Chapter 7 Who is Killing Our Loved Ones
Milan, driven to her limit, snapped! She grabbed a gun and shouted in fury, "Fatty, are you trying to get yourself killed today?"
"Bang!"
A bullet hit the ground near Tian Xingjian's foot.
Fatty was startled, quickly jumped up, shaking all over like a dog eagerly wagging its tail at its owner, immediately plastering a fawning smile on his chubby face, "Just kidding, just kidding. This is undoubtedly the brilliant work of the beautiful and wise Miss Milan."
Seeing that Milan seemed still furious and about to lash out again, Fatty, knowing that this seemingly calm woman was actually a powder keg, quickly changed the subject, "What kind of metal is used in this Mecha?"
Milan's anger seemed to diminish a bit when talking about her proud creation. She threw aside the gun and clapped her hands, "Let me teach you something clever. This is a biological dual state metal invented by Professor Boswell and me, experimental code BM3633. It hasn't officially been named yet."
As she moved towards the large computer against the wall, Milan signaled for Fatty to follow, continuing, "This metal has the advantages of liquid metal without its drawbacks. Of course, the price is just as high as liquid metal. In some aspects, it's even rarer than liquid metal."
She opened a file on the computer's touch screen and pointed at a plant in the document, explaining to Fatty, "This metal can only be derived from the raw materials produced by this Gold-devouring Grass. This plant is only found at the North Pole of Miloke Star. Its numbers are very scarce. Because the soil in the Arctic contains natural radioactive substances and ultra-heavy metal particles, practically no other life can survive there. This grass is the sole inhabitant, maintaining its own nutrient balance with a high metal ratio. The metals it cannot absorb are excreted, forming the raw biological dual state metal."
"The properties of this metal were discovered by Professor Boswell." Milan's slender fingers twirled a pen back and forth quickly, her small nose wrinkling in pride as she said, "I used the repulsion between Gold-devouring Grass and the raw materials to complete this alloy!!"
Fatty understood, "So, the liquid metal state is caused by the biological cells of the Gold-devouring Grass making the metal liquid. When these biological cells are forcefully isolated or turned off, the metal, resembling a biological fluid, reverts to a solid state. Although the Gold-devouring Grass can alter the metal's form, this metal is essentially its excretion and thus avoids the devouring effect caused by biological cells on metals. By mixing memory alloy to speed up this transformation process, this super alloy is produced. Is that right?"
"Correct." A voice came from behind Fatty. He turned around to see Professor Boswell.
