Edmund rushed into the mine. The soldiers guarding the mine thought something big had happened when they saw their senior officer like that, like a dangerous creature being unearthed. But on second thought, they realized that was not right. If something dangerous had been dug up, the alarm would have been sounded long ago, but there was no alarm at all.
But if that was not the reason, then what was it?
Countless questions ran through the minds of the soldiers, but since their senior officer had not given them any new orders, they did not take any unnecessary actions and continued to guard their posts.
Edmund felt that his heart had never pounded so fiercely before. His blood flow was out of control.
In the mine, after seeing the results of the equipment, Kevin Lin took a close-up shot of the equipment and decisively cut off the live broadcast.
Kevin Lin knew very well what discovering a grade A power ore on a planet near the bottom of the development sequence meant, but he did not intend to start a live broadcast until it was officially confirmed. The more it was like this, the calmer he had to be. Otherwise, a careless mistake could backfire.
Switching the camera to shooting mode, Kevin Lin could not help but carefully pick up the small piece of ore that Fang Zhao had just dug up. Then, choosing the angle he thought was the most perfect, he posed for a few selfies.
"Hey, Fang Zhao, there's something missing," Kevin Lin said. "You haven't marked this ore."
Only after letting Fang Zhao use a spray gun to mark the small piece of ore with a serial number did Kevin Lin pick up the ore in satisfaction and continue taking selfies, allowing the camera to capture the serial number on the ore.
"Where is it!" Edmund strode in, his eyes scanning the area like a radar before fixing on the small ore in Kevin Lin's hand.
"This is it?" Edmund took the ore from Kevin Lin's hands.
This piece of ore was really too small. Lying in Edmund's large palm, it seemed especially delicate. But what it represented was something that low-grade power ores could not compare to.
Edmund's palm was trembling slightly, as if afraid that his rough palm would chafe it. He carefully tilted his palm and let the small piece of ore roll in his palm, his fiery gaze fixed on the small piece in his palm.
Edmund glanced at the few old miners beside him. "Are you sure?"
One of the old miners understood and replied, "We all used our own equipment to test it. It shouldn't be a problem with the machine. We even recalibrated the equipment and used other ores as a reference. This result... should be correct."
There should be no mistake!
The words echoed in Edmund's head like thunder.
For the sake of caution, or perhaps because Edmund wanted to see the extraordinary strip with his own eyes, he had everyone take out the testing equipment and personally examine it.
Seeing with his own eyes the line that extended all the way to "A" on the display screen, Edmund's worried heart relaxed a little. He then picked up the communicator and contacted the base commander, Shanta. After briefly explaining the situation here, he issued an order to the soldiers guarding the mine. "From now on, raise the global alert! Increase the vigilance of all the sentries in the area. We will immediately send more people over to the mine! "
Baiji base.
Some conscripts who stayed in the base due to injuries or other reasons saw many soldiers who were supposed to be on rotation boarding the aircraft in full gear.
Not only that, but an aircraft and a transport plane also rose from the laboratory. Inside were the engineers and researchers of the base's laboratory.
The atmosphere in the base was a little strange, which made the conscripts who stayed in the base very curious.
"What happened?"
"Judging from the direction, it should be heading towards the mining area."
"Did something happen in the mining area?"
"Today is Fang Zhao's first official day of military service, right? I heard he was assigned to the mining area. "
"Then it is very likely that something happened in the mining area. Otherwise, the base would not have such a big commotion."
On the Internet.
Quite a number of people had seen with their own eyes Fang Zhao dig out that small rock and put it into the equipment for testing. They had seen with their own eyes the line on the display screen extend all the way to "A." And at this moment, the live broadcast signal had been cut off!
After that, the Internet exploded.
"The f * ck, A grade? Is that for real? "
"It should be real, right? They even dared to fake this? "
"Forget about the others, but for the power ore, they probably wouldn't dare fake it."
"It's hard to say. Who knows what the truth is. Nowadays, all these variety shows like to deliberately mystify things. To attract attention, they will do anything."
"But this is no ordinary variety show. Don't forget who came up with Project Starlight. Aren't they afraid of getting shot for making a joke about it?"
"Let's wait a little longer. Whether it is true or not, there will surely be follow-up reports."
At the same time, First Frontline's headquarters was already busy. This was no longer just a matter for the program team of Project Starlight. This was already a huge matter! However, they were anxious to contact Kevin Lin to clarify the truth, but the line was always busy.
"What lousy network! Planet Baiji's communications network needs to be upgraded! "
It was not just the media. Other parties were also getting into action, especially those mining companies. At this time, they were even more anxious than others to clarify the truth. If it was true, they had to seize the investment slots!
Planet Baiji.
Shanta had already rushed over to the mining area. On his way there, he had received three communications from headquarters. However, he had not figured out what exactly was going on, so he could not give a definite answer. Right now, he was also anxious to find out the truth. If those people dared to fake the A-grade power ore to attract viewers, he would rather not invest or donate. He would personally send this bunch of people to prison! After the base's prison had been built, there had not been many people living in it.
Kevin Lin was already standing outside the mining area, controlling the camera to capture the situation in the sky.
Armed flying transports and transport planes landed one after another. Instruments were carried out one after another. Those who did not know better would have thought that a war was about to break out.
The soldiers stationed at the mining area saluted when they saw Shanta and his party. "Commander!" Although their faces were solemn, deep down, they were extremely curious. These people stationed at the edge of the mining area still did not know what exactly was going on. They only knew that something big was definitely going on.
Shanta and a few other leaders of the base walked directly to the mining area where Fang Zhao was. At this moment, Edmund and Fang Zhao were already waiting at the entrance of the mining area.
Seeing Shanta walk over quickly, Edmund handed over the ore and the instruments to Shanta.
Shanta only took the small ore and then let the engineers bring over the instruments they had brought. The instruments brought out by the engineers from the laboratory were certainly more accurate than the instruments used by the conscripts in the mining area.
Seeing the data displayed by the instruments and the large "A," the corners of Shanta's mouth could not help but curve upwards. He wanted to laugh heartily, but he still managed to control his agitated emotions. It was not yet time to truly laugh heartily. He did not want to end up empty-handed.
Shanta's sharp gaze pointed straight at Fang Zhao. "You dug it?" Although he had not seen the situation during the live broadcast, he had watched the recording. There were too many questions about that segment.
"It was me. It's marked on it." Fang Zhao did not show any signs of nervousness because of Shanta's sharp gaze.
Shanta stared at Fang Zhao for two seconds before turning his head to ask an engineer, "Can it be detected?" What he wanted to know the most was how much grade A power ore was here!
However, the engineers were frowning.
"It is a new element. Your base's detection instruments have not been upgraded in a long time. They still have to be adjusted. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to accurately detect it. Furthermore, this type of ore should be even deeper underground. The difficulty of detecting it is very high. Just based on your base's current detectors, even circling the planet might not be able to detect it."
There was no way to accurately detect it, and the ore was located deep underground. It was no wonder they had not been able to discover it before. It was only now that they had finally dug out a piece.
"Your base's detectors are too outdated. Have they not been upgraded in a long time?" an engineer asked.
Shanta spread his hands helplessly. "No choice. We are poor. Upgrading also costs a lot of money. Everyone here knows planet Baiji's position on the development sequence. "
The engineers also knew about planet Baiji's previous situation, so they did not say much. Instead, they gathered together to discuss how to upgrade the detectors.
Thinking about the live broadcast of Fang Zhao digging out this ore …
Shanta looked at Fang Zhao. "How did you know that there was this type of ore there?"
Kevin Lin looked at Fang Zhao. He also wanted to know the answer. Fang Zhao's actions during the live broadcast had made it seem like he was very sure that there was something there. How could he be so sure?
Facing the gazes of many people sizing him up, Fang Zhao said, "I am a composer. I have a rather high ability to distinguish sounds. Many things have their own sounds. When I use tools to chisel at the stone walls, I can hear their sounds. Simply put, my hearing is pretty good. I heard that there was a special sound there, so I tried digging. "
He was not lying. Besides the energy field, there was indeed a difference in the sound. It was just that ordinary people could not tell. He could not say anything about the energy field, but he could divulge his hearing ability. Previously, he had not known that it was a grade A power ore, so he had not paid much attention. However, after listening carefully in the tunnel, he had been able to hear some special sounds.
Shanta felt like he had heard a joke. "You are saying that your hearing is better than the equipment?"
Mining is not done by looking but by listening?
Ha, who do you think you are? The mythical Diting from the Old Era?
Nonsense!!
This doesn't seem reliable. Is this kid bluffing?
But seeing Fang Zhao standing there calmly without the slightest trace of guilt, Shanta hesitated again.
Could it be that he could really hear it?
Shanta sized Fang Zhao up with a strange expression. "Since you can hear one, then can you listen again to see if there are any other places in the cave that have this grade A power ore? It is grade A, not the ones we dig up on a daily basis. "
The engineers who were discussing how to upgrade planet Baiji's old detectors fell silent and looked at Fang Zhao.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Fang Zhao nodded. "Sure."
