I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 426 Nuwa Project
Ling Ya Cottage.

Yang Fan took a step forward, directly crossing a distance of thousands of kilometers and appearing in a quiet room in Ling Ya Cottage.

Today it is today.

This two-story villa where he lived for several months was not only very famous in Tolan City, but also known to many people around the world.

Outside the garden where the villa is located, people often stop to take photos and check in with the garden as the background.

Because since Yang Fan lived here for a while, this frozen little garden has gradually "come back to life".

In an environment where the temperature is minus 40 degrees Celsius during the day and minus 60 or 70 degrees Celsius at night, this is indeed a bit magical.

The ice on the surface of the plant slowly broke and fell off, then the bark gradually changed, then new buds sprouted from the branches, and finally leaves grew.

The Kyushu Legion's psychics once inspected the gardens and found no signs of supernatural forces maintaining the vitality of the trees.

All the plants in the garden mutated together as if they had "made an appointment".

Whether it is the trunk or the leaves, a peculiar antifreeze wax is secreted on the surface, which prevents water vapor from adhering and naturally prevents ice from condensing.

In addition to antifreeze wax, there are many surprising things about the plants here.

Even the Institute of Supernatural Powers has sent people here several times to study the plants here and take a small amount of samples away.

It is precisely because of this that so many people come here to take photos and check in, and then post them on WeChat Moments or social platforms.

The photographers often add some funny words like "I came here specially today to admire the legend of Daxia" or "Although the trees in the garden are not tall, my neck is sore from looking up at them."

of course.

The security personnel at Ling Ya Cottage usually do not interfere with such behavior.

However, if tourists stay too long, security personnel will come forward and politely remind them to leave as soon as possible.

After all, this is the residence of the great ruler. If everyone stays here for a long time, it will inevitably affect the Ling Ya Cottage.

at this time.

Yang Fan stayed in the quiet room and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.

The glass windows are one-way perspective glass, you can see outside from inside the house, but vice versa you can only see the mirror surface.

His eyes passed through the lush green garden and "saw" four tourists wrapped tightly.

Judging from their attire, each of them was carrying a travel bag and seemed to be tourists from other places.

These people posed quietly and took photos of each other. After a few minutes, they left quietly.

One of them walked for dozens of meters and reached the corner of the intersection. He suddenly turned around and bowed in the direction of the cottage.

Seeing this, the other three followed suit and bowed three times each before turning around and leaving.

Yang Fan couldn't help but shook his head: "Three times gives people a weird feeling."

at this time.

"Crack!"

The door opened lightly and then was pushed open.

Su Yuxuan, the female secretary sent by Lingya Office, pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Ling Ya!" She smiled and shouted, "You are back."

Yang Fan turned his head and glanced at her, then told her the results of his investigation: "The number of mutant creatures in the ocean is increasing rapidly."

He paused for a moment and gave his own judgment: "In three to four months at the fastest, or half a year at the slowest, there will definitely be a large number of attacks caused by mutated marine life."

Su Yuxuan's face changed when she heard this.

In recent months, whenever the media mentioned information about marine life, it was basically the topic of "the sixth mass extinction on the Blue Planet."

No one expected that the mass extinction would lead to a "mutated marine life attack."

Daxia has a territory of more than 1280 million square kilometers, with a mainland coastline of more than 2 kilometers and an island coastline of 1.8 kilometers.

The two together total 3.8 kilometers, many of which are densely populated areas, especially the eastern coastal areas.

For Daxia, this is definitely not a trivial matter.

Su Yuxuan asked nervously, "Do we need to relocate people from coastal areas?"

Yang Fan shook his head and said, “This matter is not as terrible as you think. The current mutated marine life is not too powerful.

"Although they will become stronger over time, Daxia's strength is also growing steadily. We are fully capable of dealing with the upcoming ocean crisis."

He then ordered: "Report this to the Supreme Council and let the Kyushu Legion discuss the most cost-effective solution on how to deal with it."

The so-called "most cost-effective" is, to put it bluntly, to find a balance between "national investment of resources" and "civilian casualties."

It's simply unrealistic to have no deaths at all.

Even Daxia cannot invest unlimited resources.

Su Yuxuan immediately responded: "Understood!"

Yang Fan glanced at the female secretary again and asked, "By the way, how do you feel today?"

Compared with the previous period, Su Yuxuan's appearance has changed significantly.

This girl is a soldier. She is of top-notch appearance. Three generations of her family have been in the army and one of her ancestors was a general. There is no doubt about her reliability.

Without the above conditions, she would not be able to stand out from the competition and become Mr. Ling Ya's secretary.

She used to have black hair, and her hair quality was enviable.

Now her hair had a faint sense of transparency, her face became paler, and even her pupils were faintly white, which looked a bit weird.

Su Yuxuan was a little nervous: "I woke up from a cold last night, and I felt a little better after getting up and exercising for a while. I still felt a little tired during the day."

Yang Fan looked at her carefully for a few times and said softly: "This is just a slight mismatch between the soul and the body, it's nothing serious."

Su Yuxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact.

Just as Gabamuda heard, Yang Fan is currently conducting a very amazing research - how to enable ordinary people to awaken superpowers.

The reason why Yang Fan did this was because the supernatural powers absorbed by the treasure Soul-stealing Cicada were too many and had recently exceeded the 8000 mark.

It is obviously impossible for him to activate so many superpowers, otherwise his soul will definitely collapse.

He naturally thought of one thing - could he activate these abilities for others?

But there is a big problem here.

That is - soul compatibility.

To a certain extent, the essence of the treasure is the power of law.

Any creature that obtains the treasure will become one with its soul.

When the Soul-stealing Cicada absorbs the supernatural power, it will automatically transform it into a "supernatural power seed" suitable for Yang Fan's soul.

When he activated his own special ability, it was like pouring it from his left hand to his right hand.

However, when implanting the seeds of superpowers into others, there is the problem of soul incompatibility.

That's why Yang Fan started this experiment.

There are currently three subjects in this trial, all of whom volunteered to participate.

Su Yuxuan is one of them.

Yang Fan once told her that there was a certain probability of death among the subjects, but she still resolutely joined the experiment.

Based on Su Yuxuan's soul characteristics, he selected a supernatural power called "Ice Condensation" and planned to implant it into her.

He adopted a step-by-step strategy, dividing the seed of superpower into ten "superpower embryos" and implanting one-tenth of them at regular intervals.

The advantage of doing this is that it is safer and the test can be stopped directly if a problem occurs.

But the downside is that the seeds of superpowers are not implanted as a whole, so the power and potential of the superpowers will be greatly reduced.

At present, Su Yuxuan has implanted the second superpower embryo, and obvious abnormalities have appeared in her body. She has also mastered some superpower characteristics.

Yang Fan added: "Let me see how well you have mastered the characteristics of your supernatural powers."

Su Yuxuan immediately brought over a glass of water, held the glass in her right hand, and stared at it without blinking.

Ten seconds later.

A wisp of white steam emerged above the water cup.

This is not water vapor, but water vapor that liquefies when it encounters low temperature.

Thirty seconds later, a thin layer of ice appeared on the surface of the water cup.

Two minutes later.

The whole glass of water turned into a lump of ice.

Su Yuxuan was a little tired, but she still showed a nice smile: "Compared to three days ago, the time was five seconds faster."

Although this level of supernatural power is not worth mentioning, there are so many people on the Internet who are stronger than her that it is impossible to count them.

But to those in the know, this is a very shocking thing.

Yang Fan did not name the experiment, but someone gave it a name - Nuwa Project.

Anyone from Daxia knows how important this name is.

In mythology, Nuwa created humans out of clay and gave life to inanimate objects.

This experiment gives ordinary people superpowers, and in the eyes of many people, the significance of the two can be compared.

Yang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Keep practicing. Once the time is shortened to one minute, we should be able to proceed to the third stage of the experiment."

Su Yuxuan responded excitedly: "Understood!"

Yang Fan added: "Your temperament is more suitable for the Haoran Dao, one of the six paths of Canglan. You should practice more when you have time. If you get started early, the next stage of the experiment can be advanced a lot."

Su Yuxuan nodded heavily: "Okay."

She mentioned another piece of news: "By the way, the Asian-Australian Federation announced something not long ago. Due to the impact of the frost disaster, the country decided to increase the price of iron ore by 80%."

In the year before the Age of Natural Disasters, Daxia imported more than 16 billion tons of iron ore throughout the year, accounting for more than % of the global iron ore trade with the strength of a single country. The name "Industrial Cthulhu" is well-deserved.

In the first year after the natural disaster era, drastic adjustments took place in Daxia, and the import volume plummeted to 8 million tons, a reduction of half.

As Daxia's economy recovers at an extremely fast pace, construction is now going on madly across the country. Last year, the output skyrocketed to 22 billion tons, exceeding the level before the natural disaster era.

by the way.

Since Daxia's industrial products are sold all over the world and its trade surplus is so large, Daxia is also willing to purchase large quantities of minerals and raw materials from other countries.

Otherwise, if we only export goods but do not import them, such trade is meaningless and no different from doing charity.

Su Yuxuan couldn't help but say, "The Asian and Australian people are really a bunch of mean people. It's obvious that they want to shift the losses caused by the frost disaster onto us."

It was just a small matter.

But anyone who has a slight understanding of current affairs knows that the Gamenians are behind the Asian-Australian Federation.

An 80% surge in iron ore prices can only mean one thing – the Jamenians are up to something.

Yang Fan frowned: "Does the Gameni intend to fight against the civilized trade dominated by our Daxia by manipulating the prices of bulk resources?"

Su Yuxuan nodded and said, "It should be."

Each set of War Fist series exoskeleton requires at least several hundred kilograms of steel. 500 million sets of exoskeletons and related accessories, plus the cost of building supporting factories, will require at least 300 million tons of steel.

The Commonwealth of Asia and Australia is the world's largest exporter of iron ore, with an iron ore grade of around 60%, which is a high-grade ore.

300 million tons of steel corresponds to 500 million tons of iron ore.

Although the amount is not large, the intention of the Gameni people is obvious - to suck blood from the Daxia people by raising the price of iron ore.

Su Yuxuan added: "Related departments have analyzed that the matter of the Asian-Oceanic Federation is just the beginning, and the Jamenians will definitely have a series of actions to take. I am afraid that the prices of bulk commodities will continue to rise.

“The domestic economy recovered too quickly, far beyond everyone’s expectations, so there was no adequate preparation for the supply of raw materials. The Jamenians must have seen this weakness.

"If the global economy is booming, then the increase in commodity prices is understandable. Now, except for a few countries, the economies of all countries are in tatters. The Jamani people want to snipe Daxia through this method."

Yang Fan asked: "How does the country plan to respond?"

Su Yuxuan replied: "No decision has been made yet, but many people suggest temporarily reducing some of the demand and focusing on developing some mineral resources. Once the supply is sufficient, the problem will naturally be solved."

In the past two years, Daxia has used funds from its trade surplus to acquire large quantities of minerals from all over the world.

However, due to time constraints, these minerals remain in place and no development has yet begun.

Su Yuxuan continued, “Some people also suggested that although the amount of Gameni’s imports from Daxia has dropped by more than half compared to the natural disaster era, it is still more than 100 billion per year.

"We can also find some reasons to impose a little more tax on these goods and fight back against the Gamenians."

She then expressed her own opinion: "After all, Jamenia is a big country with a population of 8 million. They have been rapidly rebuilding their industrial system under the pressure of natural disasters. Raising taxes will have a certain effect, but it will not make Jamenians really feel the pain."

Yang Fan thought about it and suddenly asked a question: "How big is the current iron ore gap?"

Su Yuxuan answered without hesitation: "Currently, the domestic iron ore reserves are only 12 billion tons. Considering that it will take almost two years to build an iron mine from scratch and put it into production, the gap is estimated to be between 30 billion tons and 40 billion tons."

Yang Fan changed the topic again: "If the grade of iron ore is only 25% to 30%, is it worth smelting?"

Su Yuxuan was a little confused after hearing this, and didn't quite understand what Mr. Ling Ya was up to.

But she immediately replied: “Modern mineral processing technology can use crushing, grinding, magnetic separation and other technologies to increase the grade to 60% or even higher.

"Although the mining and beneficiation costs of low-grade iron ore are relatively high, it is still worth mining as long as the price is reasonable."

The female secretary had obviously done a lot of homework in advance so that she could answer the questions fluently.

Yang Fan nodded gently: "I understand."

He then smiled and said, "Leave the iron ore problem to me."

Su Yuxuan was even more confused.

Yang Fan reported a figure: "200 billion tons of 30% grade iron ore is equivalent to 100 billion tons of 60% grade iron ore. It should be enough for Daxia to use for several years."

Su Yuxuan was almost stunned by what she heard.

Can you get 200 billion tons of iron ore?
Yang Fan said softly: "Since Ya'ao is so ignorant, we should take action against Ya'ao after this matter is over."

He said in a resolute tone: "There is no time to lose. I will get the iron ore here while the window period is still there. Otherwise, I will have to wait for more than half a month."

Before the word "Duoyue" came out, large ripples appeared and his figure quickly became blurred.

Su Yuxuan stood there, staring blankly at Yang Fan disappearing.

What does “window period” mean?
Boss, are you going to get 200 billion tons of iron ore now?

Two seconds passed.

Su Yuxuan reacted suddenly, took out her cell phone as quickly as possible, and prepared to report to her superiors.

As secretary, Mr. Ling Ya can get 200 billion tons of iron ore, and this matter must be reported to the superiors immediately.

soon.

This explosive and somewhat frightening news spread like a storm among the upper echelons of Daxia.

Half an hour passed.

Two divisions of the Daxia army entered Shapudian from the border overnight and headed towards a place called "Lingquan Town".

Now with the economic integration of "Daxia-Shapudian", the Daxia army only needs very simple procedures to enter Shapudian.

In addition, there is a trend of "geographical name change" in Shapudian.

All the cities, towns and villages in Shapudian, as well as many mountains, rivers, were renamed Daxia.

For example, Lingquan Town’s former name was “Ge Lilao”, but now it has become Lingquan Town on the map.

Most Shapdians had no resistance to this, because everyone knew that this day would come sooner or later.

*
Oriental City.

Not long ago, twenty-one warriors from the Iron Fist Civilization learned a bombshell news from the people of Daxia - Mr. Ling Ya will forcibly tear apart the space and transport a huge amount of supplies from the Death Black Sand Sea to Canglan Star.

The Iron Fist group immediately requested to go to the scene to watch this amazing feat.

Dongfang City quickly arranged several Blue Eagles, carrying the Iron Fist warriors to the direction of Lingquan Town.

Gabarabas wore a helmet and looked down at the vast land, his tone was full of disbelief: "Any matter that passes through the space crack will definitely cause disturbances in space.

"The more material that is transported, the more intense the disturbance will be. Transporting more than 100,000 tons of material in a short period of time will most likely directly overwhelm the space channel.

“If this happens, not only will the space channel collapse directly, but the materials inside will fall into the space turbulence.

"It is even possible that the space energy will riot and directly impact the space entrance on the Canglan Star side.

"At that time, all living things within a radius of dozens of kilometers around the entrance will be killed. Even the powerful knights may not be able to withstand it."

Gabarabas seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking: "Is the Blue Raven not going to die? How can he be so sure of doing this?"

Gabamda shook his head: "I don't know, we'll know when we get to the scene."
