Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 76 New Superpower

Although Zhang Xinyue calculated the device data, a new problem arose.

They have trouble calculating size, and from their perspective, it's hard to imagine how long 2 millimeters is.

The main reason is that their thinking is still solidified in the original worldview.

For example, one section of a human finger is about 2 centimeters, but this measurement method is obviously no longer available.

"It seems that we need to make a ruler. Moreover, for some precision devices, an ordinary ruler is not enough. We must use a vernier caliper with the same level of precision." Zhang Xinyue thought for a while and said.

Lu Yuning nodded: "Indeed, otherwise we can only rely on our feelings. What should we do with this thing in front of us?"

What Lu Yuning was referring to was naturally the steam device in front of him.

"Oh, this is a bit troublesome. I forgot about this." Zhang Xinyue was distressed.

Lu Yuning also frowned. The only thing that could be used as a measuring tool now was probably their own height.

However, although it has been said that it has been reduced by a hundred times, there is no way to determine how much it has actually been reduced. Every 10 times the size means a difference of one tenth in height.

"Otherwise, just use the height as the measurement and calculate proportionally by reducing it a hundred times." Lu Yuning gave a suggestion.

"That's fine. Currently, this device doesn't require high precision. However... this is always a problem. If I want to make more complex devices in the future, precision must be guaranteed." Zhang Xinyue thought for a while.

"Let's forget about it for now and get this water pump out first." Lu Yuning said.

Zhang Xinyue nodded and took action immediately.

According to this idea, Zhang Xinyue needs to use height as the measurement unit and draw a design drawing with a 1:1 ratio between the actual object and the illustration.

Lu Yuning only needs to make it according to the size of the design.

But you can't just lie on the ground to measure.

In the end, the two of them made a two-centimeter ruler based on their height.

The rest can only be left to Zhang Xinyue, which is a considerable workload.

Lu Yuning had no choice but to find something else to do first.

It just so happens that the mushrooms I brought back earlier have not been processed yet.

He decided to start making a drying rack.

However, he was a little hesitant about where to put the drying rack. It would be better to put it in the square where the light was better, but he still felt it was a bit conspicuous.

Ever since he learned of Starfire's existence, he had been somewhat concerned about the shelter's secrecy.

It always feels a bit uncomfortable to put up a conspicuous drying rack in the square like this.

So after thinking it over, he finally decided to put the drying rack on the tree trunk. Although the light was not particularly sufficient, he could process the mushrooms.

When people shrink, their field of vision is limited, so as long as things are placed higher, it will be difficult for people on the ground to see them.

The drying rack is not big and looks more like branches from a distance.

After choosing the location, he asked Wu Xiao and Zou Yunxin to get busy. The location was a bit high, and it was difficult for him to handle it alone.

After a busy period, the three of them finally got everything ready and set up a large drying rack in the air.

This thing reminded Lu Yuning that perhaps the base could be expanded upwards?
For example, how about building a platform on it?
With this thought in mind, Lu Yuning looked at the tree trunk and pondered.

The sky gradually darkened. We had originally planned to start the construction of the water system today, but in the end we had to put it on hold until Zhang Xinyue drew the proportional design drawings.

……

The next morning, Xu Qi came running over.

She looked a little excited, and when she saw Lu Yuning and Zhang Xinyue, she hurried forward.

"Some of us have awakened special powers!" Xu Qi went straight to the point.

Lu Yuning raised his eyebrows and became interested.

"Hmm? What ability is that?"

"I went back yesterday and told our people about Starfire and asked them what they thought."

"And then?" "When they first heard about this organization, most of them wanted to go, but after learning about the situation there, they started to object."

Lu Yuning had previously told Xu Qi about the situation at Xinghuo, and also explained the general situation there, including the treatment of the staff there. Apparently, Xu Qi had also told everyone in the pavilion about this.

However, he could guess the reaction of those in the shelter. After all, they were not to the point where they had no food or water. Xu Qi was so good to them here, so why should they go to Xinghuo to suffer?

"Uh-huh"

Lu Yuning nodded in response, but she was not actually interested in this. Instead, she was more concerned about the new person with superpowers she mentioned.

However, since Xu Qi was sharing this with him, he couldn't interrupt her directly.

"I took this opportunity to explain to them the management of the shelter. The general idea was to help them adapt to the conditions outside."

“Some of them disagree.”

"how do you know."

"Is there any need to ask... These guys have been asking for food for so long, no one would be willing to take risks." Lu Yuning muttered.

Xu Qi didn't hear his whisper and continued, "Just like you said, some people were unwilling, but after being scolded by you... before, I made up my mind to be a little ruthless to them. With Brother Chen's support, they finally compromised."

"Oh, as expected, these are bad habits." Lu Yuning sneered.

Although I don't know what Xu Qi said, it's nothing more than not providing them with food, water and other conditions, or throwing them out of the shelter to roam free. I think these guys won't dare to disobey again.

"Anyway, we finally sat together for the first time to plan future development. The results were unexpectedly good, and we discovered a lot of talents." Xu Qi said happily.

"So how did it develop after it was finally decided?" Zhang Xinyue was also attracted by her, put down the drawing work in her hands and joined the conversation.

"Well, first of all, let's follow Yu Ning's suggestion and build a bigger shelter." Xu Qi said.

"Well, what next?" Lu Yuning nodded.

"What then?"

"Superpowers, didn't you say you discovered a new person with superpowers?" Lu Yuning reminded.

"Oh, so this is all you care about." Xu Qi muttered.

Then he continued, "Speaking of shelters, we have to think about the construction. Although Brother Chen is incredibly strong, he's obviously still not very good at handling bamboo. Finally, at my reminder, everyone tried to see if they had awakened their special abilities."

Lu Yuning didn't say anything, waiting for Xu Qi to continue.

"I didn't expect that someone really awakened, and there were two of them!" Xu Qi was a little excited.

Lu Yuning paused and asked, "Two?"

"Well, one of them seems to be able to make objects lighter."

"Become lighter?" Zhang Xinyue was a little confused.

"Well, isn't it amazing?" Xu Qi looked somewhat happy. It was obvious that this ability was very useful to them.

"Quality control?" Lu Yuning looked at Zhang Xinyue, obviously having some doubts.

Zhang Xinyue nodded: "Possibly."

"Can it only become lighter?" Lu Yuning hurriedly asked Xu Qi.

"Well, when you use the supernatural power, the object will become lighter and then recover." Xu Qi replied.

Lu Yuning nodded: "Good ability"

"Right, you know the other psychic, the one who helped take care of Lele before, Xu Ting." Hearing Lu Yuning's affirmation, Xu Qi was obviously happy for a moment, and then introduced the other psychic.

Lu Yuning thought about it and seemed to have some impression of him. He had seen him in the pavilion when Xu Qi had a cold before, and he had a good impression of him.

"Her ability seems to be softening." Xu Qi continued after seeing him nod.

"Oh, soften. Soften!?" Lu Yuning suddenly reacted, his eyes showing shock.
