Chapter 121 Discovery of Isotopic Polymer Metal Minerals
"Boss! I've found something!"
Three days after Duan Ming returned to the Fire Rock Beast, he finally discovered the few core areas left in this mining area.
Duan Ming established a new group in the Duan family, called the scientific research group, which is responsible for the development of rare metals and weapons and equipment, with Bai Xianglu as the group leader.
Taking the scientific research team aboard the Death Battleship, Duan Ming and others flew to the area where they had discovered something.
Seeing the blue metal ore, even Bai Xianglu took a breath.
"This, this is a homopolymer!"
This is an extremely hard metal ore. To be precise, it is an object between a metal and a metal mixture, suitable for making armor or exploring the outer shell of an aircraft.
Duan Ming walked to Bai Xianglu and raised his hand out of habit, wanting to pat her shoulder, but his hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall.
"The next few days will be very hard on you."
Bai Xianglu smiled, with a hint of bitterness in her smile. Ever since Duan Ming came back from Earth Star, she had always deliberately kept the distance between them.
"Don't worry, this is what our scientific research team should do."
Under the leadership of Bai Xianglu, the people in the scientific research team have put on tri-titanium alloy armor. With them joining the family, the production speed of tri-titanium alloy armor has increased several times. Now the family already has more than fifty pieces of armor.
The members of the scientific research team flew out of the battleship and wore tri-titanium alloy armor, allowing them to move freely in space, just like on the Fire Rock Beast.
"The isopolymer metal ore roughly weighs about twelve tons. It will take our scientific research team at least seven days to mine them all."
In the family voice chat group, Bai Xianglu's report sounded.
Duan Ming frowned. According to the plan, the Fire Rock Beast would leave this area in five days and go to the new mining area that the insect girl had found.
"Can the time be shortened? The family can send additional manpower to your scientific research team to help."
After Bai Xianglu was silent for a moment, she gave her unquestionable answer as the chief weapon development expert of the Duan family.
"No! The texture of isopolymer metal is very different from ordinary rare metals. If you are not careful, the entire metal mine will be destroyed. Non-professionals must not get started!"
At this time, Bai Xianglu's voice sounded more like the head of the Duan family than Duan Minglai.
"Xianglu, if it exceeds five days, the following plans will be disrupted. How about we give up some?"
Duan Ming discussed with Bai Xianglu. Bai Xianglu, who had just arrived near the isopolymer metal mine, did not give Duan Ming any face.
"Give up? Do you know how many mechas can be made with so many homopolymer metal ores!"
Duan Ming was also stunned when he heard the word "mecha". When he was studying at Dixing College, the college had a special mecha major.
Although the power of mechas cannot be compared with that of battleships, they are better because they can be operated by a single person and are extremely flexible. Their maneuverability is several times stronger than that of battleships. A well-equipped and well-trained mecha regiment can often Determine the direction of a war.
"How about we give up some and make less mechas?"
Duan Ming still didn't want to change his next schedule because of this homopolymer.
"Wood! This matter is not negotiable!"
Unexpectedly, Bai Xianglu didn't give Duan Ming any room for negotiation. She hung up the family voice chat group after leaving such a sentence.
"Boss, your family's status is not guaranteed!"
"Boss, please be patient for now and teach Team Leader Bai a lesson tonight!"
Listening to the teasing of the members in the family voice chat group, Duan Ming sighed helplessly. Only Bai Xianglu dared to talk to him like this in the family chat group.
After looking at the scientific research team that had already started mining, Duan Ming took another battleship and returned to the Fire Rock Beast, leaving the Death Battleship there and becoming a transportation tool for the scientific research team.
The battleship landed on the back of the fire rock beast. As soon as he got off the battleship, Duan Ming saw Tang Yaqing walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that you would be depressed sometimes."
Tang Yaqing was naturally referring to Bai Xianglu's attitude towards Duan Ming just now, but she couldn't detect the slightest hint of jealousy.
Before returning to the villa, Duan Ming was lying on the rocking chair, with Tang Yaqing gently squeezing his shoulders behind him.
"Ya Qing, you are also the mistress of the family now. You should pay more attention to the lives of the members."
After hearing what Duan Ming said, Tang Yaqing paused and asked subconsciously: "What do you mean..."
"Among the family members, only a handful of us are married. We can't just care about our own happiness. If you see someone who is suitable, you can help match them up, especially Xianglu. She is a girl."
As soon as Duan Ming finished speaking, he felt a pain in his neck. He turned his head and looked at Tang Yaqing who pinched him with anger.
"Xianglu is right, you are just a piece of wood!"
With these words behind her, Tang Yaqing turned around and walked back to the villa.
Duan Ming raised his hand and rubbed his neck, murmuring to himself.
"What two sisters-in-law!"
This sentence happened to be heard clearly by the insect girl. She shook the two short beards on her head and walked up to Duan Ming.
"Master, is your aunt coming? Then what should I call her? Grandma?"
The muscles at the corners of Duan Ming's mouth trembled slightly, yes! He also missed one, it was three!
…
That night, the members of the research team did not return to the Fire Rock Beast. Instead, they took turns to rest according to Bai Xianglu's request and mined the isotopic polymer metal ore overnight, aiming to shorten the mining time as much as possible.
Before resting, Duan Ming received a voice call from the head of the Tang family on Earth.
"At your wedding with Yaqing, several families and companies that agreed to set up branches at the Duan family's Star Beast Base have sent people to your Star Beast Base and are expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon."
Duan Ming understood what the head of the Tang family meant. This was to make him prepare well and leave a good impression on them so as to facilitate this matter as soon as possible.
After calculating the time, the weapons and equipment purchase list that he gave to Xingya Group when he left Earth must also be delivered tomorrow.
An idea came to Duan Ming's mind. Perhaps he could just follow the process of receiving weapons and equipment this time to let the inspectors sent by the family feel the strength of the Duan family.
The next day, Duan Ming got up early and washed up simply. Just as he walked out of the villa, a loud noise sounded in the mining area in the distance, and the alarm sounded in the family voice chat group!
This is a device specially set up for the safety of family members. When the alarm sounds, it means that a family member is in danger.
"Boss, it's bad! There was an explosion in the mining area!"
