Looking at Xiaohua's hopeful eyes, Xiahe said, "These are building blocks, a great toy for passing the time."
Xiahe invited Xiaohua to build a house with her, and the two spent a pleasant evening watching TV and building with blocks.
As night approached, Xia He and Xiao Hua looked at the dreamy candy house in front of them, nodded in satisfaction, and then went into their room and fell asleep immediately.
The next morning, Xia He arrived at the rooftop early and set a goal for herself: to cultivate to the level of a Great Spirit Master before moving!
The morning sunlight shone on her, and Xia He took a deep breath, feeling the start of a new day. She began her cultivation journey, focusing intently on circulating her spiritual energy and practicing various techniques.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
The high temperatures continued to rise during this period, and many people in the base contracted heatstroke. Although Dr. Fu had developed the latest temperature-regulating clothing, even if the body temperature dropped, the burning sensation in the air continued to scorch people's lungs under the continuous baking heat.
But the good news is that Phase 1 Doomsday Fortress is almost complete.
"Base Commander, the fortress is only missing the topping-out work, but Dr. Fu said that we still need a rare metal to complete the core control of the fortress." Zhou Zihao said to Xiao Lin, looking at the fortress in front of him.
"What metal?" Xiao Lin asked.
Zhou Zihao adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Dr. Fu said that a rare metal called 'Star Crystal Gold' is needed. It is a material used in aerospace technology and has special energy properties, which can provide powerful core control for the fortress."
Xiao Lin pondered for a moment, then asked, "Dr. Fu asked you to tell me that this metal is missing. Is it because we can't find this metal right now?"
Zhou Zihao nodded. "Yes, Dr. Fu heard that there is an aerospace research institute in the southwest. That kind of metal should be there. A bounty has been issued for scavengers to find it. A team went there before, but only two people came back. The two people said that there was something unclean in the research institute, and everyone who went there died inside. So the location of this metal is somewhat dangerous, which makes scavengers afraid to go there."
Zhou Zihao continued, "But right now, the fortress is only missing this last piece of metal to complete the roof, so Dr. Fu asked me to ask you if you have any good solutions."
After listening, Xiao Lin understood. Dr. Fu had asked him to send someone to retrieve that damn metal, and he didn't even know if the research institute had any Star Crystal Gold.
However, for the sake of the base, Xiao Lin still told Zhou Zihao, "I understand. Go back and tell Dr. Fu that I will take people out to search for Star Crystal Gold in the next two days. However, I don't know what the metal looks like. It would be great if Dr. Fu could describe it to me."
Zhou Zihao seemed to have anticipated Xiao Lin's response, so he took out a piece of paper from his bag, on which was a hand-drawn image of metal.
Xiao Lin took the paper and carefully examined the hand-drawn illustration. The metal depicted in the drawing possessed a unique crystalline luster, and the name "Starry Crystal Gold" seemed to be well-deserved; its shape in the drawing resembled stars in the night sky condensed on the metal.
"This shape is quite unique; it should be recognizable. Tell Dr. Fu that we will return as soon as possible and bring back the required Star Crystal Gold," Xiao Lin said.
