After hearing this, Zhou Zhenbei's illusory figure turned to look at the inconspicuous black ore in the person in charge's hand:
"A small team is not enough to kill a high-level Awakened One! Far from enough!"
"Immediately analyze the ore composition, locate the relevant veins, and begin large-scale mining and application, installing more ore!"
His voice suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable authority:
"What I want is not 'stronger,' but 'strongest!' What I want is absolute power, the power to completely sweep away all obstacles, to surpass all awakened ones, and to establish a new era of alloy steel torrent!"
"Listen up!" Zhou Zhenbei's gaze finally landed on the person in charge, his voice icy:
"Zhou Chuan."
When Zhou Chuan, the person in charge, heard General Zhou Zhenbei call out his name, his body stiffened, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. He immediately straightened his body.
Zhou Zhenbei's eyes were sharp:
"I will dedicate all my resources to supporting you! I don't care what methods you use or how many resources you consume, you must accomplish these two things in the shortest possible time, at any cost!"
"First, the complete modification of the alloy limbs must begin immediately, without the slightest delay!"
"Secondly, the research on the energy storage and application of this ore should be listed as the highest priority! I want to see progress and results!"
Zhou Zhenbei's gaze returned to the piece of ore, and he said sternly:
"What I want is for every modified soldier to have a mobile energy fortress filled with these, understand?!"
"Understood, General!" Zhou Chuan responded loudly, his voice trembling slightly. "We will immediately launch a full-scale attack to find the mineral vein and will not let you down!"
"Good! The day this plan succeeds, your names will be etched on a new monument. But if it fails..."
Zhou Zhenbei paused, leaving his words unfinished, but the lingering chill made Zhou Chuan on the other side of the token feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave:
"Time is running out, get on it immediately! Be quick!"
"Yes!" Zhou Chuan hurriedly replied again.
Zhou Zhenbei's illusory figure nodded slightly, without saying another word, and then vanished like smoke blown away by the wind.
The token in Zhou Chuan's hand also lost its luster and became dull and unremarkable.
The suffocating pressure vanished abruptly.
Zhou Chuan remained standing upright, frozen in place, for several seconds before letting out a long sigh of relief as if he were completely exhausted.
"You heard everything?"
Zhou Chuan's voice was a little hoarse as he turned to look at all the other researchers and those in charge of the armed transformation who were holding their breath in suspense:
"The general's orders are absolute!"
He quickly began issuing instructions:
"Ore analysis team! I'm giving you one day. I need to find the coordinates of at least three potential ore veins in Zhongzhou!"
"Alloy Modification Team! Immediately summon Awakened Ones and initiate the comprehensive modification plan!"
Resources? Give me as many as you want!
Manpower? Transfer them all from other bases!
"Permissions? I'll grant you the highest level right now!"
"If anyone drops the ball..."
Zhou Chuan paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes just like Zhou Zhenbei's:
"There's no need to wait for the general to hold me accountable; I'll handle it personally, understand?!"
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
Zhou Chuan took one last look at the black ore in his hand, clenched it tightly in his palm, and shouted sharply:
"action!"
