After a while, Zhang Ping finally opened two files and asked the system to start scanning.

I applied, you nodded.

How can you read such a top-secret file only once? You have to copy it down and read it repeatedly.

Anyone who reads the report knows that it will take at least three times to say that you have read it.

Just like the report "All Metal", you can read it first with a science fiction perspective and then with a fantasy perspective.

The two top secret documents are:

"Research Report on Metal Life Ecosystem Born on Mineral Veins-Pan Taihang Mountain Region"

"Yanxia Mountain Regional Information Summary"

Just looking at the names of these two documents, Zhang Ping felt countless surprises and questions:

Can a small team in the town have this kind of research report? Where did you get it?

So what will be waiting for you after reading this report?

But after a moment of hesitation, Zhang Ping opened and read.

There is a lot of information, Zhang Ping read it carefully twice, and it was noon.

When Zhang Ping looked up, Master Huang also put down the technical information in his hand, "Have you finished reading it?"

Zhang Ping nodded with emotion. "I really didn't expect that this world is even more crazy than I thought."

Master Huang shook his head: "Reality is crazier than information.

If there is no problem, go to the "Hellfire Adventure Group" to report. After you get promoted to the level 1 limit, you will have two things waiting for you to do.

One is a competition, the other is trying to enter the interior of the old city, search for the resurrection heart, the heart of fusion, etc..”

Zhang Ping nodded and said nothing.

When you accept gifts from others, you lose the qualification to say no - you have the qualification to turn the table up and say it.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ping himself is looking forward to this arrangement. It is beneficial!

Based on Zhang Ping’s understanding of Master Huang, since this is the arrangement, there must be great hope for success.

For your own path to alchemist, rush to the duck!

Lunch was solved by Master Huang, and the system only popped up:

[Dingdong, the two research reports have excellent scientific research value, with a contribution of 3,000. Is it for sale? Yes/No]

Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and decisively chose "No"!

This is the first time Zhang Ping has simply rejected the system.

The system prompts again, and after it is denied, a dialog box pops up to ask about the reason.

"Because I promised to keep it confidential!" Zhang Ping responded silently.

I promised to keep it confidential and I would do my best unless there is a special situation.

The system no longer prompts, as if it is stuck in some kind of thinking (calculation), Zhang Ping can feel the system's unprecedented quietness.

After a long time of contact with the system, Zhang Ping also vaguely felt the existence of the system - this is not an illusory existence. Occasionally, you can hear faint electromagnetic sounds, and if you close your eyes, you will "see" blue and white light spots, etc.

At this time, the system suddenly became quiet, as if it came from the city to the tourist area, and there was less noise and hustle and bustle - these noises and bustle are not paid attention to, but they do exist.

However, what Zhang Ping was thinking about at this time was the information of two reports.

Shocking!

It's crazy enough to turn urban into a steel hell; but there's even more crazy.

What if those sources that fell from the sky fell into mountains or mineral veins?

Will that give birth to a real metal dragon? The super metal dragon that can reach a length of dozens of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers!

Also, some meteors can penetrate the earth's crust and enter the mantle - it has not been discovered yet, but the theory is valid.

The mineral deposits on the surface of the earth are scarce, mostly caused by volcanic eruptions and crust movements. The mineral deposits inside the earth's crust are called abundant.

Especially the core of the earth, theoretical research believes that it is completely a metal ball, with heavy metals, such as uranium.

If there is a little bit of earth that becomes a ‘metal egg’ and hatching an interstellar metal dragon, it seems that it is not impossible.

It sounds absurd, but... the world has become metallized and mutated, isn't it absurd!

Fortunately, the above are all "speculations" in the report documents. But this speculation is not a basis-free random thought.

The first report is a report studying the "Pan Taihang Mountain Regional Metalization Ecology".

The Taihang Mountains and its area are also important mineral resource production areas.

Today, this place is also a metallized mutation area, and a new ecology has been formed, an ecology that is completely different from the old city.

"Crystals" - metalized crystals have grown from the mountains to the underground in Taihang area.

These crystals are like bamboo shoots, which can continue to grow and eventually form cactus-like 'trees' and form a metal jungle.

Perhaps because of different metals, copper, iron, tungsten, zinc, aluminum, etc., the shape of the "trees" are different. Some are like towering trees, while others are like vines, soft flowers and plants, etc., drooping.

In these ‘metal jungles’, there are metalized insects and animals, from ants, spiders, to ‘iron cows’, tigers, swimming fish in the water, and flying birds in the sky.

In the center of the metal jungle, or at a critical location, there will be a "cradle":

Here, there are only 'Metal Life' of Level 0 and Level 1.

And since it is a cradle, there will naturally be "restrictions or defenses": there will be a "unprotected" similar to a magnetic field.

The higher the source power level, the greater the impact.

In the end, only level 1 evolvers and ordinary people can enter this "cradle". Level 2 or above can only stop at the periphery.

Ordinary people can enter, but in terms of survivability, level 1 evolvers are the best.

Because of this, the research report speculates that there must be a super super source species in the center of the cradle, which is enough to form a crushing effect on everyone.

The "Heart of Steel" used by the team now is hunted in the metal jungle of Taihang Mountain.

Taihang Mountain is too far away to get through; but near Xinlai City, there is also a metal jungle - Yanxia Mountain area.

At present, there is no such thing as the Heart of Steel in Yanxia Mountain. However, a large amount of "source metal" is produced here.

This source metal is the best material for refining source power equipment.

Even the current currency is made of this Force metal—the coin itself is valuable.

However, the biggest benefit of a metallized ecosystem is not these, but... a job transfer!

Not everyone is qualified to change jobs with a steel heart. In fact, Zhang Ping and others are lucky.

Most people need to use other means to change jobs, and the success rate is very touching.

Also, most level 1 evolvers may break through in the "cradle" after entering the bottleneck.

What is the reason? Ordinary people don’t know. They only know: they can indeed break through and often get some good abilities. For example, Ma Chuan’s ‘coral tuning fork ears’.

But Zhang Ping knew that there were some speculations in the first report.

Although it is just some speculation and not a conclusion, it is enough to make Zhang Ping stand out. This is the power of knowledge.

The speculation in the report is:

Life and evolution; life can always find direction; and metal source power, etc. are the driving force of evolution.

If the old city was the evolution of steel machines, then the metal jungle was the evolution of metal life.

These are two completely different ecology.

One can be called the life ecology of science and technology machines, abbreviated as: machine ecology;

One can be called natural metal life ecology, abbreviated as: natural ecology.
