253: Chapter 250 The Aftermath of the DisasterThe cave base was officially put into use. Zhang Mu controlled Kunpeng to carry the Director and the stacked metal boxes back to ”The World,” and then connected to the ”Senior Brother Zhou” puppet.

As expected, the Special Investigation Bureau would soon exchange for the necessary supplies.

Sure enough, just ten minutes later, the three Academicians and Ye Ming walked into Qingfeng Hall, followed by several staff members carrying metal boxes.

The boxes were lifted onto the table and opened. Senior Brother Zhou scanned the neatly arranged metal blocks inside and, according to the previously provided price list, announced the total price for this batch of rhenium.

Naturally, no one thought the Mountain Gate would shortchange them. They gathered in a circle to discuss how to allocate the ”stones” they had exchanged.

Their idea was to exchange a small amount of each item first, and then exchange in large quantities once they had obtained accurate data and suitability through experiments.

However, the ”stones” exchanged for this batch of rhenium were limited, not enough to purchase a standard unit of every item on the list.

Then, the group began to argue over which items to prioritize.

floating stones were a must; they were related to the propulsion system of the new generation of spaceships and were the most important heart. Without them, all subsequent plans would be empty talk.

Next was the type of materials for the main body of the spaceship construction.

Current spaceships were made of multiple separable structures spliced together. Each part had different functions, and the requirements for material selection varied.

For instance, the pointed nose did not need to return to the ground; it only needed to withstand aerodynamic heating when passing through the atmosphere.

Therefore, selecting some heat-resistant metals was sufficient, without needing to consider the impact on the safety of the astronauts or supplies inside.

But now, everyone’s new blueprint was a ”spaceship” that could freely travel between outer space and the Blue Planet, so it naturally couldn’t be designed like before.

After a heated discussion, they unanimously decided to select an associated mineral called ”Flame Crystal” from the list as the primary material for the hull.

Analyzing the name literally, Flame Crystal seemed related to high temperatures, such as emitting heat itself.

However, that was not the case.

The reason Zhang Mu named it Flame Crystal was simply because it emitted a red glow after mana was injected into it, and the transparent nature of the crystal appeared blurred, as if many impurities had been mixed in.

The texture of this crystal was not only exceptionally hard but also extremely resilient, making it the best material for the hull.

Of course, Ye Ming and the three Academicians didn’t know that Flame Crystal was a mineral Zhang Mu had carefully selected specifically for them to build the hull.

The group only felt it was suitable for their spaceship concept through the suggestive and inductive list descriptions that Zhang Mu had specially written.

Having resolved these two aspects, the final and most important one was the energy source for the floating stones.

Wanting to activate the floating stones and control the power levels freely was a very troublesome issue.

They muttered for a while but had no good ideas, so they planned to set it aside for now and put it on the agenda once research on the floating stones had progressed.

Zhang Mu, in the shadows, couldn’t stand it. At the rate they were dawdling, when would they ever go to the moon to mine?

He was set to depart for the Lake Royal Capital in a few days and might have to deal with the unrest in various cities later; he had no time to waste on them.

So, he simply spoke the plan he had long considered through Senior Brother Zhou’s mouth.

For the Blue Planet, which had never encountered a mana-based civilization, interpreting the power control of floating stones using a modern industrial system was not quite feasible.

To put it simply, mana was not oil; there were no mature technologies to convert and utilize it.

Treating the floating stone as an engine and mana as oil to apply modern power technology wouldn’t work.

Therefore, Zhang Mu changed his approach and directly designed an integrated power control console for them that they could use immediately.
