After transmigrating into a beast world, Rong Mingshi discovered that the people of this world experienced widespread mania. For example, when their emotions were abnormally agitated, they would be...
The raw stone field is full of rough stones, which are dug out from the veins by intelligent mining machines and wait for energy stone screening machines and cutting machines to process in an open-air environment. There are stones of various shapes and sizes, some are as high as more than ten meters, and some are very small, only the size of a fist, and are scattered in a messy and disorderly manner.
Generally speaking, most energy stones are cut into a size that can be carried around, but some orcs will place taller energy stone statues in their homes for extra security.
The larger the energy stone, the more other substances it contains. Therefore, the only things that can be made into tall statues are some medium- and low-level stones.
In addition, Aojia’s Resource Group also exports some uncut raw stones to the gambling stone market.
Although current machines and equipment can scan the presence of energy stones in raw stones, they cannot accurately determine the grade of the energy stones inside.
There are not many people in the empty raw stone field, and many processes here are handled by intelligent robots.
Abel stopped all the machines here, drove over a hovercraft, and led their commander through a pile of rocks on the ground.
The doctor was the busiest one. He had to scan all the raw stones that passed by while Abel was driving the hovercraft, so he kept his eyes fixed on the micro scanner.
Time passed little by little. Aojia held the little leopard's thick furry claws and pressed them again and again. The barbs inside appeared and retracted again and again.
Now that he had his favorite stone, Rong Xiaobaozi was in a good mood and didn't think there was anything wrong with this man playing with his paws like this.
Abel, who was driving the car next to him, almost hit a huge rough stone next to him. Fortunately, this hover car has an intelligent correction system, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself in front of his superior.
...The commander is teasing the little leopard again!
At this moment, the doctor, who had scanned countless rough stones with a scanner and was almost beginning to doubt his life, suddenly shouted, "Abel, stop the car!"
Abel shuddered all over and pressed the stop button with a snap. His reaction was so excited that he made a hole in the parking button of the hover car. Abel immediately covered it with his hand to hide his embarrassment and said, "Found it?"
The doctor nodded, carefully looking at the rough stone that responded on the micro-scanner, and pointed it out to their leader and Little Leopard, "That's it."
Rong Xiaobaozi stood up from Aojia's arms and looked through the window.
Well... standard granite, grayish-white in color, the kind that can be used to carve stone lions, the kind that are usually placed at the entrance of some hotels and clubs, but this stone seems to have been weathered for a long time, with signs of weathering and erosion on it.
Abel was very upset and turned to look at the doctor. "Are you sure it's this stone? Although this stone was also taken out from the central mining area of the energy stone vein, after testing, it has no value. It either does not contain energy stones, or the energy stones are so fragmented that they are almost impossible to separate. It has been thrown here for a long time."
Aojia narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked the fur on the back of the standing little leopard, while looking at the stones outside.
The doctor coughed lightly. He was a little unsure. He handed the micro scanner to Aojia and said, "Sir, there is a little reaction in this stone."
The reaction was so slight that he would have almost missed it if he hadn't been staring at it.
Aojia took the scanner and took a look. The tiny numerical value was jumping quietly, which made Aojia unconsciously twitch the corners of his mouth.
As long as there is a reaction, it is good. At least it proves that there is still an energy stone suitable for the little leopard. Even if the energy stone in the huge stone in front of it is very small, as long as there is a sample, we can pay special attention to it in future mineral mining. There will always be better ones.
By this time, Abel had already parked the hovercraft and called the master who was cutting the raw stones over.
Rong the little leopard jumped down from Aojia's arms and circled around the huge white stone. Although the doctor said there was a reaction here, he himself didn't feel anything.
When the cutting machine was in place, Aojia waved to the little leopard, who came briskly and squatted beside Aojia.
Aojia bent down slightly and picked up the little leopard with one hand.
The old master who was transferred here by Ebel saw that their leader Ebel wanted to cut the waste rock that had been thrown here for a long time, so he didn't say much and started the equipment directly.
However, there was some trouble when the old master took action, and he looked at General Ebel with some embarrassment.
Generally speaking, the cutting of raw energy stones is accompanied by a preliminary scan, and the cutting is done at specific points based on the data, so as to avoid splitting the energy stones inside.
But the rock in front of me is just a piece of waste rock, it doesn't react at all, how can I cut it?
Abel rubbed his nose and said, "Master, just rub it bit by bit."
It took a lot of effort to find a suitable one, but it might be very small, and it would be bad if it broke in half.
The old master nodded, started the grinding program on the equipment, and began to grind the boulder. He saw the several-meter-high stone gradually turned into dust, which was solidified and piled aside by the equipment configured in the grinder. The unpolished area soon became only one meter square in size, and still no energy stone appeared.
The doctor sighed secretly, thinking that using energy stones to soothe the little leopard's mania would not work, so it would be better to study what was wrong with the little leopard's body.
Abel had called in another hovercraft as backup.
In his opinion, the commander liked this little leopard so much, if this didn't work, they might really have to go to the mine.
At this moment, Aojia suddenly reached out and pressed the equipment controller under the master's hand, pausing the grinder.
Rong Xiaobaozi, who was a little wilted by the sound of the grinder, suddenly raised his head from his arm and looked at him with clear eyes.
Found it?
Aojia nodded, then held the little leopard's front paws firmly with both hands and sent him to the grinder.
Then Rong Xiaobaozi saw a small piece of transparent stone stuck in the granite. It looked like a cold spring coming out of the stone, clear and beautiful, and it felt like it would flow out with a slight poke.
The doctor and Abel were startled and looked under the grinder.
The transparent stone, like a cold spring, looked only the size of a thumb and was something they had never seen before.
Currently, the energy stones used by orcs are colored and opaque.
Aojia signaled the master to continue.
The master craftsman carefully operated the grinder to clear away all the other debris around the transparent stone, and peeled out the transparent energy stone intact.
Aojia picked up the thumb-sized transparent energy stone. This stone was different from the energy stones he usually used. It felt cool to the touch but not cold. Although it was small, it was very pure without any impurities.
As Abel watched, he suddenly turned on his optical computer and projected a theoretical report in front of several people, saying, "Sir, this stone is a top-level energy stone that exists in theory."
Abel stared at the stone excitedly. He really didn't expect that there was such a top-notch stone hidden in the waste rock that they had thrown here to be exposed to wind and rain for so long.
This little leopard who is always teased by their superior is indeed extraordinary... Did he suddenly discover something extraordinary?
Aojia nodded. He didn’t care whether it was top-tier or not. The key point was whether it was suitable for the little leopard.
Aojia looked at the doctor, who immediately brought the scanner over, and the minute data became the same as that of a normal orc.
"Sir, this should be it."
It wasn’t easy, but we finally found it and the doctor was very relieved.
However, after being excited, Abel on the side became a little entangled and said cautiously, "Sir, this stone may not be usable."
Aojia narrowed his eyes slightly.
Under pressure from their superiors, Abel pointed to the theoretical report on the transparent energy stone and said helplessly, "This kind of stone is the most difficult to perceive. No sculptor can activate the power of this energy stone."
Energy stones that cannot be carved into animal shapes are useless against orc mania.
The power of the transparent energy stone that exists in theory can only be activated if the engraver can activate more than 50% of the power of the high-level energy stone. As everyone knows, it is already very good for a master engraver to activate 20% of the high-level energy stone, and 50% is unimaginable for the time being.
Although Rong Xiaobaozi didn't quite understand everything about the energy stone, he understood what Abel meant. He patted Aojia's arm with his paw to comfort him.
It's okay, there is always hope.
Unexpectedly, Aojia didn't take it seriously. He looked down at the little leopard, rubbed the little leopard's head, put the stone into his pocket without any regrets, and then got on the hovercraft with the little leopard in his arms.
There is no master-level sculptor, but there is a grandmaster-level sculptor.
Aojia was not worried at all about the carving of this so-called top-level energy stone.
