Ji Yongxing's research has reached a dead end.
Like countless predecessors, he wants to do too much, but can do too little.
It is easy to make a piece of armor for Wang Xiao, but it is difficult to make it close to perfection.
He did not want too many people to know about this, because he planned to secretly implant a part of his creation, [Sky Curtain], into the armor.
Ji Yongxing needs more information, information about this world.
And after experiencing the previous two incidents, there are very few people he can trust.
With his keen sense, he could already sense the control that the Council of Hope had over everything in the lives of humans in Hope City, and he didn't like the feeling of being manipulated.
But even if you want to escape, where can you go?
Ji Yongxing has no idea at the moment, but he feels that he should make more preparations even if they are unnecessary.
[Sky Curtain] is one of them.
He thought of the divine revelations he had experienced and the powerful force of that technology.
He hoped that his creations would one day be able to see through everything like the sun and the moon hanging high in the sky.
But first, there’s the issue of energy.
Because there has never been a team that successfully returned from the exploration program, after the program was restarted, the top management gave the first mission cycle of seven days.
With the current battery level, it is not enough to support Wang Xiao's armor to operate continuously for seven days, let alone join his monitoring system.
Moreover, the battery is large in size and heavy in weight, and it is a burden to carry it on your back.
We can't let Wang Xiao carry a generator with him, but if it's just a piece of armor without external power, then this design seems rather stupid...
Ji Yongxing could not tolerate the fact that in the 52nd year of the new era, he was still equipping the frontline personnel with cold weapons that were the same as those hundreds of years ago...
After thinking it over, he decided to ask his teacher.
In Zhou Zhuo's office, Ji Yongxing told his plan half-truthfully. Apart from consciously hiding the part about adding his own creation, he also gave a high-sounding reason for why he was so concerned about it.
Zhou Zhuo naturally had no doubts about such a legitimate statement. After understanding his student's question, he fell into deep thought, which was a rare occasion for him.
After a while, Zhou Zhuo looked at Ji Yongxing:
"There is someone who may be able to solve your problem."
"who?"
"Want to know? Sign this now."
A triumphant smile appeared on Zhou Zhuo's face. If Ji Yongxing didn't know that his teacher was an absolutely good person, he would have run away.
The deputy director opened the drawer in front of him and took out a stamped confidentiality agreement.
Ji Yongxing was not unfamiliar with this thing. After all, he used this thing to tell so many secrets to Lin Qingliu.
Watching the teacher quickly filling in information on the paper, Ji Yongxing felt that he was about to learn a big secret.
After coming to terms with it, this kind of formal confidentiality was no longer a shackle for him. The young researcher straightened his sitting posture, signed his name on the paper, and planned to listen carefully to what his teacher would say next.
"How much do you know about the Superpower First Team?"

Luke returned home after a busy day. If sleep was not a necessary condition for human survival, he would not want to waste even a second.
He actually understood that he couldn't be tense all the time, but it was difficult for him to do so when he was burning with rage for revenge.
As he inserted the key into the keyhole, Luke suddenly noticed a corner of the mailbox protruding from the edge of the door.
The community where his father lived was considered high-end residential area in Hope City. In the outer city, things like mailboxes were completely unimaginable.
Luke was about to reach out his hand when he suddenly thought of something. A lavender ball of light condensed and soon fell from the mailbox into his hands, wrapping the exquisite envelope.
The envelope was clean, and it looked like someone had come to deliver it specially.
Luke entered the house, changed his clothes briefly, opened the unsealed envelope and began to read its contents:
Little Luke:
It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder if you still remember us.
As your father's comrades-in-arms, we are very sad about what happened in the past two days.
For human beings, sacrifice is always inevitable, but no one wants to see their own people die at the hands of other humans, let alone that person is your father, a man with a strong heart.
In a couple of days, we old guys will have some free time, and we hope to have a meal with you then...】
The letter was not very long and the content was very simple. Luke originally did not want to go. After all, his father had quite a few old friends. If he visited them one by one, he might not be able to finish visiting them by the end of the year.
But the final signature changed his mind, because it clearly read - From the rest of the first team.
The first team?
Luke closed his eyes, and several vague figures emerged in his mind...

“Yongxing, most people know about the existence of the First Squad, but they don’t know much about its members.
"This is not surprising. Instead, it is the result of an intentional blockade. We want people to know that they are protected by powerful superpowers, but we cannot let them know about those superpowers in detail. You should understand what I mean.
“And the First Squad is the cornerstone of the entire City of Hope. They are the top superpowers, with abilities beyond the imagination of most people. They will never leave the inner city, and will always stick to their posts until they die.
"Except for the Holy Shield you know, the code names of the remaining four are: Strong City, Disaster Core, Ten Thousand Scrolls, and Starfall."
Ji Yongxing listened with great interest, feeling as if he were listening to a story on the radio, while Zhou Zhuo began to introduce the abilities of several superpowers like the back of his hand:
"You already know the ability of the Holy Shield. The ability of the Strong City is to slowly change the terrain structure to a certain extent. The underground space in the inner city was opened up by his ability, and his ability range is extremely wide. The complete underground city plan was put on the agenda two years ago.
"The Disaster Core can ignore certain rules and impart energy to objects. He is a huge energy storage device that maintains a stable power supply to important parts of the entire city and is also responsible for absorbing some energy that exceeds the capacity of the facility.
"You know, we have no way to explain this from a normal scientific perspective, and he should be able to solve the battery energy problem you are facing.
"Wanjuan, she has a photographic memory for everything, and can project the corresponding scenes and knowledge into other people's minds. She is a perfect carrier of knowledge. She saved a lot of information during the period when she first awakened. We often need her help to fill in some technical gaps now."
