Under Bona's guidance, Lu Heng learned to control the personal transport device beneath his feet.
Lu Heng learned quickly; the operation of this device was quite similar to that of a balance scooter.
However, the manufacturing and technical principles behind it were likely not as easy to grasp.
This transport device moved Lu Heng flexibly according to his thoughts, relying on the sensation of restraint around his waist and commands from his mind to move forward.
When encountering elevated platforms ahead, it automatically adjusted their horizontal position.
If a turn was needed, as soon as Lu Heng's subconscious formed the intention, it had already guided him around the obstacle.
"This thing is truly convenient. What's the maximum altitude it can reach?"
If everyone in the base were equipped with one, they wouldn't need aircraft for external operations.
"According to the conversions here, it's about five hundred meters."
"Right, you also know that Earth's technology is indeed very backward compared to yours. We've always had issues with energy, and our current batteries for storing electrical energy not only have short lifespans but are also not durable."
He paused, then looked at the metal piece around his waist. "If your energy technology could be provided to humanity, it would be a new technological revolution for Blue Star."
"It's not that our technology cannot be disclosed to humans, but with your current level of understanding, even if all of this were placed before you, you would merely be users," Bona replied, turning his head to look at Lu Heng.
"Yes, that's true. However, with this long-lasting electrical energy, it could truly help humanity overcome this current predicament."
Since the apocalypse began, global production had been in a state of paralysis. Almost all the shelters built by humans lacked long-term energy sources.
At this moment, most people had diesel generators, but with the shortage of fuel, the resources they could use for power generation would become increasingly scarce.
Of course, Lu Heng's Nameless City was an exception. The fuel in his spatial storage was abundant, allowing for indefinite use without restraint.
"You can find people to learn our language and culture first. Afterwards, I can provide you with some energy. However, our energy is not like your simple electrical storage devices; it is a power generation body itself. If directly applied to your equipment, your devices would not withstand its high load and would explode."
"Understood. These will definitely require some conversion. Our products cannot be directly connected to such high-energy bodies."
There needed to be a technological bridge; direct use was impossible. Lu Heng understood this. Technology is not simply copied and pasted.
For humanity to break through, they also needed to strive. Technology is not achieved overnight; it requires the exploration of many people.
However, since these aliens were not stingy and were willing to let humans research their technology, Lu Heng was already very content.
After reaching a certain consensus, Lu Heng felt much more relaxed. Bona took him to see many places, though Lu Heng didn't expect to be shown any crucial locations.
He assumed that some core technologies or secrets would not be revealed to him.
Estimating the time, Lu Heng noticed no sign of nightfall. "Why is there no night here? Do you not need rest?"
Lu Heng had also discovered a region without night in his spatial storage.
"We are indeed different from humans. We do not require night for rest, and our days are longer than here. It is not yet our rest time."
After visiting for a few hours, Lu Heng left again. As he departed, Bona gave him an energy unit.
To the touch, it did not exhibit the heat characteristic of fusion cores in some movies, which cannot be touched directly.
And with humanity's current understanding, they could not comprehend the specific principles of this object.
Upon returning to the base, Lu Heng first went into his spatial storage to rest.
He had stayed with Bona for over twenty hours. Although he didn't feel particularly tired with his current physique,
he still chose to obey his body's needs, as he was accustomed to rest.
After waking up again, Lu Heng went to the research center.
At this moment, many of Chen Dong's research projects had not made significant progress, but there had been some breakthroughs in the research on the Level 9 zombie Lu Heng had brought back.
This was partly because it was a living zombie, and this zombie was quite cooperative. Chen Dong would sometimes chat with the zombie, hoping to glean any special insights from its evolution to this level.
"City Lord Lu, you've arrived."
"Yes, I have some things to give you. Find some linguistics experts, and also bring those people I brought back from the aviation base."
"Alright, I also have some matters to report to you," Chen Dong said to his assistant, who nodded and quickly departed.
"What is it? For base matters, report to City Lord Lin. I'm not always in Nameless City."
"I've already spoken with City Lord Lin. It's about that Level 9 zombie."
"Oh? What about it?"
"We've discovered some cellular tissues in its cells that are different from other zombies."
"Those cellular tissues are very active..." With Lu Heng's approval, Chen Dong began to explain in detail after entering a room.
While the reason was not yet understood, the cellular tissues of that Level 9 zombie were indeed different. Its cells had regained vitality, so his father's previous plan to have this zombie reproduce might actually be feasible.
Hearing this, Lu Heng also became interested.
"Its functions have also recovered?"
"Cough... there's a flicker of consciousness," Chen Dong said, feeling a bit embarrassed, his face even flushing slightly.
"How did you test it?"
"We, we didn't test it. We just discovered some differences while researching its cells, and then we performed a full-body scan on it..."
Just as Chen Dong was awkwardly unsure how to continue the topic, the knocking at the door saved him.
"Come in."
"City Lord Lu, Director Chen, everyone has been called. Should we let them in?"
Lu Heng looked at Chen Dong's flushed face and found it amusing. He quickly helped Chen Dong alleviate the awkwardness. "Let them in."
Then, a group of people poured into the conference room.
