Chapter 26: The Genius of the Frenzy Base
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on this master.
The master seemed a little nervous and stuttered: "Yes, the caretaker at the Wildfire Base said so during a casual chat. Actually, I haven't seen the real thing either..."
Li Xingye said gently: "What's your name? I remember they said you have supernatural powers."
"Chief, my name is Lin Wei, and my ability is mechanical proficiency, barely at level three."
Lin Wei was very respectful to Li Xingye, even though he was nearly twenty years older than Li Xingye.
Qiangzi frowned, "You have superpowers, so why were you caught as...?"
Lin Wei smiled bitterly: "I have superpowers, but my wife and children don't. I can't just abandon them. If it weren't for the leader, our family would have died in the Wildfire Base. In fact, what I want to say is... there is a high possibility that there is a crystal core-driven device like this in the Wildfire Base."
Everyone present looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
If their base could have this kind of device that uses crystal cores as power, then their living standards would definitely be improved qualitatively.
After Lin Qi died, the base lost his gravity-sensing ability, which was equivalent to losing a line of defense. Now that the number of people in the base has almost doubled, we still need to strengthen our defense. If we have this kind of power device, there will be a lot we can do.
It’s a pity that although the base has a top psychic like Li Xingye, its overall strength is still not good enough.
Because there are too few people with special abilities, there are too many ordinary people who need to be supported.
In fact, Li Xingye had tried to recruit new psychics to expand the base. After all, his strength was there and there were many people willing to join him.
But when there are too many people, the mind becomes complicated.
After all, not everyone is like him, willing to protect a group of "useless" ordinary people when there is a lack of food.
What's more, some people even suggested that Li Xingye treat those people as "reserve food".
The one who jumped the highest among them was Ding Yao, who had been kicked out of the base. When Ding Yao left, he also took away a group of people who shared the same ideas as him. It is said that they all went to join the Frenzy Base.
The only good thing is that after this incident, the people in the base became more united. After all, those ordinary people also know that they can still be treated as human beings here with Li Xingye, but if they leave here, it is hard to say.
So later on, Li Xingye lost interest in expanding the base.
Because he gradually had a premonition of what would happen to his group if there was no new turn of events.
It cannot be said that he gave up, but after struggling for ten years in the apocalypse, he was finally able to calmly accept the predetermined outcome.
But now with Chi Wan, the flame of hope in Li Xingye's heart slowly burned again.
As long as there is enough food, he is confident that he can protect more people.
Be it naive or stupid, Li Xingye ultimately did not want to see everyone lose the last bit of humanity in the oppression of the end times.
The fact that the Frenzy Base had developed a new type of energy device also made him realize that if he wanted to save more people, it was imperative to develop the base.
When Haozi heard Lin Wei say that the Wildfire Base might have new energy equipment, he suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly said, "Wait for me," and turned to run towards the warehouse.
In less than five minutes, he came back again, holding a strange-shaped object in his hand.
"Master Lin, take a look and see if this is what you said."
"This is……"
Haozi put the things on the ground. The two cylinders were side by side, almost as high as a person's thigh.
Lin Wei walked around it to identify it carefully, and soon he said excitedly: "This is it! This is a lighter!"
He closed his eyes, and with his hands he moved around the lighter with incredible dexterity, quickly breaking it into countless parts.
The most conspicuous one among them is the crystal core of the second-level zombie.
Perhaps it was because he was talking about his area of expertise, Lin Wei no longer felt restrained, but instead raised the crystal core with some excitement: "After the fire-type superpowers store part of their superpowers, they use the commonality between superpowers and crystal core energy to simulate the state of superpowers releasing superpowers and maintain the release of flames.
"It's nothing to think of this idea, but it takes true genius to be able to confine the uncontrolled superpowers so precisely in this small device. There must be a mechanical control superpower user of at least level six in the Frenzy Base, and he is very familiar with the operation of superpowers and crystal core energy!"
Lin Wei tried to suppress his excitement and said to Li Xingye: "Chief, there must be more similar devices in the Frenzy Base. If they are used on weapons or vehicles, the safety of the base can be better guaranteed."
Although he didn't quite understand the principle behind what Lin Wei was saying, Qiangzi accurately extracted the main idea of this passage: "So, we'd better go to the Frenzy Base and invite this person over?"
"You mean to snatch it away?" Cheng Peng said speechlessly.
Qiangzi waved his hand: "Can't we be more civilized?"
Cheng Peng rolled his eyes.
Haozi was more curious about one thing: "Can this be put back together?"
Lin Wei nodded: "Although it may be difficult for me to invent and manufacture, as long as there is such a sample, I can copy it. It's just that my ability level is not high enough, so I can only make some small devices at most."
Li Xingye had been listening quietly until this moment, when he suddenly spoke up: "Then use these to make a crystal core-powered gas stove. I will find a way to get the other things to the base."
Lin Wei: "Ah? Oh, no problem. With a gas stove, it will be much more convenient to cook in the future."
Qiangzi and the other two looked at Lin Wei with some pity, thinking: Do you think this is for the base? Innocent.
However, they also strongly support Li Xingye's behavior of taking the God of Space as the standard for everything.
Not only is it a life-saving favor, but it's also a thank you for eating someone's food.
Moreover, they could also feel the determination in Li Xingye that had not been seen for a long time.
The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of eagerness to try - what the boss said about finding a way to get it for the base should be what they meant, right?
*
The Space Goddess who was being talked about had no idea what kind of big surprise Li Xingye would give her later. She had just bought what she needed and was preparing to say goodbye to Zhou Huaijin.
Originally, Zhou Huaijin was worried that Chi Wan would be picked on again, so he thought about sending her back. But Chi Wan said that Chi Yuanshan had already driven over to pick him up, so he gave up.
Seeing Chi Yuanshan getting out of the car and walking towards them, Zhou Huaijin helped to take the bags in his hands to the car and said with a smile: "I am going back to school in the next two days, and I will see you at school later...Junior Sister Wanwan."
Although Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe didn't know why their daughter was with the young man from the Zhou family, they still politely invited him to have lunch together.
Naturally, I was politely declined.
The family of three parted ways with Zhou Huaijin.
