I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 326. Super Large Spirit Vein
Chapter 326: 326. Super Large Spirit Vein
The internet overflowed with curses, some even petitioning the government to use nuclear bombs.
Lu Li followed the plan and led his team to the Treasury Department, searching for the vault.
The Treasury building was very close to the White Mansion, and the statue of the first secretary, Alexander Hamilton, stood at the entrance.
Lu Li effortlessly shattered the statue with a slap and led his team charging inside.
With all the chaos, the building was already empty.
Lu Li activated Heavenly Eye and quickly located the vault; he even saw the gold inside through a circular steel gate that was 20 centimeters thick.
"At least 20 tons, that should suffice!"
With a wave of his hand, six Flying Swords whistled out, chiseling notches into the steel gate.
Amid the harsh sound of metal being torn, the steel gate was forcibly pried open with a large gap.
The inside was packed with glittering gold bricks, stirring the Flying Swords’ restlessness.
"Go on, eat," he ordered.
At Lu Li’s command, the Flying Swords eagerly rushed in, drilling into the stacks of gold bricks and extracting strands of golden particles to devour.
Sheets of gold bricks lost their color and disintegrated into dust.
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Li’s Divine Soul Emerged and flew into the air.
Remaining alert, he searched for a Spirit Vein.
At the moment, the Kunlun Mirror still had eighty units stored, enough to last for a while.
For safety’s sake, it was best to take the gold and leave, as no one could guarantee the Star Alliance wouldn’t resort to nuclear bombs.
Those were incredibly powerful and caused extensive damage. Even with the Kunlun Mirror’s Cross-border ability, it was better not to take risks.
Lu Li had originally planned to give up if the Spirit Veins were too small or too troublesome to extract.
After all, the Capital couldn’t hold a candle to water-rich cities like New Orleans.
It only had the moderately sized Potomac River flowing through it, slightly more than Houston.
People always assume things, and Lu Li was no exception, falling into the error of empiricism and habitual thinking.
Thus, his Divine Soul Light Ball flew into the high skies, over a thousand meters up, to observe Qi and was shocked enough to almost do a backflip!
What appeared in his Heavenly Eye Vision was the largest Spirit Vein he had ever seen.
The vast expanse of azure radiance even covered the entire Capital!
"Three times bigger than New Orleans’ 300 units!"
Lu Li was shocked on the spot!
Apart from his astonishment, he also discovered that the Spirit Vein was still underground.
All three sightings were underground; it couldn’t be a coincidence.
"It seems that the Spirit Veins and Spirit Mechanisms of Blue Star are very different from those in Otherworld. Though the two worlds seem similar, they are ultimately two different worlds..."
While feeling sentimental, Lu Li also felt somewhat worried.
The Spirit Veins buried deep underground were not easy to extract; last time, it took a tremendous effort with the Kunlun Mirror to succeed.
But with such a huge reserve, however difficult, he had to find a way.
Meanwhile, as Lu Li observed Qi, the Flying Swords had already finished their meal!
He quickly allowed his Divine Soul to Return, checking on his precious swords.
Each of the six Flying Swords had absorbed a ton of gold and finally stopped sending out "hungry" emotional fluctuations, evidently satiated.
But just as people get sleepy after eating, so did the Flying Swords.
They voluntarily burrowed into their master’s backpack, emitting "sleepy" emotional fluctuations, and then fell asleep...
A mix of joy and concern appeared on Lu Li’s face.
He was pleased the Flying Swords were refining and absorbing the gold through hibernation and transformation.
But he was worried because there was still work to do, and he was suddenly short of six crucial helpers...
At this point, overthinking was useless.
Lu Li immediately instructed a Puppet, "Take the remaining gold and find me."
After making arrangements, he left the Treasury before everyone else to pinpoint the exact location of the Spirit Vein.
Outside was utterly silent, and the Star Alliance military remained quiet.
Lu Li’s heart tensed up, "We need to hasten our actions to prevent the Star Alliance from really dropping a nuclear bomb!"
~~~~~~~~~~
This worry was not without reason.
Calls to use nuclear bombs, along with specific proposals, had already been laid before the President of the Star Alliance Country.
The dark-skinned president, with a poker face, flipped through the documents, surrounded by high-ranking officials such as the Secretary of State, the Speaker, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The room was silent, with the faint hum of an airplane engine audible.
These people were aboard Air Force No. 1, flying toward Kezhou State.
"Mr. President, please make a decision immediately."
General Marlon urged, "A single low-yield tactical nuclear bomb would be enough to kill that monster!"
The others looked on, similarly supporting the use of a nuclear bomb.
These high-ranking officials felt a deep apprehension and even fear towards Lu Li.
This was a huge variable that had disrupted the existing order and stirred the entire world’s pattern!
They definitely needed to eliminate it quickly to get things back on track!
The President also desperately wanted to drop a nuclear bomb on that freak.
But launching a nuclear bomb at the nation’s own soil, especially the capital, would definitely make history...
Of course, it would be infamous, and most likely it would not end well for him.
Therefore, facing everyone’s gaze, the President spoke righteously,
"As a democratic country, I cannot make such an important decision alone... let’s have everyone present here vote on it."
This was obviously an attempt to drag everyone into the decision. If they were to drop the bomb, they needed unanimous agreement.
But who was willing to willingly take on such responsibility? The many high-ranking officials in the cabin began to shirk and squabble.
This bought Lu Li extremely precious time!
~~~~~~~~~~
Once bitten, twice shy, and this was already the third time.
Lu Li quickly located the precise location of the Spirit Vein, situated on the "River Heart Island" of the Potomac River, which also had a golf course.
But precisely because of his experience, Lu Li’s expression was very grave.
Because this Spirit Vein... was buried too deep underground!
During Qi Observation, although he could detect that the Spirit Vein had a huge reserve,
The color of the geomagnetic refraction spectrum was very light, indicating that the Spirit Vein was buried extremely deep, even deeper than the one in New Orleans!
The last time at Kunlun Realm, he almost failed to extract it, and this time would be even more precarious.
Lu Li hurriedly summoned the Kunlun Mirror to test it... indeed, no matter how hard he tried, there was not even the slightest movement.
"This is troublesome..."
Staying on this River Heart Island any longer, even if it didn’t attract nuclear bombs, would attract some other major force.
Lu Li’s heart raced as he pondered a solution,
"Since it is buried so deep, can we dig it up? Have the Flying Sword and Puppet dig..."
But the Flying Sword was deep in slumber, and using Puppets to dig was unreliable.
Not to mention the technical content and difficulty of underground drilling, there simply wasn’t enough time.
The military forces of the Star Alliance, and nuclear bombs, could arrive at any moment!
"Can we only give up for now..."
Without the Flying Sword, the best plan was to return to the Otherworld and think about it long-term.
But Lu Li was somewhat reluctant.
The 80 units of Spirit Mechanism stored in the Kunlun Mirror wouldn’t last very long.
And facing these same troubles next time, it would be better to harness all efforts to think of a solution now.
"Think of a solution... 80 units of Spirit Mechanism..."
Lu Li actually came up with an idea.
With the Spirit Mechanism, he actually had a last-resort method, which was the "Extinction" feature of the Kunlun Mirror.
