Chapter 185 The second expedition plan (5600 word chapter!)(1/2)
When it comes to unknown supernatural forces, coupled with the issue of whether Yunhai will stay or not, you must be very cautious.
Not to mention the huge wealth left in the city, the large pile of cut wood alone is a considerable profit for the poor Yunhai. Yes, just 10,000 tons of wood alone is already very good, and it can smel a large amount of steel and extract a lot of chemical raw materials.
So many people are still unwilling to leave this continent directly... Who knows how long it will take to wander if you miss this place?
But if we don’t leave, humans have no way to do so.
One of the old men in charge of logistics took the lead and said: "If this white mist is the S-class disaster of this planet, then the probability of our long-term life here is not high... There is no doubt about this."
"We cannot resist this super disaster, and the current technological strength is unlikely to establish an ecosystem that is completely closed and can circulate in the air."
"And there are too many super monsters similar to this on the continent, and our number of hot weapons is not enough. Unless... rune bullets can be mass-produced on a large scale, then we will have the real power to fight."
Lu Yiming's face changed, he pressed the button and said in his headphones: "Minister Fang, rune bullets, it is impossible to produce large-scale products in a short while... Even if we have obtained an etching machine with good accuracy, it is still far from possible."
Rune bullets are an imaginary supernatural weapon similar to rune knife. That is, carving the cicada wing runes on the bullets, allowing the bullets to obtain extremely high hardness and supernatural penetration.
But the carving of the knife is a plane and is the simplest type. Even the knife has not been mass-produced so far, and there are only a few in the laboratory.
However, the bullet is a cylinder. It is not known how difficult it has increased by orders of magnitude on the cylinder.
It is impossible for scientists to design bullets into planar bodies, because once the shape of the bullet does not conform to aerodynamics, the ballistic will be offset and will be directly deflected. Therefore, it is impossible for such bullets to be produced in a short while.
After discussing this for a long time, no specific plan was discussed.
"Do we really want to give up this continent?" Ding Yuan took a deep breath and said.
He knew the importance of this continent to mankind.
Not to mention the heritage in the city, the mineral resources buried in the earth, even the garbage I picked up these days, are very useful, and they have made up for the gaps in Yunhai very well.
An old man shook his head: "Mr. Ding, we should be cautious. Even if we fill in all the nuclear bombs, we will never be able to conquer this continent. This is certain."
"Yes... there are too many monsters, and it's no good to kill them. They're just a pile of rotten meat. Such things cannot be done! We must retain our strength and find the next continent."
Before the old man finished speaking, Professor Huang stood up and expressed his opinion: "Don't be too frustrated for the first time. I think we have to continue observing for a while. We still have many opportunities, so don't blindly draw conclusions."
"First, the information we collected in advance has not been completely cracked. We should give the translation experts some time. As long as we truly break this civilized language, we can get more effective information."
"Secondly, I think we should examine the mental state of the more than 300 coma patients and the biological mutations they have. The so-called "Saiwen lost his horse" is a blessing. How do we know that this mutation is bad?"
"Is this mutation... good?" a military expert couldn't help but retort: "Their belly has become big and round."
Professor Huang ignored his doubts: "Oh, another thing, is about the investigation of the killed monster. Our biologists analyzed their DNA and found that most of them were similar to humans... so we think it might have evolved from humans."
"If humans are allowed to eat food constantly and swallow the hearts of similar types without exploding bodies and mutating to the end, they may become such a crazy and ugly monster."
Lu Yiming frowned, and Professor Huang's words seemed a little self-contradictory.
On the one hand, he believed that this kind of change may not be completely a disadvantage; on the other hand, he said that in the end, it will turn into such a terrifying monster.
Who would like to become such a monster who has lost her sense of self, lost her wisdom, and only knows how to eat?!
Professor Huang seemed to ignore the doubts of the people and said to himself: "Okay, I know what everyone is doubting... Its scales are very thick, even comparable to our most sturdy alloy armor, so ordinary rifle bullets have very limited damage, and even the attack of the rocket launcher can only blow up one area."
"This is very good research material, right?"
"The most important thing is that the central hexagonal crystal core seems to have a certain supernatural power, which can allow the monster to have regeneration ability and assimilate the heartbeat of others. But it is obvious that this core has been destroyed by the rune knife... This is a very good energy. If the monster's core is used, it can produce ultra-efficient batteries, which are similar to our nuclear batteries."
"Old Huang, what do you want to say?" Ding Yuan asked with a little dissatisfaction, "Tell me the conclusion directly! Why do you think this kind of change is not necessarily a complete disadvantage?"
"My idea is that this is a brand new way of biotechnology. Think about it, from a scientific perspective, this mutation perfectly solves the problem of rejection of different organs, and solves the regeneration of limbs to a certain extent, allowing disabled people to regenerate and even obtain a higher life span... In the past, we could only accomplish these things with some rare tricks."
"Even, this is a brand new superpower improvement system!"
"Mutation can bring more powerful force and stronger body. As long as we find ways to control the degree of change and maintain the human state, isn't this a new system?"
"This method was not something I thought of out of thin air, but the wisdom and civilization here, and the small amount of records in the information!"
Hearing this, many people were stunned.
Professor Huang became more and more excited: "They persisted in this heavy fog for four or five years... Under constant battles, they found a new superpower system. They used the x elements in the white fog to strengthen their bodies. If there was no mutation, they could strengthen them as long as they ate more food. Can everyone accept it?"
Eat more food and you will become stronger, and you will definitely accept it! It is so acceptable that you don’t have to think about it!
"...Of course, in the later stage, as more and more monsters of this type are becoming stronger and stronger, they have to escape from the Yang River. But this civilized human being is definitely smart and rational, and they have explored many new ways..."
"I am not talking nonsense about some of the information I found, but we have not found more information about [Biquge520 www.biquge520.xyz]."
Hearing this, Lu Yiming also clenched his fists.
New ways to promote superpowers!!
This news...is exciting!
If the matter is true, then the information left over from this continent is too precious.
It is so precious that no matter what the price you pay, you have to get it.
Professor Huang took a deep breath: "Of course, our current translation materials have not been completely completed. What is the new research system and the success rate, remains to be examined. In short, I think that when we come to this continent, we cannot simply give up! We need to obtain more research materials!"
"It is likely that the second exploration mission will even be restarted."
Everyone discussed it enthusiastically. If it was just some wood or machines, then it was indeed unnecessary to let the soldiers risk their lives to obtain it, but what if it meant the future of the Yunhai?
If what Lao Huang said is true, the second exploration... is indeed necessary!
"Then... wait for the complete text deciphering plan first."
After the meeting, Lu Yiming found Lao Huang via video call, "Professor Huang, what you just said is true? Can the creatures after the mutation still maintain human self-awareness? Is the more than 300 unconscious people still help?"
A biologist next to Professor Huang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Captain Lu, according to the research experiment of the guinea pig, the principle of the white mist is as follows: it will cause severe desire for gluttony and speed up the body's absorption of food."
"Where has the energy absorbed gone? Part of it is stored as fat, and the other part is converted into special crystals inside the body. It is actually a high-energy reserve substance."
"So far, these crystals will have adverse effects on the mental state of life, but these crystalline substances will also strengthen human physique. In essence, it... may be neutral and a product of human evolution. It's just that the evolution is too fast and too violent, which leads to mutation."
Lu Yiming frowned and understood almost halfway: "What will happen if evolution succeeds?"
"For example, those unconscious people nowadays, although they gained a lot of weight, their physical fitness has been much stronger. You used to be out of breath after running a thousand meters, but now you can run two or three thousand meters in one breath. The bench press was 100 kilograms, but now you can eat two or three thousand kilograms. Isn't this an evolution?"
"Of course, the x element will have an impact on the human mental state. Once you eat, you will not be able to stop. This is also the most troublesome point. In the end, the body really cannot reserve so much energy, so it will simply spit out the core of the energy and the heart. The specific mechanism remains to be studied..."
"If we find a way to only retain the favorable side and remove the adverse factors, it is equivalent to a way to improve our comprehensive quality! Not to mention superpowers, at least, everyone's physical fitness can be greatly strengthened! If each of our physical fitness is enhanced, we can survive more securely in the Yanghe River."
Lu Yiming said again: "Where are those precious research materials? We can't find them by such a coincidence, right?"
Professor Huang smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "Yes, these news only record a few words in a certain book. The real research data has not been found. We are still guessing what happened, but this idea is almost the same..."
"Oh, every civilization that escaped into the Yang River is not a good person. In despair, a large number of amazing people will inevitably be born, and even a certain degree of supernatural power has been developed. Whether it is the parallel civilization recorded in the notebook, the ancient civilization represented by ancient sailboats, or the civilization of the Baiwu Continent, they all have mastered some superpowers..."
"A civilization like ours can only live by picking up garbage. Who has caused the physical disaster to break out in our world... Of course, there are benefits and disadvantages. We are well prepared. According to the current information, other civilizations do not retain so many of our populations, nor do we have as many thermal weapons as we do."
The Earthlings faced a physical disaster. They built ships and fled from the beginning, and they really couldn't draw some supernatural power from it.
However, it is a good thing to preserve enough population, both in terms of research ability and thermal weapons. Although Yunhai only has a population of less than 160,000, similar refuges can be preserved in more than 20 million people across the country, not to mention that there are indeed many around the world.
It’s just that because of Yanghe’s random transmission mechanism, these shelters cannot meet for the time being.
After discussing these, Lu Yiming remembered another thing and asked again: "If we want to explore this continent for the second time, rune swords are a necessary weapon, and it is inconvenient to carry a large number of heavy weapons, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as rune swords. How should we deal with the rune sword production capacity?"
"Also, what about the manpower of the second expedition team? How should that laboratory be reached if it was thousands of kilometers away from the mainland? Can it be hiked with such a large amount of fog and helicopters?"
To be honest, Lu Yiming didn't want to go from the bottom of his heart... He had seen the terrifying combat power of those monsters, and this was not a problem that could be solved by the number of people but few people.
He... is also afraid of death.
Not only him, but also Liu Xuwei and Zhong Peng, were also afraid of death.
Professor Huang shook his head: "The rune knife is still far from improving production capacity. You can only work harder. You can make just a few moves, hey."
"As for exploring manpower...oh, let's consider it again."
"If the relevant laboratory really goes deep into the mainland for thousands of kilometers... maybe we can only give up. I hope it is a little closer to the coastline, the better the closer it is."
Lao Huang sighed in his heart, and he also knew that it was no longer the era when he talked about dedication and sacrifice.
Although the people in Yunhai are more able to endure hardships after experiencing the doomsday disaster, everyone has experienced the baptism of the Internet information age and there are actually very few people who are truly willing to contribute to themselves...
Few people are willing to do a task with a mortality rate of up to 90%, or even 99%.
...
Time passes slowly, and the translation work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The study of the anatomy of monster corpses is also being carried out in an orderly manner... The strange nature of the x element is enough for biologists to study for a long time.
In a blink of an eye, it was the second week since the expedition team withdrew from the base camp. The white mist had not dissipated, and the Yunhai had been maintaining a high alert state. Lu Yiming was busy making rune knifes. Using the penetration of the rune knife, he could really stab the monster's core in seconds to kill it, so if you can prepare well, you must be as full as possible.
For ordinary people, life is similar to usual. Except for the fact that military control has not been lifted, everything else is like the past, and it should be like what it should be...at most of the time, I just have to go to the deck reduced.
They also heard about the accidents that occurred in the first expedition team, and were very concerned about the more than 300 unfortunate people when they could truly recover.
Guo Weiqiang is the first survivor to wake up from a coma.
He opened his eyes a little blankly, and the sunlight by the window shone in, warm.
My head is still a little confused, groggy, and I can't remember anything.
"Well... so hungry! Why are you so hungry! You want to eat!"
But he soon found that his arms were thicker, looked at the fat on his stomach, and then touched his fat face, and couldn't help but feel sad...
"Who the hell is this?! I can't have traveled to a fat man in time!"
To be continued...
