Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 165 Crystallization Research Institute

Ever since humans discovered the crystals produced in zombie brains, humans have not stopped researching crystals. Every settlement, regardless of ability, has set up a specialized research institution to conduct research on crystals.

It is very difficult to obtain more data on crystallization. Without a large amount of research equipment, there is no way to conduct further research on crystallization. But the fact that crystals contain huge amounts of energy is something that everyone knows.

Although no one knows how many uses this energy has, it does not prevent mankind from recognizing the value of crystallization. As long as the true secret of crystallization is solved by research, no matter what its uses, as long as it is energy, it will have value.

With the research, the energy released by crystals has gradually begun to be used in various places. For example, electricity, the energy released by a level 1 crystal, after being converted into electricity, is enough to power a 200-watt electric lamp.

More than 24 hours.

With the success of various researches, it was proved that the diversification of crystallization energy, so the whole world went crazy, and it was instantly established that crystallization became one of the currencies in circulation, replacing gold, and was called energy currency. It is this kind of energy coin.

For this reason, various settlements recognized the status of crystals, and organizations and individuals with ruling rights began to accept this crystals to purchase food, guns, etc.

However, people also ignore the current difficulty in extracting crystal energy for humans. You must know that extracting the energy of a level 1 crystal takes a long time and requires complex equipment to complete. In a short time, it is impossible to extract energy from human beings.

has an effect.

However, the establishment of crystallized energy coins has become an unstoppable trend. Everyone believes that even if there is no way to easily extract energy today, as long as we continue to research, we will always be able to find a way to easily extract energy.

Method. Collecting crystals in large quantities now is a strategic storage and can even determine the status of each settlement in the future.

The above is the real reason why crystals can become circulating coins and are recognized by humans.

At the beginning, Zhou Yuanqiang also felt strange. A crystal like this could not be eaten and used. It was just a bit pretty but had no merit. Why could it become a currency? When he understood the above information, he realized

We know that the status of crystal is obtained because its temperature contains energy.

Of course, crystals are definitely a good thing for Zhou Yuanqiang. After all, he still needs it to upgrade his ring.

The news obtained on Qiantianzhou Plain made Zhou Yuanqiang attach great importance to crystals, because the settlements in the north were exchanging weapons for such crystals in large quantities. They must have made some major discoveries, or made progress in energy extraction.

, will act like this.

Since the establishment of the Wasteland Settlement, there has been a Crystallization Research Department. Later, as the number of personnel increased, it was upgraded to the Crystallization Research Department, and then to the current Crystallization Research Institute. There are nearly a hundred people working in the Crystallization Research Institute.

Their daily job is to use all means to study crystallization.

Thanks to this zombie offensive, the emergence of various zombies has provided the institute with more research directions.

This is the first time for Zhou Yuanqiang to come to the Institute of Crystallization. It is located in the former town People's Hospital and is a large courtyard. There are all kinds of plants everywhere and it is also one of the greenest places in the entire town. Almost the entire hospital

Covered by trees, there is no heat in the wilderness at all.

Zhou Yuanqiang also came here to take a look at the last minute. He only had Ren Xinyun with him, so there was nothing to greet him. He informed the guard. Under the fanatical eyes of the other party, Zhou Yuanqiang led Ren Xinyun into the research institute.

, Soon the director in charge here, Huang Changnian, walked out of the hospital’s former office building. After seeing Zhou Yuanqiang, he hurriedly said: "I didn’t know that the president was coming. Some people are far away to welcome him, and some are far away to welcome him!"

"

"Haha, Director Huang, why are you so angry? What kind of era is it now? This kind of thing has long been out of business." Regardless of his position in the chamber of commerce, Huang Changnian can only be said to be at the deputy director level, but he is responsible for

Not only the Institute of Crystallization, but also the operation of the entire hospital can be called a high-ranking official. In fact, he is a senior employee at the level of former deputy director. Therefore, for this kind of person who has been leading the research of the institute for five years, Zhou Yuanqiang

Still very respectful.

The purpose of Zhou Yuanqiang's visit this time was to ask about the research results of crystallization. This could only be solved with a phone call, but he decided to come and see it in person.

To be honest, after five years of research, the entire institute has done nothing. Zhou Yuanqiang is not dissatisfied. However, Huang Changnian became embarrassed and said: "President, we are still too incompetent. We have made almost no achievements in five years. I am ashamed of everyone."

expectations.”

Zhou Yuanqiang knows a little about the situation of the research institute. In this wasteland, having enough food is the first priority. Under such circumstances, who has extra time to get equipment for research? Such equipment is only available in Qingyuan City.

There are only research institutes, major hospitals, and university research laboratories. But the problem is, there are millions of zombies, who can snatch them out?

The research equipment is imperfect and relies entirely on primitive methods. It would be strange if anything could be researched.

Later, under the leadership of Huang Changnian, Zhou Yuanqiang observed a complete process of extracting crystal energy. To be honest, it is very complicated and the speed is really slow. If it is used for ordinary lighting, it can be extracted and used at the same time. But

The problem is, such a huge equipment is just for serving one lamp? This is simply a joke.

Huang Changnian introduced: "Many of the equipment here are all made by ourselves. They can only extract the energy of level 2 crystals at most. Crystals of level 3 and above cannot be extracted by these equipments. In the absence of necessary research equipment,

Now, our analysis of energy can only rely on repeated experiments to collect data and finally confirm the experimental effect of this method. Just like this, one experiment often takes ten days and a half, sometimes several

It took several months, which greatly slowed down the entire research work on crystallization.”

Without enough research equipment and instruments, even gods will be helpless, let alone these researchers who have become monks on the way?

Although there are more than a hundred people engaged in crystallization research in the institute, there are only a dozen people who are directly doing the research. Most of the other people are responsible for the responsibilities of hospital doctors. In a settlement of hundreds of thousands of people, there are no

No one may get sick, and the hospital in the wasteland settlement may not be able to deal with complex illnesses, but some illnesses, such as colds and fevers, can still be overcome.

In the apocalypse, illness is a kind of pain, and some severe cases are equated with death. Without medical conditions, even doctors with medical experience can't do anything.

What people in the apocalypse are most afraid of is usually getting sick. Some settlements have no hospitals or doctors. Sometimes a small cold or fever can ruthlessly take away people's lives. Coupled with the harsh living space in the apocalypse, there are also

The stench from zombies is everywhere, and it can also cause plague.

Zhou Yuanqiang also heard that in some settlements tens of thousands of people fell down under the plague within a few days and never stood up again.

Just like this, after taking over the settlement, we have vigorously implemented the sanitation system and imposed severe penalties on those who litter. Even if they vomit on the ground, they will be punished after being discovered. This kind of mandatory punishment,

After the implementation of using a group of people as chickens to worship the monkeys, the hygiene atmosphere in the entire settlement was improved.

Nowadays, walking on the street, you can no longer see garbage and people spitting everywhere.

"President, would you like to ask the people in the hunting team to try to bring back more instruments or something? The current dilemma is that even if we find the right direction, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in crystallization research." He was able to talk to the president alone.

At the same time, Huang Changnian will naturally not let go of this opportunity. He said: "From the moment I saw the crystal, I firmly believed that the emergence of the crystal will change our human's new understanding of energy. Who can solve it first?"

Whoever knows the secret will be able to take the lead and go further."

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't understand. He thought for a moment and said: "Director Huang, please come up with a list. I will implement it to the hunting department as soon as possible and let them think of ways to get what you need from other places.

I have received the equipment. I still trust Director Huang’s vision.”

How can equipment for research be obtained from small towns and villages? Zhou Yuanqiang has decided to bring it from modern times. The magic of crystallization can be seen from the ability of zombies to use it. No one can ignore the impact of crystallization on human beings in the future.

.

If a settlement wants to survive and go further, it not only needs to be well fed and well clothed, but also needs to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

In the last days, there is no political power and no law. Even morality exists among a few people. Most people have long lost their morality. Now with the threat of zombies, people may still be hostile together. If they lose their

What about the pressure that zombies bring to human beings? Facing a vacuum of political power, how many people can resist the temptation of power?

Zhou Yuanqiang does not want to be king and hegemony, he just wants to live well and turn the settlement into the city he imagined, so that the settlement in the last days can be like an industry, earning endless wealth for himself and allowing him to enjoy the life of the world.

, gained the respect of everyone.

But Zhou Yuanqiang knew that this was just his wishful thinking. The more the settlement developed, the more fat it became in the eyes of others, and it was certain that he would take a bite.

If you want to avoid being eaten, the best way is to knock out their teeth and turn them into a piece of fat that is harder than a stone. This requires strong force. Zhou Yuanqiang has a feeling that this crystal will definitely

It was used in the military, but in what form, Zhou Yuanqiang couldn't think of it.

Just like this, the secret of crystallization must be cracked as soon as possible and we must not lag behind others.
