The final result of the vote was to wait in situ and discuss it again in two months.
This result is actually not beyond most people’s expectations.
Because in the final analysis, the Crystal Palace has always been under the protection of Zhu Mei and has been able to survive in the deep sea full of dangers!
It can also be said that it is thanks to the support of Yujin Organization. There is no difference between the two statements, because Zhu Mei herself is a member of the Yujin organization.
In addition, many people choose to stay because Crystal Palace is facing two new crises.
One is food shortage!
The second is insufficient energy!
First of all, the food inventory in the Crystal Palace has fallen below the one-month red line for national reserves.
In the past, the Crystal Palace was dormant at designated longitude and latitude coordinates. Every one or two months, there was always time to organize and send people to deliver a large amount of canned food puree, compressed biscuits and other storable staple foods, as well as various vitamins and other important supplies. .
But now, because it has deviated from the designated location, and the sea area has been known to the undead in Neptune City, it is impossible to go back, so it can no longer receive support from the Yujin organization. The Crystal Palace must solve the problem of food sources on its own!
Speaking of food, many people naturally think of the two deep sea monsters...
It’s not that they want to eat sea monsters, the Crystal Palace can’t afford to offend them, but since they appear nearby, a reasonable guess is that there should be an ecosystem with abundant food nearby!
The ecosystem is like a pyramid. Only a large enough base can produce the large apex predator at the top.
Many people understand this truth, so they all hope to find that ecosystem and obtain new food sources.
This task naturally falls on the head of the patrol department. Lu Xuejiang, a new official, has been busy with this matter recently.
Lu Ping even had a vague feeling that the Crystal Palace specifically assigned this task to Lu Xuejiang, and perhaps there was a deeper meaning! After all, the two deep-sea monsters were the only one who showed kindness to him. That kind of behavior inevitably made people think that there might be some connection between him and the deep-sea monsters.
This is exactly what Lupine wants to achieve. He has always wanted to cultivate a secret force of his own, and what is more suitable than the Crystal Palace, which is deep under the sea and has no leader? Although it is still uncertain whether Zhu Mei really had an accident, Lu Ping is already taking precautions.
As for the people who will help him take care of this power in the future, naturally they can only be his parents. There is nothing more reassuring than this.
As for the energy crisis, it is actually not as urgent as the food crisis.
Since the Crystal Palace chose to be stationed there, the original eggshell furnace was naturally reactivated.
Theoretically, unlimited energy can be provided by burning the undead.
However, this involves a problem of power generation efficiency. Unlimited does not mean it is enough.
The essence of generating electricity in a furnace is to burn organic matter, and combustion requires oxygen as a combustion accelerant, and the oxygen in the Crystal Palace mainly comes from electrolyzed seawater! This process itself consumes electricity. In addition, there are losses during the recycling collection process.
The difference between output and consumption is the real effective power generation capacity of the furnace plan.
Scientists from the Crystal Palace have calculated... This difference is actually very low, which means that in the entire cycle, most of the energy obtained from burning the undead is lost in the process. The energy actually collected by the Crystal Palace is not many!
This kind of power generation is like a long stream of water. Perhaps only by building thousands of furnaces can it be possible to support the city's basic consumption.
In addition, because burning the body is too painful, there is a chance that the soul of the undead will collapse after repeated burning, and the body will completely die and no longer grow! Thanks to the Shell Giant, there are very few undead wandering in the nearby sea area, and it is not easy to replenish them.
Not to mention that the furnace plan was a stop-gap measure from the beginning. No one wants to live in the disgusting stench of seawater all day long. If this continues, the mental state of the citizens may suffer!
Therefore, the energy structure needs to be transformed urgently.
The task of finding new energy naturally falls on the geological exploration team... On the seabed, the most convenient energy sources are oil and magma, which require the exploration team to slowly search for them.
The energy released by burning oil is much more efficient than burning the body of the undead! Magma represents geothermal energy that can be directly utilized.
So Yu Xin has been very busy recently.
————
Mom and dad are busy with their own things, and Lupine is not idle either.
He acquired a lot of genes in the recent war and needs to be sorted out carefully.
By swallowing the seawater on the battlefield, he obtained the genes of more than 400 different creatures! Of course, there are many repetitions, because many extraordinary injections are actually the same gene potion. For Lupine, the only effect of repeated devouring is to slightly increase the collection percentage of that gene.
As for those genes that were not repeated, many genes were mediocre. After being picked and picked by Luping, they were classified into the category of lower-level genes and folded up.
However, he was a little surprised by a few genes.
Mainly from several genes in Ouyang Fu's recombinant form!
[Obtained 72.4% of the "Dharma Shark" gene...]
[Obtained 68.3% of the "Volta Electric Eel" gene...]
[Obtained 91.2% of the "Adder" gene...]
This was the prompt from the system that swallowed Ouyang Fu at that time.
In addition, there are four other genes, which are relatively less surprising... but these three genes are quite good!
Among them, the "Sharp-nosed Viper" has the highest collection rate. Lu Ping heard its nickname when he was a child in his previous life, "Five-Step Snake". It is said that if a person is poisoned and takes five steps, he will fall to the ground!
Some people say that walking four steps and jumping one step can solve the problem. In fact, it is just a joke. Five steps is just to describe how quickly the poison spreads, and the person who is hit is almost certain to die.
That’s because the fangs of the sharp-nosed adder are long and slender, can penetrate deeply into the body, and detoxify a huge amount! Its venom is a mixture of toxins mainly composed of hemolytic toxins, and is also extremely toxic. It is equivalent to directly using a syringe to push a whole tube of venom deep into the body. It would be strange if the person does not die.
As for the second type of "Volta Electric Eel", although Lupine was not familiar with it, he knew from the name that it should be some kind of electric eel.
This is the first time he has obtained the electric eel gene.
Creatures like electric eels rely on muscles to generate electricity. The flaky muscles are like batteries connected in series.
The characteristic of series connection is that the voltages are directly added. In other words...the longer the electric eel, the higher the discharge voltage!
And body length? This is Lupine's strength. He can load the 11-meter-long Ultra Shark form by himself. If he uses the multiplier function, it can be even longer.
And one arm of the octopus clone is already nine meters long and will continue to grow in the future... And the largest electric eel in the world is probably only two or three meters long!
Lu Ping wanted to know how high the voltage of attack he could unleash once he fully utilized his genes?
Of course he also thought of Zhu Mei - the red dragon she transformed into had obviously some ability to release electric current. With her thirty-meter-long body, the electric current she released could electrocute even the four-turn shell giant. The whole body was burnt, and the voltage was obviously extremely high.
As for the last gene, it comes from a creature called "Dharma Shark".
Lu Ping was not that familiar with this creature, but after asking Dr. Ge, he was really pleasantly surprised.
It is said that in the 1970s, when the Soviet Union and the United States were still in a period of competition, a strange thing happened in the US military patrol submarine fleet at that time. They heard something hit the submarine's shell. Later, when they checked, they found that some of the steel structure signal transmitter protective shells actually had hemispherical pits!
The steel in the pit looked like a large piece of it had been gouged out by something.
At first, the US military thought that the submarine was attacked by the enemy's mysterious weapon! It was later discovered that it was actually an attack from a marine creature.
This kind of creature that can even chew through steel is the Dharma Shark.
Later, people often found such bowl-sized pit scars on the bodies of large sharks such as mako sharks and great white sharks, and even whales.
The scars on these apex predators are caused by Dharma sharks!
The Bodhidharma shark itself is only about 50 centimeters in size, making it a small shark. It stands to reason that with such a body type, he should be able to hide from everyone he sees in the deep sea.
But the truth is exactly the opposite. The Dharma shark dares to rush up to anyone it sees because it has a unique mouth.
