The air conditioner was blowing loudly next to her, and there was a large ice basin in the room. When she fell asleep, sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, which was then dried by the air conditioner.
While sleeping, Lin Ruo suddenly felt hot. She opened her eyes and found that all the air conditioners in the fortress had stopped; there was no electricity.
Lin Ruo got up and replaced the battery boxes for each air conditioner, then put the used battery boxes into the space to recharge them.
The solar panels in the space were running low on electricity, so Lin Ruo brought out the generator again, put in diesel fuel, and started generating electricity.
The solar panels inside the space cannot be laid directly on the outside fortress because the intense sunlight outside will damage the solar panels. The optimal operating temperature for these panels is 15-35 degrees Celsius, so regardless of extreme cold or heat, they can only generate electricity inside the space.
After charging all the battery boxes, Lin Ruo turned on the air conditioner in the fortress again. The air conditioner had only been off for a short while when the temperature in the fortress began to rise rapidly, immediately increasing by 10 degrees Celsius.
Afu and Ashou also woke up from the heat. They moved their straw mats a few steps closer to the ice basin and then lay down directly on it.
Lin Ruo took out two more large basins from her spatial storage, each containing a small iceberg, and placed them in the living room to cool it down.
In just a short while, she was also covered in sweat. She looked at the clock on the wall; it was 2 p.m., the hottest time of day. She decided not to take a shower and went back to sleep.
As the sun set, Lin Ruo opened her eyes, feeling exhausted. She activated her mental energy, and her water-based powers circulated within her body, immediately making her feel much more refreshed.
The curtains were drawn, making the room dim. She reached out and turned on the light before sitting up.
Stepping into the bathroom, she found that even sleeping at home in this kind of weather was torture. She woke up covered in sweat, thanks to the water-based superpower that helped regulate her body; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to sleep at all.
I quickly washed my face and felt much refreshed. I only ate half a watermelon before going to bed this morning, so I'm finally hungry tonight.
She went to the living room and found that all the ice in the living room had melted, and Afu and Ashou were sleeping soundly on the mat next to the basin.
She didn't disturb them. She quickly filled the ice basin in the living room with ice before going into the training room to begin her daily physical training. The training exercises were the same as before, but it took half an hour longer.
The main problem is that the sweat always gets into her eyes, and she has to use her water-based abilities to evaporate the sweat, which wastes time.
She sat on the ground, panting heavily, her water-based powers flowing through her body, helping to relieve her fatigue and heat.
She focused her mental energy into the space and retrieved two sweatbands from the static space, placing them in the fortress's training room. She would remember to bring them next time she trained.
The sweat on her body was evaporated by her water-based supernatural power, and she sat cross-legged on the ground to begin the next part of her cultivation.
Two hours later, Lin Ruo walked out of the training room. At this time, A Fu and A Shou had already gotten up and were licking the ice in the ice basin.
To cool off, they even stopped drinking the lake water in their basins.
Lin Ruo added ice to the lake water in the basin for them, and when Afu and Ashou saw this, they turned around and went to drink the lake water.
She smiled softly, turned and went into her bedroom. She needed to take a shower first. While showering, Lin Ruo wanted to lie in the bathtub a little longer, but her stomach started rumbling.
She could only get up and get herself something to eat.
She prepared dinner for Afu and the other two, and made herself a bowl of cold noodles with soup. The icy, sweet and sour taste was especially appetizing.
Lin Ruo ate a large bowl of food before letting out a satisfied burp. She then prepared to pack her things and get up to continue cultivating her spatial energy.
Suddenly remembering that the purslane she had brought back yesterday was still in her spatial dimension and hadn't been planted, she quickly used her spiritual power to enter the space. The purslane was still planted in the flowerpot, without any sign of life.
Lin Ruo carefully scanned the surroundings with his mental energy and, sure enough, found the seeds left by saw aralia in the soil. This thing really does reproduce wherever it is placed.
She took the purslane out of her spatial storage, and also sent all the purslane seeds out of the space, so that there was no need for this thing in the space anymore.
She then planted sawtooth amaranth in the forest several hundred meters away from the fortress's firebreak. With this plant there, no mutated animals or humans could enter the area within a month.
Natural barrier!
Then she had a flash of inspiration: she could transplant all the mutated plants from the mountains and forests to this place. The more mutated plants there were, the fewer people there would be. Having these mutated animals guard the gate would be a great idea.
...
"So, how many of the people who used this machine became superhumans?"
Zhu Zhengzhong looked expectantly at the experimental staff who came to report on their work. The staff member was wearing a white lab coat, his face was sunburned, and he reported the data with some difficulty. "Our base now has a total of 200,000 people. In the past week, we have made sure that they have all used the equipment."
"But very few people have awakened; only 34 people have become superhumans."
Yang Songming frowned, clearly extremely dissatisfied with this number. "Why?"
The researchers said seriously, "According to our observations, the brain cells of these people who have become superhumans are abnormally active and different from ordinary people. But like the previous superhumans, they have what is called mental power. In other words, only people with mental power can obtain superhumans. People without mental power cannot become superhumans."
"So out of all the people in our base, only 34 have the mental power to become superhumans?" Yang Songming's expression was not good. He traded 30,000 tons of grain for this device, and all he got were 34 superhumans. How could he be satisfied with that!
