CIATB Chapter 1529 New Base
Chapter 1529 New Base
Chapter 1529 New Base
The dusk sky is boundless, and the brown clouds above are like a coiled dragon, spreading all the way to infinity.
The ground under his feet was red, and countless wind and sand carried a pungent smell. Walking on it, Lu Ping'an wondered if he had arrived at Mars, the planet imagined in classical science fiction.
He stretched out his hand and squinted his eyes, but still felt a little suffocated.
And the people he brought with him were even more subtle.
Most people were wearing a combination of oxygen cylinders and gas masks. The heavy protective clothing and power armor made Lu Ping'an feel more and more like he was on an alien planet.
"Su Yuanyuan, how long will it take them to adapt?"
Among the group of armored guards, Lu was the most eye-catching.
In fact, if Lu Ping'an is really thrown into the void and the universe now, he only needs to "modify" himself to adapt completely.
Right now, he can clearly feel that the function of his lungs is improving, and his body is actively adapting to reduce oxygen consumption.
But Lu Ping'an knew even more that if he really encountered an environment with no oxygen at all, his "human skin" would be completely peeled off. Now he did not need oxygen circulation to survive, and he was still breathing probably just out of body inertia.
"No, no, I still need a little humanity." At least, within a hundred years, Lu Ping'an does not intend to give up his human form and humanity.
His disciple, at least in name only, the fifth-level doctor Su Yuanyuan, was also checking the recent physical examination records.
One has to admit that, although the soldiers under Lu are elite in all aspects, they are still far inferior to the beastly fighters.
Seven hours and 20 minutes is the time required for fighters above the second level to adapt to the environment of the 200th floor, and most of the researchers and staff under Lu Ping'an have already adapted here for more than 20 hours. Lu Ping'an estimated that it might take even longer.
The combat personnel above the Ritsu-ling level were fine, but the logistics and R&D teams all suffered from "altitude sickness" and their work came to a complete halt.
But he was not in a hurry at all. In fact, he was even willing to waste more time.
"My vitality is obviously increasing."
Lu Ping'an could feel that his "life scale" was actually growing steadily in this world. This meant that he had gone further on the path of life, but this growth was obviously abnormal.
As a result, as he climbed up, Lu Ping'an's life points were also subtly increasing.
[Congratulations to the host, you have gained 5 life points.]
Although the amount is not large, it happens about once every ten minutes or so, which is quite considerable overall. It seems that no points will be given for areas and heights that have been visited, and points can only be given if you climb higher. The final total amount of improvement should be limited.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Lu Ping'an does not go crazy and really climbs to the thousandth floor where it is said that only rule-level creatures can survive.
But these benefits came too suddenly, as if the whole world was giving Lu Ping'an "life", which made him a little unable to understand.
He specifically held a small meeting with Big Cat and the others to discuss the situation, although he was responded with a look that said "What are you doing in Versailles?"
"In your 'General Theory', aren't Constant Motion and All Souls two sides of the same coin? Or maybe you haven't derived a complete concept yet, but now you exist as a conceptual creature. Your existence itself verifies this theory. This world will improve the rider (Constant Motion), but judging from the results, it seems to have been improved above your essence."
The big cat gave a response that seemed to make sense.
This is probably what it means when you say no but your body is very honest?
However, it seems to be a good thing. Lu Pingan also feels that his ability to "control fire" has improved slightly. This improvement in the cornerstone of life is a reward for those who adapt to the environment.
"Well, it looks like it will take a long time for all the researchers, maybe ten days, maybe a few months. According to previous data, if they can't adapt within half a year, they will be sent back to their home countries."
Su Yuanyuan from the Church of the God of Fighting completed a new round of physical examinations and gave a heartbreaking response.
The combatants are fine, as they are obviously more adaptable, but those low-level researchers probably cannot take off these survival suits. Not every biologist or gardener is combat-oriented, and the potion masters are now guzzling their stock of potions.
"Let those who can't adapt return to the courtyard. There will be some work they can do there."
Lu Ping'an sighed, but this is not the only solution.
"Notice, encourage them to work as drivers, runners, and fighters, and there will be additional salary subsidies. If they join the team for more than a year, I can subsidize a loan (life points), interest-free and without repayment period."
Since the local church gave Lu Ping'an an idea, he naturally gave it a try.
I guess, as long as Mr. Lu pays for it, no one will miss this opportunity to strengthen themselves.
Mr. Lu also felt that it was time to give some benefits to those who had followed him through several worlds.
"Don't worry, let's build the base first."
The domineering church on three sides was very sincere. The city given was one of the most valuable areas in the world. There were not only rare resources and minerals around it, but also relatively friendly intelligent races.
There were originally two teams stationed here, with a population of nearly two thousand. Although the explorer mechanism is still in operation, through special approval, smuggling and foreign trade, a force of the level of the Orthodox Church can always generate some population.
Since this is a world with more than 200 floors, the adaptability of ordinary humans is quite poor. Most of the residents are either low-level professionals or foreign residents who can adapt to the local environment. Lu Ping'an saw many "energy creatures" among them.
Lu Ping'an had interacted with them before, and judging from the information, this world is their natural advantage environment.
Population is always the foundation of all social actions. No matter how strong an individual is, it is difficult to develop independently from the group. As a logistical management project, Lu Ping'an needs a large amount of human resources.
"When is the meeting with the local tribe scheduled?"
"You can go anytime. They have no concept of time. It's basically difficult to deal with them. You'd better bring some weapons and guards."
With only a few hundred or a thousand people, it is too shabby for a city. In fact, many tasks in the city are entrusted to local smart groups.
It's just that the previous city lord seemed to have a lot of unpleasantness with them, which directly led to their large-scale migration. Lu Ping'an has read the information and it's not the fault of the previous city lord. It's just that this coordinator's job is too difficult.
"So, my top priority now is to invite these gentlemen back?"
".They are the most valuable local workforce."
Su Yuanyuan responded with a smile, but the implication was that there was really nothing that could be done about it.
The shortage of labor is comprehensive, especially since the rules of this world are ever-changing. It is basically impossible to successfully localize large-scale equipment. You can't ask high-level professionals to lay plaster, build walls, and act as tower cranes.
"Okay, I'll try it."
Lu Ping'an did not resist at all. In fact, he was also very interested in these intelligent races that could live above the 200th floor. He was interested in the physical level.
"Please be sure not to take action. If you capture samples, please do not be discovered." And this cheap disciple Su Yuanyuan is worthy of being a member of the Life Department. She really knows a lot.
