Chen Guandong was the head of the Mining and Machinery Department of Yin Meng, and he supervised the munitions factory. His position was the same as that of Wang Le in Hubei. He and Xiao Lang were old partners. Most of the machinery and equipment in Yin Meng had been modified by Xiao Lang. The purpose of sending the two over was to prepare to build an air corvette factory that belonged to China. At least the assembly work would be completed here. In addition, Zhang Xiaoqiang also wanted to develop an engine that truly belonged to China. The engine was the heart of the aircraft.
After talking with Zhang Xiao Qiang for a while, the two of them confirmed their responsibility and mission. They expressed to Zhang Xiao Qiang that they were willing to die. After Zhang Xiao Qiang gave Chen Guandong a 100% chance of becoming an evolver, he sent the smug Chen Guandong away. However, he left Xiao Lang alone.
Xiao Lang was not a real evolver of science. Compared to the endless new technologies and new equipment that could be mass-produced in the new era, Xiao Lang's biggest specialty was to repair waste, or in other words, to turn waste into treasure. Whether it was the new era's cracking gun or the new engine, after his optimization, the efficiency could be increased by 50% to 150%. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not expect him to invent anything, he only needed to improve the existing things.
Xiao Lang was a smart person. After becoming an evolver, he knew that his ability would allow him to live a carefree life, but it would also bring him shackles and danger. He would rather keep a low profile than show off. When he was accepted by Zhang Xiaoqiang and knew that Zhang Xiaoqiang was the most powerful person in the Yin Meng area, he took the initiative to prove his value. He became a popular person and was valued by Zhang Xiaoqiang. He was one of the few people that could be remembered by Zhang Xiaoqiang.
His intelligence did not go to waste. Zhang Xiaoqiang not only gave him the best treatment, but also provided him with an unlimited amount of fruits and vegetables and food that were good for evolvers. He also gave him the very precious colloid, which made him the earliest evolver in the Yin Meng area to improve his ability. Before, he could only optimize some simple weapons and equipment, and could not do anything to too complicated equipment. But now, he could even optimize an alien spaceship.
Facing Zhang Xiaoqiang alone, Xiao Lang was still a bit reserved. He did not say anything and waited for Zhang Xiaoqiang to speak. He was a bit nervous in the silence. His right hand on the armrest of the chair kept stroking it, and his breathing became heavier. Zhang Xiaoqiang habitually took out a cigarette and threw one to Xiao Lang. He lit one himself and said casually, "I will give you a mission alone. You are not allowed to tell anyone about this mission. After you complete it, I will give you a generous reward. Can you do it?"
Xiao Lang carefully raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang. He unconsciously swallowed his saliva, but there were many questions in his mind. If Zhang Xiaoqiang needed him to do something, he could just tell him. Why did he have to be so serious?
Without any hesitation, Xiao Lang nodded immediately. Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled. He was very satisfied with Xiao Lang's tactfulness.
"Zhou Jie told me that your ability cannot be used evenly. Weapons and equipment can be optimized by at least 50%, and the highest can be optimized to 200%. I want to know if there is any trick to this?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang asked casually. Xiao Lang's ability was very useful, but 50% to 200% was a difference of four times. This difference was a bit scary. There was only one supernova bomb left on the frigate, and it was prepared to be used as the final trump card. If the power was increased by 50%, the area covered by the explosion would increase by at least 20%. However, if it was increased to 100%, the area covered would increase by at least 80%. Even the fastest mutated beast would not be able to escape from the explosion. Even a Divine Level Warrior would not be able to escape. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang had to figure out the trick behind it.
After Xiao Lang finished listening to Zhang Xiaoqiang's question, he suddenly became nervous. He put his hands together and inserted them between his legs. He did not dare to raise his head and explained in a low voice, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, it's not that I'm cheating, but there is a limit to the number of times I can use my ability. The bigger the equipment, the harder it is to modify. The smaller the equipment, the easier it is to modify. For example, if I modify an airplane, I can barely increase the performance of a helicopter by 10%, and it would take a whole day. However, if I only modify the engine, I only need an hour to increase the performance by 100%.
If I need to modify 20 engines in a day, then the efficiency can only increase by 50% at most. However, if there is only one engine, then the efficiency can be increased to 150%. As for 200%, that is something that can only be obtained through luck. Unless I am in the best state of mind that day, and only have one machine that needs to be modified, then I can only achieve that by activating all my abilities …
Xiao Lang's explanation made Zhang Xiaoqiang understand the reason behind it. To put it bluntly, it was a matter of quantity and quality, and it was related to Xiao Lang's mental state. However, this was not a problem for Zhang Xiaoqiang. He took out a crystal test tube and threw it to Xiao Lang. There were ten blood-red seeds in the crystal tube. When Xiao Lang held it in his hand, his palm was almost dyed red. Looking at the test tube in his hand, he stared at Zhang Xiaoqiang in confusion. "You helped me modify a bomb. This is your reward.
"This is your reward for helping me modify the Moment Bomb. The blood seeds inside are very precious. Only three of them are needed to turn an ordinary person into an evolver. There is no chance of failure. Once an evolver eats them, their power will increase. You can keep a few for your woman and eat the rest. I believe that once you increase your power, it should not be a problem for you to extract 200% of its power …"
Xiao Lang's heart almost exploded when he heard Zhang Xiaoqiang's reward. As an evolved person, how could he not know the value of this? Although with his level, he would definitely be able to get the Evolutionary Substance for his woman, it did not mean that it was 100% safe. Other than ordinary people who desperately wanted to change their fate, anyone with a certain status would not be willing to take the risk. Moreover, it could increase an evolved person's ability. According to Zhang Xiaoqiang, after eating the remaining seven bloods, he would definitely level up, which was very rare for him.
"No … no problem, I can definitely do it. I can guarantee at least 200% of the efficiency …"
After sending Xiao Lang off, Zhang Xiao Qiang sat alone for a while, smoking and thinking about how to face Eliza and his wives. Meow Meow, that big mouth, had sold him out completely. Although he had already decided to cut all ties with her, he was still a man. He couldn't just pull up his pants and disregard her. Crescent Moon was still fine, nothing had happened, and he didn't have to care about it. But Eliza ….
Like a criminal being escorted to the execution ground, the confused Zhang Xiaoqiang dragged his heavy steps slowly towards his room. The presidential suite used to be his home in Silver Chuan, but now, it might be his place of suffering.
As soon as he saw the cracked door, he heard a bell-like laughter coming from the room. Realizing that it was Zhuo Mingyue's laughter, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart slightly relaxed. At least the hot-tempered Zhuo Mingyue was in a good mood. Maybe he could get away with it?
Quickening his pace, he pushed open the door and saw Ji Xiaocao standing in the center of the room, performing telekinesis. Two green crystal ball-like fruits were circling above her head, as if they were swinging a rope. Zhang Xiaoqiang could naturally see that the fruits were floating in the air. At first glance, even he was shocked, but then his expression became gloomy. Ji Xiaocao was not an evolved person before, and there was no second rainwater for her to drink. There was only one possibility, someone had used Evolutionary Substance on her. Even 90% of the Evolutionary Substance was not safe. Thinking that Ji Xiaocao had almost turned into a zombie, Zhang Xiaoqiang could not help but feel angry.
Zhuo Mingyue hugged her legs as she sat on the sofa, looking at Xiaocao with a knowing smile. The other women were sitting around. Other than his wives, Meow, Ma Fei, Xiang Haier, Zhao Xiaobo, and Cat Eyes were all there. Alyssa sat alone, looking anxious. When she saw Zhang Xiaoqiang enter, she suddenly stood up and was at a loss. She wanted to say something, but did not know what to say.
"Your goddaughter is not bad. Haha, she uses telekinesis, the same as me. I've decided to make her my disciple..." Looking up and seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang enter, Zhuo Mingyue did not question him about Alyssa. Instead, she changed the topic to Ji Xiaocao. It could be seen that she was very satisfied with Xiaocao. After all, evolvers like Xiaocao were rare, and she had the same ability as her. In terms of telekinesis, there was no evolver in the world who could surpass her.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not reply. He did not even look at Zhuo Mingyue. He walked quickly towards Alyssa, which made Zhuo Mingyue's beautiful eyes look a bit gloomy.
"Slap …" Just as Zhuo Mingyue was about to teach Zhang Xiaoqiang a lesson, Zhang Xiaoqiang slapped Alyssa's face hard, causing her to cover her face in shock. It also made all the women in the room put down what they were doing and look over in surprise. Zhang Xiaoqiang had always been very generous to them. Sometimes, he would even compromise without principles. This was why they were willing to follow Zhang Xiaoqiang, even if they had to share a man with someone else. However, today's slap had broken their common sense.
Alyssa looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had an unfriendly look in his eyes, and her whole body trembled. Zhang Xiaoqiang saw her like this and could not help but feel sour in his heart. They had not seen each other for so long, and he had slapped her as soon as they met. It was a bit too much, but when he thought of Ji Xiaocao being injected with the Evolutionary Substance without knowing anything, he could not help but become even angrier. For Zhang Xiaoqiang, Ji Xiaocao was his goddaughter and also his family. In this cold post-apocalyptic world, the only people he cared about the most were his family.
"Don't... don't hit mommy..." Ji Xiaocao screamed and threw away the floating crystal fruit. She ran between the two of them and shielded Alyssa behind her. She looked up at Zhang Xiaoqiang with tears in her eyes.
"Who injected her with the Evolutionary Substance?" Zhang Xiaoqiang did not pay attention to Xiao Budian under him and looked at Alyssa with an unfriendly tone.
