Mobile Shelter

Chapter 52 Departure

Just as Dong Qi was about to leave, he suddenly noticed someone approaching.

Before the man could even get close, he took the initiative to speak: "Hello, my name is Wu Yifei. Supervisor Peng arranged for me to come here, mainly to verify the combat effectiveness of the Thunder Dragon Electromagnetic Cannon."

After speaking, the other party handed the folder to Dong Qi. Dong Qi took the folder and opened it directly. He saw that there were more than twenty test items inside, and each test item was clearly marked with the specific number of tests.

Based on the total number of tests, it was found that Peng Qi was not lying to him. If all the tests were completed, Dong Qi could indeed obtain more than 100,000 merit points.

However, some test items are not only simple, but can also complete multiple items at the same time with one shot. For example, the charging time before shooting, the maximum range, and the attack effect can all be completed at the same time with one shot.

However, some tests are more complicated, such as conducting overload firing immediately before the electromagnetic railgun has fully cooled down, and putting the electromagnetic railgun under extreme pressure.

Dong Qi pointed to the test items that could damage the electromagnetic gun and asked Wu Yifei directly, "If the electromagnetic gun is damaged during the testing of these items, who will bear the repair costs?"

Perhaps Wu Yifei had already anticipated that Dong Qi would ask about this before he arrived, so he immediately gave an answer after hearing Dong Qi's question:

"Throughout the entire practical verification process, the test items that could damage the electromagnetic railgun have been marked on the inspection sheet. All repair costs for any damage to the electromagnetic railgun that occurred during these verification processes will be borne by the research institute."

However, in the event of unforeseen circumstances during actual combat testing, such as damage to the electromagnetic railgun during non-standard testing phases, you will only be responsible for the cost of all materials consumed during the repair process; the research institute will waive the labor costs for repairs.

Hearing that the other party's answer was quite reasonable, Dong Qi did not raise any questions.

After seeing that Dong Qi agreed with his answer, Wu Yifei continued, "During the entire practical verification process, the research institute can provide free accommodation, but not meals."

If you choose to have your meals provided by the research institute, you can purchase them at the cafeteria. The institute's supplies are much cheaper than outside, but there will be a daily purchase limit to prevent you from reselling supplies.

Wu Yifei then handed Dong Qi something that resembled a cell phone before saying, "This is a mid-range communicator manufactured by the research institute. It has a wide communication range. I'll lend it to you temporarily during this mission."

My contact number is already saved here. Once you're settled in, please contact me beforehand so we can begin the practical testing of the electromagnetic railgun as soon as possible.

After saying that, Wu Yifei was about to turn around and leave. He had only taken a few steps when, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around again and said, "I advise you not to think about leaving here directly."

To be honest, all the equipment installed on your car has a tracking device inside. If you escape before repaying your merit points, you will be put on the wanted list and hunted down by the people who gave you the mission.

At that time, not only you, but also the person who vouched for you, will be severely punished.

I hope you're a smart person and won't do anything foolish.

In fact, Dong Qi didn't feel much psychological pressure after hearing that he was burdened with so much debt.

After all, as the old saying goes: "Many lice don't itch, many debts don't worry."

Furthermore, the heavier the debt one carries, the more the debt collectors will pray for one's health and safety. After all, if one is alive, at most it is just a matter of owing debt. Although it takes a long time to pay it off, one can still gain something in the end.

But if you die, then the debt is wiped out, and no one can make up for the losses suffered by the other party.

Furthermore, besides being unable to refuse Captain Gao's request, I actually had another purpose in coming here this time.

The most important thing is to find an opportunity to refine a few large ships. After all, if those long-distance ships can be refined, each one can provide Dong Qi with a large amount of metal alloys.

Secondly, I wanted to try it out. Since killing Awakened Ones could yield unknown energy, could hunting those mutated marine creatures that invaded the land also yield unknown energy?

If possible, Dong Qi has found another channel to obtain unknown energy, and based on the number of mutated marine creatures appearing every day, this channel is currently quite stable.

Even if the amount of unknown energy obtained after hunting those mutated marine creatures is small, in the current situation, it can still be considered a relatively good way to gain something by accumulating little by little.

But then again, before I came here, didn't Captain Gao of the investigation team promise to take care of my supplies after I arrived?

Not only are they not providing any survival supplies, but they are also not reimbursing the fuel they spent traveling here.

Although he knew that the other party should have arrived here by now, Dong Qi could not go there specifically to ask for supplies.

Fortunately, I was smart enough to prepare a bag of supplies in advance just in case, although it could only meet my needs for ten days.

But there's always a way out. In ten days, I'm sure I'll be able to adapt to life here.

Also, if nothing unexpected happens, Wu Yifei should be able to accompany the vehicle tomorrow for the live-fire test of the electromagnetic railgun.

Therefore, the original plan to make the storage battery compatible with the vehicle battery will have to be put on hold for the time being, since some tests in the test project require the storage battery for auxiliary verification.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it anymore. It's better to leave here first.

Afterwards, we can go to the coastal battlefield to see the specific situation there. Based on what we've heard on the radio, it seems that the Great Xia side still holds an absolute advantage in all aspects, except for the inability to penetrate deep into the sea to launch a counterattack.

In that case, we can now go and try to kill the mutated marine creature to see if we can obtain the unknown energy needed for the manifestation of thought after killing it.

With that in mind, Dong Qi no longer hesitated and drove away from the research institute.

However, when Dong Qi left, he did not notice that after Peng Qi left the test site, he did not go far away from there. Instead, he stood at the window and kept observing Dong Qi.

Peng Qi didn't tell anyone that he had also gained superpowers and was an awakened being.

At this point, unless the awakened ability causes a physical mutation, it is difficult for others to discover the awakened person's identity as long as they do not use their ability.

Peng Qi's awakened ability is somewhat special. In order to improve his ability, he pushed the research institute to set up a temporary research institute at the port and took the initiative to be responsible for connecting with all the awakened people who came.
