One had to know that this wall wasn't made of earth, but of incomparably hard granite. In fact … this so-called abandoned armory was originally built in a valley. The so-called wall was the mountain of the valley.
Looking at it from afar, the hard granite had been smashed into a huge crater more than ten meters deep. The surrounding granite had all been smashed into pieces.
Just by relying on the rebound force of the iron rod, the explosive power of this strike was not inferior to a Martial Emperor's full strength attack! This was too terrifying.
But then again, without the strength of a Martial Emperor, who would be able to bend this black iron rod with their bare hands?
Wait …
While shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Yan Guilai suddenly thought of a possibility.
Indeed, without reaching the Martial Emperor level, it was impossible for a human to possess such terrifying strength. And when one reached the Martial Emperor level, if one used an Emperor Weapon, the explosive power would only be greater.
Therefore, to a human, this iron rod was definitely trash. It was completely useless.
For example, if the General Director of the Weapon Refining Division in front of him was given an Emperor Weapon that was suitable for him, then with a full strength attack, he wouldn't be able to create a crater more than ten meters deep. Instead, he would be able to create a crater more than a hundred meters in diameter.
Looking at the piles of abandoned equipment, Yan Guilai said, "If all of these abandoned equipment were smelted and then continuously refined, after nine rounds of refinement, in theory, wouldn't it be possible to refine a ninth grade material?"
Nodding, the General Director of the Weapon Refining Division said, "In theory, that is indeed the case. But … if all of these abandoned equipment were really refined into a single piece, the boundless murderous aura it contains, I'm afraid …"
Nodding in understanding, Yan Guilai said, "I know what you're talking about. If the murderous aura accumulated over thousands of years was condensed into a single weapon, even the Martial Emperor would have to use all of his strength to resist it."
But if all of one's mental strength was used to resist the murderous aura in the weapon, then how would one fight against the enemy?
Taking a deep breath, Yan Guilai said, "Although I'm not sure, but no matter what, I want these abandoned equipment … name a price."
Let's name our price!
Looking at Yan Guilai in astonishment, the general director of the Refining Division forced a smile and said, "These are all rubbish. If you can take these rubbish away and properly dispose of them, we can even give you money!"
Hmm?
Looking doubtfully at the head of the Weapon Refining Division, Yan Gui Lai said, "It can't be. No matter what, these are refined from gold, silver, copper, and various other precious materials. Why …"
The head of the Refining Department waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about what these pieces of equipment are made of. In short … they are all useless trash. Trash …"
With a bitter smile, the director continued, "These weapons that are filled with killing intent are very difficult to smelt. If they are smelted for a long time, the spirit of the refiner will be permanently damaged. Many refiners have turned into idiots because of smelting these abandoned weapons."
Hearing the director's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but nod deeply.
It must be known that even with Yan Guilai's half-step Emperor realm, the murderous aura had invaded his body and even his bones from a hundred meters away, let alone those ordinary refiners.
Seeing that Yan Guilai seemed to have understood something, the director continued, "No one is willing to smelt these abandoned weapons, but they can't be casually thrown away. Otherwise … if an ordinary person gets their hands on them, the consequences will be too terrible."
Yan Guilai nodded in understanding. He had also heard that someone had accidentally obtained a murderous weapon. As a result, his mind was tainted by the murderous aura. In the end, he killed people on the street, leading to many tragedies in the world.
Therefore, since more than ten thousand years ago, abandoned equipment had been controlled. Even if they were useless, they couldn't be casually thrown away. Instead, they were piled together and left to rot.
"Forget it, I don't want money. I don't lack money anyway. But … I will gladly accept these abandoned weapons." Yan Guilai said calmly while secretly delighted.
Shaking his head, the director said firmly, "Sir Consul, as the head of the Ministry of Political Affairs, I think … you should set an example and abide by all the rules and regulations."
Pausing, the director continued seriously, "This order was set more than ten thousand years ago. After so many years, the bounty has increased, but no one has been able to handle it."
With a bitter smile, Yan Guilai said, "If the Ministry of Political Affairs had money, I wouldn't mind taking some money. But the problem is … the Ministry of Political Affairs really doesn't have money. Even if I wanted it, I couldn't give it."
Shaking his head with a smile, the director said, "Don't worry if you don't have money. The Ministry of Political Affairs can issue bonds and temporarily owe you. They will also pay you interest according to the loan method. That will be enough."
This …
Frowning, Yan Guilai said, "Is this really appropriate?"
Nodding firmly, the director said, "Of course it's appropriate. With you taking the lead and setting an example, other people will see that there are benefits to be gained and will join in. Otherwise … if you don't take the lead, how would other people dare to do so?"
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Yan Guilai said, "Other people buy horse bones with a thousand gold coins. Why is it that when it comes to me, it becomes a thousand gold coins buying my horse bones? This …"
Laughing bitterly, Yan Guilai had to agree with the director's words. Only when Yan Guilai took the lead would other people be able to join in without worry.
Nodding firmly, Yan Guilai said, "Okay, in terms of money, I don't want it … You can just exchange the bounty that should be given to me for Black Iron."
Nodding with a smile, the director said, "Coincidentally, next to the abandoned equipment warehouse, there is a Black Iron warehouse. Although the total value might be a little higher than the bounty you deserve, but … the quantity is just right for the refining standard of mixed iron."
Nodding in understanding, Yan Guilai knew that the reason why there was a Black Iron warehouse here, and the quantity was just right for the formula of mixed iron, was very obvious … This was intentional.
Once the true use of mixed iron was discovered, they could directly obtain the materials nearby and directly start the production process.
However, after more than ten thousand years of research, although the formula of mixed iron became more and more advanced and the properties of mixed iron became more and more outstanding, they still couldn't find the true use of mixed iron.
While thinking, Yan Guilai said, "How much money do you need? Give me a number. When the time comes, I will directly transfer it to the Ministry of Political Affairs' account through Gui Lai Bank."
Nodding, the director said, "Actually, the price of Black Iron is already very low. After all … Black Iron can only be used to produce civilian equipment. Therefore … I can't lower the price anymore."
Waving his hand, Yan Guilai said, "Don't, don't, don't … I don't have any intention of asking you to lower the price. It should be as much as it should be. I don't lack money."
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, the director chuckled and said, "You don't lack money? Actually, that might not be the case … You should know that humans have hoarded Black Iron for more than ten thousand years. The total value of the Black Iron is equivalent to the wealth you have already paid. "
