Hearing this news, Sanjingjie was slightly startled at first, and then suddenly sneered: "Haha... Then may I ask Mr. Ke Lan, do you have any evidence?"

He tapped the ground beneath his feet and added, "This beast, Leviathan, is proof that it is still alive."

"No." Ke Lan answered simply.

"No? Hahahahaha... Mr. Ke Lan, do you know? Falsely reporting an 'Emergency 000' will result in a felony. Even the Soma Consortium can't protect you."

"But the Mitsui Group still uploaded this news to Ark, which shows that you don't completely disbelieve what I said."

"We are just following the rules. Even if this is false news, the Mitsui Group does not need to bear any responsibility." Mitsui said confidently, "On the contrary, I am looking forward to you, Mr. Ke Lan. How can you convince me and... convince the Ark headquarters?"

"It's actually very simple to obtain evidence of Leviathan's resurrection," Ke Lan said.

At this moment, the uneasiness that had flashed through his subconscious mind before resurfaced, causing him to hesitate for a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, Ke Lan made a decision - "Leviathan's spine is right below the base. If we want to confirm whether Leviathan has been resurrected, we just need to dig up the rock layer and we will see it at a glance."

"What if after digging it up, we find that the giant cocoon has nothing to do with Leviathan?" Mitsuisuke said in a deep voice.

"Then I am willing to take all responsibility." Ke Lan looked directly into the other person's eyes and answered.

"You need to take all the responsibility." Sanjingjie narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Ke Lan, it's the same as if you didn't say anything."

"So what do you think I should say, Mr. Mitsui?"

"Our request is also very simple," Sanjie said, holding up four fingers to Ke Lan, "If it turns out that Leviathan has not been resurrected, I ask you to unconditionally transfer the mining rights of the No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 mines near the Mitsui Group base to us... Is this not too much?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mitsui, I don't seem to have that authority." Ke Lan shrugged, "However, I have a more valuable bargaining chip, I wonder if the Mitsui Group is interested."

"Hmm? Tell me about it."

Ke Lan took out a tablet from her bag, opened the test report of the ultra-pure crystals, and handed it to Mitsuisuke.

"What is this...what?!" When Mitsui's eyes moved to the screen, his expression suddenly changed very subtly: first, he changed from disdain to astonishment, and then to shock -

Ke Lan had been observing the subtle expressions on the other person's face. He was basically certain that this Mitsuisuke had no idea about the super-pure crystals before... The information he had was limited to "the Soma Group's base was attacked by unknown monsters that emerged from the mine, causing heavy losses."

"Super...super-pure crystal? Does this thing really exist? Did you make it up on the spur of the moment?!"

"Please pay attention to the file serial number and digital key at the bottom of the document. These can be found in the confidential archives of the Soma Consortium. I do not have the authority to modify the information there."

As for how Mitsuisuke could access the confidential archives of the Soma Group, Ke Lan did not say it explicitly. However, it was basically a tacit understanding that every group would have commercial spies planted by other groups. Although these spies generally found it difficult to climb to high positions, they could still access the confidential archives - as long as he could get the digital key.

The information about the super-pure crystal has been leaked, and the value of this file has been severely reduced. However, before it becomes a piece of waste paper, Ke Lan still intends to squeeze out its last value...

Or, in other words, this was a naked "getting something for nothing", but Mitsui was totally unaware of it...

"Okay!" Mitsuisuke exhaled heavily, "If the Soma Group can use samples of ultra-pure crystals and related information as bargaining chips, I will have the base transport large excavation equipment here now!"

"We only have information. We only have one sample. If the Mitsui Group wants it... I can reveal a little bit. This thing is closely related to the attack on the Soma Group's base, the monsters that crawled out from the depths of the mine... and the giant cocoon outside."

Ke Lan paused and continued, "Perhaps, after the rock layer is dug up, there will be ultra-pure crystals underneath... If the Mitsui Group gains anything during the excavation process, all of it will belong to the Mitsui Group, and we won't take a penny."

"make a deal!"

…

…

Not long after, the Mitsui Group's transport plane appeared above the Soma Group's base. Mitsui Jie, Ke Lan, Hound and others also gathered in the square.

"Ke Lan," The Hound walked to Ke Lan's side and tugged at her sleeve calmly, "I think you're still too impulsive. You shouldn't have let Layton send the emergency status 000... Although it has nothing to do with the bet between Mitsui, if Leviathan shows no signs of resurrection... If the Ark holds you accountable, things will be difficult to handle. Even if the military intervenes, I'm afraid they may not be able to save you."

The hound came closer and whispered in Ke Lan's ear, "If it doesn't work, don't go back to the Ark after this. Stay out of the spotlight. The military commander of Herhes is an old friend of mine. I can help you get a fake identity..."

The Herges mentioned by the hound is a plateau located in the northern hemisphere of Alpha. The Ark built a large fortress there, which is specially used to supply field troops performing long-distance missions. There are more than 30,000 permanent troops in that fortress, which is the third largest human settlement on Alpha after the Ark and the remains of Leviathan.

"No hurry." Ke Lan shook her head slightly, "Let's see what we can dig out from underneath first."

The transport plane of the Mitsui Group brought a large laser drilling machine called "Lance of Longinus MkⅡ". This drilling machine has a drill bit shaped like a steel fork. The two tips of the steel fork can emit high-power lasers. When this "steel fork" rotates, the two laser beams can quickly cut a circular deep well in the target rock formation.

According to the plan finalized by Ke Lan and Mitsuisuke, with the giant cocoon on the square as the center, the "Lance of Longinus MKⅡ" will cut eight symmetrical deep wells one hundred meters away from the giant cocoon, and then connect these eight deep wells to each other. In this way, the circular rock layer where the giant cocoon is located will be separated.

Then, a small cutting machine was pushed inward little by little, splitting the circular rock layer like cutting a cake. Finally, a crane lifted up all the split rock layers!
