No matter from any angle, this situation is very strange. In front of me is a thick and high wall with countless mining pick marks on it.

But in this dim environment, the item introduction panel unique to the colonist system appeared here majestically, enthusiastically introducing the things in front of me.

Buried steel, as the name suggests, is a special area formed by steel that has been pressed underground for various unknown reasons.

Why is there such a steel mine under the mine?

Could it be that the minerals produced over the years in this mine, which only the first batch of miners who landed on the island can enter, are the steel veins formed from such ancient ruins?

If old Yorkson were in front of me now, or if I entered here earlier and discovered the secret, I would definitely put the questions to him in detail and wait for him to give an explanation.

But in the current situation, I am the only one standing alone in the dim scene, staring blankly at a steel wall that existed in ancient times and was secretly buried without seeing the light of day.

No wonder the miners back then had to sign an agreement to keep the matter a secret from other latecomers.

Such high-purity iron ore can almost be thought of as a piece of ready-made steel buried underground. As long as it is slightly refined and the impurities are removed, it can be sold overseas.

At that time, when space resources had not yet been dumped and the entire continent and islands were undergoing a vigorous urbanization movement, these high-quality steel materials must have traveled across the ocean with the ships of the Voyager Alliance and transformed into the skeleton of tens of millions of steel jungles.

This sudden trace of civilization in the deep mountains gave me an uneasy feeling. Why is there this unique phenomenon of steel being buried on the unknown island where Ore Town is located?

I groped in the darkness, slowly crossing over the buried steel and approaching the adjacent block. Soon, another blank item attribute column was displayed in front of me.

"Item name: Slate

Description: A dark metamorphic rock with fine stratification characteristic of slate cleavage.

Durability:500/500

Mined Items: Slate Blocks

Cover effect: 75%

Flammability: 0%

Aesthetics:-2”

Next to the buried steel is an ordinary piece of slate.

Slate is a rock with a plate-like structure and basically no recrystallization. It is a metamorphic rock. The original rock is muddy, silty or neutral tuff, which can be peeled into thin slices along the direction of the plate.

The color of slate changes depending on the impurities it contains. Slate is a characteristic plate-like structure, shallow metamorphic rock is composed of clayey, silty sedimentary rock or medium-acidic tuffaceous rock, and sedimentary tuff is formed by slight metamorphism.

To put it simply, slate is a special phenomenon that occurs slowly in geological structures and has obvious layers. These layers are the product of soil compaction and metamorphism at different periods of time, combined with each other.

However, slate is a low-grade product of regional metamorphism. Its temperature and homogeneous pressure are not high, and it is mainly affected by stress. Therefore, the slate buried next to the steel can prove that there was no earth-shattering happening here at a certain period.

There are no volcanoes, earthquakes, or short and severe geological disasters.

These steel materials, perfectly combined with the slate and inlaid in place, must have been slowly deposited here over an unimaginable period of time, quietly waiting for visitors to discover them.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

The fear of the unknown, in the face of geological time measured in tens of millions or even billions of years, is washed away as if it were merged into the sea. Human beings' tiny fears are almost indescribable compared to the eternal flow of time.

Even if there were ruins of a super-ancient civilization on this island countless years ago, or a crashed spaceship, what impact would it have on the present? Who can span endless time and still send out a powerful call?

With this thought in mind, I took a few steps forward and touched a completely different piece of material.

"Item name: Buried ceramic steel

Description: A piece of ore rich in ceramite for unknown reasons. These materials are ceramic materials with high strength and high heat resistance. Due to their outstanding performance and ease of casting, they have been widely used in the interstellar world.

Durability:4000/4000

Mined items: Ceramic steel

Cover effect: 75%

Flammability: 0%”

Something strange appears again!

This wall is not even ordinary steel, but ceramic steel!

In my impression, ceramite should be the favorite armor shell of the combat groups headed by the Hunter Fleet, accompanying them to fight the mechanical Zerg in every corner of the galaxy. But before they use it, where do these mysterious materials come from?

It has always been a mystery.

There are legends that in the universe before the ancient times, there was a huge empire that almost spanned the galaxy. It relied on mysterious materials such as ceramite to rule unprecedented territory and brought civilization to every corner of the galaxy.

Although there are different opinions about the relationship between the Hunter Fleet and the Ancient Empire, the Hunter Fleet has long been cleaning up the machine fleet at the edge of the universe. It is unswerving at all times, but it has no favor with those of us who are ignorant of battles, and even more

Not to mention friendly exchanges.

Why is there ceramic steel in this mine?

The puzzle here once again stumped me.

But the purpose of my coming here is to mine. These old problems can be studied later. As long as I dig enough mines and go back to work, today's trip will be worthwhile.

"Select work order: Prioritize mining of buried steel."

Even in the dark, the colonist system is not affected in any way and has decisive execution ability for the instructions I give.

There was only a "ding" sound, and I had already swung the mining pickaxe and hit it on the hard and ancient iron wall, and even a spark burst out.

As the clanging sound continued, my mining work began involuntarily. I couldn't see it in the dark anyway, so I just let my body twist and fight with the steel.

Soon, I detached a piece of steel from the wall of the mine and fell to the ground with a sharp outer edge. It seemed to weigh forty or fifty kilograms, heavy and dull.

"I should have enough iron. How about I dig out a piece of ceramic steel?"

With this thought in mind, I continued to issue the order.

"Select work order: Prioritize mining of buried ceramic steel."

The durability of ceramic ore is three times that of iron ore, so the digging time is also extremely long. In the dark, I almost felt that a century had passed. The light outside gradually dimmed, and the work of the system came to an end.

"Item name: Ceramic steel

Item description: Ceramic is a ceramic material with high strength and high heat resistance. High-quality ceramic is used for advanced armor. In some marginal places, it is called Oliha steel and orichalcum, often named

It was recorded as the hardest metal God gave.”

Ceramic steel is Oliha steel?!!!
