After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1423

Chapter 1423: New Findings in Iron Mountains

The Elders in attendance were Mathilda, as well as Althea, Ansel, and Garan. The other Elders didn’t need to see this, and they were also quite busy with their respective departments.

Linlin gulped as she was stared at by such big shots. She was a bit of an extrovert, but she definitely did not enjoy the attention of the bosses. Fortunately, she was passionate about what she was doing, so she fortunately did not get blank.

After heaving a deep breath, she took out a piece of metal from her space. It was heavy, so she put it on the table immediately, making a loud clanking sound.

The four elders looked at the stone, it seemed like a special kind of metal with a special shimmer to it. In terms of appearance, it was silvery-white and was highly lustrous with a polished sheen.

Ansel curiously held it and realized that it was heavier than he thought.

It made sense that they didn’t dare make the messenger birds bring it to them. Those poor guys would’ve broken their wings.

"Can you tell us how and where you found it?"

"It is in the deeper parts of the Iron Mountains, Elders," Lin began. "Teacher and I were digging with the goblins when we discovered this."

Althea and the others stared at her, unsure whether she meant it literally.

"I awakened a [Perception] ability and am also a good digger like my goblin friends."

Literally, it is then.

"We found unusual traces of an unknown mineral in some ores, and we traced it to certain places and certain depths. It’s not a big deposit, but there should still be a bit more."

Althea used her assessment skills as her husband held it steadily in front of her.

[New Material Registered! Criel. A special type of metal with unknown use except for opening Buko Fruit.]

Typically, the assessment skill would be of some use as long as it was used by someone using the system in some shape or form. Since it was only used to open a Buko Fruit—which was a popular fruit in orc territory similar to coconuts—then it was safe to say it hadn’t been used in a lot of things quite yet.

She took Tori out to see its composition, and she blinked at what she found.

Seeing her gaping, the others’ backs straightened, and they looked at her curiously. "What is it?"

"Hmn, all I can tell you is that it’s a type of metal," she said. "It doesn’t have an equivalent in Terran, but it has a composition similar to nickel and chromium."

While this would need a lot of study on their part, this could be the metal they needed to make handguns! If her theory were right, it could also be used to make batteries and connectors, which would help improve their technology further.
