Chapter 602 Infrastructure Matters
"It's amazing!" Stand up Nathan. Goode looked at his raised hands, spread his arms and spread out in a daze. After being implanted with cold energy and completely freed from the frozen pain just now, he not only felt cute at this moment, but also felt a wonderful realm.
As if everything is empty, the surrounding cold energy is like a huge whirlpool, each of which can be used by Nathan. Goode was aware of it, and when he sensed these cold energies, he felt a sense of awe from his heart, awe of this unknown mysterious existence that was the complete opposite of thermal energy.
"Let's see if you can absorb the cold energy." At this moment, Ike's unfazed voice came from his side, and Nathan. Goode couldn't help but close his eyes and feel the cold energy.
"It really can!" Soon he opened his eyes again and cried out in surprise, "I feel my hunger go away!" ”
"That's the implantation was successful." Ike looked away from Nathan with a blank face. Goode moved away, and then looked at everyone, "Next, it's Pufei's turn." ”
"Okay." The "Prophet" nodded, and he lay down on the ground calmly, and the crowd began to work nervously again. Goode still looked excited, as if he was experiencing the wonderful feeling that cold energy brought to people.
Ike then gave Puffy the implantation of cold energy, which lasted about twenty minutes. Goode had a lot more difficulty. Pufe seemed to be near-living, especially when he was lying motionless on the ground. Everyone thought he was going to fail, but Puffey managed to survive.
"Implantation successful." Ike watched indifferently as Puffey got up from the ground, and then looked at the rest of the dozen. That calm look sent chills through everyone's hearts, "Next, Lis." ”
One name after another came out of Ike's mouth, and he continued to implant cold energy for people, and when night fell, finally, the cold energy of the last person was successfully implanted.
That's right. All of them have been implanted with cold energy, and they have become non-humans who can directly absorb cold energy from the zero temperature environment without eating. The average absorption rate of this cold energy is about 0.341 kL/s, and "L" is about the same unit as "J" (joules) in heat energy.
"It seems that the situation is much better than expected. Not a single person died as a result. Ike glanced at the dozens of people in front of him, and through the cold energy sensing device of the nano biochemical suit, he could feel that these people were deliberately absorbing cold energy at this time, using it as an energy supply for the body.
"Ahh I don't feel that hungry anymore. Acatez couldn't help but touch his stomach. Then he felt that his action was very 2 to 2, so he picked up his hand in a daze.
"That way, we can survive for the time being." Ike looked at them and said, "However, it should be noted that cold absorption is only a stopgap measure for now, and after we escape from here, you will still have to eat often, otherwise it will cause physical harm." ”
"What kind of damage?" Saiko couldn't help but ask.
"It can cause deterioration of gastric function. The digestive systems of the body are abnormal or even inactive, even though the cells in these areas have enough energy to replenish them. "Nathan. Goode explained. "And once there is a problem in one part of the body, it will radiate to the whole body, which means that there is even a direct threat of death. In addition, there is a certain chance of suffering from cold energy backlash. ”
"It's horrible." Sai Ke couldn't help but pout, and then stopped taking the initiative to absorb the cold energy, "But as long as it doesn't take long, there shouldn't be any problem." ”
"Of course."
"That's a good feeling...... Wait, isn't that any different from Ceph! Saiko said in amazement, as if he had suddenly discovered something.
"You just found out ......" Tara. Strykran was speechless.
"That's the only way to survive." Ike raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop talking and listen to him, "Next, it's time for us to set up a base." ”
What is the establishment method? This is a common question in everyone's minds, after all, on such a planet that is completely frozen by cold energy, not to mention finding a usable base, even if it is the materials used to build a base, they can't find it at all; What's more, even if there are materials, but there are no mechanized auxiliary equipment, just these dozens of people can't figure anything out at all.
"The main project of building the base is still entrusted to me." Ike said something that surprised everyone with a blank face, and he repeated, "That's right, I'll leave the main work to myself, don't waste time asking me, you just need to know that I can do it." ”
Hearing Ike say this, everyone couldn't help frowning, but out of trust in him, they didn't say anything, and they agreed with this for the time being.
"So what do we have to do?" Pu Fei asked with a listening expression.
"You're responsible for finding usable construction materials." Ike thought about it, as if to make it clear to everyone, and he began to explain further, "I need the kind of complete ice that is wrapped in cold energy, the kind that can't be destroyed even with cold laser guns and plasma rifles, and you need to look for this kind of thing and carry it here." ”
In this environment of absolute zero temperature, cold energy ice can be used as an engineering material, and its toughness and stability are not inferior to those of superalloys used by humans.
Saiko's task is to collect such solid ice, which is also a very difficult project, even if dozens of people are carrying out such a collection work at the same time, the workload of each person is no less than that of Ike who is about to use the "grinding gun" skill to build a base by himself.
"I think I get it, but how do we get the ice down?" Norman asked again, "Since this thing can't even penetrate the beam of the plasma rifle, how can it cut it, and how to find this kind of ice?" ”
"In search of ice, you need to try it little by little with a cold laser gun. Don't worry about ammo, as Ceph's weapons automatically draw cold energy from the environment to replenish ammo, although they will recover faster if the user infuses it directly. Ike said as he took some items out of his spatial backpack, "As for cutting, there's this. ”
As he spoke, a large pile of square metal objects fell to the ground, what looked like a tiger ring, about the size of an adult's fist.
"What is this?" Arcatez looked at the ground suspiciously.
"Linear Cutter." And those who know the goods can see at a glance what this is, Lockhart immediately exclaimed in some surprise, "It can fire a persistent matrix cutting beam, which can easily cut off almost everything, and the temporary launch mode is more powerful, one of the standard weapons of the Zoomlion Marine Special Forces." ”
"How could you have such a thing, Ike." Lockhart looked at Ike with a bright face, and he felt that he was about to raise the impression of this Chinese person in his mind to a higher level.
"Don't forget, I'm an arms dealer." A rare smile appeared on Ike's expressionless face, "The 'Shipbreaker Munitions' are all available for everything, as long as you have enough money. They use cold energy as an energy source, so they don't have to worry about energy shortages at all. ”
This linear cutter was naturally encountered by Ike when he was at East Point, and in fact, he bought it on the black * market even earlier, when he was an elite cosmic mercenary. The Linear Cutter is very good at performing and is often used by special operators to deal with alien creatures or perform special missions, but it also has the obvious disadvantage that it consumes more energy.
However, at this time, these linear cutters piled up on the ground can use cold energy as an energy source, and in this planet or even galaxy that has been completely assimilated into "absolute zero", cold energy is almost inexhaustible, so this only shortcoming has disappeared.
"Using cold energy as an energy source?" Lockhart's eyes flashed with doubt, but he wisely didn't ask much.
Cold energy is still in the research and exploration of human beings, how can Zoomlion's linear cutter use cold energy as an energy source? In fact, these linear cutters were all made by Ike, so naturally he adopted the new cold energy absorption technology he had only recently mastered using nano-biochemical suits.
Without using the analysis of "Saiko", Ike directly built the linear cutter from his own memory and reasoning, and in a way, this is another realm of the skill of "grinding the gun", after the last time he built the PR-1500 and mass-produced it.
"Okay, I think you already know the specifics." After explaining everything, Ike looked at everyone holding the linear cutter in his hand, "From this night on, carry out the mining business, act!" ”
PS: It's the kind in Dead Space, and of course I've expanded the power. (To be continued......)
