Chapter 499 Special Metals

Chapter 499 Special Metals

Solar system, asteroid belt.

Ten Galactic Corporation space-mining spacecraft are criss-crossing the asteroid field.

At present, Xiao Jun's space mining industry still focuses on mining gold, platinum, silver, emerald, diamond, jade and other precious mineral resources. After all, these are the best ways to make money. It's also the one that makes the most money.

Think about it, for example, if you pull 100 tons of rare earth back, you won't get as much money as pulling 100 kilograms of gold ore.

Anyway, the Galaxy Space Mining Company under Xiao Jun is not just as simple as space mining.

It also has a series of industrial chains.

Such as gold stores, jewelry stores, jadeite stores, and various wholesale companies.

Since I can bring back so many various rare and precious metal minerals from space, why should I sell them all to others? You can also set up your own various jewelry stores, or even auction houses.

Anyway, the Galaxy Auction House under Xiao Jun often auctions some rare things.

Like a 100-carat diamond, a 200-carat diamond. Dog head gold of various millstone sizes. A rough emerald stone the size of a millstone...wait...

"Ding dong... 3 kilometers ahead, 7 o'clock direction, metal elements have been detected so far, do you want to go to mine?" The No. 2 space mining spacecraft uploaded the news to the steward of the galaxy. Currently, the detection technology of these space mining spacecraft was replaced by Xiao Jun. It is more advanced than before. This technology is what he got from Bulma. After making some improvements, it was installed in ten of his own space mining spacecraft.

"Go and check, if you can mine it, then mine it back." The steward of the galaxy gave an order.

Soon, the news was sent back to Xiao Jun.

"Oh, found an ore of an unknown metal element?" Xiao Jun was slightly surprised.

Unknown metal elements, that is, metal elements that do not exist on the earth.

However, what exactly is this metal element will not be known until it is dug up and looked at.

Although it is a new elemental metal, Xiao Jun doesn't know how it is resistant to heat, corrosion, strength and hardness.

There is also its machinability, and it can also be combined with other metal elements.

All of this needs to be tested by Xiao Jun himself to know.

A week later, all ten ships returned.

And also brought back a cabin of unknown metal raw ore.

"Have someone send these metals to our steel production base. I'm going to test them in the electric arc furnace of the steel base." Xiao Jun said lightly.

A phone call passed, and immediately a convoy sent the ore to the steel production base.

Xiao Jun's steel electric arc furnace can reach a high temperature of 8000°.

In front of the electric arc furnace, there are only ten workers, and then there is Xiao Jun.

On the ground, there is a pile of ore.

These ores are large and small, the big ones are as big as a millstone, and the small ones are scattered, and some are the size of a thumb.

They are irregular in shape.

In terms of color, there are three main colors, first, dark gold, second, dark black, and third, gray.

Of course, there are more than just metal elements in these ores.

In fact, these ores contain a total of seven or eight metal elements, as well as rocks, soil residues, and other mixtures.

Unknown metal elements are only associated with it.

"Throw it in and start the trial." Xiao Jun ordered the workers.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao."

The electric arc furnace was turned on, and everyone threw all the ore into it.

"Combustion heating at 5000° first!" Xiao Jun said lightly.

boom...

The entire electric arc furnace began to heat up rapidly.

All of a sudden, the temperature of the entire electric arc furnace rose steadily!

Soon, these ore ore became red.

"Remove impurities!"

bang bang bang!

The machines started pounding the backlog up.

Soon, the rocks and dirt mixed in the ore all fell down one after another.

"Heightened to 6000°!"

Soon, many other metal elements were melted by the high temperature and fell down.

Not long after, most of the rocks, dirt, and other metals inside fell off one after another. Only one color of metal remains.

These metals are so hard that they didn't deform in the slightest under the pressure of the heavy-pressing machine.

They are dark golden in color, but they haven't been burnt red!

"What's the situation? These are the metal ones?" Xiao Jun frowned slightly.

Under the burning of 6000 ° high temperature, after 20 minutes, even the color has not changed.

In other words, the high temperature resistance of these metals must exceed 6000°!

"Turn on to the highest temperature, 8000°!" Xiao Jun said in a deep voice.

Seeing this result, he was very happy. After all, the better the high temperature resistance and the better the hardness, it is the best material for him.

The more qualified it is for making energy-absorbing devices!

Soon, the high temperature of 8000° also passed for 20 minutes. The dark golden metal ore still showed no signs of melting, not even turning red.

"Hiss...it's terrifying! This high temperature resistance is so strong? This is 8000°!" A staff member said in shock.

"Yeah, I've never seen such a high-temperature-resistant metal..."

"Mr. Xiao, what should we do now?" a person asked.

"Burn it for another half an hour."

Half an hour passed.

Still no sign of melting.

"Take it out." Xiao Jun said lightly, but there was excitement in his eyes.

Perhaps this unknown metal can become the raw material for energy-absorbing devices!

After taking it out, after it cooled down, it was still dark golden.

Since many other impurities in the ore have been removed, the remaining unknown metal ore has various strange shapes.

"Earth has never seen this kind of metal. It was discovered in the asteroid belt. This kind of metal does not exist on other planets in the solar system, or it was spread to the solar system from the Milky Way or even other galaxies." Xiao Jun thought to himself.

After all, some meteorites and the like are drifting in the universe.

"Now I'll give it a name first, it can't always be called Unknown Metal."

"Dark golden color, high strength, high temperature resistance, and definitely high density."

"Let's call it Mijin Metal." Xiao Jun thought for a while.

At this moment, the upper limit of its high temperature resistance, its strength, flexibility, corrosion resistance, etc. still need to be tested by Xiao Jun.

"Pack everything up and deliver it to the Galaxy Research Building over there in Wucheng." Xiao Jun ordered.

The high temperature resistance of dense gold metal must exceed 10,000 degrees, or even higher, so he plans to make an electric arc furnace himself to melt them.

The 8000° large electric arc furnace here can't meet his requirements at all!

So I went to develop and manufacture a small electric arc furnace by myself, but the temperature must be super high!
