Chapter 607: Dismantling the Battleship
"What else can we cooperate with? Even my most trusted subordinates have chosen to betray me."
Leonard squatted down dejectedly.
"What's there to be afraid of? Those people are just a bunch of fence-sitters. Your daughter can bribe them with benefits, and you can also bribe them back with better things."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"For what? Resources or money? I've given you everything I can." Leonard was a little depressed.
"Of course I'll use this." Zhang Tuohai patted the box of immortality potion.
"No one can resist the charm of eternal life. As long as you offer these as rewards, I believe they will immediately return to your side and become your most loyal minions."
Zhang Tuohai said with a smile.
“But this thing failed.”
Leonard said.
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know that we have failed?" Zhang Tuohai asked with a smile.
"But how can we gain their trust? They are not fools." Leonard hesitated.
"This is easy." Zhang Tuohai gave a few instructions to the bracelet, and soon a self-propelled machine came to Zhang Tuohai with a bottle of medicine.
Zhang Tuohai threw the potion to Leonard.
"Drink it."
Leonard looked at the can of medicine in his hand, opened it casually, and drank it.
Anyway, at this point, he has nothing to lose, so he doesn't care even if it's poison.
After drinking the potion, he felt his whole body starting to feel hot, and then the skin on the surface of his body became dry, and then broke into pieces and fell down.
"ah!"
Leonard shouted and tore his skin with his hands. With such force, he actually tore his face off.
Beneath the skin is neither flesh nor bones, but a brand new, vibrant face.
At this time, most of the dead skin on Leonard's body had fallen off, and he was shocked to find that the surface of his body had been completely renewed. He looked no different from a young man in his 20s, exactly like his younger self.
However, Leonard could feel that although his body looked younger, he was actually still the same 70-year-old self, weak and old.
“What is this?”
Leonard looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief.
"It's just a potion that can restore a person's youthful appearance. This evidence is enough to prove the authenticity of these potions."
Zhang Tuohai said as he smiled and patted the "eternal life potions".
"If it can restore my youthful appearance, then is there a potion that can restore my youthful strength? You must have one, right? Give it to me, I'll give you whatever you want!"
Leonard said excitedly.
Only a dying person would be so obsessed and fanatical about youth and life.
"Of course I do, but I'm not a philanthropist and I won't give it to you for free." Zhang Tuohai said with a smile, "Besides, I have several similar potions. As for which one you can get, it depends on your sincerity."
Zhang Tuohai looked calm and composed.
In fact, the potion that Leonard drank was a special potion he obtained when he was refining genetic potions. This potion can restore a person's youthful appearance and remain frozen until death, without any signs of aging on the face. It is a bit similar to the anti-aging pills in fairy tales.
Zhang Tuohai also has potions that can enhance physical strength, but they are all strong drugs. Given Leonard's body, it is unknown what the consequences will be after he takes them, and whether they will conflict with the anti-aging potions.
However, it was enough to hang Leonard.
Anyway, he only has a few days left before leaving this world, so it should be okay to fool around and believe it.
As for what Leonard would look like in a few days, he didn't care.
You know, Leonard is the mastermind behind the virus that spread all over the world and turned it into a living hell. It was very merciful not to kill him with a single shot.
"Really? That's great. I'll do whatever you ask me to do." Leonard said happily.
"Then recruit those people to work for you again. This is your mission. If you can do it, it means you can still be our partner. If you can't, then I'm afraid we can only end our cooperation with regret."
Zhang Tuohai said this while spreading his hands helplessly.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Leonard left with the box containing the "eternal life potion".
This time, Zhang Tuohai did not follow, but sent a self-propelled machine to follow.
Now it is enough for Leonard to have Xiao Ai watching him through the self-propelled machine, and Zhang Tuohai has more important things to do and has no time to keep an eye on Leonard all the time.
Zhang Tuohai picked up the remaining immortality potion from the table and put it in his pocket.
Although this thing is a failure, it is still useful after all, even if it can be used as research material.
At this time, Zhang Tuohai strolled to the dock, and Xiao Ai was directing the self-propelled machine to move various experimental materials in the laboratory back to the car.
Those self-propelled machines were like worker ants, continuously moving large piles of supplies into the vehicle.
"How is it? How many are left?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"About 5 minutes left." said Xiao Ai.
"That's good. In five minutes, we will start dismantling the battleship." Zhang Tuohai said.
"Can we really dismantle this big guy?" Hearing Zhang Tuohai's words, Xiao Ai also showed a rare look of excitement.
There are a lot of good things on this battleship. If they are all dismantled, it can be taken to a higher level.
Five minutes later, countless self-propelled machines entered the battleship like ants and began to dismantle the battleship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons.
The battleship was so huge that the dismantling process became very slow. After two hours, only one third of the battleship had been dismantled.
However, Zhang Tuohai is not in a hurry about this as he has the time advantage.
By noon, the entire huge battleship was dismantled.
It is indeed a 40,000- ton battleship, and with the extensive modern modifications that Reynard made to it, the battleship has become a huge treasure trove.
In addition to luxurious buildings such as the deluxe cinema, constant temperature wine cellar, Roman baths, etc., Zhang Tuohai, whose combat effectiveness had been significantly improved, dismantled three items of equipment.
They are the Ark's supercomputing server, all-electric propulsion system and new propeller system.
The supercomputer server of Doomsday Ark is the super server installed by Leonard on the battleship. It also has the most advanced fire control and command system built in. As a result, it is now a bargain for Zhang Tuohai.
After loading this thing onto the car, Xiao Ai's computing power tripled, and the data processing capability was comprehensively improved. Moreover, because a large amount of data source code was obtained, Xiao Ai had strong editing capabilities and could make adaptive modifications to the Aegis system, making this system more suitable for Zhang Tuohai's armored vehicle.
As for the all-electric propulsion system, it directly reorganized the energy supply system in Zhang Tuohai's car, greatly improving the efficiency of energy utilization.
The last new propeller system increased Zhang Tuohai's speed on the water.
Originally, Zhang Tuohai's speed on the water surface relying on the propeller was about ten knots. Now it has tripled to 30 knots, a great improvement.
