Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 66 Energy Industrial Equipment
The rescue operation was quickly launched in a tense but orderly manner.

Soldiers vigilantly guarded the surroundings, while medical staff and volunteers quickly moved between buildings, calling out, searching, and carrying the wounded.

The cries of survivors, the joyful shouts of finding loved ones, and the calm instructions of medical staff mingled together, creating a noisy yet hopeful atmosphere.

Lin Yi did not participate in the specific rescue work; instead, he turned his attention to the spot where the three abyssal pythons had been killed.

At this moment, the enormous body had long since turned to ashes and vanished, leaving only three shimmering gray spirit crystals and his Rift Spear, which was stuck diagonally into the ground.

Lin Yi's mind stirred slightly.

An invisible yet precise force instantly acted upon it.

The Rift Spear emitted a soft hum, and like a bird returning to its nest, it flew through the air towards Lin Yi. During its flight, it rapidly shrank, eventually becoming a miniature model, and precisely inserted itself back into the weapon slot of his waist armor.

The three Radiant Crystals, as if held up by an invisible hand, flew steadily to his front and hovered quietly.

These three crystals still have a gray base, but unlike the slightly cloudy halo of ordinary gray crystals, their color is much deeper.

More importantly, within that deep gray, there were fine yet clear golden threads that flowed slowly as if they were alive.

"Golden-patterned crystal unique to leader-level beings."

A knowing glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

This type of crystal only drops when you kill a boss-level abyssal beast whose strength far exceeds that of its rank.

Although they are still classified as gray, the items they contain are often far more valuable than ordinary white crystals, and occasionally they can even contain rare items comparable in value to green crystals.

After all, the probability of getting a common "Source Energy Crystal" from a regular white crystal is not low, while this golden-patterned crystal almost always yields rare blueprints or special equipment.

He stretched out his fingers and gently touched the three floating crystals one by one.

The moment the fingertips touch, information floods into the mind.

The first one is the "Eagle Eye" fixed energy source detector.

This is a large, fixed detection device with power, detection range, information detail, and energy sensing threshold far exceeding the portable version, making it suitable for base defense and large-area monitoring.

The second one is the "Vigilant Type II" mechanical guardian.

This can be considered a humanoid enhanced version of a small mechanical dog, with combat power roughly equivalent to an Abyss Beast with 1000 source energy, possessing a more powerful combat module and a more complex command system.

"Not bad," Lin Yi thought to himself.

Both of these items are defensive and auxiliary equipment that are in great need of settlements at this stage, and they are much more practical than ordinary white crystals.

When his fingertips touched the third crystal, the surge of information made his heart beat slightly faster for a moment.

【"Photocopying" Miniature Multifunctional Energy Source Printing Machine】

"It's actually this thing!"

Lin Yi was genuinely surprised this time.

In his view, the value of this "photocopying" printing machine was even comparable to some green or even blue quality crystals!

Its functions are very simple, yet incredibly powerful.

Provided with complete manufacturing blueprints for a particular energy source device and sufficient energy crystals as raw materials and energy, it can perfectly manufacture that device, much like a 3D printer. For example, if it received manufacturing blueprints instead of a finished portable detector, it can input the blueprints into this "copying" machine, then input energy crystals to directly "print" a new portable detector.

This means that once you obtain the blueprints for a rare energy source, you will have the ability to "mass produce" it on a limited scale!

This will greatly alleviate the shortage of high-end energy equipment.

Although its limitations are also obvious, firstly, you must have the blueprint, and the blueprint itself is a rare drop.

Secondly, it consumes a lot of resources. The more powerful and complex the equipment, the longer it takes, the more source energy crystals are required, and the higher the quality requirements.

Ultimately, this was just a “miniature” printing machine, with very limited output and the size of the equipment it could manufacture.

Even so, its strategic significance is immense; it is practically the prototype of a source energy equipment production line.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any blueprints on hand right now."

Lin Yi shook his head slightly.

He only provided finished products and did not provide any blueprints for energy source equipment.

However, just because he didn't have it doesn't mean the authorities didn't.

The Supreme Command has a considerable amount of Spirit Crystals in its inventory, which must contain various blueprints.

Although a lot of basic theoretical knowledge of energy technology can be extracted from the gray and white crystals, it is too profound and cannot be fully understood in a short period of time.

Moreover, even if you understand the basics and comprehend the blueprints, you lack the corresponding industrial foundation to produce them.

This "photocopying" machine bypasses the most basic energy principles and industrial system requirements; as long as you have blueprints and energy, you can directly produce finished products.

With this in mind, Lin Yi had already made up his mind about how to deal with the machine.

This thing can only be given to the highest command center to realize its greatest value. Only under the overall coordination of the headquarters can the blueprints be collected efficiently and resources be concentrated for production, so as to arm an elite force with source energy combat capabilities as quickly as possible.

This is far more useful than leaving it in his personal hands.

He carefully put away the three precious crystals, especially the one containing the "photocopy," which he placed separately.

Just then, Li Gang happened to be directing his team to carry several barely alive survivors past. Seeing Lin Yi, he immediately ran over excitedly, "Major Lin! There are more survivors in these neighborhoods than we expected. If it weren't for you, they probably..."

Lin Yi waved his hand, interrupting him, "It's my duty. Captain Li, the cleanup here is complete. The follow-up search and rescue will be handled by you. I won't be returning with the convoy."

Captain Wang was taken aback: "You're not going back? Then you..."

"I'll go and clear out any other elite-level abyssal beasts in the surrounding area to prevent them from interfering with the rescue route or threatening the perimeter of the settlement," Lin Yi said calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "I'll go back on my own."

Li Gang opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just nodded emphatically: "Yes! Please be very careful."

He knew all too well that for this powerful figure who could single-handedly slay three terrifying leader-level abyssal beasts, the so-called "elite level" was probably nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs. His battlefield was no longer on the same level as theirs.

Lin Yi nodded, said no more, and turned to walk towards the direction where elite abyssal beasts might exist deeper in Nest No. 4.

Li Gang kept his eyes fixed on Lin Yi's back until he disappeared around the corner. Only then did he take a deep breath, turn around, and shout, "Hurry up, everyone! Save the person as quickly as possible!"
