Chapter 162 Rare Metals

After He Kui returned to May City, he soon came to Su Lei's home again.

"Where did you go before?"

Su Lei said this and brought the teacup to He Kui.

"November City, there's a problem with the asteroid."

He Kui gave a brief explanation and then continued.

"If we add quantum communication technology to our mineral radar, can it penetrate rock layers of about 60 meters?"

"Sixty meters, that should be possible. I was also researching this project before, but it was abandoned because of the new machine."

The range of quantum communication is definitely more than sixty meters. After all, sixty meters is not too long for Gundam on the battlefield.

"Let me see."

He took the tablet with mineral radar from Su Lei's hand. A lot of quantum communication equipment was added to the original mineral radar.

Slightly bulkier than ordinary radars, but
"I will transfer the funds. How long will it take for the test machine to be available?"

Recently, the Warrior Gundam has been temporarily completed, and Su Lei has some free time.

And Su Lei had done research in advance.

"It only takes about three days without practical testing, but"

Without practical testing, it is unknown whether the effect can be achieved or whether the effect can be as expected.

"It's okay, I'll join in too."

"What about your dragoons?"

Although I was very happy to hear that He Kui wanted to be with Su Lei, I would also be criticized if I neglected my main job.

"Dragoon, we can do both at the same time."

".No need to sleep?"

"Won't sleep anymore."

With the decision made, intensified research on mineral radar was carried out rapidly in the next three days.

“Why are you still so busy!”

Shihe said depressedly as she watched He Kui finish his meal and prepare to go back to the office to work overtime.

"It can't be helped. There was a problem with the asteroid recently, so we have to take some time to upgrade the mineral radar."

During work hours, I need to debug the Dragoon on the Warrior Gundam, and I only have time to work on the radar after get off work.

"Just these few days."

He Kui comforted softly.

I don’t know what’s inside.

Now He Kui's mood is very complicated, just like opening a blind box.

We all know the probability is low, but what if?

The gambler's mentality also made He Kui more motivated.

While the two were talking, the beautiful female host on TV also began to talk about today's news.

"According to the new salary system, the Integrated Design Bureau will pay more attention to the innovative contributions and performance of its employees, and the skill level assessment mechanism will be more closely integrated with the salary," said Director Elin, who is currently the leader of the Integrated Design Bureau.

"Commissioner Sarah can't wait."

Listening to the news reports on TV, He Kui sighed.

"But this system is also very good. It can effectively stimulate their potential."

In general, Shihe still agrees with some of the Sarai school's policies.

"Yes."

According to them, since the nuclear power plant is about to come out, they must invest as many resources as possible to try to defeat the Earth Union.

Or at least defeat the Atlantic Federation in one fell swoop.

"Anyway, let's just do what we have to do."

He Kui's position within the design bureau was basically solid at this time. What he needed to consider was the future path, and these salary cuts and raises could no longer affect him.

Of course, as the executor of the policy, I may be angered by some researchers who have had their salaries cut, but the number will not be too large.

His future goal is to improve his reputation within the PLANT as much as possible.

Although he naturally has a group of people supporting him because of his identity, some people in the Klein faction don't like him very much because he keeps developing weapons.

He was far from being loved by everyone, as if Cagalli wanted to scold him when she first saw him.

"Well, but it's best to hide your recent company and not interfere too much."

"Otherwise, it would have a bad impact if too many people knew about it."

Shihe warned.

Although He Kui didn't make much money by using information he knew in advance, it was not illegal.

But the first bird to stick its head out will be shot down. If you are too blatant, you will always be able to find an excuse to attack you.

"I understand." Compared to the Klein family's assets, he was still far behind, even compared to the Sara faction's assets.

I can only keep working hard, and of course keep a low profile.

Thinking about this, He Kui checked the news about the Archangel on the waste dealer's website again. After seeing that the ship had not sunk, he stood up and walked towards the office again.

With Su Lei's previous theory and the strong participation of He Kui, the developer of mineral radar, the prototype was finally produced after three days.

If everything goes well, the next step is naturally testing.

"Can it be done?"

On the boat heading out of November City, Su Lei looked a little nervous.

They came directly on the grounds of actual testing only after passing the test on the validation data.

This was a bit more rushed than previous tests.

"It works."

If it doesn't work, he will ask for a refund, so it can't be impossible.

Thinking of this, He Kui activated the bloated radar component on the battleship.

With the intervention of quantum communication, the detection radar's range quickly penetrated deep into the interior of the asteroid.

He Kui was also looking at the radar display on the map nervously at this time.

As the picture gradually changes, the structure of the rock layer is gradually analyzed.

Unlike ordinary rocks, which are solid, the rocks on the screen look more like sponges.

"From the traces, it should be corroded by sulfide or something like that. At least half of the area cannot be used."

Su Lei was also looking at the screen.

"Look again."

As we were talking, the radar went deeper and deeper, from ten meters to twenty and thirty meters.
The two men, holding their breath, finally reached a distance of sixty meters.

There were no more loose black traces inside the sixty-meter rock, but instead there were many purple spots.

Not too much, probably only an area of ​​about ten cubic meters.

"I remember that purple is an unknown material, but I presume that the material is of high value, right?"

He Kui looked at the purple in front of him, and after being happy, he felt a little unreal and confused.

"Yes, but your piece is a bit big."

Su Lei suppressed the excitement in her heart and at the same time cut off all communications between the ship and the outside world.

"This should be a high-grade rare metal. Should we report it?"

There are only two people here, and as long as the experimental data is deleted, no one will know their findings.

"."

He Kui frowned when he heard this before he felt happy.

He can process the rare metals himself, but the problem is that it is a problem to use them properly after processing, and there is a high possibility that they will be discovered by ZAFT.

".Do you think Lux would be interested?"

"Ms. Lux? Of course there is."

Su Lei nodded without hesitation.

The Klein school wants to realize the power of ideas, so they definitely want rare metals.

Even in ZAFT, there is not much of this metal left, and if you collect them all together, they would only be the size of an ordinary shield.

The one in He Kui's hand is about that big.

"Then without further ado, go back and help me contact them."

"Are you serious?"

Hearing that He Kui made the decision so quickly, Su Lei was a little hesitant. Although she did have this idea in her heart, could He Kui really give up?
"Really, this is also what we both discovered."

He Kui said softly and gently.

[Su Lei's Favorability 158]

He Kui was not excited when he saw the favorability bar. His actions were not for the favorability.

He couldn't keep the metal, so he might as well exchange it for something more practical.

Since it was discovered by the two of them, they naturally had to consider Su Lei's opinion, and if he gave it to Lux, he would definitely get some corresponding benefits.

Anyway, she is a wealthy woman, so it's okay for her to replace the radar for this asteroid.

And he can also add driving skills.

"OK then."

Seeing that He Kui was certain, Su Lei did not try to persuade him any further.

Pretending nothing happened, the two of them quickly returned to the design bureau together.

After bringing He Kui to her home, Su Lei quickly connected with Lux.
