Chapter 379 The Innovation Price!



Xin Feiwen, a man known for his unyielding principles and resolute character, entered the conference room with a demeanor that exuded both confidence and authority. His presence immediately drew the attention of those gathered, including Zavier and his companions, who eagerly anticipated the unfolding discourse. "Ladies and gentlemen," Xin Feiwen began, his voice carrying a steady cadence that resonated throughout the room, "I assure you that the acquisition of our remarkable super metal poses no challenges."

The room was charged with a palpable sense of astonishment.

"What you're saying is that we actually have the opportunity to procure this extraordinary metal material?" Zavier's voice was tinged with a mix of enthusiasm and incredulity, his eyes fixed intently on Xin Feiwen.

"Indeed," Xin Feiwen affirmed with a nod, his gaze unwavering. "And as for the cost, it has been set at a reasonable price of 20 million US dollars per ton."

A wave of elation swept through Zavier and his fellow attendees, their reactions unified in an enthusiastic chorus: "This is fantastic news! However, could you please elaborate on the specifics of the pricing for a ton of your super metal?"

In response, Xin Feiwen extended two fingers, an air of unwavering confidence emanating from his posture. "Allow me to elucidate. The price point stands at 20 million US dollars per ton, a valuation that is both justifiable and reflective of the exceptional nature of the metal."

Zavier's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly as he absorbed this revelation.

"By the heavens, this certainly seems like a substantial sum," he thought to himself.

Even the renowned Black Iron Company had been hesitant to offer their finest metal materials at such an exalted rate. Yet, here stood Xin Feiwen, establishing a remarkable benchmark of 20 million US dollars per ton.

A subtle smile graced Xin Feiwen's lips, a silent assertion that spoke volumes. Their prospective clients were not just anyone; they were the military itself.

Amidst this conversation, the topic transitioned to other matters, with Zavier proposing a tour of the factory premises.n0velUsb.c0M

After a brief pause, Xin Feiwen conceded, though he imposed a condition: "While I welcome your exploration of the factory area, I must request that you refrain from entering the production workshops or taking any photographs."

Zavier agreed, and thus, guided by Xin Feiwen, the two groups left the reception area, embarking on a journey to acquaint themselves with the intricacies of the factory grounds.

In the course of this guided tour, their footsteps led them to the raw material yard—an expansive expanse adorned with heaps of gray-black metal. These were remnants, various in size, borne from the wreckage of a spaceship's catastrophic descent.

Zavier halted his advance, his gaze transfixed by the mounds of metallic fragments before him.

An epiphany washed over him—an understanding of the origin of Xinpeng Special Steel Smelting Plant's super metals. These fragments, borne of destruction, were transformed through intricate processes into their current form.

In an instant, he felt as if he had stumbled upon an undiscovered treasure trove, a revelation that sent jubilant ripples through his heart, tempered by a conscious effort to contain his excitement.

Guided by Xin Feiwen, their journey continued, yet the seed of their newfound revelation germinated within Zavier's mind, urging him to share this remarkable insight with Sherman at the earliest opportunity.

As they concluded their factory tour, an undeniable urgency coursed through them, prompting their swift departure to the airport and their eagerness to return to country M.

...

High above the North Pacific Ocean, the passage of several days witnessed a remarkable metamorphosis in Bawang's stature—an increase of nearly ten tons. Its daily growth now exceeded three to four tons, marking a significant acceleration from its prior progress.

Giant octopuses remained the cornerstone of its diet, thriving within the vast underwater trench that stretched across thousands of kilometers in length and spanned more than ten kilometers in width.

Beyond its staple sustenance of giant octopuses, Bawang embarked on daring dives to depths of tens or even hundreds of meters beneath the ocean's surface. There, it hunted a diverse array of marine life, including sizable sharks.

On this particular day, Bawang achieved a remarkable feat by capturing several great white sharks, basking in the sun's embrace before resuming its aquatic pursuits near the remnants of the spaceship—where its tireless excavation efforts persisted.

For hours on end, Bawang's colossal claws meticulously removed layers of soil shrouding the spaceship's head, unveiling the glass of its cockpit. This obscured perspective could potentially be illuminated by an external light source, revealing the interior's secrets.

The more worn and battered region near the spaceship's tail also piqued Overlord's interest, prompting it to resume its soil-shifting endeavors.

Its massive claws proved to be formidable tools, dislodging significant amounts of soil with each forceful movement. In this regard, Overlord's excavation prowess outmatched even the most robust industrial excavators—an unparalleled marvel of strength.

As clumps of earth were displaced, gray-black metallic fragments emerged, a testament to the enormity of the find. This section's apparent dilapidation belied the hidden treasures beneath, evoking a profound sense of awe in Overlord's heart.

"Master, observe closely," Liu Yong interjected, connecting with Bawang's perspective. The visual range of its "third-party vision" had expanded to a radius of 2,000 meters since surpassing the milestone of 1,000 tons.

With Liu Yong as intermediary, Overlord unearthed an array of metallic fragments beneath the soil's cloak, fueling an infectious excitement.

"So many metal pieces!" Liu Yong's exclamation resonated with enthusiasm, underscoring the magnitude of the discovery.

Indeed, the bounty before them eclipsed the earlier revelation, a multiplication of the metal fragments amassed during previous excavations. This revelation kindled a spark of elation in Liu Yong's heart, surpassing even his initial expectations.

"Shall I proceed to retrieve these fragments and transfer them to the adjacent open space?" Liu Yong inquired, cognizant that the "Blue Whale" had yet to return to Huahai City.

Deliberating on the matter, Liu Yong offered, "We can excavate and transport these fragments to the nearby area for the time being. There's no urgency to convey them to the shallow sea, which lies over 500 kilometers away."

Overlord nodded, acknowledging the plan. Thus, it set to work, revealing the hidden metallic fragments beneath the layers of soil, which were subsequently transported to the neighboring expanse.

Meanwhile, Zavier and his entourage returned to country M, wasting no time in heading to Black Iron Company. Their foremost task was to confer with Sherman, sharing the wealth of discoveries made at Xinpeng Special Steel Smelting Plant and imparting the details of their illuminating visit....
