The onlookers sighed in disappointment. If it couldn't even hurt the skin of a rock, how could it possibly hurt the Zerg's hard shell?
Even the researchers were sweating with anxiety. They had tested it before, so why did it fail them now?
Fang Xiyue, who was closer, noticed something amiss. She took two steps forward and kicked the upper part of the stone, causing it to fall to the side.
The large rock was separated into upper and lower parts with a very clean cut. It hadn't separated earlier because Fang Xiyue's movements were too fast, and she hadn't been able to shift the large rock.
Those present breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, proving that the lightsaber had been successfully used.
With the success of the lightsaber, modifying other weapons will be much easier.
They didn't linger at the test site, but went into the conference room instead.
The next thing they'll discuss in their meeting is which weapons to improve first. After all, time is limited, and not all weapons can be prioritized.
"I think we should start by improving large machines, such as fighter jets."
"By equipping fighter jets with various laser cannons, we can wipe out the Zerg simply by flying the fighter jets."
"Adding laser cannons is fine, but have you considered the material of the fighter jet itself? What if the fighter jet is cut in half by the Zerg?"
Upgrading all the fighter jets together would be a huge undertaking, and we haven't found the most suitable materials yet.
We have been experimenting with the materials that Commander Fang and his team brought back, but it is not yet complete, and we are unsure if there are any suitable materials among them.
Alternatively, mixing several materials together might create the material we need; however, this requires extensive experimentation.
The research team leader looked worried; although they had a fair number of researchers, they were still quite few.
Everyone was working non-stop and basically had no time to rest. They didn't even go home on their weekly day off.
They were terrified that even a moment's delay would result in the sacrifice of many survivors.
"In that case, let's produce a batch of laser swords first, then a batch of laser guns and laser cannons, and finally improve the fighter jets when we have time."
First, equip everyone with laser swords and laser guns, and place a laser cannon at regular intervals throughout the city. Let's make the simplest preparations first.
In addition, we need to hurry up and encase all the buildings in the city with metal walls. They must be sturdy; in case the protective shields fail, everyone will be safe indoors.
Fang Xiyue raised a question, so we must start solving it immediately.
Using metal-based abilities to build metal walls on buildings is the simplest method. Now that everyone is a level 10 ability user, it can be completed in about a day.
But the key is whether it can withstand the Zerg's claws. In the past, the building was like cutting tofu for the Zerg, with no pressure at all.
"We will immediately gather metal-type ability users to conduct experiments and strive to complete the project before the Zerg arrive!"
The institute's director quickly added this task to the plan; they were really busy.
"If you need any help, be sure to tell everyone. Don't carry this burden alone. We are all one family, and helping each other is what we should do."
After the meeting, everyone dispersed to attend to their own business. Ye Zimo had just finished the meeting and was about to go back with Fang Xiyue when he was ruthlessly dragged away by the director of the research institute.
The research institute was very efficient; within three days, a large number of laser swords began to be distributed to the superhumans.
However, Fang Xiyue has been researching how to create a small spacecraft these past few days, and everyone has more and more things to carry. We can't have everyone carrying a super big bag during battle, can we?
That way, if you want to switch weapons, you might get wiped out by the Zerg before you even unzip your bag.
[Tongzi, do you have any small spacecraft?]
Actually, there are many items in the system store, but they are all grayed out.
For example, the lightsaber she wanted was actually available in the system store, but she couldn't buy it.
Fang Xiyue really wanted to know what conditions needed to be met to purchase these items, as she desperately needed them.
If we could buy them through the system, the research institute's pressure would be reduced. Of course, these things aren't cheap, and bulk purchases are impossible.
【Host, we do have them, but they're not cheap. Each storage ring contains 20 level-three crystal cores; we only accept level-three and above crystal cores.】
The system held up a ring and demonstrated it to Fang Xiyue. It could indeed store things, but the space was relatively small, only 20 square meters.
Although the area is not large, it is enough to store weapons, food, water, and a change of clothes.
Those at level three or above will have to wait until after the 19th, as the zombies in China have already been cleared out.
They can't kill all the zombies from the vassal states starting these days; they have to save them up. They also need to manage the zombies from the other five states.
However, Fang Xiyue has a concern: now that there are so many level 10 ability users, will the next zombie evolution result in a large number of level 10 zombies?
If it appears as a level 10 zombie, it won't be so easy to deal with.
So, the question is whether or not to continue killing zombies.
Currently, China, including its six affiliated countries, has a total of 350 million people with superpowers, which would require 7 billion level-three crystal cores, which is simply impossible.
If it's a level 10 crystal core, you won't need so many, only 700. So you still need to keep upgrading the zombies.
Let's take some of the zombies to the maze island and raise them, then we can clear out the rest.
Let's not wait until the 19th, lest they all turn into level 10 zombies, which would make it much harder for them to clean up.
The zombies from the other five countries are still around; if there aren't enough, we can just go kill them.
Fang Xiyue opened the device and sent a message directly to the management group of the six affiliated countries.
[All vassal states must begin killing zombies immediately; do not wait until the zombies escalate on the 19th.]
The message was sent out and received a reply quickly, and everyone immediately put it into action.
After sending the message, Fang Xiyue transferred 20 million zombies from Qingfeng Kingdom to the Maze Island.
Even if all of them were upgraded to level 10, Fang Xiyue could handle them.
As a level 12 superhuman, 20 million zombies would only take 48 hours to kill, which would be no problem at all.
On October 10th, Fang Xiyue held her wedding in this life. In her previous life, her wedding was held twice, but this time it was a complete wedding.
Fang Xiyue originally didn't plan to hold another wedding, since she had already done it in her previous life.
However, the husbands felt that they had not received everyone's blessings in this life, especially since their parents had no memory of their past lives.
They still want everyone's blessings and want people all over the world to know that they are husband and wife.
Seeing the expectant looks on the eight people's faces, Fang Xiyue finally nodded in agreement.
