"What's missing?" Mou Xuan turned around, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"How should I put it... I just feel like there's a lack of theoretical support." Scientist Kong scratched his head, "It's like building a building. We've laid a good foundation and built the framework, but I always feel like there's a lack of detailed instructions on the drawings. I'm not sure about it!"
Mou Xuan's eyes lit up; Scientist Kong's words enlightened him.
The research and development of new defensive equipment is indeed progressing rapidly, but because of this, many theoretical studies have been put on hold and people have been busy with their work.
This is like cooking with a recipe. You only know the steps but not the principles. The dish you make will always taste a little off.
"Old Kong, you are absolutely right!" Mou Xuan slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "We have to go to the Doomsday Science and Technology Information Museum to find relevant theoretical materials!"
The Doomsday Science and Technology Archives is the largest science and technology library before the end of the world. It houses a vast amount of scientific and technological literature and information, and is a holy place in the hearts of countless scientific researchers.
Although the archive was severely damaged after the apocalypse, it is said that it still retains a lot of valuable information.
This proposal was immediately agreed by everyone.
Chen Yao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Mou Xuan with admiration: "Brother Xuan, I knew you had a way!"
Mou Xuan immediately arranged for people to prepare vehicles and supplies to go to the Doomsday Science and Technology Museum.
Before leaving, everyone gathered at the entrance of the alliance and watched Mou Xuan, Shen Yao and their group set off.
"Brother Xuan, be careful on your way!"
"Sister Yao, protect Brother Xuan!"
“We must find the information!”
Everyone's blessings and expectations turned into a warm current and flowed into Mou Xuan's heart.
He took a deep breath, his eyes firm and confident: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring back what we need!"
The jeep sped along, raising a cloud of dust.
Inside the car, Mou Xuan looked at the desolate scene outside the window, his heart filled with hope.
This time, he must find the key information to improve the new defensive equipment and make the alliance's defense impregnable!
However, when they finally arrived at the Doomsday Technology Archives after untold hardships, the scene before them disappointed them greatly.
The door of the library had collapsed long ago, and the interior was in a mess. Books were scattered all over the floor, many of which had been soaked and rotted by rain, and the air was filled with the smell of mold and dust.
Mou Xuan's heart sank, and an indescribable feeling of depression enveloped him.
It seemed like fate had played a joke on him once again.
"This..." Chen Yao was also stunned. Looking at the scene in front of her, she didn't know what to say.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
He bent down, picked up a tattered book and gently opened it.
The pages of the book were completely stuck together and the writing on them was blurred.
He put down the book he was holding and picked up another, but the result was the same.
Disappointments again and again made Mou Xuan's mood fall to the bottom.
Is it possible that their action this time is doomed to fail?
"Brother Xuan..." Chen Yao gently pulled Mou Xuan's sleeve.
Mou Xuan raised his head and looked at Chen Yao's concerned eyes. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Let's look for it again."
However, his voice seemed unusually weak.
Mou Xuan rubbed his face and thought to himself, "Such a fierce start, this is too exciting!" But I am a man with the aura of a protagonist, how could I be scared by such a small scene?
He looked around, trying to find a glimmer of hope amid the rubble.
Suddenly, a figure came into view - an old man with thick glasses, gray hair and an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit. He was holding a few books and walking carefully through the wreckage of a pile of bookshelves.
"Hey, this old man, no, old gentleman!" Mou Xuan rushed forward and blocked the old man's way, "Who are you?"
The old man raised his head, his eyes behind the glasses full of vigilance: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Don't be nervous, old man, we are here to look for information." Mou Xuan explained quickly, "I heard that this is the Doomsday Science and Technology Archives, and I want to see if I can find something useful."
The old man pushed up his glasses and said in a serious tone: "The archive has been destroyed. There is nothing to find. You can go now."
"Please don't, old man! Our alliance is in urgent need of some information, please help us!" Mu Xuan did not give up and continued to plead, "Or you can give me some pointers!"
The old man still shook his head: "I'm just a data clerk and I don't know anything." After saying that, he was about to bypass Mou Xuan and leave.
Mou Xuan was anxious. This old man looked old-fashioned, but he definitely knew something!
He grabbed the old man and said, "Old man, listen to me! Zombies are rampant outside now, and it is difficult for humans to survive. In order to protect the survivors, our alliance is developing new defensive equipment, but we are lacking key information!"
Mou Xuan paused, and his tone became sincere: "I know you are an intellectual, and you care about the world. If you can help us find this information, we can save more lives! This is not a joke, it concerns the future of mankind!"
The old man stopped and his eyes flickered behind his lenses.
He was silent for a long time, then sighed: "Well, okay, considering your sincerity, I can give it a try."
"Really? Thank you so much, old sir!" Mou Xuan almost jumped up with excitement.
"However, I can only provide some information that I remember, and it is very old and may not be useful." The old man said, "Also, I have some well-preserved books here, but you need to find them yourself."
