Chapter 388: YEARS!!!
This craftsman turned around, picked up another jar from the workbench, and inside the jar was also a one-cubic-centimeter block of silver metal.
"A total of two cubic centimeters, it is all here."
Two cubic centimeters?
This was truly a bit too little, completely insufficient for use; it could only be set aside to look at.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Cang asked again.
"Approximately how long would it take to artificially synthesize this kind of metal?"
The craftsman shook his head: "Currently, these two cubic centimeters of metal are simply not enough to support the subsequent work, if one wants to fully analyze this new material."
"At least 10 cubic centimeters are needed to be sufficient."
The craftsman's answer did not make Ye Cang feel discouraged.
A mere 10 cubic centimeters, this was not a big deal.
One must know that currently, only the asteroids within the Solar System have been cleared; subsequently, those dwarf planets will be cleared, and there will certainly be no shortage of this new metal.
Obtaining 10 cubic centimeters of the new metal was just a matter of time.
With a new goal, Ye Cang prepared to return to space to accelerate the clearing progress and gather these 10 cubic centimeters of new metal as soon as possible.
Once it could be artificially synthesized, this metal would play a tremendous role.
One use was to create brand-new Power Armor, and the other was to build new warships.
He believed that with the addition of this material, the efficiency of the Expedition into the galaxy would once again improve significantly.
Before Ye Cang could take a step, the craftsman called out to him.
"Chief Engineer, please wait a moment."
"This new material does not yet have a name; could you please name it?"
Ye Cang did not refuse, and after pondering for a moment, he thought of a name.
"Since this new material is extremely stable and sturdy, and it looks quite like the metal silver, let's call it Eternal Silver, signifying eternal existence."
"Understood, Chief Engineer!"
Ye Cang nodded, said nothing, turned around, and left the Underground Scientific Research Base.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to space.
Time passed quietly, only this time the elapsed time was not a little bit, but a great deal.
In the blink of an eye, 5 years had actually passed.
That's right, it was 5 years of time.
To tell the truth, even Ye Cang found it hard to believe that Earth had been peaceful for a full 5 years.
During these 5 years, everything was as peaceful as could be, just like before the Taotie appeared.
Ah, strictly speaking, there were still differences.
For example, on Earth in the past, there were many diverse languages, which made people's heads ache to listen to.
But now on Earth, the whole world speaks Huaxia, and there is no second language.
No, that's not right, there is a second language.
That is the White Elephant, which has become an isolated island.
The people inside cannot come out, and the people outside cannot go in.
In fact, the people inside are going crazy wanting to come out, while not a single person outside wants to go in.
According to the latest satellite images, the people of the White Elephant have already started to mutate; Ye Cang couldn't be bothered with the specifics, as long as they couldn't come out, it was fine.
Besides that, the Angels had also started to integrate into Huaxia during these five years; at this time, they were no longer as arrogant as when they first arrived on Earth.
Additionally, in the second year, Earth had already established a Wormhole with Lieyang, and it only took half a day to travel from Lieyang to Earth.
The transformation of the Solar System was also more than half complete.
Those asteroids and dwarf planets within it had all been cleared, and currently, the Angels and Super Soldiers were developing the satellites of the eight major planets in the Solar System.
The development progress was over halfway, numerous resources had been obtained, and the preliminary outer defense line of the Solar System had been built; this line effectively protected against impacts from various asteroids in the Universe.
The Five Great Legions had also expanded once again, and the previously mentioned plan to expand the Five Great Legions into 20 legions had already been partially realized.
Currently, two legions had been added: the Sixth Legion, the Lieyang Legion, led by Di Leina, with most of the legion members being Lieyang residents and a small portion being Earth's Super Soldiers.
The Seventh Legion was a mixed legion of Angels and Demons, jointly led by Morgana and Hexi.
Originally, it should have been led by Kaisha, but Kaisha refused.
The reason was simple: she didn't want to.
However, although Kaisha refused to become a legion commander, she became Ye Cang's personal attendant.
Of course, it was the very proper kind of personal attendant, only responsible for security issues, not responsible for nighttime issues.
Actually, Kaisha had originally wanted to be responsible for nighttime issues, but as soon as this thought appeared, it was directly rejected by Ye Cang.
Besides the expansion of the legions, there was also the equipment of the legions.
The equipment of every legion was brand new, no longer looking as shabby as it did before.
They were supposed to use Power Swords, but ended up only being able to use Chainswords.
Now, the weapons used by the five legions—Qi Lin, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger—were all exclusively Power Weapons.
Aside from melee weapons, there were the ranged weapons; originally, the Super Soldiers' only ranged weapon was the Bolter, and now... it was the same as before, still the Bolter.
It was just that everyone could be issued two Antimatter Bullets, although the ranged weapons of the Vermilion Bird Legion's Super Soldiers were not Bolters, but Thermal Particle Beam Weapons.
The power of this weapon was so great that it could melt Ceramic Steel, and it was now officially in mass production.
The Power Armor worn by the legion commanders themselves was exclusively made of Eternal Silver.
The hardness of Eternal Silver surpassed that of Ceramic Steel, and not only that, but the weight was also significantly lighter than Ceramic Steel.
All the weapons and Power Armor mentioned above were limited to the first five legions.
As for the other two legions, the Solar Flare and the Angel, they just wear ordinary Ceramic Steel Battle Armor; don't ask why, if you ask, well... those who know, know.
And as for the weapons they use...
Hmm... those are quite varied.
Some use weapons from their original civilizations, some use Chainswords, and others use Power Swords; this is mainly based on their personal habits and legion culture.
In short, as long as you don't hinder the battle, you can take whatever weapon you want, even if you go in bare-handed.
Ordinary Super Soldiers wear Ceramic Steel Power Armor with a Constant Silver Coating.
Regarding Constant Silver, after clearing out all the dwarf planets in the Solar System, 9 cubic centimeters of Constant Silver were finally discovered again.
Relying on these 9 cubic centimeters of Constant Silver, the Heavenly Artisans achieved artificial synthesis, thereby allowing for the large-scale arming of all legions.
At the same time, Huaxia currently has plans to form the Eighth Legion.
It is just that this legion is somewhat special, because the people selected for this legion are not from the home provinces of Huaxia, but from the outer provinces of Huaxia.
Regarding these people from the outer provinces, Ye Cang maintains a wait-and-see attitude.
It is no exaggeration to say that regarding these people from the outer provinces, Ye Cang would rather trust the Angels than trust them.
Therefore, after the Eighth Legion is successfully formed, Ye Cang will secretly form a team that will only take orders from himself and the elders.
The name of this team is Heaven Sword.
