Chapter 724: 49 Days of Cataclysm (1)

While everyone was deliberating, the triple damage of wind, rain, and lightning was constantly attacking the concentric protective net that covered the sky over Midtown. These injuries are simple and crude, and the protective net can defend them against them without missing a hole in a short period of time, but it cannot withstand long-term attrition.

At present, the main load carriers of the protective net include three aspects: the forest in the mountain itself; The star soul element uniformly deployed by Lin Fuzi; Members involved in concentric formations.

No matter how strong Lin Zaishan's individual strength is, he is only a sixth-level star soul, his ability to bear the load is limited after all, and he still has to worry and be busy with various affairs, so it is impossible to concentrate on resisting the triple attack.

Hundreds of Star Soul components have been reprogrammed by Lin Zaishan and Lin Fuzi, each focusing on a specific function to maximize the relevant performance, and forming an efficient system coupling with each other under unified deployment - which allows them to withstand more load as a whole, but the number is far from enough.

The members of the concentric formation are human beings after all, they need to eat, rest, fatigue, injuries and all kinds of negative emotions. Although the concentric protective network of tens of thousands of people they formed is very strong, it is destined to be difficult in terms of staying power and balance.

The most pressing problem for Midtown is how to strengthen the protective net, so that it can work at high intensity for a long time, and effectively resist multiple attacks such as strong winds, torrential rain, and lightning.

One of the effective countermeasures that Lin Zaishan and Lin Fuzi can do at the moment is to create more Star Soul Elements. Thanks to the previous battles with the insect swarm, Lin Zaishan has harvested no less than 100,000 Zerg Star Souls, most of which are still firmly stored in his Star Soul World. Not now, but when? He collaborated with Lin Fuzi to add Star Soul Elements at a rate of 10 per minute. The more Star Soul elements, the more stable the protective net, and the stronger Lin Fuzi's ability and faster he will work. However, in general, the growth rate of the composite carrier is much slower than the load itself, and more and more personnel are beginning to show symptoms of overload. According to this trend, it will only take about 10 hours at most, and the protection network will have serious vulnerabilities or even collapse.

While Lin Zaishan was busy, the Tianqin girl group asked to see her. "Ladies, I really don't have time to meet with you right now. Every 1 second is a matter of life and death. ”

Xiao Sa said coquettishly: "Don't you even want to see me?" ”

"If I see you for 1 minute, we may have 8 additional citizens unconscious due to energy overload."

"What if we had a solution to the problem of energy overload?"

"Really?" Lin Zaishan was surprised and delighted.

Xu Yuxin said: "Teacher Lin, our Tianqin Women's Group just cooperated to design a Star Soul Matrix Energy Battery, which can store the energy of the universe. Please take a look at it. ”

"Come on in!" Lin Zaishan immediately welcomed the five girls into the command room, couldn't wait to check the design drawings of their Star Soul Matrix energy batteries, and ordered Lin Fuzi: "Verify the feasibility of the design immediately!" ”

Lin Fuzi quickly replied: "There are 3 technical loopholes, and the overall feasibility is about 46%. ”

"What?" The women thought they were 100% sure, but they didn't know that it was so low, and they all blushed.

Lin Zaishan quickly analyzed the three vulnerabilities, added his own technical compensation plan, and asked Lin Fuzi to re-verify it, and the result was that the overall feasibility was 76%.

"Ladies, your ideas are very good, and I am so grateful......"

"But what?" Xiao Sa intercepted the conversation.

"No, but, I'll start designing this Star Soul Matrix Energy Battery right away, Xu Yuxin is on the side to assist, and a few of you are standing guard outside the door, and no one is allowed to come and disturb."

"Okay." The other four women immediately went out and blocked the hallway.

Lin Zaishan glanced at Xu Yuxin solemnly, "Let's start now, you must keep up with the rhythm." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, since I was a child, others have dragged me back."

Lin Zaishan took Xu Yuxin into his star soul world and went all out to design the star soul matrix energy battery. Time passes more slowly here, making it best suited for work that is against the clock; However, due to various reasons such as the huge energy consumption, they cannot stay here for too long, nor can they enter frequently in a short period of time.

//////

At this time, Zhiyangyang and Zhao Feiyan came to the command room where Lin Zaishan was.

Seeing this, Xiao Sa smiled and said to Su Ya: "Ha, someone has come to give you gifts and greetings." ”

Zhiyang Yang has been tested by life and death for a long time in the past few years, and his psychological quality and treatment of people and things have made great progress, and he is no longer as nervous as before when he sees a beautiful woman. He nodded politely at the women, his gaze resting on Su Ya, "Hello everyone." Teacher Zhao and I have an urgent matter to meet with Captain Lin. ”

"Lin Zaishan just ordered that no one should disturb him." Xiao Sa was the substitute captain of the Tianqin Women's League when Xu Yuxin was absent.

"But......" Zhiyang Yang is confident that with his friendship with Lin Zaishan, the latter will definitely not refuse to meet.

"But what? Hurry away and don't delay the big thing! Su Ya suddenly reprimanded twice, and immediately made Zhiyangyang red-faced and retreated again and again.

"What the hell is Captain Lin busy with? You know, our affairs are also very important. Zhao Feiyan stepped forward and faced the girls, she was not a wise sheep, so she would not be frightened by the words of a few beautiful girls.

"We don't know about this, wait for our boss Xu Yuxin to come out later, and then you can go in." Xiao Sa blocked the door and didn't let an inch.

"It turns out that Xu Yuxin is inside." Zhao Feiyan showed a trace of displeasure on her face, this Xu Yuxin had taught her before the end of the world, and she had taken her "Principles of Intelligent Machinery", and she only attended once in the whole semester, but the paper test and practical operation were full marks. In the end, she failed her course, citing an absenteeism rate of more than a third.

Zhao Feiyan couldn't bear the displeasure and was about to pull Zhiyang aside to discuss the matter, but found that the latter was making great efforts to offer courtesy to Su Ya.

"Miss Su, this is a pack of imitation chocolate-flavored snacks, please smile." Zhiyang Yang really started giving gifts again.

Su Ya deliberately said with a straight face: "How can you give people to eat casually these days?" Who knows if there is a slug virus in it? ”

"Absolutely nothing! This box of snacks is made by personally collecting materials from 7 kinds of plants, purifying them and going through 12 processes. There are absolutely no viruses. ”

"Then you eat a piece yourself." Su Ya unceremoniously opened the package of plant leaves, and randomly selected a piece of snack and threw it to Zhiyangyang, who obediently ate it on the spot.

The bag of snacks smells fragrant and has a delicate and gorgeous shape, which can attract the attention of girls, which shows that Zhiyang Yang has indeed worked hard.

Su Ya thought that Zhiyangyang would not hurt herself, so she comfortably picked up a piece of snack and put it in her mouth, and praised: "It tastes good, thank you." ”

Zhiyang Yang smiled, and he was a hundred times happier than a primary school student who was praised by the teacher.

The women immediately rushed up and grabbed the snacks.

In the next few minutes, Betes, Jiang Wei, Frits, Schwaronsen and others came one after another, and Lin Zaishan's command room was a lively scene.

Xiao Sa hurriedly reminded everyone to be quiet.

//////

Half an hour later, Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin returned to the real world. The former said: "Master Lin, the prototype of the Star Soul Matrix Energy Battery has been successfully designed, you can immediately install it on the protective net to test its performance." ”

This Star Soul Matrix Energy Battery is composed of 128 Star Soul elements, has no fixed shape or volume, and can be added to any electromagnetic machinery and biological organism. Lin Fuzi's choice is a Titan mecha. Soon, the first Star Soul Matrix energy battery was successfully installed.

Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin stared nervously at the energy overload index information, and after a few seconds, a miracle happened: the overload index, which had already reached 189%, magically dropped to 139%.

"Hah, it works!" Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin high-fived each other. "Lin Fuzi, immediately make this kind of battery in batches according to the same model!"

"Yes."

The manufacturing time of such a battery is about 35 minutes. Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin can only make 1 each at a time, while Lin Fuzi can start work on 10 at the same time. As long as the second batch of batteries is successfully produced and installed, the energy overload problem of the protective net will be basically solved.

Lin and Xu had long been aware of the movement outside the command room, but in the current situation, the battery was the top priority, so they didn't care about anything else.

After another 35 minutes, the second batch of Star Soul Matrix energy batteries were successfully installed, and the overload index suddenly dropped below 5%, the already precarious protective network was finally stabilized, and the members of the network were no longer unconscious due to energy overload. As long as the protective net is in place, it can provide sustainable security protection for Midtown, and Midtown has the time and conditions to calmly deal with the curse of the fire thief slaughtering the city.

//////

The door of the command room opened from the inside, and Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin were full of spring breeze.

Schwarronsen teased: "Ha, old friend of Zalin, how busy are you with the important things of the beauty?" ”

"A great success!" Lin Zaishan replied beautifully, "Xu Yuxin is really smart, extraordinary, and promising. ”

Zhao Feiyan hurriedly said: "Captain Lin, Zhiyangyang and I have worked together to design a set of plans to deal with the energy overload of the protective net, please review it." ”

Before Lin Zaishan could answer, Schwarronsen also said: "It's a coincidence, Lao Fu and I also thought of a plan. ”

"Huh? Really? Let's tell us about each of them. "Although the problem of energy overload of the protective net has been initially solved, for Lin Zaishan, there are never too many solutions to deal with the overload.

Zhao Feiyan said: "If I guess correctly, the previous strategy of the protective net to deal with lightning and other things was mainly to guide it underground, which does not completely eliminate the problem of overload, and it is a huge waste of energy. We don't have to fight against destructive energies like thunder and lightning, but we can actually use them actively. Zhiyang's idea and I are to drain the lightning and other energy borne by the protective net to the crystal power supply plant, mecha workshop, and heavy machinery as much as possible, and drive these equipment and facilities to work. This can consume a lot of energy productively. ”

"Great idea!" Lin Zaishan praised loudly that he had not considered enough of Zhao Feiyan and Zhiyangyang's plan before.

Zhao Feiyan continued: "Not only that, but we can also manage to channel these powerful energies to weapons such as laser cannons, and then keep attacking the insect swarm outside the city. ”

"That's a good idea, but Midtown doesn't have a weapon that can absorb the energy of the universe at the moment." Lin pondered in the mountains.

Xu Yuxin suddenly suggested: "As long as the concentric protective net is transformed, can't it be used as a weapon with super energy-absorbing attributes?" ”

Lin Zaishan shook his head, "The concentric protective network is based on the foundation of positive energy elements such as compassion and benevolence, and the so-called love is not attacking, if you add attack attributes, it will seriously weaken its defensive ability, and even easily lead to collapse." ”

Zhiyang Yang interjected: "If that's the case, then we can use the Titan Mecha and the like to create a special offensive weapon like this, so that it and the concentric protective network can operate independently of each other. ”

"Yes. The first of your recommendations will be implemented immediately, and the second will be until you have devised such a weapon. ”

"Teacher Lin, our Tianqin Women's Group is willing to participate in the design of this weapon." Xu Yuxin is now excited when she hears that there is a need for creative design.

"Okay, I'll leave this task to you."

Zhiyangyang, Zhao Feiyan, and the members of the Tianqin Women's Group left happily.

Lin Zaishan turned his gaze to Schwarronsen and Fritsch, "What is the plan of the two old friends?" ”

"Our plan is simple, can't you command those two clouds of electric mist? Why not move them over Midtown to assist in the defense. Since they're electric mist, it shouldn't be a problem to at least absorb some electric shocks for Midtown, right? ”

"Oops!" Lin Zaishan patted his head, "I have to think about too many things, and I actually forgot about this." I'll order it now! ”

In just a few minutes, two clouds of electric mist came over Midtown. They saw the lightning and thunder, like a pony that had been hungry for three days when it saw hay, and rushed over, "eating and drinking" and enjoying it.

Lin Zaishan breathed a sigh of relief happily and asked Beters and Jiang Wei: "Why are you looking for me?" ”

Betters was worried, "The intelligent plants outside the city have suffered casualties under the triple blow of strong winds, torrential rain, and thunder, and the damage is still expanding. If left unchecked, they will be wiped out in three days at most, and Midtown will lose an important barrier against the Zerg. ”

Schwarronsen interjected, "Since these dryads don't feel good outside the city, why don't you just put them in the city and hide inside the protective net?" They walk on their own anyway, right? ”

"You can't put it in the city." Betus hurriedly shook his head, "These intelligent plants are very territorial and aggressive, if they are released into the city, they will treat the city as their own territory, and attack other species inside, including us humans. ”

"Can't you restrain them?" Schwarronsen scoffed, "I thought you were their boss." ”

"I'm like a gardener or a guide to them. They are willing to accept my arrangement in most cases, but this does not mean unconditional obedience. Mess with them, but they'll get out of hand. Imagine how much damage tens of thousands of rampaging trees would do to Midtown! ”

"Gee, that's a big problem." Schwarronsen frowned. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Zaishan at the same time.
