134: Chapter 134 This is Chapter 134

"That is a super material we obtained from the Giant World."

Zhang Dabiao explained, "That world has giants dozens of meters tall. After entering through the portal, we discovered skyfall steel. Its strength is 5 times that of titanium alloy, its toughness is 3 times, but its weight is only a third."

Lin Wan's eyes widened.

Five times the strength, three times the toughness, and only a third of the weight?

What kind of concept was this?

"If we use skyfall steel to modify the Savior's armor," Tao Zhe said, "the defense capability can be increased several times. Moreover, the weight of skyfall steel is only a third of titanium alloy. The Savior armor weighs 46 tons. If we completely replace it with skyfall steel, the weight can be reduced to around 15 tons, saving another 31 tons."

Zhang Dabiao calculated: "Plus the 8 tons saved by the energy System, that's a total of 39 tons..."

An excess weight of 39 tons could allow for so many things to be done.

Installing more weapons, increasing ammunition payload, strengthening the anti-gravity System to Breakthrough the sound speed, or even adding a whole set of secondary weapon Systems.

Lin Wan felt her worldview collapsing.

crystal cores, skyfall steel, portals, the Zombie World, the Giant World...

She had never heard of these things before.

But now, seeing how detailed Zhang Dabiao's description was, these things seemed to actually exist.

"skyfall steel has another more important use." Su Mingyuan looked at Tao Zhe, "Do you still remember what the Jingcheng Base is researching?"

Tao Zhe froze for a moment, then his eyes widened: "Controlled Nuclear Fusion."

"Correct."

Su Mingyuan said, "skyfall steel not only has an extremely high melting point, but also room-temperature superconducting characteristics."

Tao Zhe's hands began to shake again, and his voice went out of tune: "If we conquer the Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology and use skyfall steel to build a small nuclear fusion reactor, we can fit nuclear fusion into the mecha."

"That's right, exactly like that. By then, the energy problem will cease to exist completely," Su Mingyuan said.

In the short term, using crystal core energy could allow the Savior to immediately enter actual combat.

In the long term, using small nuclear fusion.

At that time, the Savior would possess nearly infinite combat time, firepower, and mobility.

Su Mingyuan closed the thick stack of files in his hands, producing a muffled sound.

"Young Miss Lin." He raised his head, "I need to take these Materials back to the Main World right now."

Lin Wan was stunned: "Right now?"

"That's right, right now."

Su Mingyuan saw Lin Wan's hesitation, and his tone softened a bit: "What should be given to you will not be lacking in the slightest. There will be enough food for your base's 12,000 people, and in two weeks, we will also take you to the Main World."

As soon as his words fell, he had already turned around.

"Dabiao."

"Present!"

"Find boxes and pack up all these Materials. Every page of the Savior's design blueprints, every data parameter, and Professor Qiansen's notebooks—not a single page can be left behind."

"Got it!" Zhang Dabiao got up and walked right out.

"Tao Zhe."

"Here!"

"You are responsible for counting the technical documents. The parameters for energy, weapons, and armor Materials must all be complete."

"Understood!"

Tao Zhe's eyes were frighteningly bright.

He knew all too well how much these Materials were worth.

This wasn't simply the design blueprints of a single mecha; this was the essence of over a hundred years of mecha technology from the Zerg World, something exchanged with the lives of countless scientists.

If they could bring these technologies back, paired with crystal cores and skyfall steel...

Humanity would truly have a chance to turn the tables.

Standing to the side and watching them bustle about, Lin Wan felt a mess in her heart.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Su Mingyuan glanced at her and said nothing.

He was no bleeding-heart saint.

Encountering technological Materials of this level, and dawdling while waiting for others to nod in agreement? That would be having something wrong with one's brain. They had to be brought back to the Main World at the fastest speed; that was the real business.

As for whether Lin Wan would feel offended?

That was a matter for later.

Getting the items in hand came first.

Half an hour later.

A dozen large boxes filled the open space outside the archive room.

Design blueprints, technical parameters, material data, test reports, Professor Qiansen's handwritten notes... All Materials related to the Savior were stuffed into the boxes.

Holding the last stack of documents, Tao Zhe bent down and placed them in gently, fearing they would be damaged.

"The inventory is complete." He straightened up and reported, "1,200 technical documents, 120,000 design blueprints, and 600 research notes."

"Good."

Su Mingyuan nodded, closed his eyes, and concentrated his attention.

[portal opening in five minutes.]

"Pack up." He opened his eyes, "Going home in five minutes."

The Longyan Squad immediately went into action.

In addition to technical Materials, this time they also brought back quite a few samples from the Zerg World—Zerg exoskeleton fragments, special metal samples, ion battery modules...

These things were all valuable for the scientific research of the Main World.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Su Mingyuan stood in the open space, with boxes piled all around.

The Longyan Squad was fully geared up and ready to go.

Lin Wan and the people from the Seventh Shelter stood far away and did not approach.

The air began to distort.

A few seconds later, a beam of black light lit up mid-air.

The portal opened.

"Move!"

Zhang Dabiao let out a roar.

The team members lifted the boxes and sent them into the portal one by one. The moment the boxes touched the gate, they seemed to be sucked in, disappearing into the darkness.

A dozen or so boxes all went in within a few minutes.

"Young Miss Lin." Su Mingyuan gave Lin Wan one last look, "Take care."

"You too." Lin Wan nodded hard.

Su Mingyuan turned around and stepped into the portal.

A sense of weightlessness struck.

The surrounding scenery twisted, stretched, and deformed; light and shadow intertwined, and space-time was dislocated.

Then—

Boom.

His feet landed solidly.

Su Mingyuan opened his eyes.

The portal plaza of the Tianmen Base.

Back.

"Captain!"

The medical team had been waiting there for a long time; a dozen people in white coats rushed over holding testing instruments.

"Quick, comprehensive check!" shouted the head of the medical team.

This was standard procedure.

Every time they returned from an Otherworld, they had to undergo strict physical examinations—whether there were injuries, infections, or if any viruses or parasites from the Otherworld had burrowed into their bodies.

Su Mingyuan and the team members cooperated.

Body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, blood sampling... one item after another.

"Captain Su, all indicators are normal."

"Zhang Dabiao, normal."

"Tao Zhe, normal."

"Lin Yang, normal."

...

All passed.

"Good." The head of the medical team breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Su Mingyuan nodded and looked at the boxes transported out from the portal. Base logistics personnel were currently moving them.

"Be careful," he reminded them, "these are all priceless treasures."

"Understood!" the logistics team leader acknowledged.

Core of the Zerg-occupied zone.

A foul-smelling creep crawled all over the ground. Hundreds-of-meters-tall insect nests stood tall amidst the ruins, with Zerg moving in and out.

Deep inside the insect nest, a three-meter-tall flesh cocoon floated in the center of the cave, its surface veins clearly visible, with a human-shaped outline inside.

A messenger bug flew in, landed on the flesh cocoon, pressed its tentacles tightly against it, and began to tremble.

The patterns on the surface of the cocoon lit up, growing brighter and brighter.

Snap.

Cracks appeared, and mucus gushed out.

The flesh cocoon split open completely.

A slender hand reached out, fingers spread wide, grasping the messenger bug in its palm.

"Interesting, a group of ordinary people without any cultivation can actually perform cross-boundary teleportation."
