Deep underground, in the core smelting area of ​​the Genesis Laboratory.

The air was distorted like a crumpled sheet of cellophane.

Even through three layers of special explosion-proof glass and the highest level of energy field, the intense heat that could scorch a person still left everyone present with their backs soaked with sweat.

Su Qingge stood in front of the control panel.

She stared intently at the azure-colored flame floating in mid-air in front of her.

That is Nezha's Samadhi Fire.

At this moment, it was no longer the weapon of destruction that burned everything in mythology, but was imprisoned in an extremely precise magnetic confinement field, incredibly docile, greedily licking a piece of dark metal.

That's Xuan Tie No. 1.

What was once considered a masterpiece of human materials science appears so fragile in the face of this divine fire.

"Energy output is stable."

"The core temperature cannot be measured, but the surface temperature of the target object has exceeded 10,000 degrees."

Su Qingge's voice was hoarse, and her eyes burned with a morbid excitement.

"Keep increasing the pressure."

She gave the order, her eyes burning with fervor, as if on a pilgrimage.

"Boil its bones until they're soft, and burn off its impurities."

"I want to see where the limits of vanilla iron really lie."

Li Guobang stood behind her; he didn't understand those complicated parameters.

But he could sense that something powerful enough to change the fate of the nation was being conceived within that flame.

"Sizzle—"

A faint sound, yet seemingly piercing the eardrums.

Xuan Tie No. 1 melted.

It didn't turn into a liquid, but rather suddenly sublimated into a constantly writhing, black mist.

But at the heart of that fog, a glimmer of starlight appeared.

That's a reorganization at the atomic level.

Under the impact of the high-dimensional energy of Samadhi Fire, the originally loose arrangement of metal atoms was forcibly broken, and those extremely fine impurities were directly vaporized into nothingness.

What remains is the purest essence.

Guided by the energy field, they began to spin, compress, and collapse wildly.

It's like a star evolving into a black hole.

Chen Xi stood in the corner, not looking at the ball of fire.

He was looking at Su Qingge.

This female PhD student, who is usually as cold as ice, had an astonishingly rich array of expressions on her face at this moment.

It is a reverence for truth, and a yearning for the unknown.

"stop!"

Su Qingge slammed on the red emergency brake button.

The magnetic confinement field contracted instantly, isolating the heat source.

Rapid cooling system activated.

A large amount of liquid nitrogen gushed out, and white mist instantly filled the entire melting chamber.

"Click."

A crisp cracking sound.

The fog dissipated.

A piece of metal, only the size of a fist, floated silently in mid-air.

It is no longer black.

It was a deep, dark purple.

The most bizarre thing is that its surface is not smooth, but rather seems to have miniature galaxies slowly flowing around it, twinkling with starlight, making it mysterious and unpredictable.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone held their breath, as if it were some kind of fragile dream.

With trembling hands, Su Qingge manipulated the robotic arm to remove it.

"Hardness test".

Her voice was trembling.

The diamond drill bit slowly descended, accompanied by a piercing hum, and drilled hard into the dark purple metal.

"collapse--!"

There is no suspense.

The industrial diamond, representing the highest hardness in nature, shattered into a cloud of white powder the moment it touched the metal surface.

And not a single scratch was left on that dark purple metal.

Even more so, the starlight on its surface flowed more joyfully, yet it remained pristine, cold, and hard.

"This is impossible..."

An elderly materials scientist slumped in his chair, tears streaming down his face.

"This defies physics..."

Su Qingge ignored the shock of the crowd.

She moved on to the next test as quickly as she could, like a madwoman.

"Tension test".

Two hydraulic presses, powerful enough to snap the arresting cables of an aircraft carrier, gripped both ends of the metal.

The readings began to skyrocket.

One thousand tons.

Five thousand tons.

Ten thousand tons.

The hydraulic press began to groan under the strain, and the bolts at the joints even started to fly off.

But the metal didn't budge.

Until the hydraulic press completely exploded, oil sprayed all over the ground.

It remains in its original form, as if a gentle breeze had just touched it.

"Fifty times..."

Looking at the final reading, Su Qingge felt completely drained and slumped against the control panel.

She turned her head and looked at Li Guobang, her eyes filled with a chilling light.

"minister."

"Its strength is fifty times that of Xuan Tie No. 1."

"Do you know what this means?"

Li Guobang's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Of course he knew.

"Space elevator".

The four words that came out of his mouth carried immense weight.

The biggest bottleneck limiting human access to space has always been materials.

No material can withstand the weight and centrifugal force of a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers.

But now we have it.

"It's not just a space elevator."

Chen Xi walked over, his gaze falling on the piece of metal named Xuan Tie No. 2, a smile playing on his lips.

"If used for tank armor, it can withstand the shockwave of a nuclear bomb."

"If used as the keel of a fighter jet, we can create a monster that can make a sharp turn at Mach 30 without falling apart."

"Most importantly..."

Chen Xi pointed to the screen next to him that displayed energy consumption.

"Look at that."

Li Guobang followed his finger and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

The energy consumption readings are surprisingly low.

"How is that possible? With such terrifyingly high temperatures, how can the energy consumption be only one-tenth that of a regular electric furnace?"

"Because it is the spark."

Su Qingge picked up the conversation, her tone full of fervor.

"The Samadhi Fire itself is an energy source. The electrical energy we input is only to maintain the magnetic confinement field, not for heating."

"In other words..."

Su Qingge took a deep breath and delivered a conclusion that sent chills down everyone's spine.

"As long as the flame remains burning, we can mass-produce this divine metal indefinitely at extremely low cost."

"This is a magic weapon with a rock-bottom price."

Li Guobang suddenly closed his eyes.

He was calming himself down.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes again, his eyes now filled with a ruthless and decisive steely resolve.

"Block the news."

"Classified as Top Secret".

"All participants must immediately sever all contact with the outside world."

He turned to look at Chen Xi and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"Kid."

"You've given the country a new, more robust structure."

Chen Xi smiled but didn't say anything.

He simply stared at the dark purple metal, silently calculating in his mind.

This is just a wisp of fire from Nezha.

What if we could get our hands on Laozi's Six Ding Divine Fire?

What if we could get Red Boy's complete Samadhi True Fire?

The end of technology is theology.

The starting point of theology may well be this simple and brutal force of throwing bricks.

……

A week later.

The first batch of key components manufactured by Xuan Tie No. 2 were secretly transported to various military regions.

Northwest Gobi Desert.

A futuristic, all-black fighter jet drew a strange zigzag line on the radar screen.

At an altitude of 30,000 meters and a speed of Mach 10, it made a sharp right-angle turn that defied aerodynamics.

The fuselage did not disintegrate.

The pilot did not have blackout vision.

Because the anti-G suit and fuselage frame made by Xuan Tie II perfectly absorbed all the overload.

Deep in the East China Sea.

A state-of-the-art strategic nuclear submarine has descended to a depth never before reached by anyone.

The water pressure is terrifying enough to flatten steel.

But the boat remained completely still, without making the slightest noise.

At this moment, the fangs of China became sharper than ever before.

And at this moment of national jubilation and technological explosion.

Across the ocean.

The overlord who had always arrogantly looked down upon the world finally awoke from his slumber.

They sensed something was amiss.

That was a long-lost feeling of fear.
