Chapter 79 Remains in the Mountains
"How was it? A very useful effect, right?" Leng Yue stopped inputting energy, and the energy layer on the shield slowly disappeared.
"So, how much did you use up just now?"
"What?"
"How much source energy did you consume to complete all the operations just now?" Wu Ou picked up the shield and looked at Leng Yue.
"Well, if I keep maintaining this, it can probably last for about half an hour."
Furthermore, I believe that activating all abilities doesn't necessarily require sustained use...
Before Leng Yue could finish explaining, Wu Ou said, "You don't understand. What we need now is two-way communication."
First, these engraving techniques helped us restore the technological level we had before the disaster.
Secondly, it's about having weapons that enable more people to protect themselves and fight back when facing mutated beasts.
To put it simply, what we need right now are products that can be mass-produced like standard equipment, rather than these meticulously crafted "high-end goods".
Back when the main force of the city guards was still composed of people with strength at the eighth or ninth level, this kind of equipment that consumed a lot of energy was not considered practical.
"So, what should we do now?" Leng Yue took a deep breath, calmly thought it over, and felt that Wu Ou was right.
It was because after coming into contact with the engraving system of the Rhoon civilization that I had an excessive sense of novelty and an uncontrolled "burst of inspiration," which caused me to neglect my original purpose.
"A machine tool for producing basic engravings, and then an assembly line for producing some basic modules."
Of course, another important task is to transform the entire island into a unified base and establish a stable transportation line with the shore.
These are not projects that can be completed in a short period of time.
What Wu Ou needs to do is find a way to analyze the core technology of the successful barrier and find a way to make it usable.
Busy days always fly by, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
A small, fully armed boat slowly approached the shore.
"It's hard to imagine that anyone could build a base like this on this island." One person looked at the warning lighthouse on the island's shore and couldn't help but swallow hard.
They had originally planned to use the speed of their own boat to quickly approach the shore.
That thing that looked like a lighthouse actually launched an energy attack!
The explosion on the water not only splashed water, soaking them to the bone, but also killed an unfortunate fish that leaped out of the water.
They now have the body in their possession, fearing that leaving it on the boat would be seen as an attempt to keep it for themselves.
"This is the Linjiang Research Center under the Northern Base, which is an important area."
Therefore, we cannot accommodate your further visits.
"If you want to cross the river, we can arrange for you to go to the dock base over there." The guard captain came up to them.
Looking at the gun on the other person's body, but it was paired with patterned metal armor, and there was also a long sword at his waist.
This strange blend of ancient and modern made them almost think they had traveled to another world.
"We are from over there, from the ski resort park base."
"We have no ill intentions, and we're not here to spy on any secrets!" The leader kept glancing at the gun on the other man's body; it always gave him the feeling of having a skin in a video game.
There's a sense of déjà vu, as if technology and mystical techniques are combined.
But I have to admit, it's very appealing.
"Ski resort park? Let's do a basic check first. If there are no problems, you can proceed to the other side as normal." The guard captain nodded, adopting a completely businesslike attitude.
"that……"
"What? Do you have some ulterior motive?"
"Can we meet with the administrators of the Northern Base? We are actually special envoys from the Ski Resort Base, here to establish contact with you!" The team leader finally stopped hiding his intentions.
"That requires..."
"We have ways to prove our identity!"
"Okay, follow me." The guard captain led them in another direction.
Just then, a figure descended rapidly from the sky onto a high platform within the building.
Am I seeing things?
"That looks like a person."
"It looks like he flew down by stepping on something."
"Could it be flying on a sword?"
"Stop looking. It's best you don't ask about what's going on over there." The guard captain's voice came, and the men immediately fell silent.
On the other side, Ding Fan, who had just landed, couldn't help but breathe heavily, but his face clearly showed a very refreshed expression.
"Haha, the feeling of flying in the sky..."
"Stop acting crazy, come over here and get your body data checked!" Yan Chi rolled her eyes at him.
"Okay!"
Ding Fan quickly arrived at another room, while the air skateboard was sent next door for further testing.
With the support of the northern base, Yan Chi and Bai Zhou were sent over after the network system restoration work within the base was completed.
According to Wu Ou, the two men's talents in electronics and network programming might provide them with some unique insights into the application of engraving.
In another room, Wu Ou pressed a button.
A small energy ring lit up and then began to charge a barrier core.
hum-
After a series of vibrations, the core stabilized.
After all the carvings on it lit up, the entire core released an energy barrier.
It's shaped like a shield, but it's square.
He picked it up, and soon a cube-shaped barrier enveloped Wu Ou.
"Begin testing the barrier strength."
On one side, Leng Yue began with basic melee weapons, then moved on to guns, grenades, and engraved daggers, all while expending energy.
After completing a set of tests, Wu Ou stopped the power output.
"The energy consumption has decreased, but it remains a persistent problem. Also, if this small barrier is used as an emergency measure, full activation is still too slow."
"The front, or rather the actual emergency front, can be fully revealed in just 1.5 seconds. If it's a partial shield, it only takes 0.3 seconds. Isn't that enough?" Leng Yue looked puzzled.
She always felt that some of Wu Ou's demands were beyond the needs of the current environment.
Wu Ou thought for a moment, "What about mass-produced weapons? I mean, the kind of firearms or laser-based weapons?"
"Even if we use data from the First University City to produce it, it will take more than a year to reach the level of being ready for deployment." Leng Yue shook her head, still feeling that Wu Ou was being too hasty.
It's as if he can foresee future crises.
However, after the thought flashed through her mind, she couldn't help but think about it deeply.
Judging from Wu Ou's previous performance...
"Are you going to report?"
Noticing Wu Ou's actions, Leng Yue quickly asked.
"Yes, this time I will directly set up the basic energy barrier system over there."
As for the energy supply problem, we'll figure out a solution later.
As Leng Yue watched Wu Ou's departing figure, she felt that Wu Ou was definitely hiding something from her!
Stepping out of the laboratory, a small flying skateboard quickly appeared beneath Wu Ou's feet.
"It's time to bring out the energy battery technology found in the mountain ruins."
