The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Sixty-Seven)

Ignoring the cold, Song Ning applauded loudly for Dr. Liao amidst the crowd, exclaiming, "This is truly incredible!"

It was like magic!

Even though he already knew from Lance that the crystal core fragments could replace energy, the base's research speed and achievements were still incredible to him!

Han Shuang and Wang Kang beside him were clapping their hands wildly, their eyes bloodshot. Even Wang Kang, who usually seemed a bit introverted, was waving his hands in the air and roaring with cheers.

"There's hope! Now we're all saved!"

Amidst the bustling crowd, Captain Man appeared to remain calm and maintain order. She stood ramrod straight, her gaze sweeping across the crowd before finally settling on Dr. Liao on the stage.

Those eyes, always filled with vigilance and scrutiny, now clearly reflected that slender figure, stirring a sense of pride and self-satisfaction within them.

This is her younger brother, and she feels proud and honored to have him!

After a brief moment of euphoria, Dr. Liao continued to explain their three current devices.

The crystal core battery can currently be used as a light source and a rechargeable battery. After the top switch is inserted into the crystal core fragment, the bottom cover has a regular socket.

"We have tested it, and the pre-apocalyptic electrical appliances can be plugged in and used. Currently, the power of a single crystal core fragment is about 240 kilowatt-hours. When the power is depleted, we only need to insert a new crystal core fragment to continue supplying power."

Dr. Liao also remarked with some emotion, "Moreover, you don't need to worry at all about the impact of the current extreme cold on electricity. These crystal fragments are unaffected by the extreme cold, which is what makes them so amazing."

This was obviously exciting news, but many people had a hint of regret on their faces. Who would have thought that electricity would be restored after the apocalypse? Most of their homes didn't have many electrical appliances, and even if they did, they weren't properly stored and were probably broken by now.

But a hint of surprise flashed across someone's face. Song Ning spotted it immediately—it was the two guys who had rented out e-readers before. He quickly realized what was going on.

Previously, these two guys' e-readers weren't easy to rent, but now that everyone has Crystal Core Batteries, they don't have to worry about business at all.

On another note, he should go back and rent those entertainment novels he was reluctant to rent before. He wonders if, now that he doesn't need his two friends to provide the power, the e-reader will be sold instead of rented.

The crystal core battery is only the size of a kerosene lamp, but its uses are already quite remarkable.

The intermediate-level device, the Crystal Core Sun, is equally exciting. Its ability to provide standard heating for 24 hours means that if everyone is a little more frugal, even in a larger space, they no longer need to worry about extremely cold weather. They can even take this Crystal Core Sun out to explore for resources, though that would be a bit too extravagant.

Dr. Liao explained the last device in a very simple way.

"As for this, the name is very simple and easy to understand. This is a crystal core charging station."

The audience was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "This is a crystal core charging station? So this crystal core fragment can still be recharged even after it's been used up?"

"My God, what an amazing thing this is!"

"Zombies actually carry such valuable items? How come we never noticed them before?"

"Can we exchange this crystal core charging station? We're too far from the base, it's really inconvenient to charge our devices."

Dr. Liao chuckled awkwardly, “These are not my responsibility. However, the base will set up a crystal core charging station in each of the four directions: east, south, west, and north. Each charging station will have four charging piles. You can choose to come and charge yourselves, or you can choose to pay a fee to exchange for new crystal core fragments.”

Dr. Liao's speech ended there. He left the stage without looking back. The audience tried to call him back, but Captain Man came up to maintain order.

She stated succinctly, "Regarding how to obtain and exchange crystal core fragments, the base has already set standards for three types of devices. Please make way."

As soon as she finished speaking, the patrol team members next to her carried over a dozen huge signs, with the prices clearly displayed on them.

sell:

One crystal core fragment = twenty corn tortillas

Crystal nucleus battery = twenty corn tortillas

Crystal nucleus mini-sun = fifty corn tortillas

Loan:

One crystal core fragment = one tortilla (maximum of two per household)

One crystalline core battery equals five corn tortillas (one per household).

One Crystal Core Mini Sun = 20 Cornbreads (one unit per household)

Crystal core charging station = 500 corn tortillas

The rental period is one month.

This price made many people gasp, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that the base was doing a great act of charity.

Although the rental fee requires tedious information registration at the base, it only costs twenty-seven cornbreads, which allows small families like Wang Kang to not only have a portable light source and power supply, but also a heating device. These costs are even a month's worth. How can you say that the base is not doing a great act of charity?

Wang Kang stared intently at the crystal core sun several times, rubbing his hands together and muttering to himself, "It can still be rented out. Renting is good. Twenty-seven cornbreads are enough to make me endure hunger. If I stay frozen any longer, I might really die."

Han Shuang had far more possessions than him, and without a second thought, she decided to buy a Crystal Core Mini Sun directly. As for the Crystal Core Fragments, she didn't even need to buy them.

Captain Man had already seen her and told her that she could go over and register to exchange the resources she had obtained from the missions she had participated in, with crystal core fragments being the top priority.

Han Shuang checked and found that she ranked third in terms of contribution among this group, so if all the resources she could exchange for were converted into crystal core fragments, she would have a total of five.

"Get rich, get rich!"

That's equivalent to a hundred corn tortillas! Han Shuang happily calculated in her heart, but immediately ran to ask Song Ning, reluctantly saying.

"Boss Song, how about I trade you one Crystal Core Little Sun? My contribution is just enough for me to exchange for two, one for you and one for me, it's a perfect match."

Song Ning had no intention of jeopardizing her possession of 364 crystal core fragments, and he still agreed to the deal proposed by Han Shuang.

Han Shuang cheered when he agreed and immediately ran off to exchange for the crystal core fragments and crystal core batteries. She was going to spend her own money to exchange for more crystal core fragments and crystal core batteries. Exchange, exchange, exchange!

She can't even imagine how happy and joyful she will become after having all these things!
