Steel steam and flame

The thermostatic chamber was nearly completely destroyed, and corrosion from the low-temperature freezing gas and blood had made all metal parts pitted. A huge gap opened on one side of the cargo box, and freezing air had eroded into the interior. But being extremely volatile, they also dissipate at a considerable rate. When Winifer walked in, the rich milky white cold air was only level with their chests.

Cassia was grabbing a broken piece of the cargo box and gently fanning it to guide as much freezing air as possible outside the constant temperature room. In the cargo box of the delivery truck, iron cans are neatly arranged on metal shelves. At this time, Cassia followed the detection of sound wave pulses, went inside, and lifted a square metal cargo box in the corner.

It weighs approximately half a ton, but is less than the size of an adult. Ordinary sound wave pulses failed to penetrate it, and the effect of high-frequency sound waves did not meet Cassia's expectations. But thinking about what kind of material it was, Cassia immediately thought that it should be like this.

There were only two pieces in the entire cargo box. Cassia handed the one in her hand to Winifer, picked up the remaining piece, and left the constant temperature room together to go to the mine passage.

"Mr. Soriato, is this the cargo you are talking about?" Winifer asked as he gently placed the metal box on the ground.

"Part of it." Cassia replied, using her hand to open the decorative lock on the metal box. "As a mechanic, Mr. Winifer, you will definitely be able to recognize what this is." Then he opened the metal box and roughly The same shape, with a gray-black square metal block inside. For example, the most common cast parts in steam factories do not undergo any subsequent processing. They are packed and shipped directly after being taken out of the mold.

Under the light, you can detect a lot of impurities in the metal block. Rather than being impurities, it is better to say that these bright silver spots like sand and gravel mixed in the mostly gray-black material are the real goods. But whether it is bright silver spots or gray-black metal, even if it is rough, it still reflects little bits of warm light at this moment.

Winifer leaned his head over and took a closer look, his eyes gradually becoming hot. He looked at Cassia, seemingly seeking answers to his doubts, but sensing that Cassia had no intention of answering, he touched the rough surface of the metal block with his hand. There is no common cold characteristic of metal. This piece of metal has a sense of warmth as a whole, like a hot stone in some extreme areas, releasing energy to the outside world at all times.

Pressing his mouth into a straight line, Winifer stood upright within less than half a minute of observing. The freezing air was now filling the air, and he signaled to go outside the mine. It wouldn't be too late to come in after the freezing air dissipated.

The sunshine at noon was somewhat warm. Winifer went to the awning to get some water, and then went to sit on an exposed stone aside: "I always thought that I dragged you, Mr. Soriato, into something bad." In the matter, enemies appear for you out of thin air, and they seem to be enemies that are not very easy to deal with. But I didn't expect that it turned out that I didn't know anything and got involved in something more dangerous.

"Can you tell me the source of these things? If you are positioned as a target in the future, you can also make preparations based on some general information." Wiping his face, Winifer drank the water as wine, but there was no trace of anything in his expression. He was more afraid than interested, "If the judgment just now was correct, the metal block should be a rough embryo of the ultimate metal. After the most rudimentary smelting, it was packed and shipped directly. Even if it is just a rough embryo, the impurities in it account for Most of them, but those impurities are also better than the various properties of high-grade alloys. Probably any mechanic has thought about having a little bit of ultimate metal in his hand to make the weapons or equipment he most wants to make."

"But just thinking about it, it is something that every mechanic knows. There is no way that this thing can be in my hands, and it is impossible for anyone to auction it in the dark world. Currently, there are only three companies in the entire Later Phase Continent that can produce the ultimate metal rough embryo. Certain powerful organizations in large giant countries. The difficulty in making crude embryos is not in the craftsmanship and refining techniques, but in the raw materials. If they are taken from dragon scales or bones, this condition limits too many people."

"Do you have a way to refine it again? I don't know much about the refining process of ultimate metal." Cassia said.

Winifer shook his head and then nodded, "Mr. Soriato, I personally want to try it, but you are also my customer, so I need to remind you here."

"It's not necessary. There are a lot of things to prepare. If you have a sufficient number of rough embryos, half the volume of the cargo box in the constant temperature room. In this way, you may have a proportional profit. Otherwise, it is only two pieces, which is very, very It’s not worth it. Besides, I can only refine it for the second time, and there is nothing I can do after that. Not to mention the ultimate metal, the kind without impurities, it is said that only the Saint Dorag Empire can refine it in the Later Phase Continent. Even with The ultimate alloy contains impurities and must be refined several times to reach a certain purity."

"Every refining process is different, and the conditions required are also different. In short, it is not only a matter of mechanics, but also requires the cooperation of technology. Some processes also seem to require special pharmaceutical experts to solve. Not to mention The machine used for refining is something that I have no idea about. From design to manufacturing to testing, the cost of the entire process is not something that small forces can afford."

Winifer knew a lot of basic information, "But putting two rough embryos there would be a bigger waste. After the work at hand is completed, Mr. Soriato, if you believe me, I can take over this job. Use I have the technology to make and equip weapons. Of course, it’s more of an attempt to become a mechanic, or one of the final attempts on the path you choose.”

"Free." Winifer added immediately.

"Obviously, I have no reason to refuse." Cassia smiled, "But there are conditions. This is obviously an absolutely valuable thing. The kinetic armor, and it is not just a few units, I need stable and efficient mass production. All expenses will be paid by me, and I can guarantee that I will not ask about the technical information. In addition, please add the corresponding remuneration. Let’s not talk about money for now. If there are other things, money will definitely be smooth for you afterwards. I’m in position. It just so happens that I have a lot of good things in my hand, most of which are a collection of various technologies. Absolute energy, the super vapor compression device of the Saint Dorag Empire, etc.”

Winifer smiled and nodded, "Mr. Soriato, I'm not worried about my enemies now. It's about you..." The meaning of the words is obvious. Compared to himself, Cassia is the biggest sources of danger.

"No, no, you can get away at any time, and a position as a technical advisor is also feasible. But if possible, I still hope that you can turn the kinetic energy armor technology in your hand into a real object. I need him very much, and similarly, I will Try to meet all your conditions as much as possible. In terms of resources, our surgeries are different, so I may not be able to help you in this regard. But just like the rough embryo of Ultimate Metal, if I say that I have the source of its raw materials, I don’t know if you want to believe it?”

"Although it is currently so small that it is almost negligible." Cassia did not say this in his heart, and although Cassie Hei had the idea of ​​​​being used as a source of raw materials, he just thought about it now. Cassia is a very good dragon, and Cassia knows that she is just talking.

"Does the choice lie with me?" Winifer shook his head, but there was a smile on his face, but Cassia couldn't understand the meaning.

"Of course it's with you. But I still have to tell you some information in advance, Mr. Winifer, which is the answer to what I just said. This batch of goods comes from the Thunder Wolf Tribe, a large tribe of the Flame Alliance. Even if you don't know it clearly, this kind of information only costs a few dollars. You can get a thick stack of money." Cassia originally wanted to talk about the concentrated dragon blood to increase her attractiveness, but the slight "difficulty" feeling when the sound wave pulse swept through the jar just now made it so He hesitated.

This batch of concentrated blood is somewhat different from the batch intercepted at the Empire's volcano base. It's probably the difference in concentration, Cassia thought.
