Chapter 523 Base Security Improvement
"This barrier is a bit strong!"
Looking at the almost invisible barrier above his head, Wang Tao reached out and touched it, and a pale golden ripple flashed across it.
"Chirp~"
The golden eagle is also very curious. Just now, it clearly felt that this transparent barrier would block it. If it wanted to force its way in, it would most likely hit it head-on. But after Wang Tao let it fly directly in, it felt as if the barrier had opened a hole for it, allowing it to fly in without any resistance. This is the first time it has seen such a strange thing.
"This barrier cannot stop me, the user, and I can enter and exit freely. For other people, I can authorize it, and those authorized by me can also enter and exit freely."
Wang Tao explained to the golden eagle with a smile.
He was thinking before, if the barrier is opened, how can others come in and out freely? There must be no problem for him as a user, but he can't always let him release people manually, right? Then how can he be so busy? Now it seems that this sixth-level biological weapon has its own solution——
[Barrier: A defensive barrier is generated within the range. The current maximum generation range: 10 kilometers (can be accessed with authorization)]
This authorization prompt only appears after activating the barrier.
Just looking at the literal meaning, Wang Tao can understand it, but he may not know how to do it. But when this prompt appeared, detailed operation methods also appeared in Wang Tao's mind.
And this method is actually very simple, that is, he just tells the crystal energy poison tree who can come in - yes, this crystal energy poison tree is conscious after it is officially activated!
To be precise, these biological weapons are all conscious. Otherwise, why are they called biological weapons? The word "biological" comes first, indicating that they are not dead.
However, being conscious is conscious, and it has nothing to do with whether you are smart or not.
Generally speaking, the consciousness of biological weapons is very simple. They can understand the commands given by the user and take corresponding actions. The simpler the command, the better. If the command is complex, it may not understand it.
For example, if Wang Tao gives an "attack" command to [Night Devil Type III], [Night Devil Type III] will naturally do it immediately, and as long as Wang Tao doesn't shout to stop, it will keep attacking, and either the opponent will die or it will die.
But if the [Night Demon Type III] is given an instruction such as "feint attack, move the tiger away from the mountain, and attack from the east to the west", then the [Night Demon Type III] will be confused and does not know how to execute it.
In this case, Wang Tao has to personally control [Night Demon Type III], and by controlling it himself, he can bring out the maximum potential of [Night Demon Type III], but at the cost of consuming his own mental power. Therefore, if he brings out too many night demons, he may not be able to control them, which will actually affect his combat effectiveness.
As for communicating with this [Night Demon III], you can't get any feedback and can only issue orders. They seem to be ruthless mission machines.
But this crystal energy poison tree was different. After it was officially activated, Wang Tao could clearly feel that its consciousness was much greater than that of other biological weapons, and it was very smart and could communicate!
Of course, this "very smart" is compared to other biological weapons. The IQ is naturally incomparable to humans, but it can already communicate simply.
Wang Tao's so-called authorization means that he tells the Crystal Energy Poison Tree that whoever he allows to pass through will be allowed by the Crystal Energy Poison Tree.
Although it sounds like it is more troublesome whether Wang Tao controls it himself or Wang Tao tells Jing Neng to poison the tree. Because this must go through Wang Tao. If Wang Tao is not at the base, wouldn't it be greatly restricted?
But this is not the case. Since this crystal energy poison tree has certain intelligence and can communicate, this authorization is not so rigid.
Wang Tao can tell it who can pass and who cannot. But Wang Tao can also tell it, under what circumstances people are allowed to pass, and under what circumstances people are not allowed to pass, it can understand it itself!
As long as Wang Tao makes the regulations in advance and tells the Jingneng Poison Tree about this regulation, then it can release the tree according to this regulation. That would be much more convenient, as Wang Tao does not need to authorize it personally.
As for the defensive ability of this barrier, Wang Tao also vaguely realized that it can not only block all kinds of bad weather, but also block most attacks of level six and below!
Including Wang Tao himself and Xiao Jin, they are unable to break this barrier!
I have to say, this defense is really terrifying. With this level of defense, the security of Changhe Base has been improved by more than a hundred times!
But such a strong defense naturally cannot come without any price, and this price is the crystal core!
If you want to maintain this barrier, you need to continue to consume its blood. If you want to block various attacks, you also need to consume its blood. The stronger the attack, the more health it consumes. After its health reaches a certain level, it will automatically shut down all functions and fall into a state of suspended animation, requiring reactivation before it can be used again.
How to replenish the blood volume of biological weapons? Of course, it can only be replenished with crystal nuclei!
Therefore, in theory, as long as enough crystal cores are consumed, not to mention sixth-level attacks, it is estimated that seventh-level attacks can also be blocked! I just don’t know how many crystal nuclei will be consumed.
Wang Tao tried it, and it made the Crystal Energy Poison Tree block him with a barrier. Then he took out his big knife and slashed hard at the barrier. Then he saw that the Crystal Energy Poison Tree's HP of one million was reduced by one thousand. about. This defensive power is still very high. It is the creature with the highest defensive power that Wang Tao has ever seen. It cannot even compare with the fifth-level giant zombie.
But the Crystal Energy Poison Tree has no way to recover the 1,000 HP it lost, and can only use crystal cores to replenish it.
Moreover, when the Crystal Energy Poison Tree blocks this bad weather, it is also constantly consuming HP, and it must use crystal cores to replenish it in time.
Originally, to maintain the existence of the barrier, it must slowly consume HP. To block the bad weather, it must continue to consume HP. If there is an enemy attack, it will consume HP again... This consumption may not seem too much, but you must know that this barrier will basically not be closed once it is opened. As time accumulates, this consumption is very amazing!
Wang Tao felt that it was a wise decision for him to put the Crystal Energy Poison Tree in the base. For an individual, this consumption is too great, even for him, it is estimated that he can't bear it for long. But there are still many crystal cores in the Changhe base, as long as there are no large numbers of high-level monsters and zombies attacking the city, it will not be a problem.
"Let's go and see the body of this Crystal Energy Poison Tree."
After studying the barrier, Wang Tao waved his hand, and the golden eagle flew towards the Crystal Energy Poison Tree.
Wang Tao estimated that the height of the crystal energy poison tree was at least 800 meters, even if it was not one thousand meters. Its size was very exaggerated.
Fortunately, the place where the crystal energy poison tree was planted was an open space. At that time, it was thought that toxic wastewater could be discharged. Now, the whole place is almost occupied by the crystal energy poison tree. Wastewater may need to be stored in another place, but it is not a big problem. There are still many open spaces in the Changhe base.
After the golden eagle flew over, it suddenly circled around the crystal energy poison tree.
"Chi~"
"Hmm? You said you want to build a nest here? No problem!"
The golden eagle told Wang Tao that it used to like to build its nest in a relatively high place. This place is very suitable and can overlook a long distance. However, it is not limited to this nest. It prefers to stay with Wang Tao. It doesn't matter if there are more nests. Anyway, the base will definitely not mind.
Wang Tao communicated with the crystal energy poison tree. It does have a certain intelligence, but it is very limited. It can understand some of Wang Tao's commands and execute them, but it is obviously impossible to let it communicate with Wang Tao fluently like the golden eagle.
Wang Tao felt that it was indeed a biological weapon. Even with a certain level of intelligence, it still looked like a weapon.
After visiting the Crystal Energy Poison Tree, Wang Tao let the golden eagle land.
At this time, the Crystal Energy Poison Tree was under martial law, and many people were surrounded.
Gu Yun and the people from the City Hall, various committee members, the legion, and the people from various forces gathered next to this huge Crystal Energy Poison Tree, discussing something fiercely.
The Crystal Energy Poison Tree was so noisy just now that it blocked part of the view in the sky, causing them not to notice that the golden eagle had returned. It was only when a gust of wind blew that they realized that Wang Tao was back.
"Wang Tao, you're back! What do you think of this Crystal Energy Poison Tree?"
Gu Yun asked nervously.
Although it seems that all the changes that have just happened to the Crystal Energy Poison Tree seem to be good things, no one dares to guarantee it 100%. So they are now both excited and nervous.
"Don't worry, I opened this barrier. When I came back just now, I saw that the Crystal Energy Poison Tree was activated..."
Wang Tao immediately gave everyone a general explanation.
After hearing that it was not an accident and that the transparent barrier in the sky was indeed protecting them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Then Wang Tao had a private chat with Gu Yun and other committee members.
"This barrier is specifically like this..."
There were many people just now, so Wang Tao did not explain in detail. Now that these people are the core layer of the base, he must explain it clearly.
"In other words, this barrier will consume the vitality of the crystal energy poison tree, and we need to use crystal cores to replenish it all the time..."
After listening to Wang Tao's explanation, Gu Yun immediately said.
"Yes, that's it. I have authorized you, and you can enter and exit freely. In addition, you can make a rule, such as a password, a token, etc., so that the crystal energy poison tree can recognize it, and you can enter and exit..."
Wang Tao discussed with everyone and finally decided to use "tokens" to enter and exit. This token is the "entry and exit permit".
Go back and make some certificates, let the crystal energy poison tree recognize it, and people with certificates can go out in the future.
Wang Tao gave Gu Yun and the committee members considerable authority. They could find the Crystal Energy Poison Tree to make rules on their own. The Crystal Energy Poison Tree could communicate with them through consciousness. Although it could only communicate very simple things, it was enough.
Then Wang Tao went with them to see the wastewater discharged by the Crystal Energy Poison Tree. After the Crystal Energy Poison Tree used the barrier, it began to discharge wastewater. Although it was not much, others still did not dare to approach. After all, except Wang Tao, others could not withstand this level of blood loss.
"These wastewaters are also a problem. We can't leave them all in the base, right?"
Wang Tao frowned.
Facing this problem, Gu Yun and others have obviously thought of a solution.
"When you were away, we discussed and came up with two solutions. One is to have the institute step up its research on the wastewater. Since the wastewater can continuously consume people's vitality, it means that there must be energy in the wastewater. If we can find a way to use this energy, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone? The other is that we are going to make these wastewater into biological weapons! If we encounter a large number of zombies outside in the future, we can directly pour the wastewater into their nests! We will carry out these two solutions at the same time. It is hard to say whether the energy in the wastewater can be used, but it can definitely be used to make weapons!"
"..."
After hearing their solution, Wang Tao felt that it seemed to be feasible.
If they encountered those Night Devil nests built underground, they could directly wipe out the Night Devil by pouring a large amount of wastewater into the cave...
Since they already had an idea, Wang Tao would not say more.
"By the way, I'll give you some good things."
Wang Tao took out five Night Devil hearts.
"Night Devil Heart? Level 5? Wait? That one is..."
Gu Yun suddenly frowned, and he found that one of the Night Devil hearts Wang Tao took out was different from the ones he had seen. He had only seen Level 4 and Level 5, but this one was different from Level 4 and Level 5!
"4 Level 5 Night Devil Type II, 1 Level 6 Night Devil Type III."
Wang Tao said calmly.
After all, the City Hall is the manager of the base, and it must have enough military force. It is a bit difficult to let them advance to Level 5, but Level 6 Night Devil is enough to suppress people except Wang Tao and his team.
"???"
Everyone widened their eyes.
Level 6 Night Devil Heart? That is to say, Wang Tao killed at least a level 6 Night Demon Lord!
No, they are all still at level 3 or 4. Wang Tao is level 5, not to mention he killed a level 6 Lord? How can the gap between people be so big!
Gu Yun's eyes were a little complicated, and he was somewhat shocked. But he quickly put away the Night Demon Heart. This is a level 5 and level 6 Night Demon Heart, he can't refuse. But the thing is too precious, he can't take it for free.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to convert it into crystal coins and put it on your card. Just think of it as you sold it to the City Hall. Brothers have to settle accounts!"
Gu Yun said with a serious face.
If Wang Tao gave it to him personally, he could take it. But Wang Tao obviously wanted to improve the strength of the City Hall, and he couldn't let the City Hall take Wang Tao's things for nothing.
"You can do whatever you want, I'll go back first, please take care of the Crystal Energy Poison Tree."
Wang Tao smiled and waved his hand.
"It should be!"
Gu Yun nodded immediately.
Wang Tao and the Golden Eagle returned to the villa together.
Ding Yuqin and the others were still outside and had not returned yet. Wang Tao put Lightning in its doghouse. He was looking forward to Lightning's strength after his promotion tomorrow.
