Chapter 932: Chapter 378 Ownership Questioning_2 Chapter 932: Chapter 378 Ownership Questioning_2 The Black Gold Element possesses an extremely powerful function and can be utilized in various aspects of Dream Island; however, its origin is highly mysterious. Yan Fei had only discovered this one piece on Earth, and once it runs out, there would be no way to replenish it. Thus, Yan Fei was extremely cautious in using the Black Gold Element, always trying to conserve it for fear of over-reliance. If the Black Gold Element were ever to be depleted, the development of Dream Island would fall into difficulty.

As the inventor of the catalyst formula, Yang Qi naturally had a thorough understanding of the situation. He explained, “The amount of Black Gold Element needed in the catalyst for our cement, in the same volume, is a thousand times less than what is needed to alter the properties of metals. The Black Gold Element is not the main material in the cement; it's simply a key catalyst that mainly activates the Mysterious Energy contained within the rocks. And it's this Mysterious Energy in the cement that functions, significantly reducing the consumption of the Black Gold Element.”

Yan Fei had known before that by adding 1 gram of Black Gold Element to 100 tons of Raw Materials, the physical properties of the materials could be completely altered. With 1 gram of Black Gold Element, 100,000 tons of cement could be catalyzed, and 1 kilogram of Black Gold Element could produce a hundred million tons of Super Cement. Even if Dream Island were to produce 10 billion tons of cement a year, they would only use up 100 kilograms of Black Gold Element, which is truly negligible compared to the total mass of the Black Sphere-314,000 tons. And with 10 billion tons of cement, they could produce a trillion tons of concrete that compares with steel.

It is worth noting that the entire world's usage of steel does not exceed 20 billion tons a year. Even if Dream Island's Steel Concrete were to capture just half of the steel market, a mere 10 billion tons, only 1 kilogram of Black Gold Element would be needed. Added to those virtually worthless Underground Rocks, it would satisfy the market demand.

Therefore, upon calculating, Yan Fei quickly realized that the production of cement would not lead to significant consumption of the Black Gold Element. But because the Black Gold Element is the most critical catalyst, it ensures that Dream Island's Steel Cement formula remains a closely guarded secret, completely safe from theft or deciphering. With access to the hard Super Rock from underground and the Black Gold Element, Dream Island would continue to dominate the Steel Cement business, leaving others unable to replicate it.

It was exactly because Yang Qi realized that Super Cement had even greater uses that he considered this invention to have surpassed all other inventions in the Dream Island Laboratory. Although Yan Fei agreed with Yang Qi's opinion, he still believed other technologies were equally important; they may not show great use now but will surely bring significant aid to Dream Island in the future.

After introducing Steel Cement to Yan Fei, Yang Qi immediately left him and returned to the laboratory to begin new experiments. He had just received a large number of wreckage from crashed Flying Vehicles, a critical period for studying the wreckage, naturally not wasting time chatting with Yan Fei. He wouldn't have informed Yan Fei about it had he not felt that Steel Cement might be useful for the construction of Dream Island.

Yan Fei knew this was Yang Qi's nature, so he wasn't at all displeased; rather, he was grateful to Yang Qi for bringing him a novel product, a groundbreaking product that could give Dream Island a stranglehold on the world.

Yan Fei left the laboratory and went to Lu Pingping's Office to tell her about the Steel Cement. As a business operation expert, although Lu Pingping's primary role was to manage Dream Island's affairs, she still controlled the development direction of Dream Technology. So, when Lu Pingping learned about such a revolutionary product from Dream Island, she was dumbfounded. Even more surprising to her was that beneath Dream Island lay a gigantic super-mine, comparable to the entire world's iron ore content.

Lu Pingping's first suggestion was for Yan Fei to find a Warehouse quickly and hide the huge, hard rocks that were stacked outdoors, to prevent others from discovering the true use of these underground rocks. Then, Lu Pingping would prepare a detailed plan on how to introduce the steel-like Steel Cement to the whole world.

Yan Fei found this somewhat amusing; he had painstakingly excavated a large number of Underground Warehouses specifically for storing substances from Dream Island, and the rocks that had been dug up could only be piled above ground. Now, in order to hide these underground rocks, they had to be taken back into the Warehouses. So, where should these Warehouses be built? Did they have to excavate new Warehouses underground? And where would the excavated rocks be placed?

However, this problem wasn't too critical, and Yan Fei casually agreed to Lu Pingping's request. Being the person who understood Yan Fei the best, she noted his response to her suggestion and detected an issue. With concern, she asked, “Fei, the discovery of such a new source of wealth for Dream Island should make you happy, right? Why do you seem troubled?”

Yan Fei sighed and said, “Because I've recently discovered something that, if not handled carefully, could potentially cause trouble for the development of Dream Island.”

Lu Pingping was startled and asked, “What is it?”
