165 Defects in the Furnace Plan
Chu Zixue said that in the end, his tone became gloomy and compassionate.
But unexpectedly, he didn't see the expected shock on Lupin's face.
"Indeed." Lupin nodded, "I've thought about this since the first time I saw the Undead...... Although the transcendents are called transcendent, whether it is mechanical or genetic modification, science can still explain it! However, the infinite growth of the undead directly violates the basic laws of physics, which is really a bit unscientific!
"Science should be a rigorous and self-consistent system, like a tower built by a matchstick, interlocking, if there is a phenomenon that does not conform to the law in a place, it is easy to derive other unscientific things - such as infinite energy, or perpetual motion machine!"
"Yes, but who can tell whether the subject is scientific or not." Chu Zixue shook his head slightly, "I believe that anything that seems unscientific is just because we don't know enough about it!" As they continue to develop, sooner or later they will also be clarified and eventually incorporated into the scientific category. Even the gods and gods of the god lord are weird...... I believe that it is the same, there must be a scientific truth, and there must be a way to defeat them completely, but we don't know it yet! ”
"Maybe." Lupin nodded, not saying much.
But in his heart, he still agrees with this point of view.
"Let's go back to the Crucible Project, then." Lupin asked, "If the failed undead are everywhere in the sea, why doesn't the Crystal Palace make good use of these 'living energy veins', but instead go to the trouble of extracting those oil and gas combustible ice?" ”
"The Melting Pot Project, it's not as easy to use as you think......" Chu Zixue showed a look of reminiscence, "In addition to the Crystal Palace, I have also followed the teacher to several other strongholds of the Yu Duan Organization, and the places where this way is used to obtain energy all have common characteristics.
"The environment can become foul and pungent! Even if the corpses of the undead are burned out, it seems that some unknown components will be discharged, making the entire environment stench that will not dissipate for a long time...... Even in the water, it didn't work, and in the days when the Crystal Palace used a furnace to generate electricity, the air inside each undersea house was extremely unpleasant, and occasionally swallowing a drop of seawater, you would be so nauseous that you wanted to vomit.
"Another reason is that it's not very efficient...... Although the human body is combustible, it is not an ideal fuel, burning slowly and inadequately...... There is also a cost to building and maintaining a furnace, so this mode of power generation cannot be carried out on a large scale.
"Another reason is that although the undead can't theoretically be killed by the furnace, there is a limit to the soul's endurance! Burning in the furnace is unimaginable, and many of the undead will suddenly be unable to regenerate one day, completely turning into ashes, and their souls will be shattered and dissolved, leaving only a few residues. ”
"I see." Lupin suddenly said, "It seems that this is indeed a power generation measure that can only be used as an emergency measure." ”
"The above items are just technical shortcomings, but in fact, the most important reason is...... We are people! Chu Zixue suddenly added.
Lu Ping blinked and looked at the villain of Chu Zixue in the preview interface.
"Because we are human beings, we can't accept this way...... The undead eat and drink blood, exploit the poor, mutilate the innocent, they deserve to die ten thousand times! But it is still too inhumane to put it in a furnace and repeatedly burn it to generate electricity......
"Can you imagine? In the towering furnaces, human-like creatures howl silently, and pillars of smoke rise into the sky, like devils...... You haven't seen that scene, but I've seen that living in that environment, in that kind of city, for a long time, some people can even become neurotic.
"The undead, they are not human, they can ignore the bottom line and moral code of mankind, but we can't. The darker the world, the more we must guard the remaining candlelight, and if the candlelight is extinguished, then what is the difference between us and the immortal. ”
After Chu Zixue finished speaking, he seemed to be caught in some kind of memory and kept silent.
Lupin shrugged his shoulders and silently put him to sleep.
Naturally, there is some truth in Chuzi's theory, but Lupin does not fully agree with it.
An enemy is an enemy! When his life is not threatened, he may be humane, but when his own survival is in question, he is cruel or not.
There must be many people who think like Lu Ping, and the supreme commander of the Crystal Palace, Zhu Mei, the Red Jiao King, is one of them!
Otherwise, the reopening of the furnace would not have been announced at this time.
The next time is to lay out some detailed division of labor for the furnace plan.
The site selection of the furnace, the delivery of accelerant oxygen, the construction of the power grid, etc., are all responsible for the special person...... And the task of the transcendents of the Crystal Palace is very simple, that is, to catch the undead!
The higher the number of transformations, the faster the body will regenerate, and the corresponding higher power generation efficiency...... Therefore, according to the level of the undead captured by the transcendents, the Crystal Palace will give different amounts of bonuses.
If you turn an immortal, you will be rewarded with 100,000 crystal coins if you capture one alive.
For the second turn of the undead, capture one alive and reward 500,000 crystal coins.
Three turns of the undead, capture one alive and reward 1 million crystal coins!
The Four-Turn Undead...... Don't mess with it.
Today's Crystal Palace itself is in an existential crisis, and she can't afford to cause more trouble, although Zhu Mei is also a four-turn immortal, she is not capable of killing an immortal of the same level, and at most she will try to expel ...... And if the other party is bent on destroying the Crystal Palace and preying on ordinary citizens, she can play a limited role in protection.
"The mission is to capture the undead alive?" Lupin was slightly happy in his heart, isn't this a good time for him to make money?
He wanted to buy the Gene Potion in the Crystal Palace online mall, and he needed a lot of Crystal Coins.

In many of the buildings of the Crystal Palace, the pillars at the bottom begin to slowly rotate into the rock formations of the seabed, holding themselves firmly in place.
About ten kilometers away, there is a bottomless crack in the seabed.
A large amount of seawater came in from all directions, and then it suddenly turned sharply, and all of it poured into the cracks.
The speed is so fast that under the action of geostrophic deflection force, it even presents a spiral-shaped translucent trajectory, like an invisible vortex.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
This vortex does not exist forever, but suddenly appears for a while, and then disappears for a long time.
The interval between the two changes even reaches half an hour.
A sulfur-bearing mineral rock formed by magma not far away was already loose, and at a certain moment, it suddenly broke under the erosion of water flow again and again.
A rock about 5 meters in diameter, like a large stone ball, rolled against the bottom of the sea towards the crack.
When it rolled into the crack and met those translucent spiral water tracks, suddenly, as if it had been shredded by some invisible blade, it turned into more than a dozen pieces the size of a millstone in an instant!
The pieces swirled and fell deeper into the depths, grinding into smaller pieces by the transparent stream of water, and eventually, before they disappeared into the darkness at the bottom of the crack, the largest piece was no larger than a baby's fist.
But the cracks that have been silent for many years seem to be awakened by this group of hard and rough uninvited guests.
The spiral of water suddenly disappeared.
