Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 74 Linjiang's Position

"If we're talking about other things, I wouldn't refuse to go to the northern base."

But this so-called remnant of an alien civilization…”

"Whether it's the improvement in our physical fitness, the enhancement in our memory, or the special abilities that have emerged among young people."

Why insist on clinging to that "scientific" mindset?

Use it flexibly, and prioritize practicality!

Before the first old man could finish speaking, the other person retorted.

"I'm afraid that the so-called alien civilization's technology isn't that great; it's just a different form of expression. Instead of spending too much time analyzing and mastering it, it would be better to focus on repairing the original instruments."

"At least, we can acquire deterrent-level weapons as soon as possible." A sharp glint flashed in the former's eyes.

"You! You've finally gotten a little younger and have some energy, so why are you still so bloodthirsty as before? Those mutated animals might be able to be domesticated again in the future," another old man said slowly.

"Alright, alright, why do you always change the subject like this! The problem is right in front of us, we only have two choices: send someone to exchange for supplies, or don't send anyone and let them figure out another way!" A person sitting in a chair took a sip of water and brought the topic back on track.

"Actually, I'm more curious about how they solve the energy problem."

It's not just the energy needs of these technological devices, but also the energy needs of people with special abilities.

"They definitely don't have as many people with special abilities as we do, but it seems their level of technical recovery isn't bad." The second person to speak narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Perhaps, we can find relevant clues in the ruins of that alien civilization."

"Furthermore, since he said there might be other relics, do you think we should also organize a search?" The first old man looked at the one who was sitting.

"We'll talk about that later! The situation outside is far too dangerous for us right now. As for the other two, once they've gained something from the northern base this time, they'll come knocking on our door!" The old man chuckled, as if he could already foresee what would happen.

"Then let's start recommending candidates! I recommend Liu Yitao's team, since they happen to specialize in researching metallic materials," the seated elder said, then looked at the others, indicating that they could make their recommendations.

"Liu Yitao's team is quite capable, but they only have two special evolved individuals. Will sending them make them look down on us? I think Su Linglong's team is quite good; they're in the engine business."

"Maybe they really have a harvest over there, and we can use it right away!" The second old man to speak said, chuckling softly.

"Who doesn't know that's your student! We're supposed to be competing to see who recovers their basic skills first. Are you trying to find outside help to take a shortcut?" The first old man to speak couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"If you ask me, Dong Tianjun's team! They're good at explosives. They'll make the northern base realize that only our country's weapons system is the most suitable! And they can restore the manufacturing system as quickly as possible, as long as they're willing to support them!"

"Heh heh, so you're the one who's really got your plans in the bag!" the second old man retorted with a glare.

The former stared back at him without flinching, neither giving an inch, and they almost ended up crossing their eyes.

"Does anyone have any other suggestions?" The old man sitting there seemed to be used to this kind of bickering between the two, and he didn't try to stop them at all. Instead, he looked at the other people.

Just then, the youngest-looking person spoke up, "I have a good suggestion. There is a team that has only three people, although it is small."

However, those who study the "new energy" system are all special evolutionists.

Maybe!

What practical gains can we expect from this trip?

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else looked at him.

It seems that the person he proposed was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Are you sure? While it's certain that the 'source energy' they're talking about exists, and even their theory about source energy converting into various forms of energy has some basis in fact."

But compared to others, this can be considered starting from scratch.

Moreover, all three of them were only permitted to become your students after awakening their special abilities.

Given such an opportunity, setting aside the value of the extraterrestrial civilization's relics, just considering the cooperative relationship with the northern base, we should send out reliable and capable personnel.

The team this person proposed has the ability, but its reliability is questionable.

"This is an opportunity, especially since their theories often conflict with others, or rather, with the original technological system on our planet."

If they confirm their suspicions over there, that would be a good thing.

"If that doesn't work, it will at least make them give up completely and reduce our wrong options. Why not do it?" The man looked at the old man sitting there and couldn't help but say.

"Hmm! You make a good point. Now, let's vote—"

At the Northern Base, after Wu Ou demonstrated the actual effectiveness of the protective shield, Coach Li was eager for it to work its magic and protect the entire Northern Base.

Of course, if it were to be driven entirely by source energy, let alone Wu Ou alone, even if everyone in the entire base who generates source energy worked together, it would probably be impossible to support it to its maximum capacity.

Fortunately, while this device is best powered by its own energy source, it doesn't mean it can't accept other energy sources.

After relocating a power line, Wu Ou placed it in the very center of the northern base.

Zlala—

As the current flows, it is injected into the core of the barrier.

The patterns on the barrier gradually lit up, but this speed was much slower than the normal injection of source energy.

It's like the difference in brightness between a fluorescent light and an incandescent bulb, or like an elderly person slowly climbing stairs, one step at a time.

"It's bigger, it's gotten bigger!" Coach Li watched as the core of the barrier was fully lit up, and then light emanated from the top.

Immediately afterwards, the other four corners also released energy.

But as the barrier expanded, the power plant quickly sounded an alarm!

"No, with the current power supply level, unless it's at the level of a nuclear power plant, it's unlikely to be able to support its expansion to the maximum and maintain it." Wu Ou retracted the barrier core.

"So, the solution..."

"Yes, it is among the ruins." Wu Ou nodded, giving Coach Li an affirmative answer.

"That's good! You guys take over for now, and also communicate with Xu Rui at Linjiang Shopping Mall to get his cooperation."

"That area definitely needs to be renovated and given more attention." Coach Li's tone became serious.

The matter is of great importance, and there is no way to relax there. As a result, a gathering place that was not originally intended to be given too much attention must now be placed under direct management as soon as possible.

At least until the value of the Jiangxin Island relics is fully discovered, its status will not be too weak.

"Xiao Xu, our exchange and cooperation this time has been finalized."

Have your people get to Linjiang Mall within two days and meet up with Wu Ou!
