CIATB Chapter 187 Meteorite Iron!
Chapter 187 Meteorite Iron!
Qin Xiao was taken aback.
"What defect?"
"Energy output is unstable."
Zhang Yan explained.
"Xingtian has too many weapon systems."
"The energy core will overload every time it is used at full power."
"It can only last for a maximum of three minutes."
Qin Xiao frowned.
"What should we do then?"
"Replace the core."
Zhang Yan said calmly.
"Or find that special substance that was missing when it was made back then."
Qin Xiao became interested.
"What substance?"
Zhang Yan did not answer immediately.
He closed his eyes.
The system interface appeared in my mind.
【Mo Family Mechanical Beast - Xing Tian】
Current Status: Unstable Energy Output
[Reason: Lack of core stabilizer – meteorite iron]
[Note: Meteorite iron is also one of the core materials for crafting the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Symbols of the Mohist School.]
Zhang Yan opened his eyes.
"Meteorite Iron"
He looked at Qin Xiao.
"A special metal that only exists in meteorites."
Qin Xiao was stunned.
"Meteorite?"
"right."
Zhang Yan nodded.
"And it's not an ordinary meteorite."
"It must be a meteorite containing special elements."
Qin Xiao remained silent for a few seconds.
"Where can I find this thing?"
Zhang Yan remained silent.
He was just leaning against the edge of the pool.
Watching the steam rising from the ceiling.
Meteorite iron.
This thing is really hard to find.
But it's not like there are absolutely no clues.
The system just gave a prompt.
There was once a meteorite shower in China.
The location is in the Gobi Desert in the northwest.
The time was thirty years ago.
The military cordoned off that area at the time.
It was publicly claimed to be a military exercise.
But in fact……
They are recovering meteorite fragments.
Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes.
It seems we'll have to trouble Qin Changfeng again.
……
Qin Xiao was soaking in the hot spring, his mind still racing.
"Brother Yan, that meteorite iron you mentioned..."
He paused.
"Can my dad get some?"
Zhang Yan did not answer immediately.
He reached out and parted the petals on the water's surface.
"You can give it a try."
Qin Xiao immediately sat up straight.
"Then I'll call him now."
"No rush."
Zhang Yan raised his hand.
"Wait a minute."
Qin Xiao was taken aback.
Why?
"Because this isn't something you can just take anywhere."
Zhang Yan looked at him.
"Thirty years ago, the fragments recovered by the military from that meteor shower were classified as top secret."
"You need a good reason to take it out."
Qin Xiao frowned.
"What should we do then?"
Zhang Yan closed his eyes.
"I'll figure something out."
Qin Xiao opened his mouth.
But in the end, I didn't ask any more questions.
He knew that since Zhang Yan had said that, he must already have a plan.
The two soaked for another half hour.
Zhang Yan got up and left the hot spring pool.
Qin Xiao followed behind.
"Brother Yan, are you going back?"
"Um."
Zhang Yan dried himself off.
"You stay here."
"Keep an eye on Xing Tian for me."
Qin Xiao was taken aback.
"Why are you staring at it?"
"Observe its energy fluctuations."
Zhang Yan put on his clothes.
Record the time and frequency of each overload.
"This data is very important for the transformation."
Qin Xiao nodded.
"Understood."
Zhang Yan walked out of the hot spring room.
Xing Tian was still standing at the door.
Like a sculpture.
Zhang Yan walked up to it.
He reached out and placed his hand on its chest armor.
"Entering monitoring mode."
Xingtian's electronic eyes lit up.
"Command confirmed."
"Monitoring mode has been activated."
Zhang Yan withdrew his hand.
He turned and left the resort.
……
It was already 3 p.m. when we got back to the villa.
Nie Qingcheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She was wearing a black slip dress.
Two long, fair legs were crossed.
He was holding a tablet computer.
The file is being processed.
Zhang Yan walked over.
He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
"What are you busy with?"
Nie Qingcheng did not turn around.
"The development plan for the Changbai Mountain area."
She opened a folder.
"The construction team has already arrived on site."
"The infrastructure is expected to be completed next month."
Zhang Yan glanced down at the screen.
The above is a detailed construction drawing.
Geothermal pipelines, heating systems, and power facilities.
Each item is clearly labeled.
"Well done."
Zhang Yan whispered in her ear.
Nie Qingcheng's ears turned slightly red.
"Stop fooling around."
She pushed Zhang Yan's face away.
"I still have to work."
Zhang Yan smiled.
He let go of her hand and sat down next to her.
"Oh, right."
Nie Qingcheng suddenly remembered something.
"Have Qin Xiao's materials arrived yet?"
"not yet."
Zhang Yan shook his head.
"But it should be soon."
Nie Qingcheng put down the tablet computer.
She turned around and looked at Zhang Yan.
"Are you hiding something from me again?"
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment.
"no."
"That's a lie."
Nie Qingcheng reached out and poked his chest.
"Your eyes always dart away when you're in trouble."
Zhang Yan sighed.
"You can't hide it from me."
He took Nie Qingcheng's hand.
"I need a special material."
"It's called meteorite iron."
Nie Qingcheng frowned.
"This name sounds hard to find."
"really."
Zhang Yan nodded.
"This thing only exists in meteorites."
"And it must be a meteorite containing special elements."
Nie Qingcheng remained silent for a few seconds.
"Do you need my help?"
"Need not."
Zhang Yan shook his head.
"I will handle this."
Nie Qingcheng looked at him.
There was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Be careful."
"I will."
Zhang Yan leaned closer.
He gently kissed her forehead.
"Believe me."
Nie Qingcheng remained silent.
She simply held Zhang Yan's hand tightly.
……
8 PM.
Zhang Yan sat in the study.
A laptop is placed in front of me.
The screen displays a classified military document.
[Northwest Gobi Desert Meteorite Shower Event]
Location: 200 kilometers southeast
[Recovered meteorite fragments: 127 pieces]
[There are 3 fragments containing special elements]
[Current storage location: Kunlun Base, Area A, Warehouse No. 3]
Zhang Yan stared at the screen.
Fingers tapped on the keyboard.
Kunlun Base.
It's that same place again.
He picked up his phone.
He dialed Qin Changfeng's number.
The phone rang three times.
connected.
"Zhang Yan?"
Qin Changfeng's voice came through the receiver.
"Uncle Qin".
Zhang Yan got straight to the point.
"I need something."
"explain."
"Meteorite Iron"
Zhang Yan paused.
"These are fragments recovered from the meteor shower thirty years ago."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
How did you know about this?
"I have my own channels."
Zhang Yan did not explain.
"I need one of the fragments that contains a special element."
Qin Changfeng's breathing became heavy.
"Do you know what this means?"
"Know."
Zhang Yan's voice was calm.
That's why I contacted you.
Qin Changfeng remained silent for a few more seconds.
"Can."
After all, we had agreed that we could come to him directly if we needed anything.
"Can you tell me what you plan to do?"
Although he could give the items to Zhang Yan, Qin Changfeng still wanted to know what Zhang Yan was planning to do.
"Of course..."
Zhang Yan paused slightly at this point, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"A more powerful mech."
