Chapter 474: Comparisons Are Odious!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the same time, Tianjing City, outskirts, National Security Zone.

The mysterious middle-aged man was sitting in the Bureau Chief Wu Di's office, legs crossed and leisurely drinking tea.

The head of Heavenly State's National Security Bureau, Bureau Chief Wu Di, was giving him the latest updates.

“The composition of the metallic meteorite we found underground has been a.n.a.lyzed.” The Bureau Chief stood in front of the mysterious man beaming with delight as he reported. “This metallic meteorite is really good! Very good! I didn't expect us to be able to gain so much from it!”

“Oh? That's not bad.” The mysterious man smiled as he sipped his tea, asking, “What kind of metals is it made up of? Rare metals? Special metals? Precious metals?”

At this time, the Bureau Chief's expression was very animated and was grinning from ear to ear. He looked ecstatic. “It's Adamantium! Sixty tons of Adamantium!”

Puu—!!!

With his status, the mysterious man had to be careful even with the head of the National Security Bureau's Chief Bureau Wu Di. But when he heard that, tea spurt out of his mouth!

Adamantium was a rare metal, but its uses were limitless!

Adamantium was not a metal belonging to this world. This metal could only fall from the Universe as a meteorite. And only a metallic meteorite could possibly contain Adamantium.

Adamantium became indestructible when mixed with carbon alloy. It was the strongest metal in the world!

Adamantium first appeared in a crater in Chicago, USA, and was discovered by the Merika government in 1958.

Subsequently, Merika scientists were surprised that Adamantium ore showed no signs of melting even at a high temperature of 500,000°C during the smelting process. Its chemical structure had always been a top-secret of the Merika government.

It was no exaggeration to say that any national treasure would look dull when compared with Adamantium.

Humans had no way of finding out how strong this meal was. It was only recorded universally that Adamantium was stronger than diamonds.

In the decades that followed, Merika had always tried to replicate this metal. If successful, their military strength would advance in a manner that no human could imagine. But they had never managed to do it. Natural Adamantium was scarce—only Merika owned about one to two kilograms of it.

And now the Bureau Chief said that the meteorite that Hong Dali found contained sixty tons of Adamantium?!

“The meteorite is sixty tons of Adamantium?!” The mysterious man stared with his mouth wide open. “My G.o.d, only Merika has ever found Adamantium, and its chemical structure has always been a top-secret of the Merika government. We have found nothing after so many years of probing. Now you say that the meteorite that Hong Dali found was of Adamantium?! All sixty tons of it?!”

“Yes, Big Boss.” The Bureau Chief was exhilarated. To be able to see the Big Boss, who always kept a straight face regardless of what happened, spurt out tea, the Bureau Chief was elated. “Yes, the same Adamantium. Our laboratory technicians have done multiple tests. It should be accurate.”

“Good! Hahahaha! Good!” The Big Boss of the entire Heavenly State, the mysterious man, laughed out loud. “Merika treated that little bit of Adamantium like a treasure. They even said that although Heavenly State has lots of land and abundant resources, we don't have anything like that. See who has the last laugh now. I'm curious to see their expressions after they find out that we found sixty tons of Adamantium!”

“Treasure, Hong Dali is definitely our treasure!” The Bureau Chief nodded his head vigorously. “In order to find more Adamantium, Merika had turned the entire country upside down. In the end, they only found a few kilograms of it. All we had to do was ask Hong Dali to look around once and he found sixty tons! If they find out, they are sure to vomit blood.”

He wasn't exaggerating.

If there was sufficient Adamantium, it would have significant usage no matter which technology it was used in. It was just a pity that not much of it had been found. Searching through the entire country, Merika only found a few kilograms of Adamantium.

Looking at Hong Dali… Comparisons were odious!

“Big Boss, the Adamantium, we should…” Although this was a good thing, there were too many implications to this Adamantium. It became Big Boss' worry as to what to do with the Adamantium. This was not steel which could be easily smelted when it became useless. This stuff has a melting point of 1,500 degrees. Once the desired shape was formed, and one wished to melt it again, the melting point would become 150,000 degrees. It wouldn't be easy.

“Now that you've mentioned this, I have no idea what we should do.” The mysterious man stroked his chin and pondered. But he couldn't think of anything.

To use it for individual combat equipment? That was putting it to petty use. There was quite a large amount of it. Making military satellites? There was no meaning to it, n.o.body shot satellites for fun. Its make didn't matter much. Building aircraft carriers? Sixty tons of Adamantium was probably not enough to build the entire aircraft carrier…

“It's tough, indeed.” The Bureau Chief ran out of ideas.

Adamantium may be rare and precious. Its uses may be limitless, but that was exactly where the problem lied. Using it for anything seemed too petty. Leaving it and not using it was a pity.

Hence, both Big Boss and the Bureau Chief were depressed—anyone else in their shoes would feel the same way.

They felt gloomy for a while before the Bureau Chief's eyes suddenly lit up. He asked carefully, “If we really can't think of anything, how about we let Hong Dali have it? See what this rascal can come up with?”

“Hong Dali?” The mysterious man shook his head decisively. “We can't let him have it. At least not now. It's not that I don't bear to, it's just that I'm afraid he will put fine timber to petty use. See the things that he does, it's common for him to do that. If he uses Adamantium to make a whole lot of toys, it'll be too late for us to cry over spilled milk.”

Hearing that, the Bureau Chief was speechless.

He thought carefully. That was quite true. If they handed such a big piece of Adamantium to Hong Dali, and he used it for unimaginable toys—he shuddered.

“Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Let's wait for a while and talk about it later.” The mysterious man thought for a while and decided to change the topic. “Oh yes, those Dali beans. What is it, exactly? Did you manage to find out?”

“No.” The Bureau Chief shook his head decisively. “None of the botanists in the country have ever seen this plant. However, after a chemical a.n.a.lysis of the fruit, it found a very magical element, the molecular structure is very special. The most important thing is that this element has not been seen on Earth before.”

“So mysterious? Is this element harmful?” The mysterious man had eaten the Dali beans. And Hong Dali ate it as a snack every day. It was natural that he was nervous—If something happened to him it was still okay. But nothing could happen to Hong Dali!

“No.” Speaking of the unknown element in the Dali beans, the Bureau Chief had an odd expression on his face. “This element is actually a kind of fragrance. That's what gives the scent of the Dali beans. It's harmless to the human body. In fact, there will be no reaction. But it causes animals to grow bigger in size. It's speculated that the huge pangolin in the cave always ate it, that's how it grew to its current size.”

“Oh, that's fine then.” The mysterious man nodded. “As long as there is no danger ingesting it. It's interesting that it makes animals bigger.” The mysterious man laughed and said, “Let Hong Dali continue to have it as snacks, then. It's not like we can use it to raise livestock and eat it.”

Speaking up to this point, someone knocked on the door gently. The Bureau Chief said, “Come in, the door is not locked.”

“Bureau Chief, Leader,” Mu Huishou pushed open the door gently. “There's a Dr. Ai Hui who wishes to see you. He mentioned he managed to successfully research it. Bureau Chief, should I let him in?”

“Oh?” Hearing Mu Huishou, the Bureau Chief and the mysterious man's eyes glimmered. The Bureau Chief anxiously said, “Invite him in, quick!”

Seeing how anxious the Bureau Chief was, Mu Huishou was stunned.

What could cause these two big shots to get so anxious? Of course, that was what he thought but didn't dare ask. Mu Huishou hurriedly replied, “Okay, I'll invite him in.”

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a gray trench coat with gla.s.ses walked in slowly. He bowed immediately upon seeing the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief. “My greetings to both leaders.” The middle-aged man held a large briefcase. One could tell it was of good quality, a vast difference from those sold in the shops. In the middle of the briefcase was a retina recognition lock!

“Hmm, you're welcome.” The mysterious man nodded and calmly asked, “Dr. Ai Hui, that thing, did you research it successfully?”

“At the moment, it can only be considered an initial product.” Dr. Ai Hui placed his briefcase on the coffee table and started to open it. The retina recognition lock scanned his retina and opened with a “piak” sound.
