Chapter 188 Replacement!
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Qin Changfeng's breathing became heavy.
"A more powerful mech?"
His voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Zhang Yan leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.
"right."
Qin Changfeng did not answer immediately.
Zhang Yan could hear faint sounds coming from the other end of the phone.
It looked like someone was flipping through files.
It also sounds like typing on a keyboard.
How much do you need?
Qin Changfeng's voice rang out again.
This time, his tone was more serious.
One piece is enough.
Zhang Yan paused.
"The kind that contains special elements."
Qin Changfeng fell silent again.
This time the silence lasted even longer.
Zhang Yan did not urge him.
He knew Qin Changfeng was weighing his options.
Meteorite iron is not an ordinary strategic material.
That was something the military had sealed away for thirty years.
You need a good reason to bring it out.
Moreover, one must bear the corresponding risks.
"Can."
Qin Changfeng finally spoke.
"Can you tell me what kind of mecha it is?"
Zhang Yan smiled.
His voice was very soft.
But every word was crystal clear.
"The kind that's even stronger than the Black Scorpion."
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"You little brat."
Qin Changfeng's tone carried a hint of helplessness.
"Okay, I promise you."
"But there's a condition."
Zhang Yan raised an eyebrow.
"explain."
"Let me see it after you finish making it."
Qin Changfeng's voice carried a hint of anticipation.
"Just taking a look, I don't ask for anything else."
Zhang Yan thought about it.
"Can."
"Then it's settled."
Qin Changfeng paused.
"The item will be delivered to you in three days."
"Thanks, Uncle Qin."
"You're welcome."
Qin Changfeng's voice became serious.
"I'm just investing in the future."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Zhang Yan put down his phone.
He stood up and walked to the window.
The night outside was very dark.
The city lights in the distance were bright.
But Zhang Yan's gaze pierced through those lights.
It landed in a more distant place.
I've got the meteorite iron.
But this is only the first step.
Three more materials are needed to make the Azure Dragon.
Moreover, each of these items is even harder to find than meteorite iron.
Zhang Yan sighed.
He turned and walked back to his desk.
Turn on the laptop.
The screen displays a detailed list of materials.
【Mo Family Mechanical Beast - Azure Dragon】
[Core Material Requirements]
【1. Meteorite Iron (Already Acquired)】
2. Deep Sea Mystic Crystal (Not yet obtained)
3. Lightning-struck Wood (Not yet obtained)
4. Fragment of the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship x3 (1 already obtained)
Zhang Yan stared at the screen.
Fingers tapped on the keyboard.
Deep-sea crystal.
This thing only exists in ocean trenches more than 5,000 meters below the surface.
Moreover, it can only be formed under specific geological conditions.
Lightning-struck wood.
It must be an ancient tree that has been struck by lightning more than nine times.
Furthermore, the internal structure must be maintained.
As for the fragments of the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship.
Zhang Yan only had one piece.
The whereabouts of the remaining two pieces are unknown.
Zhang Yan rubbed his temples.
None of these materials are easy to find.
But he must find it.
Because the ruins are awakening.
Time is running out for him.
Zhang Yan turned off the computer.
He stood up and walked out of the study.
Nie Qingcheng is already asleep.
She lay on her side on the bed.
One hand rests on the pillow.
His breathing was even and long.
Zhang Yan tiptoed over.
He gently kissed her forehead.
Then I lay down next to her.
He closed his eyes.
……
Two days later.
Suburbs of Jinghai City.
A black military SUV stopped at the entrance of the Tianji Security Base.
The car door opened.
A middle-aged man in military uniform stepped down.
His epaulettes had two gold stars on them.
Qin Changfeng.
Qin Xiao was already waiting at the door.
"dad."
He walked over quickly.
Qin Changfeng nodded.
"I brought the things."
He turned around and took a silver-white metal box from the car.
The box wasn't big.
It's only the size of a suitcase.
But it's very heavy.
Qin Xiao took the box.
I almost lost my grip.
"Is this meteorite iron?"
He looked at the box with curiosity.
"right."
Qin Changfeng said calmly.
"There is a piece of material the size of a fist inside."
"The kind that contains special elements."
Qin Xiao swallowed.
He could feel the weight coming from inside the box.
That's not just ordinary weight.
It is a sense of oppression that comes from a substance with extremely high density.
"Where is Brother Yan?"
Qin Changfeng asked.
"It's inside."
Qin Xiao pointed to the depths of the base.
He said he was going into seclusion for a few days.
Qin Changfeng frowned.
"Seclusion?"
"right."
Qin Xiao nodded.
"He said he wanted to replace Xing Tian's core."
Qin Changfeng was taken aback.
"Xingtian?"
"It's that bronze statue of Guan Yu."
Qin Xiao explained.
"Brother Yan said it has flaws."
"It needs to be repaired using meteorite iron."
Qin Changfeng remained silent for a few seconds.
"Take me to see him."
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment.
"Dad, Yan-ge said not to be disturbed."
"Am I not human?"
Qin Changfeng glanced at him.
Qin Xiao immediately shut up.
He led Qin Changfeng into the base.
The factory buildings pass through the ground.
We arrived at the basement level.
Then there's the second basement level.
Finally, they stopped in front of a metal door on the third basement level.
There was a note stuck on the door.
[Currently in seclusion, please do not disturb]
Qin Changfeng glanced at the note.
Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Zhang Yan, it's me."
There was no response from inside the door.
Qin Changfeng knocked a few more times.
"I've brought the things to you."
This time, a sound came from inside the door.
"Just leave it at the door."
Zhang Yan's voice was calm.
"I'll come out as soon as I'm done with my work."
Qin Changfeng frowned.
But in the end, he didn't say anything more.
He turned to look at Qin Xiao.
"Put the box here."
Qin Xiao nodded.
He carefully placed the box at the doorway.
Then they left the third basement level with Qin Changfeng.
……
Inside the door.
Zhang Yan stood in front of Xing Tian.
His hand rested on Xing Tian's chest armor.
The holographic projection unfolded in the air.
This shows a diagram of the internal structure of Xingtian.
【Mo Family Mechanical Beast - Xing Tian】
Current Status: Unstable Energy Output
[Reason: Lack of core stabilizer – meteorite iron]
Recommendation: Replace the power core.
Zhang Yan stared at the projection.
Fingers slide in the air.
The location of Xingtian's energy core was revealed.
It was a spherical device located in the center of the chest.
It is about 30 centimeters in diameter.
The surface is covered with intricate patterns.
Zhang Yan took a deep breath.
He walked to the door.
open the door.
There was that silver-white metal box outside.
Zhang Yan brought the box in.
Close the door.
He walked to the worktable.
Open the box.
Inside lay a piece of black metal about the size of a fist.
The surface is pitted and uneven.
It looked like it had been scorched by high temperatures.
But under the lights.
The pitted surfaces reflected a faint blue light.
Zhang Yan reached out and picked up the piece of metal.
It's quite heavy.
It is three times heavier than lead of the same volume.
Special substance detected: meteorite iron
Purity: 98.7%
[Can be used for core modification of mechanical beasts]
The system notification sounded.
Zhang Yan nodded.
He placed the meteorite iron on the worktable.
Then he walked up to Xing Tian.
"Entering maintenance mode."
Xingtian's electronic eyes dimmed.
The armor on his chest slowly opened.
The intricate internal mechanical structure is exposed.
