Chapter 148： Associated Stone

The sooner the ore is found, the sooner the research on the advanced mimic mech can begin, and the journey to the resource star cannot be delayed. The two asked their respective head teachers for leave, and boarded the spacecraft to Resource Star early the next morning.

Three days later, the two arrived at Resource Star, and they didn't care about rest and adjustment. They rented a local off-road mining vehicle and set off.

"According to our speed, it will take two days to drive to the place you said." Yan Hao held a map in his hand. Someone on the map marked the names of many minerals in black fonts, densely packed almost all over. A small half of the map is exactly the one that Sheng Heng hand-painted after using his mental power to detect it.

"Xiao Hao, you go to the back and sleep for a while. I'll just drive by myself." As soon as he got off the spaceship, Yan Hao's physique was not as good as him, and Sheng Heng was afraid he would be tired.

"I'm not sleepy yet." Yan Hao.

"Then go to rest later when you are sleepy." Sheng Heng did not force him.

"Okay." Yan Hao nodded his head, lowered his head and continued to look at the map, his gaze swept over every font written by Sheng Heng himself. Those fonts seemed to glow, one by one lit up, illuminating his. Starry sky.

Yan Hao secretly glanced at Sheng Heng and saw that he was looking ahead intently. He carefully turned on the camera function of the light brain and took a photo of the map in his hand and sent it to He Shao.

After a while, He Shao’s news came back, and his words were full of excitement: [I go, I go, Hao, as expected, you are the best to me. With this map, it’s easy when I go to Resource Star One hundred times, did the resident officer of Resource Star give it to you? 】

Yan Hao: [No, it was given to me by the senior. 】

He Shao: [The guards of the resource star belong to the God of War Corps? 】

Yan Hao: [No, this map was used to detect the earth veins with mental power when the senior came last time and marked it out with his own hands. 】

He Shao: 【……】

He Shao: [I thought you gave me the map to help your classmates, but was it just to show affection? 】

Yan Hao saw the three words Xiu Enai, his eyebrows curled, and he glanced at Sheng Heng quietly. Seeing that he was not looking here, he continued typing: [He Shao, when the senior came to Resource Star last time, I paid Did not confess to him, but he helped me draw this map. You said, did he like me at that time? 】

He Shao: [I am in class. 】

He Shao can't talk anymore. It's already miserable to be fed dog food. Do you want him to help collect dog food?

Yan Hao did not continue to disturb He Shao. He raised his head and looked out of the car, comparing it with the map in his hand from time to time. Every time he reached a place marked on the map, his eyes would shine brightly, and then he used his light brain to shoot. a photo. At the beginning of the period, Sheng Heng didn't feel any abnormality. It wasn't until three consecutive times that Sheng Heng had passed the marked ground on the map when Sheng Heng reacted fiercely. But he didn't break it either, but his mood suddenly rose, as if the yellow sand outside the car had turned into spring rain, lingering and intoxicating.

The car approached the destination in the evening of the next day, and the two got out of the car and stood on a hill looking far away.

"That's where the phantom beast was discovered." Sheng Heng pointed to a forest not far away.

"The phantom beast likes to devour mental power, and this kind of ore will also absorb mental power. These two will not be associated." Yan Hao suddenly came up with a bold conjecture.

"It's possible." Sheng Heng nodded in agreement, "At that time, I just wanted to find out if there are any rare ores nearby. When the spiritual power swept across that area, the spiritual power was absorbed. But the intensity was not strong. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and coupled with the sudden appearance of the phantom beast, I completely forgot about it. If it hadn't been for the spiritual power that was also absorbed in the laboratory that day, I really can't remember it."

"Let's go digging and digging." Yan Hao said, he was about to run forward.

"Wait a minute, I'll explore it first, and find a place with a lot of ore to dig." As he said, Sheng Heng released his mental power, like an invisible net thrown toward that area.

Yan Hao could clearly perceive Sheng Heng's mental power, and the more he perceives, the more frightened he is. Because, it was also an S-level mental power, and his mental power was not even a bit worse than Sheng Heng. Even with the mental power he is proud of, he thinks he can't be as sophisticated as Sheng Heng. So when Sheng Heng finished exploring the surface and regaining his spiritual power, he met Yan Hao's admiration and admiration.

"Senior, you are amazing." Yan Hao said sincerely, "It's also an S-level mental power, I'm far worse than you."

There is a man in the world who doesn't like to be praised by people he likes. Sheng Heng raised his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "It's better to practice more. I will teach you later."

"Yeah." Yan Hao really wants to learn. According to his design, the main part of the advanced mimic mecha will be made of this special mineral that can absorb mental power. I want to make this kind of mineral into mecha parts. , Requires very strong mental power and control.

"I found a place with high ore content, and we went to dig it."

The two came down from the hillside and drove to the place Sheng Heng had just sensed. This off-road vehicle itself has a mining function. After determining the position, Sheng Heng switched to the mining mode, and a long mechanical arm with a digging device immediately stretched out from the bottom of the vehicle.

The ore was buried deep in the ground, and the two of them had only one mining vehicle. The vehicle practiced digging deeply for eight hours before revealing a dark ore.

Sheng Heng hugged Yan Hao and jumped down from the entrance of the hole. As soon as Yan Hao landed, he took out a test tool from his backpack and collected data for the continuous testing of the black style. Then he imported the collected data into the optical brain to perform calculations and calculations to obtain the final value of the ore after purification. Then, compare this set of values ​​with the ore Pang Lao gave him to get the final match.

Yan Hao calculated it three times in a row to make the matching degree of the values ​​reach 90%.

"90%, it seems correct, it is this kind of ore." Sheng Heng was relieved for a while, but fortunately his perception was correct.

"But the purification rate is too low." Yan Hao was a little disappointed.

"One-thousandth?" Sheng Heng also saw a value in the upper left corner of the screen at this time, a purification rate of one-thousandth, which means that it takes a thousand pieces of ore of the same size to purify a piece of Pang Lao and give it to Yan. Hao's kind of ore.

Sheng Heng roughly estimated all the ore that he had just felt in this area. If calculated at a purification rate of one-thousandth, this piece of ore might only be able to make one arm of the mecha.

"Let's look for it again. This kind of ore can be found here, and other planets must also have it." Sheng Heng said.

"Even if it has, how do you find it? And if it has, why hasn't anyone discovered it for so many years." Yan Hao was not as confident as Sheng Heng.

"I was able to find these minerals by accident. If I hadn't used my mental power to explore the veins, I would not have found them here. People didn't find them before because they all used instruments to explore. The Federation has more than 100 resource stars, and I will find them one by one. Go and explore, you will definitely find it." Sheng Heng said.

Only high-level mental powers can detect mineral veins from the ground, and this matter is still kept secret to the outside world, and there is no way to ask for help, so Sheng Heng has to go by himself.

"How long does it take?" Sheng Heng only explored less than a quarter of the resource stars last time and spent a week, plus the time to and from the planet, the recovery time of mental power, one hundred planets, at least It will take ten years to complete.

"If you can make a high-level mimic mech, it's okay to waste some time." Sheng Heng didn't care much.

"But even if I found all the materials, I'm not sure I can do it." Yan Hao said.

"I believe you can." Sheng Heng has a blind trust in Yan Hao, but he doesn't want to put too much pressure on Yan Hao. "It doesn't matter if you can't. Isn't scientific research just the progress of generations? Just like you are It was only after Zhong Lao’s inspiration that he modified the Black Soul. Your current research on the mimic mecha is an inspiration for the future. I believe that one day you will make a tenth-level mimic mecha."

"Yeah." Yan Hao nodded heavily.

"We first notify the base to mine." Sheng Heng sent a communication to the base and asked them to come over to mine the ore.

After the excavator from the base came over, he asked Yan Hao to accompany the mining excavation by himself. He drove the black soul and flew around the resource star one more time. It took half a month and carefully explored the other resource stars. The location, but unfortunately no similar veins have been found.

The content of this special ore vein is not large. The large excavator at the base only took three days to complete the excavation. When Sheng Heng returned to the base after the exploration, even a small part of the ore had been purified. The two did not wait until all the ore was purified in the resource star before leaving, but only took a part and returned to the capital star, and the rest would be submitted to the federation after all the purification, and then the federation would give it to old man Pan.

Pang Lao Zai knew that the purification rate of the ore was only one thousandth, and that the entire resource star’s ore could only make one mecha arm. He was also a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted it and tried to analyze the composition of the ore in order to make one. This type of instrument was specially used to detect this kind of ore, but unfortunately, he and Yan Hao studied together for a month, but couldn't find the particularity of this kind of ore.

"Is it really only possible to find it with mental power?" In the past month, they have tried various methods and found that if this ore is not perceived by mental power, it will be displayed as abandoned ore no matter what equipment is used. Moreover, even if you use mental power to perceive, you must be above A+ to perceive it.

"This ore is too picky to eat, how can it be like a phantom beast." Old Pang couldn't help complaining.

"This piece of ore is in the area where the phantom beast is active. At the time, my senior and I wondered if these ores would be the companion stone of the phantom beast." Yan Hao said.

"Wait." Old Pang grasped the key word, "You just said the companion stone?"

"This is just one of our guesses, because the entire resource star only happens to have this kind of ore in the area where the phantom beasts are infested." Yan Hao said.

"Your conjecture is likely to be true." Pang Lao said, "After our testing during this period, the characteristics of these ores are extremely similar to those of the phantom beast."

"But wouldn't it mean there is no ore?" Yan Hao said.

"Why?"

"Because the phantom beasts are almost extinct, and the rest are in the Federal National Park, and the phantom beasts have been kept in the national park for less than two hundred years, and it is impossible to form ore at all." Yan Hao said.

"The phantom beast is almost extinct, but there is no place where the phantom beast has lived." Pang Lao said.

Yan Hao was taken aback, and then yelled: "Yes, as long as you find a place where the phantom beast haunted hundreds of years ago, it is possible to find this kind of ore, if it is really a companion stone. But how can you know the phantom? Where have spirit beasts haunted before? The Federation erased all this information."

Because the phantom beasts are almost extinct, in order to protect the phantom beasts, the Federation erased all news related to the phantom beasts, including the place where they once inhabited. Now more than two hundred years have passed, and the place where the phantom beast once lived has been There is no record.

"The Federation just kept this part of the secret, but did not erase it." Pang Lao said, "You call old man Zhong and ask him to ask the Federation."

Compared with Pang Lao, Zhong Lao, as the head of the Federal Research Institute, has a closer relationship with the Federation.
