Liu Mao opened the layers of cloth wrapping. Inside lay a ring-shaped object.
The ring was crudely made and ugly in shape, but completely free of impurities. It was uniformly white like silver, reflecting light from every direction in the restaurant as it turned between her fingers.
"It's beautiful. Is it silver?" Xu Tiancun naturally took the ring, then immediately dismissed the idea.
It couldn't possibly be silver.
Though only the size of a thumb ring, it weighed heavily in her hand, heavier than any training firearm she had ever handled. She knew exactly how much that handgun weighed: 1.75 kg, about the weight of a kilogram of gold... In other words, the ring's density was hundreds of times that of gold.
It was exceptionally pure, harder than any known metal, and had outstanding electrical conductivity...
Liu Mao spoke, almost trembling. "Do you understand, Tiancun? Do you understand? This is a new substance, an element never before seen on the periodic table. This little ring could very well change the fate of humanity."
