Chapter 24: Three Crystals
"All right."

The discussion lasted for several minutes, and Director Bai interrupted: "Since it was Kong Ji who proposed it, I believe him. Maybe he can really research the elixir. However, this matter is serious, so please vote."

"Raise your hands if you agree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Bai was the first to raise his hand.

Soon after, people on several screens also raised their hands.

"Very good, passed with a high vote."

"It seems everyone agrees."

Director Bai put down his right hand: "Very good, then I will find a way to communicate with Country M about the exchange. Also, Professor Li, notify Kong Ji to start preparing for alchemy."

"Has the director approved it?"

When Kong Ji got the news, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

“I thought it would take a while longer.”

"Everything related to Bai Wu cannot be delayed." Li Dingyuan waved his hand and said, "But the reason why it was passed so quickly this time is also because of your own reasons. Although everyone does not understand alchemy, they are willing to support you."

"I know."

Kong Ji looked serious.

If someone else came and saw the alchemy report that seemed like a joke, there would probably be no need to hold a meeting to discuss it. It would be rejected right from the start and might even lead to punishment.

"I'm glad you understand." Li Dingyuan said, "The notice will be issued soon. The base will prepare all the necessary materials. Country M will also send people to negotiate. The exchange should be successful."

"But you can't say for sure. Maybe the M countrymen will just insist on not agreeing."

"In any case, the bureau still strongly supports your experiment in alchemy. You should prepare yourself. Even if it doesn't work this time, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Kong Ji heard this and said, "Okay."

Then he turned around and picked up a drawing from the table behind him.

"I have already drawn the blueprints for the furnace. Once they are approved, we can start right away."

Three days later.

At this moment, the black hole in the center of Kunlun Base has become a construction site. Several excavation tools are working at full capacity in the glass house, and the sound of drilling is endless.

"Loose, loose!"

Someone suddenly yelled.

Kong Ji hurried over.

After several hours and damaging three drill bits, a crack finally appeared in the one square meter piece of land around the black hole.

A circle of yellow transparent substance can be seen on both sides of the gap extending downward. It looks like yellow jade on the outside, but its texture is many times harder than that of diamond. It is even harder than diamond.

"Okay, it's finally loose!"

Kong Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

I knew that this piece of white foggy land was hard, but I didn't expect it to be so hard.

Even with the hardest drill bit, after drilling for several hours, only a crack could be created. It is unknown how long it would take to dig out a whole piece.

"Does the alchemy furnace really need something so precious?"

Dong Dingguo walked forward, his eyes full of reluctance.

The entire Kunlun base is just a piece of land alienated by the white fog. There are countless experts and professors watching it. Every time they want to take a little bit of it for research, they have to go through many procedures. However, Kong Ji now wants to dig out such a large piece to build a furnace, which is simply a pain in the ass.

"It's best to use it." Kong Ji said with a smile: "Captain, you don't have to be reluctant. Although the area of ​​this land is not large, the depth is not small. It extends at least 20 meters underground. I can only dig out a few dozen kilograms at most. It won't be much."

Dong Dingguo said with regret: "I just can't bear to part with it. Such a precious thing, they actually agreed to let you use it to build an alchemy furnace. This piece of land is no longer ordinary land, it is real yellow crystal!"

Citrine.

The new name of the land in front of us is very vivid in terms of appearance. The glass around us that has also undergone changes has also been renamed white crystal.

The two major substances are the only two white fog creations in Kunlun Base.

"Don't worry, Captain. The things won't disappear. They will just exist in a different way."

Kong Ji laughed and said, "Besides, building an alchemy furnace requires more than just yellow crystals and white crystals. The fire crystals from the Qinling base should also be sent over. People are not that reluctant to give them up."

Three major crystals.

These are the three kinds of white mist creations that Kong Ji needs to make the elixir this time.

Among them, yellow crystal and white crystal come from the Kunlun base, and their prototypes are a mountain and a piece of glass.

These two types of crystals not only have the properties of hardness and memory, but are also resistant to high temperatures and can withstand flames of thousands of degrees for hours without melting.

After melting, the new substance formed by mixing together has all the characteristics of the two crystals at the same time, which is incredible.

Another type of fire crystal comes from the Qinling base.

The prototype is a small shallow coal mine below the location of the black hole on the Qinling base. It has no development value in itself, the reserves are too small, and the transportation is difficult, so no one has ever mined it.

As a result, after being affected by the white fog, part of the coal ore in this coal mine actually mutated.

The appearance has changed from the original black to a flame-like orange, and it is resistant to burning, smokeless, and easy to heat.

A piece of fire crystal, once ignited in a white fog environment, can easily reach a temperature of over 5000 degrees and can continue to burn for 24 hours, which is simply unimaginable.

Kong Ji was going to use three kinds of crystals to make the elixir this time. The white and yellow crystals would be used to build the elixir furnace, and the fire crystal would be used as the flame for making the elixir.

The three major crystals are ready, and the preliminary preparations for alchemy are finally completed.

"Forget it. Since the higher-ups have already approved it, I can't say anything." Dong Dingguo shook his head helplessly. "I do have another thing I want to ask you. How is your practice of Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong going recently?"

Zhoutian Chunyang Gong has become a new martial art that everyone in the Baiwu Investigation Bureau is practicing.

Kong Ji was also pretending to practice.

However, for most people, Zhoutian Chunyang Gong is not as simple and easy to practice as Sanshiliuqiao Gong. This method requires a lot of talent and understanding. Some people cannot get started for a long time, some progress slowly, and some people are very smooth, but none of them can compare to Zhang Zhaoyang.

Most people are still in the early stages.

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

Kong Ji asked.

Dong Dingguo said: "This exercise is too profound. Many of the concepts are difficult to understand. Even if you understand it, there are still many confusions when practicing it. I wanted to ask Zhang Zhaoyang for help, but he himself was confused. I wonder when you, the founder, will be free to explain it to everyone?"

"Where do I have the time?"

Kong Ji shook his head helplessly.

There is no problem in letting him give guidance. With his perfect level of skills, he can easily answer and solve any doubts about the Zhoutian Chunyang Gong.

However, the alchemy plan has just begun, and he really doesn't have time, and he won't be free in the short term.

Seeing Dong Dingguo's disappointed face, Kong Ji thought for a moment and suggested, "How about this, Captain? Ask everyone to write down any questions they have during the training process on a piece of paper and hand it to me. I will take the time to answer them one by one, so it won't be a waste of time."

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Dong Dingguo agreed.

He knew that Kong Ji was not making excuses but was really busy with work, which was understandable.

Just as the two were talking, the sound of drilling in the distance finally stopped.

Then someone shouted, "Finally dug it out!"

Kong Ji looked back quickly and saw a piece of yellow crystal the size of a man's arms and weighing hundreds of kilograms being lifted out of the pit.
