Chapter 708: The First Test
“That’s great!”
Meng Chao was overjoyed.
No one could unleash the power of the instantaneous transmigration device on the planet’s surface better than him.
As long as his forces had four to eight transmigration devices, one of which would be installed in Superstar Resources Recovery’s headquarters. Meanwhile, the other three would be installed in the lairs of the Other World races that he had long planned to develop into allies and servants.
Goods and weapons with Earth’s trademark would be continuously transported to these places, turning more and more Other World races into admirers and va.s.sals of Earth’s civilization.
Even if he was unable to influence the Survival Committee’s decision-making for the time being.
With the transmigration device, he could throw caution to the wind and start fighting first.
Moreover, Meng Chao’s thoughts were even deeper than Wu Haibo’s.
Although the operation to explore the depths of the ancient ruins had been temporarily suspended, it was only due to the end of the Monster War.
The curtain had just begun to pull open on the overall view of the Other World. There was a special phenomenon during this period of time where manpower and resources were in deficit.
Meng Chao believed that with his help, the Dragon City civilization would definitely be able to obtain a large number of resources from the Other World increasingly faster, unlike in his previous life.
The deeper-level exploration of the ancient ruins would soon be resumed.
Dragon City would eventually have to cultivate a new deep diver.
At that time, who would be more qualified to become a new deep diver and dig deeper into the ancient ruins, the first bucket of gold among the rarely-seen treasures?
Would it be those who had beaten the dogs that had fallen into the water at the end of the Monster War and acc.u.mulated some battle merits? However, they did not pa.s.s the ancient ruins test and did not gain the trust and support of the ancient ruins research center.
Perhaps it would be the experienced testers who had gotten mixed in with the research center’s various projects, partic.i.p.ated in many dark technology tests, and pa.s.sed many a.s.sessments, proving their will and loyalty?
“Team Leader Wu, there’s no need to say more. Time is of the essence. Let’s get to work now!”
With that in mind, Meng Chao said without hesitation, “In the next few months, if nothing major happens in the wilderness, I should stay in the Supernatural Tower.
“Putting aside the three to four hours of deep sleep, meditation, and treatment, I still have nearly twenty hours to use every day. Eight to ten of them are for me to cultivate in Battle G.o.d Palace. The rest of the time can be left to our project team. You can arrange it according to your needs!”
Wu Haibo was stunned when he heard that. He said hesitantly, “If that’s the case, will the workload be too full?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Meng Chao grinned. With the help of contribution points, he was probably the person in the city who was not afraid of overloading himself with training, fighting, and testing. “Let’s try it first. According to my body’s feedback, we can adjust it at any time!”
Wu Haibo thought about it and agreed.
A person who could be personally endorsed by Lei Zongchao, the Battle G.o.d, was naturally different from ordinary testers.
After all, Lei Zongchao himself could be considered the first batch of explorers and testers to enter the ancient ruins in Dragon City!
Wu Haibo reported the agreement between the two to the project director, Dr. Lu Tianxing.
The chief transmigration technical expert of Dragon City naturally didn’t have any opinions.
Together with all the researchers, they once again thanked Meng Chao for all his contributions to the transmigration project.
There were three more tests to go.
The project team wanted to let Meng Chao observe today and understand the basic principles of the project. The first test would be officially held tomorrow.
Meng Chao couldn’t wait to try the mysteries of transmigration.
A few dizzy, pale-faced test subjects who were vomiting also expressed their heartfelt thanks for his strong support.
G.o.d knew how uncomfortable it was to experience transmigration. It was as if the body was sitting on an oversized top while the brain was loaded into a centrifuge. Then, it would spin in the opposite direction at the maximum speed.
No matter how high the realm of the extraordinaire was, after a single transmigration, they would become dizzy and weak.
And because there were too few test subjects, they had to undergo eight to ten teleportations every day. It was truly unbearable.
They hoped that Meng Chao himself could create a new miracle and create a potion formula with a better buffer effect so that everyone would suffer less!
“This is our auxiliary teleportation device.”
In front of a teleportation door, Wu Haibo pointed at a rune machine that looked like a combination of a super large slingshot and a rocket thruster and explained to Meng Chao, “With this device, we can instantly accelerate humans to more than 100 kilometers per hour. This is the maximum teleportation speed that humans can withstand at the moment.
“Of course, in the beginning, it’s impossible for you to test the maximum speed. When the teleportation portal opens later, you can walk in at a constant speed and feel it first.
“If you have any suggestions on the teleportation device or any ideas on the future teleportation plan, you can also bring it up at any time—this is the right of the tester.”
“Sure!” Meng Chao said straightforwardly.
Combining the memories of his previous life and the combat experience of this life, he really had his own opinions.
“I think that we shouldn’t blindly pursue the ultimate speed.”
Meng Chao seriously said, “I see that after pa.s.sing through the teleportation door, the test subjects have become so weak that they can’t even pick up their nail clippers, let alone play with knives and guns.
“I think that although the two portals are installed in absolutely safe places under the control of human beings, they may not be safe in the dangerous and unpredictable environment of the entire Other World in the future.
“What if our destination has been occupied by the enemy, and the enemy, who is armed to the teeth, is waiting for us to teleport over and walk into the trap?
“Although the hypothesis is extreme, every time it happens, it will lead to an uncontrollable tragedy. Therefore, we must be prepared to start the battle the moment we teleport over.
“Also, as long as the enemy is not an idiot, the teleportation gate will be the priority target. Therefore, our teleportation time may not be as long as four to five seconds every time. We must be prepared for the teleportation array to be destroyed after only a few seconds of activation.
“Even if we teleport three to five powerhouses or one or two main tanks over in a few seconds, it will be useless.
“I know the mining industry. There are super engineering vehicles that integrate automatic exploration and mining equipment, three-dimensional printing drones, and automatic fire control defense systems. Together with the invincible ability of mechanics, as long as there is one of them, it will be a mobile base. The energy will continuously transform the resources underground into an overwhelming number of drones, mining vehicles, and six-legged spider-shaped thinking tanks.
“If we can work together with companies that are experienced in this field and develop a ‘mini base vehicle’that is specially used for teleportation, I believe that it will be of great help in spreading the civilization of Earth.”
Meng Chao thought of LÜ Siya.
Atlas group had started out in the mining industry. Naturally, it was no stranger to all kinds of fully-automated super mining engineering machinery.
The Atlas machinery under its banner specialized in developing such equipment.
The business opportunities here were worth exploring in depth.
After all, he would be cultivating in the transcendental tower for the next few months.
Be it the Lair’s reconstruction or the few projects at hand, they were all being watched by Lu Siya.
It was not right to take advantage of her for free.
He would still have to share the benefits with Lu Siya.
“Not bad.”
Meng Chao’s suggestion indeed made Wu Haibo fall into deep thought. He pondered for a moment and said, “Meng Chao, your perspective on the problem is much more practical than ours. After all, we are all nerds in the lab, but you are an experienced tactical expert.
“I think that when the project enters the next round of testing, we should invite you and a few other military testers to sit down and discuss the most suitable tactics and weapons for the teleportation device. Can We come up with an operation manual together?”
“No Problem!”
Meng Chao agreed immediately.
“Then, please put on the buffer suit and start your first teleportation!”
Wu Haibo helped Meng Chao put on the fluffy and soft buffer suit and injected buffer fluid into the interlayer, making Meng Chao feel like he had turned into a shivering human-shaped jelly.
“Don’t worry. After hundreds of tests, the instantaneous teleportation technology itself is quite mature. With your physical fitness and spirit energy reserve, as long as you are not too fast, there will definitely be no physical problems.”
Wu Haibo said, “However, I still have to remind you that you might see a similar illusion when the star map was activated during the teleportation process. It is also an ancient summoning. Ignore it, eliminate all distracting thoughts, and keep moving forward without any distractions.”
“Is that so?”
Meng Chao was slightly dazed. “You will be summoned by the ancient era when you pa.s.s through the teleportation gate?”
“To be more precise, you will be summoned by any relic of the ancient era. By using the technology of the ancient era and practicing the spirit magnetic field of the ancient era, you will be able to listen to the ancient ruins’ summon.”
Wu Haibo said, “Many psionic scientists believe that the so-called spirit energy deviation is caused by the ancient ruins’ summon. The reason why human beings can become zombies, extraordinary beings, or even monsters of the ancient era is that they can only be nourished by visible bacteria and viruses. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that a small pathogen could infect human beings into such a hideous and terrifying state.
“No one knows what the ancient ruins’ summon is all about. Perhaps it’s the mysterious information that invaded the bodies of people on Earth with the ancient bacteria in the past few decades, or perhaps it’s a long, long time ago, when our ancestors were still struggling to survive in the form of hairless monkeys on the prairie of Earth, they implanted the key to unlock the mysteries of the ancient into the depths of our ancestors’ gene chains.
“Fortunately, not all ancient summons are mysterious, evil, and terrifying. There are also many benefits brought by the ancient ruins’ summon that are of great help to our understanding of this universe and ourselves.
“Therefore, no matter what we see, there’s no need to panic. Perhaps those are just the last words, wills, and relics pa.s.sed down from the ancient civilization to us.”
Meng Chao’s heart moved, and he asked, “Leader Wu, since there are all kinds of bizarre scenes during the ancient ruins’ summon, has anyone seen Dragon City?”
“Dragon City?” Wu Haibo was slightly startled.
“Yes, since that crystal corpse can predict the transmigration of the people of Earth at the end of the 21st century, has it described to us through the ancient ruins’ summon… the scenes after Dragon City transmigrated to give us some inspiration and guidance?” Meng Chao asked hopefully.
