The strength and the iridescent color of the surface that did not budge even with underwater cutting equipment.
Perhaps the iron bar blocking the entrance to the cave was Orihalcon.
‘I’ll find out if I check later.’
First of all, I asked Kim Seo-yeon what the contents of the text written in the cave were.
“The location of the Orichalcon mine was written!”
“mine? You mean Orichalcon comes out of the mine?”
It was quite surprising.
Orichalcon is not among the elements in the periodic table.
So, of course, it was assumed that it would be an alloy made by adding various additives to existing metal elements such as iron or tungsten.
However, being mined in a mine, Orihalcon was a material with its own elements.
“According to the inscriptions in the cave, Orichalcon Mine is a huge ‘chunk’ that fell from the sky.”
“A lump that fell from the sky? Are you talking about meteorites?”
“Probably so.”
If Orichalcon is mixed in a meteorite that fell to Earth from outer space, it explains why it is missing from the periodic table.
Scientists have yet to discover the element of Orichalcon because it is not a substance that originally made up the Earth.
“Ancient Atlanteans may have obtained Orichalcon from the remains of a giant meteorite!”
I nodded my head at Seoyeon Kim’s words.
But I still had questions.
“But how did you smelt it?”
To extract and use metal from ore, it must go through smelting.
I wondered how the ancients could have extracted such a powerful metal as orichalcon from ore.
“The smelting method was not written.”
“okay? Then we have no choice but to go to the mine. Where is the mine located?”
The location of the mine was written in great detail in the cave.
Surprisingly, just like the GPS coordinates used by modern people, two numbers were used to accurately indicate the position on the earth’s surface.
“If you convert those coordinates to GPS coordinates, it’s roughly 25° north latitude and 69° west longitude!”
.
.
.
The coordinates were the open sea of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Arrived in Nevis by plane from India.
From here, you will board a boat and move to the target coordinates.
“Your stomach is good!”
I ordered James to buy the newest yacht in the corporate name, and I can use it properly this time.
It was a luxury yacht with a large drawing room and several bedrooms.
The steering of the yacht was left to the twin golems.
They attended aviation school in the United States and came down to Nevis for vacation.
And this is where I got my yacht piloting license.
He was taking the course to become an ‘all-around pilot’ who could drive both aircraft and ships.
humming-
After a full day of sailing, we arrived at our destination.
Of course, this place was in the ‘Bermuda Triangle’.
‘I came to a famous place.’
The Bermuda Triangle was once the most famous mystery area in the world.
This is because ships and planes often go missing in this area.
In particular, all sorts of rumors began to circulate after an incident in which a squadron of torpedo bombers belonging to the US military and a flying boat to rescue them disappeared.
Starting with the theory that there is a ‘space-time gate’ in the Bermuda Triangle, the theory that a monster from the ‘Cthulhu Mythology’ such as the Kraken lives on the seabed, and even the nonsensical theory that there is a black hole, have been circulating.
Among the scientifically approached theories, there is a claim that there is a layer of methane gas at the bottom of the sea here, and whenever it erupts in large quantities, the density of water decreases, causing ships to sink and airplane engines to explode.
However, the most persuasive theory was the claim that ‘accidents are frequent due to high traffic’.
In fact, the Bermuda Triangle is a transportation hub, so the lines of ships and airliners are concentrated.
It is only natural that accidents often occur in places with heavy traffic, just as lottery tickets often come in first place.
‘however···.’
I don’t know why the aircraft carrier is holding out here.
Upon arriving at their destination, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the United States was floating on the sea, boasting a massive figure.
“stop.”
“Yes, boss!”
The yacht was built at a certain distance from the aircraft carrier.
The entire yacht had already been covered with an invisible barrier.
“Let’s dive here.”
“Yes, boss!”
I don’t know why American aircraft carriers are docked here, but we just have to do our own thing.
“How deep is the water here?”
“It is about 4,500m.”
It is about twice as deep as when exploring Anyongbok Seamount.
However, you do not need to use liquid breathing equipment as before.
chu chu chu chu-
Full body armor came out and covered the bodies of the golems.
It was ＜Water Spirit Armor＞.
Armor specialized in underwater warfare, it withstands the water pressure of the deep sea and reduces resistance in water, increasing movement speed.
In order to withstand the powerful water pressure of the deep sea, they had to constantly supply elixir to their armor, but since they obtained a huge amount of elixir from the 2nd and 3rd factories, it was a joke.
“Bye!”
I jumped into the water with the twin golems sending me off.
The armor was, of course, completely waterproof.
The helmet also purifies the exhaled air, allowing it to breathe again.
Among the skin scuba equipment, there is a rebreather.
It is a state-of-the-art equipment that removes carbon dioxide from the gas that a diver exhales and replenishes oxygen so that he can breathe again.
This helmet is the ‘magic rebreather’.
Shu Woo-wook-
It descended at high speed using telekinesis.
The body armor completely blocks external pressure, so there is no need to worry about the speed of ascent or descent.
It’s like being on a single-person submarine, so you won’t get diving sickness.
‘Feel so good!’
It was the first time I was using an item made with magic properly.
Shu Woo-wook-
After descending for a while, we finally reached the bottom of the sea floor.
I don’t know how big the Orichalcon Mine is, but it won’t be easy to find it no matter how huge it is.
This is because we do not know the exact GPS coordinates in decimal units.
The distance of one degree of latitude is over 100 km, and the distance of one degree of longitude is about 90 km.
Therefore, it is necessary to explore an area of 10,000 square kilometers.
That amount was equivalent to the entire area of Gyeonggi-do.
[Let’s scatter and find it.]
[Yes, boss.]
Shu Woo-wook-
While searching the deep sea for more than 10 hours, Kim Seo-yeon received telepathy.
[president! I found a submarine!]
Shu Woo-wook-
I moved towards her at full speed.
Then a submarine with bright headlights came into view.
It was a small submarine with three people on board.
[Are you affiliated with the US Army?]
[There is no notation, but it seems to be so.]
With an aircraft carrier floating overhead, it was highly likely that the submarine belonged to the US Army as well.
Attack submarines used for tactical purposes cannot dive to great depths.
Even state-of-the-art nuclear-powered submarines had a maximum diving depth of 700 to 800 m.
To dive deeper than that, the design concept itself must be different, and high-strength materials such as titanium must be used.
Therefore, it would cost astronomical to build a large submarine capable of withstanding the pressure of thousands of meters deep.
Therefore, even the US military, which boasts the strongest military power on the planet, has no choice but to use small submarines to explore the deep sea.
[What are they looking for here?]
[Maybe you are looking for the same thing as us?]
Could it be that the US military is also looking for the Orichalcon mine like us?
It was then.
Shu Woo-wook-
Something was approaching the submarine at great speed.
[What is that? lion!?]
I couldn’t even believe it when I saw it.
It was a lion that approached the submarine.
A lion lives in the deep sea!
[Nonsense!]
It was several times larger than a normal lion.
It was the size of a rhinoceros.
swish-
The lion swung its paw and attacked the submarine.
snap-
The submarine was destroyed in one hit.
Everyone inside was killed instantly.
To break a submarine capable of withstanding ultra-high pressure so easily, was a tremendous offensive force.
Swoop-
The lion turned his head and looked this way.
Shu Woo-wook-
Then he approached me right away.
It was great speed.
swish-
The lion kicked at me.
I twisted my torso to avoid his attack.
At the same time, I put my hand on the body of the guy.
Its entire body was covered with iridescent scales.
‘acceptance!’
If you put the whole thing in your inventory, you can simply take it down without having to fight.
however,
‘It doesn’t go into the inventory!’
This was the second experience.
Stones from the buildings in the center of Factories 2 and 3 cannot be put into the inventory either.
Like the stones, the lion is also protected by some special magic.
swish-
swish-
The lion’s paw attack continued.
From noble mtl dot com
self-
I hid myself with invisibility and distanced myself from him.
swish-
However, he accurately identified my location and attacked.
Just as a dolphin uses ultrasound to identify objects around it, the lion was able to sense the invisible me.
‘It’s tricky.’
Can not help it.
I have no choice but to attack him.
hiss-
I took out a spear from my inventory and held it up.
It was the strongest weapon ever created.
hiss-
Kim Seo-yeon took out a two-handed sword.
self-
A blue haze bloomed as the aura seeped into my spear and her blade.
hiss-
ping-
I coordinated with Kim Seo-yeon and attacked him with pincers.
The tip of my spear hit the lion’s chest exactly.
Caen-
But I couldn’t penetrate his torso.
Powerful iridescent scales were protecting the lion’s body.
Caen-
Kim Seo-yeon’s attack was also not eaten by the lion at all.
[Aren’t those scales like that?]
Seoyeon Kim nodded at my question.
[Yes, it looks like Orihalcon!]
Orichalcon scales cover the entire body.
It was strange just to have a lion living in the sea, but it was a spectacle.
[Withdraw for now!]
Shu Woo-wook-
I took the golems and rose quickly towards the sea level.
The lion pursued us only to a certain extent and then went back.
It seemed to be guarding something nearby.
Perhaps the lion is the gatekeeper guarding the entrance to Orihalcon Mine.
pooh-
came up to the surface
There was only one way to deal with the lion.
‘Let’s make an Orihalcon weapon.’
If he was wearing Orihalcon gloves, we would have no choice but to use a weapon made of the same material.
I will make ＜The Greatsword of Destruction＞, an Orihalcon material, to hunt lions.
self-
He climbed onto the yacht and made the invisible barrier even bigger.
Archie was then brought out onto the deck of the yacht.
cool-
The space under the arch shuddered and the teleportation gate opened.
hiss-
I passed through the gate and came into the 2nd factory.
“president! welcome!”
The three golems were diligently refining the golden horse to make a 99.99% pure ingot.
“It’s a lot of work.”
I greeted them and immediately entered the warehouse.
The materials needed to make weapons and armor were stored here.
He took out the materials needed to make the Greatsword of Ruin from the storage cabinet and placed them on the workbench.
You don’t need blacksmith tools to make weapons.
All that was needed was a scale to weigh the ingredients.
‘I need 1 kg of obsidian…’
Obsidian, platinum, emerald, ruby, jade, and amethyst were measured in the required amount.
You don’t have to measure very precisely.
It must be equal to or greater than the specified amount.
‘Orichalcon 15kg.’
The main material for the Greatsword of Destruction was Orihalcon.
It took a whopping 15 kg.
I took out the iron grate from my inventory and placed the whole thing on the scale.
It was 15.1 kg.
The quantity was barely met.
‘thank god!’
After preparing the ingredients, I stretched out my hand toward the air.
‘The forge is open!’
pat-
A complicated magic scheme was drawn in the air, and then a whirlwind-shaped dimensional door opened.
It was the entrance to the ＜Magic Forge＞ where any material could be melted to make equipment.
I put all the prepared materials into the smithy.
And I focused my mind.
pat-
The magic scheme glowed brightly, and the entrance to the forge began to whirl violently.
And after a while
Chow ah-
A sword emerged from the portal.
The ＜Greatsword of Destruction＞ was completed.
I grabbed the hilt of my greatsword and raised it toward the sky.
Glitter-
The blade of the sword shone in rainbow colors.
‘They’re all dead!’
with a plop-
I jumped into the sea again to hunt the lion.
