"Take you away?"

"Yes, take us away, away from this godforsaken place!"

The robot, now occupied by Lü Kuan, nodded emphatically.

This friction caused the old machine to creak and groan continuously.

How do you know I can get you away from here?

"I know you can!"

Just like his interactions with a highly intelligent person like Zhong Qingshu, Su Mo's conversation with Lü Kuan also revealed some interesting points.

Unlike Su Deben, Lü Kuan understood very well how much computing power and hacking ability it would take to infiltrate the entire Virtual Reality technology in just a few tens of minutes.

Meanwhile, after inspecting the current condition of the base.

He also gained a clear understanding of how a person and a dog could withstand water pressure and descend to a depth of 5,000 meters on the seabed alone.

Simply put, in Lü Kuan's eyes, the two were no longer on the same level! "Tell me about those three technologies; I'm very interested in them!"

Making a gesture of inviting him to sit down, Su Mo clearly regarded this place as his own territory.

But his performance did not make Lü Kuan uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it made him feel a surge of joy.

Controlling the robot, Lü Kuan awkwardly sat down, and the two returned to the same horizontal plane.

"The Superalloy Smelting Technology is a technique we acquired after spending a great deal of time researching an alien race skilled in forging weapons and armor. Furthermore, after investing significant manpower and resources, we further improved upon it, achieving 300% or even 500% of that alien race's level."

"Through this technology, we can extract many super elements that are only found in the wasteland and integrate them into the objects we want using certain methods and techniques."

"For example, the robot I'm in right now may look frail and rusty, but its capabilities are actually much more than that."

"Su Mo, you can come and test the strength of this robot!"

Seeing the robot extend its iron hand, Su Mo curiously placed his hand on it and secretly exerted force.

As Lü Kuan had said, the robot's hardness and strength were terrifyingly high.

Even if he used 70% of his strength, he couldn't budge it in the slightest.

When he uses 120% of his strength, the interaction of forces creates a pricking, jarring sensation.

"Good heavens, this alloy is no ordinary material; its strength is truly astonishing!"

After trying to squeeze the robot's other smaller joints and finding that they were of the same strength, Su Mo marveled and sat back down.

Unbeknownst to Su Mo, a series of monstrous waves were surging within Lü Kuan, whom Su Mo had just pinched!

In the instruments unseen by Su Mo, on the robot's counter, were already recording terrifying numbers that sent chills down one's spine.

When Su Mo first squeezed, the robot detected a force of 3.82 tons! But when he used 120% of his strength, this figure jumped to 9.994 tons! The world record holder for the human limit of grip strength is 195 kg.

A typical urban male's grip strength is approximately between 40kg and 70kg.

A grip strength of nearly 10 tons is simply unheard of, unseen before!

Based on this data, Lü Kuan understood very well:

Although the man in front of her had a blood composition that was very similar to her own race.

But his body was not human!

Even a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex is nothing more than a chick in front of a man like this!

Fortunately, his body is no longer made of flesh and blood, but a robot.

By suppressing his body's reaction, Lü Kuan managed to contain his shock and prevent it from showing.

"The most important significance of Super Alloy technology is not that it increases our hardness and toughness, but that it helps us to expand into more branches of materials science to some extent."

"For example, if we wanted to make rockets Heat Resistance, tough, strong, and lightweight for space travel, we had to use certain ceramic materials to reduce the load and achieve the first cosmic velocity."

"But now, we can completely abandon ceramics and switch to stronger Super Alloy, which not only take all these advantages into account but are also stronger than before."

"What used to be a single-soldier Mecha weighing one or two tons can now be reduced to around 300 kg thanks to this alloy, greatly reducing energy consumption."

"Even guns can be made using Super Alloy, in exchange for longer lifespans and a more terrifying rate of fire!"

Lü Kuan pointed his finger in mid-air, and a deep blue screen slowly appeared.

As he explained, the screen gradually began to show just how buggy the technology developed by the Expeditionary Force really was.

Undoubtedly, this technology has directly opened up new possibilities for humanity, removing the biggest obstacle to the progress of various technologies that had been stagnating.

With this technology, many fields such as aerospace, military industry, chemical industry, and biology can also rapidly enter a period of explosive development.

"With this technology, we can build an army of hundreds of thousands of steel soldiers, or even an indestructible steel fortress that can withstand even an asteroid impact."

"Wait a minute, this thing is so powerful, there's no way you only managed to build one robot, right?"

Seeing that Lü Kuan had begun to uncontrollably paint a rosy picture, enthusiastically describing the prospects of this thing, Su Mo paused and interrupted him.

His interruption instantly made the situation awkward.

Lü Kuan, who had been talking non-stop just moments before, suddenly became stammering, just like a timid wife who had been exposed.

Su Mo sat up straight. "Just tell me how difficult it was to manufacture this thing!"

Lü Kuan: "Ah! This... Su Mo, actually, making this thing isn't difficult. In fact, the instruments used to make it are still perfectly preserved in our base. Those instruments for collecting super elements can be used again after some maintenance. However, the biggest problem with this thing is..."

"Energy!"

"Electricity?"

Lü Kuan gave a wry smile and slowly shook his head, "It's not just that. Electricity can reach the smelting temperature we need, but what we need is energy that can be pressurized to over 50 million degrees Celsius in just half a minute, and this energy output must continue for at least ten minutes."

"But there's an awkward problem: although we've made breakthroughs in materials science, we haven't made any progress in the field of wire materials. If we're going to use electricity as you say, we'd need at least 12 wires connected to the instrument, and each wire would have to be at least 15 meters thick!"

"And this is without considering the pressure on the power supply side. Once that's taken into account, even for manufacturing Level 5 Alloy, the instantaneous power we need would be astronomical."

Lü Kuan's explanation is very detailed.

Wires have always been a difficult problem to solve.

Just like everyone knows about the super reactor, force field materials, and nanomaterials in Iron Man's armor.

But few people know that the wires that transmit energy inside this Mecha are the real treasure! Conventional wires, given the size of the armor, would inevitably overheat and melt if they were to transmit high-power energy.

However, this armor directly violates this restriction, which is difficult even for room-temperature superconductors.

Thinking about this, Su Mo nodded thoughtfully. "Then how did you manufacture the alloy before?"

Lü Kuan: "Previously, we used machinery to carve out a waterfall with a drop of 1,000 meters among the mountains. We used the potential energy of this waterfall to convert it into electricity, and then cooled it to -196 degrees Celsius with liquid nitrogen to create an environment suitable for the use of superconducting cables."

"As for the cabling, we used 81 superconducting cables, with an instantaneous transmission power of up to 900,000 MVA."

"But even so, we have only managed to produce a small number of Ninth Grade Alloy. Theoretically, there are levels ten, fifteen, and even twentieth on top of that!"

Fearing that Su Mo wouldn't believe him, Lü Kuan once again manipulated the system to open a video.

This video fully documents the entire process of manufacturing Super Alloy.

Judging from the scale of this operation, which requires thousands of people to use engineering equipment for maintenance, it's clear that this is a significant undertaking.

The energy required to manufacture it even once is truly astonishing!

"Aren't there any other energy sources?"

"No, no, at least we didn't find it. Our Kindling Base only lasted six years and nine months in this wasteland. There may be other things waiting to be discovered, but at least we didn't find them!"

Regrettably, he closed the video interface. Seeing Su Mo deep in thought without speaking, Lü Kuan wisely remained silent and waited quietly.

For a scientist, the more amazing something is, the more it can pique their interest.

The more unfamiliar something is, the more it can stimulate their imagination and scientific research capabilities.

Humanity's technological development on Earth is slow because it has reached a bottleneck and can't find anything else. But in this wasteland, Lü Kuan is looking forward to this tyrannical man giving him a surprise.

Slowly, seeing that Su Mo had been pondering for three to five minutes without speaking, just as Lü Kuan was about to try to ask him something...

In his field of vision, a slightly familiar yet unfamiliar mineral water bottle appeared in Su Mo's hand.

He said it was familiar because the packaging of the water bottle was not much different from what he was used to.

This unfamiliarity arose from a strange emotion that suddenly arose in Su Mo's heart as he opened the bottle.

Wait a minute... Lü Kuan was suddenly stunned, staring at the pale blue liquid in the bottle in disbelief! "I feel a craving, my God, I can even taste deliciousness!"

"What is this thing? Why does it exert such a strong attraction on the robot's body that I can't resist the feeling!"

"I'm clearly just one."

Suddenly standing up, looking at the liquid in the bottle, Lü Kuan disregarded the fact that the robot's body was not yet properly broken in and maintained, and strode towards Su Mo.

On the way, he tripped and fell, but he still crawled frantically on the ground, trying to catch a glimpse of the object.

This strange impulse made him rediscover the feeling of "being human".

It also gave him a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos!

In his excitement, Lü Kuan's movements became increasingly uncontrollable, and the robot's crawling became like it was having an epileptic seizure, trembling wildly on the ground.

But suddenly, a pair of warm, large hands with the grip strength of ten tons were placed on his shoulders.

Like an eagle snatching a chick, Lü Kuan stood up.

The Psionic Water was also handed to him! At that moment, he almost cried!
