Chapter 1448 Module
Chapter 1449 module

After hanging up with Pang Wanshan, Qin Hao dialed Karuba's number.

Inside a tent at a mine in the Gulf of Guinea, an elderly tribesman was examining fragments of red light with a bronze plaque, his aged yet clear voice coming through a receiver.

"Mr. Qin, are you looking for associated minerals? There are copper-cobalt deposits hidden in the secondary mineral belts of the Gulf of Guinea veins, but the purity is low. The miners mined them back then, and the content can be measured with copper nameplates."

"Can we start mining now?" Qin Hao pressed.

“No problem!” Karuba immediately agreed.

"I'll take 30 people from my tribe, along with copper-cobalt alloy drill bits, and we can be down in the mine in half an hour!"

Half an hour later, miners' lamps lit up at the entrance of a secondary mine in the Gulf of Guinea vein, and the Karuba tribesmen carried picks and drills into the mine.

The blue crystal fragments on the mine wall gleamed faintly, and when the bronze plaque in the old man's hand was pressed against the rock wall, light blue patterns immediately appeared on its surface.

"The copper and cobalt content here is 60%, which is lower than that in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but if you add some powder made from parent ore fragments, it should be usable."

The miners immediately got to work. When the improved copper-cobalt alloy drill bit drilled into the rock strata, it was not stuck by the magnetic field as before. Instead, it successfully brought out the ore with a metallic luster.

Karuba squatted down, scraped off some ore powder with his mining knife, and mixed it with the powder ground from the mother ore fragments.

"Smelting at this ratio can improve the alloy's antimagnetic properties by 10%, which is enough for the module."

Meanwhile, Pang Wanshan's transport team had arrived at the Zambian checkpoint.

On the sandy ground in front of the checkpoint, three alloy trucks were overturned, their tires punctured. Several guards hid behind the trucks, their rifles pointed at the distant sand dunes.

"Mr. Pang! The advance team is behind the dunes! Their guns can disable the Blue Crystal equipment!"

Pang Wanshan jumped out of the car, took out a copper mining shovel from the trunk, and distributed it to his team members.

"Raise your shovels to reflect sunlight and dazzle them! Antimagnetic weapons are useless against copper; let's flank them and use tranquilizer darts!"

The team members immediately raised their copper shovels, and the midday sun shone on the shovels, reflecting a blinding white light.

As expected, the advance team behind the dunes lost their composure; some raised their hands to block out the light, while others retreated.

Pang Wanshan seized the opportunity and waved his hand: "Go!"

The Hyena Commando members circled around to the back of the dunes, and the blue crystal tranquilizer darts accurately hit four advance team members in the shoulders. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest abandoned their weapons and fled into the depths of the desert.

Pang Wanshan walked up to the captured advance team member and searched him, finding a black energy tracker on his body. The screen was flashing the coordinates of the Crystal Raider fleet.

"Give the tracker to Aria!" Pang Wanshan shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Have her investigate the source of this signal; maybe she can find the Crystal Raiders' secret mine!"

Two hours later, in the smelting workshop of the South African factory, low-purity copper-cobalt ore and mother ore powder were poured into the furnace in proportion, and flames licked the ore, giving off a pale blue light.

Wearing protective clothing, Aria held a testing instrument and kept an eye on the smelting progress.

"If the temperature is controlled at 1500℃ and some copper ore powder is added, the density of the alloy will meet the standard!"

Van der Sar stood aside, watching the reading on the monitor slowly rise from 85% to 92%, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Will it work? This needs to be installed on the defense network, we don't want to run out of energy."

"Don't worry!" Aria turned off the detector.

"The mother ore powder can supplement the antimagnetic properties, and the module's energy output is stable at 92%. Although it is 8% lower than that of pure copper-cobalt alloy, it is sufficient for initial defense."

Just then, a video request for the alliance meeting popped up.

The face of Rwandan representative Karon appeared on the screen, with a group of tribal technicians in overalls behind him.

"President Qin, we've sent 20 technicians to the factory in South Africa to help assemble the modules. Once the defense network is completed, could we prioritize installing one at our tribe's energy station?"

Qin Hao nodded: "No problem! When the technicians arrive, they can go directly to Van der Sar. After the assembly is complete, we'll reserve two of the latest modules for you."

After the meeting, Aria walked over with the energy tracker's test report, her brow furrowed.

"The tracker that Pang Wanshan found has the same power source as the weapons of the Crystal Raiders' advance team, and the signal points to the depths of the West African desert. I suspect there is a secret Crystal Raiders mine there, which specializes in mining antimagnetic ore."

Qin Hao took the report and swiped his finger across the coordinates on the screen.

"Once the defense network issue is resolved, we'll investigate this mining farm. Right now, the most important thing is to rush the module production; we have 48 hours left, and we can't afford any mistakes."

The production line at the South African factory is running again, with workers working in two shifts, and tribal technicians quickly getting to work on assembly.

Van der Sar watched as the blue crystal energy modules slowly took shape on the conveyor belt. He picked one up and placed it under the detector. The screen showed that the energy output was 92% and the antimagnetic performance was qualified.

He finally smiled for the first time in days: "At this rate, we can definitely finish 500 units within 48 hours!"

The laboratory at the West African research station was dimly lit.

Arya stared at the chaotic spectrogram on the screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

The equipment had been stuck for 6 hours trying to determine the resonant frequency of the blue crystal belt in Utopia Plains on Mars when it was suddenly subjected to strong diamagnetic interference. The originally clear peaks became like a tangled mess of thread, making it impossible to lock onto a stable frequency.

"what happened?"

Qin Hao walked into the laboratory and saw Ailiya's anxious look, his heart sank.

Activating the Mars and Earth Blue Crystal Channels requires precise frequency matching; if it gets stuck here, the defense network cannot be fully activated.

Aria pointed to the interference patterns on the screen and said, "It's antimagnetic interference, with the same frequency as the Crystal Raiders' advance team's weapons, and the intensity is three times that of the previous ones. Ordinary pulse encryption devices can't block it at all."

She pulled out her 1995 lab log and flipped through the pages quickly.

“Old John’s journal must contain a solution; he encountered similar interference back then.”

Finally, on the supplementary page of the logbook, old John's handwritten notes came into view.

"Antimagnetic interference can be neutralized by using a copper signal amplifier and tribal prayers. The copper conducts energy, and the prayers stabilize the frequency. The combination of the two can lock in extraterrestrial fluctuations."

"A copper signal amplifier!"

Arya immediately dialed Elder Omar's number. "Elder, could you send over the copper signal amplifier found at the North African ruins? We need it to stabilize the frequency of the Martian mineral belt!"

Elder Omar's voice quickly came: "I'm already on my way to West Africa, with the tribe's prayer book and 20 students from Marcus who have studied the Skystone Prayer and can be of help."

Three hours later, Elder Omar arrived at the laboratory with a copper signal amplifier and his students.

The amplifier's surface was covered in rust, but the engraved patterns were exactly the same as the Mars coordinates. When placed next to the analytical equipment, it immediately emitted a faint blue light.

The trainees stood in a circle around the equipment, holding small brass plaques, and chanted along with Elder Omar.

The prayer's syllables were low and long, the blue crystal fragments in the laboratory hummed, the buzzing of the analysis equipment gradually subsided, and the interference ripples on the screen began to smooth out.

Just then, a loud bang came from the laboratory door. Antimagnetic explosives blew open the lock, and five Crystal Raiders in black tactical uniforms rushed in, their antimagnetic rifles pointed at Aria.

"Don't move! If you analyze the frequency again, you'll blow up the mother mine!"

"Activate the pulse barrier!"

Ali's voice came from the back of the laboratory.

The hyena commando team, which had been lying in ambush there, immediately activated the blue crystal pulse barrier. The pale blue light shield instantly enveloped the entire laboratory, and the anti-magnetic rifles of the advance team immediately lost zero, with crackling electrical sounds emanating from their muzzles.

Elder Omar reacted the fastest, grabbing a bronze plaque from the table and throwing it at one of the advance team members.

The nameplate hit the opponent's tactical uniform. The antimagnetic element reacted with the copper, instantly emitting a burnt smell, and the tactical uniform's energy light immediately went out.

“Bronze can break their armor!” Omar shouted.

The team members immediately picked up copper tools from the laboratory—copper shovels, copper tongs, and copper containers—and threw them at the advance team.

One of the advance team members tried to escape but was kicked to the ground by Ali. A blue crystal tranquilizer dart struck his thigh, instantly rendering him unable to resist.

In just five minutes, all five members of the advance team were subdued.

Aria took the opportunity to stare at the screen, and the peaks on the spectrum finally stabilized, revealing a clear value.

"78Hz! The resonant frequency of the Martian mineral belt is 78Hz, which perfectly matches the fundamental frequency of the parent ore!"

She immediately synchronized the data with NASA and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and their responses came quickly.

"The signal transmitter debugging will be completed within 36 hours, and the channel activation program can be started at any time."

As the trainees continued chanting, the blue light from the copper signal amplifier grew brighter and brighter. Suddenly, the fragments of the mother ore next to the analysis equipment emitted a soft glow, and the cracks on their surface began to slowly heal.

Arya reached out and touched the fragment with delight: "The energy of the prayer is repairing the mother ore! This way, when the channel is activated, the mother ore will have more energy, and the channel will be more stable."

Elder Omar stopped chanting, looked at the healed fragments of the mother ore, and said with a smile, "The Sky Stone heard our prayers; it is helping us protect the Earth."

Qin Hao walked to the screen, looked at the 3D model of the Martian mineral belt, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With 40 hours left, the frequency issue will be resolved. Next, we just need to safeguard the Blue Crystal Source and wait for the channel to activate.

But as soon as he picked up the walkie-talkie, Ali's urgent voice came through.

"President Qin! The defenses of the Guinea Gulf mine have been breached! The copper-cobalt alloy antimagnetic plate at the weak point in the magnetic field on the west side simply cannot be fixed in place, and the detector shows that the magnetic field strength is still increasing!"

Deep within the mineral veins of the Gulf of Guinea, Ali stared at the fluctuating values ​​on the monitoring instrument, his brow furrowed in worry.

On the rock wall on the west side of the mine, three copper-cobalt alloy antimagnetic plates hang crookedly, with half of each plate suspended in mid-air, as if they might fall at any moment.

"The magnetic field strength has reached twice that of the parent ore. The fixing bolts of the anti-magnetic plate have been loosened by the magnetic field. If this continues, the crystal thieves will definitely break through."

The team members tried to secure the antimagnetic plate with steel wire rope, but as soon as the steel wire rope touched the antimagnetic plate, it was attracted by the magnetic field and got tangled on it and could not be untied.

"This won't do!" one of the team members said anxiously, sweating profusely.

"If the Crystal Raiders come in from here, they can go directly to the entrance of the Blue Crystal Source!"

Just then, the sound of a cane tapping the ground came from behind. Kam, leaning on a cane, walked in, supported by two miners.

The old miner's hair had turned completely white, but his eyes remained clear.

Looking at the crooked antimagnetic plate, he suddenly spoke up: "Old John encountered a similar situation at the North African ruins. He used fragments of the mother ore and a copper mesh to press it on top, which enhanced the local magnetic field and fixed the antimagnetic plate in place."

"Fragments of the parent ore and copper mesh?" Qin Hao asked immediately. "Where can we find copper mesh?"

“Our tribe’s miners can all weave!” the elder of the Karuba tribe immediately shouted.

"Weave copper strips into a grid, embed the fragments of the mother ore inside, and then lay it on the rock wall!"

The miners immediately sprang into action, unloading copper bars from the mine carts and weaving them with swift, flying fingers.

The copper bars moved nimbly in their hands, quickly weaving a grid two meters square.

Arya cut off several fragments of the mother ore and embedded them in the gaps of the grid. The pale blue light from the fragments shone through the copper strips, casting dappled shadows on the rock wall.

When the grid was fixed to the rock wall at a weak point in the magnetic field, the readings on the detector changed instantly.

The magnetic field strength increased from twice that of the parent ore to five times, the tilted antimagnetic plate slowly returned to its original position, the bolts tightened automatically, and there was no longer any sign of loosening.

"It's done!" Ali shouted excitedly. "The magnetic field is stable, and the anti-magnetic plate is in place!"

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Cohen's satellite monitoring alarm went off.

"President Qin! The Crystal Raider fleet has released a 100-strong advance team. They are wearing anti-magnetic armor and carrying blue crystal destructive bombs, and are heading towards the Guinea Gulf mine! They are expected to arrive in one hour!"
