Fang Qingdai, along with Xiao Nuo and her siblings and Aunt Lu, rushed to the hospital and handed the child over to Mao Ling for examination.
Mao Ling quickly checked her over and said confidently, "This child is activating her superpower. Qingdai, give her another dose of energy liquid to replenish her energy!"
Fang Qingdai immediately took out an energy liquid and also brought out the energy stone core, placing it next to Xiao Nuo's younger sister Xiao Yuan's pillow, hoping that the energy provided by the energy stone core could help Xiao Yuan successfully activate her superpower.
After watching over Xiaoyuan for two days, the drowsy child finally woke up, trembling slightly.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a room full of people. Xiao Yuan panicked and ran into Aunt Lu's arms, her mouth trembling as she started to cry.
As soon as she opened her mouth, water began to gush out from her body, soaking the hospital bed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone quickly withdrew, leaving space for Uncle Lu and his wife and Xiao Nuo to comfort them.
After leaving the ward, Fang Qingdai finally had time to ask Mao Ling: "Xiao Yuan accidentally drank the energy liquid given to Xiao Nuo, which is why her superpower was activated prematurely. I want to know if this premature activation will cause damage to her body?"
Unlike Qingluan, whose supernatural abilities were activated after being stimulated and whose willpower was so strong that it desperately wanted to gain power.
Xiao Yuan had consumed the energy liquid. Fortunately, she possessed the intelligent nest; otherwise, the energy contained in just a small sip of the energy liquid would have been enough to cause an ordinary child to explode and die!
She turned misfortune into good fortune, breaking through the intelligent nest, but she fears that the supernatural nest might be damaged if it were broken open by external forces.
Mao Ling shook her head: "No, I checked it, there's absolutely nothing wrong with her smart nest."
“She accidentally ingested the energy liquid, but the amount should be very small. The energy that entered her body triggered the energy nest, so the energy was successfully activated. I think that if we control the dosage, we can activate the superpowers of the children at the base in advance.”
Fang Qingdai looked up at Mao Ling: "Are you sure there won't be any danger?"
Mao Ling shook her head: "I can't guarantee it 100%. After all, even if the ability is activated naturally, there is a chance that the activation will fail and the energy nest will collapse. Artificial activation also faces the same risks."
Fang Qingdai hesitated.
The base is indeed in dire need of people with superpowers, but it doesn't need a bunch of kids to fill in.
Fang Qingdai was worried that forcing children to grow too quickly would harm their physical and mental health.
Seeing this, Mao Ling could only say, "I'm just making a suggestion. Whether or not to do it is up to you. If you decide to do it, we'll have all the children undergo a special ability nest test. Children with special ability nests can try to activate them if they are in good health."
At this point, Mao Ling's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, why don't we just give everyone in the base a check-up?"
"Some people reach a certain age but haven't activated their superpowers. That doesn't mean they don't have a superpower nest. Whether a superpower is activated smoothly or not mainly depends on the thickness of the individual's energy nest wall. Some people, without external stimulation, will never be able to open the wall of their superpower nest on their own. Now that we have energy fluid, we might be able to find some ordinary people who haven't been able to activate their superpowers on their own!"
Fang Qingdai's eyes lit up upon hearing this!
Yes, it's not appropriate to force children to grow too fast, and Fang Qingdai has no right to make decisions for them, but adults have their own judgment and can take responsibility for their choices.
If given the opportunity to activate superpowers, I believe everyone would be willing to accept it.
"Okay, I'll leave those things to you. Let's do a group check-up first. I can provide the energy fluid if needed."
The first batch of energy stones planted under the paulownia trees has already multiplied to a considerable number. Even if more than 30,000 ordinary people collectively need energy liquid, Fang Qingdai can still extract a batch.
Because activating superpowers requires only a small amount of energy fluid, just a small sip per person.
Moreover, only a minority of people have energy nests but are unable to activate them on their own, so they probably don't need much energy liquid.
But to Fang Qingdai's surprise, the data that Mao Ling presented three days later was so enormous!
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Twelve thousand three hundred and twenty-one people possess superpower nests?"
Mao Ling nodded seriously and said, "I was a little shocked at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I think I can understand it."
"The time from ordinary people to the emergence of superhumans was only a few years during the apocalypse. From an evolutionary perspective, this speed of evolution is unprecedented."
"With a unified living environment, a unified climate, and a unified experience of pollution and radiation, if human evolution occurs, it must be collective."
"Ordinary people who didn't have superpowers in previous generations may have children who have superpowers in the future. Superpowers should only become more and more common."
Those who are unable to become superhumans will eventually be eliminated by the times.
Fang Qingdai seemed to understand, then nodded: "Okay, I understand. I will send someone to talk to these more than 10,000 people. If everyone is willing, I will provide energy fluid to help them try to activate their superpowers. At that time, you will be responsible for leading the medical staff to provide full assistance and emergency care."
Mao Ling nodded in agreement and turned to prepare.
Fang Qingdai then got up and went to Jing Yi's office to tell him what had happened.
Jing Yi's eyes lit up slightly: "It's a good thing. The Oasis Base is in dire need of people with superpowers right now."
Fang Qingdai nodded, "It is indeed a timely help, but I came to see you because I had another problem in mind."
"Nearly half of the ordinary people in the base have the opportunity to become superhumans. Won't the other half feel resentful?"
These are turbulent times, and Fang Qingdai is genuinely worried that the remaining majority of ordinary people, having lost their composure, might cause further turmoil at this critical juncture.
Jing Yi frowned: "So you think that the other half of the people have their own energy nests, and we're just assisting in activating them, and there's even a chance of failure? What do the remaining ordinary people have to complain about?"
Fang Qingdai sighed.
That's the saying, but throughout history, the problem has never been scarcity, but rather inequality.
To help those people activate their superpowers, there will inevitably be a shift in resources.
They were in the same situation, so why did the other half get the precious energy liquid? Why did everyone else accept their fate as ordinary people, while the other half had the chance to defy fate?
The wastelanders' desire for superpowers is obvious to all.
The fear is that this dramatic change will cause people's hearts to become unbalanced.
After discussing it with Fang Qingdai for a long time, Jingyi came up with a solution.
"Let's activate the children's energy nests too. There's nothing we can do for the remaining ordinary people who don't have energy nests, but planting some hope in them should help stabilize everyone."
If I don't have it, maybe my child will?
As long as they stay safely at the Oasis Base, they will have no worries about food and clothing, live a peaceful life, and their children will receive a good education and assistance from the base, greatly increasing the likelihood that their offspring will activate superpowers.
People always care about inheritance and hope that the banner of inheritance can stabilize people's hearts.
