Chapter 1441 Original Core
Chapter 1442 Original Core

"This is the original core!"

Qin Hao looked at the crystal and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Using it to improve sand control equipment will definitely solve the problem of high-temperature efficiency."

A week later, Ali, along with the Hyena Commando and Nkosi's tribal forces, destroyed the Black Market headquarters in the continent, and burned the last batch of weaponized blue crystal data they had seized on the spot.

Cohen sent a message: The remaining members of the Old John Foundation have all been apprehended, and no one will cause any more damage.

At the South African factory, sand-proof equipment improved with native core blue crystals is being mass-produced.

When the first batch of equipment was delivered to the Middle Eastern desert, Karim personally tested it and found that the energy storage efficiency remained stable at 98% at a high temperature of 50°C, and the sand-proof shell withstood the wear and tear of wind and sand.

"Great! I'll sign the order for 5000 units!"

Karim immediately wrote it down and promised to help them connect with clients in North Africa.

At a meeting at the alliance headquarters, representatives from five African countries, including Rwanda, sat at a table, holding copper ore samples in their hands.

“We want to join the alliance and exchange copper mines for energy storage equipment and technical training.”

Qin Hao pushed over an agreement: "Basic technologies will be fully open, and advanced technologies will be exchanged based on mineral production. Marcus's tribal mining school will add practical courses on sand control equipment to ensure that your miners can learn."

After the meeting, Ailiya approached Qin Hao with the test report of the original core, her brows slightly furrowed.

“Deep within the core, there is a pulse frequency that is exactly the same as the extraterrestrial signal recorded in the 1995 experiment.”

Qin Hao took the report and his gaze fell on the curve of pulse frequency.

"Once the orders from the Middle East stabilize, we'll investigate this pulse again. The secret of Blue Crystal may be more than just energy storage."

That morning, Qin Hao had just entered his office when the satellite phone on his desk rang.

The name Karim flashed rapidly on the screen. The moment the call connected, the sound of sandstorms from the Middle Eastern desert mixed with anxious shouts came through.

"Mr. Qin! One hundred sand control devices have suddenly stopped working! The desert village has lost power. If they can't be repaired within 72 hours according to the contract, 30% of the payment will be deducted!"

Qin Hao, holding the phone, walked to the entrance of the energy storage chamber, where Ailiya was frowning at the pulse curve on the detector.

What's wrong with the equipment?

He put the phone on speakerphone, and Karim's voice immediately filled the tent.

"It stops every 12 hours, for 5 minutes each time! The test results show it's a pulse frequency interference circuit!"

Karim's voice trembled.

"The villagers are waiting to use this equipment to pump water for irrigation. If it's delayed any longer, the crops will wither and die!"

Aria traced her fingertip across the peak of the pulse on the screen.

"It's the pulse from the original core, with a peak every 12 hours, which happens to coincide with the circuit frequency of the device."

She picked up a core fragment and placed it next to the detector; the interference patterns on the screen immediately became chaotic.

"Try adjusting the circuit with core fragments, but you need complete pulse data from the deep core. The current fragments can only reduce the interference, not eliminate it."

Just as Qin Hao was about to speak, the tent flap was lifted, and Kam walked in, leaning on his cane, clutching a smooth piece of copper ore in his hand.

"I remember something from 1995! An old miner said that the rattling stones have the strongest pulse on a full moon night. If you adjust the equipment according to its breathing rhythm, you can resist the interference. It's like a person breathing; if you follow the rhythm, you won't choke on the air."

"Breathing rhythm?"

Ryan's eyes lit up, and he immediately brought up the device program.

Kam leaned closer and pointed to the pulse curve on the screen.

"Look, there's a 3-second interval between the peak and the trough. Change the program according to this rhythm to make the equipment breathe."

Ryan made the modifications as he suggested and tested it with core fragments again, and the interference was indeed reduced by 50%.

Arya smiled and patted Kam on the shoulder.

"Grandpa, your experience is more accurate than any instrument!"

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, members of the exploration team rushed in, their faces pale.

"President Qin! The magnetic field suddenly increased to five times the normal level during deep exploration, and the drill pipe is stuck!"

When Qin Hao arrived at the scene, the drill rod was leaning against the rock strata, and the magnetic field value of the detector was still fluctuating.

Mube, an elder of the Kalu tribe, walked over with his brows furrowed.

"The full moon is approaching, and the magnetic field will be even more chaotic then, which may harm the miners. Should we stop for a few days?"

Qin Hao looked at the crooked drill rod and nodded, saying, "Let's wait until after the full moon to explore again. First, let's fix the program on the Middle East equipment."

Suddenly, Aria exclaimed, "Look! The pulse signal can penetrate the rock strata and is pointing northwest!"

She pointed to the signal trajectory on the detector.

"This signal seems to be searching for somewhere."

Three days later, the atmosphere in the conference room at the Alliance headquarters was even more chaotic than the magnetic field of the virgin mine.

Rwandan representative Karon slammed the basic operating manual on the table, his voice booming: "We exchanged copper ore for technology according to the agreement, and all we get is this lousy manual! When will advanced energy storage technology be made available?"

Van der Sar sat opposite him, tapping his fingers on the corner of the table.

"South Africa spent three months and transported 500 tons of copper ore to acquire advanced technology. You just joined and want to get it all in one step. Is that fair?"

Amo was sandwiched in the middle, flipping through the copper ore transport manifest in his hand.

"Let's stop arguing about technology. My copper mine is still stuck at the transit station. If it's delayed any longer, the oxidation loss will exceed 2%. If we can't get the sand-proof parts, the South African factory will have to shut down."

As the two sides were arguing fiercely, Marcus's video suddenly popped up, showing a practical scene from the tribal mining school in the background, where miners were practicing around energy storage equipment, and pulse curves were drawn on the blackboard.

“I have an idea,” Marcus said with a smile.

"We have a technical assessment system. New miners who pass our school's practical assessment can upgrade their technical privileges. The assessment is supervised by the core members of the alliance and the tribe."

He paused, then pointed to the miners on the screen.

“If Rwanda is in a hurry, they can exchange 200 tons of copper ore for 10 assessment slots and prioritize training technicians. This would be fair and would not delay the copper ore exchange.”

Kalon stared at the assessment process on the screen, circling his finger over the 200 tons of copper ore.

"Okay! We'll switch! But the evaluation must be fair, and we can't favor the old members."

Van der Sar nodded: "I will send technicians from South Africa to be examiners to ensure fairness."

Pang Wanshan then pushed open the door and came in, holding a logistics report in his hand.

"With more copper mines from new members, the congestion rate on the East Africa feeder line has risen to 25%. We need to expand the transit station and add dedicated lines for new members. The freight cost is 2% lower than that of old members, which will make it much faster."

Qin Hao took the report and circled the expansion section. "That's settled then. Start construction next week. Amo, prioritize replacing the sand-proof parts at your copper mine; don't delay production at the South African factory."

As soon as the alliance was settled, Old Wang ran into the laboratory carrying a rusty piece of equipment, his face full of excitement.

"President Qin! I found a signal recorder from 1995 in the underground warehouse of the old experimental base. It can be used after repair!"

When the recorder was turned on, a series of pulse signals appeared on the screen, ending with the label of a site in the Sahara Desert of North Africa.

Kam leaned closer and suddenly pointed at the screen.

"Old John's men went here back then! When they came back, they burned the experimental data, saying that there was a devil in that place!"

Arya immediately compared the pulse signals of the original core, and the two matched perfectly.

"There must be remnants of blue crystal veins in the ruins; the pulse signal is coming from there!"

Before everyone could formulate an exploration plan, Cohen called via video, his tone sharp: "Mr. Qin, the Vatican, a European arms dealer, obtained pulse information through remnants of the black market and sent three people disguised as miners to infiltrate the primary mine, attempting to steal the core sample!"

Qin Hao immediately instructed Alibaba to strengthen security.

Half an hour later, Ali's walkie-talkie rang.

"Boss! We intercepted those three people at the security station and seized the sample box, which contained a signal tracker!"

Qin Hao looked at the tracker and sneered, "They want to find the ruins by following the signal? Not so easy."

By this time, Aria had already used the recorder and core samples to pinpoint the exact coordinates of the site.

“There is a Tuareg tribe near the Atlas Mountains in the Sahara Desert. We can team up with them to explore.”

After the full moon, the magnetic field of the original ore finally subsided.

The exploration team, equipped with an improved drill bit, went 800 meters deep. Kam stood by, instructing the team members to adjust the angle of the drill rod according to their breathing rhythm.

"Slow down, wait for the pulse to pass before drilling. It's like planting crops; you have to wait for the rain to stop before planting."

When the drill bit penetrated the last layer of the mineral shell, a crystal with a pale blue fluorescence was brought out. Its purity was 99.5%, which was 0.4% higher than that of the surface core.

Ailiya installed it in a sand-proof device for testing. At a high temperature of 50°C, the device never stopped running, and its energy storage efficiency was improved by 10%.

Karim's video arrived quickly, showing running equipment and cheering villagers in the background.

"Mr. Qin! The equipment is all ready! I'm placing an additional order for 500 units, and I'll also recommend you to our customers in North Africa!"

As soon as Qin Hao hung up the phone, Sophia's video call popped up, her tone much gentler than before.

“Mr. Qin, the Leclerc Group wants to join the exploration of archaeological sites in North Africa. We have mineral resources in the area and can help you connect with the Tuareg tribe, on the condition that we share the pulse data of the sites.”

Looking at Sophia on the screen, Qin Hao recalled her confrontational attitude at the banquet in Chapter 1395, but now she was taking the initiative to cooperate, and couldn't help but smile.

“Yes, but the data must be led by the alliance, and you should send technicians to join the exploration team.”

Two weeks later in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, the exploration team had just set up camp when they heard gunshots in the distance.

The Vatican, with 50 armed men, stormed over, and a rocket launcher blasted the entrance to the ruins.

"alert!"

Ali's hyena commando immediately raised their guns, and Kowa's tribal militia also rushed forward, their spears and rifles working in perfect coordination.

Sofia's security team circled around from the side and behind, sweeping their submachine guns at the militants' legs.

Arya, holding the deep core fragment, quickly assembled a pulse jammer.

Pressing the switch rendered all the militants' electronic equipment useless, turning the rocket launcher into scrap metal.

The Vatican reached for a grenade, but Ali lunged forward and grabbed his wrist.

Don't bother.

After dealing with the militants, the exploration team entered the ruins, where the murals on the walls astonished everyone.

The image depicts a scene of a blue crystal meteorite falling, with the meteorite's location precisely at the pulse signal source.

Arya crouched down to examine the soil at the site.

"There are remnants of alien elements! The core pulse may have come from a meteorite!"

Sophia looked at the mural, her voice filled with amazement: "So the secret of the blue crystal is so great."

She signed the signal data sharing agreement on the spot, officially making Leclerc Group a North African partner of the alliance.

Before everyone could celebrate, Aria discovered a groove next to the mural that was just the right size to hold the deep core fragment.

She placed the fragment inside, and the pulse signal suddenly intensified. The ground of the ruins slowly cracked open, revealing the entrance to a deeper mineral vein.

It has a brighter blue hue than the original core.

Qin Hao looked at the cracked entrance and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems that Lan Jing's story will have to continue."

The Tuareg tribe members in the distance are driving their camels over, ready to join the exploration team to explore deeper secrets.

Entrance to the ore vein.

Qin Hao took half a step forward, and his fingertips could feel a faint pulse floating in the air, which was more than three times stronger than the signal from the original core.

Aria held up the detector, and the purity value on the screen kept jumping around before finally settling at 99.8%.

Her eyes gleamed as she looked up: "It's 0.3% higher than the original core; this vein contains even purer blue crystals."

Sophia leaned closer, her fingertips lightly touching the cracked rock face, before suddenly withdrawing her hand.

"There is a weak magnetic field, as if it is repelling foreign objects."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Omar, the elder of the Tuareg tribe, arrived with his people.

He stared at the cracked entrance, his brows furrowing deeply.

"According to ancient legends, when the Sky Stone fell, it would protect its core with a magnetic field barrier, which would only weaken when a sandstorm passed by."

Cam, leaning on his cane, emerged from behind the exploration team, clutching a yellowed experimental logbook in his hand.
