Chapter 80 Ernoki Civilization
The Northern Base is now vastly different from what it was half a month ago.
Many of the original basic residential buildings were demolished and transformed into factories, breeding bases, drinking water purification centers, and energy supply centers.
The snow on the streets had long since disappeared, and even if there was an occasional heavy snowfall, many transport trucks could be seen delivering the snow to the purification center for processing before the snow stopped.
Judging solely from the situation on the streets, it seems as if things have returned to normal as they were before the disaster.
A modified car drove in through one of the gates. The person in the driver's seat opened the window, showed their ID card, and was then allowed to pass.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at a main building located in the core area of the northern base.
The biggest difference between the current Northern Base and the previous one is the height of the buildings.
Previously, no building dared to exceed thirty meters, but now it has been restored to fifty meters.
At the very top of these high-rise buildings, there are guards on duty, armed with anti-aircraft weapons and air interference devices.
These are all designed to deal with bird-like energy beasts that might attack buildings.
Inside an office, the driver from before walked in with four other people.
"Su Lei, with four researchers, has completed this exploration mission and is here to report!"
"You've worked hard. How's the situation over there?" Commander Tian gestured for them to sit down and talk.
"Commander Tian, based on the current situation, it's time to start setting up a temporary camp over there."
However, some of the artifacts brought back from there don't seem to be the same as the previous Jiangxin relics. "An elderly man wearing glasses said, taking out a glove device that looked like a grappling hook.
"Based on Dr. Wu's suggestion and the characteristics of the artifacts from the Jiangxin Island civilization, it is codenamed the 'Carved Pattern Civilization'."
Although no written language system has been found on the artifacts of this civilization currently in the mountains, some basic traces can still be discerned.
As he spoke, he demonstrated a simple operation on the hook glove.
"As you can see, it is divided into two parts: a mechanized structure and an energy amplification structure."
Compared to the products of the Glyphic Civilization, the two technological structures here appear more abrupt.
It's like a piece of off-white paper glued to a white wall.
Although not as conspicuous as black, a closer look still reveals a clear difference between the two.
Commander Tian paused for a moment, then tried to pull the corner of the table that was being held away with his hands.
"That force..."
"This is just the most basic level, just like how the engraving technique can adjust the output by inputting source energy." The researcher said, increasing the source energy output.
At that moment, Commander Tian felt the force coming from the grappling hook.
"That's more like it. So, do you have any good suggestions? Wasn't the site supposed to be open to the public?" He looked at the researchers.
Five days ago, when Wu Ou returned to report on the latest progress in barrier research technology, he suddenly said...
"The earthquake was actually occurring in the other direction as well, but I first thought of the island in the middle of the river that had already been discovered."
Thinking about it now, there's very likely a remnant of a civilization over there too.
At the time, Coach Li did not intend to send anyone to investigate, since the technology used to examine the Jiangxin Island ruins was already quite good and would be of great help to the restoration and construction of the northern base.
Not to mention, because of a river island relic, Beijiang Wharf is already preparing to form a new base with the riverside shopping mall.
It will take at least a month to complete the initial phase of this project.
Moreover, barrier technology is more important right now.
Otherwise, no matter how large the land is acquired, it cannot be protected.
No matter how large the population is, they will only be overwhelmed by their basic living needs.
But in the end, Wu Ou still gave a suggestion that Coach Li accepted.
"We can cooperate with the First University City; they have a lot of advanced technologies and theories."
Even though much has been damaged in the past year, the existence of special evolved individuals, along with their intellect and knowledge, allows our technological system to be quickly restored.
Another point is that Hong Wei's situation is not an isolated case.
Didn't the previous broadcasts from the northern base also take this into consideration?
Moreover, to put it somewhat distantly, we need to be prepared for the state of those other countries and how we should deal with them after we rebuild order.
After listening to Wu Ou's words, Coach Li thought for a moment and finally nodded, "You need to have a longer-term vision!"
Tell me your plans.
"The three alliance bases seem to be united in their actions, but the other two sides have always had a desire to use the First University City to turn their technological knowledge into military force, while at the same time they are afraid that the First University City has actually mastered great power."
This can be seen from the fact that some of the people they sent last time failed to successfully embark on the path of special evolutionists.
Therefore, we must win over the scholars in the first university town and exchange our technological products for their expertise.
However, the object of the exchange was the entire Tri-Union Alliance.
We took the lead, took control of the situation, and led the people of the First University City to explore what exactly was hidden in the ruins in the mountains.
Once I've mastered the barrier technology, I can share it with them appropriately; I'm sure they'll be interested.
Regaining his composure from the conversation between the two, Commander Tian also found his special ability quite useful.
With relatively abundant resources, he and Coach Li successfully advanced to the next round.
He was just lucky; he awakened his superpowers and became a special evolved being.
Coach Li is just an ordinary evolved being with enhanced physical abilities.
"Commander Tian, the ruins over there have indeed been opened to the public, but there are signs of damage caused by mutated beasts."
Fortunately, the overall structure is still relatively intact, and we are carrying out salvage excavation as much as possible. The researcher retracted the mechanical claw, looking somewhat distressed.
"Commander Tian, I will lead the guards to protect the safety of the camp, the researchers, and the relics technology." Su Lei immediately saluted and assured Commander Tian.
Dang dang dang.
"Please come in."
Commander Tian looked towards the door and, upon seeing the person entering, revealed a look of surprise and delight.
"Wu Ou, what brings you here? Could it be...?"
"Commander Tian, you have lived up to expectations. The mass production technology for weakening the core barrier has been achieved."
"Really?"
"That's the barrier technology that can cover two-thirds of the northern base!"
"How does it do that? What's the method of energy conversion...?"
"Don't fight over it, I'm the only one here researching energy barriers..."
"Get out of here! Your project made almost no real progress for three years before the disaster struck! It's not even as good as my new materials technology!"
Seeing the researchers' excited expressions, Wu Ou suddenly felt that he should wait until they left before coming back.
"Dr. Wu, may we try it out first?"
