After taking away the energy core, Fang Qingdai thought for a moment and left behind more than ten energy stones.
The energy of an energy stone is not as surging as that of an energy core, enough to nurture a new small ecosystem, but the organisms that have already been nurtured can survive by relying on the energy of the energy stone.
After finishing all that, Fang Qingdai rushed back to the base without stopping.
She handed over all the data she had brought back from the Xuanwu base to Elder Li, then picked out the instruction manual for the black hole photon, as well as the detailed structural diagram she had drawn herself using her mental energy.
"Mr. Li, I need you to come with me to the wasteland to refer to the detailed diagram and operating instructions of Black Hole Photon 3 and help me shut down Black Hole Photon 6."
If we can't shut it down, we should at least try to control it.
With the foundation laid by the previous generation, it shouldn't be that difficult.
After studying the detailed diagrams and operating instructions twice, Old Li slowly spoke: "Machine updates usually involve updating the kernel, and there won't be any major changes in operation. Even if there are changes, we can find the patterns from previous generations of products, so shutting down that Black Hole Photon 6 is not difficult."
Fang Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to accompany me, Mr. Li!"
Old Li was also very curious about Black Hole Photon 6. He quickly handed over his work and pushed his wheelchair to go with Fang Qingdai.
"After you shut down that machine, could you bring it back so I can take a look at it?"
Fang Qingdai hesitated.
Noticing her hesitation, Old Li asked with suspicion, "Do you have any other plans?"
Fang Qingdai then described the situation at the bottom of the pit.
"I want to move that Black Hole Photon 6 to the highly polluted area so that it can continue to create energy storms there. This way, the Xuanwu Base will definitely not be able to enter for exploration in a short period of time, and the pit can be preserved for a while."
Given enough time, Fang Qingdai will always have a chance to find a way to achieve the best of both worlds.
Old Li frowned: "Didn't you say there's an energy core inside Black Hole Photon 6? Aren't you going to take it?"
If the core is removed, the Black Hole Photon 6 will no longer be able to operate.
“If we don’t take it, the item comes from the Xuanwu Base. What if they manage to get close to the core of the energy storm, shut down the machine, and take the core? In that case, the bottom of that pit won’t be safe either.”
Fang Qingdai offered her guess: "They probably don't have the ability."
"If they had the ability to get into the eye of the storm, they wouldn't have let Black Hole Photon 6 wreak havoc in the wasteland for so long, even if it was for the sake of that core."
"Furthermore, if they had the ability to extract the core from the black hole photon, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to explore the highly polluted area near the Xuanwu No. 4 base."
The highly polluted area was located within the Xuanwu base's territory, and they didn't need to take too much risk by rushing the exploration before they had absolute certainty.
According to the information Fang Qingdai overheard, it was probably because Black Hole Photon 6 was destroyed that Li Weidong wanted to explore that highly polluted area ahead of schedule in order to reconnect the energy supply chain.
Upon hearing this, Old Li nodded: "That's fine."
"Okay, you can move the machine over there. It will need to be restarted. I'll do some research during the transfer. Hmm... Can I take on a few students? Time is tight, and I'm afraid I can't handle it all by myself."
Fang Qingdai immediately nodded: "Of course!"
She is very supportive of scientific research development as long as conditions permit, since it all paves the way for the development of the oasis!
She's also thinking of replicating Black Hole Photon 6 for her own use!
After discussing it, Professor Li immediately turned around, wheeled himself back to call for help, and soon returned with eight students dressed in white research coats.
The students, a mix of young and old, half ordinary and half gifted, were excited to hear that they could go on a mission with Fang Qingdai, specifically to investigate the recently much-discussed black hole Photon 6. They couldn't help but chatter amongst themselves, showing none of the composure expected of a researcher!
Before this group could calm down, another, even noisier group showed up!
"sister!"
"Base Commander, Base Commander!"
"Hello, Teacher Li, Hello, Teacher Wang, Hello, Teacher Zhao, Hello, Teacher Sun, Teacher Bai..."
Fang Qingdai raised her hand to her forehead: "Alright, alright, stop with the greetings. What are you doing here?"
Qingluan and her gang of little kids stared at Fang Qingdai expectantly: "Teacher Sun said he's going on a mission with you to study the Black Hole Photon 6 machine and to see the new little ecosystem that's growing in the wasteland!"
"We want to go too!"
Fang Qingdai felt a chill run down her spine and almost blurted out, "You're all dreaming!"
But now she carries the burden of being the base commander, so she has to speak politely and be patient.
So Fang Qingdai took a deep breath and patiently explained, "You said yourself that we are going on a mission, which is fraught with danger and is not suitable for you to participate in."
"You all stay here and study obediently. If there's a suitable opportunity later, I'll take you to see the ecosystem!"
The development of the ecosystem is of great significance to everyone in the wasteland, especially these flower buds.
But whether it's the eye of the storm or a highly polluted area, both are places with a high risk factor. These children haven't activated their superpowers yet, nor do they have enough rational judgment. Fang Qingdai really didn't dare to take them there.
The group of little brats all hung their heads in disappointment, and even Qingluan didn't try to pester them because of her status.
Just as Fang Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard Jing Yi's voice behind her: "Take them with you. Select the top ten students in the class in terms of overall academic ranking and let them see the outside world."
Fang Qingdai turned to look at him, her eyes full of disapproval.
"Master!" Tan Jie's eyes lit up when he saw Jing Yi and heard him speak up for the children.
Jing Yi had no expression, but the way he gently patted Tan Jie's head revealed his gentleness, which surprised Fang Qingdai.
This guy is becoming more and more humane.
Jing Yi looked at Fang Qingdai and explained gently, "Children of the wasteland must be able to withstand the storms of life; overprotection will prevent them from growing up."
"With you here, whether it's the eye of the storm or the bottom of that pit, there shouldn't be much of a problem. If things get out of control, just release them and put them in a safe place."
Some researchers whispered their support for the children: "The creation of the ecosystem is a historic milestone, and it would be a real shame if these children missed it."
Fang Qingdai glanced at the researcher who had spoken: "You must be that Professor Zhao, right?"
The researcher surnamed Zhao scratched his head sheepishly.
He was so shocked by the news of the ecosystem that he couldn't help but tell his students about this historically significant event when he left the classroom.
Who knew these kids would be so audacious as to chase after us!
