The aggregation was rolling above the magma, and the thoughts of several people were constantly refreshed.
If you use the "Hyacinth" firearm to shoot at the metal ball, the metal ball will probably not be knocked out of the magma lake.
On the contrary, the viscous liquid mysterious metal may be scattered by bullets, but it will not end well. Although they will gather together again after a few years or decades, no one can wait that long.
If the water spirit wizard's freezing technique is used, it is also feasible.
But even if the lava around the metal ball could be frozen for just a second, it would be beyond the capabilities of the warlocks.
Of course, it's a different matter if there are mid-to-high-level water magicians.
Among the few people, Wei Ling was the only one who could use water spirit's magic, but Wei Ling thought that it was impossible to freeze lava without the ability of intermediate level or above.
If Wei Ling and Xiao Du make full use of earth spirit magic to condense rock slabs and lay them on the lava lake, and then build footholds one by one in the lava lake, they can get to the lake as quickly as possible before the lava melts the slabs in time. Picking up a metal ball is theoretically possible, but after getting close to the metal ball, what should you use to pick it up?
Its temperature is at least over a thousand degrees.
Shui Ling's magic is not easy to use. For one thing, the moisture in the environment here is basically baked away. Even with a lot of effort, liquid can be condensed. If it comes into contact with the metal ball, it will inevitably cause violent boiling or even explosion.
The wood spirit's spells are even more hopeless. Any wood-attribute spells will disappear under such high temperatures, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.
As for Wei Ling's mental power spells, that's even worse.
His spiritual consciousness has not yet been able to achieve the level of concrete manifestation. He can only interfere with small objects from a distance, not even control. There is really no way to deal with such a large metal ball. According to the density of G205 metal, its weight can be visually measured. It was far beyond Xiao Duhuo's estimate.
For a moment, several people looked at each other, and there was nothing they could think of for the time being.
Because the gas near the magma lake was toxic, although everyone was not afraid, it would definitely be uncomfortable if they stayed for a long time, so they retreated hundreds of meters and everyone sat down to think about the capture strategy.
Then several people thought of several methods, but none of them could withstand scrutiny, which made them feel depressed.
"Oh, think about those crashed vehicles and the lives lost in vain.
Now it seems that even if they don't crash, they still won't be able to get the metal when they get to this place. "
Mangcao rarely felt a little emotional.
Wei Ling was startled, then suddenly smiled and threw out the information package:
"Hey, Mangcao, you are so smart, your information helped me find a way.
Those crashed vehicles, whether civilian or military, will always have a large amount of high-temperature resistant alloy materials. Let's move some of the remaining parts and build a herringbone arch bridge above the magma lake, and then use the magma's Temperature melts other metals. What cannot be melted is the tool we use to pick up metal. "
Xiao Duhuo slapped his thigh:
"Gao, this method is good, you can give it a try!"
So, a few people returned to the slightly empty place before to dismantle the crashed vehicles.
They focused on the federal "Manta Ray" class vehicle.
Both Mangcao Qiancao and Shou Gong were far stronger than ordinary people. They dismantled two pieces of lightweight ship coverings with a length of more than 20 meters, which were intended to be used to build a herringbone arch bridge.
Then the focus was on the barrels and core engines of the energy weapons of the vehicle, and a large number of metal cables were collected for bundling.
After several twists and turns, everyone moved all the required materials to the magma lake.
This time it went very smoothly. Two lightweight hulls were placed opposite each other, and the top ends in the middle were tied with metal cables to form a stable arch bridge.
The metals that were estimated to be high temperature resistant were thrown over the unsolidified magma.
Most of these materials only turned red and did not melt. Mangcao used a big hammer to beat them into two pieces of a spoon-like tool. The back end of this tool also has a long handle several meters long, which is convenient for standing on " Fishing for metal from "Arch Bridge".
The next thing happened naturally. Mangcao and Sheicao stood on each side of the "arch bridge" and used long "spoons" to pick up the rolling metal above the magma.
The metal that was scooped up slowly changed color after the temperature of the magma was cut off, the red color faded, and finally turned into the familiar golden color.
The two carefully carried the lifted metal outside the lake and walked down the arch bridge.
The thing ended perfectly. The only regret was that at least 10% of the metal was immersed in the metal of the two "spoons", which had to be professionally refined before it could be separated again.
But this is not a big problem. Anyway, it is just two more big spoons.
Finally, the cooled metal was put into a pre-prepared wooden packaging box, and the weight exceeded Xiao Duhuo's estimate of 50-150 kilograms. Not counting what penetrated the two "spoons", it exceeded 180 kilograms.
After packing up, the group began to return.
While walking, several people were beaming with satisfaction.
This trip has been very rewarding.
"Brother Welling, my fire of hope that was extinguished before will be rekindled.
Do you know how much our income this time would be if converted into imperial money? "
Welling didn't reply and smiled slightly.
A few days ago, Shou Gong made a slight calculation for the exchange of those three small mining sites. For each kilogram of metal, although the reward given by the empire was lower than that of the black market, it still reached 500,000 yuan. However, the empire also rewarded 20 merit points. .
Imperial money may be obtained through many methods, but merit points are not necessarily so.
At that time the empire rewarded contribution points.
Xiao Duhuo couldn't help but feel happy:
"Needless to say, the four major families' annual income is naturally much higher than this, but for the eight major families, this is not a small amount.
For example, for aristocratic families such as the Zhu family and the Liu family, which do not dominate by wealth and power, their various incomes throughout the year may not be as good as ours this time. "
Wei Ling smiled and nodded at Xiao's joy in living alone.
Although it looks like a huge harvest, how many rich mines can there be in such a unique area that has never been visited by wilderness hunters, pangolins and gold diggers?
Another coincidence is that most of the federal personnel stationed in the nearby Fortress of Doom were researchers who specialized in biogenetic technology and had no interest in exploring the resources that might exist nearby. If they were replaced by ordinary garrison troops, , it is estimated that the metal on the exposed surface has been snatched away long ago.
With so much net worth suddenly increased, Wei Ling and Shou Gong looked at each other with smiles.
After all, you are happy when you make money.
Welling thought for a moment:
"Brother Duhuo, after we return to Kara State, we will see if the Western Expeditionary Army has a way to refine the method of separating the spoon. If not, forget it. You can keep it for yourselves.
The 30% that Ghougong and I left was 10 kilograms for me, put into 10 vials, and reserved for future use by people around me, and the rest was all exchanged for the empire. "
Xiao Duhuo nodded repeatedly:
"Well, there is a way. Among the specialized personnel responsible for collecting metals in the Western Expeditionary Army, there are fire spirit sorcerers with a high level. They can easily melt and separate metals."
"Haha, that's good. Brother Duhuo, I guess you are already a billionaire. What do you think?"
"Hahahaha, I thought life was boring at first, but this harvest has greatly increased my confidence... However, there are not many opportunities like this, one is worth the past five years.
Brother Wei Ling, can we cooperate more in the future? "
Wei Ling's expression slowly became serious, and he sent out a message that only Xiao Duhuo and Shou Gong could receive:
"Brother Duhuo, we can work together again if we have the chance. But you know from the beginning that I have no intention of doing this. I am just making a cameo... There is another question. I hope Brother Duhuo will cooperate. Granny Dan obviously knows Mr. Xiao and has not deleted your memory. .
I will not ask about your relationship with Mr. Xiao, let alone what happened to you and your family back then.
However, please keep my magical abilities a secret and do not mention it to others. This way, the bond between us will be lost. "
Xiao Duhuo nodded solemnly:
"Okay, Brother Wei Ling, even if you don't tell me, I know what's appropriate...how can I tell more lies about someone who can make Mr. Xiao pay attention to him with his spiritual power and even come to rescue him with his wisdom body.
If possible, I would even like to forget it all. "
Xiao Duhuo's smile was a little bitter.
Feeling the bitterness of Xiao's life alone, Wei Ling smiled and shook his head:
"Brother Duhuo is too worried. On General Wang's vehicle that day, Lord Xiao showed how much he valued Granny Dan. At the same time, he said that day that Brother Duhuo was his nephew.
Do you really think that Mr. Xiao’s wisdom came here just to rescue me? Ha ha. "
Xiao Duhuo was stunned.
Yes, Xiao Jingmo is currently the highest-level imperial executive of the Lanling Xiao family, the chief subordinate of Prime Minister Xie Xinyi, the being with the highest level of cultivation in the family, and is also recognized as the smartest being in the family. He has always been Xiao Duhuo's nephew. Even a role model for his grandchildren.
Who can easily guess his thoughts?
After receiving Xiao Duhuo's promise, Wei Ling no longer struggled with the matter.
Of course, he was still worried. The empire's Prime Minister Chang Shi, Lord Xiao Jingmo, also knew almost all of his secrets. This was what made him most uneasy.
There is still a hidden worry in his heart. For a master of Master Xiao's level, if a ray of mental power is attached to his thoughts, there is nothing abnormal about him at all.
Whether Master Xiao can understand everything about himself through this method is unknown.
As for whether Mr. Xiao's "beacon" is still present in his body and mind, no one can tell.
This world is really not friendly enough to people at the bottom.
Fortunately, there is no problem with Welling's recognition of the empire.
If not for this, Wei Ling would probably have trouble sleeping and eating.
The group of people walked and walked, and soon arrived at the small square, and loaded all the various equipment on their backs into the simplified version of "Mountain Ghost" again.
They had no interest in staying any longer, so they continued to move higher up the crack in the ground.
In the depths of the cracks deep in the Abyss of Sighs, there is almost no sunlight, and the group can only judge the date based on the time.
All in all, this is also the second day of entering the cracks in the ground.
Several people were physically strong and did not feel much tired. They would not stop midway and quickly crossed the "line of sky".
When the crack in the blue sky above them grew larger and larger, and finally walked out of the grooved terrain, they appeared in a basin guarded by countless big trees.
After walking out of the abyss of sighs, everyone felt as if they were in a dream.
