Chapter 50 Crafts
Chen Lin walked forward directly, and Professor Yu turned the pure gold portal on the table with a smile.
The outer frame of the portal is made of pure gold, and the interior is made of various materials. The top is inlaid with three radiant crystals.
Chen Lin's eyes immediately couldn't leave this thing.
“Is this made from crushed minerals?”
"Not bad."
Professor Yu nodded appreciatively, "These are rare minerals that we recently discovered. We selected some of them and put them in using magnetic inlay technology."
"The three crystals above, the one on the left is a quasi-superconducting material, which is one of the newly discovered primitive minerals from other worlds."
Chen Lin still knows a little bit about the so-called superconducting materials. We know that this is a material that exhibits the properties of zero resistance and repelling magnetic lines of force under certain low temperature conditions.
“Why is it called ‘quasi’ because it does not actually have stable superconductivity?”
Professor Yu thought for several seconds before sorting out the words: "The explanation is very complicated. The performance of this primitive mine exceeds that of most superconducting primitive materials found on the earth, but the requirements for activating superconductivity are completely different... In short, it is still We need to conduct multiple rounds of tests on it. It has not yet been fully determined whether it is a superconducting material."
Chen Lin touched it directly with his hand, and a cold touch was conveyed.
"The one in the middle is the energy block."
Professor Yu pointed at the one in the middle of the three crystal stones and said: "Literally, it is the energy block."
“Is it the same as a power source like a battery?”
"Almost, but we currently cannot stably utilize the energy inside...The energy inside has been solidified, and the method of use is still being explored."
Only the last one of the three crystals is left, and I have not introduced it. Chen Lin touched it and suddenly felt something burning the skin of his fingers.
"Mineral catalyst, this kind of thing is also one of the original minerals in the other world."
"The burning sensation is its slight corrosive effect. Don't worry, it has been tested and found to be harmless to humans. ”
Professor Yu signaled Chen Lin to pick up the portal.
Chen Lin didn't do any ink, and directly held up this miniature version of the pure gold portal with both hands.
The weight is not as heavy as expected.
Chen Lin estimated the weight in his hand and guessed it should weigh more than ten kilograms.
The mineral powder inside the pure gold portal has different colors. As Chen Lin moves, the mineral powder inside will show different shapes.
Chen Lin shook it and found that the shape inside would change with the intensity of the shaking.
At first it was a five-pointed star, then it looked like a hammer, then a sickle... and finally the dust in the portal turned into a palm.
It is a left-hand palm shape.
Chen Lin was quite surprised by this design, and he glanced at Professor Yu.
"Is this for me?"
"Yes, as a special reward for you."
Professor Yu said with a smile: "Before, the association was planning to get you a set of commemorative coins made of pure gold. Later, I thought it might not be good, so I proposed to make changes."
"This The pure gold doorframe of the portal weighs seven kilograms."
Chen Lin shook the thing in his hand: "Is this thing worth two to three million?"
"That's just gold. Value!"
Professor Yu pushed out the wheelchair and said to Chen Lin: "Although gold is the heaviest among this pile of minerals, it is not the most valuable!"
Chen Lin was slightly surprised. The heaviest thing in the handicraft was probably the pure gold portal frame.
In the end, Professor Yu said this... Could it be that the mineral powders inside are more valuable?
“Did you see the light red powder inside? The price per gram of this kind of thing is four times that of gold.”
Chen Lin glanced at the light red powder in the portal , squinting slightly.
“The silver-white element inside belongs to a proven rare mineral, and its price is thirty times that of gold.”
"That kind of black granular item is about forty-five times more valuable than gold."
"And..."
Chen Lin was somewhat unable to answer the question.
His meager knowledge of science and engineering had already been returned to the teacher, not to mention that many rare elements themselves were not universal knowledge, which made him unable to speak.
Chen Lin can now determine one thing from Professor Yu's words - even if these minerals are only a few grams or tens of grams, they are still valuable!
Professor Yu seemed to realize that Chen Lin didn't understand what he was hearing, so after saying five or six things, he laughed and stopped continuing.
"In short, the value of everything here combined is far more than the door frame made of pure gold."
"What do you think of this gift?"
Chen Lin was naturally only happy!
He gave the professor a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "This thing is really in line with my aesthetics, but if there is the set of pure gold commemorative coins you mentioned before, It’s even more perfect!”
"What a brat!"
Professor Yu seemed to have guessed that Chen Lin would say such a thing, and he pointed in the direction of the desk.
"I knew you would still talk about this kind of thing, so I asked them to make a set of commemorative coins..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Lin had already He rushed to the desk in two or three steps.
He opened the drawer and saw a pure gold commemorative coin inside!
Chen Lin took out the box and noticed that these pure gold commemorative coins were all engraved with the badge of the Hongshan Base, but his name was all engraved on the back!
"This..."
He looked towards the professor, "Is my name engraved on it?"
"Your contribution is so great. "What's wrong with engraving a name?"
Professor Yu said with a smile: "Now the entire Hongshan Base and the association are surrounding you. Those people in the other world can't return without you. Come on, you are the core of the entire project.”
When Chen Lin heard this, he didn't refute it at all, because it was indeed the case.
The portal he opened is the starting point of everything, and because of the special nature of the portal, he must frequently travel between the two worlds.
This will allow both bases to operate normally.
Professor Yu waved to Chen Lin and motioned for him to sit next to him.
“Have you met Lin Yun before?”
As soon as Chen Lin sat on the chair, he heard Professor Yu asking him.
He nodded, but he didn't mean to hide it: "Last time I made a test firearm for me at the testing site, and the chamber exploded. It really shocked me."
When Chen Lin said this, there was obviously some emotion on his face, "I thought a lot at the time, and I was even thinking about what would happen next if I died because of this woman." "I'm afraid the entire teleportation The portal project will be wiped out, and the people in the outpost opposite the portal will never come back..."
"So I had a very bad attitude towards her at the beginning. .”
Professor Yu nodded and said slowly: "What she did at that time was very dangerous, so I severely criticized her immediately after learning about it." Professor Yu's expression became serious.
"After all, this is related to your life safety. We have made this a top priority from the beginning."
"This time it is absolute negligence, your guard The staff member did not stop this incident in time, and was also adjusted at work..."
When Chen Lin heard this, he immediately said: "Xiao Wu actually has no problem, he was not present at the time. ”
Professor Yu stared: “Isn’t that a bigger problem?”
"As your personal bodyguard, entering a place like this can actually leave you alone..."
Chen Lin suddenly fell silent. He really forgot about this.
"In short, there are many problems exposed behind this incident, and there are countless loopholes in your security work! Next, we decided to strengthen our protection for you."
The professor sat In a wheelchair, words carry great weight.
"And Lin Yun. Because of the special nature of her work, I am very worried that one day there will be a dangerous incident like the test site. Although I grew up watching this girl Lin Yun, I He and his father Lin Feng are very good friends, but public is public and private is private.”
"For your safety, we are preparing..."
"Ahem!"
Chen Lin interrupted Professor Yu at this time.
"Professor, are you going to ask Lin Yun to change his job and keep me away from her?"
"What do you think?"
"Forget it." Chen Lin shook his head, "I now know what kind of person Lin Yun is. Her obsession with firearms is beyond the reach of most people, but I do have a common interest with her on this point."
"What happened before will never happen again. I will have as little contact with her as possible."
A smile slowly appeared on Professor Yu's face.
"She is an extremely dangerous girl...you have to understand."
Chen Lin and the old professor looked at each other for several seconds, and then they both smiled.
"Then let's stop talking about this and talk about business!"
Professor Yu's expression calmed down and he started talking about business.
“Let’s talk about the dwarves?”
“I know you can’t help it.”
“Haha, after all, the message was sent back last night Quite amazing.”
Professor Yu pushed his wheelchair to the table again, picked up his tea cup and took a sip.
“There was an emergency meeting at the base last night, and the main topic was actually about what the dwarves call the Coman Empire.”
“The scope we can actually control is very small. Small, only about a hundred kilometers away, but the scope of our exploration is large.”
“Our current military drones can cruise within a range of 10,000 kilometers, but within this period of time. The focus has always been on building a base, but I haven’t used these things much.”
“Now that we know that there are other intelligent creatures in this new world, and these creatures have formed an empire, the focus of the next stage will be. There will be a slight shift.”
Professor Yu spoke for a long time, and when he saw Chen Lin nodded towards him, he motioned for him to continue.
“After you go back, you need to ask the dwarves for information about the Coman Empire, and the language translator also needs to parse out these languages as much as possible so that both parties can communicate without hindrance.”
"No problem."
Professor Yu nodded slightly and continued: "The association has decided to send a group army to the opposite side..."
As soon as the words came out, Chen Lin almost Choked!
"Ah!?"
"A brigade in..."
Professor Yu was breathing heavily when he spoke, leaving Chen Lin speechless.
"Professor, don't you think of people who play tricks on people like this?"
"Haha, I am an old man, so it is normal for me to speak slower."
Professor Yu said sternly: "A brigade-level unit has several thousand people, and its military strength is enough to destroy any living thing we see at this stage."
"This is true."
Chen Lin nodded: "The military force over there is already very strong. As of now, there are probably about 4,000 people, right? Continue to send people over there... We are preparing to launch an attack on the Coman Empire. War?”
Professor Yu shook his head and said: “We will never take the initiative to launch a war against intelligent creatures, not to mention that we still know nothing about these people, only that they exist. ”
“This is just a small preparation to ensure the smooth completion of our next phase of construction work. ”
"Think about it, if soldiers from the empire suddenly break in while we are expanding the city, someone will always have to chase them away, right?"
"Our city is not small. Thousands of people are simply not enough, and with the addition of job rotations and outings on missions... these people may not be enough!"
Chen Lin suddenly raised his head in shock and noticed. A "smile" that only a wise man can have appeared on Professor Yu's face.
......
It was nearly forty minutes before Chen Lin finally returned to the portal area and opened the portal.
Professor Yu pulled him and talked about the content of the meeting, which always made Chen Lin feel that the professor was old and could not grasp the key points.
Because the old professor always likes to talk about the causes and consequences, it is easy to get off topic while talking.
But Chen Lin already knew more or less the next plan.
In short, the planned city at this stage will still be built step by step. However, after learning about the Coman Empire, the association once again coordinated a brigade-level military unit, which is expected to be built within the next week. Enter a different world.
At that time, a comprehensive exploration of the so-called Coman Empire will be carried out.
Military drones and military satellites are the first choice, while reconnaissance teams and small-scale contacts are the second choice.
Resource development is the top priority. Biological breeding, vegetation utilization, mineral mining...as long as there is a positive side, the priority will be raised.
Chen Lin's left hand directly touched the portal and immediately completed the conversion of the huge portal.
The door to another world opens again!
With the piercing sirens, the entire portal area suddenly became lively, and the train whistles sounded one after another, indicating that a new round of transportation was about to begin.
Chen Lin walked on the way out, followed closely by several guards, who were obviously much more serious than before.
The association has increased the number of security guards for Chen Lin. Now Chen Lin is protected by professionals before and after he goes out, which makes him feel uncomfortable for a while.
The relaxed and comfortable feeling before is gone!
