Chu Zixue's tone turned gloomy until the end.
But unexpectedly, he didn't see the expected shock on Lupine's face.
"Indeed." Lupine nodded, "I have thought about this issue since the first time I saw the undead... Although extraordinary people are called extraordinary, science can still explain whether it is mechanical or genetic modification! But the undead are like this This kind of infinite growth directly violates the basic laws of physics and is really unscientific!
“Science should be a rigorous and self-consistent system, just like a tall tower built with matchsticks, interconnected. If phenomena that do not conform to the rules occur in one place, other unscientific things can easily be derived - such as Infinite energy, or perpetual motion!”
"Yes, but who can tell whether it is scientific or not?" Chu Zixue shook his head slightly, "I do believe that anything that seems unscientific is just because we don't understand it enough! As we continue to develop, sooner or later they will It will be explained clearly and eventually brought into the category of science. Even the gods and monsters of the God Lord... I believe it is the same. There must be scientific reasons for it, and there must be a way to completely defeat them, but we don't know it yet!"
"Maybe." Lupine nodded and said nothing more.
But deep down, he still agrees with this point of view.
"Then let's go back to the furnace plan." Lu Ping asked again, "Since failed undead can be seen everywhere in the sea, why doesn't the Crystal Palace make good use of these 'living energy veins' instead of laboriously mining oil, natural gas and flammable ice?"
"The Melting Pot Project is not as useful as you think..." Chu Zixue showed a recalling look, "In addition to the Crystal Palace, I also followed the teacher to several other strongholds of the Yujin organization, where this method is used to obtain energy. , all have common characteristics.
"The environment will become stinky and pungent! Even if the corpse of the undead is burned out, it seems that it will emit some unknown ingredients, making the entire environment smelly and unable to dissipate for a long time... It is useless even if it is in the water. It was used by the Crystal Palace back then On days when the furnace is generating electricity, the air in every underwater house smells extremely bad. If you accidentally swallow a drop of seawater, you will feel so sick that you want to vomit.
"Another reason is that the efficiency of generating electricity in this way is actually not high... Although the human body is flammable, it is not an ideal fuel. It burns slowly and insufficiently... and there are costs in building and maintaining furnaces, so this power generation model It cannot be deployed on a large scale.
"There is another reason. Although the undead cannot be killed by the furnace in theory, there is a limit to what the soul can endure! After being burned repeatedly in the furnace, the pain accumulated over time is unimaginable. In fact, many undead will suddenly become unable to survive one day. They were reborn and completely turned into ashes, and their souls were shattered and disintegrated at some point, leaving only some residue."
"So that's it." Lu Ping suddenly realized, "It seems that this is indeed a power generation measure that can only be used as an emergency measure."
"The above mentioned are just technical shortcomings, but in fact, the most important reason is... we are human beings!" Chu Zixue suddenly added.
Lu Ping blinked and looked at the Chu Zixue villain on the preview interface.
"Because we are human beings, we cannot accept this method... The undead eat people and drink blood, exploit the poor, and kill innocent people. They deserve to die ten thousand times! But repeatedly burning them in a furnace to generate electricity is still too inhumane. Already...
"Can you imagine? In the towering furnaces, human-like creatures are howling silently, and pillars of thick smoke rise into the sky, claws and teeth like devils... You have never seen that scene, but I have. However, after living in such an environment and such a city for a long time, some people may even become neurotic.
"The undead are not human beings. They can ignore the bottom line and moral principles of mankind, but we can't. The darker the world becomes, the more we must guard the remaining candlelight and move forward cautiously. If the candlelight goes out, then we will not be able to do anything. What difference does it make between the dead?"
Chu Zixue finished speaking in one breath, seeming to be caught in some kind of memory and kept silent.
Lupine shrugged and silently let him fall into a deep sleep.
There is certainly some truth to Chu Zi's theory, but Lu Ping does not completely agree with it.
The enemy is the enemy! When your life is not threatened, you may be humane, but when your own survival is a problem, it doesn't matter whether he is cruel or not.
There must be many people who think like Lu Ping, and the highest commander of the Crystal Palace, Scarlet Dragon King Zhu Mei, is one of them!
Otherwise, the plan to restart the furnace would not have been announced at this time.
The next time is to arrange some details about the furnace plan.
Specialized people are responsible for the construction and site selection of the furnace, the transportation of combustion accelerant oxygen, the construction of the power grid, etc.... And the task of the Crystal Palace Transcendents is very simple, which is to capture the undead!
The higher the number of transformations of the undead, the faster the body will regenerate, and the corresponding power generation efficiency will be higher... Therefore, the Crystal Palace will give different amounts of bonuses according to the level of the undead captured by the extraordinary.
Turn into an immortal and capture one alive to be rewarded with 100,000 crystal coins.
Second-turn undead, if you capture one alive, you will be rewarded with 500,000 crystal coins.
Three-turn undead, if you capture one alive, you will be rewarded with 1 million crystal coins!
The fourth-turn undead...don't mess with them.
Today's Crystal Palace itself is in an existential crisis and cannot afford to cause more trouble. Although Zhu Mei is also a level four undead, she is not capable of killing an undead of the same level. The most she can do is to try to expel... And if the other party is determined, he will Destroying the Crystal Palace and preying on ordinary citizens, the protective role she can play is limited.
"The mission is to capture the undead alive?" Lu Ping was slightly happy. Isn't this a great opportunity for him to make money?
He wanted to purchase the gene potion from the Crystal Palace online store and needed a large amount of crystal coins.

In many buildings in the Crystal Palace, the columns at the bottom began to slowly rotate and drill into the seafloor rock formations, firmly fixing themselves.
About ten kilometers away from here, there is a bottomless crack in the ocean floor.
A large amount of sea water gathered from all directions, and then suddenly turned sharply and poured into the crack.
The speed is so fast that under the action of the geostrophic deflection force, it even shows spiral translucent trajectories, like an invisible vortex.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
This vortex does not always exist, but appears for a while and disappears for a long time.
The time between the two changes is even half an hour.
A piece of sulfur-containing mineral rock formed by magma not far away was already loose. Under the erosion of water flow, it suddenly broke at a certain moment.
A rock about 5 meters in diameter, like a big stone ball, rolled against the seafloor towards the crack.
When it rolled into the crack and encountered those translucent spiral water trails, it suddenly seemed to be chopped up by some invisible blade, and the whole thing instantly turned into more than a dozen pieces the size of a millstone!
These fragments swirled and fell deeper. In the process, they were continuously ground into smaller fragments by the transparent water. Finally, when they disappeared into the darkness at the bottom of the crack, the largest one was no longer there. More than a baby fist.
But the cracks that had been silent for countless years seemed to be awakened by this group of hard and rough uninvited guests.
The spiral water flow suddenly disappeared.
