As early as on Earth, humans have developed dozens or hundreds of special metals with various properties and uses.
They are widely used in some basic industries and have brought indispensable help to the development of science and technology.
It was not until later that Lu Kuan and others followed the portal to the wasteland, and only added some elements unique to the wasteland by mistake, and then stood on the shoulders of giants and found a new path.
Dissimilar high energy alloys.
This is the unified name given to the alloy created by a new synthetic method four years after the wasteland.
Discover, add, try, and verify more and more elements.
Humans have added these "exotic species" unique to the wasteland to the original metals, and used special preparation methods to prepare more and more high-energy alloys with abnormal functions.
But at the same time, the threshold for using these high-energy alloys is gradually increasing.
After getting it, Somo spent a whole day smelting and reacting, and only completed the preliminary processing of one percent of the alloy.
Subsequently, these preliminary processed alloys need to undergo three more refinement treatments to eliminate all the external stress generated during the manufacturing process and be used in the manufacturing of the Daily Armor.
"Don't be impatient!"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once I become familiar with the preparation process, the speed will definitely become faster."
Su wiped the sweat from his head, carefully put all the alloys into the storage space and put them away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
If the purpose of processing the alloy is not to make Sun Chaser Armor.
As the deputy dean of architecture of the Academy of Sciences in his territory, he could easily find a few researchers to help with the matter, so there was no need for such trouble.
But when it comes to the Daily War Armor, it needs to be remanufactured for future mass production and taking it out to the outside world for repair and maintenance.
This process must be completed by Sumo in person.
In this way, a solid foundation can be laid for future tall buildings.
There are no years in the mountains, and there is no year in the cold weather.
Although Sangtian Town is located in the center of Tianyuan territory, without the huge group of pigeons, it still looks a bit desolate.
Soma immersed himself in working with special alloys.
Unknowingly.
Another four days passed by in the blink of an eye, and June 30, the eighth year of the wasteland calendar, quietly arrived.
During this period.
After completing his mission, Sun Quan had gone to Baoyu County with the remaining two people. There were only four old employees left in Liangfang responsible for the minimum operation of the store.
After receiving the support of new weapons from the Academy of Sciences, Feng Long also took the 300 special attack teams already in place and boarded the train to the Dragon Phoenix territory in batches.
As for the seventeen members selected by the first generation of the Heroes Association, four more were added based on the two previous defections, leaving only eleven members still trying to get their votes.
Sumo had already been mentally prepared for this, and naturally did not have any emotions.
And if it weren’t for the missions forced by the game, and the upcoming territorial disputes.
He even somewhat likes his current regular life, immersing himself in the world of scientific research every day and resolutely filling up the progress bar step by step.
Inside Liangfang Laboratory.
"Finally one-tenth completed!"
Stab.
Throw a piece of red-hot alloy into the pool and watch the white water vapor rise.
Sumo shook his neck twice with satisfaction, stood up and moved his slightly sore lumbar spine from side to side.
The progress of preparation has improved much faster than previously expected.
With the concentration of interstellar humans, he was able to immerse himself in manufacturing for fifteen consecutive hours.
This is enough to make him more than five times more efficient than ordinary people.
Coupled with the increasing familiarity with the process.
If it weren't for the Baoyu County manager's urgent need for him to take office.
In about one and a half months, the first-generation version of the Sun-Chasing Armor will be ready to leave the factory, unleashing its bloody power.
“Actually, it won’t take too long.”
"Baoyu County still has the foundation. With their help, as long as the orders I issue can be carried out, it will be fine."
I heard a noise coming from the quiet courtyard, and the sound seemed familiar.
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, opened the laboratory door and walked out.
"Hey, why are you back?"
"Has the investigation in Baoyu County been completed?"
In the empty courtyard, Zhang Da was followed by seven or eight Liangfang employees, who were coming in carrying large and small bags.
Seeing Su Mo walking out of the laboratory, Zhang Min's face changed slightly as he followed behind. Although he was no longer as quarrelsome as before, he still awkwardly put down his things and went to the front hall.
"Boss, have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the day of the Bowen exam!" Zhang Da came forward happily, with a smile on his face, as if he was more than ten years younger.
I left Sangtian Town and went to another completely unfamiliar industry in Baoyu County.
It only takes about ten days.
Not only did it not make him feel any trouble, but it gave him a sense of comfort and rejuvenation.
That long-lost surge of blood, the kind of dopamine secretion produced when dozens of people sit together to discuss and come up with the correct result.
This made him deeply grateful that he could accidentally bump into Somo's "thief ship".
"Tomorrow is July 1st?" Su Mo calculated in his mind, and then he remembered that the time had already reached July without realizing it.
When he came to this ruins, the timeline was only May.
I didn't expect that time would fly by so quickly. A month passed before I knew it, much faster than in the real wasteland.
"We have already preliminary summarized the data in Baoyu County, and the remaining people's job is to fill in the collected data to form our further summary judgment on the market."
"But judging from what I have collected so far, boss, you really have a keen eye. The potential of Baoyu County is much greater than that of our Sangtian Town."
"It's simply a treasure land!"
There were all kinds of sighs in his heart, but because he was not well educated, Zhang Da held it in for a long time and could only spit out the word "treasure land".
But look at the excitement.
Sumo smiled, once again verifying his previous judgment.
Baoyu County is different from other counties and towns in the territory. It is the only place that lacks managers and allows various industries to grow wildly.
But this lack has both disadvantages and advantages.
If you compare other places to a skyscraper with dozens of floors, compare managers to construction and maintenance workers.
The innate foundation does reduce the difficulty of construction, but it also relatively increases the difficulty of maintenance.
Once there is a problem with the foundation of the building, if you want to make up for it, you have to demolish all the dozens of floors that were originally built.
It’s quite difficult!
Baoyu County is like scattered private houses on flat floors.
The foundation is poor and there are no results.
At first glance, it was in dilapidated condition, and there was no place that could be salvaged.
But on the other hand, repairing its foundation is not a big problem. Even if all the houses are demolished, a more splendid building can be rebuilt very quickly.
This is the advantage.
"Boss, look at the blog post. Can he be admitted to the Academy of Sciences?"
Seeing the smile on Su Mo's face and his expression of silence, Zhang Da asked with a hint of hope: "If Bowen can pass the exam, our store will have connections from the Academy of Sciences, and it will be even better to do business by then.
, those mud-legged people in Baoyu County must respect us three points!"
"Don't ask me, it's more reliable to ask Bowen yourself."
"Besides, the exam is tomorrow, so you better not put any pressure on Bowen today!"
Through the window, Sumo could clearly see Zhang Bowen still concentrating on flipping through the collection of wrong questions in his hand, immersed in it.
Compared with before, he seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes now.
And the reason is also very simple.
After these four days, seeing how immersed Su Mo was in scientific research, Zhang Bowen's young man's unwillingness to admit defeat gradually allowed him to enter another level and have the prototype of "faith".
It’s just about how far we can go in the end.
Entering the Academy of Sciences is only the first step. Even Su Mo himself is not sure where Zhang Bowen will end up in the future.
Perhaps Lu Lu, like other researchers, was forced to leave the Academy of Sciences when his years were up.
Maybe I can achieve something, truly join the Academy of Sciences, and have my own scientific research project.
When it comes to teaching and educating people, Sumo is a complete novice.
All he can do is to make Zhang Bowen's journey as smooth as possible within the limited time of this year.
In the future, in this timeline that is isolated from the wasteland of reality.
Whether it is a dragon or an insect, it all depends on Zhang Bowen's own efforts.
The next day.
Just after six o'clock, drizzle began to fall in the sky, bringing a touch of coolness to the sultry weather.
Today is the day when the Academy of Sciences recruits students, and even the voices discussing the exams in Sangtian Town have suddenly increased, as if it was a festival.
And in Liangfang.
The sky was just getting slightly brighter, so Su Mo personally cooked a breakfast for Zhang Bowen. He also fully charged the electric car that had been left for many days and drove it to the entrance of Liangfang. It looked like the cars of students taking exams in the civilized era.
Parents.
"Bowen, don't be anxious for today's exam. Dad believes that you will not be worse than others in the written test. But for the group interview later, you must keep in mind the precautions written in the exam cheats that dad bought for you. Don't worry.
Don’t offend those instructors.”
"Don't be impatient. Everyone has ten minutes to present and explain. If they beat you to it, just let them speak. Anyway, the quota will be announced in a day."
"."
On the dinner table.
With Su Mo as the teacher taking over most of the business, Zhang Da as the father is not idle either and is still working tirelessly on high-frequency output.
On the way, Zhang Bowen got tired of listening and resisted twice.
They were all defeated by Zhang Da's ruthless suppression: "Dad, this is not for your own good."
Zhang Min wanted to give some advice, but because Su Mo was sitting next to him, he could only lower his head and drink porridge to cover up his embarrassment.
"Okay, Bowen already knows this, so don't miss him!"
In the end, Su Mo stood up, interrupted Zhang Da's nagging, and brought some peace to the dinner table.
It’s time to eat.
Zhang Bowen put his bag on his back and the group got into the Neng car. Su Mo turned in the direction of the Academy of Sciences as he was familiar with the road.
The examination with as many as three thousand candidates from all over the world was a rare spectacle in the wasteland.
These people are almost all the richest people in the major territories, and the pomp and circumstance of taking the exam is also bigger than the last.
On weekdays, there are few capable cars on the road leading to the Academy of Sciences.
But when he arrived near the Academy of Sciences today, Sumo was shocked to find that even the two-way four-lane road was blocked by these capable cars coming to take exams.
There are heads everywhere, and there are armed guards everywhere who are responsible for maintaining order and wearing blue uniforms. From time to time, you can even see the staff of the Inspection Department walking around among the crowd, buckling up those who violate the rules.
Walk.
And on those few temporary towers that didn't exist before.
Sumo even heard the loudspeaker playing back and forth the rules of the exam and the items that were strictly prohibited.
“This is so magical”
"Who would have thought that after eight years in the wasteland, an exam of this scale could be organized?"
Through the car window, Sumo could clearly see the expectations in the eyes of parents taking exams.
Perhaps the Tianyuan Territory is not the best territory among all the territories.
But Tianyuan Academy of Sciences is the only educational and scientific research institution in the entire New World, an existence comparable to the three major territories!
Here, countless emerging technologies that change the destiny of mankind are brewing.
Dozens of wonderful items that have changed human life have also been produced here.
Not counting those ancient technologies obtained from the ruins.
When it comes to real innovation, even the major scientific research institutes in Longqi Territory feel inferior to them.
"Boss, there's really a traffic jam ahead, how about we get off the car and walk over?"
Rolling down the window, Zhang Da stretched out his head to look around for a while, and couldn't help but suggest.
There were originally so many cars that the originally spacious road was crowded and difficult to pass.
However, some people still parked their cars on the roadside to save trouble, which resulted in many candidates having to get down and walk to the Academy of Sciences.
"It's okay, just wait a moment!"
Holding the steering wheel with his left hand, Sumo raised his right hand casually and pressed a button that he only knew its function but had not yet used.
Invisible radio waves are emitted.
In about ten seconds, two teams of ten Academy of Sciences guards wearing conspicuous yellow uniforms came galloping from a distance.
After confirming Somo's car, they formed a team of five people, one behind the other.
In less than three minutes, a straight forward road was stretched out, just enough for the car to move forward.
"???"
"this"
I had never seen such a scene before. Seeing more and more parents who were taking exams casting envious glances, Zhang Da, who was sitting in the back row, felt his vanity satisfied as never before.
Although he doesn't know why he enjoys such treatment.
But this kind of treatment from a master can almost make him faint from pleasure, so how can he care about this now.
"Dad, you'd better close the window." Seeing many people looking in through the car window, Zhang Min couldn't help but have a red blush on her face.
Let's just say it's unpleasant, the look that comes in gives people a feeling that is several times more comfortable than defeating Su Youzong in his dream.
But let's be honest, Zhang Min felt a little flustered when she thought that this was a privilege brought by Sumo, as if there were two villains fighting in her mind.
A man shouts to compromise, you will never be his opponent in this life, and your desire for revenge is absolutely nonsense. Listen to him, follow him, and you can live a better life that you never dared to think about before.
One of them shouted that he must never give up the fight and that he must always bear in mind the arrogance of the other party. Sooner or later, he would suppress Su Youzong so hard that he would regret every decision he made at that time.
That kind of inexplicable self-esteem makes Zhang Min dream about it every time he sleeps.
If he had not gone to Fishman City and had not turned against Somo, he would have been with Somo smoothly according to his family's plan and lived a happy life together.
But the more she thought about it, the less she wanted to compromise and the more she wanted to prove herself.
"Oh, you heartless child, why did you close the window?"
"Look at their envious little eyes. The treatment we enjoy now, I'm afraid it won't be the same if Mayor Chen comes here!"
"Hey, isn't this Liu Changsha!"
As soon as he slapped his thigh, Zhang Da suddenly saw an acquaintance from the business world in the past, and his expression became even more excited.
He had tried to treat this person to dinner many times before to build a relationship and expand a larger market, but he was always avoided by the other party with the excuse of not having time.
Zhang Da knew in his heart that it was a lie that he had no time, but it was true that the other party disliked him for being a mud-legged person who only knew how to farm.
But now.
I saw him sitting in a capable car, and there were these men in yellow who didn't know where they came from, leading the way.
The expression on Liu Changsha's face was simply more exciting than that of the opera singer. Even three points of shock, three points of envy, and four points of regret are not enough to express it clearly!
"Mayor Chen is here." When Zhang Da said this, Zhang Min's face turned redder and she simply turned her head away.
After returning from the Flying Eagle Hotel, other members of the Zhang family asked more than once what happened at the party.
But she had always dealt with it vaguely, never daring to tell the truth.
If these people knew that Su Mo was sitting at the dinner table, he could actually make the so-called Mayor Chen "submissive" and look like he was just listening to instructions.
I'm afraid there won't be a second voice at all about Zizi Group's expansion plan that night!
"Who the hell is he!"
As the Neng car drove into the gate of the Academy of Sciences, I observed that only my Neng car could enter, while the others were blocked outside.
Seeing Su Mo's ordinary face in the rearview mirror, Zhang Min couldn't help but become more confused.
It is outrageous enough for an ordinary free market electrician to be able to develop the Power Stone Sickle and Power Stone Harvester in a short period of time.
If she also had to contend with Mayor Chen and receive special treatment from the Academy of Sciences, this was completely beyond her comprehension.
"Dean Su, are you here?" After entering the last door, six armed guards came up.
Because they have to face the researchers directly, no one can guarantee that there are no people with ulterior motives among these candidates.
For the safety of researchers, no candidates are allowed to carry weapons, and the storage space will be sealed at Level 5.
Even if you drive into Somo, you must also be subject to such restrictions.
"I'm sending the candidates away, this is my apprentice!"
"Forget it, just let him in, we won't go in."
After rolling down the window and looking at the crowd of people inside, Sumo simply stopped the car.
"Bring your things, we will wait for you outside the examination room"
"Teacher, don't worry." Zhang Bowen, who was in the passenger seat, nodded obediently and quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
However, after taking two steps, he suddenly walked back to the car window and faced Sumo: "Teacher, you are a good person. Although my sister may have done some bad things in the past, I can guarantee that she has never hurt anyone's life."
, it’s just that the wasteland is too cruel, she had to wear a body of thorns to protect herself and us. I dare not make conditions with you, but you said before that if I am admitted to the Academy of Sciences, you will promise me something that will not violate your principles.
request."
"Bowen." Realizing what Zhang Bowen was going to say, Zhang Min in the back seat suddenly lost control and shouted, looking straight at Zhang Bowen.
"Teacher, if I can pass the exam, please forgive my sister and give her a chance to start a new life!"
After Zhang Bowen finished speaking word by word, Zhang Min quickly glanced at Somo's face in the rearview mirror, feeling a little expectant and a little scared, but mostly still at a loss.
She had no idea what she was expecting or what she was afraid of.
But when those dreaming scenes flashed through her mind, she still tightly clutched the light cyan dress she had specially chosen last night to highlight her figure.
One second.
Two seconds.
Su Mo in the rearview mirror was still unfazed, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
It seems like a century has passed, and the concept of time seems to have been lost.
As Zhang Min couldn't stop trembling, the voice that used to sound annoying but now sounded like the sound of nature finally sounded in her ears.
"Okay, as long as you can be admitted to the Academy of Sciences, the teacher will agree to your request!"
