The energy stone fragments that triggered the internal energy explosion have completely lost their original energy storage properties.
Even if it is diffused in the fruit forest where the sunlight is shining, it still maintains the energy-depleted amber color.
This feeling.
It looks like a small piece of brown explosion-proof glass that has been hit with external force to create dense lines on the surface.
Lu Kuan looked at the dazzling sunlight for a while, feeling increasingly shocked.
Energy stone actually also ages?
If there are no mistakes in the current on-site exploration, then the reason why the energy stone exploded was because of the cracks caused by internal aging.
The external electric wolf energy machine is like a pressure cooker, tightly suppressing the energy and releasing it outwards.
As the suppression time increases, the internal pressure reaches a critical point.
Catalyzed by external conditions, the armored vehicle's attack broke the pressure cooker, and an explosion immediately occurred inside.
But this is completely beyond everyone's previous understanding of disaster.
Or is it that humans simply don’t know enough about metals?
The essence of the energy stone is actually a metal, rather than a collection of elements composed of a special element?
Realizing this problem, Lu Kuan quickly returned to the edge of the explosion crater, opened the box he carried with him, and used instruments to detect it.
The first is conductivity.
The biggest characteristic of metal is that it has low resistance, smooth internal current flow, and strong conductivity.
In various previous tests, the energy stone was like insulating rubber, and the internal resistance was horribly high.
Therefore, in terms of energy conversion, we can only use thermal energy to drive the engine to do work, and then convert the power to the engine.
Later, although this technology was iterated once, the Electric Wolf engine that directly utilizes thermal energy was developed.
But there is still a huge loss in efficiency.
Now, try to pass electric current through this fragment full of lines, and the palm-sized instrument gives accurate data.
66×10/(meter ohms)
Not only is it higher than copper's 57, it's even higher than sterling silver's 63!
"After the explosion, the energy stone can actually conduct electricity directly?"
"What the hell happened?"
The elemental properties of an object suddenly changed completely, and Lu Kuan was a little confused.
According to the current conductivity, there is absolutely no problem with this fragmented metal.
But why is this happening?
Countless questions were brewing in Lu Kuan's mind.
Several subsequent tests were indeed not unexpected, and a large amount of data showed that the properties of the energy stone had indeed changed.
This feeling is like the mysterious psionic water, and one can never directly observe what the mysterious power inside is.
At this time, Su Deben came all the way from outside the orchard and saw Lu Kuan sitting on the ground in a daze.
"What's wrong? Is there any new research progress?"
The sudden sound from the shadow startled Lu Kuan and he almost took out his gun.
If you look closely, you will see a familiar face approaching.
"Yes, but this discovery makes people even more confused about where to start."
Lu Kuan took out the fragments from the instrument and said with a speechless expression.
"How should I put it? The fragment in my hand now and the energy stone before can be said to be two different substances."
"Two substances?"
Su Deben's expression was a little strange.
"I thought something was wrong. It's normal for explosions to cause material fusion. Have you forgotten that this is how it is shown in movies?"
"It's not the fusion of matter, it's two kinds of matter, two kinds of matter that are different in nature and origin!"
Lu Kuan shook his head repeatedly.
Even if the probability of material fusion in an explosion is low, it is indeed possible if the time, place and people are right.
But an object is smelted from it that is different in terms of molecular structure and physical properties.
Do you think this is the Big Bang?
If it were that easy to discover a new substance, those scientists wouldn't choose to sit in the laboratory.
Just pull all kinds of materials into the wilderness and blast them continuously, and that's it.
"So is it stronger or weaker?"
Principle Su Deben's scalp felt a little numb after hearing this, and he quickly interrupted Lu Kuan's explanation and asked.
"It's not clear yet, but what is certain is that this new substance has lost its original properties."
"Now it can no longer absorb heat to store energy and supply energy."
What kind of bonus does the mysterious pattern bring to the energy stone?
What new abilities does this new substance have?
Just as Lu Kuan promised when he came, the current discovery can definitely be regarded as a major discovery.
As for what it was, after looking at the direction of the territory, he suddenly said:
"I want to go back, and I want to go back now."
"Go back to find the lord?"
"Yes, this discovery is really surprising. I must go back and study it as soon as possible."
Lu Kuan seriously suspected that all he had discovered now was just that he had not found the correct way to open it.
The collected fragments, both in terms of shape and characteristics, especially the cracks, are not like the results of ordinary explosions.
The previous energy stone was discovered by Somo first. Now that we are not sure about this new substance, we must go back and study it together.
"Okay, I will send someone to protect you when you go back."
Su Deben nodded, realizing the importance of this matter.
Soon, two personnel carriers were detached, and 24 soldiers served as the returning defense force.
Just in case, Su Deben found Wang Qian who was directing the construction of the Allied camp.
"Borrow a tank?"
Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, then agreed without thinking.
With his relationship with Liu Lu, his attitude towards Tianyuan Shelter is obviously much closer than that of others.
In addition, during this tiger hunting trip, he was asked to bring out the tank, which was just for display.
If we don't seize the time to display it now, and if it ages more seriously, this tank will be no different from an immovable iron lump.
Furthermore
"Boss, we promise to complete the mission!"
"I am ready and can definitely protect our allies and return to the shelter smoothly!"
"We will come back to the bunker tomorrow to provide support, please be assured."
"Yes, we are definitely not coveting the delicious food there. As you know, the journey here is quite long and very dangerous at night!"
The four tank soldiers had issued military orders with excited faces.
Compared to staying here, it would obviously be more enjoyable to go to Tianyuan Shelter.
Although they haven't tasted the delicacies there yet, the people who came back already had calluses on their ears just from hearing about it.
"Pay attention to safety, it's quite dangerous outside now."
Wang Qian murmured, and the mouth-watering delicious food also appeared in his mind.
But there is no way. He is the captain of the entire camp and must stay in the bunker and take charge of it.
"Don't worry, captain, as long as the Sunny Harbor Sanctuary doesn't take action, the people around here who can threaten us haven't been born yet!"
Promised again, the four tank soldiers left happily.
After a while, first two personnel carriers drove out, and then a tank sped away.
Calculated based on the distance traveled, it takes five and a half hours to get from the bunker to Hope Village.
It’s early noon now, so it’s enough to arrive before dark!
After the sunny day, the wasteland ushered in the long-lost warmth.
After several days of direct sunlight exposure.
In the suburbs and large areas of wilderness located at the southern edge of Qinggang City, severe cracking has occurred in the moist land.
Large swaths of crisscrossing cracks can fit an adult's fist in.
At dusk, from high in the sky, it looks like a devil's smile, outlining a huge and ferocious face.
At this time, about twenty people were running randomly in this wilderness full of cracks.
They looked nervous, had thin bodies, and had various light red and dark red scars on their dark skin.
Some scars are close to healing, while others seem to have just occurred.
From time to time, someone fell down in the vast ruins in the southern suburbs. Their injuries touched the uneven places, and they let out a suppressed scream.
But fortunately, the pursuers behind seemed to be kept at a distance by them.
After finding a relatively complete tube building, the leading human pushed open the door and quickly called for everyone to hide inside.
When the last person entered, the door was closed again.
Sitting on the rotten floor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, they're getting closer and closer. Fortunately, we're lucky. This ruins should be able to delay us for a while."
The man who called everyone in spoke in a low voice, and a hint of excitement could be heard in his tone.
It’s Chinese!
This group of humans, who look very much like the aboriginal people of Blue Star in terms of their service and attire, are actually players?!
"Old Wang, it's not a problem for us to run away all the way. If we can't remove the sensor, they will catch up with us one day."
A middle-aged man sitting on the ground took out a black bird carcass from his pocket, chewed it and said worriedly.
Black-red liquid seeped out from the side of his mouth and was licked into his mouth by his extended tongue.
The appearance of the hairy man drinking blood is just like that of a primitive man.
But the strange thing is that no one around him was surprised, and they started "dining" like the man did.
Gaba Gaba.
The people sitting here have very good teeth, and even the bones are chewed into pieces by the strong bite force.
It's just that this ferocious appearance doesn't look like a normal human being in any way.
"Do you want to be captured and continue to be a test subject?"
The man called "Lao Wang" spoke seriously.
"Just because those of us successfully survived the first experiment doesn't mean we can survive the second or third time!"
"If we continue to stay there, sooner or later we will be squeezed dry!"
"It's not like you die now."
The middle-aged man muttered something softly, and his attention immediately turned to the food in front of him.
The sound of chewing in the field was like the operation of a mixing machine, and the crunching became louder and louder.
After a while, everyone had replenished their energy and stopped moving their hands and mouths.
In the middle of the field, Lao Wang was still brewing something.
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, he coughed lightly and prepared to tell his next escape plan.
But at this moment, a scalp-numbing whine suddenly came from outside the Tongzi Tower.
The person who was close to the window stuck his head out and looked outside. It turned out that there were four or five mutated jackals attracted by the bloody smell just now. They were standing not far away and making sounds to test.
"There are actually radioactive beasts here?"
Completely different from the fear she imagined, the middle-aged woman who discovered the jackal suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face.
More than half a month has passed since I ran away before the fog disappeared until now.
Everyone ate and slept in the open along the way, and the only food was these mutated radioactive beasts.
It's just that the places they passed through these days were large areas of wilderness, and it was difficult to find the radiation beasts.
Now, luckily, the food is delivered to your door.
"Go to a few people and bring them back."
"Be careful not to leave too many traces."
Lao Wang gave the order.
When several people jumped up from the ground, they quickly opened the door and rushed out.
The mutated jackals who were still standing in the ruins looking out were startled for the first time, but then they realized that these humans did not have such powerful fire weapons.
They whined ferociously and launched a charge.
However, what happened next was completely beyond their expectations.
The imagined scene of the other party being frightened and running away did not happen, and those humans showed no fear at all.
When we got closer, we were under the surprised gaze of the jackal.
These humans actually stretched out their fists and hit them very directly.
What a joke, do these humans think their hands are claws?
Unfortunately, at the moment of contact, the jackal, who was still thinking about how to bite the belly of the human in front of him, was suddenly startled.
That seemingly powerless fist actually contained unimaginable power.
Even if it hits the hardest skull, it will create a small crater.
Alas.
The battle started abruptly and ended even more abruptly.
There was almost no struggle, and the five jackals were brought back to Tongzilou.
One of them was separated by Lao Wang, and the eyes of the humans who had nothing to eat before were bright.
He immediately pounced on it, lay on the ground and began to chew on it.
"There seems to be a lot of food here, and it looks like our escape will be much easier."
Lao Wang's frown relaxed.
Although the mutant jackal doesn't have much meat on its body, if a radioactive beast comes to visit, there should be other species nearby.
And no matter what, it's better than hunting those mutant birds flying in the wilderness.
That thing is so cunning, it often takes ten times or a hundred times the effort to hunt ground creatures to catch one or two.
If the route hadn't given everyone present powerful abilities, they would have starved to death in the wilderness.
"While everyone is still not sleepy, let me just say a few words."
"I know that during this period of escape, everyone has a lot of resentment in their hearts, and we also know how hard it is along the way, but again, since we have chosen this road, we have to go on bravely even if there is darkness ahead.
!”
"Calculating the dates, the 19th large-scale experiment is about to start. The Lord's ability to survive the last experiment was beyond our expectations, but now, no one can survive the third experiment. We
We must find a human territory to join as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, the territory will be forced to disband, the abilities granted by the route will disappear, and we will never be able to escape very far."
There was silence.
This is no different from the usual atmosphere when Lao Wang speaks.
He has experienced inhuman torture and experiments as painful as a meat grinder.
Both men and women present had their hands stained with blood and their hearts were as hard as stone.
Lao Wang was not surprised by this performance, but he was also not satisfied with it.
He opened his mouth and was about to start a few more sentences.
There was another squeaking sound outside the window, and the rotten wooden floor of Tongzi Building also shook slightly, as if a radioactive beast was running around.
"There are a lot of radioactive beasts here!"
Several humans next to the window couldn't help but poke their heads out, trying to find the source of the sound.
But the strange thing is that as soon as they poked their heads out, their bodies seemed to freeze.
"what happened?"
Instinctively sensing something was wrong, Lao Wang frowned.
Just now, the sound seemed to be louder again.
Striding over, Lao Wang squeezed one person away and stuck his head out of the window.
The next second, his eyes fell on the ground in the distance where the sun was shining directly, and his expression instantly froze.
What the hell?
That's a tank?!
