When Nie Chang heard Lin Yi's speculation that "there may be equipment for manufacturing Source Energy Crystal's body", his heart felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he was shocked.
Of course the official has obtained it, and there are more than one.
He still clearly remembers how excited the entire senior management was when he first discovered that the crystal contained the ['Source Sea' I-type crystal maker], which could extract free Source Energy from the surrounding environment and compress and solidify it into a standard Source Energy Crystal body.
However, the reality that followed poured cold water on them.
The actual working efficiency of the 'Source Sea' Type I is appallingly low. It runs 24 hours a day without interruption. After deducting its own operation requirements, it can only produce one Level 1 Source Energy Crystal of the lowest grade.
The initial excitement quickly cooled and was replaced by deep disappointment.
They once thought that this machine may have this "small flow" design idea, and it needs to rely on a huge number of stacks to achieve considerable total production capacity.
Or, the grade of 'Source Sea' Type I is too low, and the output will only be qualitatively improved after obtaining Type II or Type III later.
Until now, when Lin Yi revealed the truth about "Blue Star Source Energy is extremely poor", Nie Chang was enlightened.
It turns out that it's not that the machine is useless, but that it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw!
This crystal maker is not an inefficient assembly line equipment at all, it is a "money printing machine" that may be very efficient under normal Source Energy conditions.
Its low yield is simply because in this damn place Blue Star, there is simply no "rice" for it to cook.
After figuring this out, Nie Chang suddenly broke into a cold sweat behind his back, which was soon replaced by great excitement.
What does this mean?
This means that once the "Vortex Type I" in the crystal in Lin Yi's hand can artificially create a high-concentration Source Energy environment, then the value of the "Source Sea" Type I that has been ignored by everyone and piled in the Academy of Sciences warehouse and managed by only one or two people will undergo earth-shaking changes.
It will become the strategic core in the true sense and the heart of the human Source Energy system.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his turbulent emotions.
Looking at Lin Yi with calm eyes in front of him, Nie Chang felt that with his strength, contribution and foresight shown at this moment, he was fully qualified to know most of the secrets.
After all, in war years, many things can be done according to the authority, and there is no need to be very rigid in confidentiality regulations.
There was a bitter smile on his face, a mixture of bitterness and surprise, and he said frankly, "Major Lin, your idea is not just a guess, but a fact. We have obtained more than one piece of equipment called the 'Source Sea' I-type crystal manufacturing machine."
He briefly explained its poor production capacity and previous misunderstandings, and finally said with emotion, "Now it seems that it is not that it is useless, but that we have been keeping it in a 'hungry' state."
"It and the Source Energy Condenser in your hand are probably the truly supporting core system."
Then, Nie Chang seemed to have thought of something, his expression straightened, and he said to Lin Yi very formally:
"Major Lin, there is one more thing I need to explain to you."
"According to the combat regulations of 'Dawn Project', all battle harvests, including the crystals dropped by Abyss Beast and the crystals generated after the dissipation of Nest, will be used as trophies of collective combat, and will be distributed after the war by Command Headquarters after unified evaluation and registration."
"As for the crystals produced by the Black Flame Abyss Tiger you killed alone, and this Seven-Colored Crystal."
Nie Chang looked into Lin Yi's eyes, with a slightly apologetic and cautious tone, "What do you think?"
Lin Yi heard the subtext and the embarrassment and apology in Nie Chang's words.
He was not surprised by this.
Of course he knew the rule of centralized distribution of spoils. This was the basis for maintaining discipline and fairness in the army, and he had never thought of doing anything special.
What's more, this Seven-Colored Crystal "Vortex I type" really doesn't mean much to an individual.
It needs to be set up and maintained, and it affects an area. It is far less convenient and direct for personal cultivation than the Source Energy Crystal body.
As for the white Gold-Veined Crystal dropped by Black Flame Abyss Tiger, the contents inside may be good, but
Lin Yi The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
He believes that if the contents inside are really of great benefit to him at this stage, with the value he has shown now and the official attitude, the crystal will probably go around in circles in the end, and there is a high probability that it will be returned to him in the name of "reward", "rationing" or other names.
Therefore, Lin Yi did not hesitate and directly expressed his position, "Commander Nie, I am also a soldier. This is also a military operation, so everything will naturally be handled in accordance with military regulations. I have no objection to the provisions of turning over the spoils for uniform distribution and will resolutely obey them."
Nie Chang Hearing this, a heartfelt affirmation and relief suddenly surged in his heart.
Comrades who are strong but abide by discipline, who have made great achievements without being arrogant about taking credit, are really rare.
"Okay, thank you Major Lin for your understanding and support!"
Nie Chang nodded heavily, and then said, "Major Lin, I have to excuse you for a moment. The analysis you just provided about Source Energy's poverty and device matching, as well as the existence of this 'Vortex Type I', is too important. I must report it to Supreme Command in detail immediately."
Then, he turned his eyes to Seven-Colored Crystal in his hand, and his tone became extremely serious.
"As for this crystal, it has a special situation and is of great significance. It is far beyond the scope of ordinary trophies. For the sake of absolute safety, it will not go through other links. I will personally keep it and bring it back directly. What do you think?"
Lin Yi naturally understands that it is not an exaggeration to say that this thing is an "important weapon of the country", and no matter how cautious it is, it is not too much.
He nodded immediately, "It should be so, I have no objection."
Nie Chang carefully placed the crystal close to his body, nodded solemnly to Lin Yi again, then turned around and strode towards the command vehicle, his steps hurried but extremely steady.
The next time is to clean the battlefield, count casualties, collect loot, recover usable materials, and organize the evacuation of troops.
When the convoy full of victorious troops returned to the Helu City settlement, it received an unimaginable warm welcome from the residents who had already received the news.
The gate of the settlement has long been opened, and the roads are lined with eager residents.
They were waving whatever they could find temporarily in their hands, their faces filled with excitement and ecstasy.
There were cheers, applause, and applause. The children were lifted above their heads by their parents, vying to get a look at the warriors who defeated the monsters.
The volunteers had already prepared clean drinking water and simple food, and enthusiastically handed them to every returning soldier.
The entire settlement is immersed in an atmosphere full of hope.
This victory not only destroyed one Nest, but also greatly boosted the morale and confidence of all survivors.
This means that one day, everyone can return home!
However, in this sea of celebration, a small team quietly broke away from the team.
The three special operations teams did not participate in the triumphal ceremony.
They received the highest priority order directly from Nie Chang.
The team members escorted Nie Chang, who looked solemn, and quickly boarded a Night Owl Armed Helicopter with a camera that recorded the entire battle video of the "Dawn" plan, as well as Lin Yi's recent explanation video.
At the same time, the other four Night Owl quickly took off and guarded closely on both sides.
The propellers stirred up huge airflow and noise. Under the gaze of countless curious and puzzled people, this small fleet did not stop for a moment, quickly increased its altitude, adjusted its direction, and sped towards the north.
In addition to the news of victory, what they carried also contained Seed of Hope concerning the future of the entire civilization.
