End of World's Businessman

Chapter 179 Breakthrough

This new type of energy converter is inspired by the fusion weapon developed by Professor Li earlier. He and Professor Gu tried many kinds of metals, and used their brains to fuse these metals with mutated insects and zombies' alien creatures. After deduction and calculation of countless data, it wasn't until someone sent a batch of mutated worms with a special structure into the research institute not long ago that they finally found a breakthrough from a new type of metal condensed in the mutated worms.

This new type of translucent silver metal has half the density of iron, but its toughness is more than a hundred times that of ordinary refined iron, and its boiling point is over [-] degrees Celsius, almost twice that of copper.

According to the formula deduced by Zhinao, copper, a new type of metal named Mithril, and several other mutant bugs are perfectly fused together, and then made according to the original form of the energy converter provided by Wu Ye The converter can perfectly export the energy contained in the crystal nucleus.The utilization rate of the crystal nucleus reaches more than 75%, which is 30 times that of the 2.5% utilization rate converter manufactured by adding green gleam before.

According to this data, the energy generated by 1 crystal is equivalent to 25 degrees of electric energy and 2.5 liters of gasoline.The fuel consumption of an ordinary pickup truck is about 10 liters per 4 kilometers. In other words, 8 crystals of energy can make an ordinary pickup truck run for hundreds of kilometers.Considering the situation of refitting a car and carrying people and goods, it will definitely not exceed [-] crystals.

After Wu Ye formed an alliance with the Feng family, according to the current market situation, the average price of gasoline purchased by Lancheng from Feng Yu is about 3.5 crystals per liter, and the price of gasoline sold to corpse hunters is controlled at about 5 crystals per liter. Taking an ordinary pickup as an example, it takes 100 crystals to run 50 kilometers.Undoubtedly, the gas price is a huge expense for the corpse hunters. Even if everyone carpools and forms a team to share the gas fee, the fuel cost alone for the corpse hunters will cost more than 10 crystals every time they go out on a mission.

If the situation worsens in the future, it will be difficult for caravans to travel, and the price of oil will continue to rise. If it is even more unfortunate, the oil-producing settlements will be destroyed, and everyone will face the situation of running out of fuel and unable to use cars.Sometimes four wheels may not be able to outrun zombies and bugs, let alone just relying on one's own two legs?

Not only cars need energy to drive, but also factories.Relying solely on solar energy or coal and fuel purchased from other settlements can only meet the needs of a few factories in the settlement. To resume production on a large scale, it must rely on other new energy sources.

Crystal nucleus is undoubtedly the most suitable 'new energy'.

According to the system, in the higher cosmic world, oil and coal have long since withdrawn from history, and what is used is crystal nucleus energy and other natural energies.There are no zombies in the higher cosmic world, but there are also mutated insects. Both the human race and the Zerg race regard each other as a source of energy, and the war between the two sides is destined to be endless from the very beginning.

Compared with the mutated bugs in the higher cosmic world, these bugs in the zombie plane are still in the most advanced state of evolution, and the combat effectiveness of the two cannot be compared at all.Similarly, the contained crystal nucleus energy is not comparable.

This time, the 'Mithril' metal, which has successfully increased the utilization rate of the crystal nucleus, Wu Ye found out that it is actually sold in the system after seeing the real thing. .Just buying Lvyan is enough to make Wu Ye feel heartbroken. For those super metals that are more expensive, Wu Ye is at most just watching the excitement.

The 'mithril' metal is produced by a mutant beetle that is very difficult to kill. This mutant beetle is about half a meter long and 30 centimeters high. The carapace on its back is quite hard. Once the shooting distance exceeds 50 meters, Even a sniper rifle can't do anything about it.Its only weak spot is a piece of soft flesh the size of a fist in the center of its belly, and it is most likely to die if it is shot at that spot.This kind of worm named 'Silver Beetle' by the corpse hunters is silver in color, not only has a very good defense, but also has a strong attack power.

A pair of forelimbs resembling a sawtooth sickle are flexible and sharp. Although it has not yet evolved to the level of cutting iron like mud, it is not a problem to easily cut off the arms and legs of the corpse hunter.Silver beetles are relatively large among the current mutated insects, and they are not only big, but also have extremely fast movement speed and amazing jumping ability on several pairs of hind legs. Many corpse hunters have already fallen on them.

The silver beetle is not small, but the 'mithril' it produces is very small. Among the mithril collected by the corpse hunters, the smallest is only the size of a grain of rice, and the largest is no more than the size of a soybean.If it wasn't for the beautiful and unique color of Mithril next to its worm crystal, the corpse hunters would probably have overlooked it.

Lancheng's research institute clearly stipulates that if someone discovers new species of zombies, bugs, mutated plants, or their "variant organisms", all of them can be sent to the research institute for free testing. If they find useful substances, they will be rewarded. Great rewards.If it is the first person to discover and submit for inspection, there will be a generous contribution value reward.Some people have jumped from first-level to third-level citizens by virtue of the "unusual creature" points submitted for inspection. The benefits of the citizen hierarchy are self-evident, so when corpse hunters go out on missions, they will pay attention to collecting various 'New Species' and 'Alien Creatures'.

Some 'alien creatures' that have been registered and verified, such as fusion weapons and vaccines, are not cheap. There are already corpse hunters who no longer just fight with zombies, but instead organize groups to hunt and kill corresponding bugs.

In any case, it is a historic progress to be able to produce an energy converter with a crystal nucleus utilization rate of 75% entirely from materials in this world.

It can be said that until this moment, human beings finally got the key to reverse their fate.However, having the key does not mean that human beings can really open the door to another future, everything still needs time and blood baptism and sacrifice.

"You two elders have worked hard during this time! The scientific researchers have also worked hard! I will give you a long vacation starting tomorrow! Each of you will send a big red envelope!" Wu Ye said happily after reading the data of the converter.Professor Li, Professor Gu, Ji Yun and their researchers have been exhausted during this time. The three of them have the physical fitness pills that Wu Ye provides from time to time to recuperate their bodies. Others can only consume their body capital day and night. Work, many researchers are obviously young, but their hair is much grayer.

Professor Li and the others are now in the throes of research, so they are reluctant to leave the laboratory. Professor Li said, "There is no need for holidays. You can help me take my red envelope to Ji Chong, and ask him to get some for the children in the plantation." It’s a delicious meal, those children are poor.” The children in the plantation are all orphans, Ji Chong did not starve these children for three meals a day, but after all, there are no parents and family members to protect them, and they are all Xiaodou in his teens Ding, how could life be so good?

Zhou Jiabao and An An are quite familiar with these children. The two little guys will occasionally take the children who are close to them to the small building to play. Professor Li is old and has no children, so he likes it very much. these kids.At his age, money doesn't mean much to him anymore. Instead of saving up randomly, it's better to give these little guys an extra meal and let them eat a few good meals.

Professor Gu's family members are no longer alive, and he also said: "I still have my share for those children."

Wu Ye laughed heartily and said, "No problem, this matter is on my shoulders."

After chatting for a while, Qin Wuhua brought the topic back to the converter, "Can Mithril be used on the energy shield?"

Professor Li said: "Of course, according to the data deduced by the brain, if a proper amount of Mithril is added to the energy shield, the energy shield can save more than 50% of the crystal nucleus consumption, and at the same time, the defense will also be greatly improved."

Qin Wuhua frowned and said, "Wait for two more months at most and the weather will turn warmer. At that time, there may still be a hard battle to fight. The use of Mithril to improve the energy shield must be the top priority!"

Qin Wuhua is not alarmist. He and his personal guards used security planes to collect information around Lancheng, showing that there are many fusion zombies slowly walking out of the city four to five hundred kilometers away from Lancheng; The beach has been occupied by dense sea zombies. They are wriggling their tiny feet and moving inland.If you add the mutated bugs that wake up from hibernation at that time, the situation is very pessimistic.

To the south of Lancheng, almost all settlements have been destroyed. Once the zombies and insects from the south go north, Lancheng will bear the brunt.

"The basic data model of the brain has been deduced, and the theoretical feasibility has reached more than 90%. The biggest problem now is not our theoretical research, but the amount of Mithril is too small, and the transformation of the energy shield is not enough." Professor Gu frowned. .

In the research institute, except for Li Yuan, Professor Li, and Ji Yun, no one else could leave the research institute easily. If they didn't leave the research institute, it didn't mean they didn't know anything about the outside situation.Periodically, Ji Yun would update the people in the research institute on the latest news outside.Ji Yun gave the most direct and comprehensive information, and the researchers were even clearer about the situation outside than ordinary corpse hunters.

Wu Ye frowned slightly and said: "Don't worry about Mithril, I will take my guards out to hunt silver beetles tomorrow, and I will definitely find a way to get the amount you need. You continue to do theoretical research and try to increase the success rate for me as much as possible." To 100%." ​​Anyway, if you don't kill enough at that time, you can use the system to make up for it. The system is expensive, so you can send missions to the Corpse Hunters Union, and there must be brave men under the reward!We all know the source of things, are we afraid we can’t get enough?

"If time permits, you can study carefully how to make crystal nuclear weapons and crystal nuclear engines." Qin Wuhua said.

Ji Yun smiled and said: "Boss, we have already let the brain start simulating data on this matter, and the results will be available within a few days at the earliest."

"Very good, get these things done as soon as possible." Qin Wuhua rarely showed a smile in front of outsiders, and the admiration in his eyes was very obvious.

Is this being praised?Is this being praised?Ji Yun instantly felt like a fully charged battery, don't be too motivated!

Hey, what about the long vacation? !Liar!

All the scientific researchers: A workaholic boss is not scary, but the scary thing is that every boss is a workaholic, it's simply not the rhythm of life! QAQ was very fast. When they got the big red envelope from Wu Yefa, they immediately resurrected with full blood and blue, and devoted themselves to work.

In the last days, it has never been possible for one person to solve it by force alone. The greatest wealth that God has given to mankind is actually wisdom.

The end of the world is the worst era, but it may not be the best era either.
