The light blue sun crossed the sky and disappeared behind the huge planet. The originally hot weather suddenly became a lot cooler.
"Unconsciously, it's lunch time again." Chu Jungui sighed, and finally put down the small electric stove that he had held for a long time.
The molten steel flowing out of the electric furnace is finally cast into bright white three-shuttle arrows. These arrowheads are very heavy, and only a dozen of them can be cast in one furnace of alloy steel.
Chu Jungui picked up the newly cast arrowhead and said, "Go pick up things first, and then eat."
Kaitian soared into the sky, flying first towards the sparse forest where the cactus was buried. Chu Jun's return speed was not slow, and he appeared in the center of the sparse forest a moment later. At this time, Kaitian had already inspected the entire forest area and said disappointedly: "Master, there is nothing gained."
"One night and half a day won't yield anything? Are all the explorers in this direction dead?" Chu Jungui guessed.
However, the distribution of explorers is very sparse. It is quite rare to kill five in a forest. The main reason is that this sparse forest is surrounded by dangerous areas. It is relatively open and safe here, so people with a little experience will choose to start from Pass here. Those who are really experienced may spot some clues and act cautiously, but this may cost them their lives.
As his understanding of the real dream deepened, Chu Jungui already had a vague idea about the next action strategy. Once this idea was known, it would probably cause an uproar. However, whether it is actually implemented can only be decided after experiencing a disaster and returning to the real world.
"The disaster is about to happen." Chu Jungui has started a countdown in his consciousness, and there are still 36 hours left.
Under normal circumstances, a disaster will occur on the 10th day in a real dream, and another disaster will occur every 10 days thereafter. Cataclysms will become more severe each time until the explorers are wiped out. Therefore, senior explorers who have survived three disasters and died twice voluntarily quit the real dream and became instructors to train a new generation of explorers.
According to known information, there is a 96% probability that the first disaster will be a beast tide. Dozens of various beasts will attack explorers crazily in the dark of night. At this time, the importance of the camp becomes apparent. The best thing to use against wild beasts is not weapons, but fortifications.
And beasts don't cooperate with each other, but people do. Therefore, once two or three explorers join forces and have perfect fortifications, they can basically survive the first disaster easily. If they are lucky, they may even survive without any damage. Of course, this was an experience that the first few generations of explorers learned at great cost. Among the first batch of explorers to enter the real dreamland, one-third died directly in the beast wave of the first cataclysm.
The beast tide is really not a threat to Chu Jungui. During the time when I was establishing myself on Planet No. 4, I had to deal with several waves of beasts a day when I was busy.
He first inspected the cactus branch. The branch had taken root and was full again, but the radiation intensity had dropped slightly. It seemed that the roots had not yet penetrated into the mineral vein.
Chu Jungui placed a batch of newly cast arrowheads next to the cactus. After at least 24 hours, these arrows will be stained with a lot of radiation, which is better than poison.
After leaving the arrow tip, Chu Jungui returned to the camp to prepare lunch. The organic matter in real dreams is rich in energy. Even ordinary leaves are richer in nutrients than fruits in the real world. Some berries can even have several times the calories of butter.
Both Chu Jungui and Kai Tian do not need taste. Kai Tian can directly digest metals. Chu Jungui is worse than Kai Tian in this aspect, but he is still at the level of being able to eat soil to survive. So cooking was easy. Chu Jungui mixed leaves, berries, animal meat, bones and other things together, then sprinkled a handful of stone powder, made a grinder and beat it directly into juice, and then made a A big pot of green and black soup.
This soup is, of course, uncooked.
Chu Jungui took out a pottery basin, poured half of the soup into it, and handed it to Kaitian. The rest belonged to Chu Jungui himself. Another day later, Kaitian is now 1,500 grams. It is growing very fast, but it is still incredible to deal with the four or five kilograms of soup.
Chu Jungui himself picked up the iron pot and drank it all in one go.
When the iron pot bottomed out, Chu Jungui let out a sigh of satisfaction. The heat of this pot of soup is equivalent to 30 kilograms of butter, which is enough for him to use for a while.
Seeing that Kaitian was still dealing with the pot of soup, Chu Jungui started to repair the camp. The camp he set up was on a slope overlooking the water, but there was no danger to defend it. Chu Jungui sharpened the wooden stakes one by one, covered the front ends with iron, and inserted them diagonally around the camp to create the most basic defense.
This work lasted the whole afternoon. The camp had been surrounded by a circle of wooden piles. Then Chu Jungui carried dozens of logs and let Kaitian cut them, and then built a 2-meter-high small platform in the camp. This was the position he prepared to use to survive the first disaster.
Chu Jungui was busy, and the two power furnaces were never idle. The small electric furnace would produce a furnace of molten steel every hour, and another red gem would be produced.
Night fell, dawn came again, and the ninth day passed quickly in the busyness, and it was another night.
In the lobby of Exploration Part One, many staff members began to have headaches again.
"Why is he not moving again?"
"You've been here for four days, right? Do you want to live through the disaster here?"
Some prudent people said: "There is nothing wrong with hiding in the secondary area to survive the first disaster. After all, it is safe..."
"I've spent 2 billion on medical expenses, and there's 10 billion in funds behind me. Is that just to keep him safe there? Not to mention all the trouble..." Someone complained at the moment, but they didn't dare to speak loudly.
Speaking of trouble, several insiders looked helpless and sighed quietly.
On the upper floor of the base, Dr. Zero was sitting in a chair. In front of him was a large virtual conference room, with six or seven people sitting in it, two of whom looked obviously unkind.
"Doctor, are you going too far?" A general said in a cold voice, "Chu Jungui assassinated his colleagues. The evidence is conclusive. How long are you going to protect him?"
Dr. Zero sat still and said calmly: "The evidence is conclusive? Where is the evidence? Why is it so conclusive? Take it out and take a look."
The general hesitated and said angrily: "Isn't it enough to have a confession and memory about what happened in the real dream? You are using strong words to make sense!"
The doctor was still calm and said: "Memory images can indeed be used as evidence, but they must be complete. Don't take out the cut and edited ones. If you are not skilled enough, you can just hand over the explorer to me. I will do it." Retrieve memories.”
The general's expression changed again and again. He wanted to force Dr. Zero to accept the evidence, but he didn't have the ability. And hand over the explorer? How is that possible? Wouldn't that be solid evidence of the plot against Chu Jungui?
At this time, another middle-aged man in a crisp suit coughed lightly and said: "Our three original explorers did not have many senior explorers. The only three middle-aged ones, Hou Wei and Xu Fang, both died in Chu Jungui this time." In your hands, it can be said that you have lost all your money. This is a bit unreasonable, isn’t it? Doctor, the funding received by the third department is not much, and it is all supported by corporate sponsorship. Speaking of which, even if you destroy the third department, you will not gain much. ,Why bother?"
Dr. Zero remained expressionless: "Evidence."
The middle-aged man said: "There is a complete memory picture extracted."
"put."
An image was projected in the center of the conference room, from Hou Wei's perspective, completely showing what happened after the two met Chu Jungui. There are only two or three breakpoints in the video, and what is cut out is Hou Wei and Xu Fang's threats to Chu Jungui. At the end of the whole video, when they opened Chu Jungui's backpack and looked at it, the screen suddenly went black. Judging from the video alone, it looks very much like Chu Jungui followed behind and attacked them while the two were distracted.
The middle-aged man who explored the third part said: "We all know that Chu Jungui is a master of fighting. It is normal for him to sneak attack and kill them with one blow when they are completely unprepared..."
Before he finished speaking, Dr. Zero interrupted him and said, "I said that if you see the edited video again, then this meeting will end here, and I will hold you accountable for perjury. "
The middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed and said: "They came back from the dead, so it is inevitable that their memory will be lost. And after comparison, the missing part was less than a minute, which does not affect the conclusion..."
Dr. Zero looked at the information in his hand and said, "It's not up to you whether the impact will affect the conclusion. In addition, you are the director of Anqilei Defense Co., Ltd., and you also have some shares in Raytheon Company. These two companies are owned by the three of you. Are you a sponsor of the ministry? Are you so rich? It just so happens that these two companies use three patents from my laboratory. If you notify them, the patent fees will increase five times next year."
The middle-aged man stood up, surprised and angry: "We signed a contract! It will not expire in more than ten years!"
"Really?" Dr. Zero adjusted his glasses and said calmly: "Then just sign a new one."
"Impossible!" the middle-aged man almost roared.
These three patents are the core lifeblood of the two companies. The patent fees alone cost more than one billion every year. Now they have increased by five times. How can they afford it?
Dr. Zero didn't react at all to the middle-aged man's rage and said, "If you don't want to re-sign, then stop it. I'll pay you liquidated damages."
The middle-aged man's expression changed again. Although the liquidated damages were a full 3 billion, the withdrawal of the patents directly blocked the lifeblood of these two military industrial companies. The flagship products had to be discontinued immediately, and the compensation alone was in the tens of billions. If you want to independently develop the same technology, let alone the talent at that level, even if you do, it can take more than ten years to develop.
The middle-aged man pointed at Dr. Zero, his hands trembling: "You, you are a threat!"
"It is." Dr. Zero admitted frankly.
Dr. Zero just recognized it, and the middle-aged man was speechless.
Fortunately, the old man who presided over the meeting finally stopped pretending to be dead and said, "Since the doctor questions the validity of the evidence, so be it. Aren't there two explorers involved? Hou Wei will continue to enter the real dream, and Xu Fang has already After retiring, Xu Fang will be handed over to the First Department, who will retrieve the memory. The doctor is an expert in this field, and I believe he will get enough convincing evidence."
The middle-aged man's expression changed several times, but he finally nodded. Even if Dr. Zero extracts complete memories, Hou Wei and Xu Fang only threatened Chu Jungui and wanted to use him as cannon fodder, while Chu Jungui directly killed people. There is still a fundamental difference in the nature of the two things. .
"Then this meeting will be held here first and will be held again when new evidence is available."
The image of the conference room in front of Dr. Zero dispersed, revealing the original office. He connected to a communication channel, and a picture of a young researcher with a clean and sunny face appeared in front of him.
"Doctor, are you looking for me?"
"An explorer named Xu Fang will be sent over for memory retrieval in a moment. You should still remember how the medical accident occurred."
The young researcher smiled brightly: "Don't worry, I will turn him into a single-celled organism."
