Chapter 816 Current Status of Crystal Energy Research
On the 3rd floor of the canteen of the Night Province Military Region, at the entrance of the Sword Sharpening Hall.
When Gu Chengyuan saw the Southern Theater Chief of Staff coming, he immediately called out:
"Chief of Staff Li Xuemou is here? Please take a seat! The food is ready!"
"I'm so sorry, I was delayed by something just now and didn't come downstairs to pick you up!"
Hearing this, and thinking about what he had seen and heard along the way, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, immediately reacted and waved his hand, saying:
"No, no, I saw it on the way here. We are brothers in the same army, and we are one family, so we should not have different opinions!"
"It's a good thing that he didn't pick me up. It means Commander Gu treats me as his own! Hahaha~"
See it?
After hearing what Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command, said, Gu Chengyuan reacted slightly and then stopped worrying about it.
Never mind. Since he can think of a reason himself, that's great.
"Please sit down, Guihong. You can arrange for someone to serve the dishes!" Gu Chengyuan greeted and gave orders to Zhou Guihong.
"Yes!"
After Zhou Guihong turned around and quickly walked out of the box, Gu Chengyuan, Chief of Staff Wu Bin, Deputy Commander of the Provincial Military Region Shao Gang, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command Li Xuemou and others took their seats immediately.
"I wonder what Chief of Staff Li likes to drink? White wine, beer, or red wine, I'll serve you all!"
Thanks to the effects of the muscle-building and bone-strengthening pills, Gu Chengyuan now speaks with extra confidence at the dinner table.
Well...
Hearing this, Li Xuemou, the Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, who had long heard of Gu Chengyuan's name "Bacchus", was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and evaded the question:
"Commander Gu, I have a mission tomorrow morning, so let's just have some fruit drinks!"
"Eating is mainly about friendship. As the saying goes, friendship is enough to satisfy one's hunger!"
When saying this, Li Xuemou, the chief of staff in the Southern Theater who had always been known as a "wine lover", was filled with bitterness.
"Is this my own line?? Ah!!"
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. One or two people may say it doesn't matter, but the entire visiting group said so after coming back. Then Commander Gu is really awesome in the bar!
Considering the important things to do later, he could only force himself to suppress his inner desire for good wine.
Special offer!
He had seen the red stamp on the wine box that said "Specially supplied by the imperial court"! Do you know how tempting this was to an old drunkard?
It's rare to come across this thing in the end times, and it actually said to drink juice? ? What a sin! ! (Stamping feet and punching randomly.jpg)
juice?
Although Gu Chengyuan was a little surprised about this, he didn't think of forcing the other party, so he agreed with a happy smile.
"No problem, drinking juice is also good, drinking juice is healthy!"
"Guang Qiang, go get someone to replace all the wine with juice!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, Pu Guangqiang, who received the order, quickly went out and called two soldiers to replace the wine boxes that had been piled up in the corner of the private room with orange juice.
...
Soon, the dishes were all served, including Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Braised Sea Cucumber in Golden Soup, Wensi Tofu Soup, Chinese Cabbage in Boiled Water, Bird's Nest Soup, Matsutake Stewed Chicken Soup, Spicy Chicken, Stir-fried Beef Dried Beef, and Fried Pork with Houttuynia Cordata...
There were not many dishes. The first one was to entertain Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, and the latter part starting with the spicy chicken was Gu Chengyuan's favorite.
With the experience of previous receptions, Zhou Guihong knew that Gu Chengyuan did not like light "high-end dishes", so she privately instructed the canteen to add some of the leader's favorite dishes into the main dishes of the banquet.
In this way, we can take into account the level of the banquet, give face to the guests, and satisfy the taste of the leader.
Sure enough, Gu Chengyuan felt much better after seeing the authentic southwestern dishes such as spicy chicken and fried dried beef being served at the back.
"Come on, fill up our Chief of Staff Li's glass. This orange juice is grown on our farm and is freshly squeezed. It tastes sweet and sour, but not greasy!"
"And this chicken soup stewed with matsutake mushrooms. The chicken in it is not an ordinary chicken, but a mutant chicken raised in a military farm. The meat quality and nutritional value are far higher than any breed before the apocalypse!"
"And this beef is also produced from mutant yellow cattle on the military farm. Whether it's the taste or the quality of the meat, it's inferior to any of the world's famous cattle before the end of the world. Not only is it extremely nutritious, it can also replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body."
Listening to the introduction of Commander Gu in front of him, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, felt like he was being sold health products...
Is it really that amazing? Eating beef can replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body? ? Is it true? ?
As if he saw the doubt in the other person's eyes, Gu Chengyuan added casually: "Does Chief of Staff Li find it a little unbelievable?"
"I thought so when I first heard about it, but after reading the research report issued by the Biological Research Center, I found that it was indeed true!"
"These mutated animals and plants are all rare treasures! They can strengthen the body, nourish the kidneys, slow down aging... If any of these effects were available before the end of the world, they would definitely be sold at sky-high prices!"
“But now, they are scattered in the fields of the end times, with no one using them!”
"So the end of the world is both a disaster and an opportunity!" When mentioning this, Gu Chengyuan felt a little emotional for a moment.
"As long as we humans can get through this difficult time, relying solely on these mutated plants and animals, it won't be a problem for our biotechnology level to advance by a few hundred years!"
"I wonder if you have done any research on the crystal core of this zombie mutant beast?" When mentioning this, Gu Chengyuan also took the opportunity to show his concern for the Southern War Zone's research on the "crystal core".
The Southern War Zone is not some small fry, nor is it some doomsday folk force. It is impossible for them not to study something like crystal cores that are produced on a large scale.
Just like the current Ye Province Military Region, with sufficient resources of its own, the research investment in the "Crystal Energy Warrior" project is not only considerable, but is also increasing rapidly, and it is walking on two legs!
Both external conversion device type and biological agent type are required!
This is the difference between big and small forces. Just like the "small countries" such as Fuso and Goryeo before the end of the world, due to the influence of body size and resources, any technological investment in the future is forced to gamble on the destiny of the country.
Because of their size, they have to constantly make trade-offs and cannot have everything.
But it’s different with the University of Tokyo next door. No matter what you say, I want them all. I can’t go wrong if I choose all of them!
They are pursuing all technical routes for nuclear fusion and new energy, and even for the fifth-generation and sixth-generation aircraft, each has its own technical route, and they produce whichever one is more useful...
In this way, no matter which path is right in the future, there will be a lot of tolerance for mistakes, and it will not be as tragic as Fuso, which bet on the wrong new energy and exploded on the spot!
The current Ye Province Military District has the same idea. Whether it is firepower or biological power, research and development are all progressing in parallel!
Since I can’t see the future clearly, I can only choose all!
Therefore, the "Crystal Energy Warrior" project has now been separated into a large department in the Ye Province Biological Research Center, and has been broken down into various aspects and directions.
The two most important technical routes have made great progress after this period of development compared to before!
The crystal energy recovery device has developed to the "Second Generation of Wushen", which puts less burden on people and has a longer battery life.
As for biological agents, the "Soldier Type I" agent has undergone phase I, II, and III clinical trials in succession, completely controlling the mortality rate to below 10%.
If the survival rate can be maintained at this level in the fourth phase of testing, it will be used as a basis for improvement and development of utilization efficiency!
But in general, even though Gu Chengyuan has taken advantage of the System Architecture Research Institute, the progress of the two technical routes is still relatively slow, and there is still a long way to go before large-scale equipment use.
Of course, this is for Gu Chengyuan who has cheated. For ordinary poor people, it is good enough to have something to eat. How can they be picky...
After all, whether it is the "Second Generation Martial God" crystal energy recovery device that can briefly burst out inhuman strength, or the "Soldier Type I" potion that can enhance physical fitness, they are all real improvements in combat power!
The most important thing in the end times is to stay alive, and the second is cost-effectiveness...
