Li Weiguo took out a cigarette and lit it again.

His hands were trembling slightly, and his assistant looked up when he saw him smoking.

"Mr. Li, I'll have one too!"

"Yuan Fan, what do you think?"

"Mr. Li, I feel like we can go all out! Putting everything else aside, just those rare elements from that other world are enough to make us a fortune!"

"Yes, this is beneficial to the country and its people. We should quickly submit a report. We never expected to discover such a large mineral resource so soon after arriving in this other world!"

"Mr. Li, the most crucial thing is some novel materials from another world."

Yuan Fan pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo glanced over, raised an eyebrow slightly after seeing the name, and froze when he saw the data!

Major discovery: Valuable Otherworldly Silver!

异界银：密度极低（约2.1-4.5 g/cm），仅为钢铁的1/4，接近航空铝合金（如7075合金）。

Its hardness is comparable to that of high carbon steel (Mohs hardness 7.5), its tensile strength exceeds 1.2 GPa, and it also has excellent ductility.

The crystal lattice structure naturally forms a quantum resonant cavity, with an absorption rate of >79% for electromagnetic waves.

Research has revealed that the extraterrestrial silver material possesses extremely high scientific research and application value. This material is similar to a TiAl alloy reinforced with carbon nanotubes, combining lightweight and high strength.

This material has wide applications in the aerospace industry, energy sector, and biomedicine!

Taking the biomedical field as an example, this material has excellent adaptability to neural interface electrodes, reducing biological rejection and enhancing efficient electrical signal conduction.

Li Weiguo exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

Amidst the swirling smoke, his gaze was fixed on the newly compiled report in front of him.

Each word seemed to carry immense force, making his heart pound wildly.

"Everything else in this other world can wait... We must, and absolutely must, get our hands on these things!"

"Develop! Develop at all costs!"

Inside the operations room, the voice of the mineral exploration team leader still echoed in his ears, so excited he almost distorted his voice.

Li Weiguo could almost see the middle-aged expert pointing to the line about "platinum group elements" on the report, nearly jumping up in surprise.

"My old classmate, who's spent his whole life working with platinum group elements, has gone gray from worry!"

"Cars, batteries, hydrogen energy... these are all lifelines! And we're all being held hostage by others!"

"We have no pricing power; we can only watch helplessly as foreign capital takes whatever it wants!"

"Once we get our hands on this, we can hold our bayonets to their financial markets and devour those mining giants one by one!"

Yes.

Swallow it!

Li Weiguo's fingers traced the edge of the report, the paper seemingly burning hot.

The report clearly lists: platinum, the perfect catalyst for the hydrogen-oxygen reaction; iridium, the core of the proton exchange membrane for hydrogen production by water electrolysis, with irreplaceable corrosion resistance.

These rare metals, considered strategic lifelines on Earth and measured in grams, have formed a massive vein stretching for tens of kilometers in this world.

This is no longer just simple wealth.

This is the power to overturn the world's playing table!

"That's insane..."

"It's like a dream."

Li Weiguo stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, but the turmoil in his heart only grew stronger.

He stood up, looked around at the crowd still engaged in heated discussion, and spoke in a low voice, but with an undeniable determination.

"You should organize a professional team."

"I need a flawlessly perfect development plan within 24 hours!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with fervor.

Li Weiguo said no more, turned around and walked out of the noisy operations room to the end of a quiet corridor.

He took out a heavy, unmarked satellite phone from his pocket.

After a series of complex commands were entered, the call was connected.

"Report, frontline exploration team has made a major discovery."

He used all his knowledge and the calmest, most concise language to report the strategic value of "Otherworldly Silver" and that vast mineral vein.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Li Weiguo could even hear the other person's suddenly heavy breathing coming through the receiver.

A few minutes later, Li Weiguo hung up the phone!

"Go ahead and do it. I'll cover for you if anything goes wrong."

That's enough!

The phone hangs up.

Li Weiguo held the cold phone in his hand, but a raging fire ignited in his chest.

He looked up at the starry sky outside the window, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips!

"The weather is nice today!"

……

A few kilometers away from the Strategic Development Department of the Otherworld, there is a field hospital that has already been built.

"Oh, Mom, don't worry, it's a collective third-class merit, not an individual one... Hang it up properly, umm... hey... there won't be any problems, okay... good... it'll definitely bring honor to the family, so get ready to write a separate family tree for me, that's right, that's right... haha..."

"...Okay... Ouch... I won't say anymore, I can't say anymore, the troops will be training, and we won't be able to talk on the phone for the next month."

"Okay, hanging up now~"

After the call ended, An Kang gritted his teeth and handed the phone to the male battlefield nurse: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Why don't you talk to your family more often?"

An Kang shook his head: "I can't talk on the phone. If I do, it'll either make them worry or set me up on blind dates. I can't take it, I can't take it!"

The male nurse chuckled, then put away his phone and said goodbye to An Kang. Soon, An Kang was alone in the ward.

"Alone again, so boring~"

"What a terrible night!" An Kang looked at the sky, which was completely devoid of stars and moon, and felt that life had no meaning at all.

He's been lying here injured for several days. Li Weiguo and his comrades have already come to see him, and he's quite bored now.

Because of his chest injury and due to internal confidentiality regulations, he was even temporarily kept away from things like cell phones by the doctors.

Fortunately, the military approved his use of electronic devices that allowed him to listen to music and audiobooks.

Unfortunately, An Kang didn't want to listen to songs or audiobooks; all he wanted to do was pick up his steel spear and stab the undead boss that was attacking him in the butt...

If he had an ass!

An Kang yawned, thinking that he probably wouldn't be the first person to see a beast-eared girl in this other world.

"Oh, my soft, fragrant, and cuddly animal-eared girl!!!!"

"hiss……"

My chest aches slightly from breathing heavily.

"Damn wound! When will it heal?!"

"Doctor, doctor, come quick! A soldier needs surgery! Doctor, come quick..."

Upon hearing this, Ankang immediately perked up his ears.

"How did your comrade in the leg bone regiment get injured?"

"I got smacked by a fish while fishing!!!"

An Kang immediately became interested, but the sound from the other end stopped as the door closed.

Soon, the hospital returned to calm...

It wasn't until late at night that Ankang vaguely realized that someone had arrived.
