National Development: I built a base on the rock beast - Chapter 121
Chapter 121 Discovery of Isotopic Metal Minerals
“Boss! There’s a discovery!”
Three days after Duan Ming returned to the Fire Rock Beast, he finally made some discoveries in the few remaining core areas of the mining area.
Duan Ming set up a new team in the Duan family, called the Research Team, which is responsible for the research and development of rare metals and weapons and equipment, with Bai Xianglu as the team leader.
Duan Ming and others boarded the Death Battleship with the members of the research team and flew to the area where the discovery was made.
Even Bai Xianglu took a breath of cold air when she saw the blue metal ore.
“This, this is an isotopic aggregate!”
This is a very hard metal ore. To be precise, it is an object between metal and metal mixture, suitable for making armor or exploring the shell of an aircraft.
Duan Ming walked to Bai Xianglu’s side, habitually raised his hand, wanting to pat her shoulder, but his hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall after all.
“I’ll have to work hard for you in the next few days.”
Bai Xianglu smiled, with a hint of bitterness in her smile. Since Duan Ming came back from Earth, he always deliberately kept a distance between the two.
“Don’t worry, this is what our research team should do.”
Under Bai Xianglu’s leadership, the members of the research team put on tri-titanium armor. With them joining the family, the manufacturing speed of tri-titanium armor has increased several times. At present, the family already has more than 50 pieces of armor.
The members of the research team flew out of the warship, wearing tri-titanium armor, so that they can still move freely in space, just like on the fire rock beast.
“There are about twelve tons of isotopic aggregate metal ore. Our research team needs at least seven days to mine them all.”
Bai Xianglu’s report sounded in the family voice chat group.
Duan Ming frowned. According to the plan, the fire rock beast will leave this area in five days and go to the new mining area found by the insect girl.
“Can the time be shortened? The family can send more people to help your research team.”
After a moment of silence, Bai Xianglu gave her unquestionable answer as the chief weapons research expert of the Duan family.
“No! The texture of isotopic polymer metal is very different from that of ordinary rare metals. If you are not careful, the entire metal mine will be destroyed. Non-professionals are not allowed to start!” At this time, Bai Xianglu’s voice was more like the head of the Duan family than Duan Ming. “Xianglu, if it takes more than five days, the following plan will be disrupted. How about we give up some?” Duan Ming discussed with Bai Xianglu. Bai Xianglu, who had just arrived near the isotopic polymer metal mine, did not give Duan Ming any face. “Give up? Do you know how many mechas can be made with so many isotopic polymer metal mines!” Duan Ming was also stunned when he heard the word “mecha”. When he was studying at the Earth Star Academy, the academy had set up a mecha major. Although the power of mechas cannot be compared with that of battleships, they can be operated by a single person, and they are extremely flexible and maneuverable. They are several times stronger than battleships. A well-equipped and well-trained mecha regiment can often influence the direction of a war. “How about we give up some and make fewer mechas?”
Duan Ming still didn’t want to change his next schedule because of this isotope aggregate.
“Wood! This matter is not negotiable!”
Unexpectedly, Bai Xianglu didn’t give Duan Ming any room for negotiation. After leaving this sentence, she hung up the family voice chat group.
“Boss, your family status is not guaranteed!”
“Boss, bear it for now, and I will teach Team Leader Bai a lesson in the evening!”
Listening to the ridicule 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.
Looking at the research team that had already started mining, Duan Ming took another battleship and returned to the Fire Rock Beast, leaving the Death Battleship there as a transportation tool for the 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.
“I didn’t expect that you would also be frustrated.”
Tang Yaqing was referring to Bai Xianglu’s attitude towards Duan Ming just now, but there was no jealousy in her.
Back in front of the villa, Duan Ming lay on the rocking chair, and Tang Yaqing gently pinched his shoulders behind him.
“Yaqing, you are now the mistress of the family. You should pay more attention to the lives of the members.”
Hearing Duan Ming say this, Tang Yaqing paused and asked subconsciously: “What do you mean…”
“Among the family members, only a very few of us have started a family. We can’t just care about our own happiness. If you see someone suitable, you can help match them up, especially Xianglu, who is a girl.”
Duan Ming just finished speaking, and felt a pain in his neck. He turned his head and looked at Tang Yaqing who pinched him with a little anger.
“Xianglu is right, you are just a piece of wood!”
Leaving this sentence, Tang Yaqing turned and walked back to the villa.
Duan Ming raised his hand to rub his neck, muttering to himself.
“Two young aunts!” This sentence happened to be heard clearly by the insect girl. She shook the two short whiskers on her head and walked in front of Duan Ming. “Master, is your aunt coming? What should I call her? Grandma?” The muscles at the corners of Duan Ming’s mouth trembled twice. Oh! He forgot one, it’s 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 in 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!”
