"oh?!"
The others immediately lost interest in licking their hands and all stared at him eagerly.
Looking around at the expectant eyes of the crowd, the director smiled proudly: "We must have made Asahi-sensei unhappy in some way."
Isn't this nonsense?
Everyone rolled their eyes and lowered their heads to continue licking.
Zhao Qi's cheek muscles twitched: "We are not stupid, you don't need us to tell you."
"Huh?" The director was a little surprised, "You all know?"
"Of course." Yue Ruo was full, and he grabbed the weeds on the ground to dry his wet palms. "Xu Xianren knows that we can't do anything with these trees, so he coaxed us into participating in some kind of reward and punishment training in advance, and even said that it's up to us to join or not.
It's obvious that I'm not happy."
Luo Xiling followed up by saying, “They also replaced a batch of indestructible iron axes for us, and even planted trees overnight. How did we offend our master?
Brother Ye? Can you say something? "
"Ah?" Ye Ming, who was squatting on the side and staring at the axe blade, came to his senses, "Maybe...Xu Xianren has his own intentions."
He was just staring at the axe in a daze. Luo Xiling became interested and stood up and ran to him and squatted down:
"Your axe is different?"
"Exactly the same as yours."
Why is Brother Ye always acting weird? Everyone in Xuxian said that he could go and chop down ordinary trees, but he insisted on coming to suffer with us.
She noticed that Ye Ming's thumb was scraping the axe blade lightly, and she muttered to herself, "Be careful, don't cut your hand."
Looking over here, Zhao Qi asked: "Is there a problem with the axe blade?"
"Very hard."
"I used it to chop trees for three days, and I know it's hard."
He bent his middle finger and chopped the axe for several days, but there was no break in the axe blade. Ye Ming said with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "Brother Zhao, what is the main factor that limits the development speed of modern science and technology?"
"Energy, materials, and human beings themselves..."
Halfway through his words, Zhao Qi and everyone else froze.
Except for the energy sources that have not been touched yet, the rest... the mountain gate seems to have them all?
Looking at their dull expressions, Ye Ming smiled: "Yes, it's just as you think."
The director stood up, his face full of solemnity: "Xiao Ye, what you want to say is that the greatest benefit of the mountain gate to us is not to teach immortal methods, but..."
"Yes." Ye Ming raised the axe, and faced the intact blade to the crowd, "If, I am if,
There is a tank made of the same material as Iron Axe. What kind of armor-piercing bullet can blast through its armor?"
"Not only that." Yue Ruo's expression also became serious. "The material is hard and strong enough to reduce the thickness, which can reduce the weight of the vehicle body and increase the upper limit of ammunition load."
"As for other fields, it has been difficult to break through the bottleneck of aviation engines because there is no suitable high-temperature resistant material."
Having said this, Ye Ming stopped talking. It was not because he could not think of anything else, but it was enough for them to think deeply about it.
Zhao Qi thought that if the fighter jet's body hardness increased, its speed would be faster, and its performance would even surpass all the advanced fighter jets today.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, lost in their own thoughts.
"Everyone, have you completed your goal?"
It was gentle in the past, but at this moment it felt like a familiar devilish voice was ringing behind them. Everyone shuddered, and without even turning their heads, they instinctively picked up the iron axes on the ground, rushed to their trees and started swinging them.
Except Ye Ming.
One, he came here just to experience it, and two...
The previous discovery made him feel restless and he couldn’t control himself at all.
"Xuxianren, I have something to ask you."
"please."
"Um..." Ye Ming handed the axe to Xu who was approaching, "Did Immortal Xu find the materials for making it on Blue Star?"
He didn't answer, but just glanced at her. Xu had already guessed his purpose: "No."
Sure enough!
Feeling slightly excited, he quickly asked, "What's it called? Is it iron?"
The axe is also made of iron, but it is different from that of Blue Star.
This kind of iron is a companion mineral of magic crystal. Perhaps because it absorbs a little magic power, its texture is extremely hard.
Those with higher quality also have a certain toughness.
Xu smiled and said, "It is iron, but it is a little different from what you know."
As he spoke, he spread out the five fingers of his right hand, palm facing up, and a clear crystal emerged.
The crystal is an angular cube with extremely high transparency, and has several streams of water entwined and flowing inside.
“Stone, buried deep underground.
The mountain people use it for spiritual practice, and the iron you are asking about is the added bonus when they mined it."
"Associated minerals?"
"Of course."
"Is the yield high? What about the variety? Is it renewable?"
"Many, yes."
The concise answer made Ye Ming's hands tremble.
Abundant and renewable, it means it is worth researching and developing.
"Xuxian, Huaguo hopes to trade the associated minerals of stone with your mountain sect."
Although he was very interested in the "stone", he knew that this kind of thing should be extremely precious to the mountain gate.
Therefore, it is mentioned that whether or not the "stone" can be purchased is not mentioned, so as not to offend others and not get any benefits.
"Trade?" Xu clenched his right hand into a fist, and the crystal almost disappeared. "Xu is not responsible for this matter. If you are interested, you can go to Qingshui Hall in Yuzhang Mountain to ask."
"Thank you, Asahi-sennin!"
Ye Ming's back disappeared in the narrow mountain road among the bushes, and Zhang Mu withdrew his gaze.
I knew that my senior brother was interested in the materials.
The reason why he replaced iron axes for everyone was indeed to make things difficult for them, but the main reason was to collect supplies quickly.
I believe that after I get the iron ore back to Blue Star for testing and see the exchange list I prepared, the truck fleet will be the one to deliver the supplies.
With a slight smile, Zhang Mu suppressed his thoughts and looked at the people who were sweating. His face quickly turned dark and he said, "Chop them slowly."
Without even a thought, the figure instantly arrived in the void space.
He closed his eyes tightly and connected his mental power to the puppet in Qingfeng Hall.
……
Upon learning that the mountain gate did not prohibit the sale of minerals, Ye Ming found Lin Miao, who was cutting trees halfway up the mountain, and told him everything that had happened.
She naturally understood the importance of this, and the two of them ran down the mountain.
But when he arrived at the main hall, Ye Ming remembered that he had forgotten to ask about the specific location of Qingfeng Hall.
It will take a long time to get back to the top of the mountain, and Xuxianren may not be here anymore.
They ran to the training ground and asked Brother Liu, who was practicing sword, to help lead the way.
Daoist Liu "happened" to have a break from his practice and had nothing to do, so he simply accompanied the two of them.
When they arrived at the door of Qingfeng Hall, the three of them walked up the stone steps and stood in front of the counter of the person in charge.
"Brother Zhou." Fellow Daoist Liu bowed to the young disciple behind the long platform, "These two are the distinguished guests of Uncle Xu. They have matters to trouble Brother Zhou."
The young disciple stood up to return the greeting, then sat back down and looked at the two men: "What do you want?"
"That's right." Ye Ming took a step forward and pondered for a few seconds. "Xu Xianren told me that your sect can trade with outsiders.
I want to... exchange it for some of the iron ore that is associated with the stone."
Senior Brother Zhou opened his mouth, seeming a little surprised.
Seeing this, Ye Ming's heart tensed up, and he asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"Misunderstanding, sir, you misunderstood." He recovered and waved his hands with a big laugh. "It's just that no outsiders have come to the mountain gate to exchange items for a long time. When I first heard what you said, I was quite sad for a moment."
"I thought there was a problem." Lin Miao patted his chest quietly.
Ye Ming also breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhou, do you have a list of the items you mentioned?"
"List?" He frowned in confusion, then suddenly asked, "List?"
"Correct!"
"Of course there is." He took out a blue-covered book about a finger thick from the drawer of the wooden cabinet, half stood up and handed it forward, "Sir, please take your time to read it."
After receiving the book, Ye Ming was about to open it, but Fellow Daoist Liu held down the cover and said, "We have to go to the restaurant."
Going to a restaurant? Going to dinner?
What does it mean... Senior Brother Zhou is going to get off work?
After thinking it over, he smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Senior Zhou, I'll go back and take a look at it slowly."
After saying that, he pulled Lin Miao back to the courtyard, sat down at the stone table in the corner of the courtyard, and placed the book flat on the table.
His index finger slid down the left side of the neatly arranged column of names, muttering: "Heartburning Grass... Seven-Leaf Flower... Brittle Stone...
Iron Stone! "
Lin Miao, who was sitting next to him and dozing with her chin on her hand, was awakened by the loud noise. She hurried over and asked, "Found it?"
"Look at the description in the last column. The material is solid and looks almost the same as iron. It was obtained while mining stone."
"That's right, this is it." Lin Miao clapped her hands happily, and her expression suddenly became serious again, "You didn't tell me how to change it?
