Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

After Zheng Youniu and his team moved all the exploration data and core samples out of the archives and put them away properly, she accurately located the horizontal branch according to the spatial markers.

This branch vein has a gentle slope, and cutting it off will not damage the supporting structure of the main vein.

In an instant, the branch deep underground disappeared into thin air, and minerals weighing at least several thousand tons were "extracted" from the rock strata.

At the same instant, the rock strata above emitted a deep and terrifying rumble, and the entire earth seemed to have a bone ripped out from below, causing it to suddenly sink.

Su Wanqing dared not delay, and hurriedly chanted in her heart, "Tenfold return!"

The vanished branch instantly multiplied tenfold, and the next second, she restored the original branch intact.

She didn't want to pay it back, but she had no choice. If she didn't, the cliff below would collapse, and who knew what the consequences would be? Besides, it was the country's property, and it wouldn't be right for her to keep it. Anyway, she could get nine times the amount for free, which was a huge profit.

The hollowed-out rock layers were filled back in, and the earth rumbled again, the entire mountain shaking violently as if it had let out a burp.

Su Wanqing hadn't expected that even after returning it, such a commotion would still occur on the ground.

"Quick, get out of here! There might be a second collapse! Forget about your things, get out of here! Lao Wei, protect Comrade Su Wanqing and get out of here first!" Lei Dabiao tightened the box containing the rock core samples in front of his chest and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice cracking.

Wei Guoliang cursed under his breath, inwardly lamenting his misfortune—why did this benefactor have to wander around these ruins? Now look what's happened, if something really happens, he wouldn't be able to compensate even if he died a hundred times over.

While urging everyone to retreat, he stood firmly in front of Su Wanqing with his body, determined that if anything unexpected happened, he would be the first to rush forward as a human cushion.

Just then, Zhou Yanshen swept Su Wanqing into his arms, one hand holding the back of her head, his broad chest and arms almost enveloping her entirely, leaving only her eyes visible.

He turned and ran, so fast that he left only a blur, saying, "I'll take my lover and get out of here first. You don't need to worry about us."

The words had barely left his mouth when he darted away and disappeared from sight.

Su Wanqing felt as if she had been jolted by a raging beast and instantly swallowed up; the man's chest was so hard it hurt her face...

Only then did she realize that Zhou Yanshen had been holding back his strength and speed throughout the previous encounter.

Otherwise, what would happen if such a strong force crashed into us?

Plus, that speed...

You simply couldn't handle it, could you?

Su Wanqing instinctively grabbed Zhou Yanshen's clothes, like a leaf under a flood, about to be submerged.

The people behind stared in disbelief at the scene, momentarily stunned.

But at this moment, no one cared about being shocked. Everyone grabbed boxes and other things and ran away.

Although Old Zheng is almost seventy years old, he has been doing heavy physical labor in the mine for many years and is very nimble. In addition, he had just eaten a full meal and his legs were swinging very fast, not falling behind the young people at all.

Zhou Yanshen moved extremely fast, and in less than two minutes he escorted Su Wanqing to a safe area several hundred meters away from the mine tunnel.

Without batting an eye, he gently set her down and hurriedly said, "Wanqing, wait here. I'll go back and meet them."

After saying that, he turned around and rushed back like a gust of wind.

Before long, he was seen carrying a metal box containing documents in one hand and helping Zheng Youniu carry half a rock core with the other, bringing out all the people who had fallen behind.

He didn't put his things down until everyone was safely evacuated outside the collapse area. He didn't even pant for breath, his physical strength was frightening.

"Too, too dangerous..." Lei Dabiao bent over, panting heavily, wiping the cold sweat from his face.

"Yes, thankfully we listened to Comrade Su Wanqing and managed to retrieve the data and rock cores in time! If we had been any later, everything buried there would have been lost. If this data were destroyed, the location of the mineral vein would have had to be re-explored, and the losses would have been enormous!"

Zhao Mingyi leaned against a rock, his face still pale, but his eyes were full of lingering fear.

"That's right, Comrade Su has done a great service again. If this archive room had really been buried by the second landslide, it would have taken us at least two or three more years to locate that mineral vein. The country is waiting for those materials to build airplanes!"

Su Wanqing stood aside, listening to everyone praising her, but her heart was pounding with nervousness.

No one knew that the earth-shaking tremor just now was caused by her secretly taking advantage of the underground mineral vein.

But then she thought—who cares, as long as the result is good. The data was obtained, the mineral vein was added to her space, and it also made everyone believe Gu Zhixing's warning. Anyway, this was a win-win situation.

Su Wanqing was immediately overjoyed.

I hadn't had a chance to examine how much raw titanium ore I had collected after taking the screenshots, but now I finally have some free time.

She slivered a wisp of her consciousness and swept it across the space, where she saw a quiet storage compartment containing a full 72,000 tons of raw ilmenite, of astonishingly high quality, along with a significant amount of scandium and yttrium.

Originally, it should have been more than 8,000 tons. After returning ten times the amount, she kept 72,000 tons in the space, and the rest was returned to the underground as is.

We've struck it rich! This much ilmenite is a key raw material for making fighter jet skins, spacecraft, and submarine pressure hulls—something the country desperately needs!

Wei Guoliang, also panting, followed closely behind. He carefully examined Su Wanqing from head to toe, making sure she wasn't missing a single hair, before patting his chest with a look of lingering fear.

"Comrade Su Wanqing, let's hurry back. This place is too dangerous; we can't stay any longer." If anything were to happen to Su Wanqing, even just a scratch, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his superiors.

"Okay, let's go back now." Su Wanqing readily agreed.

Since she already had the goods, she was overjoyed and simply threw all 70,000 tons of titanium iron ore from her spatial storage into the Craftsman's Cube.

"Free upgrade!"

Upgrade successful! 72,000 tons of high-purity titanium alloy material (aerospace grade) obtained, including a quantity of separated high-purity scandium, yttrium, and other rare associated metals.

Su Wanqing nodded in satisfaction.

This is a high-purity titanium alloy that initially requires more than a dozen processes, including mining, crushing, beneficiation, smelting, and purification, but now it can be obtained in one step, with purity and quality far exceeding the highest standards in the world.

This thing is in high demand all over the world, especially in the aerospace and military industries. Countries are lining up with money but still can't buy it.

"This stuff is great, and it saves so much trouble. This kind of thing would probably be a hot commodity all over the world. If you go abroad, you could bring some of this as bait; you could openly act like you own the place." But wouldn't you get riddled with bullets behind the scenes?
