Volume 2: Abyss of Sighs 0122: Obtain Metal
The aggregate rolled above the magma, and the thoughts of several people kept refreshing.
If you use a "hyacinth" firearm to shoot the metal ball, the metal ball will most likely not be hit out of the lava lake.
On the contrary, the viscous liquid mysterious metal, which may be scattered by the bullets, will not end well, although it will be a few years or decades for them to gather together again, and everyone will not wait that long.
If the Freezing Technique of the Water Spirit Warlock is also possible.
But even if the lava around the metal ball was frozen for a second, it was beyond the ability of a warlock to do it.
Of course, it is a different matter if there are mid-to-high-level water spirit magicians.
Among them, Wei Ling was able to use the spell of the water spirit, but Wei Ling thought that he could not freeze the lava without the ability above the intermediate level.
If Welling and Xiao Du used the earth spirit technique, condensed the rock slabs, spread them on the lava lake, and relayed to build footholds in the lava lake, and went to the lake to pick up the metal balls as quickly as possible before the lava melted the rock slabs in time, theoretically, but after approaching the metal balls, what would they use to pick them up?
The temperature is at least 1,000 degrees Celsius.
The water spirit's technique is not easy to use, one is that the moisture in the environment here is basically baked clean, even if it takes a lot of effort, it can condense the liquid, and contact with the metal ball will inevitably cause a violent boiling or even explosion.
The spells of the wood spirit are even more indiscriminate, and any spell of the wood attribute will disappear in such a high temperature, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort.
As for Welling's spiritual power technique, it was even more impossible.
His divine consciousness has not yet been able to achieve the degree of concrete manifestation, he can only interfere with small objects in the air, and he can't even control it, there is really no way to deal with such a large metal ball, according to the density of G205 metal, its weight is far beyond Xiao Duhuo's estimate.
For a while, several people looked at each other, and there was nothing to think about for the time being.
Because the gas by the magma lake is toxic, although everyone is not afraid, it will definitely be uncomfortable to stay for a long time, so they retreated hundreds of meters, and everyone sat down to think about the strategy.
Immediately, several people thought of several methods, but they couldn't stand up to scrutiny, and they couldn't help but be depressed.
"Alas, think of those crashed vehicles, which cost their lives in vain.
Now it seems that even if they don't crash, they still won't be able to get the metal when they get to this place. ”
Mancao rarely sighed with emotion.
Welling was stunned, and suddenly smiled and threw out the information packet:
"Hey, Mangcao, you're so smart, your message got me the way.
Those crashed vehicles, whether civilian or military, will always have a large number of high-temperature resistant alloy materials, we go to move some debris over, on the top of the magma lake, build a herringbone arch bridge, and then use the temperature of the magma to melt other metals, what can't be melted, is our tools to pick up metal. ”
Xiao Duhuo slapped his thigh:
"Gao, this method is good, you can give it a try!"
So, a few people turned back to the slightly open area before to disassemble the crashed vehicles.
They focused on the Federation's Manta Ray-class vehicle.
The strength of the grass and the palace is far beyond ordinary people, and two pieces of lightweight hull covering with a length of more than 20 meters were dismantled in three strokes and five divided by two, which were intended to be used to build a herringbone arch bridge.
The focus was then on the barrels and core engines of the vehicle's energy weapons, as well as a large number of metal cables for bundling.
After several tosses and trips, everyone moved all the materials they needed to the lava lake.
This time it went very smoothly, with two lightweight hulls facing each other, tied with metal cables at the top of the middle, forming a solid arch bridge.
The metal that was moved over and was estimated to be resistant to high temperatures was thrown on top of the magma that had not yet solidified.
Most of these materials have only turned red, not melted, and have been beaten into two spoon-like tools with a sledgehammer, and the back end of this tool has a long handle several meters long, which makes it easy to stand on the "arch bridge" to pick up the metal.
The next thing is logical, the two of them, Mangcao and Shepherd, each standing on the "arch bridge", use a long "spoon" to scoop up the metal tumbling above the magma.
The metal that was scooped up, after breaking the temperature of the magma, slowly changed color, and the red faded until it became the familiar gold.
The two of them carefully carried the metal they were holding up to the surface of the lake and walked off the arched bridge.
The matter ended perfectly, the only pity is that at least a part of the metal is melted into the metal of the two "spoons", which must be professionally refined before it can be separated again.
It's not a big deal, though, and it's about bringing two more big spoons anyway.
In the end, the cooled metal was put into the pre-prepared wooden packaging box, and the amount exceeded Xiao Duhuo's estimate of 50-150 kilograms, not counting the two "spoons", both of which exceeded 180 kilograms.
Packed up, the group began to return.
During the walk, several people were so satisfied that they smiled.
The trip was so rewarding.
"Brother Welling, the flame of hope that I have been extinguished is about to be rekindled.
Do you know how much our income this time would be if it were converted into imperial money? ”
Welling didn't reply, smiling slightly.
A few days ago, for the exchange of those three small mines, Shougong slightly converted, and each kilogram of metal, although the reward given by the empire was lower than that of the black market, it also reached 500,000 yuan, but the empire also rewarded 20 points.
Imperial money may be available in many ways, but not mercies.
Contribution points awarded by the Empire at that time.
Xiao Duhuo couldn't help but be a little overjoyed:
"Needless to say, their annual income naturally far exceeds this, but for the eight major families, this is not a small amount.
For example, families like the Zhu family and the Liu family, who do not dominate with wealth and power, may not be as good as our harvest this time. ”
For Xiao Duhuo's joy, Welling nodded with a smile.
Although it seems to be a huge harvest, how many rich mines can there be in such a blessed area, which has never been patronized by revenators, pangoliners, and gold diggers?
It also happened that most of the federal personnel who used to stay in the Doomsday Fortress next to it were research personnel who were good at biological genetic technology, and they had no interest in exploring the resources that might exist nearby.
With so much net worth increased all of a sudden, Wei Ling and Shougong looked at each other with a smile.
If you have money to make, you will be happy after all.
Welling thought for a moment:
"Brother Duhuo, after we return to Kerabaya, let's see if the Western Expeditionary Army can refine a way to separate the spoon, if not, forget it, you keep it for yourselves.
I and the three percent of the palace guards left me 10 kilograms, put them into 10 small bottles, and keep them for the future for the people around them for their own use, and the rest were exchanged for the empire. ”
Xiao Duhuo nodded again and again:
"Well, there is a way, among the specialists in the Western Expeditionary Army who are responsible for collecting metal, there are fire spirit warlocks of no low rank, and it is very simple for them to melt and separate metals."
"Haha, that's good, Brother Duhuo, I guess you've been a billionaire for a long time, how do you feel?"
"Hahahaha, I originally felt that life was boring at first, but this harvest has greatly increased people's confidence...... However, there are not many such opportunities, and one time is worth the past five years.
Brother Welling, shall we cooperate more in the future? ”
Wei Ling's expression slowly became serious, and he threw out a message, which only Xiao Duhuo and Shougong could receive:
"Brother Duhuo, you can work together again if you have the opportunity. But as you know from the beginning, I'm not here, I'm just making a cameo...... There is another question, I hope that Brother Duhuo will cooperate, Granny Dan obviously knows Lord Xiao and has not deleted your memory.
I won't ask about your relationship with Lord Xiao, let alone what happened to you and your family back then.
However, please keep my magical abilities secret and don't mention them to anyone else, so that even if we have a relationship. ”
Xiao Duhuo nodded solemnly:
"Okay, Brother Welling, I know how to measure up if you don't say it...... Can make Xiao ...... Adults divide their spiritual power to pay attention to people, and even the wisdom body comes to save people, how can I lie more?
If it were possible, I would even like to forget about it all. ”
Xiao Duhuo's smile was a little bitter.
Feeling the bitterness of Xiao Duhuo, Wei Ling shook his head with a smile:
"Brother Duhuo was too worried, on General Wang's vehicle that day, Lord Xiao showed his attention to Granny Tan, and at the same time, he said that Brother Duhuo was his son and nephew.
Do you really think that Lord Xiao came here just to rescue me? Ha ha. ”
Xiao Duhuo was stunned.
Yes, Xiao Jingmo, the current highest-level imperial high-level of the Lanling Xiao Clan, the chief subordinate officer of Prime Minister Xie Xinyi, the existence with the highest cultivation level in the family, and the most intelligent existence in the recognized family, has always been a model in the mouth of Xiao Duhuo's nephews and even grandchildren.
His thoughts, who can easily guess?
got Xiao Duhuo's promise, and Welling no longer bothered about this matter.
Of course, there was still a worry in his heart, the prime minister of the empire, Lord Xiao Jingmo, also knew almost all of his secrets, which was the most worrying thing for him.
There is also a hidden worry in his heart, a master of the level like Lord Xiao has separated a wisp of spiritual power and attached it to his thoughts, and he has no abnormality at all.
And whether Lord Xiao can understand everything about himself in this way is unknown.
As for whether there is a "beacon" of Lord Xiao in his mind and spiritual power now, no one can say.
This world is really not friendly enough to people at the bottom.
Fortunately, there is no problem with Welling's recognition of the Empire.
If it weren't for that, Welling would probably have trouble sleeping.
The group walked and stopped, and soon arrived at the small square, and loaded all the various equipment they were carrying into the simplified version of the "mountain ghost" again.
They were not in the mood to stay any longer, and continued their march to the top of the crack.
In the depths of the fissure in the depths of the Abyss of Sighs, there was almost no daylight, and the group could only judge the date by time.
In total, this is also the second day of entering the crack.
Several people were physically strong, and they didn't feel much tired, so they didn't stop halfway, and soon crossed the "first line of sky".
As the cracks in the blue sky overhead grew bigger and bigger, and finally out of the grooved terrain, they appeared in the basin guarded by countless large trees.
Walking out of the abyss of sighs, everyone has a feeling of sudden dream.
