Chapter 4476 4478 [Goddess’ Blessing]

Although Xiang Nan was already extremely rich, he still couldn't help but admire the gill people for using so many precious minerals for sacrifice.

Especially since many of the ores are raw materials for refining magnetite and orechite, Xiang Nan couldn't help but think about it.

"Very good, the goddess has seen your piety, and she is very satisfied." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "She will bless you and protect you."

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, the King of the Gills was naturally very happy.

"I will take these ores away to offer as a sacrifice to the goddess." Xiang Nan said, taking out his wallet. With a shout of "ores flying here", the ores went straight into his wallet in an instant.

Then he took out the amulet of the sun and stars, touched the cave, and in an instant, the whole cave became dazzling with golden light, and all of it turned into real gold.

"This is a gift from the goddess." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "All this gold is yours."

When the people saw this scene, they were all shocked beyond words.

They work hard to dig ore all year round, but they may not find much ore.

After all, they used backward tools such as stone hammers and stone chisels, and it was really not easy to mine ore. It can be said that every piece of ore came at a great cost.

But they didn't expect that just by offering sacrifices to the goddess of the sea, the goddess of the sea gave them a cave made of gold, with golden everything.

This is simply great happiness for them.

So the gills knelt down again and chanted the honorable name of Kolibuso loudly.

……

Xiang Nan then chatted with the King of the Gills and asked about their history and current situation.

It turns out that unlike mermaids, gill people are not immortal, so they need to reproduce.

The gill people are divided into two genders, male and female. Female gill people are responsible for raising fish, shrimps and crabs, planting seaweed and reproducing offspring; male gill people are responsible for mining ore.

Moreover, the male gills do not have the right to mate, only the gill king has it. The gill king is succeeded by the strongest of the male gills, and it will be challenged by male gills at any time. Once defeated, it will lose its kingship, just like a lion in a lion group.

The Gill People have been mining for thousands of years. Mining is deeply rooted in their genes and is the only reason for their survival.

But they can mine but cannot refine the ores, so the warehouses are filled with the ores. What the gill man just sacrificed was only the most essential part.

The artifact of the Heart of the Ocean was also dug out from the bottom of the sea. At first, the king thought it was just a beautiful stone, but later he realized that it had magical powers.

"The goddess likes your ores very much. The more you sacrifice, the more rewards the goddess will give you." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Give me those ores, and I will let the goddess bless you again."

When the King of the Gills heard this, he immediately agreed.

Xiang Nan then took away thousands of years of accumulation of the Gill People's Kingdom. To be honest, if they were piled together, they would be higher than a mountain.

Fortunately, his wallet was large enough to take all the ore with him.

Of course, Xiang Nan did not let their hard work be in vain, but gave them a cave of pure gold. The entire cave, dozens of miles in radius, was full of gold, enough for them to dig for hundreds of years.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan studied in Atlantis while smelting ore on Amazon Island.

He planned to turn crystal into magnetite and copper ore into orchid, which would require a large number of manpower and a hidden space. After much thought, Amazon Island was the most suitable place.

The Amazon tribe has people, and although they are all women, they are all very strong. In addition, Amazon Island is not visited by anyone and is the most secluded place.

"You want to make magnetite and forge Orichalcum?" Amazon Queen Alekado asked in surprise, "These two are the secrets of Atlantis. How did you know?"

Magnetite can convert solar energy and provide clean energy for people. Orichalcum is extremely hard and indestructible, and is one of the best weapon materials. It is called the "three major magic mines" together with refined gold and mithril.

But these are the secrets of Atlantis, so the Amazons only know the name but don't know how to make it.

"You don't need to ask more about this. If you help me smelt and forge, I promise to give you 30% of the magnetite and orchard." Xiang Nan explained, "How about this deal, isn't it worth it?"

Alek nodded.

Magnetite can convert solar energy and provide energy for Amazon people. For example, heating and cooking require energy. In the past, they needed to chop wood, but now magnetite is enough.

Orichalcum is an excellent material for making weapons and armor. It is extremely hard and indestructible, and the weapons and armor made from it naturally have a very high durability.

So Alaka is willing to cooperate with Xiang Nan.

Two workshops were subsequently built on the Amazon Island.

One is used to smelt Orichalcum and the other is used to make magnetite.

Amazon people served as workers, while Xiang Nan served as technical instructors, and with their joint efforts, they soon produced results.

……

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Nan has read all the books in the city of Atlantis.

This greatly enriched his knowledge. Although this knowledge was thousands of years old, much of it was from the last era, so it was not only not backward, but very advanced.

Even in the 22nd century, it may not be outdated, and naturally Xiang Nan will benefit greatly from it.

Apart from anything else, the three black technologies, magnetite, orchiogen and genetic modification technology, have benefited Xiang Nan a lot.

Magnetite can convert solar energy, giving him a clean, harmless and powerful energy source. A magnetite the size of a finger can store tens of thousands of kilowatts of energy.

This means that a magnetite can drive an electric car at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, running 24 hours a day for a year.

It can be said that such energy conversion and storage rate is quite strong. No wonder Atlantis only needed one piece of magnetite to meet the energy supply of the entire city.

The power of the first generation of the Ark reactor of Iron Man in Marvel Comics was only 3 million kilowatts, which was already shocking. Compared with it, magnetite is not much inferior.

Weapons and armor made of Orichalcum are even more indestructible. According to Xiang Nan's estimation, their strength is even higher than that of titanium alloy and tungsten steel alloy.

Weapons made of it are extremely sharp and not easily damaged, and armor made of it is extremely strong and difficult to destroy.

Of course, if you use a weapon made by Olihagang to attack armor also made by Olihagang, the armor will be at a greater disadvantage.

Xiang Nan also used some of the Orichalcum to make hammers and chisels and gave them to the gill people, so as to speed up their mining efficiency.

These handy tools also earned him the friendship and respect of the people.
