Chapter 527: Where the Value Is
In a separate hall in Base 2, Chu Jungui was standing in front of a rectangular box, a little nervous and a little expectant.
The halls are specially arranged to isolate as much as possible from the planet's surface environment. The floor is covered with arm-thick cables that power the box.
This is the space teleporter specially sent by Duan Xuyan, which is said to have been designed and manufactured by Dr. Zero himself. Chu Jungui originally wanted to arrange it in the orbital station, but found that the energy supply of the orbital station was insufficient, so he moved it to the planetary base.
The inside of the box is hollow, and as the operation accelerates, a bright light gradually lights up inside. The light grew stronger, followed by some looming ripples, all distorted under the ripples.
After a dazzling bright light, a hazy colored light was stirred up on the surface of Chu Jungui's battle armor, and warnings flashed in his field of vision, showing that there was an extremely strong radiation impact.
As the light dissipated, several neatly stacked crates appeared in the space teleporter. These boxes are actually as thin as a film, clinging tightly to the cargo inside.
Chu Jungui casually picked up a cargo box on it, but he stumbled and almost fell. This small box, which looks only half a meter square, is actually more than 5 tons.
Chu Jungui was overjoyed, and forcefully put the box on the ground and carefully checked the instructions on the outer packaging. With a gravity of over 40 alone, this box is extraordinary.
The box was marked with iron, but not ordinary iron, but a heavy isotope of iron. This box of heavy iron is much more expensive than gold and is an essential material for many high-performance alloys.
Several other small chests also contain a variety of rare cotopic elements. Together, these dozen or so small boxes allow Chu Jungui to produce a small half of high-performance alloys.
It seems that Dr. Zero is really interested in this side, and the first batch of supplies sent are the materials that Chu Jungui urgently needs. These are the parent elements, which are necessary additives to the alloy material, although the volume is only a few cubic meters, but when fully utilized, thousands of tons of various alloys can be produced, enough to build a small or medium-sized starship.
Of course, the price of these materials is not low, Chu Jungui's original debt is less than 4 billion, but after receiving this batch of materials, it immediately soared to 4.5 billion.
Dr. Zero didn't cheat Chu Jungui, and all he gave was the market price of the dynasty, and the huge amount of energy required for teleportation was not counted. If you calculate carefully, the shipping cost alone is about the same as the price of the goods themselves.
In the cargo box, there is also a palm-sized sheet.
Chu Jungui picked up the thin slice and pressed it according to the instructions above, and his finger belly was punctured, and a drop of blood flowed out. This drop of blood was quickly absorbed by the thin sheet, and then a ray of light shot out from the thin sheet, and Dr. Zero appeared in front of Chu Jungui.
Dr. Zero is still meticulous, dressed in a neat lab coat and wearing old-fashioned glasses that are somewhat outdated. He glanced around, then looked at Chu Jungui and said, "It seems that you are doing a good job here." ”
"Are you the doctor himself or a message?" asked Chu Jungui. The doctor's reaction didn't feel like a rigid message.
The doctor smiled and said, "You can think of me as myself, to be exact, me from 3 hours ago. I copied all my memories into this communicator, so there was only a slight difference from myself, which was negligible. Wait until the next time you send the communicator back, and I'll know what's going on here, like I've been there. ”
"Won't this cause psychological disorder?" asked Chu Jungui.
"Others are possible, and I certainly won't. In fact, human self-perception is one of the key areas of my research in recent years, and data that can cause cognitive disorders are identified and processed separately. After Dr. Zero explained, he continued, "I naturally took some risks when I came here this time, for example, if this communicator falls into the hands of others, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome. Now I'll give you a blueprint, and you can help me build a temporary body first. ”
Dr. Zero's image sent a design drawing, and when Chu Jungui saw it, he shook his head and said, "The design of this structure is too sophisticated, and it can't be used on this planet at all. As soon as you leave this hall, most of the parts of this body will be destroyed. In fact, not even this communicator can leave this hall. ”
Dr. Zero looked a little surprised, he looked around again, and said, "Seeing these precautions, it seems that what you said has some point. Can I connect to the mastermind here?"
"Yes, I'll arrange an interface. Chu Jungui left the hall and returned a moment later, bringing back a personal terminal, connected to a communicator containing the doctor's consciousness.
The Doctor's image was slightly blurry, and the energy consumption of the entire base suddenly increased, and then slowly fell back.
The Doctor's image reappeared, saying, "You have a lot of good things here, the Fog Clan and that, well, Le Mans crystals, both have the value of in-depth research. That's how you let me know these secrets?"
Chu Jungui said: "There will be more and more people who know, not to mention that in your eyes, these are probably not real secrets." ”
Dr. Zero shook his head and said, "You still don't understand the value of these two secrets, they deserve a war for them. Of course, their value was not yet great enough for the dynasty and the federation to fight as they do now. However, it is not them that are the most valuable on this planet. ”
"What's that?" Chu Jungui didn't feel that he had anything to ignore.
"You. Dr. Zero pointed at Chu Jungui.
"I??" Chu Jungui looked at himself and didn't feel how valuable he was. This body of meat does not taste much higher in calories than the meat of war beasts. According to Kaitian's words, it is just a bunch of organic matter aggregates, what is there to be proud of.
"That's you. Dr. Zero emphasized, but did not intend to explain. The doctor projected a hologram of the base in front of him, saying, "This base is well built, but the main bottleneck is that there are not enough people. Soon you will have no one available, in fact there are not many people who can maneuver now. Judging from the information you have accumulated about the war beasts, the current defense of the base is still very weak, and more manpower needs to be added to defend the posts. ”
Chu Jungui has actually been faintly worried, but now people are needed everywhere, and the base of the Federation has been uprooted by war beasts, and it was originally regarded as a reserve base for personnel by Chu Jungui.
"The phased solution to the shortage of manpower is to increase computing power. Your idea of the bio-brain architecture is very good, and the structure of Prometheus is very advanced, which restricts the performance of the biochip itself. I've made some improvements to the original design and the performance is 4 times better, which can be called a second-generation biochip. The doctor said.
