#1078 - Chapter 1078 Inexhaustible Rare Metals
“Sand... rich ore... radiation...”
Wu Wei's eyes lit up.
He finally understood why they thought the Star God's corpse was so important.
“You mean, this thing can directly change the physical properties of our world?”
“And it's sustainable?”
“Damn it, isn't this equivalent to a god whose divine power never runs dry!”
Wu Wei was so surprised because, in his impression,
only gods,
and only gods, can directly turn ordinary sand into precious minerals.
However,
this change comes with conditions.
Any god who wants to change the nature of sand and turn it into other kinds of ore needs to expend their divine power.
Especially for those precious and rare ores, even more divine power is required.
Such consumption is something even some of the more powerful gods dare not use lightly.
Only certain gods will use their divine power to create weapons and equipment with special properties on their divine children.
More importantly, the changes in properties that certain divine powers cause when applied to ordinary ores are completely different.
Some gods, after enchanting steel with divine power, will turn it into a particularly tough material.
While the divine power of some gods will give the steel extra elemental and attribute resistance.
For example,
the equipment worn by the divine children of the Wisdom Goddess, Liu Su, is the product of Liu Su's modification with her divine power.
Without exception, their equipment has some kind of automatic learning, or automatic memory, ability.
This automatic memory ability allows her divine children to always have the strongest adaptability when wearing equipment of different specifications!
But still, that's the point.
This metal is expensive!
And unsustainable!
Because even the smallest, most inconspicuous piece of metal requires the god's divine power to maintain.
No god can infinitely use their precious divine power on these material things in the real world.
It's not realistic!
But this Star God's corpse reverses this situation.
Because according to Shi Xin, this Star God's corpse has been in the empire for a very, very long time.
Wu Wei even suspected that the Star God's corpse was far older than the history of the human empire.
In such a long process, the Star God's corpse has been continuously providing the human empire with a steady stream of rare metals.
This undoubtedly shows that
the divine power of this Star God is far more powerful than that of ordinary gods.
No.
This is no longer a question of divine power.
Based on this alone, Wu Wei can believe that
this Star God, even if it is just a corpse, is far more powerful than any god!
Because in the history of the empire, even the blessings of all the gods combined could not produce so many special metals.
“That's right!”
Seeing that Wu Wei finally understood this point, Shi Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“It is because of the Star God's corpse's ability that our human empire possesses far more rare metals than any other lord.”
“After all, sand transported from other planes can be turned into very valuable special metals after being buried underground for a period of time.”
“Such temptation, such value, is impossible for any lord, anyone, to easily give up.”
“So even though the human empire has long known that the Star God's corpse possesses extreme danger, we still built a huge industrial world on this world and stationed a large number of troops and enfeoffed lords.”
“The empire did this in order to, once something unexpected happened to this thing called the Star God's corpse, we could use these military forces to ensure the safety of the rest... Uh, what are you doing?”
As she spoke, Wu Wei suddenly erected a deep abyss teleportation gate in front of him.
Then, the abyss lord immediately stuck his head in and loudly arranged something.
“Nothing.”
“I'm just telling my subordinates that when this area is safe enough, I'll have them bring some abyss soil over here, bury it here, and dig it up when it turns into rare metal.”
“Sigh...”
Shi Xin helplessly covered her forehead.
“It's useless.”
“The cycle of this radiation is calculated in years.”
“And the changes in the properties of these metals are all random.”
“You can't determine what kind of metal they will change into.”
Hearing this, the light in Wu Wei's eyes disappeared.
It seemed that he was really disappointed.
“Right.”
However, Wu Wei quickly perked up.
“You only answered the question about the use of the Star God's corpse, I still have a question I don't understand.”
“What is the connection between the Star God and the Elven Court?”
Wu Wei still didn't quite understand.
The Elven Court is also a race that does not lack precious minerals.
According to Wu Wei's understanding of this group of pointy-eared people, even if they knew of the existence of the Star God's corpse, they probably wouldn't go to such great lengths to attack here.
The reason is simple.
The Elven World Tree is far more precious than rare metals!
And the Elven Court is even willing to spend an entire World Tree in order to attack here.
This is obviously a losing business, okay!
So, Wu Wei still needs to figure out what is the connection between the Star God and the elves?
