Chapter 100 Weapon Enhancement
On May 31st, the final exams for both the schools for people with superpowers and ordinary people began. After having breakfast at Li Chenglong's place, Han Xiaoling went to the school for people with superpowers. The school wasn't far, and since Han Xiaoling had already become a Level 5B Wind Chaser Leopard Awakener, she arrived at the school in just a few minutes. It's worth mentioning that the school for ordinary people isn't located in the Education and Research Zone, but rather in Residential Zones 1 and 2, where there are joint primary and middle schools and a high school, making it convenient for residents to attend school nearby. Li Xue had previously suggested renaming the Education and Research Zone to the Research Zone. Li Chenglong considered it and rejected the suggestion, deciding to move the school there once the city's public transportation network was completed. This would facilitate management and provide the students with a better learning environment.
As soon as Li Chenglong entered the assistant's office to the left of the city lord's office, he saw Wang Xiao already working at her crystal computer. She was occasionally printing out materials. Li Chenglong greeted her and went into his office to retrieve the materials Wang Xiao had given him: "I've reviewed all these documents from yesterday, along with the files sent from the computer and some applications, and I've responded to them all. Sister Wang, could you please send them to me later if it's convenient?" Wang Xiao said with some surprise, "You've read all of that and responded to it all?" She then picked up the documents and began to read them one by one. She found that, as Li Chenglong had said, there were appointment letters for military officers, various approvals from Dawn City, reports on advanced collectives and individuals, etc., all of which Li Chenglong had responded to. Li Chenglong smiled and said, "It's thanks to your excellent preliminary work, Sister Wang, that I was able to complete the mission so smoothly. I need to go out for a bit. If you need anything, you can contact Yun Lan via the internal line; she's with the special forces now."
After he left, Wang Xiao collected all the documents that Li Chenglong had categorized and distributed the appointment letters and commendation orders. Li Chenglong went to Alice on the eighth floor to ask how the factory in his storage space could operate. Alice was quite surprised when she learned of his purpose: "A storage space with a superpower factory? In my computer records, only a few kings throughout history have had one. The last person to have a superpower factory was Miss Erica's grandfather, His Majesty Mattis." Li Chenglong quickly asked, "What can this superpower factory do?" Alice said excitedly, "This factory is very useful, but since you're only level 7 now, the factory can only do some simple things like enhancing weapons. A few days ago, Yunlan asked me if I knew any ways to enhance the power of firearms, because ordinary guns are no longer enough to deal with the gradually evolving zombie army."
Li Chenglong asked, "Then how do I enhance the weapons? I went to Production Zone One yesterday, and now we can manufacture Level 1 and Level 2 crystal bullets, but the current standard rifles can't fire many rounds before they break down." Alice said, "You can store the weapons inside and place them on the factory's production line. Look at the first machine on each production line; you just need to inject your spiritual energy into it, and it will start working. Then, by enhancing each of the four machines on that production line, the gun can withstand more than 500 Level 2 crystal bullets." Li Chenglong nodded, "I see. Does that mean that the operation of the technology zone will require my spiritual energy supply in the future? Can I use crystals?" Alice said, "Yes, the operation of the technology zone will still require your spiritual energy. Although you can't use crystals directly, you can use crystals to restore your spiritual energy and continue enhancing the weapons."
Li Chenglong was very excited and wanted to go out and try it out. Alice finally said, "Actually, your technology zone and storage zone are secondary. The natural zone, which occupies half of your storage space, is more important. I feel that as your level increases, the natural zone will undergo tremendous changes. According to the historical records of our planet Meral, some special storage spaces' natural zones can eventually nurture crystals." Li Chenglong was a little surprised: "Crystals can be nurtured?" Alice said, "Yes, but you need to be at least level 10 to have a chance. It's still early. And not only crystals can be nurtured, but various spiritual plants will also be nurtured."
After saying goodbye to Alice, Li Chenglong first retrieved a standard-issue rifle from his room and then placed it on the production line of the superpower factory, injecting his superpower into the equipment. The production line immediately started, and a few minutes later, the standard-issue rifle was delivered from the exit of the last piece of equipment. He quickly took the gun out and found that although the design hadn't changed, the color of the gun body had turned obsidian, with several red lines running through it, emitting a faint red glow. According to the factory's equipment manual, this was a sign of superpower enhancement injected into the firearm, which would significantly increase its strength and make the power of crystal bullets fired much greater than that of ordinary firearms firing crystal bullets. Li Chenglong nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, and it didn't consume too much of my spiritual energy. With my current level seven awakened user's spiritual energy reserves, I can manufacture seventy or eighty at a time. The best part is that the enhanced firearms can still use ordinary bullets, and they will also have increased power."
As for whether to upgrade those superalloy swords, Li Chenglong thought about it and decided against it for the time being. After all, humans are inherently at a disadvantage in battles against zombies; if they can kill enemies from a distance, they shouldn't engage in close combat. Therefore, upgrading firearms became the priority. He contacted Shen Menghua via internal phone and asked her to send over a batch of firearms so he could upgrade them and supply them directly to the troops. Shen Menghua was very happy to learn that Li Chenglong had a way to upgrade firearms and said she would send someone to deliver 500 guns that afternoon.
After completing this task, Li Chenglong tallied his current number of psionic fruits: 220 psionic persimmons and 8 psionic apples, all ripe and harvested, which he had placed in a designated area of the storage zone. Li Chenglong planned to give one apple to Shen Menghua and the rest to the army. Without hesitation, he contacted Zheng Yong, instructing him to summon each battalion commander and a deputy battalion commander to a meeting at the Dawn Building that evening to discuss the distribution of psionic apples and to have them take back another batch of psionic persimmons. With his current level of 7, psionic persimmons ripen approximately every 25 days, and psionic apples every 35 days. He believed that the yields of both psionic persimmons and apples would increase next time.
