Some news is better than no news; this was the phrase Lu Yuan used most often to comfort himself after receiving the news.
After returning to the ship and searching around, Lu Yuan finally found several life detectors that were somewhat damaged.
This life detector is a detection tool mainly used to detect whether there are signs of life activity under the soil and obstacles.
However, its ability to penetrate steel plates is somewhat weak.
However, now that they've found it, it's definitely a very useful piece of equipment for them.
After some simple repairs and adjustments, Lu Yuan finally managed to successfully fix the device.
Then Lu Yuan did a simple test.
The effect on the traditional capabilities of steel plates is only so-so.
However, if the other side has a large number of survivors, he can still detect a lot of life information.
By leaving these messages, you can better find Zhou Tong and the others.
Lu Yuan checked the time; it had been almost a month since he arrived.
It's uncertain whether Zhou Tong and his team can hold on for another month.
But Lu Yuan knew that if they dragged this out any longer, their chances would become increasingly slim.
Just as Lu Yuan was feeling somewhat helpless and worried, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps outside.
Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan exchanged a glance and then looked outside.
A soldier led a ragged survivor to them.
The soldier hurriedly walked up to them and immediately spoke.
"Boss, someone in the crowd just said that he was involved in the design of the entire Ark."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan's face showed a hint of surprise. He looked at the skinny, somewhat frail man.
"You participated in the design of the Ark?"
The man adjusted his glasses, one of which had lost a lens.
"That's right, I participated in the design of this ark, but I'm just a low-level designer, only responsible for some processing of the lowest deck!"
Upon hearing what the other person said, Lu Yuan was overjoyed.
“Great, we’re going to the lower deck now. By the way, do you know what changes were made to the original design of the lower deck?”
After thinking for a moment, the other person nodded.
"I remember some of it, but after several improvements, I can no longer recall exactly what they improved it on."
However, based on speculation, it should be possible to deduce it. Now I need to know the initial design blueprints of the Ark, because those things are very important to me!
Lu Yuan quickly pulled the other person to his mirror.
The first set of design drawings was laid out in front of him, which Chen Zhongzheng had given him before he left.
The survivor adjusted his glasses, then covered the unlensed one with one hand and looked at the map.
The design drawings are a dense tapestry of lines.
Lu Yuan could hardly understand it, but the experimenter was clearly an expert in this field.
After taking a careful look, he spotted the more important locations on the ground floor and circled them with his hand.
"From here to here, this is probably where Zhou Tong and the others are. I didn't participate in the design of this passage, but I know it too well."
If this design method is followed, the steel plates here are a full half meter thick, mainly to prevent water pressure from pouring down and to protect the important components inside.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan's face immediately showed a look of shock.
"What? You're saying the steel plates inside are half a meter thick? That's way too thick!"
The survivor smiled slightly.
"This is nothing. Half-meter-thick steel plates are actually used in armored vehicles and tanks, but they are not widely used in ships. After all, ships are so big that there are very few places where such thick steel plates can be used!"
Lu Yuan nodded immediately. He looked at the direction the other person was pointing and got a general idea of what was going on.
However, just to be on the safe side, he wanted to ask again if there were any other possible locations where Zhou Tong and his group might be.
"Is there anywhere else besides this place where one can survive?"
The survivor rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and then drew a few more circles on it.
"If they really want to survive in there, these locations are good hiding places, but compared to the place we just came from, they seem a bit lacking."
Furthermore, the area I just circled can be remotely controlled to operate the rudder, allowing you to control the direction of the boat's drift while it's freely floating!
Lu Yuan slapped his thigh and immediately made a decision.
"Great! Now that we have the life detector, let's not delay and go find Zhou Tong and the others!"
Then Lu Yuan and the other team members went into the room and dissected the entire ship. After some analysis, they made a decision.
Since it was located at the bottom of the ship, instead of passing through layers of cabins and encountering countless cannibals, they might as well cut a large opening in the bottom of the ship and enter from below.
After making the decision, Lu Yuan led the adults to the bottom of the ship that very evening.
The sun is a few degrees higher than before. Because the positions of Earth and Mars have reversed, the sun's altitude here seems to be even higher than before.
However, the brightness and intensity of the sunlight are not as great as they used to be on Earth, and the warmth brought by the sunlight is not as comforting as before; there is always a hint of chill in it.
Lu Yuan's boat, carrying a dozen or so team members and life detectors, arrived at the location they had planned beforehand and began to conduct the search.
Before arriving, Lu Yuan had already used a life detector to detect the cannibals.
After detection, they learned that the body temperature of these cannibals was already ice-cold and their hearts were not beating, so no fluctuations were detected by the detector.
The human body is different. As long as there is a slightly warm heartbeat, the detector can detect the signal and then send it to the screen.
The search was conducted almost inch by inch, and the process was extremely slow.
After searching for several hours, we finally got some news.
One of the team members was holding a detector and slowly moving his eyes forward.
My eyes were starting to ache from staring at that palm-sized screen.
He rubbed his eyes, and this time when he moved the detector forward a little, he suddenly heard a beeping sound coming from the detector.
