Chapter 843: Strange Ore

Sun Cheng had added another Elite Warrior to his subordinates, and he had been excited about this news for quite some time.

Yet he did not know that almost at the same time Frenzy was changing into a new body, thousands of kilometers away in the remote Arctic Circle, a war between humans and the Decepticons was about to break out.

Nunavut, one of the most sparsely populated provinces in Great Canada.

Because most of it is located within the Arctic Circle, Niusheng is covered by thick snow for the vast majority of the year.

Even when summer arrives, although the snow in some areas melts temporarily, the meltwater makes the land muddy, with swamps and lakes everywhere, greatly limiting human development of the region.

So much so that this land, which hides countless resources beneath it, has only been visited by a very small number of mining companies for long-term development to this day.

Sever, an inconspicuous small town located within Niusheng.

Calling it a small town is not actually accurate.

Because Sever does not appear on Great Canada's administrative planning map at all; it is a temporary settlement established in the last two years following the arrival of a United States gold mining exploration company to prospect for gold ore locally.

Sever is said to mean "land of hope and wealth" in Eskimo, and the purpose of the gold mining exploration company in using it to name the settlement is self-evident.

Those living in this settlement are all employees of the gold mining company, along with some family members who came with them.

Because there are hundreds of people, although it is only a temporary settlement, Sever has a bar and various other living facilities.

During the time from April to October each year, which is suitable for outdoor exploration, it is actually quite lively.

Today, Sever is even more bustling than usual.

Seven transport planes belonging to the United States Army and Air Force landed on the open ground around this temporary settlement.

The sound of the transport planes' huge propellers rotating clearly startled many of the gold mining exploration company workers' families living in Sever, who walked out of their homes one after another to watch the descending transport planes and whisper to each other.

Following the landing of the transport planes, after the cabin doors opened, squads of fully armed United States soldiers quickly filed out from the cabins.

They had no intention of disturbing the nearby residents or driving them away.

Instead, they quickly moved heavy crates out from the transport plane cabins and rapidly set up tents on the open ground dozens of meters away.

"What's the situation?"

"Not sure, could it be that they discovered a uranium mine?"

"Who knows!"

Amidst the discussions, several middle-aged men and women wearing suits and white lab coats were the last to step down from the transport plane.

At the same time, the person in charge of the gold mining exploration company, who had already been notified, a short and stout middle-aged white man wearing a yellow hard hat, hurried up to meet them.

"May I ask if you are Major Cohen?"

A middle-aged white officer who was whispering with several middle-aged men and women in suits and white lab coats turned around upon hearing this.

Seeing the short, stout man in the hard hat, he nodded: "I am Major Cohen, you must be Mr. Maisel!"

Maisel smiled and shook his hand, "Yes, I am indeed the manager of the Carson Wilderness—Maisel. There are too many people here and it's not a place to talk, you all should come with me!"

Major Cohen exchanged glances with the several middle-aged men and women in suits and white lab coats. Seeing them all nod directly and decisively without complaining about wanting to rest, he immediately called over his adjutant and had him arrange two off-road vehicles, while at the same time having the soldiers drive two armored personnel carriers.

After the group quickly got into the vehicles and headed toward their destination, Maisel began to introduce the situation in detail.

"Let me briefly explain what happened here... about three days ago, when we were prospecting for gold in a nearby river valley, we accidentally discovered some very strange reactions... After a team of prospectors cleared and processed that section of the river valley where the reaction occurred, we found some things beneath the valley..."

A man in a suit interrupted: "Is the reserve of that metal you sent to the domestic Laboratory large?"

"Metal?"

Maisel glanced at him, then pushed the hard hat on his head, his expression very strange.

"Do you also think it is a metal?"

A woman in a white lab coat could not suppress her excitement, "Its hardness is sixteen times that of Normal Mode steel, and we discovered that once that ore is formed, only high temperatures can make it deform again; otherwise, any damage caused by squeezing or impact will quickly recover!"

"It is undoubtedly a metal, and one we have never discovered before, and very likely a metallic meteorite that does not exist on Earth at all, but fell to Earth a long time ago!"

Maisel opened his mouth, then shook his head.

The woman in the white lab coat was a bit unhappy and asked urgently: "So what is the situation over there? Is there a lot of this metal ore?"

"Is there a lot?"

Maisel took off his hard hat, and seeing that everyone in the vehicle had their eyes focused on him, he revealed a strange smile.

"You will know very soon!"

The off-road vehicle was not driving very fast, but because the location where the strange ore was found was not far from Sever, the group arrived at their destination after a dozen minutes.

It was a very common river valley within Niusheng. When the group arrived, at an opening at one end of the valley, several security personnel from the gold mining exploration company were standing there on guard with firearms.

Seeing the military insignia, the security personnel did not block them and let them pass directly.

After the convoy went through the bumps at the opening and entered the river valley below, when Maisel signaled the driver to stop, he was the first to get out of the vehicle.

The others followed him out of the vehicle and walked behind him toward something wrapped in canvas that was suspected to be a huge rock.

There, four security personnel holding shotguns and semi-automatic weapons were vigilantly patrolling back and forth around the huge object covered by the canvas.

Seeing Maisel and the others coming over, one of them walked up, "Boss, according to orders, no one has approached!"

Maisel nodded, "Good work, you all go back and rest, there is nothing for you here anymore!"

"Okay!"

After dismissing the gold mining exploration company's own security personnel, Maisel walked quickly to the canvas, grabbed a corner of the canvas that had fallen to the ground, and then looked back at the group, the strange smile on his face becoming even more intense.

"Are you all ready?"

Seeing everyone either nodding or looking impatient.

He smiled and yanked the canvas, throwing it to the other side.

As the canvas was pulled away, a huge silver-gray object quickly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The moment they saw it, gasps and intakes of breath followed one after another.

"Oh, my God!"

"What... what is this thing?"

"f**k..."

Maisel watched everyone's reactions with pride; he naturally knew exactly what had caused the changes in their expressions.

Because hidden beneath the canvas was, shockingly, the skeleton of a gigantic monster!

The piece of ore he had sent to the domestic mineral materials Laboratory, which had been thought to be metal, had come from the skeleton of this monster.
