At the same time, Tianjing City, outskirts, National Security Zone.
The mysterious middle-aged man was sitting in the Bureau Chief Wu Diβs office, legs crossed and leisurely drinking tea.πππ¦β―πeπnovππ. πππΊ
The head of Heavenly Stateβs National Security Bureau, Bureau Chief Wu Di, was giving him the latest updates.
βThe composition of the metallic meteorite we found underground has been analyzed.β The Bureau Chief stood in front of the mysterious man beaming with delight as he reported. βThis metallic meteorite is really good! Very good! I didnβt expect us to be able to gain so much from it!β
βOh? Thatβs not bad.β The mysterious man smiled as he sipped his tea, asking, βWhat kind of metals is it made up of? Rare metals? Special metals? Precious metals?β
At this time, the Bureau Chiefβs expression was very animated and was grinning from ear to ear. He looked ecstatic. βItβs Adamantium! Sixty tons of Adamantium!β
Puuβ!!!
With his status, the mysterious man had to be careful even with the head of the National Security Bureauβs Chief Bureau Wu Di. But when he heard that, tea spurt out of his mouth!
Adamantium was a rare metal, but its uses were limitless!
Adamantium was not a metal belonging to this world. This metal could only fall from the Universe as a meteorite. And only a metallic meteorite could possibly contain Adamantium.
Adamantium became indestructible when mixed with carbon alloy. It was the strongest metal in the world!
Adamantium first appeared in a crater in Chicago, USA, and was discovered by the Merika government in 1958.
Subsequently, Merika scientists were surprised that Adamantium ore showed no signs of melting even at a high temperature of 500,000Β°C during the smelting process. Its chemical structure had always been a top-secret of the Merika government.
It was no exaggeration to say that any national treasure would look dull when compared with Adamantium.
Humans had no way of finding out how strong this meal was. It was only recorded universally that Adamantium was stronger than diamonds.
In the decades that followed, Merika had always tried to replicate this metal. If successful, their military strength would advance in a manner that no human could imagine. But they had never managed to do it. Natural Adamantium was scarceβonly Merika owned about one to two kilograms of it.
And now the Bureau Chief said that the meteorite that Hong Dali found contained sixty tons of Adamantium?!
βThe meteorite is sixty tons of Adamantium?!β The mysterious man stared with his mouth wide open. βMy God, only Merika has ever found Adamantium, and its chemical structure has always been a top-secret of the Merika government. We have found nothing after so many years of probing. Now you say that the meteorite that Hong Dali found was of Adamantium?! All sixty tons of it?!β
βYes, Big Boss.β The Bureau Chief was exhilarated. To be able to see the Big Boss, who always kept a straight face regardless of what happened, spurt out tea, the Bureau Chief was elated. βYes, the same Adamantium. Our laboratory technicians have done multiple tests. It should be accurate.β
βGood! Hahahaha! Good!β The Big Boss of the entire Heavenly State, the mysterious man, laughed out loud. βMerika treated that little bit of Adamantium like a treasure. They even said that although Heavenly State has lots of land and abundant resources, we donβt have anything like that. See who has the last laugh now. Iβm curious to see their expressions after they find out that we found sixty tons of Adamantium!β
βTreasure, Hong Dali is definitely our treasure!β The Bureau Chief nodded his head vigorously. βIn order to find more Adamantium, Merika had turned the entire country upside down. In the end, they only found a few kilograms of it. All we had to do was ask Hong Dali to look around once and he found sixty tons! If they find out, they are sure to vomit blood.β
He wasnβt exaggerating.
If there was sufficient Adamantium, it would have significant usage no matter which technology it was used in. It was just a pity that not much of it had been found. Searching through the entire country, Merika only found a few kilograms of Adamantium.
Looking at Hong Dali… Comparisons were odious!
βBig Boss, the Adamantium, we should…β Although this was a good thing, there were too many implications to this Adamantium. It became Big Bossβ worry as to what to do with the Adamantium. This was not steel which could be easily smelted when it became useless. This stuff has a melting point of 1,500 degrees. Once the desired shape was formed, and one wished to melt it again, the melting point would become 150,000 degrees. It wouldnβt be easy.
βNow that youβve mentioned this, I have no idea what we should do.β The mysterious man stroked his chin and pondered. But he couldnβt think of anything.
To use it for individual combat equipment? That was putting it to petty use. There was quite a large amount of it. Making military satellites? There was no meaning to it, nobody shot satellites for fun. Its make didnβt matter much. Building aircraft carriers? Sixty tons of Adamantium was probably not enough to build the entire aircraft carrier…
βItβs tough, indeed.β The Bureau Chief ran out of ideas.
Adamantium may be rare and precious. Its uses may be limitless, but that was exactly where the problem lied. Using it for anything seemed too petty. Leaving it and not using it was a pity.
Hence, both Big Boss and the Bureau Chief were depressedβanyone else in their shoes would feel the same way.
They felt gloomy for a while before the Bureau Chiefβs eyes suddenly lit up. He asked carefully, βIf we really canβt think of anything, how about we let Hong Dali have it? See what this rascal can come up with?β
βHong Dali?β The mysterious man shook his head decisively. βWe canβt let him have it. At least not now. Itβs not that I donβt bear to, itβs just that Iβm afraid he will put fine timber to petty use. See the things that he does, itβs common for him to do that. If he uses Adamantium to make a whole lot of toys, itβll be too late for us to cry over spilled milk.β
Hearing that, the Bureau Chief was speechless.
He thought carefully. That was quite true. If they handed such a big piece of Adamantium to Hong Dali, and he used it for unimaginable toysβhe shuddered.
βForget it, letβs not think about it for now. Letβs wait for a while and talk about it later.β The mysterious man thought for a while and decided to change the topic. βOh yes, those Dali beans. What is it, exactly? Did you manage to find out?β
βNo.β The Bureau Chief shook his head decisively. βNone of the botanists in the country have ever seen this plant. However, after a chemical analysis of the fruit, it found a very magical element, the molecular structure is very special. The most important thing is that this element has not been seen on Earth before.β
βSo mysterious? Is this element harmful?β The mysterious man had eaten the Dali beans. And Hong Dali ate it as a snack every day. It was natural that he was nervousβIf something happened to him it was still okay. But nothing could happen to Hong Dali!
βNo.β Speaking of the unknown element in the Dali beans, the Bureau Chief had an odd expression on his face. βThis element is actually a kind of fragrance. Thatβs what gives the scent of the Dali beans. Itβs harmless to the human body. In fact, there will be no reaction. But it causes animals to grow bigger in size. Itβs speculated that the huge pangolin in the cave always ate it, thatβs how it grew to its current size.β
βOh, thatβs fine then.β The mysterious man nodded. βAs long as there is no danger ingesting it. Itβs interesting that it makes animals bigger.β The mysterious man laughed and said, βLet Hong Dali continue to have it as snacks, then. Itβs not like we can use it to raise livestock and eat it.β
Speaking up to this point, someone knocked on the door gently. The Bureau Chief said, βCome in, the door is not locked.β
βBureau Chief, Leader,β Mu Huishou pushed open the door gently. βThereβs a Dr. Ai Hui who wishes to see you. He mentioned he managed to successfully research it. Bureau Chief, should I let him in?β
βOh?β Hearing Mu Huishou, the Bureau Chief and the mysterious manβs eyes glimmered. The Bureau Chief anxiously said, βInvite him in, quick!β
Seeing how anxious the Bureau Chief was, Mu Huishou was stunned.
What could cause these two big shots to get so anxious? Of course, that was what he thought but didnβt dare ask. Mu Huishou hurriedly replied, βOkay, Iβll invite him in.β
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a gray trench coat with glasses walked in slowly. He bowed immediately upon seeing the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief. βMy greetings to both leaders.β The middle-aged man held a large briefcase. One could tell it was of good quality, a vast difference from those sold in the shops. In the middle of the briefcase was a retina recognition lock!
βHmm, youβre welcome.β The mysterious man nodded and calmly asked, βDr. Ai Hui, that thing, did you research it successfully?β
βAt the moment, it can only be considered an initial product.β Dr. Ai Hui placed his briefcase on the coffee table and started to open it. The retina recognition lock scanned his retina and opened with a βpiakβ sound.
