao Pang, you are also a high-level god, how can you be such a gaffe?" Kong Ming said a little strangely. Pang Shushi was also receiving his training some time ago, so his level increased quickly, and now he is a high-level god, so Kong Ming will say this.

"Hehe, this has nothing to do with cultivation, it has something to do with the mood. If possible, I hope that the ore here can be enough to support all the flying sword manufacturing of our entire expeditionary force!" Pang Shushi sighed, since the expeditionary force began to use flying swords, the low quality and insufficient production have always been his heart disease.

"Don't be disappointed, there are so many ores here, I believe there should be no shortage in other places on the bottom of the sea, one is that those magical beasts don't know how to use these things, and on the other hand, very few people find them at the bottom of the sea, so in the vast sea, these things should not be in the minority. Don't overthink it. Kong Ming smiled.

"If we do what the commander said, then our expeditionary force really has a sharp tooth! (To be continued......)
