I handed over to another world

Chapter 495: Xinghai Super Alloy
The working efficiency and ability of the engineering intelligent machines to work in harsh environments are far beyond the reach of real people. The landing ship that landed on Frost Star did not evacuate an hour later. The rapid arrival of low-temperature freezing air even caused the ship's temperature system to directly sound an alarm. The driver in the landing ship was a real person, and after releasing the engineering intelligent machines, he also huddled in the landing ship waiting for the next instruction.

Chen Lin watched the machines working frantically in the video. Various ice field work vehicles drove out from the landing ship continuously. In just a few hours, they had opened up a playground-sized area on the ice field, and they began to continuously cut and dig down along the original planned size.

The temporary base on Frost Star doesn’t even need to be too big, mainly because there isn’t much work to do here and there are only intelligent machines stationed there.

"Have you ever had direct contact with the creatures on the Frost Planet?"

"The ones infected by the Kara virus all died because of the biological enzymes, but the remaining native organisms have not been exposed yet."

The assistant said to Chen Lin not far away, "But I saw in the internal network news that a batch of corpses from the Frost Planet have been collected. I guess the research results will be out in a few days."

Chen Lin waved his hand, and the smart assistant robot immediately folded up the screen in front of it and made it disappear.

"It seems that the association is no longer satisfied with the resources on the origin planet and the affiliated planets here."

He took out a document from the drawer and said, "Hurry up and complete the upgrade of the holographic simulation equipment at Anyun Base. The title of training base must be implemented quickly."

The assistant standing in front nodded immediately. The upgrade and renovation work of Anyun Base was done by people sent from Base No. 6. All the equipment that used the Red Stone was transformed. Because Anyun Base had already produced thousands of holographic simulation devices, the entire renovation work was rather time-consuming.

However, the good thing is that once the technology is mastered, the upgrade and transformation of subsequent holographic simulation equipment will only become faster and faster, and it will take less than a week to basically complete the equipment of the entire Anyun base.

"Any other plans soon?"

Chen Lin asked his assistant, and the young man quickly looked through the schedule on his notebook, looked up at Chen Lin and said, "There are no other special schedules for the time being."

"That's perfect. I'm planning to go back to Earth during this period of time."

Chen Lin put the information into his briefcase and said to his assistant, "Tell Xiao Wu to arrange his return trip. I have something to do here."

"Okay Mr. Chen, I'll go notify Guard Wu right away."

……

Professor Yu was really surprised that Chen Lin returned to the Hongshan Base on Earth. He put down his work in his busy schedule and met with Chen Lin, which was also a short break for him.

"I've been so busy lately that even an old guy like me can't handle it."

Professor Yu also drank a cup of health tea and breathed a sigh of relief. "After the technology tree at Base No. 6 was opened to us, the researchers in the association went crazy. Anyone who was engaged in research could receive various transfer orders. The project team was always short of people. Anyone with relevant professional knowledge was scrambled for by various project teams."

Chen Lin smiled and said to Professor Yu: "It's better to be busy than to have nothing to do."

"We may have to guide the start of the fourth industrial revolution in the next few years."

Professor Yu filled his teacup with water and said to Chen Lin, "The Red Dragon Association's technological reserves have reached an astonishing stage. Previously, we have benefited greatly from the Pioneer Civilization's technological database. Now, with the technological support from the Night Alliance at Base No. 6, our technological reserves have been raised to a new dimension."

"You must have heard of the Fourth Industrial Revolution before, right? It is characterized by digitalization, networking and intelligence. It is another industrial revolution after the steam engine, electricity and information technology. The mainstream term is Industrial Revolution 4.0. It will deeply integrate advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence into manufacturing and industrial processes, thereby achieving a fundamental change in the production method."

Chen Lin nodded: "I've heard of it before."

"There is actually no exact start time for this thing. It is generally said to start in the middle of the 21st century. However, mankind's progress in big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence was slow before, and there was no talk of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Now our association has an absolute advantage in robotics, quantum computing, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and advanced materials. Coupled with the rapid development of these fields, the progress of the industrial revolution has gradually accelerated. I can basically give you an exact time point now - 2027."

"next year!?"

Chen Lin looked at Professor Yu in disbelief. "Wouldn't it take five to ten years? It's already 2026, and you suddenly told me that the Fourth Industrial Revolution will start in 2027. It seems a bit unreal."

Professor Yu said with a smile: "It's actually very slow. The process of technological explosion is exponential. The first technology we came into contact with from the Blue Sea Star was a crashed spacecraft. Then we met Aian, a survivor of the pioneer civilization. We didn't do nothing during this period."

"We have seriously treated these things as the highest level of core secrets and the focus of our research!"

"The things on Origin Star, Muling Star, Desert Star, and Blue Sea Star are all helpful to us, whether it's magnetic levitation materials or anti-gravity metals, plasma cannons or electromagnetic weapons... We have used these things in various aspects."

Chen Lin actually agreed deeply with what Professor Yu said at this time. After the portal of the Origin Star was opened, the association obtained a large number of things that were beyond the times from the world behind the portal. These things, in turn, had a profound impact on various industries and fields, changing the production methods, business models, working methods and lifestyles of humans on Earth!
For example, smart manufacturing, smart cities, smart AI, convenient transportation, super networks, smart communications... Some things may not seem to be much different, but in fact the core has changed. For example, the series of changes brought about by room-temperature superconducting materials have a direct impact on the future multi-field development of the entire association. Transportation and various civil fields are undergoing rapid changes, and it is of course necessary to eliminate some things of the old era.

"Especially after the breakthrough at Base No. 6... By the way, you played an indispensable role in the breakthrough at Base No. 6. The Association has figured out your role in it and knows what contributions you made."

Professor Yu suddenly mentioned this and said to Chen Lin with a smile: "The association may give you another medal or something like that."

Chen Lin was not very interested in this. He had won a lot of medals and had even been awarded a trophy before. The association had given him more than a dozen of them at one time half a year ago, from various fields and with various titles.

He did pay attention to bonuses and the like. The association had given him more than 100 million yuan in bonuses in the past six months. At the end of the year, when the bonuses were divided according to the previously signed agreement, Chen Lin's total assets had exceeded 10 billion yuan. At present, Chen Lin really had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. "This medal may be different. I think you will like it very much."

Chen Lin became interested after hearing what Professor Yu said, and subconsciously guessed, "Could it be some magical alloy material?"

"You are quite smart, you can guess this."

Professor Yu stroked the tabletop, and a three-dimensional figure appeared: "The association has synthesized a very new type of alloy material, which we call [Xinghai Alloy]..."

"Cough cough!"

When Chen Lin heard the name, he immediately reacted. He had just learned about this thing and didn't expect to meet it again so soon. Fate is truly a magical thing.

"I just read the introduction this morning. It said that this material is a combination of multiple rare metals and has a lot of advantages. It is a superior product of heterogeneous steel."

Yu Linyu was not at all curious about why Chen Lin knew this, and said with a smile: "That's right, Xinghai Alloy is currently only used in the manufacture of firearms. In fact, the main purpose of this alloy material after it is manufactured is to manufacture the hull of a starship. The alloy smelting technology was learned from Ellie. She taught a technology project of interstellar alloy smelting and synthesis. The association previously brought a large number of people to learn this. After returning, they conducted new fusion smelting attempts based on the technology they learned, and then this new material was born."

Professor Yu was quite satisfied with the creation of this alloy material, and Chen Lin could see it from the smile on his face.

"This material is very unique. As of now, we can use it to do many things... Of course, the Star Sea Alloy material used in the medal the association gave you is a little different from the one used to make firearms. The Star Sea Alloy used in firearms is the basic version, while the alloy material for your medal has more rare materials added to it. It can be called Star Sea Super Alloy. Its properties are even stronger and more abnormal. You will know when you get the finished product."

Chen Lin nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then said to the old professor in front of him: "I came back this time mainly to report to the association about the launch of the training plan..."

After saying goodbye to Professor Yu, Chen Lin quickly flew to Shangdu to handle things. The round trip took several hours, and the teleportation ability could not be used casually, so this whole process took another whole day.

After going to Shangdu to handle the formalities, President Li Tianyun insisted on awarding Chen Lin the medal on the spot. A bunch of photos and videos were taken for internal storage. At this moment, Chen Lin also received the association's exclusive medal that Professor Yu mentioned.

The exclusive medal of the association is indeed made of [Xinghai Alloy PIUS Edition]. The texture of the super alloy is very unique. It feels very cold to the touch, but the weight is not as heavy as expected. Chen Lin took a light bite and found that there was no mark left. After seeing this scene, President Li burst into laughter. He said to Chen Lin: "The hardness of this thing is not like gold, which will leave marks with a light bite!"

Chen Lin chuckled and put the thing directly against his skin, and immediately felt a cool feeling.

"It contains some extremely rare mineral materials. We exchanged them from black market traders on Desert Star. The total amount is only a few dozen grams, and the effect is very powerful. According to those Tuku people, this rare metal can prolong life and delay aging if it is in contact with the body for a long time. It can also enhance the wearer's perception over time. Those guys said that this thing can be used to cultivate beings similar to [Prophet], which is generally used for the continuation and direction of the entire tribe."

President Li smiled and told the sources of the rare metal components in these alloys, but Chen Lin's attention was focused on some key information - Desert Star, Tuku people, and Prophet.

"What is this metal called?"

Chen Lin subconsciously asked President Li. Li Tianyun obviously didn't expect Chen Lin to pay attention to this. He hesitated for a moment and still didn't think of it. The assistant beside him immediately leaned forward and whispered to the two of them: "President Li, Director Chen, that rare metal is called Hohmann metal in the world of Desert Star."

Li Tianyun remembered the name immediately and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Hohmann metal. We spent a lot of money to get it. We can translate the language of the Tuku people with AI, but the relationship between these guys and us is not very good. We are very wary of each other. We exchanged a lot of their special metals with isomerized powder, but this kind of Hohmann rare metal is very expensive."

"In total, we paid more than 16 billion for 20 grams of Hohmann metal."

Chen Lin was a little surprised. This price was really beyond his expectations. According to Chairman Li, 16 grams of metal was equivalent to 20 billion yuan, which meant 1.25 million yuan per gram!

This is really outrageous.

"We are not using our currency. They don't recognize our Red Dragon Coins."

Li Tianyun smiled and said, "The method we use is a primitive barter. The isomerized powder occupies a part, and the rest is made up of various materials. It is difficult to grow food in the other world, and we happen to have a lot of food on the planet Dalade, and food also occupies the main component among all kinds of materials."

"That's still okay."

"The association will not suffer any loss!"

After President Li finished speaking, everyone laughed.

"The people in Tuku are not lying. Their Hohmann metal is ridiculously expensive. They are still in the feudal society. Hohmann metal is something that is exclusively used by the royal family. The annual output is rare and limited. The ones who sell it to us are a group of people on the black market. As for where they got it, that is not a problem we need to consider."

"You should always carry this with you. We have already tested its effectiveness and there is no problem."

Chen Lin nodded towards Li Tianyun: "Thank you very much for your kindness, President."

Li Tianyun smiled and waved his hand: "It's too polite to say that. The reward the association gave you is nothing. When we develop the galaxy later, I will definitely ask the association to grant you a planet that belongs to you alone!"
