Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Tungsten alloy is the hardest alloy humans have made.

Even slightly better tungsten alloy is extremely difficult to drill into with a drill bit, and smoothing similar alloys is quite normal.

Most importantly, the effect of piercing is different from drilling with a drill bit, and the thicker the object, the more so. Zhang Pei was very suspicious about what special means he had used.

Looking closely, the tungsten steel used for the gun body was about 30 centimeters thick; the front half of the pierced hole was rough, while the back half was smooth, indeed different from a cut hole.

Thinking again, tungsten steel, though extremely hard, could not be called tough. Because it is very brittle, it is hard to imagine that it did not shatter under such impact.

Zhang Pei did not hesitate and asked directly: "When you pierce tungsten steel with a weapon, why doesn't it shatter?"

The knights looked at each other and laughed heartily.

The combat knight who had just performed, examining the spear tip, said: "You're a commoner, yet you know quite a bit. Well, since you have Chen Yi's pass, unless the battle qi is broken, the weapon won't shatter."

The knights of the West Continent are indeed strange. Zhang Pei asked again: "What if the battle qi is broken?"

"Battle qi broken?" The knight was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly: "If battle qi is broken, then just die."

Zhang Pei did not expect such an answer and was stunned for a moment.

The dirty knight kneeling on the tatami mat displayed an attitude of facing death as if returning home, which actually made him feel a surge of excitement.

The slogan of defending home and country, light yet heavy, the more primitive, the more it reflects the natural surging within helplessness.

A new world!

A new world.

Zhang Pei somewhat understood why Chen Yi was willing to take huge risks to establish gold bonds, build a port, and found a martial arts hall.

Only by desperately moving forward is a man's destination, right?

——Even if, if he fails, then just die.

Zhang Pei was at a turning point in his life, and for a moment he thought too deeply, standing still in a daze.

The knights, however, had no such sentiment. The man on his right rudely pushed him once and said in a muffled voice: "You're blocking the way."

Only to see him pick up a piece of tungsten steel blank, light scattering from both hands, shaping the metal like kneading a clay figure, with very skilled movements.

Combat knights, like mages, must also engage in some productive activities. Manufacturing weapons is like the gentlemen of the Holy Qiao Kingdom grabbing crystals from the Magic Net; both are jobs only they can do.

Exchanging labor for materials for personal use is the most normal equivalent exchange.

Zhang Pei composed himself and knelt down to sit.

His small body looked as ridiculous as a child doing yoga, resting only on the knights' waists, his voice spreading from bottom to top: "Are the two types of tungsten steel you use for the gun body and gun head the same?"

"The refined gold inside the wall must be consistent, crystallized. You wouldn't understand." A certain knight answered arrogantly.

"So they are different..." Zhang Pei muttered. Many materials used in super-hard alloys are not rare; their high hardness indicators lie in the advancement of forging technology. Crystallization is one of them. Compared to special materials, special techniques might be more valuable. Zhang Pei couldn't help but ask: "Where did you learn this method? If you researched it yourselves, forgive my meddling."

"The Temple's formula. All combat knights can do it, well, you can't." Yin Sen Zhu, a Divine Art Knight, spoke up on his own initiative: "Previously lacking refined gold, now we use refined gold as we please; just this one condition released could recruit countless knights."

The combat knights nodded in agreement.

Zhang Pei's heart thumped.

This was a major discovery, perhaps two, or even three.

A group of people who could handcraft super-hard tungsten alloy could actually be bought off with just ordinary tungsten metal. Tungsten is a fairly common non-ferrous metal, especially in China; one could say it's worthless.

He raised his head and smiled with a small tilt: "What do you use this kind of refined gold alloy you make for? Besides weapons?"

"Making drill bits." The combat knight kneading tungsten gold casually tossed out a finished drill bit, as thick as a girl's arm, clearly a model used in mines.

Zhang Pei turned it over and over, looking at it; left and right symmetrical, center of gravity evenly balanced, visually no flaws.

After graduating, he entered the Ministry of Land and Resources, spending most of his time working within the framework of the Geological and Mineral Department. It wasn't considered a good job among his peers, but precisely because of that, he could come to the West Continent.

Zhang Pei tried hard to recall, trying to find a point of doubt.

But this handcrafted drill bit seemed even more precise than one from a mass production line.

"Can you give it to me? This drill bit." Zhang Pei held it tightly, with no intention of letting go.

"Then I'll give it to you." When a knight lord receives a request, he won't haggle in poor taste.

Zhang Pei was overjoyed and hurriedly stuffed it into his bag.

Tungsten alloy is an excellent cutting metal, and its drill bits are the most commonly used in mining areas. A long hole filled with explosives can blow up a mountain. Without it, many metal ores would be very difficult to mine.

Similarly, the making of drill bits is also quite high-tech, with many subtle requirements. Being able to handcraft drill bits means one can certainly handcraft many mechanical products; the value within is very broad.

He had not yet figured out how to utilize this information, but without a doubt, using tungsten gold as transaction currency is a pretty good idea. Then there is the utilization of these combat knights; besides their processing level, they obviously have a relatively high status among the local natives, and without direct force intervention, buying them off is a good choice... Then there is direct profit; the drill bit business is quite good, of course more suitable for local consumption in West River, but if more formulas could be obtained, the benefits might not be few.

10 hours, to gain such a harvest, can be said to not have made this trip in vain.

Zhang Pei calculated and calculated, feeling his information value could rank among the front, perhaps even better; there should be a ticket qualification for next time, right?

Of course, before understanding the capacity of the Magic Subway and the power Chen Yi mastered, his idea was not wrong.

Even for Chen Yi, purchasing tungsten gold and transporting it to the West Continent would be around the time after Shuizhai was established. He could immediately find a breakthrough point, at least it would be extremely valuable to the Zhang Family.

In the last hour, Zhang Pei specifically went to look at the engineering drill bits of the Rare Earth Mine, glanced at some transportation equipment in the mining area, then boarded the plane, and used another half hour to fly back to West River City.

This is also why only he came to the Rare Earth Mine; it was truly too far. For the brand new West Continent, the value of any information is huge; with a round trip of one hour, everyone naturally would choose a wider place.

Chen Yi waited in the bunker building in Yun Village; when 10 hours arrived, he entered the Light Gate without stopping for a moment.

Others basically had no choice to plead; almost upon seeing Chen Yi they would set off.

Zhang Pei originally worried his luggage would be inspected, and after a brain full of reasoning and arguing, he was actually ignored and let into the subway; besides relaxing, it truly made him feel quite hurt.

Bystanders thought Chen Yi was magnanimous, not knowing he had already used Shenjia to roll up everyone's personal belongings. Moreover, the Divine Art Knight following as a bodyguard was also the best spy. If necessary, they could use Shenjia to activate Magic Images and record video back directly.

In the flash of the Magic Subway, the silver-white carriage enveloped everyone.

"It's like going from primitive society back to modern society." Someone praised in a very good mood, drawing a burst of laughter.

"Let's go sit inside." Chen Yi pointed at a rest area enclosed by containers. From there, the subway's light gate couldn't be seen, and the soon-to-arrive Saint Qiao Kingdom wouldn't be discovered either.

Zhang Pei touched the subway seat and sat down uneasily.

He wanted the subway to arrive quickly, yet also wanted to enjoy this wondrous feeling a while longer.

The second carriage suddenly flickered a bit.

The vending-machine-like door-side suction port opened and closed automatically, as if wanting to swallow something.

This was a sign that the subway needed items.

Chen Yi's brow furrowed, and he activated Shenjia again, carefully examining everything. With the carriage door flickering, time was abundant; he could completely analyze slowly.

At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything special — some metal and crafts, some records on paper, some West Continent furs and weapons, some meat and plants, a few ores, several insects — this was strange.

He looked at the insects' owner, a relatively young person present, who should be the Xu Family's Third Young Master, or Fourth Young Master, or the like.

Catching a few worms to take home.

Could insect research possibly change society?

Chen Yi thus feigned nonchalance, came to the Xu Family young master's side, and said to everyone: "Everything went smoothly today?"

"Not bad."

"Pretty good."

Similar answers were tossed back in a pile.

"If there are no problems, in a few days we'll conduct a second examination, and the time will be extended somewhat. Specific information will be announced based on this trip's situation." Chen Yi spoke meaningless words, but Shenjia stirred slightly, and he tossed the transformed little lizard onto the Xu Family young master.

The fingertip-sized lizard instantly crawled into his backpack, bit open the worm bottle, then held the worms in its mouth, subsequently crawled to his back and leaped out, jumping onto the subway windowsill with a "pa" landing sound.

"Pet." Chen Yi explained, reached out and scooped it into his arms, taking it to the rear of the carriage.

No one suspected anything, returning to heated discussion.

"Truly disgusting." The little lizard spat out five small golden-yellow worms.

A bit like cicadas, chubby, wriggling slowly.

"Valued for their silk?"

Chen Yi kept one, and brought the remaining to the second carriage's vending machine.

The entire process, not a single person detected anything.

For a Divine Art Knight to steal something, going to such trouble and still being discovered — they'd have no business in the trade. They are truly the type with eyes in the back of their heads.

Four pinky-length small golden-yellow worms were tossed into the vending machine, and the subway immediately trembled twice. The carriage's flickering intensified, then instantly stabilized.

"Light curtain expanded."

A line of four characters, simple yet complex.

Chen Yi licked his lips.

Things always happen unexpectedly.

Staying on the West Continent this long, he had never discovered the special significance of these golden-yellow worms.

Even now, he couldn't see their special point.

Who could have thought, a few small worms would have the same value as hundreds of millions of fossils.

Everyone's observation angle is indeed different.

"Worth the ticket price!" Chen Yi thought to himself.

A 400-kilometer radius extension meant 500,000 square kilometers of land, differing little from a small European country's area. Although because it's by the sea, more than half is not land, but it also included this province and two neighboring provinces' one-third, total area expanding to a province's scope.

Most wonderful is, 400 kilometers reaches the Southeast Province City's boundary.

"Pineapple, put the worm back." Chen Yi didn't intend to research the last golden-yellow worm himself; better to give it to the Xu Family young master and see how things go.

The little lizard made a bitter face, whimpering: "So disgusting."

Chen Yi tossed the worm with a flick of his hand.

The little lizard made a habitual jumping posture, the same as when it used to catch metal blocks.
