"It's done?"
Fang Qingdai scanned it several times with her mental power and waited for more than ten minutes to confirm that Black Hole Photon 6 had really stopped operating before she put the machine into her space!
The researchers had already put on their protective gear before Fang Qingdai opened the passage between the two barrier spaces to let everyone pass through and begin their research.
"Find the location of the energy stone core and check how much energy is left in it."
Leaving the work to the researchers, Fang Qingdai then manipulated the space to head towards the highly polluted area near the Xuanwu No. 4 base.
After returning to the highly polluted area, she overheard the Xuanwu personnel guarding the perimeter discussing something. Fang Qingdai immediately stopped and eavesdropped.
"When will the base start exploring this area? We've been guarding it for two months now, just sitting here all day doing nothing, it's so boring!"
"It'll be soon. I heard from my friend that if the base wants to advance the research and development of Black Hole Photon 7, it must find a new energy stone core as soon as possible."
"But I feel that exploring this area is no less risky than trying to enter the eye of the storm. This area may not even have an energy stone core, so it's better to go back and try to enter the eye of the storm..."
Fang Qingdai smiled upon hearing this.
Forget about the energy stone core at the eye of the storm; she's already taken the core of this area.
I wonder if Li Weidong will be furious when he finds out?
Just imagining Li Weidong making her so angry that she almost got hurt made Fang Qingdai feel incredibly happy.
She continued on her way, and after entering a highly polluted area, she deliberately slowed down and began to explain the situation outside to the children.
To Fang Qingdai's delight, the children were all well-behaved, listening attentively to her story and raising their hands to ask questions when they had any.
Children raised in the wasteland cherish learning opportunities, and the environment doesn't allow them to act recklessly, so they are all exceptionally sensible and precocious.
As they reached the edge of the pit, the children visibly became excited.
"Base Chief, Base Chief, is this the place where the new ecosystem you mentioned is formed?"
"What's in the food chain? Is it just plants and mice? Have those mice mutated?"
Will other animals be conceived in the future?
Fang Qingdai took back what she had just said.
These kids are truly sensible when they're old enough, but once they start asking all sorts of questions, they become even more demanding than Tang Sanzang!
Fang Qingdai quickly replied, "We'll find out when we go down and take a look!"
Upon reaching the bottom of the pit, Fang Qingdai found that everything was exactly the same as when she left. The flowers and plants had not withered, and the nest of baby mice was also fine. Only then did Fang Qingdai breathe a sigh of relief.
She was worried that after she removed the energy core, the pollution-free environment below the pit would not be able to be maintained.
The situation appears to have stabilized, and those dozen or so energy stones should be enough to sustain us for quite some time.
Fang Qingdai led her team out of the space, gave each person a lighting device, and asked them to explore the bottom of the pit on their own first.
The researchers, who had been eagerly waiting, immediately went outside, grabbed their equipment, and began collecting soil on the left and pulling up two blades of grass on the right.
One researcher even picked up a small mouse between two fingers and asked Fang Qingdai, "Base Chief, may I take a mouse back for research?"
Fang Qingdai hesitated.
The new organisms are indeed of great research value, but it was really not easy for these mice to reproduce. Fang Qingdai did so much to protect them and give them the opportunity to continue to develop...
Seeing Fang Qingdai's hesitation, Old Li took the initiative to speak: "The gestation of new species is not easy. We will respect life and ensure that we do not harm its life!"
Fang Qingdai nodded, "Alright, then you can take them. Take good care of them; they were born in an unpolluted area and might not be able to withstand the external environment."
After the researchers happily agreed, they swarmed around the group, discussing which one they wanted to take home.
The children also joined the discussion with great interest.
Fang Qingdai shook her head helplessly, then turned to ask Elder Li, "How's the research on Black Hole Photon 6 going?"
Old Li withdrew his gaze: "The Black Hole Photon 6 has upgraded some parts and special materials that allow it to withstand the impact of energy circulation."
"In addition, it has an energy core as the driving energy source. Now that we have detailed blueprints, if we can find the same material, we can also make it."
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingdai was overjoyed. After carefully recalling the conversation she had overheard with the researchers at the Xuanwu Base, she hurriedly asked Elder Li, "Do you know what kind of material Alloy 86 is? I heard that the core material in this machine is Alloy 86."
Old Li thought for a moment and shook his head: "Before I was imprisoned by the Xuanwu Base, I had only heard of Alloy No. 84, which contained 30% meteorite-extracted metal. This Alloy No. 86 should be an upgraded material. The specific proportions need to be analyzed in detail using raw materials."
Fang Qingdai understood. She decisively led Elder Li into the space and asked him, "Which materials need to be taken away for analysis?"
Old Li asked in confusion, "Aren't you still useful? If you damage another part, you might not be able to function again."
Fang Qingdai waved her hand: "It's alright, just tell me, I have a way."
Old Li didn't ask any more questions. He took out a metal detector and checked each area, marking any parts whose readings he wasn't familiar with.
After he finished marking, Fang Qingdai sent him out of the space, while she stayed inside to begin "destruction".
She didn't even need to remove the parts; she simply used her mental power to cut off a portion and then used the rewind skill to rewind the entire piece.
After all this work, not only did they obtain the necessary materials, but they also managed to repair the Black Hole Photon 6 to a near-complete state!
Fang Qingdai then brought Old Li back in: "I've already sorted out the materials, and I'll give them to you later. Now, could you find a way to restart the machine?"
Fang Qingdai plans to place the machine in this highly polluted area. High pollution or energy storms are problems that Xuanwu Base may be able to deal with individually, but what if both exist?
Fang Qingdai is already finding it difficult to enter the space at her current level, and she doesn't believe that current technology can find a solution!
As long as the Xuanwu base's progress is temporarily halted, preventing them from launching Black Hole Photon 7 as soon as possible, their development will be hindered, and the area below the crater can develop peacefully for a period of time.
The time gained is enough for Oasis Base to do so much!
Old Li nodded: "Starting it is fine, but are you sure you don't want to extract some more energy from the core of this energy stone?"
Fang Qingdai was taken aback: "Extract energy?"
"Will the machine still function smoothly after the extraction?"
Will it not be unable to perform at its full potential like when the battery is low?
“We have done an assessment and found that this energy stone core can power the Black Hole Photon 6 for about ten years. Even if it is damaged now and has operational problems, and consumes more energy, it can still support it for three to five years.”
"How long do you need it to work? We can perhaps extract a portion, leaving enough energy to sustain you for the time you want."
