Chapter 1370: Rocket Fuel
Chapter 1370: Rocket Fuel
Ling Corporation, assembly workshop.
Ling Feng looked at the large mining vehicle in front of him, his eyes gleaming with excitement!
"Boss, are you satisfied?" Gu Li asked beside him.
"More than satisfied!"
Ling Feng nodded, then looked at the experts: "As expected of high-level talents, this vehicle is exactly as I imagined!"
Gu Li chuckled: "Of course, we made it strictly according to your requirements. This vehicle can travel a thousand kilometers on a full charge, has its own generator, and can work continuously for ten hours when mining!"
"Very good, thank everyone for me tonight!"
Ling Feng nodded and stepped forward to touch the mining vehicle, immediately storing it in his Space Bracelet.
Seeing the experts’ shocked expressions, Ling Feng chuckled to himself, thinking this was exactly the effect he wanted!
He intended to win them over and make them his followers; not showing any tricks would definitely not work.
Only by completely impressing them would these talents feel at ease working for him, right?
Then Ling Feng looked at Gu Li: "What should we do next, you arrange it!"
"Don’t worry, I already have a plan. Everyone has seen the German materials, and they are very interested. The next stage of work can start immediately!" Gu Li said.
"Great, just let me know if you have any needs, I’ll prioritize them for you!"
Ling Feng nodded, turned, left the workshop, and immediately returned to Nine Heavens.
Miao Ruoruo was already settled, and the business issues were still being handled by Yu Nan, so he had some time and immediately wanted to test the mining vehicle’s capabilities.
He found Ling Yao on the Seventh Layer. Upon hearing the mining vehicle was ready for use, she was also very excited, so they both headed to the Eighth Layer of Heaven together.
Upon entering, Ling Feng took out the vehicle, and they both got into the cockpit right away.
As the pneumatic door closed, the cockpit filled with oxygen immediately.
"Now let’s go!"
Ling Feng gripped the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator.
Without the roar of a usual car engine, the vehicle slowly entered the interior of the Eighth Layer of Heaven.
Ling Yao kept watching the instruments on the vehicle while listening to Ling Feng’s introduction. She learned which was the oxygen gauge, which was the power gauge, and how to operate the mechanical arm.
Seeing her serious learning, Ling Feng was also very happy.
After traveling a little way, Ling Yao pointed ahead and said, "There, there’s something underground!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded, moved the vehicle forward, and controlled the mechanical arm to reach over!
In a vacuum environment, no sound could be heard outside, but the mechanical arm opened, dug into the ground, and easily scooped out a large chunk of dirt and rock!
Soon after, several green crystals appeared in front of them. Ling Feng immediately used the mechanical arm to extract them and transferred them to the rear compartment.
The first mining operation was a success!
"Sis, there must be more than just Explosive Stone here, let’s take a look further ahead!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Sure, let’s go!"
Ling Yao was also very happy. The mining work, which was previously very difficult, was now easily solved, and she wanted to obtain more valuable resources from this mysterious place.
The two then drove deeper into the Eighth Layer.
This time they traveled a few hundred meters, and it was completely dark around them. Ling Yao pointed ahead and said, "Look over there!"
"I see it!"
Pale yellow crystals scattered on the ground, glowing brightly under the lights, very conspicuous!
So Ling Feng drove over, quickly collected the crystals on the ground, and loaded them into the compartment.
Then they started excavation work again, staying busy for more than two hours until Ling Yao said, "Alright, there’s nothing left here."
"Should we continue, or go back and take a look at what these yellow crystals are?" Ling Feng asked.
"I’m fine with whatever you choose!" Ling Yao said.
Ling Feng laughed: "Alright, it’s not urgent, let’s go back and have a look first!"
With that, he turned the vehicle around and quickly returned to the entrance of the Eighth Layer.
After unloading the items, they each took a piece of yellow crystal and went outside immediately.
These yellow crystals were the same shape as the green ones, but with different colors, so their functions must be different.
After examining them, Ling Yao looked up and said to Ling Feng, "This is truly a blessing from heaven for you!"
"Is it? Why?" Ling Feng asked in surprise.
"These crystals, when ground into powder, can be used as solid fuel!" Ling Yao said.
"Hmm? Gunpowder?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, you wanted to research rockets, right? This should come in handy!" Ling Yao nodded.
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Ling Feng froze.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately grabbed Ling Yao’s hand: "Let’s put aside the mining for now, we’re going to Ling Tower!"
The two of them teleported away, arriving at the previous assembly workshop. Gu Li was just about to take the experts out for a meal.
Seeing Ling Feng return, Gu Li’s expression changed: "Boss, is there something wrong with the mining vehicle?"
"Of course not, it works great. I’m here to deliver this!"
Ling Feng said as he took out a piece of yellow crystal.
Gu Li and the others were stunned, not knowing what it was for.
So Ling Feng quickly explained: "The composition of this crystal is combustible. Does anyone here know about rocket fuel? Please check its effectiveness!"
After the translation, a bearded expert immediately raised his hand.
At this point, no one was in a hurry to eat anymore. They all followed the bearded man into the laboratory.
They watched as he cut a portion from the crystal, ground it into powder, and then weighed it.
After determining the mass, the bearded man placed the powder into a transparent glass container and prepared to ignite it.
To prevent accidents, everyone retreated far back to the doorway of the laboratory.
The bearded man, unsure of the properties of these particles, opted for remote ignition.
As he pressed the switch, an electric arc struck the pile of yellow powder, and everyone saw a flash of light before a muffled sound reached their ears!
The bearded man, with a look of disbelief, quickly walked over.
Then everyone saw him busily working as if he had gone mad, head down and busy.
Several other experts also gathered around to help, recording and calculating data, merrily engaged.
Ling Feng watched patiently from the side, waiting for the results.
A few minutes later, the bearded man and the other experts, after seeing the calculation results, all exclaimed in surprise.
Ling Feng smiled upon seeing this.
The translator then came over and said: "Mr. Ling, they said that what you brought has an excellent combustion effect, much more efficient than the current world-standard rocket fuel, with efficiency at least ten times higher!"
"Really? Is it that good?"
Ling Feng was also taken aback, not having expected such results.
And that bearded expert had already come over, eagerly saying something that left Ling Feng puzzled.
The translator quickly explained: "Mr. Ivan is asking where you got this from, how much is left, and if you can give him more."
