Chapter 260 Dog-Bowl Metal
The third group entered strowfields.
The fourth group went down into volcanoes.

The fifth group was even sent into deep space, piloting a starship around the star Violet Crown again an again.
Their task was to use their spirit forms to chase and capture silver star-points blown out by Violet Crown stellar wind, after those star-points had been nourished over long years by sun, moon, and spiritual energy.
They did not understand it.
But they obeyed.
After all, the first one to charge into deep space and catch star-points was their own Silver General, Lord Ruin, the starlit silver wolf.
When they saw the starlit silver wolf return with a mouthful of star-points, rush to Julian, wag its tail for praise, and rub its furry head against his palm…
The Alphas who had lost the many-males competition suddenly felt balanced.
Their admiral had already become the little gentleman’s/dog.
So what if he won a little?
After gathering the materials, Julian began choosing from a pile of superalloys.
In the end, he selected something called Sunflare Alloy.
The issue was…
Sunflare Alloy was not actually alloyed with any special metal.
It had “alloy” in the name only because the manufacturer thought the word sounded better.
Julian nodded. “Not bad. This will be the main material for Orion’s mecha.”
Ruin: “!”
The Alphas: “?”
Huh?
This?
If they remembered correctly, Sunflare Alloy was what the Empire used to make dog bowls.
The Empire’s territory was enormous. Stars were scattered through it like jewels.

Hundreds of millions of planets were classified as habitable planets, vacation worlds, resource planets, agricultural planets, industrial planets, and more.
There were also countless wastelands and dead planets reserved for military training or weapons testing.
With so many planets, the Empire produced a terrifying amount of resources.
Metal ores alone numbered in the hundreds of millions. The metals extracted from them were even more
numerous.
There were so many metals with similar properties that some could survive only through targeted marketing.
Sunflare Alloy, the material Julian had chosen at a glance, was one of those interesting products.
Capital had packaged it for years.
At last, it carved out a bloody path through the dog-bowl manufacturing world and earned the affectionat online nickname “dog-bowl metal.”
Its raw ore was glowstone.
Glowstone reserves were massive. It was common, easy to obtain, and thoroughly ordinary in performance.
It could in the mass market.

It did not have the properties needed for cutting-edge applications.
But dog bowls?
Perfect.
Low competition. Low requirements.
And the ore itself looked cool.
The pile before Julian had a deep black base covered in fine silver veins. In the dark, those veins even pulsed faintly with cold light.
Julian nodded in satisfaction.
“The color is right too. This is simply Orion’s fated main material.”
Caleb: “…”
He did not dare open his eyes.
He was afraid the Silver General crouching nearby would take his dog life.
Caleb and his subordinates still tried to save the situation.

They suggested that Little Master look at a few more metals first.
After all, they had only brought over a few thousand types. The Empire had many more.
Julian said, “No need. Orion has fate with it. This is the one.”
Ruin: “…”
Wolf.
It was a wolf.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Caleb and the others stopped trying.

Instead, they suggested using the most advanced technology to extract the metal, leaving Julian to handle the later processing.
After all, how could civilian extraction technology compare to military-grade purification?
Even Dr. R’s team offered technical support directly.
Julian refused them all.
“This is the birthday gift I am making for Orion. Every step should naturally be done by my own hands. Besides, do you even know how to extract it properly?”
Dr. R’s team: “?”
When the team failed, Dr. R quickly removed the impurities and preserved only the essence.
Herself.
“Little Julian, are you sure you do not need a powerful outside helper like your master? A living fossil of mecha engineering? One of the Empire’s five sacred chief mecha engineers?”
Julian said, “No.”
Dr. R: “!”
Rebellious disciple.
But Dr. R did not care.
A tree without bark would die.
A person without shame would be invincible.

So when Julian ordered Caleb and the others to prepare a starship and take him back to Cloudglow Prime to build the mecha, Dr. R shamelessly hugged Wowmeow and forced herself aboard.
Wowmeow: “Meow-”
Julian: “…”

Fine.
For the sake of all the junk he had taken from her earlier.
Over the next day, Dr. R witnessed a mecha manufacturing system completely different from imperial mecha engineering.
“Sunflare Alloy’s hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance are all below standard. None of them pass. Are you seriously trying to get your Orion killed?”
Dr. R stared at the pile of glowstone and shook her head again and again.
The liquid metal Julian extracted was unbelievably pure.
So pure that even she admitted she could not match it.
But from the perspective of a national-treasure scientist, she still could not approve.
Because purity did not solve everything.
The base metal itself was too weak.
She thought Julian would ignore her.
Instead, he corrected her with rare seriousness.
“Purity is exactly what I need. Pure. Clean. Like blank paper. Ordinary and unremarkable, yes, but it has one trait countless top-grade metals cannot match. Compatibility.”
Dr. R paused.
The next second, she had Wowmeow grow larger, fetch the instrums, and begin testing it carefully.
