Upon returning to the base, Fang Qingdai immediately entered the spatial dimension.

"Wutongmu, how are the energy stones you planted coming along?"

Fang Qingdai extracted the more than two hundred kilograms of energy stones into energy liquid and distributed it to all the ability users in the base.

After using the energy fluid, the overall strength of the ability users at the Oasis Base was greatly enhanced.

It significantly improved by two to three levels, and even average players could improve by one to two levels.

Only someone with a particularly high level of superpowers like Jing Yi would not experience any breakthrough after taking the energy liquid once.

Currently, the Oasis Base has a total of 686 superhumans, with none below level three. There are 220 level three superhumans and 249 level four superhumans.

There are as many as 121 Level 5 ability users, and Level 6 users surpass all other bases, reaching 94!

There are also Fang Qingdai and Jing Yi, both of whom are above level seven. Their overall strength is definitely among the top in the major bases.

But that's without including artificially created superhumans.

The three bases are now abusing superpower transplantation technology, and nobody knows exactly how many superpowered individuals they have created.

Moreover, artificially created superhumans will all possess at least two superhuman abilities. With the combined effects of these abilities, even at level 30, they can unleash the destructive power of a level 5 or 6 superhuman.

Therefore, the Oasis Base remains at the very bottom of the power structure.

Now, with the threat of nuclear weapons looming over her, Fang Qingdai desperately wanted to boost the base's overall strength once again.

Wutongmu quickly responded: "A small energy mine has been formed, and it is estimated that it can produce about 300 catties of ore."

Fang Qingdai was somewhat disappointed: "Is that all?"

The paulownia tree instantly flew into a rage: "You still dare to talk back? You gave me those two hundred-plus kilograms of grains you dug up a few days ago, how kind of you! You won't even give me the seeds, how am I supposed to grow a large-scale mine pit!"

"And you didn't even think to give me a share of the energy liquid!"

Fang Qingdai touched her nose guiltily.

The main issue is that the energy stones we obtained from the front lines last time were all given to Wutongmu, so it's really inappropriate to keep these for ourselves this time.

The paulownia tree needs energy, and so do the people in the base.

No one knew anything about the paulownia tree, and Fang Qingdai had no intention of revealing any information about it. Therefore, the portion given to the paulownia tree was all kept by Fang Qingdai in her own name.

Currently, only a few people in the base know that Fang Qingdai embezzled a batch of energy stones at the front line, and those few are all Fang Qingdai's confidants, so they would not gossip.

But if we do that every time, what if everyone finds out?

Fang Qingdai herself righteously declared that she would be fair and just, but she repeatedly embezzled funds. What authority will she have left in the future?

Fang Qingdai tried to explain patiently for a long time, but Wutongmu remained sullen.

"Then go find me more energy stones. The more energy gathered, the greater the energy produced, and the less power I need to use to help the mine take shape."

"I've been using all my energy on mining lately, and I've even stopped spatial materialization!"

Fang Qingdai then realized that she hadn't heard any reports from her teammates about any abnormalities in the surrounding land for quite some time.

That won't do!

The faster the space materializes, the sooner the wasteland will regain its vitality; this work cannot be delayed.

Fang Qingdai gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll go find you an energy stone right now!"

As soon as Fang Qingdai left the space, she went directly to find Elder Li and asked him about the circumstances under which he first found the energy stone.

Mr. Li explained in detail: "It was found in a highly polluted area. I have studied it and the energy stone should be a substance from some kind of extraterrestrial meteorite. Moreover, it is not an ordinary meteorite. Only a meteorite that carries pollutants can carry that kind of energy stone."

"Therefore, I believe that we should search in areas with high levels of pollution caused by meteorites, where the probability of finding energy stones is higher."

However, the pollution isolation equipment on the wasteland can only isolate pollution sources of around level six at most, while the pollution level of highly polluted areas caused by meteorites is generally level eight or above!

No wonder the three bases had so few energy stones; they were even willing to fight each other for just over a hundred kilograms of energy stones!

However, the energy contained in the energy stone was indeed exceptionally high. When Fang Qingdai's two hundred-plus kilograms were evenly distributed among more than six hundred people, it raised the overall strength of all six hundred people by one or two levels.

What if over 200 kilograms of energy stones were used on one person?

The top officials of the three bases are all selfish, and Fang Qingdai doesn't believe they will distribute the resources equally.

The energy stones they searched for, risking countless lives, would ultimately end up in the pockets of only a few!

After bidding farewell to Elder Li, Fang Qingdai immediately went to find Jing Yi.

"The Qinglong Base will send people to visit our satellite launch experiment. The experiment will take place the day after tomorrow. I need to obtain detailed satellite maps as soon as possible."

Fang Qingdai recounted Li Lao's speculation to Jing Yi.

"If Elder Li's judgment is correct, the Xuanwu Base must have used satellite maps to determine that there was a meteorite crater in the highly polluted area behind our base, and after confirming that the source of the pollution was a meteorite, they sent people to explore it."

“We can explore highly polluted areas more easily than they can. We only need to identify which polluted areas contain sinkholes to conduct direct searches.”

Jing Yi nodded to indicate that he understood: "I will pass on the instructions."

He was somewhat puzzled: "If what you said is true, the map released by the Qinglong Base is not high-precision enough to determine whether there are sinkholes in each polluted area. In fact, because few people have ventured into the polluted areas, the map provided by the Qinglong Base only roughly marks the polluted areas."

"So, the fact that the Xuanwu base could accurately know about the sinkholes in the highly polluted area behind us means that they have actually launched satellites and created their own high-precision maps?"

Fang Qingdai's heart sank: "It's very likely."

Jing Yi pondered for a few seconds and comforted him, "It's alright. Many polluted areas, especially those highly polluted by meteorites, have disordered magnetic fields, which greatly interferes with satellite detection. This is a problem they can't overcome either."

"We only need to confirm whether there is a similar sinkhole shape, which is much easier. If you are unsure, you can directly manipulate space to enter, which is much easier than that."

Just like the Immortal Burial Oasis, satellites cannot monitor the specific internal environment, but Fang Qingdai took over the oasis with relatively little difficulty by utilizing space.

The advantage of the Oasis Base lies in Fang Qingdai's magical space.

Fang Qingdai could only console herself that with the space around, she would have the confidence to compete with other bases for energy stones.

Now we just have to wait and see if the satellite can be launched successfully.

As long as the satellite can be launched successfully, they will be able to locate major polluted areas through high-precision maps and seize resources!

She refused to believe that relying solely on energy stones would be inferior to the artificial superhuman army of other bases!
