Chapter 387: Materials

It's just that the tracing process is a bit long.

Ge Xiaolun waited for a full hour before the tracing was finally complete.

The reason Nusa was able to survive after being trapped and experiencing a planetary-level explosion was mainly because he had used his clone to replace his true body.

The specific situation is as follows.

After discovering that it would take too long to undo the trap, he decisively abandoned that plan.

He immediately chose to swap his true body with his clone to avoid being blown to death.

Even doing this took him quite a bit of time.

At the very moment of the planetary explosion, he finally completed the swap.

Yet he was still caught in the blast, which is why he ended up in that state just now.

Having understood what happened, Ge Xiaolun no longer lingered and turned to leave the completely destroyed Lieyang Star.

On the way back, Ge Xiaolun couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

How could this guy Nusa be so tough? If he had been just two or three seconds slower, he would have been blown to death; that is truly a pity.

Sigh!

In the blink of an eye, Ge Xiaolun returned to Styx to meet with Karl.

Nusa had long since returned to the great hall and told Karl everything that had happened on Lieyang Star.

After learning everything, Karl did not punish the two of them, merely waving his hand to dismiss them.

Leaving the great hall, they arrived outside.

Nusa threw out some harsh words.

"Ge Xiaolun, although the explosion of Lieyang Star has nothing to do with you, it was ultimately your trap that almost killed me inside!"

"You just wait for me, this isn't over!"

To this, Ge Xiaolun simply and cleanly raised a middle finger.

"A dog that bites doesn't bark; a dog like you only knows how to bark, not how to bite!"

After saying this, Ge Xiaolun prepared to leave.

What he didn't expect was that Nusa had learned to be smart this time and actually retorted.

"Ge Xiaolun, are you talking about yourself? I see you barking quite happily all the time!"

Facing Nusa's retort.

Ge Xiaolun gave a contemptuous smile.

That's it? That's it?

This retort was as weak as a newborn baby punching itself; it really had no impact.

It seems the national essence I've learned on Earth over these years could greet Nusa for thousands of years!

"Heh!" Ge Xiaolun sneered.

"No, you're wrong, I am a person without class."

"You are the dog; as for what kind of dog, you can choose for yourself, no one is going to fight you for it anyway!"

Having said that, Ge Xiaolun spread his wings and left.

Leaving Nusa stunned on the spot.

What?

There's actually such a move! Why didn't I think of that?!

Damn Ge Xiaolun!

Nusa gritted his teeth in anger, unable to help but recall when Ge Xiaolun first arrived.

At that time, Ge Xiaolun was cowardly to the extreme, but after just a few days, he suddenly became a different person.

He became extremely stubborn, starting to greet others or drawing his sword to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Sigh, the Ge Xiaolun from back then was better.

Back then, he was truly easy to bully!

Time flew by, and another month passed.

The cleanup of near-Earth asteroids on Earth's side had reached the final stage.

As long as these few near-Earth asteroids, which were close to the size of dwarf planets, were shattered and transported back to Earth, the job would be completely finished.

Afterward, the dwarf planets could be cleared, and once the dwarf planets were also cleared, the initial Asteroid Defense System could be built near the border of Pluto.

This would prevent any other asteroids from entering the Solar System.

Just as everything was in full swing, Ye Cang, who was in space, received a message from the Underground Scientific Research Base on Earth.

"Special metal discovered, return immediately."

Special metal?

Ye Cang raised an eyebrow; how special could it be?

He immediately returned to Earth and headed straight for the Underground Scientific Research Base.

Kaisha remained in space, continuing to deploy the next steps of the operation.

"Chief Engineer, please follow me."

As soon as Ye Cang arrived at the Underground Scientific Research Base, a researcher led him to the laboratory.

Upon reaching the laboratory, a Heavenly Craftsman who could hear the Material Whisper hurried forward.

"Chief Engineer, you've finally come!"

"Please, take a look."

As he spoke, he handed a silver metal contained in a transparent jar to Ye Cang.

"This is a brand-new material we discovered among the planetary fragments brought back from space."

"The hardness of this material is even greater than our existing Ceramic Steel, and it is even more lightweight!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang immediately became interested.

Up until now, the only metal harder than Ceramic Steel was Dark Su Silver.

However, the material known as Dark Su Silver is not at all suitable for making Power Armor; it is only suitable for making weapons or serving as a coating for weapons.

He took this piece of silver metal, which was about one cubic centimeter in size, out of the jar.

Ye Cang examined it carefully and felt it looked very familiar, as if he had seen the same metal somewhere before.

But for a moment, he could not quite recall.

Thus, Ye Cang did not overthink it and continued to examine the silver metal piece.

Judging by its appearance, this piece of silver metal looked a bit like silver or perhaps a material like aluminum, but if one looked closely, one would find it was completely different from both.

First is the texture, and second is the cross-section.

If one were to mix all three together, even an ordinary person would be able to pick out this silver metal from the three immediately.

After finishing his observation, Ye Cang put on the glove portion of his Power Armor.

He then used all his strength and squeezed down hard.

When he let go, he saw that the shape of this silver metal block had only changed slightly; other than that, there was no significant difference from before.

It was evident that its load-bearing capacity was extremely outstanding.

"Hmm? Interesting!"

Ye Cang placed the silver metal block back into the jar.

"Have you tested what the melting point of this metal is?"

A researcher nearby immediately replied.

"We have tested it; it is approximately 【number missing in source】°C, and it also possesses very good thermal insulation, while simultaneously having good energy conductivity."

"Judging from these two points alone, this is a very excellent material."

"【number missing in source】°C melting point?" A flash of surprise appeared in Ye Cang's eyes.

"With such a high melting point, how did you melt and extract it, and how did you discover this metal?"

This Tiangong pushed up his glasses.

"This is very simple; I can hear the whispers of materials. Among a crowd of materials, this one speaks very little. Those talkative materials, after we examined them, were all common materials."

"But this is a material discovered by humanity for the first time. Besides this, we have already conducted some simple tests on it."

"It can withstand attacks from a Dark Su Yin Weapon, though this material is not very suitable for making weapons."

It can withstand attacks from a Dark Su Yin Weapon?

It was starting to get interesting.

One must know that even Ceramic Steel cannot withstand the attacks of a Dark Su Yin Weapon.

"How much of this new material have you extracted so far?" Ye Cang asked.
