Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 177 Testing Superpowers

Lu Yuning put this matter aside for the time being, but she thought of something else. Seeing Zhang Muyan was about to leave, she quickly said, "Old Zhang..."

"What are you doing? Do you suddenly want to give me an official position? Do you think I still have some ability?" Zhang Muyan looked a little proud.

"If you want, I'll let you organize the glimmer of light," Lu Yuning said casually.

Zhang Muyan shook his head vigorously: "No, no, no, I can't do this. Although some of your ideas are immature, you have an innate advantage. This leader must be you."

"Oh? How come I didn't know that?" Lu Yuning asked curiously.

"You may not be able to see it yourself, but you possess strong personal charm and leadership qualities. This is why the Weiguang group supports you wholeheartedly."

Lu Yuning smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but that's not what I want to talk about."

"All right"

"I'm quite curious about your special ability. It will play a crucial role in our future development."

"Oh, my ability, you should be able to guess it. It reduces friction. I can't really say it reduces it, but it can reduce friction to zero. It's really crucial for some technological products."

Lu Yuning nodded. He had guessed this before. He continued to ask, "Will the friction force automatically recover when the supernatural power stops?"

Zhang Muyan was stunned for a moment, realizing that Lu Yuning might have misunderstood. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, you misunderstood. My ability is to change the state of the object itself. In other words, the state of friction close to 0 will persist. However, there is an upper limit. This upper limit is mainly related to the friction of the object itself and the surface area of the object."

"Surface area?"

"For example, if the overall friction of an object can be changed by 1 square meter, then after it exceeds 1 square meter, the previous friction will disappear. If the friction of the object itself is relatively large, it may be less than 1 square meter."

"Speaking of which, it's somewhat similar to Zhang Qian's ability."

Zhang Muyan paused, obviously not knowing which Zhang Qian was, but he still said, "Some abilities related to contact area probably have this kind of limitation."

"This will have wider application value. I had considered making a land-based tool before, but due to friction issues, I ultimately ruled it out."

"Take your time, it will all be there in the future. Your abilities are highly compatible, and you are very suitable for developing technology."

The two ended the topic.

……

Due to Xu Qi's unexpected incident, Weiguang had to re-plan his next plan.

Everyone held a meeting to discuss the matter as usual.

However, the conference room has recently undergone some new renovations.

With the ability to make coke, they finally made charcoal pencils and set up a marble sketchboard in the conference room to facilitate discussions.

However, it is not easy to make a charcoal pencil that can be used after being reduced in size.

When the coke is too fine, it is difficult to write on hard objects, so the so-called charcoal pencil can only be made into a ball shape, and the volume must be sufficient.

This required the sketch board to be large enough, so in the end the entire wall was covered with marble slabs.

There was also a sticker on the other wall, but it was not used for sketching, but for drawing a map, which was naturally made by Lu Yuning.

This map shows the area of the park they have explored so far.

The locations of several organizations are also engraved.

Finally, there is a circle-like sign in the lower right corner. This is where Zhang Muyan and the others were teleported from before. Judging from the location, they have to pass the Fuxing base and continue forward for a distance.

The discussion went smoothly, mainly because Xu Qi was anxious, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't even find the door to Xinghuo. Visually speaking, the grassy area was about the size of a city before. Furthermore, two months had passed since the apocalypse, and the weeds had grown so dense that even a chipmunk would have difficulty navigating. Furthermore, without Xu Qi, directing it to perform such a complex task was a hassle, so this task was somewhat challenging.

Although everyone was worried about Xu Qi, they could only move forward step by step.

So the first step is to use the Spark Outpost as the starting point to look for traces of growth of alien trees, but this activity must be carried out at night.

This was also their first nighttime operation, so the danger level was naturally very high. What was even more troublesome was that lighting was a big problem.

So before that, we need to make a moving light source.

In addition, considering the temperature at night, cold-proof clothing must be taken out first. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if people catch a cold before finding the base. In other words, the bird's nest must be explored.

Other matters could only be carried out after these things happened, including the advancement of technology, steam engines, hot air engines, and the handling of the small motor that was shipped back.

However, the idea of generating electricity may be left to the people in Lingang to try, mainly to see if it can be installed on the water wheel. Of course, the speed of the water wheel is not enough to generate enough electricity, so some gears need to be made to increase the maximum speed through the gear ratio.

Lu Yuning did bring back quite a few gears, and they could handle them themselves. Lu Yuning's only request was that they should not get the motor into the water, otherwise it would be very troublesome. The rest was left to them to do as they pleased.

What can be done at the moment has been decided for the time being, but before these itineraries, there is one thing that has the highest priority.

Try supernatural powers.

And Zou Yunxin is naturally the protagonist of this incident.

“Let’s start with copper.”

Lu Yuning handed a piece of processed copper wire to Zou Yunxin who was eager to try.

Everyone immediately hid far away.

For copper, the first energy that comes to mind is definitely electrical energy.

So everyone is still relatively cautious, after all, no one wants to be electrocuted.

Of course, this is also everyone's expectation. If they can really generate electricity, they can even save a lot of development steps, and the key technology in the future should be batteries.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Zou Yunxin reached out and took the copper wire handed to him by Lu Yuning.

Then his supernatural power was activated, but he quickly shook his head.

"No reaction," Zou Yunxin confirmed.

Lu Yuning sighed. He had indeed thought too much. However, he couldn't be too greedy. His current ability was already strong enough.

"Maybe it hasn't been unlocked yet," Zhang Xinyue said.

Everyone nodded. This situation was possible. After all, Zou Yunxin actually had two abilities now.

This shows that his own ability has undergone a qualitative change. The reason why Tong did not react may be that he has not yet unlocked the corresponding grabbing and exchanging ability.

But the experiment must continue.

There are 6 types of metal materials collected from vending machines, including copper.

Copper, tin, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and a small amount of silver.

Tin and silver are basically taken from circuit boards, and the quantity is relatively small.

Zou Yunxin tried them one by one.
