Chapter 375 Qin Nian’s Birthday
After receiving Antonio's reply, Lu Weiyi was about to put away his collection when Antonioni reached out his hand and said that he wanted to see the video of his little lover playing happily. Lu Weiyi threw the phone to him and followed Lu Xi forward.
"This is also an accident for us." Although Lu Xi said this, there was an expression of surprise on his face as if he had made a great discovery.
"Before, I always thought that fire and ice were the two strongest combat energies, so the converters have always been studied in these two areas. However, Professor Zhong reminded me that there is also a lightning system. If there is such a converter, perhaps it is possible to directly shoot out lightning."
He described the scene and immediately aroused Lu Weiyi's interest.
"Then during the production process, we discovered a way to convert crystal core energy into electrical energy!" Lu Xi said excitedly, "The energy contained in a C-grade crystal core is enough to supply a family with electricity for a month after conversion. The energy contained in a B-grade crystal core is even higher, equivalent to four to five times that of a C-grade crystal core, and it will be even more if it goes up. What do you think, if we can make use of the crystal core energy..."
"We have developed a new energy source." He was just discussing electricity solutions with Lu Weiyi, but he didn't expect that Lu Xi had made progress in the blink of an eye. "Science and technology are the primary productive forces, the ancients were right."
"This is just an idea. There are still some problems in conversion. It's not easy to realize it in a short period of time." Zhong Qi saw that Lu Xi's words attracted the attention of the two people. He was worried that he would exaggerate and give the other party a simple illusion, so he set a time limit and hurriedly added.
"The process of developing a new type of energy and putting it into use naturally takes time. You can conduct further research in this direction," said Zhuang Mingxu.
"Brother, do you have A-grade or S-grade crystal cores? Can you let me test the energy contained in them? The highest grade crystal core we have here is only B-grade. I want to know how much energy that level contains." Lu Xi pulled Lu Weiyi's arm and acted coquettishly with a hopeful look on her face.
"I'll give you an A-grade one to play with, but you can only look at the S-grade one." Lu Weiyi took out an A-grade water crystal core and an S-grade earth crystal core from the space and handed them to him.
"You encountered another S-level zombie?" Zhuang Mingxu had never heard that he had an S-level earth crystal core.
"Well, I encountered a few this time when I went out. I think SS-level zombies are not far away." Lu Weiyi's expression became more serious. Perhaps after this winter, more SS-level zombies will appear in the spring, and then there will be another bloody storm.
The pace of human superpowers cannot stop at all.
Lu Xi happily took the interested researchers to the instrument room for testing. Zhuang Mingxu followed them. Lu Weiyi listened to Antonio's words about the situation in the laboratory.
"Our brains are very quick at research, but the actual situation at our base cannot support production," Antonio commented matter-of-factly, followed by a sneer, "Some people are dissatisfied and complain that our conditions are not as good as those at the Kyoto base, and that keeping them here would be a waste of talent."
"It seems that I am still too idle," Lu Weiyi concluded.
"Yes," Antonio gave a thumbs up.
"Then let's arrange some other things." Lu Weiyi decided to go back and mention it to Zhuang Mingxu again. After all, the base needs research results, but it doesn't say that every item has to be put into production.
Antonio asked a few questions about the situation of the zombies outside, and after Zhuang Mingxu came out, he followed them back to the central island.
That night, Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu had a detailed discussion about what happened on both sides. Of course, they also learned that Zhang Lin, the arrogant deputy captain of the Junlin team, was parasitized by the parasitic plant in Gu Qingji's hands. After being secretly tried by the base, a base meeting was held and he was executed in public. Half of all the supplies in the Junlin team were confiscated, and the other half was compensated to the families of the victims of the psychic.
"I didn't know Gu Qingji had such a dangerous thing in his hand. It looks similar to the mutant plant that Li Qing and the others were parasitized by."
After the incident, they were far away from Beidao, and the police had already arrived when they arrived. Gu Qingji had severe internal bleeding, and the hospital performed an open cavity drainage. Dean also spent a lot of effort to save him.
Afterwards, Zhuang Mingxu also focused his attention on the interrogation of Zhang Lin. Moreover, Gu Qingji did not tell him about this kind of killer-like thing, and it was not convenient for him to inquire about it, but it did not prevent him from being alert.
"That's what Li Qing and the others were parasitized by back then." Lu Weiyi was not surprised at all. It was obvious from the look on his face that he had known about it. "It's just a very low-level mutant plant. It won't upgrade and has no combat power."
"Gu Qingji's skills were the worst at the time, and as a wood-type, his combat power was not as good as other abilities. He also wanted to go out with me, so I left some for him to use to save his life."
"Gu Qingji knows the dangers of this thing and has never taken it out before. This time he must have been forced into a desperate situation."
As the captain, knowing about this is different from hiding it secretly. After listening to it, Zhuang Mingxu nodded and reminded, "This thing is very dangerous. When you are free, you should ask him to pay attention to it and don't hurt anyone by mistake."
Lu Weiyi agreed and told him what happened outside the base. He knew that after they eliminated hundreds of members of the Tiger Team, they also planted a nail inside. Zhuang Mingxu was delighted to hear this.
"You guys are really amazing. I'll ask someone in a few days to see if they have returned alive. Who knows, maybe they can be a big help to us someday."
"I originally thought that the Tiger Team would send people to investigate, and I wanted to avoid any conflict near the base, so I stayed outside for another half a month. I didn't expect that there was no movement at all," said Lu Weiyi.
"They can't take care of it," Zhuang Mingxu said, "No one has been back for a few days, and the leader of the Pingjin base got the news. The Menghu team has been rather arrogant in the Pingjin base, and then they were suppressed by other forces and lost hundreds of mid- and high-level psychics. He was busy gaining a foothold, so he had no time to spare to deal with you."
"But during the cold season, they might be more likely to attack us." Although Zhuang Mingxu said this, there was no fear on his face, and he even had a hint of excitement.
Lu Weiyi ignored his bad taste, chatted for a while, and went to bed early.
Zhuang Mingxu went to find Yin Jin, and came back to inform his teammates living on the island that a father and son would soon be living on the island, and asked Xi Shi to help provide some household necessities for the two of them.
Lu Weiyi was still curious about how the person he had just suspected could let them out so easily, but the next day he saw Qin Nian wearing a metal collar around his neck.
Even though he knew that Zhuang Mingxu was guarding against Yin Jin, looking at the thing on Yuewawa's neck still made him feel it was cruel.
"It's my own choice," Yin Jin said calmly.
He took out a micro controller from his pocket and handed it to Lu Weiyi, "This is Nian Nian's controller. Deputy Base Commander Zhuang said that I can choose one person in the team to keep it. I don't feel comfortable leaving it in the hands of others. Can you take it?"
Perhaps it was because he knew that this person had rescued him from the laboratory, or perhaps it was because he saw that he insisted on injecting Qin Nian with psychic powers for several months even though he was not feeling well, or perhaps this was one of the few people who made him feel that he had no desire to explore or be on guard against him.
The first person that Yin Jin thought of when Zhuang Mingxu spoke was Lu Weiyi.
He knew clearly that if Lu Weiyi hadn't mentioned it, he might have to live in a sunlight-free laboratory with his child for the rest of his life.
Handing the controller that determines the child's life and death to Lu Weiyi was also a silent expression of gratitude and surrender, meaning that even for his son, he would not do anything that would harm the base.
Lu Weiyi looked at Qin Nian who was lying on the bed. Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao came up to him and talked to him curiously. They were all children, but the contrast was so strong that it made people feel even more unbearable.
"He said that as long as we don't do anything that would damage the base or leave the base rashly, nothing will happen to the child, right?" Even though Yin Jin's tone didn't fluctuate at all, one could still feel his unwillingness and helplessness at the moment.
Lu Weiyi nodded, put the controller into the space, took out a cake that had been packed before the end of the world and handed it to him - this was one of the few ready-made foods he had left this year.
He couldn't say happy birthday.
Yin Jin took it and said thank you with a smile.
The room that was empty yesterday had its doors and windows built in just half a day.
Xi Shi has a good personality, and more than a year's journey into the apocalypse has not changed him much. He was a little reserved at the beginning when the team got along with each other, but now that they are familiar with each other, he has become an elder.
He had no guard against Yin Jin who came to stay with him, and he even asked Dean, who had nothing to do, to help him decorate the room. In just one morning, the empty room was already in good shape, with all the furniture and daily necessities missing - of course, this certainly had to be done with Zhuang Mingxu's tacit approval, and he tried his best to be tolerant of this little life within his tolerance.
It was the first time after the apocalypse that a newborn baby appeared, and Qin Nian successfully attracted the attention of the entire only team. When it was almost noon, everyone gathered together and took the opportunity to celebrate his birthday while watching the baby. They earned a lot of lucky crystal cores and got to know Yin Jin by the way.
After spending a full month with Qin Nian with a few friends, both young and old, Xi Shi became familiar with Yin Jin. After making sure that Yin Jin was out of control in the base, he took him to stock up food for the winter the next day.
The base was bustling with activity. After all the teams returned, they began to prepare for winter.
The grain from the plantation began to be harvested and stored in large quantities. Various mechanical sounds were humming, threshers were raising dust, and cotton pulping machines were roaring. The entire base was in a bustling atmosphere, and Zhao Changming also passed on the news that the rocket launcher could enter the test stage.
"Are they so fast?" Ning Yuan was driving a medium-sized fishing boat, pretending to be about to go out to sea, but in fact he was picking up Zhao Changming and several others to go to the heart of the sea to test the crystal core rocket launcher.
