Chapter 516 Initial Success
Li Chenglong's evening lecture lasted from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. before ending amidst thunderous applause. As he was organizing materials at the podium, Zhou Jinqiang and several squad leaders from the superhuman squad came over together.
Zhou Jinqiang asked excitedly, "Instructor, your words are worth more than ten years of study. After listening to your lecture today, I realized that superpowers can be used in this way, and that different superpowered individuals can exert such great strength when they team up. What time can we start training tomorrow?"
Li Chenglong thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it at 7 a.m. tomorrow. It's too hot, so if we train earlier, we can finish earlier. But we can't train too early. This afternoon's training was very tough, so let them rest a bit more. That way, they can train more effectively."
After they left, Jin Linfei and Jin Mengfei, who were sitting in the first row, also came over. The older sister, Jin Linfei, said, "Brother Li, let's go together. I still have some questions about people with superpowers that I want to ask you on the way."
Li Chenglong had finished organizing the materials and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go together." Along the way, Li Chenglong answered some of the two women's questions, and even patiently answered the questions of the female guards next to them.
After returning to his room, Li Chenglong took a good shower. Although they had been harassed by special forces, the basic water supply in Jinlan City was still adequate, but the electricity supply was somewhat unreliable. Even the city lord's mansion only had electricity at specific times each day.
After Li Chenglong, Han Xiaoling, and others helped their country resolve the zombie crisis, the living standards of the residents in various cities gradually began to recover thanks to their efforts. However, in the following years, with the increasing frequency of attacks by special forces, some cities were destroyed, and even those that survived saw their residents' living standards plummet. Even so, things are still much better now than during the initial zombie apocalypse.
This "Earth" is only one-tenth the size of the Earth in Li Chenglong's world. The ratio of land to ocean is very similar to Earth, almost 3 to 7. The continent where Jinlan City is located is called the Pangaea. This continent has only one country, called the Sanggu Kingdom, with a total area of 450 million square kilometers.
The Sanggu Kingdom operates under a federal system, consisting of 30 states. According to Jin Hai's introduction today, only 14 states remain. Of these, only 5 states still maintain connections with Jinlan City in Jinlan State: Lanzhou, Dezhou, Qianzhou, Fengzhou, and Yunzhou. Qianzhou is the largest state in the Sanggu Kingdom, with a total area of 50 square kilometers, and is currently the most powerful.
Li Chenglong inspected the repair status of the Sea Emperor and saw that the fully automated robots in the space factory, under the command of the main control computer, had completely disassembled one side of the Sea Emperor into a pile of parts. A little further away, there was a pile of scrapped parts, which were probably all that needed to be replaced.
Seeing this, he stopped worrying about it. Fortunately, a large number of the latest equipment and automated robots inside the space factory were inherited from Teacher Lena; otherwise, whether the Sea Emperor could be repaired would be a problem.
At 6 a.m. the next morning, Li Chenglong had already finished washing up and arrived at the main hall of the city lord's mansion. He had already discussed with Jin Hai and the others the day before, and that they would first install the crystal generator in the city lord's mansion this morning to let them see the effect, and then discuss other weapons, equipment and various machines later.
Upon arriving at the lobby, Li Chenglong found Jin Hai already standing there with five men dressed as electricians. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Uncle Jin, you're over 60 years old, aren't you? Even though we made an appointment, you didn't need to come so early."
Jin Hai said with a smile, "As people get older, they sleep less. And last night when I told these people that you had a new type of power generation device, they were all very curious and came with me early this morning."
The five electricians nodded to Li Chenglong, and one of them stepped forward and said, "That's right. Currently, Jinlan City has very few power generation devices and is experiencing energy depletion, so the daily power supply time has been reduced to three hours. Moreover, according to our estimates, if this situation continues for another two months, the entire city will have to go without power all day."
They had to assemble at the training ground at 7 o'clock, so Li Chenglong didn't waste any time here. He and Jin Hai and the others went to a room that had been emptied out and magically produced a huge crystal generator. This was a first-generation crystal generator that Dawn City had already phased out. It was very large, almost the size of a room, and its power generation capacity was somewhat lacking, but it was definitely enough for use in Jinlan City.
Li Chenglong first explained the operation of the crystal generator to the five electricians in detail and watched them connect the wires. He said to Jin Hai, "This machine is called a crystal generator. It uses yellow or green crystals to generate electricity. One green crystal can generate 5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. Yesterday, I heard from the two city lords that we obtained a lot of crystals from our battle with the special forces, which can be used to generate electricity."
After saying that, he inserted a green crystal and started operating the panel on the crystal generator. A short while later, the machine began to run. At this moment, a maid walked in from outside and said, "Uncle Jin, Mr. Li, we just checked the situation in the city lord's mansion and found that everything is now powered."
Jin Hai nodded and said with a smile, "Captain Li, this is really a treasure. It's enough for the City Lord's Mansion with 500 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, but it's still a drop in the bucket for the entire Jinlan City. And while this generator is good, it's also a bit too big."
Li Chenglong also felt that the first-generation generator was indeed too large, so he said, "Alright then, I currently have four types of crystal generators. The first generation is indeed not good enough. I recommend the second and third generation crystal generators to you. The second generation crystal generator uses level 7 blue crystals, and one crystal can generate 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. The third generation crystal generator can use level 4 to 8 crystals, and different levels of crystals can generate different amounts of electricity."
As he spoke, Li Chenglong took out one of each of the two types of generators. Everyone could see that the second and third generation generators were smaller than the first generation, but their appearance had a futuristic feel. Li Chenglong explained, "These two generators have more functions and more than a dozen different voltage output ports, which can meet the production and living needs of different environments. Of course, they are also more expensive."
Jin Hai said with satisfaction, "Good, with these two types of generators, the energy problem in Jinlan City can be greatly solved. Captain Li, please calculate the price. We need 20 second-generation generators and 30 third-generation generators."
Li Chenglong quickly calculated that the total cost was 2 level 11 crystals, and he figured he could sell it for 3 level 11 crystals. When he told Jin Hai the price, Jin Hai was somewhat surprised, but it was within their budget, so he readily agreed.
Li Chenglong placed the generators on the open ground in front of the city lord's mansion. As a gift, he also took out the remaining five first-generation crystal generators from his storage area, leaving them to do with them as they pleased.
After finishing this matter, Li Chenglong rushed to the training ground, where the superhuman squad had already assembled in an orderly manner. Looking at his subordinates, Zhou Jinqiang couldn't help but feel that although they had only received one afternoon of instruction from Li Chenglong, these people had already undergone considerable changes, and it could be said that the training had been quite effective.
The morning training was from 7:00 to 10:30. After that time, the weather became extremely hot. It wasn't that these superhumans couldn't withstand the temperature, but the training would be much less effective in this environment. Li Chenglong always pursued efficiency, and since dragging it out wouldn't be beneficial, he decided to let the soldiers rest earlier.
The Jin sisters didn't come to training today. Now that they are the lords of a city, they have many things to handle and can't stay at the training ground with them every day. Lunch was eaten in the canteen next to the training ground. Li Chenglong took a look and saw that although the conditions weren't great, the food for the superhuman squad was still of high quality.
