Chapter 310: Chapter 309: Hanchuan Iron Mine (Requesting Votes) Chapter 310: Chapter 309: Hanchuan Iron Mine (Requesting Votes) “Ooo~”

On the pristine white ice plains, the Ice Horned Whale, with bubbles, weaved through the ice pillars.

As it passed an ice pillar that resembled a spike, the Ice Horned Whale suddenly let out a joyful cry and turned to nibble at a certain spot on the ice pillar.

Shao Zifeng watched its actions quietly, recalling the pitted ice pillars he had seen before.

After nibbling for a while, a icy blue crystal rolled down.

He looked at the data on the screen, not expecting that both Forgotten Cold River Ice Crystal and Ice Marrow would be inside these ice pillars.

If he thought about it deeply, could the Yin Ice Mountains that intermittently appeared on the surface of the sea have been gnawed up by them…

The thought didn’t seem impossible at all!

With the Forgotten Cold River Ice Crystal in its mouth, the Ice Horned Whale shook its head and swam up to Shao Zifeng.

With a smile, Shao Zifeng extended his hand and patted its head.

“We’ve had our fill, you eat.”

“Ooo~”

The Ice Horned Whale hesitated for a moment, its sharp teeth lightly tapped, and the crystal shattered into powder before being ingested.

In the following time, the Ice Horned Whale occasionally dug out more Forgotten Cold River Ice Crystals from the ice pillars.

After each dig, it would ask Shao Zifeng if they wanted any.

Only after confirming that Shao Zifeng wasn’t eating would it happily eat them.

To it, this exchange was like playing a game.

Crack!

A piece of Forgotten Cold River Ice Crystal was bitten into powder.

Qiuqiu enviously watched the Ice Horned Whale’s sparkling teeth, suddenly feeling inferior in every aspect.

…Ts^Ts…

Shao Zifeng habitually scanned the surroundings and as he glanced over the ice fragments gnawed by the Ice Horned Whale, a tiny light point suddenly showed an energy feedback in his peripheral vision.

“Ooo?”

The Ice Horned Whale, just about to move forward, had its tail caught by Shao Zifeng.

Eventually, with the help of the Ice Horned Whale, the bubbles were pushed to the front of the ice block.

Shao Zifeng carefully reached out his hand and fiddled… and froze it.

He hastily retracted his hand, and in just that brief moment, his fingers swelled up purple from the cold.

With his heart still pounding, he looked at the pile of broken ice and had to ask for the Ice Horned Whale’s help again.

“Ooo~”

The Ice Horned Whale shook its head and was holding a stone in its mouth.

The stone’s surface was frost-white, adorned with star-bright crystals.

Shao Zifeng, still nervous, shrank his hand back, not daring to catch it directly.

A flash of blue light passed in the depths of his eyes.

[Name]: Forgotten Cold River Iron Ore

[Property]: Ice

[Quality]:

[Condition]: Intact

[Description]: Produced in the Forgotten Cold River, originating from the sub-crustal movements in the river, naturally cooled in an extremely cold environment, possessing magical effects.

[Function]: A natural Elemental Conduction ore, which with increasing quality can maximize the capacity for elemental output.

!!!

Upon seeing the description of the ore, Shao Zifeng’s heart violently thumped a few times.

But then he thought of something, and his expression became uncertain.

Having possessed an officially produced special weapon before, he was very clear about what that brief statement meant.

This story began with the “Unknown Recovery Incident.”

At that time, the chaos had just ended, and countries were seeking new development paths based on the changes in the world.

At that moment, “Bonding Reaction” entered the eyes of the major official institutions because it appeared so infrequently. People with this kind of reaction were called “Chosen Ones.”

The first batch of Combat Training Masters with “Bonding Reactions” were gathered, and countries launched targeted research projects hoping to help these fortunate individuals develop their abilities.

They explored career paths beyond that of a Combat Training Master.

However, as research deepened, the situation for these “Chosen Ones” became awkward.

In the beginning, research institutions tried to teach them skills.

But practice proved that due to differences in physical structure and strength, humans could not learn the skills of mutant creatures, and the elemental energy would quickly dissipate when removed from its source.

Afterward, it was suggested to exploit the advantages of close combat using martial techniques, but this idea was soon rejected.

The elemental power produced by the “Bonding Reaction” was only about one-tenth of that of the pet beasts themselves.

Of course, this wasn’t the main reason for its rejection; even if the intensity of elemental power wasn’t sufficient, it could still be effective in one-on-one combat.

The key issue was, with mutant creatures available for battle, which Combat Training Master would be foolish enough to engage in face-to-face combat?

Later, as chemical weapons gradually faded from the historical stage, researchers proposed whether they could be incorporated into cold weapons.

Various experiments were then conducted vigorously, as at that time there was a lack of understanding regarding energy materials, and high-strength alloys were used for testing.

After several rounds of testing, researchers found that explosive properties like fire and lightning easily destroyed the weapon’s structure, while gentler attributes like water, earth, and wood had virtually no enhancing effect on them.

After investing a significant amount of funds and time, many countries gradually abandoned the development of the “Bonding Reaction.”

Only the powerful nation Daxia continued to invest funds.

Years later, through relentless effort, researchers discovered that whether in humans or mutant creatures, when releasing elemental power, certain tissues in the body formed precise, fine elemental circuits, jestingly referred to by some scholars as “meridians.”

Cold weapons made of alloy materials failed to channel the power of elements simply because they lacked these “circuits” and the inherent strength was insufficient.

After years of incessant trials, Daxia’s researchers eventually replicated part of these circuits through instruments and subsequently used elemental ore, which had higher resistance to elemental energy, to create a special weapon.

It was only possible to incorporate one such circuit into a weapon with current technology, as elemental circuits are incredibly intricate.

This type of weapon was the katana previously given to Luo Feng.

This kind of weapon, using elemental ore and possessing a single elemental circuit, effectively solved the difficulty of bearing elemental power.

However, it was discovered during testing that although the weapon could endure more elemental force, the efficiency of elemental conduction was terribly low, and due to the extremely high cost, it was not feasible to equip on a large scale.

Therefore, even Daxia decided to cease funding and sealed all the technology, waiting for a future time when the necessary technology was mastered to unseal it.

Thus ended the global exploration of the “Bonding Reaction.”

The academic community generally believed that the “Bonding Reaction” only slightly enhanced physical strength and was more likely to produce stronger individuals, but the inherent elemental abilities weren’t considered noteworthy.

Shao Zifeng looked at the ore in the Ice Horned Whale’s mouth with an expression that fluctuated between gloom and uncertainty.

There was both surprise and bewilderment.

This ore naturally contained elemental circuits.

That meant…

Shao Zifeng’s heart was pounding fiercely.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if this ore were to be acquired by the national level, it could very likely become a strategic material.

It might even provoke a revolution among the world’s top Combat Training Masters.

However, this was different from both the Forgotten Cold River Ice Crystal and the Forgotten Cold River Bone Marrow; it was more dangerous.

One wrong move could easily result in death.

Even average powerhouses wouldn’t dare to touch it.
