Chapter 517 Qu Shilin's Research Results

"I'm at home, what have you figured out?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

"That's great, don't leave, wait for me! You'll know in a minute!"

Qu Shilin's tone was very excited, which made Wang Tao even more curious.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Wang Tao didn't have to wait long. Qu Shilin came just after he finished breakfast.

But Qu Shilin didn't come by car, but in power armor.

"Huh? Is it power armor?"

This power armor is different from what Wang Tao has seen before. Although the previous power armor looks full of security, it is a bit bulky and stiff. This power armor looks lighter and more flexible.

Ka——

The power armor opened, and Qu Shilin walked out. She stretched out her arms and trotted over to give Wang Tao a big hug.

Xiaohuo jumped from Qu Shilin to Wang Tao, and Wang Tao touched its little head.

Xiaobing heard the noise and ran out of the house. After seeing Xiaohuo, the two little minks immediately ran to play excitedly.

Wang Tao and Qu Shilin ignored the two little guys, they looked at each other. Wang Tao felt that Qu Shilin seemed to be thinner, but in good spirits. Qu Shilin felt that Wang Tao seemed to be stronger again.

Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with a little pride and said:

"Wang Tao, what do you think of this power armor I made!"

Wang Tao looked at the power armor carefully. If it was just the growth of various data, Qu Shilin would definitely not be so proud. It should be a qualitative change.

"It looks much more beautiful than other power armors, but I can't tell what the specific situation is."

Wang Tao said truthfully.

"Then you will know if you go in and try it. I guarantee you will be surprised!"

Qu Shilin was obviously very confident in his research results.

"Okay, I'll try it."

This power armor is an engineering prototype, and there is no such strict one-person-one-machine system. After Wang Tao entered, the space inside the power armor began to adjust according to his body shape, and then wrapped him up and closed with a click.

Wang Tao's eyes went dark at first, then slowly brightened, and the surrounding environment came into view.

"Huh?"

Wang Tao exclaimed.

In the past, after entering the power armor, the field of vision inside was composed of two parts. One part was the window reserved by the power armor itself, which was the eye of the power armor.

But the field of vision of the power armor itself is limited, which is incomparable to the human eye. So another part is needed to make up for it, that is, the display.

It can be simply understood that the display is the rearview mirror of the car. Through the window and the display screen, you can observe the surrounding environment. But after all, it is not a human eye, and there are still limitations.

And now, when Wang Tao entered this power armor, he found that there were no windows, displays or anything like that. Instead, he could see the surrounding environment directly, just like a human eye! If there were no various data prompts in front of him, he would not feel the existence of the power armor!

To be precise, this viewing angle is larger than that of the human eye, because when he thought of the field of vision behind him, the picture behind him appeared in front of him!

"Interesting..."

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows. This is not just a problem of the picture, but what Wang Tao thinks in his mind, the power armor can take corresponding actions!

This is much stronger than the original power armor!

The original power armor needs you to operate it yourself. For example, if you want to see the situation behind you, you need to click the "rear view" button inside, and then the screen will show the picture behind you... This is like driving a car. No matter how advanced your skills are, even if you have reached the state of unity between man and car, driving is still driving after all. The car is just an external object, and there is still a big difference compared to the human body.

But now... Wang Tao just thought about it in his mind, and he can actually see the picture behind him?

This technology is amazing. It feels like it is almost the same as biological weapons. Those biological weapons such as iron beetles and silver beetles are controlled in this way.

"Your power armor has something! Whether it is vision or control..."

Wang Tao said.

"Haha, not bad! Then try to control it again. There is an instruction manual inside."

Qu Shilin's voice came in clearly from outside.

Wang Tao silently read the instruction manual in his heart, and then an electronic instruction manual appeared on his screen. The instruction manual has many pages, but there are key points.

After Wang Tao looked at the key points, his eyes widened immediately.

"Ah? Can I use superpowers?"

He was sure he had read it right. The manual of this power armor said that as long as the crystal core with superpowers is placed in the power chamber, the power armor can use the corresponding superpowers!

This is a bit similar to Wang Tao embedding crystal cores in equipment. After the crystal cores are embedded in the equipment, the superpowers in the crystal cores can be used.

Of course, this function of power armor is limited, just like equipment embedding. Only one crystal core can be used at a time, and not all crystal cores can be used.

Qu Shilin tested some crystal cores and wrote down the ones that can be used in the manual, and the ones that cannot be used are also explained separately. As for those that have not been tested, it is said that they should be used with caution and it is best not to use them. The manual will be updated all the time.

At present, this power armor has a charge crystal core in it, so Wang Tao went to the open space to try it out.

Swoosh--

After starting the charge, the power armor instantly rushed more than 30 meters. Wang Tao did not feel any discomfort.

"Powerful!"

Wang Tao exclaimed.

Compared with the previous power armor, this power armor that can use superpowers is completely different from the previous one!

In particular, Wang Tao tested the flexibility of the power armor again. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is as flexible as an arm, but it is definitely much better than the original power armor!

After excluding various weapon factors, only talking about the power armor itself, the combat effectiveness of this power armor is at least five times higher than before! If the power armor is equipped with more crystal cores with superpowers, the combat effectiveness will be even higher.

"You are so amazing! You can make such a strong power armor!"

After Wang Tao came out of the power armor, he praised Qu Shilin generously.

"Haha, amazing!"

After a little pride, Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao again and said seriously.

"But this is all thanks to you. If you hadn't awakened my 'spiritual insight', I wouldn't have been able to research this power armor. Moreover, the control method of this power armor was learned from biological weapons, and the use of superpowers was learned from some equipment you gave me before. As for the materials of this power armor, some of them were refined from the ore you provided in the cracks... So, if it weren't for your help and sponsorship, there would be no power armor!"

"You make me embarrassed... Let's put it this way, this is the result of our joint efforts!"

Wang Tao smiled.

"Yes!"

Qu Shilin was obviously very satisfied with this statement, and then she explained the combat effectiveness of this power armor.

"The combat effectiveness of the previous power armor was almost equivalent to that of a third-level superpower user. Now this power armor feels like it should be equivalent to a fourth-level superpower user. Of course, I mean superpower users, not awakened ones... After further improvements, it can theoretically reach the combat effectiveness of fifth-level or even sixth-level superpower users!"

"It's already very good!"

Wang Tao encouraged.

Most of the survivors are ordinary people. If they can obtain the combat power of a fifth-level or even sixth-level superpower through power armor, it is already very strong.

"Can this kind of power armor be mass-produced?"

"Of course! What we lack is not technology but materials. Some key parts in the power armor require special materials. In the past, this material was relatively scarce, so it affected the production of power armor. But now, the ores in the cracks can be refined into a new material, which is better than that special material! So next, our base can mass-produce power armor!"

"Hiss! That's really good!"

If the army goes out in the future, it will be exciting to think about it. What kind of zombies, night demon nests, etc., are directly pushed flat!

Of course, even if the materials are not lacking, the production capacity cannot be raised instantly. It has to be done slowly. It is impossible to equip all soldiers with power armor in a short time. But from what Qu Shilin said, it is estimated that it should not be a big problem to specially get a few power armor teams or even power armor corps.

This is a great improvement for the entire Changhe base. Qu Shilin's retreat this time is obviously worthwhile.

However, Qu Shilin was still a little dissatisfied.

"Actually, I studied a lot of things during this retreat, but I only gained something in the field of power armor... Although there were also great breakthroughs in other things, they were still stuck in the end. Although my "spiritual insight" awakening is very suitable for research, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice..."

Seeing Qu Shilin's somewhat lost look, Wang Tao immediately patted her shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, take your time. We are not in a particularly urgent situation at the moment, so don't have any psychological pressure... Besides, don't you still have me here! If you need my help, just tell me, I will find a way to solve it for you..."

Hearing Wang Tao's words, Qu Shilin was very moved.

"Thank you! Don't worry, I won't get stuck in a dead end. My current research on power armor has come to an end, and the rest will be handed over to them. My main research now is on potions... To be precise, there are currently two kinds of potions. One is a potion that can completely remove the zombie virus, and the other is a potion that can improve strength..."

"..."

Hearing Qu Shilin's next research direction, Wang Tao didn't know what to say for a while.

This direction is good, but it feels difficult to gain anything!

Wang Tao no longer has hope of removing the zombie virus. Compared to being able to research a way to remove the zombie virus, he thinks it is more reliable to improve his own strength. As for potions that improve strength, let alone, he rarely gets such things when hunting zombies. Qu Shilin still wants to research similar potions? It feels as impossible as removing the zombie virus...

Qu Shilin's mental power is very strong now, and Wang Tao didn't deliberately hide her expression, so she found out at the first time, so she rolled her eyes at Wang Tao.

They have a good relationship, especially after Qu Shilin awakened last time, they unexpectedly had a deep spiritual communication, and their relationship became closer, just like a couple. So Qu Shilin would not be angry, but she was still a little competitive.

"You think I can't do it? You underestimate me! In fact, I have made a great breakthrough in the research of these two medicines!"

Qu Shilin rolled her eyes at Wang Tao.

"Oh? So how far have you studied it?"

Wang Tao was a little curious.

"Let's talk about the antidote for the zombie virus first. Didn't you give me a copy of the research data of the Progenitor virus before? That thing is really useful to me, especially after I awakened my spiritual insight. Through these data, I deduced and researched many new things! Although I still haven't been able to develop a real antidote, I have found the direction of future research! If I continue to research in this direction, there is a high probability that I can really develop an antidote!"

"Oh my god, is this true?"

Looking at Qu Shilin with a serious face, although Wang Tao didn't want to doubt her, the news was really shocking. She actually had the opportunity to research the antidote for the zombie virus?

"Of course it's true!"

Qu Shilin was obviously very satisfied with Wang Tao's shock. But she quickly shook her head again.

"But there is a big problem at present. I said that if I continue to research in this direction, I will definitely gain something. But I no longer have the ability to research in this direction..."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Tao asked.

Qu Shilin sighed and said:

"Because this direction is the 'Progenitor virus'! The Progenitor virus data you gave me before is very important, but the data is too little. If there are enough Progenitor viruses for me to study, there will definitely be gains. But now, these viruses have mutated countless times, and there are no Progenitor viruses in the world, and I can't study them, so... this is a theoretical possibility after all."

"Theoretical possibility..."

Wang Tao shook his head subconsciously, then this is impossible, it has been so long since the end of the world, where can there be the Progenitor virus when the virus broke out! Even the data he got last time was left by that doctor-wait!

Wang Tao's eyes suddenly condensed.

"You mean, if you have enough Progenitor virus data, you have a chance to research the antidote for the zombie virus?"

"Theoretically, but-"

Qu Shilin was interrupted by Wang Tao before he finished speaking.

"Do you remember where I got this data about the ancestral virus?"

"You said that this is the data about the ancestral virus left by a medical expert who studied the zombie virus to save his infected daughter..."

Qu Shilin was still quite impressed by the story Wang Tao told before.

"Then the question is, since there is such an example, is it possible that there is a second, third, or Nth example - someone else is studying the ancestral virus and leaving relevant data! Our world is so big, even if it is a low-probability event, when it is magnified to the whole world, there is a certain number!"

Hearing Wang Tao's words, Qu Shilin's eyes widened.

"So what you mean is that there may be other ancestral virus data in the world. As long as we can find it, we may really be able to research an antidote... It seems to be the truth!"

But Qu Shilin quickly shook his head again.

"But the world is so big. Even if there is data on the original virus, how can we know where it is and how can we get it?"

Boom, boom--

Suddenly, Qu Shilin felt the ground tremble. She turned her head in confusion and saw an eagle that occupied her entire field of vision striding towards her.
