Gold and Silver Alchemist

What appeared in front of me was an eagle with its wings spread out long.

It was no ordinary eagle.

The entire body was made of rock.

Crystals of various colors were embedded here and there in the dark stone block.

“Is that a kind similar to the Orihalcon lion?”

yayayayak-

The eagle raised its claws and attacked.

hiss-

The greatsword wielded by Kim Seo-yeon split the guy in half and crashed.

“It’s completely different from the Orihalcon lion!”

When the Orichalcon lion was cut with a sword, a liquid like blood flowed from the wound.

And it had a structure similar to that of a living body, such as skin and bones.

However, the cut edge of the eagle was just a rock.

It was neither a creature nor a robot, but a stone mass moved by magic.

yayayayak-

It wasn’t just one eagle that attacked.

Dozens of eagles attacked from all sides at the same time.

hiss-

hiss-

He mercilessly cut down the attacking eagles.

The vultures cut off like tofu by the Orihalcon Greatsword fell to the ground.

But the number of slash and slash vultures continued to grow.

It was like if you slashed one, two would fly in and attack you.

I looked into the distance and saw thousands of eagles rushing like swarms of insects.

Eventually it was completely surrounded by vultures.

“What are these things?”

“It’s like a defensive spell to ward off intruders!”

Even in the underground space beneath Lake Baikal where the entrance gate of the 2nd factory was hidden, there was a defensive magic to prevent intruders.

It was a mirage that returned the attack as it was.

The yakuza belonging to the Yamaguchi-gumi were wiped out while fighting the mirage.

But that was the lowest level of defense magic.

“Perhaps you didn’t enter here in a normal way, so your defense magic is ‘full power’!”

I couldn’t find it, but there must be an altar that serves as an elevator in the basement here too.

I had to put a stone box containing the elixir on top of the altar to enter, but I ignored the formal procedure and dug in.

In the case of a private house, it is not the front door, but breaking a window or breaking through a wall.

So it was clear that the highest level of defense magic had been activated to prevent trespassers.

yayayayak-

The number of attacking rock eagles was so great that they completely obscured their vision.

“There’s no answer with a greatsword.”

hiss-

I took out a machine gun from my inventory and picked it up.

It was not an ordinary machine gun.

It was a ＜magic machine gun＞ made of Orihalcon material, including the chamber and barrel.

The knowledge of making machine guns was not contained in the leaves.

There were several machine guns used by the Hong Kong Triads in the inventory, and they were modeled after them.

Using the ＜magic molding machine (3D printer)＞, machine gun parts were made and assembled with Orihalcon material.

The bullets were also made of orichalcon.

In addition, the ammunition was completed using ＜bay salt explosive＞, which is 100 times stronger than normal gunpowder.

Sea salt explosives only explode when you want them to, so this gun doesn’t need a trigger, let alone a ball to cap the ammo.

Only I could use this gun.

‘launch!’

bang bang bang-

The muzzle of the machine gun spewed fire, and Orichalcon bullets were fired at a tremendous rate of fire.

The destructive power of each bullet was truly enormous.

The destructive power of a gun is proportional to the pressure in the chamber.

And the pressure in the chamber is proportional to the explosive power of the charge in the ammunition.

Even with the same gun and bullets, the destructive power can be increased by increasing the amount of gunpowder.

However, if the explosion pressure is too high, the chamber will not be able to withstand and will be damaged.

‘The chamber of my gun is Orihalcon!’

A powerful chamber made of orichalcon withstood the terrifying explosion pressure created by sea salt explosives.

bang bang bang-

The firing speed of the bullets was beyond imagination.

In addition, in the process of riding on the steel wire of the barrel and turning, the bullet was given a terrifying rotational force.

Puffer Puck-

The rock eagles that had been bombarded with Orihalcon bullets crumbled.

bang bang bang-

Continuing to shoot at the vultures, he began his descent to the floor of the subterranean chamber.

‘Recoil is no joke!’

The stronger the destructive power, the greater the recoil.

Because the bullets are fired with tremendous energy, the reaction to the shooter is bound to be great.

The recoil of an Orichalcon machine gun is something that normal humans will never be able to withstand.

bang bang bang-

He continued to descend without stopping the shooting.

And finally reached the bottom.

The floor of the underground space here was all rocks.

big-

The rock tiger pounced.

When it came down to the ground, the eagle retreated and wild beasts such as tigers, bears, and wolves began to attack it.

They were all monsters made of rocks.

‘The monsters are endless!’

Goo Goo-

The scene of the rocks on the ground being made into the shape of an animal caught my eye.

The defense magic continued to create monsters.

So no matter how much you try to get rid of the monsters, it’s useless.

The defensive magic itself must be stopped.

“To stop the defensive magic, we must cut off the elixir supply!”

There must be an ‘Elixir Extraction Facility’ and a teleportation gate connected to it somewhere here.

Elixir was supplied through that gate, and the defense magic must have been working.

bang bang bang-

I keep pouring bullets to keep the monsters at a distance, but even this won’t last long.

‘The bullets will run out.’

I made ammunition in my spare time while waiting to get the excavator recipe, but it seems to be used up today.

As I gazed at the rock monsters, another idea popped into my head.

‘They’re all stones anyway.’

I shouted at Kim Seo-yeon.

“Get back into the excavator!”

“Yes, boss!”

hiss-

I took out the ＜Magic Engineering Excavator＞ from my inventory.

bang bang bang-

While I was shooting covering fire, Kim Seo-yeon quickly climbed into the driver’s seat.

Shhhhh-

The excavator’s Orihalcon drill began to turn vigorously.

I also quickly got on the excavator.

Woo goo goo-

The excavator started moving forward, grinding monsters with a drill.

It was originally a drill made to drill through rocks.

The excavator was the best way to move through the rocky monsters.

Woo goo goo-

While Kim Seo-yeon drove the excavator zig-zag and grinded monsters, I found an arched structure.

And finally found the teleportation gate.

cool-

The space under the arch was shaking.

“found! Drive over there!”

“Yes, boss!”

Seoyeon Kim drove the excavator towards the arch.

And when you get close,

Whoops-

I ricocheted off the excavator and flew at full speed toward the arch.

hiss-

The attacking monsters were slashed with a greatsword and they reached the front of the gate.

He stretched out his arm and placed his hand on his arch.

‘acceptance!’

hiss-

The entire gate went into the inventory.

OK,

self-

Hundreds of monsters surrounding me turned into ordinary rocks and crumbled away.

When the gate disappeared, the supply of elixir was cut off, and the defense magic also disappeared.

The light that was illuminating the surroundings also disappeared and became dark.

Now this place has become an ordinary underground cavity with no magic power.

pat-

I made a big ball of light.

Then he began to examine the surrounding rocks closely.

From the beginning, the rocks here felt unusual.

As I continued to look at the gemstones at the jewelry workshop, I developed an eye for them.

The crystals of various colors embedded in the bodies of the rock monsters must have been raw gemstones.

I picked up a pink crystal that had fallen on the ground.

“Is this…”

“yes! It is a diamond!”

omg-

It was a rough pink diamond weighing over 1,000 carats.

I didn’t think it was possible, but the crystals rolling around were all diamonds.

Kim Seo-yeon looked at the rocks and continued.

“The rocks here are all volcanic rocks. Kimberlite to be exact!”

“no wonder!”

I, who had no interest in rocks at all, came to know about a rock called kimberlite while running a gold and silver room.

Kimberlite is a type of volcanic rock and is famous as a rock from which diamonds are produced.

So, people who are looking for rough diamonds are all after kimberlite.

A kimberlite mine is a diamond mine.

“So we found a diamond mine!?”

“Reduced! president!”

I came looking for gold and accidentally got a diamond.

‘Doggy jackpot!’

Diamond is not a material with a unique element, but a ‘carbon crystal’.

It is made in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment underground.

This was 4,500 m below the surface.

Diamonds are created near the mantle, 250 km underground, dozens of times deeper than here.

The reason why diamonds made in such a deep place could come up here is because of volcanic activity.

A volcanic eruption occurred in the distant past, and diamonds deep in the ground mixed with kimberlite and came up here.

hiss-

Released all the golems brought to Antarctica.

“take!”

“Yes, boss!”

They started collecting rough diamonds.

***

After an Antarctic trip, he returned to Korea.

I’ve taken a lot of diamonds from the mine, but it’s probably less than 0.001% of the total amount.

He entered the jewelry workshop and took out a rough diamond in front of Lee Seo-yoon.

“omg! What should I make with this?!”

When she saw the rough diamond the size of a melon, she asked in surprise.

I replied with a smile.

“What did the jeweler do by asking me that? Make it your own.”

“yes! president!”

Her eyes, which had withered slightly from the monotonous mass production work, flared up again.

I got out of the workshop and drove.

I will stop by the office in Songpa.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been trying to meet President Park and Chief Kim.

Because you have to do a little naughty stuff.

.

.

.

Upon entering the office, President Park and Chief Kim were playing chess.

Since I went to Hawaii to play, both of them had nothing to do, so they had been idling around.

Seeing me, both jumped up from their seats.

“Chairman, are you here!”

Hurry up-

Manager Kim hurriedly removed the chess board and chess eggs.

“sorry···. If there is no job, you have to create a job…”

President Park put on a shy expression.

“no! When you’re not working, just play! All you have to do is do well!”

It was sincere.

The days of frantically wandering around looking for the number of cases have passed.

If you try to ask for a job and get involved in something strange, it will only bother you.

The salary paid to the two was several times the salary of executives at large companies, but compared to the achievements they have made so far, it was a chewing gum.

rumble-

I spilled rough diamonds on the table.

“What is this? It looks like a chadol.”

“Diamond.”

“yes!? Are these all real diamonds!?”

Chief Kim’s eyes widened and he shouted.

Then the president of Park scolded him.

“Shh! Reduce your voice! What if someone hears it!”

“Who listens? It’s an empty office both left and right, up and down.”

The building in which the office is located belonged to me, purchased in the name of a corporation in Nevis.

It was 7 floors above ground and 3 floors below ground, but it was not rented to anyone in the name of remodeling.

“Where did you get this big rough diamond? I’m sure you didn’t buy it with money…”

President Park was also quick-witted.

“Antarctica.”

“Antarctica? It must be illegal to mine something like this there, right?”

That was the reason I came here.

I want to process the huge rough diamonds I discovered this time into jewelry and sell them, but I couldn’t reveal the source of the rough stones.

If the place where the gemstone was found was somewhere in Africa, the job would have been easy.

It’s because you can buy a mining right and dig it.

But in Antarctica, that was impossible.

Since the ‘Antarctic Treaty’ of 1959, no country has been able to declare military action and territorial sovereignty in Antarctica.

Of course, it is impossible to mine resources.

“I wish it hadn’t been for Antarctica.”

I replied with a smile at President Park’s words.

“So to move the entire mine. Where would be good?”
