44. Metal
There is a kitchenette in the dormitories, but students generally don't use it.
Su Liu prepared his own pots, stoves, bowls, and other dishes, and put on an apron to prepare a mung bean feast.
Mung bean cakes, mung bean pancakes, mung bean soup, mung bean milk tea, etc. The table is full of mung beans.
Yan Ziyan and her friends came back and had a big meal. They were all amazed at how much a small green bean could taste like.
Afterwards, Su Liu left the kitchen to the three of them to clean up, and took the mung bean cakes and mung bean milk tea to go to the Mechanical Engineering Department to find Fu Yan.
Fu Yanlai had already listed the required metal materials and sent a message to Su Liu to get them himself.
"I need to explain to you in person the properties of these metals and their approximate price ranges, so you don't make the wrong purchases and end up losing money."
Su Liu handed the food over and said, "Talk while you eat, Senior."
Fu Yanlai was thirsty, so he opened the lid and drank some mung bean milk tea.
He originally thought it was just an ordinary drink, but when he drank it he found that it had a very mellow and smooth taste. The rich aroma of milk combined with the fragrance of mung beans made it as smooth and delicate as silk, fragrant and refreshing.
"Where did you buy this?" He couldn't stop drinking and soon finished a glass.
"I made it myself," Su Liu said, looking at the metal list. "Is this ground-state crystal a metal?"
Fu Yanlai drank up the mung bean milk tea and licked his lips with satisfaction.
"If it weren't called crystal, I'd call it crystal. It's a programmable base metal with a flowing luster inside. It looks a lot like white crystal, so that's why it's called base crystal."
Su Liu didn't understand at all, "Then this stellar reverberation is also metal?"
"As the name suggests, it's high-energy matter scattered into the universe after a star's death. This high-density metal is obtained through quenching. All advanced weapons require stellar remnants as their energy core. Of course, if they can't afford it, other alternatives can be used."
In terms of effect, it is undoubtedly greatly reduced.
Su Liu looked at the price and his eyes went dark.
960,000 star coins per ounce. Taking into account losses, at least 3 ounces will be needed.
"Don't skimp on the energy core," Fu Yanlai designed the metal based on Su Liu's account balance. "The weapon skeleton can be replaced, but the core shouldn't be replaced easily. If possible, use high-grade core metal from the beginning."
Su Liu calmed down and looked at the "Super-space Condensation Fluid Alloy" on the list.
This is an essential material for all weapons and is used to store them in the arsenal.
The arsenal usually contains rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. After storing them, you don’t have to carry all kinds of weapons around.
Su Liu thought he could get the weapon after spending all his money, but he didn't expect that the metal part alone would cost seven or eight million star coins.
Coming out of the Mechanical Department, Su Liu’s vision went black and white.
She now has doubts about whether becoming a purifier is a good decision.
Fu Yanlai had just told her that if she was short of money, she should be more diligent and team up with senior students to collect animal materials. She could exchange the ones she didn't need for money.
As a purifier, as long as you are not lazy or unlucky, you usually won't be too short of money.
But there are always risks in going to a contaminated area. You might not be able to build your weapons well and you might die first.
Su Liu sighed and prayed that he would not become a frequent visitor to the loan sharking center.
During open classes, students from different classes sit together.
Simingye deliberately sat down next to Su Liu and asked, "How are your preparations for weapons and materials going?"
When this was mentioned, Su Liu became listless: "I bought some metal, and my wallet is empty. And I'm going to use wood for my skeleton, what about you?"
Si Mingye said, "I try to use animal teeth as much as possible. This Sunday I will go to the infected area with my seniors to brush. I hope I can find suitable animal teeth."
Su Liu asked, "How much did you spend?"
Si Mingye didn't say anything, just looked at the ceiling.
Su Liu saw tears flashing in his eyes.
After the open class ended, Su Liu received another picture sent by Fu Yanlai.
This is the folding fan pattern drawn by the computer. Fu Yan came to ask her if she was satisfied with the shape.
Su Liu didn't have much idea about the design, so he replied "OK".
Then she went to the field to take care of the beets, and Ying Tianqing sent a message: There is an interstellar express for you.
Express delivery?
She didn't shop online.
With doubts in his mind, Su Liu came to the office.
Several exquisitely wrapped packages were placed on the table, with pupil locks attached, requiring Su Liu's pupil pattern to unlock them.
Su Liu looked at the shipping location, which was the Imperial Star Military Headquarters.
Could it be sent by the association?
Su Liu didn't open the package in the office. After he finished his work, he took the package back to the dormitory and unsealed it.
This time, my eyes were almost blinded.
In the first box was a sapphire the size of a fist. Its clear and moist luster reflected in the room, as if the sea was flowing quietly.
Su Liu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
The cost of sapphire is very high, especially such a large piece, which cannot be measured by the price of star coins.
The second box contained white jade, which felt warm and smooth, very similar to the mutton-fat jade that Su Liu knew. It had an excellent texture, was extremely pure and white, like solidified fat.
Su Liu was silent for a long time before he continued to open the third and fourth boxes with trembling hands.
Each box contained a priceless gem, so precious it seemed as if it had been sent to the wrong person.
Su Liu was worried and contacted the Purifier Association.
She asked whether a package had been sent to her personally, and the association said they did not know.
A few minutes later, Shudelai replied personally.
"You're probably thinking about crafting a weapon, right? Pick a gem to make the bone body, and return the rest."
Su Liu asked cautiously, "Is there a discount?"
“No discount.”
Before Su Liu's heart sank, Shudelai said again, "It's free."
Su Liu was surprised, "How is it possible?"
No matter how rare Purifiers are, there are still many of them in the major military academies across the empire.
If everyone gave a precious gem, wouldn't the association lose everything?
Shudelai said vaguely, "Not many people are getting support right now. To avoid causing dissatisfaction, keep the news secret for now."
Su Liu was even more puzzled.
Since there is not much support, it is impossible for her, an F-level purifier, to get a turn, right?
But before she could ask further, Shudelai said impatiently, "Don't whine. I'm very busy and don't have time to chat with you. If you don't want it, just return it and we will support someone else instead."
Although I still have doubts, how can I really not want a gem that is delivered to my door?
Su Liu looked at seven or eight fist-sized gems, and his eyes finally fell on the emerald green jadeite.
This piece of jade has a very good texture, it is fine and gentle, bright and moist. Under the sunlight, it looks like a green lake in the forest, reminding Su Liu of someone's beautiful eyes.
"I'll take this one." She picked up the imperial green jadeite and held it in her arms, saying with a little joy.
Shudelai said, "Return the rest and don't keep it for yourself."
"I'm not that kind of person."
After ending the call, Shudelai sent a message.
She asked for jade.
On the top floor of the headquarters command building, the admiral slowly played with the light computer ring.
It's an apology, I hope she likes it.
