Chapter 1022 New Ore
The gleam of splendor captured by his eyes perked up Zhou Xu, who had been busy for a quarter, and hurried forward to confirm.
Immediately, a stone the size of a finger broke into Zhou Xu's field of vision.
Among a pile of rubble, this stone is really not conspicuous. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary stone.
Zhou Xu originally wanted to directly confirm the attribute panel with the 'Eye of Secret Peeping', but for some reason, the attribute panel could not be jumped out.
Holding the stone in his hand, Zhou Xu maintained his 'Eye of Peeping Secrets' and scanned around again, wanting to see if there was anything missing.
After confirming that there was no such thing, he waved his hand.
“Let’s go back to the camp first.”
At this time, their position was completely deep into the island.
After previous aerial reconnaissance, they could basically confirm that the large volcano was basically located in the center of the island.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Xuemei said it was normal.
He believed that this island was probably formed after a volcanic eruption many years ago.
At this moment, Zhou Xu and the others arrived at the foot of the volcano, which meant that they had reached the center of the island.
This location is almost ten days away from the village and town, even by taking the shortest straight line.
In order to give the exploration team headed by Zhou Xu a place to rest, and at the same time to enable them to better carry out the exploration mission, Zhou Xu specially allocated a logistics team for himself.
There are not many people in the logistics team. They are mainly responsible for setting up camp and cooking. There are also some professionals in there to help them solve problems.
Including a polisher.
Back at the camp, Zhou Xu directly handed the stone to the other party and motioned for the other party to polish it.
Obviously this was not the first time that the other party had done this. He took the stone and immediately began to polish the surface of the stone with skillful movements.
His Majesty has given the right word, there is 100% something inside this stone.
This makes the polishing craftsmen not dare to polish too hard at first, but only dare to work slowly bit by bit.
This took him a lot of effort.
“Meat is out, meat is out!”
As the last layer of stone skin covering the surface was polished off, the craftsman placed the stone in a basin on the side and simply cleaned it. one time.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that under the stone skin, there was actually a crystal luster accompanied by natural light!
Hearing the movement, Zhou Xu also hurried over, took the stone from the craftsman's hand, held it with two fingers and looked at it.
At this moment, the polishing work is far from over, the stone is just a window.
But through this window, the texture of the crystal inside was already visible to Zhou Xu’s eyes!
The entire crystal shows an orange color, which looks quite eye-catching.
Without much thought, Zhou Xu activated the ‘Eye of Peeping Secrets’ again with this crystal in hand.
This time the panel finally popped out.
Recalling that he had not been able to confirm the condition of the panel before, Zhou Xu thought about it. This might be because the crystal was completely wrapped under the stone skin, and he could not see the body of the crystal.
Therefore, the ‘Peeping Eye’ cannot identify it at all.
It is only now that I have opened the window for this stone and seen its true form, that I can finally conduct further confirmation.
As his thoughts flew, Zhou Xu's attention quickly focused on the panel that popped up in front of him.
Name: Fire Crystal
Introduction: Special crystal containing flame energy, which can be used to make some special attribute equipment. This introduction can be said to be very concise and clear.
When he saw that the name of this crystal was Fire Crystal, Zhou Xu subconsciously thought of the volcano.
【Is it because of the volcano? 】
While Zhou Xu was thinking, he handed the fire crystal stone to the craftsman and motioned for the craftsman to polish off all the remaining stone skin.
After successfully opening the window for the fire crystal, the craftsman undoubtedly became more knowledgeable when performing subsequent polishing, which also improved the overall efficiency a lot.
Soon, the fire crystal stone, with its skin peeled off and completely polished, was delivered to Zhou Xu's hands.
When I first found it, it was as big as a finger with the stone skin attached. Now that it has been polished, all that is left is the size of a peanut.
The moment I took it, there was no cold touch of the crystal, but a touch of warmth.
[Is it because of the flame energy? 】
With this thought flashing through his mind, Zhou Xu subconsciously pinched the fire crystal with two fingers, placed it in front of his eyes, and looked at the sky for a closer look.
From the color he observed through opening the window, Zhou Xu once thought that the fire crystal was orange in color as a whole.
But now after completely polishing it, he realized that he had really thought wrong before.
The crystals on the outside of this fire crystal are not so much orange as they are transparent crystals with extremely exaggerated transparency.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu actually saw an orange flame at the center of the crystal, whether it was a pattern or the so-called flame energy.
The inner flame is orange, while the outer flame shows a lighter bright yellow.
The transparent crystal surrounding the flame was also colored because of the color of the flame.
Anyway, after sharp crystals and diamonds, they finally obtained a special ore that can be used to make enchanted equipment.
At the same time, the directionality of this fire crystal can be said to be very clear, and it has its own flame properties.
[If you use this fire crystal to make a weapon, can it also have its own fire attack? 】
Zhou Xu obviously can't get an answer to this question now. He can only wait until the fire crystals are mined in large quantities and then sent to the rear for smelting and forging to see the effect.
The most urgent task now is to determine the specific location of the fire crystal veins.
The location is most likely near the volcano. They really don't dare to dig casually in this area.
Considering this, Zhou Xu was unambiguous and directly called Zhang Xuemei, who was also working on the island, and explained the situation to her.
Taking the peanut-sized fire crystal stone, Zhang Xuemei's eyes showed a bit of novelty.
After all, her main job now is to find various mineral veins and obtain ore for Dazhou.
But in all these years, she has never found any special ore like this.
While lamenting that this special ore is indeed rare, I also felt a little bit crazy.
Zhou Xu was too lazy to care about Zhang Xuemei's inner tangle. After the others arrived, he directly explained his concerns to the other party.
After listening to this, Zhang Xuemei basically knew what was going on and said that she would just leave it to her later.
There was no need for him to worry about it. Zhou Xu expressed that he was very satisfied. This is how a valuable subordinate should behave.
