Half a month ago, the inhabitants of the Green Planet probably never imagined that the situation would change so quickly.
Not long ago, the Eastern Country people were being hunted down and besieged by Aus people. They took up guns, brought dogs and sat in cars, heading out together with an autumn hunting adventure in mind, as if hunting rabbits. They pursued and sniped foreigners one by one.
But now, the Aus survivors are shivering in some corner of this world, doing their best to hide from the hunt of the other tribes... The most ruthless hunters now are actually the survivors from the other countries.
In comparison to those Dead Survivors, the Eastern Country people, who conservatively lost more than 30% of their population, can still be considered lucky. After all, those unlucky ones who have made it to this point have a survival rate of probably less than 1%.
And this frenzy for revenge, or hunting frenzy, will not stop before the new Divine Ship arrives... Lu Ping’an highly suspects that even when the Divine Ship comes, there will still be a bunch of people waiting for the Aus people on their way to board.
"Is the overall situation settled?"
The development of the situation has become almost irreversible.
Four City’s determination to eat up the other side of this world means that they are prepared to bear the "cost".
"There should be two Rule-level professionals coming over, and later there should be permanent ones."
"Of course, it’s the Saphire people. The participation of the desert Saphire people greatly alleviates our lack of high-level combat power."
"They plan to migrate some residents over here? They should agree, but the number won’t be too high... If they really want to move in large numbers, various ’accidents’ will happen."
Director Fang speaks very directly to Captain Qian and Lu Ping’an, during the meeting of real "insiders".
To secure this world and avoid possible retaliation from Hod company, it is necessary to station some high-end combat powers; This is not good news for Rule-level strongmen who do not want to leave their homeland.
And the person chosen for this "dispatch" is unsurprisingly someone from Wang Xier’s group.
In a sense, this is also good news for the Ancient city headquarters, as it helps prevent too many Saphire people with high-end combat power from gathering in their homeland.
But from the Saphire people’s point of view, they are not afraid of being busy with work, instead, they are worried about being neglected and guarded against.
Cooperating, calculating, and working together, this is the process of the fusion of the two tribes.
At least Director Fang and Wang Xier were quite satisfied with the result.
Development and research are to be handled by dedicated personnel. With high-end combat power coming in to ensure security, professionals in development and research will be called upon through special channels... Of course, the Eastern Country people from other countries and those left in their homeland will also participate in the development of this world.
Of course, this does not matter much to Lu Ping’an; He has fulfilled his promise, and what comes next is more about the thought of future benefits.
He is only a leader of a small team, responsible only for his own and his companions’ future...
"That’s all the Divine Bone fragments? It seems too few..."
"Not bad, at least more than expected. Thanks to your thorough bombing, otherwise, with such a large crater, we wouldn’t be able to find these small fragments."
During this journey through the Exotic Realm, the so-called "Ancient Divine Beast" was temporarily put aside. Instead, the Vortex Stones derived from the ancient divine beast bones made a splash.
Those Vortex Stones and their derivatives have been confirmed as key research targets and future main products. The weapons made of the Divine Bones themselves are too powerful to be ignored.
Among the few Informed-persons, the existing "Divine Bone fragments" have become the most valuable targets for contention, as it is the Rule-level professionals who have to put in all their efforts to knock out the usable fragments. This ensures that these items can hardly be mass-produced.
In this chaotic battle, several giant Divine Bones just "disappeared"... However, Lu Ping’an estimates that once they leave this world, the unprocessed Divine Bones will quickly lose their original power, at least significantly discounted.
"...Put it away for now. It’s a pity that I thought there would be a few big pieces when we dropped that thing."
The "nuclear bomb" was detonated directly at the Aus people’s headquarters, and there were Divine Bones as "protective barriers" at their headquarters.
After the incident, the Eastern Country people naturally cleaned up the battlefield and found some Divine Bone fragments as a result.
However, it’s difficult to say whether those fragments were blown out or belonged to the original headquarters storage... because the protective-barrier Divine Bones are all intact, with no noticeable cracks due to their massive size.
As the most valuable spoils of war, these Divine Bone fragments were naturally allocated internally, with Lu Ping’an’s side receiving four pieces in a small jar, which seemed to be a large portion already.
Lu Ping’an had no intention of keeping these things... "Divine Bones" are the privileges of this world, and once they invade the rules of another world, their value will naturally decrease.
"Use it all up."
By using it as a core and component, it should be possible to produce non-polluting products and then somehow turn them into permanently taboo items, preserving their properties to the greatest extent.
This is the traditional thinking of professionals, but it’s not something that can be accomplished just by putting in some effort.
"Fortunately, the Aus peoples’ ’legacy’ has given us a lot of accumulation..."
What Lu Ping’an was flipping through were the recently acquired research results of the Aus people.
"The conversion factor of the Vortex Stone, uh, 1560% to 13800%... What the hell is this? Can we completely ignore the rules if we have the authority?"
In the end, the Vortex Stone is a catalyst for converting thermal energy into mechanical energy, and according to the experimental results, its conversion rate is around 15 to 140 times.
Under normal circumstances, energy conservation dictates that conversion should result in decay, with a conversion rate of only a few percent or even less. However, it seems that it doesn’t plan to follow the physical rules at all. It is the "privileged" product of this world... Its existence completely rubs traditional physical rules into the ground.
If the information extended only to this level, the research teams of the Eastern Country could handle it by spending some time, but the important part is the subsequent content.
"If it is brought back to Earth, the conversion rate drops to between 40% and 95%, and it will decay over time, eventually reaching an average conversion rate baseline of around 35%."
This is the "answer" that can only be obtained by traveling between the two worlds, and it is also an important reference for the short-term commercial value of these ores.
Lu Ping’an flipped through it, and there were some experimental applications for local cars, bed manufacturing, and heavy equipment production.
Honestly speaking, it does have some value for industrial manufacturing, but the conversion rate is too subtle. Considering the expensive "transportation costs", it doesn’t have much value either.
"It seems that many non-polluting products can be used..."
Lu Ping’an thought of Wang Xier next door, who suggested using it on their main land-based ship industry, which yielded good results.
There was also some content in the materials.
"If it is made into components of non-polluting products, the conversion rate can reach 70% to 300% in the short term..."
This is quite powerful; it is evident that "pollution" allows it to retain part of its core rules, but...
"...After the first energy consumption, the conversion rate returns to between 60% and 98% when recharged."
Having lost the "privilege" of the original world, it must now adhere to the principle of energy conservation again. But this level of conversion rate should provide a high level of utility.
These should be the "core products" of Hod company; those powerful "energized hand cannons" brought back, for example.
With these written materials, the help they provide for research and development is huge. Wang Xier and her team from next door are already considering mass-producing the new generation of thermal engines.
Even without the core data and process, merely from these known structures, the correctness of many research ideas can be determined without taking wrong paths.
However, Lu Ping’an would not attach so much importance to it if it were just a "treasure" of this level.
"Successfully converting a non-polluting item into a taboo item increases the conversion rate by about 20 times in this world and about 4.5 times after returning to Earth (but at a cost)."
This proves that if it is really made into taboo items, it can indeed be brought back. However, this isn’t over yet...
"A non-polluting item integrated with Divine Bone fragments still maintains a conversion rate of more than ten times even when returned to Earth... This is just a rough calculation, and theoretically it could reach over fifty times. However, the ’flame’ needed to activate the Divine Bone is too difficult to control. The experiment self-destructed (destroying the research base) before the further experimental results were obtained."
"Going one step further, integrating Divine Bones into taboo items... The production failed, and the sixth laboratory turned into a deep pit. But we won’t give up; it’s just that our superiors keep denying our applications for experimental materials (Divine Bones)."
If it’s going to be done, it might as well be the highest-grade stuff.
At this moment, Lu Ping’an was working on completing the experiments they hadn’t finished.
A tall "Bone Armor" was placed in the workshop, mainly composed of Vortex Stones and inlaid with some "fragments" in the core areas.
At the moment, Fang Wen was bustling around.
