Global Cataclysm: Start building a floating island

China has promised to provide human resources, so Lin Ye needs to confirm with Gray and others how many manpower and what types of manpower are needed for the R&D center and arsenal.

In the end of the world, rational allocation of resources is more important than anything else.

He walked along the passage to the door of the Weapons Research Institute.

Now the upgraded research institute has become much more impressive. Not only has the internal space increased several times, but the defense performance and safety factor have also been significantly improved.

For example, the ten centimeter-thick special bulletproof glass on the exterior wall and the all-weather automatic weapon defense system on the ceiling are both elite weapons.

After detecting Lin Ye's facial data, the double-layer pneumatic door of the research institute opened automatically.

Enter the laboratory you want to go to on the control screen at the door, and guidance arrows will appear on the corridor floor.

Lin Ye followed the arrow through the corridor and came to the No. 1 R&D Laboratory located in the deepest part of the institute.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gray and a group of engineers gathered around the experimental workbench, discussing something intensely.

The dozen or so people were so excited that they didn't even notice him entering.

On the workbench surrounded by them, there were several polygonal crystal blocks that reflected silver-white light.

It looks like some kind of dense metallic material.

Lin Ye walked up to the stage out of curiosity, raised his hand and touched it, only to find that this thing was very light.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

If we compare it to Blue Star's material, it is basically equivalent to high-density polyethylene products.

At this time, Gray, who was debating the design plan with his colleagues, finally saw an extra person beside him.

Not only did he not wear work clothes as required, but he also touched materials without permission.

Troubled by the design plan, he was extremely irritated, so he turned his head and prepared to scold loudly.

However, the next second, he saw that this unruly guy was Lin Ye.

So, he immediately forcefully swallowed the words on his lips.

His eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Ah, I just came over to take a look and discuss something with you!"

Lin Ye's attention was entirely focused on the white crystals on the stage. After responding to Gray's question, he pointed at the materials and asked, "What is this?"

Gray looked at his curious eyes and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he explained with a smile:

"On El Star, this material is called Roche alloy!"

"Rosch alloy?"

Hearing this name, Lin Ye suddenly raised his head.

There is also an ore with the same name on Blue Star!

Is this a coincidence?

Seeing Lin Ye's strong reaction, Gray was also very confused, but he still honestly explained the origin of the crystal mine:

"The Zerg on El Star generally wear black armor, and those armors are forged from this kind of crystal ore!

The forged armor has extremely strong defensive performance and can effectively shield against deadly radiation.

More importantly, this type of material is lightweight and will not hinder movement even if it is assembled into a full-body armor."

As he spoke, he easily lifted one of the 40-centimeter-high ore blocks with just one hand.

Lin Ye was still guessing at the reason for the similar names at first, but after Gray's description, he had a clear idea.

This is the mineral vein that erupted into magma after the cores of extraterrestrial planets and blue stars melted.

In previous lives, humans extracted this material from the shell of the crashed Zerg mothership.

And after isotope comparison, the same material was found on the floating continent of Blue Star, which is the alien mineral veins after the magma condensed.

According to the transliteration of the Zerg language, people named this type of ore "Luoxi".

But later, humans refined and decomposed these mineral veins into Luoxi refined iron and black crystal ore.

As Gray introduced, Roche fine iron is light in texture, highly malleable and extremely tough. It basically has all the advantages of tungsten alloy and titanium alloy.

Black crystal ore can be made into an equipment sandwich, which can basically effectively shield various other deadly cosmic radiations in addition to extremely destructive gamma rays.

Looking at the white crystals on the workbench, Lin Ye had a very shocking guess in his mind.

"You just said that this white crystal can be made into black armor?"

"That's right!" Gray nodded, then lightly touched the workbench with his fingertips, and a 3D model of a spherical smelting furnace appeared in front of everyone.

"In a smelting furnace at 20,000 degrees Celsius, the Hash alloy will be pressed and forged into a high-density dense body. At this time, the color will change, from white to black, but the quality will only increase by ten percent."
