After reading this letter, Zhang Ming was filled with emotion. He was silent for a long time and sighed: "Human society is so complicated. I'd better not get involved in this kind of chaotic political struggle."
His friends, Li Xianfeng and Wang Fumin, were involuntarily involved in the whirlpool of the times.
Where on earth can we stay away from this?
Only he, an outsider, can overlook the entire human world from the most macro perspective.
"That's good. The more you know, the less happy you are."
Lao Zhang scratched his head. He might be the type who says "the more powerful you are, the less happy you are".
He picked up the device made of "Light and Shadow Stone" again and closed his eyes.
The "Light and Shadow Stone" bloomed with faint light, and a dark picture appeared in my mind, like a simple computer screen interface. It contains quite a few papers, letters, videos, photos and other documents.
I randomly opened a paper "Cryo-electron microscopy structure of human extraordinary IgM B-cell receptor", and I couldn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time.
Zhang Ming can also use his thoughts to enter some words into the light and shadow stone.
However, because the bottle was damaged, it was impossible to cross the abyss again. Even if the text was entered, it would be meaningless.
He didn't bother to reply.
“When you’re in the mood, watch these things to relieve your boredom!”
…
…
Just like that, half a month passed again.
In order to ensure a happy mood and reduce mental illness, Zhang Ming continued to take the soldiers of Honggang Civilization out to kill monsters. When he returned home, he ate monster meat and drank heavily, and then a large group of people recited spells collectively.
"Your fucking rescue team! They haven't come to save me yet!"
Then I felt very happy...
Shimama was like a radio, playing weird music: "I'm not really happy~~My smile is just a protective color I wear~~~"
After the soldiers finished eating and drinking, they started crazy physical training again, and then practiced combat training with Zhang Ming one by one.
Lao Zhang doesn't need "burning soul", lightning, or burst of power. He only uses the defensive ability of "King Kong", and he can still fight them.
At first, the rest of the crew on the ship were resistant to this mysterious spell. They did not understand what it was at all, but they just felt that these soldiers had a tendency to go crazy.
However, as time passed, the spell spread widely.
Even those craftsmen who forged iron learned it!
Even the kitchen aunt has learned it!
After the steamship's admiral, Mr. Gondor, learned this spell, he always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the entire ship, but after thinking about it, he couldn't explain it.
"How do you feel about the recent stage?" Gondor asked an assistant nearby.
"I feel good, sir, our mental state is improving!" the assistant shouted, "It's not our fault, it's the rescue team's fault! It's their fault that they didn't come to rescue us!"
"Well, that makes sense." Gondor nodded, agreeing deeply.
…
Although the damn abyss is extremely dangerous, it does provide a lot of attribute points. You can get 10-15 attribute points every day!
Therefore, Zhang Ming comforted himself every day. Even if he was trapped in this ghost place, he would become stronger at least three times faster... There was even a group of Honggang people accompanying him to suffer. What else could he suffer?
What's more, he is so short of attribute points, especially after acquiring the "Burning Soul" magical power, no matter how many attribute points he has, he won't be able to burn enough!
On this day, Zhang Ming received a notification from Hongsteel that the pathfinding device made of drift bottles as the core was completed!
It can be seen that Honggang people attach great importance to this thing, and concentrated a lot of manpower and material resources to complete the design and manufacture of this device as quickly as possible.
It looks like a large refrigerator, with shining fluorescence. There is a device like a gyroscope at the top, with several small balls the size of peanuts rolling around on the device.
"As long as you put the drift bottle into the instrument, our device will capture it immediately, and through the action of force, the pointer on the gyroscope will point to a specific position. Because the exit of the abyss may be below, the instrument is Three-dimensional."
Gong Jinye introduced the general principle: "Don't worry, all the capture materials are made of flexible materials and will never harm this bottle! If something goes wrong, I will jump into the furnace on the spot!"
Zhang Ming took the drift bottle, took a deep breath, and gently threw it into a certain gap in the instrument without leaving any trace of ink.
Soon, there was a "click-click" sound of gears, and the drift bottle was caught again.
The pointer in the gyroscope rotated and pointed in a certain direction.
This direction is almost the same as the trajectory of the drifting bottle I saw at the beginning.
The Admiral, Gondor, who was standing aside, quickly asked: "How is it?"
"After preliminary tests, the directions are the same, which is okay." Zhang Ming relaxed a little, "But we can't make a conclusion yet on whether that direction is the exit. After all, the bottle is only so big, and it can pass through certain Location, we may not be able to pass.”
Gong Jinye also sighed: "Yes, you are right. The path-finding process for this kind of strange object is indeed different from what we imagined."
"If the drifting bottle leaves through a certain space tunnel, we really have no way to follow it. Even the main gun on the ship cannot blast open a space."
"But if there are just obstacles such as rocks and pollution, we can still think of ways to clear the obstacles."
"So do we need to use this pathfinding device to explore now? Or start our ship's engine and head in this direction?"
Gondor, who was standing aside, quickly shook his head and said: "The risk of starting the ship's engine directly is too great. What if there are some weird creatures over there?"
"Well, we can organize an expedition team..."
"First figure out the approximate location. Then think about it... You have been trapped for so long, so don't worry about this period of time."
"Forget it, I'll go alone. For this kind of thing, it's useless to have more people." Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, "As long as you can guard your own ship, don't leave the others."
Gondor was relieved to see that His Excellency the Extraordinary Man was willing to take risks. To be honest, adventures in the abyss were too dangerous. With all their strong men put together, they would definitely escape death if they ran out to take risks.
Even if he were to protect his own ship, he could only be said to be barely qualified - and that's still if he had a large number of magical weapons in hand.
The existence of an extraordinary person really saves a lot of things.
Zhang Ming asked again: "The abyss is only tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter. What is the speed of the fastest ship you have there?"
Gondor said quickly: "The fastest jet watercraft has a speed of about 700 kilometers per hour, but it is very noisy and may attract a large number of monsters."
"When the noise is low, the speed of this aircraft is about 100 kilometers per hour, and it takes 100 hours to explore 10,000 kilometers...it is actually quite fast."
"Of course, there are also ordinary steamships that are less noisy and have a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour. Which one do you choose?"
"That's like a hundred kilometers an hour."
"We need to modify the aircraft, which may take some time."
Time is something Zhang Ming lacks the most, so he can just continue killing monsters and be done with it.
This wait has been several months...
The Honggang people seem to have encountered some technical difficulties.
Hydroplanes require a large amount of air, which is heated and then sprayed backwards, in order to function.
But as time goes by, the air in the abyss has brought trace amounts of abyssal pollution. The pollutants enter the engine and react with ordinary substances, which will destroy the entire engine structure and cause power failure.
This is no small problem!
If the aircraft explodes mid-exploration, Gondor can twist off the technician's head!
So Honggang people have been working hard on research...
Of course, Lao Zhang was in no hurry. He leisurely snorkeled for 8 hours every day, looking for "clues" and picking up some rubbish. Now that the materials on hand are almost used, he also wants to pick up some garbage and bring it back to the earth!
I spent 4 hours bragging and farting with the grassroots Honggang people, learning about their culture, learning some local languages, drinking some old wine, and then playing cards and games.
Zhang Ming still practiced very hard for another 10 hours. "Burning Soul" improved the basic attributes. The more complete the "King Kong" training, the higher the improvement. The use of the Abyss Ax and the training of the "Tiger Roar" method require a lot of time.
Finally rest for 2 hours.
Day by day passed like this...
We have to admit that in the current desperate situation, the Honggang people have unleashed an unparalleled will to survive. The soldiers trained very hard. The desperate situation and casualties did not break their will, but made them grow.
In the cabin, all the workers are devoted to their work. In order to transform the living environment in the cabin, there are really many things to do. Even the dormitories were dismantled and rebuilt.
There is only one bed for a couple, a small cubicle of 2 square meters, and no other furniture. Even though Honggang people like narrow spaces, this living environment is too difficult.
But there is no way, most of the space in the cabin must be transformed into a botanical garden to produce more food.
Laboratories and production rooms are also busy 24 hours a day and night, producing weapons, armor, detectors, etc.
The abyss, as an unknown and mysterious place, has too many places that can be explored. Unmanned detectors are constantly sending out information. Even if contact will be lost soon, it is good to be able to explore a small part of the information.
Maybe a certain piece of information will be a life-saving straw in the future!
In fact, the ship's defense measures were upgraded again. The Hongsteelmen sprayed water from the abyss onto the deck that was painted with random paint, pretending to be a blazing fire.
Not to mention, this plan is very effective. Monster attacks have been reduced by more than 80%!
