CHAPTER 709: CHAPTER 428: MECHANIZED SPECIALIZED POLLUTANT SOURCE (PART 2)

"However, at that time the research progress was relatively slow, and no threat could be seen.

"Counting from that time, it has been twelve years since the Sikes Civilization.

"In twelve years, the research on the Mechanical Demon has yielded results.

"Not only the Mechanical Demon, but the Abyss is also evolving, evolving into a pollution source specialized for machinery.

"In other words, the disaster of the Second Gaia Star in the Sikes Civilization was actually caused by a machine-specialized Abyss Pollution Source.

"The machine-specialized Abyss Pollution Source spread, contaminating a large number of mechanical citizens, eventually rendering the entire planet uninhabitable.

"If you ask me whether humans might face the same Mechanical Demon crisis.

"My answer is, the machine-specialized Abyss Pollution Source is equally effective on Blue Star’s machinery, but compared to the Mechanical Demon, we should be more concerned about the pollution source that causes cellular biological mutations."

The machine-specialized Abyss Pollution Source is indeed effective on all mechanical units, and the more intelligent the mechanical unit, the more severely it is affected.

However, humans are not a mechanical civilization, and compared to mechanical units, the human population is larger.

Blue Star has a population of seven billion; would Abyssal Contamination of these people not be more effective than contaminating a few robots?

Of course, vigilance is still necessary, but the machine-specialized Abyss Pollution Source is not the defense focus, the focus is still on the pollution source that devours cellular organisms.

...

Subsequently, several senior staff raised directional issues regarding the Sikes Civilization’s interstellar fleet.

"In the video material, a large number of interstellar warships from the Sikes Civilization appeared. Should we rush to build interstellar warships?"

Lu Heng had thought about this question long ago.

Very early on, Lu Heng had submitted technology data from a 1.6-level civilization.

If humans really want to build interstellar warships, once this portion of technology data is digested, they can be constructed.

However, there is one issue.

What is the purpose of building interstellar warships?

Humans do not currently need to conquer other planets, are they to be used against the planet we live on?

When dealing with Abyss Demons on land, interstellar warships and land-based weapons do not show a gap.

It’s not that the combat power of interstellar warships is inferior to land-based weapons, but under equal pricing, the quantity of land-based weapons constructed can be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times that of interstellar warships.

Of course, research on interstellar warships is certainly necessary, but according to the timeline, Blue Star has already gradually entered the late stage of Abyssal invasion, and rescuing civilization with interstellar warships is certainly too late.

Even if we rush to consume the relevant technology now, then launch the interstellar warship construction project, waiting for the first interstellar warship to skyrocket would take at least seven or eight years, if not ten.

Moreover, one interstellar warship is not enough. To have them form combat power, let’s talk again in ten years.

With the current rate of Abyssal invasion, it might not hold out until that time.

According to Lu Heng’s memory timeline, only a year remains until the rebirth time point of the past life.

Therefore, Lu Heng’s answer was: "Research must certainly be conducted, continue technical reserves, but before the technology matures, I do not recommend large-scale construction."

Several people discussed for a long time. After exploring the related topics, Qi Jinhui led Lu Heng out of the office to the conference room next door, where they joined Su Muyu and the others to check the top-level resources available for exchange from the war zone.

Qi Jinhui opened a Crystal Core list on his laptop, saying: "Last time you mentioned wanting to find a suitable Skill Crystal Core. Here are all the A-level Crystal Cores currently available from the war zone, see if there’s anything you need."

The list recorded a row of Skill Crystal Core names, and clicking with the mouse also showed the data details of the cores.

Lu Heng took the mouse, sliding the wheel to scroll down.

Most Skill Crystal Cores, Lu Heng could tell the specific effect of the skill just by looking at them.

Only a few unfamiliar skills required opening to view the data details.

Lu Heng currently had six skills: A-level [Thunder Force Field], S-level [Divine Embodiment], A-level [Wind God Step], S-level [Space-Time Stasis], A-level [Damage Retrospection], and B-level [Spiritual Dominance].

This skill set placed in the human Superpower User group is undoubtedly peak combat power, basically finding no opponent able to counterbalance.

However, if counteracting a Demigod-level existence is needed, that’s another matter.

Now two instances of 8-level summoning have appeared, and future occurrences will become more frequent.

In an 8-level Abyss Battlefield, the possibility of a Demigod-level Abyss Demon King appearing is high, so to survive this apocalyptic crisis, and to change humanity’s destiny, mastering a force against Demigod-level existence is essential and urgent.

Lu Heng had analyzed his skill set, acceleration skills, attack skills, clone skills, survival skills, the skill set is relatively complete.

If anything is still lacking, it is a regular defense skill.

In the defense skill aspect, relying solely on [Damage Retrospection] is obviously insufficient.

The effect of [Damage Retrospection] is strong, but the skill’s duration is short, only acting as a survival trump card.

If faced with sustained attacks like gunfire, this skill is unable to counter.

...

The quantity of A-level Crystal Cores in the war zone inventory is not large, only more than 50.

After all, Crystal Cores only wield value when issued to Superpower Soldiers for use.

Moreover, as the Abyss invasion progresses, the probability of high-level Crystal Cores appearing will increase.

Therefore, high-level Crystal Cores untouched in one’s hand will depreciate.

Of course,depreciation is relative, at this stage any one A-level core is a priceless treasure, even more money can’t buy one, only top-level resource exchange can obtain it.

Numerous Superpower Soldiers are within the army; as long as there is a soldier suitable to use a core, it will be issued after review.

Thus, even the military won’t retain too many A-level cores.

Going through all 50-plus cores doesn’t require much time.

Lu Heng glanced through them roughly, finding several usable skills though none stood out.

After looking through once, Lu Heng focused on the several usable skills, seriously considered them, but still found them unsatisfactory.

If it were others, even if unsatisfactory, they would have to select from these skills.

Lu Heng is quite different; if not satisfied with A-level cores, he could entirely choose from B-level cores.

So, after viewing the A-level core list, Lu Heng asked: "Let’s look at the B-level cores."

The matter of Dragon Power Special Team being able to reward upgrade skills is no secret to the high-level war zone.

Qi Jinhui participated in the Special Forces’ formation, so he knew Lu Heng had mastered a skill upgrade pathway.
