Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 54 Combat Power

The biggest difference between the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Qi Condensation Stage is that the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can fly in the air with the help of tools.

There is a huge difference between being able to fly and not being able to fly.

In view of this, Xie Shen’s top priority is to find a way to refine a flying sword for himself.

Since he could make requests at will, Xie Shen said to Li Xiu, "I want about 1000 grams of refined metal, and the higher the purity, the better. Isn't this easy?"

"Not difficult." Li Xiu said expressionlessly, "What specific metals do you need? Gold, silver, copper, iron? Or titanium?"

Gold, silver, copper and iron are all very common metals.

As for titanium, it is a metal widely used in the aerospace industry, so it was also mentioned by Li Xiu.

Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "I want silver, nickel, and lead. And the ratio should be 3:4:3."

Li Xiu is very smart.

After hearing what Xie Shen said, he said thoughtfully: "The silver, nickel, and lead you want are all metals with strong electrical and thermal conductivity."

"To put it bluntly, it means that the energy is transferred quickly with little loss."

"So I guess."

At this point, Li Xiu's eyes suddenly flashed with enthusiasm: "Do you want these metals to use them to refine magical instruments?"

"Yeah." Seeing that Li Xiu hit the nail on the head, Xie Shen simply admitted generously: "I plan to refine a flying sword to use for self-defense."

"Then your combination is quite reasonable." Li Xiu took over the conversation and said: "Silver, lead and nickel with higher purity, in addition to excellent energy transmission performance, the lead also has higher toughness and ductility, and the nickel alloy has higher strength than steel."

"Although I have never seen a flying sword, I can tell from my imagination that mixing these three metals together is indeed the best choice for refining magical instruments."

"only"

At this point, Li Xiu suddenly changed the subject and said, "The 3:4:3 ratio you just mentioned is probably not the optimal ratio for refining equipment."

“This ratio can be further optimized.”

He said, "If you don't mind, why don't you tell me the method of refining the flying sword? I'll see if I can help you improve it."

"This"

If Li Xiu can really optimize the ratio, then the quality of the flying sword will definitely be taken to a higher level.

Therefore, Xie Shen couldn't find any reason to refuse.

He took the bait and said, "Okay, I'll teach you how to make a flying sword later, but you have to promise me that you will make a better quality flying sword for me, is that okay?"

"No problem!" Li Xiu was obviously lucky to get Xie Shen's flying sword refining method, so he responded readily.

Of course, Xie Shen didn’t lose out either.

The two achieved a win-win situation.

In the laboratory.

After reaching an agreement with Xie Shen, Li Xiu continued, "Our operation this time is a joint effort of Heaven and Tiangong Space Station. It is on a large scale. In addition, you are the team leader, so in order to better arrange the tactics, I need your cooperation to measure various aspects of your physical fitness."

This request is reasonable.

Xie Shen nodded and said, "Okay, where should we start testing first?"

"Just power."

Li Xiu took out a tensioner from the laboratory and handed it to Xie Shen, saying, "This is specially used to measure the values ​​of modified people. Ordinary people can't pull it at all, but I think you should have no problem."

Xie Shen didn't waste any words.

He took the puller, then mobilized the spiritual power in his body to strengthen himself, directly using nearly 70% of his strength.

next second.

The value '500' was displayed on the tensioner.

"500kg?"

Li Xiu said expressionlessly: "I am quite surprised. After all, even if it is a cyborg, the pulling force is only 700kg."

It was normal that Xie Shen was not as strong as the cyborgs. After all, cultivators relied on a variety of means rather than simple numbers.

After measuring strength, the next step is speed.

According to the data provided by Li Xiu:
When adults take part in a 50-meter race, those with better results can run it in less than 7 seconds.

The performance of the cyborgs is mostly between 7 and 9 seconds.

For some places that have added a gravity module, it may even take 10 seconds or longer.

In contrast.

Xie Shen's result was very exaggerated. He only used about 5.6% of his strength and ran a record of seconds.

Next is the reaction speed.

In this respect, cyborgs are no match for normal humans.

The reaction speed of a normal adult male is 300 milliseconds, while that of a cyborg is often above 400-500 milliseconds.

In comparison, Xie Shen completed the reaction test in less than 200 milliseconds.

After conducting a series of physical fitness tests, Li Xiu finally concluded.

"Here is a formula for calculating personal combat effectiveness. It was determined by Tiangong and the Heavenly Space Station after discussion."

"The formula is quite complicated, so I'll just state the conclusion directly."

Li Xiu said calmly: "The combat power of an adult male is about 5-6."

"Then the combat power of the cyborg with the power module installed can reach about 63 points."

"As for you"

"After the not-so-accurate test just now, I calculated that you have about 79 points of combat power."

"And that's without you using a weapon."

Li Xiu emphasized: "Although the combat effectiveness of the cyborgs equipped with power modules is high, they are not suitable for using weapons such as firearms."

"You are different."

"You have a great advantage over cyborgs in terms of speed, explosiveness, and reaction speed, so whether it's a firearm or a cold weapon, in your hands they can produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2."

"Considering this aspect, I plan to increase your combat power to 89 points and then announce it."

"what do you think?"

"Do you want to announce it?" Xie Shen frowned when he heard it.

Li Xiu explained: "I know you want to keep a low profile."

"But being low-key means being ignored."

"If you are not valued, the space station will not give priority to you in allocating resources."

"Besides, you are the leader of this operation. Without that 89 points of combat power, do you think you can intimidate the other cyborgs? Do you think they will listen to you?"

If you stand out appropriately, you can gain more resources for yourself.

Xie Shen naturally understood this principle, so he agreed: "Okay then, based on my combat power of 89 points, I will publish my identity information, but don't tell anyone else about the rest."

"That's for sure." Li Xiu responded and took out a monocle from the laboratory table.

He introduced: "This is a high-speed camera with zirconium metal. It can roughly calculate the combat effectiveness of the target creature based on its movement speed, reaction speed, instantaneous explosive power, and ability to resist air resistance when running."

“It’s not very accurate, but it can give you a reference.”

"And because the lens is mixed with a small amount of zirconium metal, it also allows you to see the black fog directly with your naked eyes."

"Give it to you."

Li Xiu handed the monocle to Xie Shen and said, "I developed this. I also really like watching Dragon Ball, so I just called this lens the 'combat power detector'."
