Chapter 12: Connections

Benna's ability has CD time, which isn't really a problem. Even if human beings have been transformed, most of them have certain laws of physics to be found, for example, Zheng Rui thinks that her explanation of "capacitor charging and discharging to form alternating electromagnetic fields" can make sense. And if the entity that caused the "Earth Online Apocalyptic Mod" actually gave the fire control type the ability to continuously emit electromagnetic waves indefinitely, then this would be too strong, causing an imbalance in this "survival game" from another angle.

Of course, Zheng Rui was curious to know if this was a survival game at all, and what the purpose of the entity was in making such a big effort to create something similar to a survival game. But in order to be eligible to continue asking questions, she must first ensure her own safety - and now she may have to bring Miss Benna's safety.

So the next question, what is the exergation time and CD time of the fire control type?

Again, it was a design experiment and a somewhat boring execution. Compared with qualitative experiments, which have all kinds of unexpected possibilities, quantitative experiments, although more scientific, are – in Zheng Rui's eyes – always inevitably carry a little ingenuity. This idea may have something to do with the fact that she often had bugs in her sophomore year in biochemistry lab classes, but now the test of Benna's release time and CD time does not seem to be going well.

In other words, the maximum discharge time and complete CD time of Bian Na as a fire control type are very stable, the maximum discharge time maintained at maximum power is 10±1s, and the full CD time is 33±1s, which has not changed significantly even after increasing training. It seems that the entity that "bestowed" humans with abilities in this regard has done some delicate work.

If the charging and discharging time is not correlated with the power capacity, then it is easy to carry out experiments to improve the power of training. And Bian Na is really a professional accountant, once she gets started, she can do these quantitative things faster than Zheng Rui. The two used flashlights to "pick up the lights and fight at night" until 23:00, and Bian Na had learned to design a table for quantitative experiments and make follow-up experimental records.

And now it's time to go to bed.

In the darkness, Zheng Rui first touched the position of the leather chair leaning against the proprietress in the counter where she usually lies, and then thought for a while, but said to Bian Na: "Why don't you sleep here...... There's a counter in the way, aren't you afraid of aliens? ”

Bian Na was still looking for a place, but when she said this, she sat down directly between the two shelves: "No, I found a place." It's also quite safe between shelves. ”

Zheng Rui guessed that she still wanted to keep the place where she was used to sleeping, but in principle, it was no different where she slept anywhere, and there was no bed anyway, so she didn't say anything: "Then let's do it." Thinking of something again, he said in a joking tone, "Haha, I said before that I would take turns sleeping." ”

Who knew that Bian Na immediately said: "It's okay to take turns to sleep, you're tired today, why don't I be on duty first?" ”

"Don't mind." Zheng Rui hurriedly said, "Let's sleep together, anyway, sleeping in this kind of place, if something comes in, you can hear it clearly, and it is not practical to be on duty." ”

"yes, that's fine." Bian Na also sounded sleepy, so she didn't shirk it and just agreed.

After these few hours of getting along, she basically understands that although Zheng Rui's brain circuits sometimes don't look like normal people, she really has something to say, and she doesn't have the careful thinking of girls in gender stereotypes.

In fact, Bian Na doesn't think Zheng Rui is very reliable, but she can't help but want to believe her, because she is indeed very real - at least more real than her ex-boyfriend who pretends to be, as if she is thinking about the overall situation, but in fact she is just trying to trick other people's little security guards into going out on errands.

——

A lot happened that day, and Zheng Rui fell asleep quickly.

She had a dream – which is not uncommon, in fact there is always a REM period during a sleep cycle of about 1.5 hours, during which she dreams. But this time the content of her dream seemed a little special, and it felt very real.

The dream wasn't about pork rib soup or anything else, it was like a mock battle.

She was first in a hole beneath the ground, poking her head out to see what appeared to be a savannah outside. At this point, she knew that her enemy was a wolf of the steppe, and she had no shotgun in her hand, only a pair of alien claws.

Then something seemed to appear in front of her eyes, as if she was looking at two visions at the same time, and she also felt that there seemed to be another consciousness in her mind.

Hi? She asked to the consciousness.

Hi...... This consciousness actually responded. Wait, are you Rui?

Zheng Rui: Ah, Sister Na!

Benna: That's weird, you're in my dream?

Zheng Rui: Hmm...... You're in my dreams too.

Benna: Oh?

Zheng Rui: Hey, what's going on? I think it's just a special scene of a dream, I imagined it myself—don't worry about it for now, there's a wolf over there!

Benna: Where? I can't see......

Zheng Rui: It's in my field of vision - I can see your field of vision, can't you see mine? From your point of view, it looks like you're on the other side of that hill......

Benna: I really can't see your vision...... Oh, I saw a wolf!

Zheng Rui: Wait...... I imagined a map, can you see it?

Benna: Huh? Oh, see, hahaha, this mountain is so ugly.

Zheng Rui: You can see the dynamic position I marked, which is the position of the wolf I saw.

Benna: Well, I also marked what I saw.

Zheng Rui: So I don't have to look at your field of vision - it's like playing a game and watching a teammate's screen cheat, hahahaha.

Benna: Huh? Can't you look at your teammates' screens when playing games?

Zheng Rui: How can I do that? - Sister Na, be careful, the wolves are going to your side. Wait, you just don't move there, I'll come around and flank you......

Benna: Why are you a five-pointed star on the map, so cute.

Zheng Rui: Of course, I'm a party member...... Look at my double knives! That one, hey, don't come over there—hey, it doesn't hurt at all in my dreams......

Benna: Hahahaha, hahahaha, no, I'm laughing to death......

Zheng Rui: Hey, don't do it like this and look good, you can attack head-on!

Benna: Huh? What- oh...... Huh? This CD is too long, isn't it...... Ahhh Don't bite me!

Zheng Rui: Hahaha, Sister Na, you also have today-look at my double knife! Hey, where's my knife? Where did it go? Wait until I'll find a knife...... This alien claw is sharp, it's too slippery to grasp, and it will have to be processed when the time comes...... Oh, here is it—Sister Na? Sister Na, are you still there?

In the dream, Bian Na's consciousness suddenly dropped from Zheng Rui's mind, and Zheng Rui woke up suddenly, but heard the sound of Bian Na sitting up between the shelves.
