The netizens’ opinions were somewhat beyond Zhang Mu’s expectations.
In his opinion, the Shanmen team's forceful approach to other people's territory was a slightly overbearing behavior that would be disliked by most people.
However, most of the arguments in the comment section are that the Ying country’s army was unable to resist the disaster, and Shanmen went there for the purpose of rescue, so it didn’t matter whether they got the other party’s permission or not.
Because those who are qualified enough to approve the opening of borders will not be on the front line of defending against disasters.
It is possible that they would disregard the safety of people's lives for the sake of their own reputation.
The purpose of Shanmen is not to save the black-hearted ZBJ, but for the grassroots people.
Zhang Mu took a few glances but didn’t take it too seriously. He opened the light gate and entered the “world”.
As usual, he went to check the "Senior Brother Zhou" puppet first - these guys were too talkative, and the language system was the weakest function of the puppet, so Zhang Mu had to maintain it whenever he had time.
After the routine check, he replenished some magic power into the core, then connected to the core to extract the recorded information of his absence for two days.
Basically the same as usual, the three old men came together during the puppet's working hours to ask questions and left without any delay at the end of the working hour.
Afterwards, Zhang Mu contacted Fellow Daoist Liu who was responsible for monitoring everyone.
After Luo Xiling and the other four came back, they did not slack off but practiced sword techniques with full concentration.
Several directors, probably inspired by Lin Miao, set out early in the morning every day and returned at night, sweating and working hard to cut down trees in the back mountain.
If it's not the iron tree on the top of the mountain, they can't cut it down.
Obviously, such efforts were useless. After all, although the mountain gate was filled with magic power, without the assistance of meditation or knightly magic, they could not absorb the magic power into their bodies at all.
Well... at most I feel the air is fresher, and breathing it for a while makes me feel more refreshed, that's all.
When he opened his eyes, he felt a little emotional. The temptation of the extraordinary to humans is really terrifying. These guys who have been fishing in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau for more than ten years are now fighting hard.
When you send them back, give them some diluted physical strength potion.
After making the decision, Zhang Mu moved his mind slightly and walked up to the director who was swinging the axe at the tree trunk.
He wanted to say hello first, chat for a few minutes, and then ask about the research team's preparations.
Unexpectedly, the director had been waiting for him. As soon as he saw him, he immediately asked him to take him out.
There is no sun or moon inside the mountain gate, and all electronic equipment is useless, but the director has calculated that the length of a day at the mountain gate is basically the same as that on Blue Planet.
A cycle of day and night consists of twenty-four hours. The director counted the days and estimated that the anxious researchers should have arrived yesterday.
The work efficiency is fast enough.
Zhang Mu was slightly happy in his heart, but his expression remained calm. He waved and called Kunpeng, who carried the director on his back and passed through the opened light gate.
He calculated very accurately.
Through Kunpeng's eyes, Zhang Mu saw a temporary airport built on the coast.
A transport plane was gliding and landing on the runway. After it stopped, a group of large construction machines drove out of the cabin.
Without staying where they were, under the command of the ground crew, the excavators, cranes, etc. turned right onto a road and drove directly towards the mountains not far away.
They appear to be planning to hollow out the mountain and build a laboratory away from satellites.
Zhang Mu felt that this was an unnecessary operation.
Just mention it to him, and he will simply draw a blocking magic circle around to block the view - he has never learned the development of similar functions, but Mih has a lot of experience in this area, and he can go back to Sol Continent to learn from him in one day to solve the problem.
However, the construction had already started, and Zhang Mu couldn't offer to help unless the director asked.
That seemed too deliberate.
Again, never treat the leadership of a country of more than one billion people as naive children who can be toyed with at will.
The character that Zhang Mu has always created is one that is indifferent to the modern civilization of Blue Planet.
I am an easy-going person. I provide some things with an attitude of "helping" you. It is up to you how it develops.
If he runs over and says, "You guys are too slow, let me help."
Not to mention the director, who looks honest on the surface but is actually a shrewd person at heart, even the slightly dull Zhao Qi would be able to sense that something was wrong.
After all, the Chinese people believe that "if someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief", and there is also an ancient saying that is regarded as truth by modern people: "When a weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken, he has no good intentions."
So don’t do anything that will ruin your character.
Zhang Mu could only watch as the director found the person in charge on site, and after communication, he helped coordinate and allocate human resources to start excavating the mountain.
He was indeed anxious, and as he had nothing else to do, Zhang Mu would use Kunpeng's two round eyes to spy on the construction progress every day.
Five days passed in a flash.
During this period, Zhang Mu rushed to Ying Kingdom, delivered the doll to the Queen's palace, and asked about the preparation of supplies.
When we learned that some parts had not yet arrived, we returned the same way.
However, the progress of the busy construction team in the mountains is encouraging.
On the third day, the director accidentally saw Kunpeng circling in the sky above his head. Zhang Mu told him that his senior brother was very interested in their work and was playing on the spot.
He thought to himself, since Immortal Kunpeng likes to watch excavators working on mountains, why not ask him for help?
Zhang Mu, who had been impatient for a long time, took advantage of the situation and controlled Kunpeng to hollow out the towering mountain.
Afterwards, Zhang Mu simply took action secretly and used magic power to reinforce the mountains that were only left with the outer shell, and appeared in person to tell them that it was all done by his senior brother on a whim.
The excited director quickly moved the experimental equipment into the base, and the researchers took their positions to officially develop a new generation of moon rockets.
Chapter 250 The Aftermath of the Disaster
The cave base was officially put into use. Zhang Mu controlled Kunpeng to carry the director and the stacked metal boxes back to the "world" together, and then connected to the "Senior Brother Zhou" puppet.
As expected, the Special Investigation Bureau will soon exchange the required materials.
Sure enough, only ten minutes later, the three academicians and Ye Ming walked into Qingfeng Hall, followed by several staff members carrying metal boxes.
The box was lifted onto the table and opened. Senior Brother Zhou glanced at the neatly arranged metal blocks inside and quoted the total price of this batch of rhenium according to the price list given before.
Of course, everyone did not think that the mountain gate would be stingy, so they just gathered in a circle to discuss how to distribute the "stones" they had exchanged.
Their idea is to exchange a small amount of each item first, and then exchange it in large quantities after obtaining accurate data and applicability through experiments.
But the amount of "stone" exchanged for this batch of rhenium is limited, not enough to purchase a standard unit of each item on the list.
Then several people started arguing about which things they wanted first.
The floating stone is necessary. It is related to the power system of the new generation of spacecraft and is the most important heart. Without it, subsequent plans are all empty talk.
Next is the type of material used to construct the bulk of the spacecraft.
Today's spacecraft are made up of multiple detachable structures. Each part has different functions, and the requirements for material selection also vary.
For example, the tip of the nose does not need to return to the ground, but only needs to withstand the aerodynamic heating when passing through the atmosphere.
Therefore, it is sufficient to select some heat-resistant metals without considering their impact on the safety of astronauts or materials inside.
But this time, everyone's new blueprint is a "spaceship" that can travel freely between outer space and the blue planet, so naturally it cannot be designed like before.
After an intense discussion, they unanimously decided to select a companion mineral called "Flame Crystal" on the list as the main material for the ship's hull.
From a literal analysis, the word "Yan Jing" seems to be related to high temperature, such as emitting heat itself.
However, it is not.
The reason why Zhang Mu named it Yan Jing was simply because after being injected with magic power, it would radiate red light, and the transparent nature of the crystal seemed to be mixed with many impurities, becoming blurred.
This crystal stone is not only extremely hard but also extremely tough, making it the best material for ship hulls.
Of course, Ye Ming and the three academicians did not know that Yan Jing was the ore carefully selected by Zhang Mu and specially given to them for building the ship's hull.
A few people just looked at the suggestive and misleading list introduction specially written by Zhang Mu and felt that it was suitable for their own spacecraft concept.
After solving these two aspects, the last and most important thing is the energy source of the floating stone.
It is a very troublesome problem to start the floating stone and control the power freely.
They grumbled for a while but couldn't come up with any good ideas, so they decided to put it aside for now and put it on the agenda again after there was progress in the research on the floating stone.
Zhang Mu in the dark couldn't stand it any longer. If they kept procrastinating like this, when would they be able to go to the moon to mine?
I will be leaving for Lake Capital in a few days, and may have to deal with turmoil in cities everywhere afterwards, so I don't have time to waste on them.
So, he simply let Brother Zhou tell him the plan he had already thought of.
For Blue Star, which has never been exposed to magical civilization, it is not feasible to use the modern industrial system to interpret the power control of the floating stone.
To put it simply, magic is not oil, and there is mature technology to transform and utilize it.
It is not feasible to use floating stones as engines and magic as oil to apply modern power technology.
Therefore, Zhang Mu changed his thinking and directly helped them design an integrated power control panel that could be used right away.
This thing is also Joffrey's main work in recent times besides the research and development of magical weapons.
Of course, I can’t just take the things out directly, that would be too obvious, which would be like saying that I have already arranged everything for you and you just need to follow my ideas.
This inevitably makes people vigilant.
So Zhang Mu found an appropriate excuse - regarding the use of floating stones, some disciples of the mountain sect who love to study strange objects have figured out some results, and you can exchange them.
As soon as Senior Brother Zhou finished speaking, they were so happy.
Although not having the core technology of spacecraft in their own hands is an intolerable pain for major powers, they are not prepared to use the new spacecraft as the main force of aviation.
The academicians had planned from the beginning to use a small amount of cutting-edge mountain gate technology to improve the speed and height of modern development.
Then it doesn’t matter whether the key technology is in our hands.
Several people made a quick decision to exchange them for fire crystals, floating stones, and some materials with outstanding effects such as low-temperature resistance, high-temperature resistance, and radiation isolation for the construction of personnel cabins.
In this way, skipping the tedious process of collecting the "stone", Brother Zhou took out the rhenium from the metal box and stuffed what they wanted into it.
On the way, Ye Ming suddenly had an idea and suggested exchanging one less urgent material and asked Brother Zhou for some "stones" for research.
After all, it is a scarce commodity that is needed by the people of the mountain gate. It would be a lie to say that I am not curious.
In-depth research may reveal unexpected results.
Unfortunately, Zhang Mu had anticipated their plan and simply blocked the road - the supplies they brought were not given "stones", but wooden signs with their values marked on them.
