Chapter 1472 Profit Point

For Wu Zhen, the primary concern in recent years is to guard against alien races, and all human and financial resources have been used in this aspect.

It's just that he is well-informed and knows these things.

However, Qu Jianlei was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that the crazy price increase of the imperial magic weapon would really affect Liang Meng.

It's not a national market, nor does it exist in the international market. What's the point of hyping this?

He said calmly, "If there is no magic weapon, then the news of the magic weapon will be fine. You don't even have this, right?"

"This..." Wu Zhen raised his hand and pinched his brows, and answered distressedly, "I only heard about the whereabouts of two magic weapons."

"To be honest, I really don't want to do this. Can you use the magic weapon if you get it?"

He felt that the other party was a little crazy. In the face of alien races, it is the right thing to work together to face the outside world. Why bother to be ambitious?

"It's not your turn to teach us a lesson yet," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said lightly, "It seems that this deal can't be done."

"We don't want the money either... Stay one more day, and after observing the results of consumption, we will leave."

After that, he walked to a chair on the side and sat down, observing his nose, mouth and heart, and actually began to regulate his breathing.

Wu Zhen was stunned there, and just as he was about to speak, the alarm sounded, and then the intercom also sounded.

He didn't bother to think so much, and immediately connected the conversation. Someone hurriedly reported, "Boss, the aliens have launched an attack."

Wu Zhen frowned and spoke calmly.

"Fight back moderately, pay attention to controlling the amount of ammunition used... By the way, cut the screen to my reception room."

The screen quickly cut in, and in the weak light, you can see dense locusts launching an attack.

The overwhelming posture gives people an extremely shocking feeling, which can really scare people with intensive phobia to death.

Various weapons or ballistics emit different lights, reflecting the hideous appearance of locusts at close range, comparable to horror movies.

But Wu Zhen's attitude was very calm. He said lightly, "At night, they will not launch a large-scale attack."

There was no expression on everyone's face, but it might not be the case in their hearts.

Everyone has fought with locusts more than once or twice, but most of them were long-distance space battles. The only exception was the forced attack just now.

When the forceful attack was launched, everyone had no thoughts at all, and the feelings were not very deep.

Now seeing the alien race's attack method with their own eyes, everyone felt a little strange: Is this not a large-scale attack?

However, Wu Zhen's face was indeed very calm, "It should be that your behavior of rushing in just now stimulated them."

"But it doesn't matter. If you hold on for a while, they will naturally retreat."

After a moment of silence, Tianyin suddenly said, "Those trees... don't participate in the battle?"

Wu Zhen answered casually, "Trees lying flat are breeding new tree species, and can be considered to be on the verge of death."

"There are not many trees standing upright, and they dare not... No, they don't want to get close to the shelter, or they will be destroyed!"

Obviously, this planet has been taken down, and the rest is to gradually nibble away and slowly remove the nails. There is no need to die in vain.

Tianyin thought for a while and asked again, "Why don't the trees in space launch black line attacks on you?"

The distance of the black line attack is limited, but it can be maintained for 300,000 or 400,000 kilometers, which is enough to launch an attack from space.

Wu Zhen replied, "According to our analysis, the black line attack launched by the trees is also very consuming."

This point was not observed by Qu Jianlei and others, because they have been playing the kite-flying tactic.

When attacking aliens from a distance, it is not easy to observe the interval between many black line attacks.

However, if you think about it from another perspective, Wu Zhen can say so confidently, it must have been exchanged for countless lives.

The cruelty of the previous battle can be imagined.

Qu Jianlei didn't want to feel sad for the alliance members. He quietly asked Xiaohu, "Is the interval between the black line attacks long?"

"Not long," the big-headed butterfly turned half a circle and answered confidently.

It will not make mistakes in this aspect. If it really finds something, it will definitely remind the boss in time.

But it doesn't think that what Wu Zhen said is wrong, and found other reasons.

"Boss, high consumption does not mean that the interval is long, just like the awakened person can quickly overdraw when performing magic."

Qu Jianlei answered silently, "That's right, I am a little wishful thinking."

This battle was fought directly from night to dawn. After dawn, there were more besieging locusts.

Qu Jianlei and his team also found a new observation point, which was a battle situation observation room with a more comprehensive observation angle.

Through observation, they found that the shuttle-shaped locusts were really hard to fight, and the damage caused by various artillery was limited.

However, the shelter also found out the rules. Just like Qu Jianlei and his team, they mainly used laser weapons to deal with the shuttles.

Fighting will accelerate people's growth. Facing strange alien races, they will naturally have a method after fighting for a long time.

Unfortunately, the energy consumption of laser weapons is not small.

However, the locusts' attacks are also quite methodical. At night, when visibility is not high, they rarely use the shuttle form.

The shuttle is not only hard, but also mainly pursues fast speed. Once the speed is slow, it is easy to be concentrated, and ordinary weapons can also cause damage.

When it gets light, there are more shuttle forms, because they don't have to worry about hitting the muzzle.

Countless shuttles even passed through the firepower network and came to the sky above the shelter, launching attacks from a high position.

There is a solid dome above the shelter, which is said to be open and close, and there are also some anti-aircraft weapons.

But even so, the defense is still quite passive. The locusts can fly very high, and even open their wings calmly to perform magic.

Qu Jianlei remembered that on Blue Star, individual weapons against small drones at high altitudes... It feels a bit similar and difficult to fight.

A large number of locusts gathered above the shelter, mainly because the surrounding electromagnetic belts were not activated and the blocking ability was poor.

But there is no way, the electromagnetic belts are too energy-consuming, and no matter how much reserves the shelter has, it is reluctant to use them casually.

Moreover, the related equipment of the electromagnetic belts also has wear and tear problems. This kind of killer weapon should be reserved for the most critical moment.

It can be seen that the shelter did its best to meet them last night.

In this battle situation, in addition to the defense of combat personnel, damage control personnel also frequently went out to repair the damage.

Qu Jianlei and his group could hear the conversation of the alliance members. Even at this point, they still didn't think the situation was that critical.

Everyone really couldn't imagine how critical a real crisis would be.

Anyway, Wu Zhen would come to the war room from time to time, but he never asked for help.

He brought new news: sixty people had already taken locust meat.

The sixty people were divided into three control groups, including men, women, old and young, with the only difference being the dosage.

The current observation results show that there is no toxic reaction, and it can indeed absorb energy to a certain extent.

The most obvious reaction is that those who eat have different degrees of fullness.

A considerable number of elderly people and children have nosebleeds and other phenomena because the food is too high in calories.

The more the control group eats, the more obvious the reaction.

As for when to eat the second meal, the shelter plans to arrange it at the time of the main meal.

One of the control groups will take a meal before continuing to eat.

In short, there are those detailed test methods, which don't need to be elaborated.

But Qu Jianlei was not concerned about this, but... "Is locust meat bad?"

Wu Zhen misjudged his words, "This is all voluntary, and you have to queue up. The taste... is really not very good."

"How bad is it?"

"It's old and woody, sour and fishy. I have tried many cooking methods and am still testing it, but the results are not optimistic."

After answering, Wu Zhen blinked and reacted, "Do you want to promote it on a large scale?"

"Of course," Qu Jianlei answered casually. He didn't think his opinion was rare. Anyone with a little knowledge should understand.

"The alien race is so difficult to fight, mainly because it is pure expenditure without profit. It would be easy if there is profit."

In fact, Wu Zhen is not surprised by this view. He nodded, "It is indeed true."

"Although these meats are unpalatable, they can be used as nutrients, which can also be regarded as income. The key is how high the cost of detoxification is."

Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard this, "How much can nutrients make? If it is delicious... Alas, it is a pity that it is not."

Wu Zhen blinked his eyes, "Selling at a high price... like hunting?"

"Like hunting," Qu Jianlei nodded expressionlessly, "Without sufficient profit, it cannot support large-scale war."

"Just like trees are not attacking you now, high-energy attacks are too wasteful!"

"Tsk," Wu Zhen smacked his lips, sighed again, and expressed regret.

"The shelter has also tried to use ancient thermal power generation equipment to obtain energy by burning alien corpses."

"But there are too many difficulties and it is basically not feasible."

There is really no shortage of wise people in this world. Qu Jianlei tried to find profit points from the war, and others would think so too.

The battle continued until noon, and the intensity did not decrease.

Qu Jianlei walked back to the reception room and detoxified a batch of locust meat again.

He actually had no intention of transforming it, but Wu Zhen thought that since he had to do the experiment, he might as well finish it.

"Perhaps, this is the last contribution we can make to mankind."

The words were a bit sensational, and Qu Jianlei was unmoved, but he still agreed to deal with ten more locust corpses.

When it was getting dark, the attack strength of the locusts gradually weakened.

It seemed that just as Wu Zhen analyzed, this attack that lasted for nearly a day and a night was purely the revenge of the locusts.

Qu Jianlei and others packed up and planned to break out until late at night.

In theory, they could be teleported directly from the shelter.

But they had already rejected the other party's request for help, and there was no need to provoke these poor people anymore.

When people who knew they were leaving looked at them, their eyes were full of despair.
