Chapter 847 - 451: Canglan Civilization’s Potential Surpasses Iron Fist Civilization (2)
"Yes!"
Donna Silver Leaf was taken aback for a moment and suddenly had an epiphany: "I understand! Silent Gel should be able to isolate the noise from mining operations, which is a very clever solution."
However, Darigan had a question: "Since the branches can transfer sand, why not directly insert them into the deep layers of the sand to transfer the Energy Copper ore directly?"
Donna Silver Leaf seemed to have some understanding of Spatial Power and replied: "Space Transfer is not as simple as you think; the heavier the material, the more Space Power it consumes.
"This is not a proportional increase but an exponential surge.
"The density of Energy Copper ore is probably three times that of Black Sand, but it consumes nine, ten times, or even more Space Power.
"If Space Power consumption is too high, it could disrupt the stability of the World Island or even endanger the World Gate.
"From this perspective, establishing a vertical shaft first and then transporting the ore up is a more stable method.
"If many people work simultaneously, the mining speed wouldn’t be much slower than short-distance teleportation."
Darigan suddenly realized: "I see."
Donna Silver Leaf continued: "The method devised by the Canglan People to mine in the Black Sand Sea does not require advanced technology or expensive equipment, making it very suitable for weaker civilizations like ours."
Darigan pointed out a problem succinctly: "The cycle for this mining method is too long, and mining a large vein might take several months, inevitably encountering dangers."
Donna Silver Leaf had already thought of a solution: "The Iron Fist Civilization and Canglan Civilization are neighbors, and the Canglan Civilization has a group of Centipede Overlords. We can hire them at a certain price to guard the mining sites."
Darigan thought for a moment and found no flaw: "This is indeed a solution."
Despite acknowledging this, his expression revealed a trace of reluctance.
After all, compared to the Canglan Civilization, Iron Fist is considered an established civilization, and having to hire a fledgling civilization to protect resources felt awkward to him.
Donna Silver Leaf glanced at her colleague and said coolly: "Although Iron Fist Civilization has been present for 76 years, far ahead of the Canglan Civilization,
"Though Iron Fist has far more warriors than the Canglan Civilization, in terms of development potential, the Canglan Civilization significantly surpasses the Iron Fist Civilization."
She pointed to the mine, full of emotion: "When the Iron Fist Civilization had been here for three years, they absolutely didn’t have the capability to organize personnel for large-scale mining operations in the Primordial World."
Donna Silver Leaf’s tone carried a hint of warning: "So don’t let arrogance obscure the sensitivity of the Iron Spirit."
Darigan was silent for a moment before nodding: "I understand!"
Donna Silver Leaf earnestly said: "When the expedition team returns to the World Gate of the Iron Fist Civilization, I will report this to the Guardian. I suggest that Iron Fist Civilization should deepen its cooperation with Canglan Civilization."
Darigan sighed but did not object: "This will benefit the Iron Fist Civilization."
It was easy to hear that the so-called "deepen cooperation" actually meant Iron Fist Civilization relying more on Canglan Civilization.
Donna Silver Leaf stepped towards the mine: "Let’s go see the mining method created by the Canglan People."
Darigan stood in place for a moment and then followed.
As guests, their movements were unimpeded, and soon they were near the mine.
Donna Silver Leaf soon noticed that from the surface of each green branch flowed a large amount of pale yellow viscous liquid, pouring down the frame like a waterfall.
The nature of the liquid was quite distinctive, as it quickly expanded into a foam-like solid, with countless small circular holes on the surface.
This female warrior immediately noticed that these circular holes were key to absorbing noise.
Relying on the Iron Spirit’s perception, Donna Silver Leaf also sensed that the foam was very soft and surprisingly resilient.
At this moment.
The highest commander of the Jiuzhou Legion, Wu Dingtian, walked over quickly.
He smiled from ten meters away: "Do you have any guidance for us?"
Donna Silver Leaf replied in standard Great Xia Language: "I wouldn’t dare to instruct."
She had an excellent gift for languages, mastering the fluent and standard alien language within just a few days.
The female warrior pointed at the foam and curiously asked: "What is this stuff?"
Wu Dingtian replied: "This is a newly developed super sound-absorbing material in our country, considered a First Level Exotic Material."
He then made a small demonstration.
Wu Dingtian leaped into the mine and activated the jet system of his Exoskeleton, hovering inside.
He took out two short swords and clashed them hard.
Something interesting happened.
A nearby large patch of Silent Gel seemed to come alive, suddenly bulging like a big drum.
The metallic collision would normally create a loud noise.
But after the Silent Gel bulged, the sound became a "poof," barely louder than a breathing sound.
Donna Silver Leaf immediately showed a look of amazement: "This is good stuff!"
Darigan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it’s very impressive."
The two could see that this wasn’t just simple "noise absorption."
Rather, it’s — noise suppression.
Under normal circumstances, since noise is inherently vibration, even a small gap can allow vibration to pass through, making the noise detectable by ears.
The mine was completely open above, allowing vibrations to pass through easily.
But the power of the Silent Gel mysteriously suppressed the vibration, greatly reducing the noise.
