#657 - Chapter 657: Fake Vibranium
"If I'm not mistaken, Shanshan, you'll be studying it too, right?" Shen Huiying asked.
"That's right. You can rest assured, I'll only be drawing blood for samples, it won't cause any harm to Shanshan," Dongfang Chen said.
"I understand," Shen Huiying nodded.
"Now, I can let you return to the living area. But before you leave, you need to swallow the capsule I provide. It contains a miniature monitor, I hope you can understand," Dongfang Chen had to guard against her, to avoid harming innocent people.
"I can continue to stay here," Shen Huiying hesitated.
Once controlled by others, it means losing freedom.
If Dongfang Chen changes his mind later, she won't have any room to resist.
"Alright then. I'll have Shanshan come visit you regularly," Dongfang Chen didn't force her.
This was already the best outcome.
As long as she's willing to cooperate with the research, nothing else matters.
"Thank you!" Shen Huiying nodded.
......
After ending the conversation, Dongfang Chen instructed Zhang Yuan Kui that he could take Shanshan back.
Besides Dongfang Chen and Zhang Yuan Kui, no one knew Shanshan's identity.
He naturally wouldn't mention it to anyone, and neither would Zhang Yuan Kui.
So, there wouldn't be any problems with Shanshan returning to the living area.
As for whether Zhang Yuan Kui was willing to tell her Shen Huiying's real identity, that was their family matter, and Dongfang Chen wouldn't interfere.
"Xiaolin, has the scan of the bases within China been completed?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Only about 40% has been completed," Xiaolin replied.
Dongfang Chen had previously instructed Xiaolin to scan all bases within China to determine the number of Mutants within China.
Especially high-level Mutants.
This was equivalent to a major census of China's strength.
However, the task failed after many bases gradually lost contact.
"Aggregate the screened data and count the number of Tier 6 and above Mutants," Dongfang Chen ordered.
"Okay, the summary is complete, please review."
A visual chart appeared on the screen.
From the chart, it could be seen that the highest level was Tier 7, with a population of 267. Tier 6 had more, with 626 people.
"That's not right, why is the highest level only Tier 7?" Dongfang Chen found it unbelievable.
According to Shen Huiying's description, Dongfang Chen estimated that there were quite a few Tier 9 Mutants within China.
As for the aggregated numbers, they were not reliable because the scan was not completed.
"The scan results are like this," Xiaolin replied.
Xiaolin doesn't have subjective thinking abilities, so she won't have subjective views on the data.
"Mongka, you've been listening the whole time, where do you think the problem lies?" This kind of question is best discussed with Mongka.
"There's a problem here that I haven't been able to figure out," Mongka said, puzzled.
"Tell me," Dongfang Chen said.
"1 billion years ago, Mutants didn't exist. Why are there so many now?" Mongka asked.
"I've thought about this question too. I have two guesses:"
"One is that Mutants are special abilities that evolved later. The evolution time must be later than the formulation time of the Blue Star Ecological Transformation Plan. In that case, you lack observation tasks in this area."
"The second is that besides you, there are others laying out the plan on Blue Star."
"Very likely," Mongka nodded.
In fact, Dongfang Chen had these doubts as early as when he discovered the Wakandans of Egula.
The ancestors of the Wakandans were neither Dragon Country people nor cultivated by Mongka. But they also came to Blue Star, which means that others are also eyeing Blue Star.
"The situation we are facing is getting more and more complicated!" Dongfang Chen sighed.
......
April 10, 2057 AD, 3:00 AM.
The third piece of Vibranium successfully arrived at the space station.
At the same time, the first small spacecraft was finally assembled successfully.
In order to maximize the combat effectiveness, this small spacecraft was made entirely of pseudo-Vibranium material.
Although its performance is slightly worse than Wakanda Vibranium, it has several obvious advantages:
1. Low cost. This material is made with a 3D molecular printer, using common metal materials. And each component is integrally formed, eliminating the processing of Vibranium.
2. Repairable. Dongfang Chen added the properties of memory metal to the pseudo-Vibranium, which can automatically repair damaged parts.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the damaged area is relatively small.
If the damage is more severe, some additional materials need to be added.
3. Renewable. Vibranium needs to be purchased from Egula and is a limited resource. But pseudo-Vibranium can be mass-produced and can achieve mass equipment.
