Chapter 521 - New Energy Source! New Metal! (2/2)

Guanyin! King Dushi narrowed his eyes until just a slit remained between his eyelids, a cold gleam radiating through it. He is but a mysterious martial artist like the Inferno Emperor. No one knows about his origins. Not many people have seen him. Old Nine and Old Ten, those two Inferno Kings have seen him, and they both died as a result of it, died under their own famous ultimate skills!

King Dushi’s room gradually dimmed down. He needed complete silence for the next three days.

Beep beep beep…

A series of ear-piercing rings sounded in King Dushi’s room as well as the military base almost simultaneously. King Dushi casually pressed the answer button.

A lieutenant colonel at the military base immediately picked up the phone, his expression changed in the next moment, “What? A new energy source might have been discovered!?”

The soldiers in the room exclaimed at the same time. Even Solov, who was on the edge of life and death, had his eyes flickered with an excited gleam instantly.

New energy source! Ever since Saturn and Jupiter mystically became solid planets, various research and mercenary teams started searching through these two planets from time to time, hoping to find some special source of energy or thing; if they found the reason why these gaseous planets turned solid planets, it’d also be good.

“Thousand times better than the energy contained in plants!? True or false?” The lieutenant colonel felt his breathing grow a bit ragged. He looked at his colleagues and found a similar gleam in their eyes. Yang Lie and the others were also looking at each other with surprise.

Plant energy was new energy developed after the rapid development of human science and technology. It used wheat, soybeans, corn, and other crops to extract high-concentration energy. Under the same volume, it had five times more energy than petroleum. It quickly replaced petroleum as an extremely advanced energy source.

Thousand times stronger than the plant energy!? What kind of notion is this? Mankind traveling to farther distances will no longer be a dream! In the future, all kinds of scientific experimental techniques will no longer be empty talks anymore!

“Report the specific location!” Lieutenant Colonel’s excited face turned stiff the next moment. “What!? You have already lost contact with the exploration team!? They entered the high magnetic field area a month ago, and since then, you can only communicate occasionally but unable to find the specific location!?”

Solov’s excited expression dimmed immediately. High magnetic field zone… that place is also known as a natural cemetery. Almost all anti-interference electronic equipment will malfunction there. If they are still alive after acquiring the new energy source, then I can surely persuade Qin Fen and others to let me go…

“Change it to the conference mode.” An interested Yang Lie took over the base and became the temporary spokesperson. Qin Fen stepped back quietly. He didn’t understand this. And since Yang Lie was interested, it was better to let him speak and make decisions.

The lieutenant colonel peeked a glance at Qin Fen and discovered that this lieutenant colonel of Earth did not have any qualms with someone taking over the authority, not in the slightest; his expression seemed to be telling that it was a matter of course. He even switched to conference projection quickly.

The female soldier in the projection might not be called a beauty but the neat and clean uniform brought an inexplicable beauty in her, that could easily incite the man’s inner desire to conquest her.

“Sir!” The soldier was somewhat surprised to see Solov in the military department. She gave him a military salute before reporting, “The report isn’t complete. In the last message we received not long ago, there were two more things. Please listen to it yourself and check it…”

A swathe of emerald green appeared on the projected screen, thick and dense tree everywhere. Judging by their appearance, it seemed as if they had been growing here for decades or even centuries, but Saturn hadn’t changed a century ago.

The occasional sunlight seeping through the dense foliage made this gloomy forest filled with mystical charm.

“Did you see!? New metal.”

On the screen, a captain wearing a spec ops uniform dug a fist-sized metal out from the mud. The metal appeared soft and orange. Judging by the Captain’s movement, the metal might look small but it was very heavy. The Captain held that piece of metal with some effort.

The Captain’s voice on the screen was very soft and low as if he was afraid of alarming some unknown danger that could emerge out of nowhere.

“This is the new metal we just discovered. It’s found in the same location as the new energy.” The Captain took out a blue serrated knife, which was a grade higher than the blade forged from Phoenix Red Steel found on Mars. If ancient idioms were used to describe it, it could cut through iron like mud, slice the hair fluttering in the wind!

The Captain’s serrated knife cut the orange metal fiercely. But after dazzling sparks and grating noises of metallic-collision, not even the slightest trace of damage could be found on it. On the contrary, the blue serrated knife in Captain’s hand broke into two.

“Did you see? Mystical, right!?” The Captain’s muffled words could not hide his excitement. “Everyone should be clear about my strength, I am in the nine-star level. This blade is so hard that I can’t break it using my strength but when I used it to cut the metal, the knife actually broke. Mystical, isn’t it?”

Qin Fen nodded subconsciously at the sight of this. This was really mystical. The hard Mars Phoenix Red Vein Steel was not something a nine-star martial artist could break. Even if the captain tried to cut a huge piece of Mars Phoenix Red Vein Steel with a blade, he could only produce some sparks at most. His impact wasn’t enough for the knife to unable to withstand the force and break.

“There are even more amazing things.” The captain carefully collected the broken pieces of blade. “We just researched it and found that this metal is very mystical. Its melting point for the first time is only one hundred and fifty degrees, at which it will turn into a golden molten. But after it cools down, it will not even melt even at one thousand five hundred degrees, not even the slightest bit.”

Brooks peeked a glance at Xue Tian through the corner of his eyes before looking at the nearby Mourad with a smile. Judging by the hardness of this metal, it seems it can be used to make weapons!?

Xue Tian pursed his lips into a similar smile. His previous katana could be strengthened by infusing true energy but it could still be broken by powerful enemies. But if this metal was used to make weapons!?

Solov’s eyes glittered with excitement. If this metal is used to make cosmic warships, God knows if even divine beast martial artists could break them? Even if the divine beast martial artists could break them, can those martial dao masters keep on going in the face of this metal? Handing such a thing to the military would be a very meritorious deed! At that time, even the entire Federation might safeguard me! It might be impossible for Qin Fen to kill me no matter how much he wanted.

“Who’s there?”

The captain’s face on the projection screen changed suddenly as he turned back and let out a miserable scream. In the next moment, a rain of blood appeared on the screen; the captain’s throat was cut by something sharp. His mouth remained open and his eyes widened in shock. He was looking up, wanting to say something. But because his vocal cord was broken, he couldn’t make any sound.

Qin Fen frowned as he focused his gaze at the opening and closing mouth of the Captain, reading his lips carefully. “Monster… monster… monster…”

The projection came to a halt as the female soldier appeared before everyone with a helpless look. “This is how it is. We know that there is a new energy source that is likely to replace the plant energy at the natural cemetery. At the same time, there is also a very mystical metal there, but the exact location cannot be guessed accurately.”

“Got it.” Yang Lie waved his hand and said calmly. “Send this video here, you don’t need to back it up there, delete it directly.”

The soldier looked stunned. She turned to Solov, looking at the highest-ranking officer on Saturn in doubt.

Yang Lie turned his gaze at Qin Fen, his lips twitching a few times. Qin Fen immediately glared at Solov. And Solov, who had wanted to straighten his chest, said dejectedly, “Do according to what he said.”

After the projection ended. Yang Lie rushed into Solov’s office, operated the computer to receive the data, then he said to Qin Fen without raising his head. “These things need to be researched very thoroughly. Although they are metal and energy, I believe Young Master Lin and Yin will be very interested. Qin Fen, ask Solov to hand over the base command. I cannot use many of the systems here.”

Solov looked at Qin Fen, puzzled. Who exactly is the leader of this team? Qin Fen was giving orders before but now, why do Yang Lie’s words not have the slightest intention of asking the superior in the blink of an eye? Every sentence seems to be a command to Qin Fen!? Can they order each other? Is there any leader at all? What kind of team is this?
