Chapter 724: 49 days of disaster (1)
While everyone was discussing the matter, the triple damage of strong winds, heavy rains, and thunder are constantly attacking the concentric protective nets that cover the sky above the city. These damages are simple and rough. The protective nets can resist them without any omissions in a short period of time, but they cannot withstand long-term consumption.
At present, the main load carriers of the protective net include three aspects: Lin Zaishan himself; the star soul element uniformly allocated by Master Lin; and members participating in the concentric formation.
No matter how strong Lin Zaishan is, he is just a sixth-level star soul. After all, his ability to bear load is limited, and he has to worry about being busy with various matters, so it is impossible for him to concentrate on fighting the triple attack.
Hundreds of Star Soul components have been reprogrammed by Lin Zaishan and Master Lin, each focusing on specific functions, thus maximizing the relevant performance and forming efficient system coupling with each other under unified configuration - this allows them as a whole to withstand more loads, but the number is far from enough at present.
The members of the concentric formation are people after all. They need diet and rest, and will experience fatigue, injuries and various negative emotions. Although the concentric protection net of tens of thousands of people they formed is very powerful, it is destined to be durable and has poor balance.
The most urgent problem to be solved by Zhongcheng at present is: how to strengthen the protective net so that it can work at a high intensity for a long time and effectively resist various attacks such as strong winds, heavy rains and thunder.
One of the effective countermeasures Lin Zaishan and Master Lin can do now is to create more star soul components. Thanks to the previous battles with the insect swarm, Lin Zaishan has harvested more than 100,000 Zerg star souls in total, most of which are still steadily retained in his own star soul world. No need at this time, when? He cooperated with Master Lin to install star soul components at a rate of 10 per minute. The more star soul components, the more stable the protection network will be, the stronger the ability of Master Lin, and the faster the working speed will be. However, overall, the growth rate of the composite carrier is far lower than the load itself, and more and more people will start to experience overload symptoms. According to this situation, it will take only about 10 hours at most, and serious loopholes or even collapses in the protection network.
//////////////
Just as Lin Zaishan was busy, the Tianqin Girls Group asked for a meeting. "My ladies, I really don't have time to meet you now. Every second is a matter of life and death."
Xiao Sa said coquettishly: "Don't you even want to see me?"
"In one minute I see you, we may have an additional 8 citizens unconscious due to energy overload."
“What if we had a way to solve the energy overload problem?”
"Really?" Lin Zaishan was both surprised and happy.
Xu Yuxin said: "Teacher Lin, our Tianqin Girls Group just collaborated to design a star soul matrix energy battery that can store the amount of energy. Please check it out."
"Come in!" Lin Zaishan immediately welcomed the five girls into the command room, and couldn't wait to check the design drawings of their Star Soul Matrix Energy Battery, and ordered Master Lin: "Verify the feasibility of the design immediately!"
Mr. Lin quickly responded: "There are three technical loopholes, and the overall feasibility is about 46%.
"What?" The girls thought they were 100% sure, but they knew that they were so low, and their faces were blushing.
Lin Zaishan quickly analyzed the three loopholes, added his technical compensation plan, and asked Master Lin to re-verify it, and the result was that the overall feasibility was 76%.
"Miss, you have very good creativity, I am very grateful..."
"But what?" Xiao Sa stopped talking.
"No, but I will immediately design this Star Soul Matrix Energy Battery. Xu Yuxin will help you. You guys are standing guard outside the door and no one is allowed to come and disturb you."
"Okay." The other four women immediately went out and blocked the corridor.
Lin Zaishan solemnly glanced at Xu Yuxin, "Let's start now, you must keep up with the pace."
"Don't worry, Teacher Lin, since I was a child, I was dragging me down."
Lin Zaishan took Xu Yuxin into his star soul world and tried his best to design the star soul matrix energy battery. The time here passes slowly, which is most suitable for working against time; but due to huge energy consumption and other reasons, they cannot stay here for too long, nor can they enter frequently in a short period of time.
//////////////
At this time, Zhiyangyang and Zhao Feiyan came to the command room where Lin Zaishan was.
Seeing this, Xiao Sa smiled and said to Su Ya: "Ha, someone has come to give you gifts and greetings."
Zhiyangyang has been tested by life and death for several years, and has made great progress in his psychological quality, dealing with people, etc. He is no longer as nervous as before when he sees a beautiful woman. He nodded politely to the girls, and his eyes stayed on Su Ya, "Hello everyone. Teacher Zhao and I have an urgent matter to meet Captain Lin."
"Lin Zaishan just instructed that no one is allowed to disturb him." Xiao Sa was the substitute captain of Tianqin Girls' Group when Xu Yuxin was absent.
"But..." Zhi Yangyang was confident that with his friendship with Lin Zaishan, the latter would never refuse to accept him.
"But what? Get away quickly and don't delay major issues!" Su Ya suddenly scolded him, and immediately made Zhiyangyang blush and retreated repeatedly.
"What important thing Captain Lin is busy with? You must know that our affairs are also important." Zhao Feiyan stepped forward and faced the girls. She was not Zhiyangyang, so she would not be fooled by the words of a few beautiful girls.
"We don't know about this. You can go in later when our boss Xu Yuxin comes out." Xiao Sa blocked the door and refused to let him go.
"It turns out that Xu Yuxin is inside." Zhao Feiyan's face showed a hint of displeasure. She taught this Xu Yuxin before the end of the world and chose her "Principles of Intelligent Mechanics". She only attended once throughout the semester, but the paper test and practical operation were full marks. In the end, she failed the exam on the grounds that her absence rate exceeded one-third.
Zhao Feiyan resisted his unhappiness and was about to pull Zhiyangyang aside to discuss matters, but found that the latter was trying hard to show his attention to Su Ya.
"Miss Su, this is a bag of snacks that are imitating chocolate. Please accept them with a smile." Zhiyangyang really started giving gifts again.
Su Ya deliberately said with a stern face: "How can I give people food casually these days? Who knows if there is a slug virus inside?"
"Absolutely no! This box of snacks was made by me personally collecting the materials of 7 plants, which were made after purification and 12 processes. There are absolutely no viruses."
"Then you eat one yourself first." Su Ya unceremoniously opened the plant leaf packaging and randomly selected a snack to throw it to Zhiyangyang, who obediently ate it on the spot.
The snack smells fragrant and gorgeous in shape, which can attract girls' attention, which shows that Zhiyangyang has indeed put in less effort.
Su Ya thought that Zhiyangyang would not hurt him, so she took a snack with confidence and put it in her mouth, praising: "It tastes pretty good, thank you."
Zhiyangyang smiled happily, and he was a hundred times happier than the primary school student who received praise from the teacher.
The girls immediately rushed up and snatched snacks.
In the following minutes, Bets, Jiang Wei, Fridge, Schwaronson and others came one after another, and Lin Zaishan's command outdoor was full of lively scenes.
Xiao Sa hurriedly reminded everyone to keep quiet.
//////////////
More than half an hour later, Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin returned to the real world. The former said: "Master Lin, the prototype of the Star Soul Matrix Energy Battery has been successfully designed. You immediately install it on the protection network to check its performance."
This star soul matrix energy battery consists of 128 star soul elements, without a fixed shape or volume, and can be installed in any electromagnetic machinery and biological organism. Lin’s choice was a Titan mecha. Soon, the first star soul matrix energy battery was successfully installed.
Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin stared at the energy overload index information nervously. After a few seconds, a miracle happened: the overload index, which had already reached 189%, turned magically and dropped to 139%.
"Ha, it works!" Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin celebrated. "Master Lin, batch-made this battery according to the same model!"
"Affect the order."
The manufacturing time of this kind of battery is about 35 minutes. Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin can only make one each at a time, and Mr. Lin can start construction of 10 at the same time. As long as the second batch of batteries are successfully produced and installed, the energy overload problem of the protective net will be basically solved.
Lin and Xu had long noticed the movement outside the command room, but under the current circumstances, batteries were the most priority, so they ignored the others.
After another 35 minutes, the second batch of Star Soul Matrix energy batteries were successfully installed, and the overload index suddenly fell below 5%. The protective net, which was already in danger, finally stabilized, and members of the network no longer fell into a coma due to energy overload. As long as the protective net is present, it can provide sustainable security protection for Zhongcheng, and Zhongcheng has the time and conditions to calmly deal with the curse of the fire thieves.
//////////////
The door of the command room opened from the inside, and Lin Zaishan and Xu Yuxin were covered in spring breeze.
Schwaronson teased: "Ha, old friend of Sha Lin, how busy are you with the important things about the beauty?"
"Great success!" Lin Zaishan replied happily, "Xu Yuxin is indeed smart, with extraordinary skills and a bright future."
Zhao Feiyan rushed to say, "Captain Lin, Zhiyangyang and I have worked together to design a plan to deal with energy overload of the protective net. Please review it."
Lin Zaishan had not answered yet, and Schwaronson also said: "What a coincidence, Lao Fu and I also came up with a plan."
"Huh? Is it true? Then please introduce it separately." Although the energy overload problem of the protective net has been initially solved, for Lin Zaishan, there are never too many solutions to deal with overload.
Zhao Feiyan said: "If I guess correctly, the protection network's previous strategy to deal with lightning and other things was mainly to guide it to the ground. Doing so would not completely eliminate the overload problem, and it was a huge waste of energy. We do not have to fight against destructive energy such as lightning and lightning, but we can actually actively use them. My idea of Zhiyangyang and I was to divert the lightning and other energy from the protection network to the crystal power plant, mecha workshop, and heavy machinery as much as possible, and drive these equipment and facilities to work. This can consume a lot of energy productively."
"Good idea!" Lin Zaishan praised. He had indeed not considered enough about Zhao Feiyan and Zhiyangyang's plan.
Zhao Feiyan continued: "Not only that, we can also try to drain these powerful energy to weapons such as laser cannons, and then constantly attack the insect swarm outside the city."
"This idea is not bad, but Zhongcheng has no weapon to absorb the energy of the universe." Lin Zaishan held his chin and pondered.
Xu Yuxin suddenly suggested: "As long as the concentric protective net is transformed, can it be used as a weapon with super energy-absorbing attributes?"
Lin Zaishan shook his head, "The Tongxin Protection Network is based on positive energy elements such as compassion and benevolence. The so-called love is not attacking. If the attack attribute is added, it will seriously weaken its defensive ability and even easily lead to collapse."
Zhiyangyang interrupted: "If this is the case, then we can use Titan Mecha and other specialized in creating such an offensive weapon, so that it and the concentric protection net can operate independently from each other."
"It can be adopted. The first suggestion you put forward is implemented immediately, and the second one will be done when you design such a weapon first."
"Teacher Lin, our Tianqin Girls Group is willing to participate in the design of this weapon." Xu Yuxin is now excited when she hears about the work that requires creative design.
"Okay, this task will be handed over to you."
Zhiyangyang, Zhao Feiyan, and members of the Tianqin Girl Group left excitedly.
Lin Zaishan's eyes turned to Schwaronson and Fridge, "What is the plan for the two old friends?"
"Our plan is very simple. Can't you direct those two balls of electric mist? Why not transfer them over Midtown to assist in defense. Since they are electric mist, at least it should be no problem to absorb electric shocks for Midtown, right?"
"Oh!" Lin Zaishan patted his head, "I have to think too much about it, and I have forgotten this point. I will order it now!"
In just a few minutes, two balls of electric mist came over the midtown. They saw lightning and thunder, just like a hungry pony that had been seen for three days, rushed over and "eat and drink for two." They enjoyed it.
Lin Zaishan happily breathed a sigh of relief and asked Bets, Jiang Wei: "Why are you asking me for a question?"
Bets was worried, "The intelligent plants outside the city suffered casualties under the triple blows of strong winds, heavy rains, and thunder. The losses are still expanding. If you let them continue, they will be completely destroyed for up to three days, and Zhongcheng will lose an important barrier against the Zerg."
Schwaronson interrupted: "Since these tree spirits are not feeling well outside the city, why not just put them in the city and hide in the protective net? Anyway, they can walk by themselves, right?"
"You can't put it in the city." Bets shook his head quickly, "These intelligent plants have strong territorial consciousness and aggressiveness. If they are put into the city, they will regard the city as their own territory and attack other species inside, including us humans."
"Can't you restrain them?" Schwaronson sneered: "I thought you were their boss."
"I am like a gardener or a tour guide to them. They are willing to accept my arrangements in most cases, but this does not mean unconditional obedience. If you make them angry, they will lose control. Please imagine how much damage tens of thousands of wild trees will cause to the Midtown!"
