Volume 2 The more labor you bring, the greater your responsibility Chapter 18 [Primary Industry III]
"According to recent international joint research, gene locks and superpowers are two different evolutionary directions. After unlocking the gene lock, you will not be able to awaken superpowers, and after awakening superpowers, you will not be able to unlock the gene lock. Experts speculate that it may be that the body's genetic structure has undergone unknown changes, heading towards two completely different evolutionary directions. The degree of opening of the gene lock can be divided into four levels. The first stage awakens combat consciousness and enhances physical strength. The second stage controls genes, changes body structure, and is immune to all poisons. Zombie viruses can be forcibly killed by controlling genes. The third stage involves the opening of genes in the brain, which can increase intelligence and gain the ability to imitate others. The information we currently have is at most up to the third level of gene locks, but it is speculated that there is a fourth level, which is a power close to invincibility... the power to blow up a plane with one punch and dismantle an aircraft carrier with bare hands!"
"As for superpowers, they rely on continuous awakening to gain more superpower energy, and then gain various enhancements based on the awakened abilities. According to the current information, more than 90% of the superpower awakeners in the world have power-type superpowers, and special superpowers are relatively rare!"
"Nowadays, the international community has classified extraordinary people into levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 according to the number of gene locks unlocked and the number of times superpowers awakened. Each level represents a different combat power. I hope that our extraordinary people can use their power reasonably, actively support government actions, and protect our compatriots! Humanity is facing a huge crisis like the extinction of dinosaurs... We must unite!"
"Finally, there is currently no stable and effective way to awaken superpowers. We urgently need a technology that can extract the 'energy factor' of zombie energy crystals. Local governments and non-governmental organizations must protect local scientists and explore this technology. At the same time, once there are any results in extraction, please contact the Department of Heaven and Earth Network directly..."
"Next, Professor Liu Mang will explain to everyone how to maintain mental health in the end times..."
…
There is not much useful information in the following content. Shen Jin’s thoughts are all on the classification and extraction technology of extraordinary people.
"The second-level gene lock can make her immune to the zombie virus? Li Moxiao activated the second-level gene lock at that time... Then she would not be infected by the virus... But she collapsed in the end, I'm afraid ..."
Shen Jin sighed again.
"Extraction technology... Should we hand over an [extraction machine] to the government? I don't know if it will cause a series of troubles. It would be better if Lao Fu is here, and I can have someone to discuss things with!"
Shen Jin doesn't have a satellite phone now. If he finds one, he thinks he can provide the government with an [extraction machine], which would be considered as contributing to the country.
Of course...if Lao Fu were still alive, he would be able to research this kind of potion that can induce people to awaken their superpowers. At that time, his self-defense force would be an extraordinary self-defense force!
"Oh, by the way, the USB drive containing 'Gene Optimization Drug 1.0' is still in the basement of the villa in Q City. I must find it back later. If that drug can be mass-produced..."
…
In the workshop.
Shen Jin opened the system's [Module Store] interface. The [Primary Industry III] in the middle was shining and was currently unlockable.
[Ding~! Do you want to spend 100 world coins to upgrade the "Industrial Module"?]
【yes】
After Shen Jin made his choice in his mind, the industrial system was upgraded again!
[“Primary Industry II” upgraded to “Primary Industry III”]
[Unlock: Ore washer, pump, hydroelectric generator, fluid/solid canning machine, fermentation machine, semi-fluid generator, CESU storage battery, CESU charging station, mining drill, chain saw, electric wrench, storage backpack, solar helmet]
"Okay, the [mineral washing machine] is great. It can increase production. The [pump] can draw up groundwater. Now we don't have to worry about clean water sources!"
The future function of the [solar distiller] is to collect crude salt, and then use the [extractor] to directly extract refined salt.
This industrial upgrade also added two more power generation channels: [Hydroelectric Generator] and [Semi-fluid Generator].
"Hydroelectricity is probably poor. The waves at the beach are too small. It would be great if there was a waterfall and a row of hydroelectric generators underneath!"
"Semi-fluid generator... I'm talking about biogas power generation. This thing is pretty good. Raise some animals and mix their feces and plants together to ferment biogas, and you can generate electricity. You can try it out later..."
[CESU power storage device] is an upgraded power storage facility that can store a full 30,000 kWh of electricity!
Once fully charged, you can go out with unlimited energy!
It’s enough electricity for an entire high-rise building to use for a month. How terrifying…
Of course, it takes a lot of energy to fully charge it. With those five solar generators, it will take forever to fully charge it.
The rest are a few practical tools, a portable battery storage backpack, and a [solar helmet] that can generate its own electricity.
This helmet can be worn at any time. It can charge various small appliances in the backpack. It is very practical.
The defensive power is roughly the same as that of the [Iron Helmet].
For this upgrade, there are a lot of things waiting for Shen to do. First of all, he needs to increase the mineral output, and there are hundreds of [crushed iron ores] waiting to be processed.
[Mine Washer] Synthesis formula:
[Iron plate] × 3, [Iron barrel] × 2, [Electric motor] × 2, [Basic mechanical shell] × 1, [Circuit board] × 1
A lot of [Iron Ingots] are used, but Shen Jin has no shortage of them now.
Synthesize two [Ore Washing Machines]!
The [ore washing machine] cannot work by itself, and a [pump] is needed to draw water from it.
【Pump】Synthesis formula:
[Empty Unit] × 4, [Mining Pipe] × 2, [Circuit Board] × 1, [Basic Mechanical Shell] × 1, [Wooden Faucet] × 1
They are all relatively easy to synthesize materials, and consume more [Iron Ingots] and [Tin Ingots].
Shen Jin directly made four [pumps]. In addition to equipping two [ore washers], the other two were used to supply drinking water to his living area and the Self-Defense Force training area.
Shen Jin made several water pipes with rubber and began to arrange the new equipment. First, two ore washers were installed on the beach, and pumps were installed on the seabed to directly pump seawater to supply water to the ore washers.
Then pull a wire from the workshop to connect the two instruments to ensure adequate power supply.
[Ore washing machine] can wash [crushed iron ore] into [pure crushed iron ore], [a small handful of iron powder] x 2, [stone powder], or some other substances.
9 [Pinches of Iron Powder] can be synthesized into one [Iron Powder], and [Iron Powder] can be smelted into the same amount of [Iron Ingot].
This will increase the output by 2/9. At the same time, [Stone Powder] is also useful. It can be used to make [Building Foam] later, which is a good material for upgrading building walls.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM~!”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM~!”
Two [pumps] and two [ore washers] started operating. Shen Jin made two [funnels] and two [boxes] to collect all the output items, so he only needs to collect them once a day.
"Just wash it slowly in the sea..."
Then, Shen Jin made a [CESU battery storage device] to replace the [battery storage box] in the workshop to store more electricity.
Then make [Mining Drill], [Chainsaw], [Electric Wrench], [Electricity Storage Backpack], [Solar Helmet]
A whole set of tools was developed and they were all tried out.
[Mining Drill] can mine any block. It is stronger than iron series tools, but not as strong as diamond series tools. However, it can be recharged. One drill can replace a bunch of tools, making Shen Jin's other tools completely obsolete.
All you need to carry is a [mining drill] and a fully charged [power storage backpack], and you can dig underground to your heart's content.
By the way, in order to prevent encountering high-hardness materials, you must also bring a [Diamond Pickaxe].
"Let's go! Let's go to the sea!"
Shen Jin couldn't wait to go to the underwater black mine to try it out. It happened that he had almost eaten all the seafood he dug yesterday. He decided to get some more fresh ingredients today and continue to explore the open air...hehehe!
