After Chen Yang met with the people sent by Lu Lin, he put the raw ore on the plane, and then he didn't need to worry about anything else.
The person who assassinated him didn't find out who had assigned him the task, but they did learn that he wasn't a sniper. Furthermore, the experts Lu Lin sent to interrogate him discovered that they didn't know Chen Yang's true appearance.
Because Chen Yang's location trajectory was so strange, they had no way to track him. After finally waiting for Chen Yang's location to stabilize, they split up. One sniper was responsible for taking down the enemy, while the other was responsible for cleaning up the mess. However, the person cleaning up the mess was caught by Chen Yang.
The assassin was tight-lipped, and he didn't get any important information out of him, only some minor details. But that was enough for Chen Yang; as long as the other party didn't know his identity, that was fine.
The assassin originally had poison hidden in his teeth, ready to commit suicide at any time. However, he was caught off guard and knocked unconscious by Chen Yang's flying kick, and was captured alive.
Chen Yang didn't care about any of these things. Regardless of which forces sent them, once the raw ore was transported to Northern Europe and the cutting plan was finalized, if it could be determined that the cut ore would be larger than the Star of Africa, then Lu Lin would announce the news.
By then, many forces will back down, because if they steal it then, they can no longer make it public; it can only be kept as a collection, which will not be of much significance.
Meanwhile, Chen Yang and Li Su'er continued their African journey.
As they sped across the continent, they passed through some places with quite beautiful scenery, but unfortunately they didn't have time to stop. He planned to take Li Su'er to see them.
In the micro-world, after he forged that sword, he and Hong Gui took turns polishing it. During this time, he also forged a set of throwing knives for himself, a total of twenty-four knives, which he tied to his thigh, arm and waist respectively.
Yu Xuan had also finished making the sword hilt and scabbard, and even had the people in the camp help wrap some areas with cowhide and inlay jade in one or two places. It was very exquisite, and Chen Yang liked it very much at first sight.
The sword and throwing knife were sharpened together, and it took five rounds of sharpening to complete the process. Finally, Hong Gui helped to sharpen them.
They tested it out, and Chen Yang was able to cut through an iron bar as thick as a finger with a single stroke. Of course, Chen Yang's strength accounted for most of the credit, but it was enough to prove the sword's sharpness and toughness.
The ancients' claim that swords could cut through iron like mud was an exaggeration. At most, they could only cut through steel bars and wires. A sword that could cut through iron like Chen Yang's would already be considered a good sword.
Because he felt he could forge an even better sword in the future, Chen Yang didn't name this one. It wasn't really a peerless sword, and there was no need to give it a name.
The key point is that if Hong Gui continues to forge swords like this for a few more years, it's quite normal for him to create a sword even better than the one he has now, given his talent for blacksmithing. At that time, the status of Chen Yang's sword will be very awkward. So it's very wise of him not to name it now, so that he can get rid of the sword without any pressure when the time comes.
After forging the sword and throwing knives, Chen Yang began researching new skills.
He can already do double jumps and float on water for tens of meters. What if he added some tools?
He certainly wouldn't consider an umbrella; it's inconvenient, too susceptible to wind damage, and the materials are difficult to choose.
Those scenes in TV dramas where people jump off tall buildings with just an oil-paper umbrella are seriously joking. If someone actually did that, they'd almost certainly break a bone.
Chen Yang wasn't afraid of falling; even without preparation, he could easily fall from a height of four or five meters. But if he prepared himself to absorb the impact, twenty meters wouldn't be a problem. When Grandpa Yun was young, he could jump from a ten-meter-high building and emerge unharmed.
For ordinary people, four meters is the limit; those who have been trained can reach six or seven meters, while top martial artists like Master Yun can easily reach ten meters. Chen Yang is abnormal; a one-meter difference is significant for most, but he can reach around twenty meters, and he feels he can go even higher.
With the combined effects of his light-body-like aura and his ground-walking boots, plus the incredible endurance of his peak physique, he felt that with some practice, he could jump from the tenth floor.
However, he also had a shortcut using tools.
Of course, it's not a parachute. That's only for jumping from airplanes, not for him. He wants to be like those extreme challengers in wingsuit flying and make himself a detachable wingsuit.
He didn't have such high expectations, nor did he intend to jump off the cliff. He just wanted to have a better ability to hang in the air when he jumped.
The lightness of his body allows him to control the wind within a wide range around his body; if he were to use a wingsuit, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
However, the design requirements for wingsuits are very high, so Chen Yang asked Ye Yan to help contact a foreign company that specializes in making wingsuits, so that they could make a wingsuit that fits the body better, uses less fabric, and has material limitations that exist only within the micro-world.
Ye Yan had met a group of extreme challengers who did wingsuit flying when she traveled before, so she was able to contact them.
However, the other party refused to agree at first when they heard the request. This was too dangerous, many times more dangerous than normal wingsuit flying, and they would not joke with other people's lives.
Ye Yan explained for a while, and Chen Yang even made her double the price before the other party reluctantly agreed.
Because the wingsuit still needs time to be designed, and even after the design is completed, it will take time to manufacture, Chen Yang plans to go to the north first to see if he can reach the Arctic.
This North Pole is not the North Pole of that world, but refers to the northernmost point of the micro-world.
Because of the Arctic Ocean in the north, Chen Yang wasn't sure if he could reach it. Crossing the Arctic Ocean under the current conditions would be no less difficult than climbing the snow-capped mountains.
The southern part remains unexplored. Are there new climate anomalies further south in the rainforest, or is the rainforest the last climate zone in the south?
We'll only know the answers to these questions once Chen Yang goes there.
However, he believed that since the micro-world could issue this task, it should be something that Chen Yang could complete at this stage, so Chen Yang still had some confidence.
Moreover, the fact that this mission lasted so long and was so difficult made Chen Yang even more excited about the changes and rewards after the upgrade.
This trip north was the same; I had someone to accompany me for a while. Li Su'er was also in Zhengzhou.
Dong Yujue wanted to visit her master, while Li Su'er wanted to visit her grandmaster. She also wanted to gain experience in the snowy region and improve herself by following Dong Yujue, so as not to hold Chen Yang back.
Besides the two of them, Zhang Jian and Lin Ke also planned to take Sanpang north to sketch.
Sanpang has been in the micro-world for so long and has experienced quite a bit of life, but he just can't get thin, which is a kind of talent, I suppose. He has ridden almost everything that can be ridden in the micro-world, dogs, horses, elephants, bears, and leopards have all become his mounts. When the tiger grows up, it will probably suffer the humiliation of being ridden between its legs as well.
Once everything was ready, the group set off north.
The main plot will still take place in the micro-world, without wasting too much time on unnecessary details. While fight scenes can easily pad out the word count, they're not really my cup of tea.
