Chapter 0207 Windfall - Uranium Mine
Liu Qi felt relieved after hearing Liu Zhi's answer. This would be discovered by a satellite in the sky. He absolutely believed that someone would come to find him before dawn.
Liu Zhi sensed his elder brother's mentality and said with a smile: "Brother, please don't underestimate us metal humans, especially don't treat us like scrap metal!
That's an insult to us. Although our body material belongs to the metal category, its essence has been evolved by your metal power.
In the future, you will slowly discover that our abilities are definitely beyond your imagination!"
"When did you become so arrogant?" Liu Qi listened to the other party's words and always felt that the other party was implying that he was an idiot.
...
An hour later, the sound of metal friction was heard in a small place. The sudden sound startled the birds that roosted in the dark and flew around.
"It's really hard for you to find so many new faces!" Liu Qi glanced at the two hundred and sixty people, and not a single face was the same.
"Haha, these are all trivial things!" Liu Zhi said narcissistically.
Liu Qi didn't know if Liu Zhi was influenced by him. Every metal man in the clone was extremely strong, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a rough figure, and the camouflage combat uniforms were full of bulges.
With his sharp eyes and bloodthirsty aura, he looked more like a battle-hardened thug than a new recruit.
"How many of our people are you going to copy here?" Liu Qi looked at the group of tall, strong black men in front of him and asked curiously.
"Then it depends on how many resources there are here!"
Liu Qi heard the other party's ambition, but reminded: "Don't forget, you can only copy 100,000 people online temporarily!"
Upon hearing the announcement, Liu Zhi's voice was filled with depression and he prayed: "Brother, work hard quickly. Only in this way can we evolve!
In addition, let me tell you good news. After my calculations in the past two days, as long as the eldest brother's body evolves into a full metal body, then the eldest brother will be able to control his body shape at will!"
"Are you telling the truth?" Liu Qi said excitedly after hearing this. If he could really control his physique, it would be a great thing for Liu Qi.
"Of course it is true! So, brother, you should work hard!"
But when Liu Qi was in a state of excitement, he suddenly thought of metalizing his whole body, but now he could only do it with his hands for the time being. He had to wait until the metallization of his whole body was completed. Damn! It would take years and months of the monkey! Thinking of this, Liu Qi suddenly felt that there was little hope.
Stimulated by Liu Zhi, Liu Qi then moved quickly according to the red dot marked by his brain.
Ten minutes later, Liu Qi came to a low-lying area and looked at the dark surroundings. He saw that the place was surrounded by tall, dense tropical vegetation.
Liu Qi turned on his metal sense. This was also an iron mine, and he was busy refining metal according to the previous mining methods.
This time, in order to prevent the naughty birds from causing trouble, Liu Qi controlled the gamma metal body and turned it into a cone shape, hiding it in the dense vegetation.
As time passed, a large amount of pure metal gradually gathered under Liu Qi's feet. The iron ore area last time had turned into a very large mine. After all, thousands of tons of metal was not a small amount.
At about three o'clock in the morning, more than 500 tons of pure iron had gathered around Liu Qi. At this time, Liu Qi was still concentrating on refining the iron ore underground.
"Brother! Big brother! Wake up!" Liu Zhi's urging voice came from his mind.
"Well? What's wrong?" Liu Qi came back to his senses and asked curiously.
"Brother, five hundred meters underground, keep drilling down. If I feel right, there may be something good hidden underground!" Liu Zhi's tone was full of excitement.
"Good stuff?" After hearing this, Liu Qi's eyes lit up. If Liu Zhi wanted to say good stuff, he couldn't be wrong.
Liu Qi immediately controlled the drill bit to return to its original position, and the metal energy in his body was continuously sent to the ground for assistance. Obviously, Liu Qi was also eager to see what kind of good thing it was.
After continuing to drill a hundred meters underground, Liu Qi finally sensed the good thing Liu Zhi mentioned.
A light different from the iron element appeared in Liu Qi's mind.
"Haha! Brother! Let's do it!" Liu Zhi's laughter suddenly sounded in Liu Qi's mind.
"What is this?" Due to limited knowledge reserves, there is such a metal in reality, but Liu Qi does not necessarily know it.
But it can make Liu Zhi excited to this extent, which shows that this metal is not ordinary.
"Brother, now, why did we come to Africa? You haven't forgotten it, have you?"
After Liu Zhi's reminder, Liu Qi, who was still confused at first, understood instantly and said excitedly in the same tone as Liu Zhi: "You mean this is uranium?"
"Haha! Yes! This is indeed uranium, and it is pitchblende!" Liu Zhi replied.
Liu Qi felt the legendary uranium ore carefully. Unlike other metals, Liu Qi could feel the energy coming from the uranium. If other metal elements felt cold to him, then the current uranium was like a cup of freshly brewed uranium.
Good fragrant tea, rich and fragrant.
"Look at this, the uranium reserves here are definitely over a thousand tons!" Liu Zhi's excitement did not subside.
"Yeah!" Liu Qi nodded in agreement.
The next step is simple. Liu Qi directly refined the uranium element in the pitchblende ore. The refined uranium was not the 235 or 238 commonly used in industry, nor the highly enriched uranium.
Liu Qi has long understood that metal powers are very picky. Any metal must be 100% pure. Things that do not exist in the world have long become commonplace in Liu Qi's place.
Therefore, 100% pure uranium is impossible for the outside world to exist. However, the silver-white metal shining silver around Liu Qi is pure uranium. The activity of uranium atoms in it is currently the highest Liu Qi has ever seen.
...
"The refined uranium is too little!" Liu Qi complained. Underground, Liu Qi had refined at least dozens of tons of ore, but the pure uranium around him was less than ten kilograms.
"Pfft! Brother, just be satisfied! Don't forget, what we are refining is pure uranium!"
"Uh! Maybe!" Liu Qi thought of his own uniqueness and how he had the right to complain, so he had no choice but to continue refining the underground uranium ore.
This time, Liu Qi also worked hard to refine it. All the underground areas with a radius of 100 kilometers were visited by Liu Qi.
The harvest was equally huge. 10 tons of pure uranium were arranged in blocks and hidden in the grass, blocking the white light emitted by it.
Liu Qi has not finished mining this underground uranium mine. Liu Zhi's calculation is indeed accurate. According to the current mining volume, the so-called thousands of tons is not an exaggeration.
Therefore, Liu Qi and Liu Zhi immediately decided to take over this mining area in the future.
"Xiao Zhi, according to the information provided by No. 1, we still need several metals to exchange for metal seeds!" Liu Qi frowned. Uranium ore is available, but without other metal resources, it will be useless!
"It will be there when we get the machine Jiani!" Liu Zhi replied with a smile.
"Haha, have you planned it again?" Liu Qi guessed after hearing the meaning of Liu Zhi's words.
"Do you still need to calculate this? Brother, the machine is ours, and the resources inside are not at our disposal!"
"You!..." Liu Qi was speechless after hearing the other party's hooligan behavior.
Then, he continued to be busy with the unfinished work of refining the iron ore underground.
...
"Damn! I'm so exhausted!" Liu Qi saw a silver edge on the horizon and knew that a new day had arrived.
After one night of hard work, Liu Qi gathered around 1,200 tons of pure iron.
"Brother, if there is enough metal energy, I still recommend that you use metal energy to assist in refining!"
"Damn it! How the hell do you know that you don't eat salt and that salt and rice are expensive? The drill bits in the ground are constantly consuming metal energy.
The metal energy it stores itself is not much, and besides, it now requires one hundred and sixty tons of pure metal to fill it with energy!"
Chapter completed!
