Chapter 30 Discovery of Unknown Metal!

The account transfer was successful. After saying goodbye to Bai Xianglu, Duan Ming instructed the Fire Rock Beast to move forward along the mining area.

He was not going to go back to the previous area, which had been almost eaten by the Fire Rock Beast. He wanted to find a new "store" to change the taste of the Fire Rock Beast.

With the help of the insect girl's exploration module talent, the Fire Rock Beast came to a brand new area in the mining area. There were fewer broken ores on the periphery, and the quality of the metal ore was higher the further inside.

Watching the worker bees start working again, Duan Ming also studied the two 125mm caliber rail turrets.

Where is the best place to put them?

The cnidarian turrets and laser turrets existed at the beginning. At that time, the body length of the Fire Rock Beast was not so large, so they were placed on the base side. With the defense measures in the middle, it was time to reinforce the two sides.

On the back of the Fire Rock Beast on both sides, there was a rail turret on each side. In this way, the Fire Rock Beast had no blind spots for defense.

...

Lying on the rocking chair, Duan Ming opened the chat area.

"Does anyone know the price of a small spaceship?"

This time it was a short-distance move. If the distance was longer, it would be better to use a small spaceship instead of relying on the Fire Rock Beast.

Not long after, there was a reply in the chat area: "Small spaceship? It would cost at least seven digits of star coins to buy it. Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue bitten by the wind!"

Duan Ming didn't want to show off, but seeing that this reply was full of targeting, he had to do it.

"Hey! Seven digits? Then I can only get a few to play with at most!"

After closing the chat area casually, Duan Ming got up and came to the interstellar computer. The second scientific research project he took on some time ago has already produced results.

"On the importance of super-ore-loving to mineral compressors."

This is not a special topic, but at this stage, Duan Ming is the only pioneer who can get in touch with mineral compressors, so he became the first person to try it out.

The research results were sent to the Earth Star Research Institute, and the institute was shocked again!

"This guy is a genius for proposing a mineral compressor made entirely of super-ore-loving materials!"

"He also said that if this mineral compressor is really developed, it might be possible to try to compress extremely hard rare metal ores. If this is really achieved, the transportation cost of rare metal ores will be greatly reduced in the future!"

Duan Ming, who was far away in the universe, did not expect that his random suggestions would be taken so seriously by the experts and professors at the research institute...

Three days later, the broken ore in this area had been completely devoured by the fire rock beast, and in the deeper part, the worker bees discovered an unknown metal mine.

After being devoured by the fire rock beast and refined by the mineral processing center, this unknown metal mine was in front of Duan Ming.

Sent a video call invitation to Tang Yaqing, and Tang Yaqing's smiling face appeared on the other side in a moment.

"Duan Ming, you are famous again, do you know?"

Duan Ming was stunned. Before he could ask, Tang Yaqing continued: "The Institute of Geo-Union has appointed you as a non-staff researcher! You are now a public servant!"

According to Tang Yaqing's story, the institute thought that Duan Ming's report was very feasible, so it gave him such a nominal title and asked him to develop a mineral compressor entirely from super-fermented minerals.

The most important thing is that the institute will not give him any material support, only verbal encouragement.

Duan Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, thinking in his heart: "It's a laborious and unpleasant thing, and you throw it to me? Dream on!"

Direct the video to the metal mines in this location.

"Do you collect this kind of metal mine?"

This is the real purpose of Duan Ming looking for Tang Yaqing.

After a moment of silence, Tang Yaqing's voice came: "Take a part and compress it with a mineral compressor."

According to Tang Yaqing, five minutes later, this unknown metal mine compressed by the mineral compressor appeared in the video.

"Huh? This seems to be a metal mine that my grandfather has seen. It's not very clear in the video. Send me the coordinates and I'll go there now."

After hanging up the call, Duan Ming was in a good mood. Tang Yaqing was willing to come in person, which proved that this batch of metal mines was of great value. He should be able to make a lot of money again!

Looking at the insect girl who was sweeping the floor with a broom: "Insect girl, you do these trivial things every day, don't you feel bored?"

The insect girl stopped and turned to look at Duan Ming.

"I will do whatever the master tells me to do."

Duan Ming smiled, and a trick to tease the insect girl appeared in his mind.

Walking in front of the insect girl, looking her up and down, Duan Ming said: "Why don't I tell you a marriage? Tell me, what kind of creatures do you insects like?"

The insect girl was startled. From her expression, she was really shocked by Duan Ming's words.

"Marriage? What is a marriage?"

Duan Ming's mouth corners were raised more obviously, and he whispered something close to the insect girl's ear.

The next moment, the insect girl's ears turned red, and her two short whiskers stood up straight.

"The insect girl doesn't want anyone else, she just wants to stay with her master!"

...

Tang Yaqing's spaceship was parked on the back of the Fire Rock Beast. After getting off the spaceship, Tang Yaqing squatted on the ground and carefully observed the metals in these locations, muttering: "Like, it really looks like..."

Standing up, looking at Duan Ming: "How much of this kind of metal ore do you have?"

Duan Ming flashed past and raised his hand to point to the mining area in the distance: "How much, I can refine and compress as much as I have."

Looking around, the whole area was full of such unknown metal mines. Even Tang Yaqing, who had seen the world, couldn't help but take a breath.

After a while, Tang Yaqing gave her price.

"For every cubic meter of compressed metal, I will give you one million star coins, as much as you want!"

This price is more than ten times higher than the previous metal mine.

Squinting his eyes, Duan Ming asked: "What kind of metal is this?"

Tang Yaqing's expression was a little hesitant.

"I can't tell you this, because it involves the secret of our Tang family."

Secret? Isn't the secret of the Tang family the superpower of metal exploration and control?

After thinking for a long time, Duan Ming said: "It can be seen that this metal is a good thing. I believe that in addition to your Tang family, other big families must be interested in it?"

Waiting for the price to sell is the most basic means of doing business, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Tang Yaqing looked a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Well, if I am sure that these metals are indeed the kind our family is looking for, I can make three empty promises to you on behalf of grandpa!"

The empty promise of the Tang family means that when Duan Ming needs it, he can make three requests to the Tang family, and the other party cannot refuse.

Duan Ming is very satisfied with this condition.

"Okay, you take the metal back, and I will continue to refine and compress it. I will wait for your news."
