Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

374 highlands, flat-topped peaks.

All human activity has disappeared.

The caves that were once inhabited by humans are now empty.

Along the way, Xiao Jian entered certain caves to explore from time to time, and even made a special trip to the cave of the young man Liu Xiaoxiao.

Unfortunately, this place was completely empty, with only some unpolished obsidian blades scattered on the ground.

From the traces here, it was difficult for Xiao Jian to determine what happened to people, so he could only go back to the flat-top mountain peak where the sacrifices were piled.

Before that, there was once a huge fat lump that swallowed up all the sacrifices and turned into an extremely huge cocoon of flesh and blood.

But now, it has collapsed, leaving only a shriveled skin.

Xiao Jian still remembers the name of this thing - [Hungry Sac].

At that time, the description of this [Hungry Sac] said that this thing was "the mouth of a certain god".

However, now, when Xiao Jian returned here to observe the remaining skin again, the name of this thing changed into something else:

【Legacy of the New God】

This is the cocoon and disguise of a new god, possessing extraordinary power. It's a pity that its owner left in a hurry and didn't have time to take away this innate relic.

…

Judging from the wet footprints on the ground, this so-called "new god" is a humanoid creature.

But this huge relic is larger than a basketball court. Without a "space bag" like a chimpanzee's belly, there is no way to take it away.

Perhaps, He had realized that Xiao Jian would come back here, so even though this thing was precious, He still chose to abandon it.

"No wonder he didn't drop anything after killing him...it turns out his real body is here!"

“So at the end of the day, I was lied to from the beginning?”

Looking at the remaining remains, Xiao Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The old liar is indeed an old liar, even his cocoon can deceive people!

Who would have thought that attribute descriptions that have always been perfectly normal would have errors! ?

Until this time, Xiao Jian had a deeper understanding of the contest between gods.

It turns out that the battle between gods does not only exist in head-to-head confrontation between domains, but also in the competition between different characteristics or powers.

Although the old liar's strength has long been weakened, and his field is so weak that it can be broken like a plastic wrap, but this deception is indeed superb.

…

On the same day, Xiao Jian returned to Fortress Town, sat in the cafeteria and chatted with Shao You about his recent experiences.

"...I even think that the old liar will survive longer than the blind saint." Xiao Jian finally concluded his adventure.

"It is indeed possible." Shao Youxian agreed, "That cocoon should be some kind of reincarnation device for it to escape the so-called 'corrosion'. But I guess this kind of reincarnation will not be completely costless... For example, the cocoon he lost is probably part of its power."

"Indeed." Xiao Jian also nodded.

That cocoon was sacrificed to Old Nanmu by Xiao Jian when he just returned to the courtyard.

As a result, after burning, this thing turned into a real relic:

【Camouflage cloak】

Block the inquiring gaze and distort the information it obtains.

…

The shape of this thing is like a silk cloak with a cocoon pattern—it was originally as large as a basketball court, but after being refined by the sacrificial fire, only this size is left.

As for its ability, Xiao Jian has tested it several times and found that it can indeed change into the target's attribute description - for example, Rhubarb will turn into an element-devouring beast after being wrapped in a cloak.

When a strong black-haired man puts it on, he will become a "god with supreme authority."

Of course, if Xiao Jian is willing, he can also set the information fed back by this cloak...

It can be said that this relic is simply a god-level mask.

Xiao Jian was envious of the blind saint's "curtain" before, but now it's better, he has something even more powerful.

"How is the recent research? Are there any difficulties?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Thanks to you, everything went smoothly." As soon as he mentioned this, Shao Youxian began to glow, "First of all, based on the underlying logic of driving force, we found..."

If what Shao Youxian spits out now is "quantum" or "nano", Xiao Jian can barely finish a few sentences.

At least that way, Xiao Jian would also know the general direction of their conversation.

But now people start talking about "the correlation between existential waves and gravity waves" and "special condensed matter based on driving force excitation". There is basically no difference between hearing it and not hearing it.

Xiao Jian wanted to interrupt several times but couldn't get in at all... And Shao Youxian became more and more excited as he talked, talking for more than an hour without even drinking water.

Xiao Jian could only look depressed as he pressed him here to crazily instill all kinds of cutting-edge knowledge about the post-apocalyptic era.

It’s full, it doesn’t work anymore, I really can’t drink it in...

...I don’t need to take the college entrance examination (reveal)!

Xiao Jian could maintain his basic demeanor at first, but soon his eyes began to become dull.

"Now, our energy utilization has almost doubled, and a kit similar to the magnetic storm coil has entered the final testing stage..."

"……Um?"

Xiao Jian suddenly became energetic.

"Kit? You mean... you have developed something new like a reconnection gun component?"

Talking about this Xiao Jian makes me feel sleepy.

"Yes, but it is currently being tested and its power is being evaluated... its practicality is hard to say yet." When he mentioned this, Shao Youxian immediately became conservative and rigorous.

"How to say?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Similar to the principle of a magnetic storm coil, we use new theoretical support to compress some condensed cations within a small range, and then use the pea shooter's pea bullets to throw them out..."

"Because Peashooter's pea bullets are also very special. They are not matter in the traditional sense, as if they do not really exist in the material world... but they allow you to truly interact with the physical world in reality, so It couldn’t be better to use it as a vehicle.”

"In this way, we solve the problem of orientation of the magnetic storm coil, the problem of energy waste, the problem of excessive energy required to penetrate the air, and most importantly, the problem of range."

"The magnetic storm coil generates an arc by passing electric current through the air, which greatly limits its range... But attaching cations to pea bullets with special physical properties perfectly solves this problem at once."

"..."

Shao Youxian talked endlessly about his projects, from the principles to usage scenarios, from the difficulties they overcame to the birth of the final test product...

All in all, the first half of it is nothing short of fantastic.

However, when Xiao Jian asked about the damage effect, Shao Youxian became hesitant.

"... Well, at present, we can only confirm that it has a certain lethality against zombies, and it has an excellent damage effect on electronic products - the energy it carries can penetrate most electromagnetic defenses and disable the internal The circuit burned out instantly.”

"So, what's the damage value?" Xiao Jian asked bluntly.

Previously, Xiao Jian had established a damage effect standard for Shao Youxian and the others - a standard formed by quantifying the degree of damage to a material based on each point of attack power.

In Shao Youxian's tests, for attacks with 5 points or less, the damage effect evaluation is almost error-free. For attacks with 10 points or more, the damage effect evaluation can also be accurate to plus or minus 2 attack points - this is for those who cannot see Damage values ​​are accurate enough for researchers.

As for the abnormality like the reconnection gun component, which can deal 600 points of damage in one shot, their test results are almost consistent with Xiao Jian's observations.

Therefore, researchers are actually able to evaluate the attack power of this new "magnetic storm coil kit".

but……

"...around 30 o'clock." Shao You answered first.

"Ah?" Xiao Jian was slightly startled when he heard this number, "30? Are you sure it's 30 and not 300?"

"Yes..." Shao You nodded first.

"...What about consumption?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Well, it will probably consume 45 points of sunlight." Shao You scratched his head first.

Okay, isn’t this just a piece of trash?

Xiao Jian immediately lost interest in it.

You must know that the reconnection cannon component can use 400 points of sunlight to deal 600 points of damage!

But this "magnetic storm coil component" can only use 45 points of sunlight to deal 30 points of damage!

What use can this thing have?

However, although Xiao Jian was not very interested, he still did not interfere with Shao Youxian's research.

Anyway, this is a direction. If any new results are produced in the future, today's investment will be fully earned.

However, Xiao Jian also learned from this incident that all the current breakthroughs in the institute are basically concentrated in the theoretical stage.

Just like human beings have just begun to recognize elements and have begun to fill in the periodic table with newly discovered elements one by one.

Although it seems to be advancing by leaps and bounds, the actual impact on the real world is still very limited at that point in time.

But over time, the seeds planted today will surely blossom into brilliant flowers one day.

However, it seemed that Shao Youxian also knew that they had nothing to show for it at the moment, so he changed his high-spirited demeanor and started chatting with Xiao Jian.

For example, which world fragments have been merged into Fortress Town recently?

For example, in Shishan Town, which was also newly incorporated, there are "news" among its residents such as legends about gods that moved mountains and seas.

Xiao Jian was a little surprised to hear that Shishan Town was also merged into Fortress Town.

"Now, are these fragments of the world still strong? Are there any signs of instability?"

"There's no problem." Shao You thought for a moment before replying, "The newly incorporated land is very solid."

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Xiao Jian nodded.

The reason why he asked this was because there was a problem with the merger of the Windmill World and the Magma World - so far, the Magma World has not been truly integrated into the Windmill World.

The two pieces of land are like two pieces of duckweed floating on the lake, but they are forced together by the wind blown by the small fan. As soon as the wind stops, they will be completely separated soon.

"Are you thinking of the magma world?" Shao You asked first.

Since there are many researchers staying in the magma world, Shao Youxian still knows something about it.

"Yes." Xiao Jian nodded.

Shao Youxian thought for a while: "I think this may be the normal state between fragments of different worlds... After all, you mentioned before that the Dragon Skull Clan used a red-hot iron anchor to anchor two different fragments of the world together."

"And the 'normal state' like us that can constantly piece together fragments of other worlds is likely to be a miracle."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Jian also became interested.

In fact, many things, if you are in them, you don't have any special feelings. But if you jump out and look at it from the average level of the universe, everything on Earth may become a miracle.

Just when the two began to diverge from the topic, a shrill air defense alarm suddenly sounded in the fortress town:

"Woo--"

The two raised their heads and looked out the window at the same time.

"You go to the underground bunker to hide, I'll go see what's going on outside."

Xiao Jian ordered.

"Yes." Shao Youxian didn't hesitate and immediately took the order and left.

...

Just when Xiao Jian came to the radar room, it was already full of people.

Zhang Weidong and his granddaughter were naturally there.

However, Zhang Weidong was listening to the staff's report with a serious expression, and only Zhang Jinyu noticed Xiao Jian's arrival.

"God."

Zhang Jinyu quietly waved at Xiao Jian.

"What's the situation?" Xiao Jian walked to her side and whispered in her ear.

After listening, Zhang Jinyu also tiptoed to Xiao Jian's ear and whispered: "The existence wave radar found something..."

It turned out that the fully upgraded existence wave radar had completely replaced the backward instruments that used electricity before.

At present, except for the extra-large antenna outside, almost all other parts are brand new, and the energy used has also been replaced with sunlight value.

With the blessing of the huge antenna, the detection distance of the existence wave radar began to become extremely exaggerated, and even whether there are world fragments or world fragments "around" can be detected.

For example, when Shishan Town was incorporated before, the existence wave radar had already predicted its existence in advance.

This time, the existence wave radar detected a super huge, even countless times larger than the current fortress town, which can almost be regarded as a "large piece" of world debris, approaching at an extremely slow speed...

On the other side, Zhang Weidong asked: "...Are all the fans turned off?"

"Report, all turned off!"

"What's the result? Is it still approaching?" Zhang Weidong continued to ask.

"The result has just been confirmed, it is still approaching! And the speed is getting faster and faster!"

The staff's answer made Zhang Weidong fall into silence.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Jian took two steps forward and suggested: "Why not move the fan to the other side and try?"

"God."

The moment they noticed Xiao Jian, the solemnity on the faces of the staff and Zhang Weidong suddenly dissipated a lot, as if they had found their backbone.

"Go and try..." Xiao Jian said, "See if it's because of 'inertia'."

"Yes!"

Several messengers immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, the giant land that was constantly approaching on the radar screen began to slow down.

Apparently, Xiao Jian's strategy worked.

However, the method of adjusting the fan position only worked for less than 10 minutes, and then the two lands began to approach each other again!

In other words... the giant land actually "accelerated"!
