The biting cold wind brought the chill of winter. After a sudden rain, the temperature in Haicheng plummeted to about three degrees, which was so cold that people could shiver while walking on the street.

Such a low temperature will basically have no impact on a strong person like Xie Feng who has undergone two life energy evolution transformations.

In the blink of an eye, it is already December and the end of the year.

On Xiejia Island, the whistling sea breeze made people's faces hurt. Wang Dashan, who was on routine guard patrol, covered his face and said, "Damn, why is it so cold this winter? The brothers on the night shift tonight must bear it."

"Brother Dashan, look, there is another cargo ship coming towards us." A guard behind Wang Dashan pointed to the looming large ship on the sea and said: "This is the third ship this month.

What is it?"

Wang Dashan glanced in the direction he was pointing, turned around and said, "That's a delivery for the boss. You don't care what they deliver. There are some things you shouldn't know so don't ask. Do you understand?"

"know!"

"Okay, I've rested enough and continue working. After the patrol, I went back to the office to turn on the heater." Wang Dashan stood up and stretched his hands and feet, and then continued to patrol the coast. After walking along the coast, he had to walk around in the mountains.

...A cargo ship slowly stopped on the sea near Xiejia Island. The cargo on the ship was the crude oil transported by Reed.

"Lot, thank you for your hard work, come and have a cigarette!"

Xie Feng said with a smile, took out a Honghe stick from the cigarette case and handed it to Lot.

Lot was the right confidant sent by Reed to deliver crude oil to Xie Feng. Over time, Xie Feng became familiar with this cold man.

"Thank you!" Lott smiled faintly, took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a weird lighter.

Since Xie Feng created a large number of robots, more petroleum energy crystals are needed, especially in the increasingly larger cave production bases. Various large-scale equipment require powerful energy to drive. Every day, energy is needed.

The consumption is also a large number of words.

In addition, now that the submarine base has begun construction, Xie Feng's crude oil orders from Reed are getting bigger and bigger.

"How much did you send this time?" Xie Feng asked Lot.

Because of smuggling, Xie Feng's order could not be delivered all at once, and Reed needed to transport it in several batches very carefully.

Lot took a drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke, which was immediately blown away by the whistling sea breeze.

"Only more than thirty tons." Rote said calmly, "I don't know why, the price of crude oil has risen sharply recently, and it is difficult for us to get the goods. The boss asked me to tell Mr. Xie that the next batch of goods may be

It will be delivered later."

Xie Feng frowned, "How long will it take?"

"I don't know, it will take two months at the earliest! The boss has tried his best to allocate supplies to Mr. Xie this month. Other customers are urging us hard, and we have no choice." Rote said helplessly.

"Two months is so long?"

Xie Feng fell silent and slowly exhaled milky white smoke.

Two thousand prospectors, three hundred logisticians, five hundred guardians, and one hundred diggers, a total of nearly three thousand robots working around the clock, consuming a huge amount of energy. In addition, there are more than a dozen high-power production equipment

, hundreds of deep-sea transport boats used to transport steel and finished metal parts, and the 100 tons of crude oil Xie Feng just ordered will not last long!

If we can't get the goods after two months, or if we don't get much, won't Xie Feng's entire plan be forced to stop?

Some time ago, explorers discovered B-level energy on the seabed. However, after the diggers mined it, they unfortunately discovered that the reserves of this B-level energy deposit were pitifully small. After mining, only enough material containing B-level energy was obtained.

Xie Feng used it for research.

"No! Before finding a new energy source, we must find a way to ensure an uninterrupted supply of petroleum energy. Otherwise, how will we solve the need for larger amounts of energy when building submarine bases in the future?"

Thinking of this, Xie Feng had a vague plan in mind.

After asking Lot to sink thirty tons of crude oil into the seabed at a designated location, Xie Feng arranged everything before returning to his secret underground laboratory to continue working.

Now, in addition to continuing to improve the data database, Xie Feng's work is also to study various unknown resources discovered by the explorer robot on the seabed.

These resources include substances that can extract chemical elements, as well as seabed ores with extremely high metal content. There are many types, which Xie Feng has never been exposed to and understood. What Xie Feng has to do is to use the various technologies he has mastered to research

Characteristics of these unknown substances to identify whether they have any use value.

This is a complicated process. Basically, Xie Feng spends most of his time studying these unknown substances every day.

That morning, the excavators delivered the samples of suspected Lrent metal to Xiejia Island via the "War Fish" high-speed transport machine designed by Xie Feng.

"War Fish" is a small transport machine that looks like fish tears. It is equipped with a powerful drive engine and can sail at an astonishing speed on the seabed. Its main function is to transport the energy crystals needed by the explorers scattered on the seabed.

At present, the prospector robots are only exploring near Chinese waters, which is relatively close to Xiejia Island. But in the future, as the prospectors go deeper and deeper into other sea areas, it will be impossible to spend time coming back to replace the energy crystals.

After obtaining a sample of suspected Lerent metal, Xie Feng immediately entered the laboratory to conduct research.

Special metals naturally require special techniques to study their characteristics, and Xie Feng, who comes from the interstellar era, does not lack the skills to identify various rare metals.

In a laboratory with lights as bright as daytime, Xie Feng, who was wearing work clothes, placed a piece of milky white and heavy deep-sea rock on the energy cutting device. After correcting the position, Xie Feng started the energy cutting device, and then a very bright light knife struck.

Below, the milky white rock was suddenly divided into two, with a flat and smooth cut surface that actually reflected a special luster under the light.

Xie Feng took a look at the energy cutting device, which showed the energy consumption required to cut the raw metal ore. When cutting materials with different densities, the energy consumed by the energy cutter is different. This design can make the user more intuitive.

Determine the density and properties of the material being cut.

"It doesn't seem like Lundrent metal, but the texture is very hard." Xie Feng thought in his mind, and cut the raw metal ore into several uniform equal parts for further research.

According to the data sent back by the excavators, the place where this special metal was discovered was near an extinct submarine volcano, and the reserve is very huge. If this unknown metal can have extremely high utilization value, it will definitely be a huge blow to the construction of submarine bases.

of help.

Xie Feng spent the whole day in the laboratory. He was so immersed in research that he didn't even eat lunch. He had been studying the characteristics of the milky white unknown metal.

With continued in-depth research, Xie Feng's inner surprise became more and more intense.

Xie Feng conducted various hardness tests on the special metal extracted from the metal ore, and the test results showed that it was high-grade, even a more advanced metal material than Lundrent metal.

After receiving this result, Xie Feng could not suppress his excitement. It turned out to be a high-grade metal material with a texture of A+ grade. Compared with the C-grade ink gold, it was more than two grades higher.

Since this metal was found near an undersea volcano, Xie Feng named it "Yangang", a metal substance that can be used to make various advanced equipment.

How could Xie Feng be willing to use such a good thing to build an undersea base? It would be a waste.

Xie Feng was in a good mood after discovering Yan Gang, but he didn't realize that he had been working from morning to now and even forgot about lunch and dinner. When he looked at the time, sweat! It was already ten forty in the evening.

"This is called forgetting to eat and sleep." Xie Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and there was a gurgling sound in his stomach.

There are still people on duty in the canteen at night, which is convenient for some employees who have the habit of eating late night snacks. Of course, there is an additional charge for late night snacks. After all, it is very hard for the canteen employees to work overtime.

Xie Feng simply tidied up the laboratory where he had been working all day, and then called Fang Shaolong, Wang Dashan and others to have some drinks together.

Hearing Xie Feng's treat, Fang Shaolong ran over without saying a word. First, he ordered a bunch of delicious food. Xie Feng, a big boss, treats guests with nothing. The late night snacks in Xiejiadao canteen are not

Generally expensive!

"Damn, can you, a young lady, eat so much?"

Xie Feng was speechless. This boy actually ordered three servings of bird's nest porridge.

Fang Shaolong smiled mysteriously. At this time, his cell phone rang. Xie Feng's ears were sharp and he heard a girl's voice on the phone saying: "Shaolong, Yingying and I have come down. Where are you?"

Let’s have supper.”

Fang Shaolong said quickly: "We are in the third box. Come here quickly. I will wait for you at the door. There is a big pig to treat you. Hey, let's kill him."

"Fuck!" Xie Feng's eyes widened. When Fang Shaolong hung up the phone, he immediately grabbed him and asked, "You kid, since when did you have an affair with your sister on the island?"

"Hehe! Not long after we met, the new guy was assigned to my old group. I had nothing to do that day so I went to chat with my old friends, so..." Fang Shaolong said with a proud smile.

"Haha, congratulations!" Xie Feng laughed immediately, "How's it going? How's the progress?"

"We're still dating, Fourth Brother, I can't help myself tonight, you have money anyway, haha! No more, I'll pick up Xiaojing at the door." Fang Shaolong stepped away after saying this, because Xie Feng had already kicked him.

Kicked over.

"Damn, the salary I give you is still small?"

Wang Dashan and others on the side laughed and watched Xie Feng and Fang Shaolong having fun, saying to themselves that it was so damn good to follow such a boss.

Soon, a burst of conversation came from outside the door, and Xie Feng and others could hear it clearly.

A girl's thin voice sounded, "Shaolong, who do you think is treating us? Do we know each other? If we don't, I feel a little embarrassed."
