SWNOVELXO Chapter 430: Discovering the Mine
The location of this Mine is infinitely close to the Upper Mantle.
The Upper Mantle is a transitional layer composed of molten material nearly a thousand kilometers thick.
It's no exaggeration to call it a sea of Magma.
The energy contained within is beyond Quan Yi's imagination.
Unknowingly, Quan Yi had already dived into the Mantle layer, a depth that no living being could reach.
After admiring it for a moment, Quan Yi refocused and began to search for hidden dangers.
Here, the high temperature caused by the high-pressure environment could amplify his power even without Quan Yi actively absorbing it.
When Quan Yi activated the Scarlet Dragon Horns, the vast Fire Element energy quickly transformed into Quan Yi's Soul Power, replenishing his consumption.
"Flame Senior, if we're not mistaken, isn't that the potential danger to Blue Silver Island!"
Without the Flame Dragon King's reminder, Quan Yi himself used his Dragon Eyes to observe the anomaly.
He saw that the high-temperature molten material of the Mantle was extending a long Magma line along the fragile parts of the Earth's crust.
Unlike a river, this tributary branched out from the sea of Magma and flowed upwards.
"That's right, this tributary is constantly rising under pressure.
Most of it will cool down and solidify into a solid along the way, but some of it will break through the surface and form a Volcano eruption.
However, this Magma seems to show no signs of solidifying."
Based on his experience, the Flame Dragon King analyzed the possibility of a Volcano eruption.
Seeing this, Quan Yi didn't panic. He quietly watched the Magma, which was spreading upwards at an extremely slow speed, and an idea popped into his mind.
"Flame Senior, if the hidden danger of the Island is it, I think we should be able to solve this problem."
The Flame Dragon King also smiled and said, "Yes, fortunately, it involves the problem of Magma, otherwise, it would really take some effort to solve it.
However, this matter still needs to be considered carefully. Let's first investigate the specific situation this time."
The conversation between the two was much easier than before.
With the advantage of the environment, Quan Yi could probe the situation underground for a long Time.
In order to further save Soul Power, Quan Yi embedded himself from the rock layer into the Upper Mantle full of molten material.
When the Dark Gold Yang Dragon dived into the Upper Mantle, it was like a dragon returning to the sea. Even without opening the Volcano Domain, it could roam deep underground.
The Scorching Heat could not cause damage to it, and the pressure was low. This environment was simply paradise for it.
With the help of the Upper Mantle layer, Quan Yi quickly inspected the geological conditions within a few hundred miles.
Quan Yi repeatedly traveled between the solid layer and the molten layer to save and restore Soul Power, thereby achieving the effect of maintaining the Martial Soul True Form for a long Time.
Just as he was probing for information, Xiao Jin, hidden inside the Martial Soul, let out an excited Dragon Roar.
It anxiously roared in one direction.
It was the first Time Quan Yi had seen the quiet and steady Xiao Jin behave so excitedly.
The Flame Dragon King also sensed something and said, "Quan Yi, you are lucky."
Just as Quan Yi was feeling puzzled, Xiao Jin conveyed its meaning through Spiritual Communication.
It said that it smelled a scent it liked.
It was at this moment that Quan Yi suddenly understood. Without saying much, he swam directly towards the upper layer.
As he got closer, without relying on Xiao Jin's size, Quan Yi himself felt a magnetic-like sensation through the Dark Gold Yang Dragon's body.
At the same time, Quan Yi could feel the Metal-attribute Soul Power within him beginning to cheer.
It was at this moment that Quan Yi finally reached his destination.
A massive Mine exuding Metal-attribute energy.
"I'm, I'm rich!"
Quan Yi was instantly stunned in place, with only these words echoing in his mind.
...
An hour later, on the western coast of Blue Silver Island, Huo Wu noticed a familiar aura appearing in the sea several miles away.
She immediately called out to Quan Li and Yun Qiong, saying, "Look, Xiao Yi is coming out."
In the next moment, a majestic heterochromatic Dragon with imposing Dragon Eyes shot out of the water and flew towards them.
The Dark Gold Yang Dragon was extremely fast, reaching the coast with a single tail swing, and then transforming back into fluorescent light in the air, reverting to human form.
As soon as Quan Yi landed on the ground, Huo Wu began to ask him.
"Are you hurt?"
Quan Yi rubbed Huo Wu's hair and smiled, "No, everything went smoothly."
Yun Qiong asked, "How is it? Is the situation serious?"
"It's much better than expected. I don't think we need to move away from the Island."
Then Quan Yi briefly described the situation underground and finally revealed the solution.
"It's the collision of rock layers that caused the Magma underground to flow out to the surface. Right now, its location is still very deep, and it won't affect the Island in the short term.
However, to better eliminate the hidden danger, we must guide the Magma to flow in other directions, preventing it from continuing to accumulate.
Fortunately, the problem isn't very serious at this stage, and we have plenty of Time to deal with it slowly."
Hearing this, everyone finally felt relieved.
At this moment, Quan Yi smiled slightly and continued, "Moreover, during this dive, we also discovered that there are many Mines hidden beneath Blue Silver Island.
As long as we mine these ores, we don't need to painstakingly transport various metals from the mainland. We can directly create all the necessary machinery here."
"Really!"
The successive surprises made Quan Li and Yun Qiong feel extremely excited.
The scarcity of metal minerals was the biggest difficulty facing the Quan Family.
Iron Battleships, Steam Engines, agricultural machinery, and other development-related items all required a very large consumption of metal.
To be honest, the minerals purchased by the Quan Family in recent years are basically enough to meet the metal consumption of a kingdom for twenty years.
It's actually unbelievable that a family with a total population of only about 100,000 consumes such a huge amount of metal.
However, the total amount of metal mined in the entire Douluo Continent is limited, and in order not to be noticed by the authorities, the number of mines controlled by the Quan Family cannot be too exaggerated.
This leads to their greater desire for metal.
Now, hearing Quan Yi say that there are ores under the Blue Silver Island, they are naturally happy.
"Well, I have already recorded the locations of the shallow mines. When we gather enough manpower, we can try to mine and refine them."
Detecting minerals is another application of Vibration Perception.
By using the different transmission speeds of vibrations in different materials, different foreign objects buried underground can be detected.
And ore is the most obvious of these substances.
It was at this time that Quan Yi truly understood the horror of Vibration Perception.
Investigating geology and finding minerals are things that originally required various complex technical means and knowledge, but Quan Yi can easily do it himself.
Finding minerals, what's the difference between this and picking up money directly from the ground?
Quan Yi increasingly felt that choosing the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King first among the four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts was the most correct decision he had made.
The other three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts combined might not be as effective as the Flame Dragon King alone.
