Chapter 166: Would It Even Be a Rabbit If It Didn't Exploit Bugs? (Part 1)
Compared to the relatively 'light pack simplicity' when heading to Xiaolianzi Mountain, the process of the troops returning to the camp was evidently much more troublesome.
Firstly, the returning troops carried a large number of live double-headed bulls and nearly equal amount of demon beast remains, resulting in a load that was about two orders of magnitude heavier than when they came.
Considering that Luo Xiaotai and his team might take a long time to transport the demon beast remains, the rabbits specifically moved the area for temporarily storing the double-headed bulls to the shaded southern side, twelve kilometers away.
With a main peak of over 800 meters and more than a dozen medium and small peaks blocking the view, it wasn't particularly conspicuous.
According to the plan, all demon beast remains are expected to be transported back to the camp within five round trips.
Well, if we don't consider overloading in the Damo Realm, four trips shouldn't be difficult—after all, there's no such thing as ride experience for remains.
As for the other difficulty of the return journey, it is no longer nighttime in the Damo Realm.
Although the route devised by the rabbits is very concealed, theoretically the nearest city along the way is still twenty kilometers away.
But that is merely the point-to-line distance on the map.
Once daylight comes, the range of human activities increases significantly, including searching for wild medicinal herbs and treasures, hunting game, having a skirmish battle, etc...
No one can be certain whether someone might approach the route the rabbits are taking.
Therefore, as the scouts for the rabbits, the task of Bo Binghui's reconnaissance team is extremely challenging.
The final point is the issue of track marks left by heavy-duty vehicles — most roads in the Damo Realm are made of yellow earth or crushed stone, which pose no problems for ordinary carts and horses to traverse.
But when a hundred-ton vehicle rolls over them, it is certain to leave track marks.
So the task of the logistics support unit is also not light, requiring them to clean up and erase traces along the way.
Of course.
In terms of the rabbits' capabilities, these issues are at most troublesome and far from unsolvable.
Seven hours later.
An advance unit led by Lin Ziming returned to Fire Camp, transporting the most important third-grade demon beast remains samples to the Plant Biology Laboratory.
Subsequently, these samples were divided into two parts.
One part was left at the Life Experiment Base, while the other was urgently escorted by Lin Ziming back to Modu for research.
After all, in terms of comprehensive equipment for scientific research, domestically it is certainly superior to the Life Experiment Base.
Another half day passed, the main troops of the double-headed bull capture operation gradually returned.
This included dozens of WS51200 off-road transport vehicles loaded with double-headed bulls.
The tracks of these heavy-duty vehicles were mainly erased using a carbon tetrachloride solution of non-polar hydrocarbon chains, with the assistance of an eight-ton portable heavy pressure field device, allowing the road to be restored to a flat state in just five minutes.
Bridge building and road repair, this is indeed our traditional skill.
According to the plan, these double-headed bulls will then be transported to a temporary settlement near the military base.
Among them, a few second-grade double-headed bulls will be housed in high-strength alloy chambers, while the first-grade and non-grade double-headed bulls will be collectively penned, awaiting subsequent breeding optimization and related research.
Once the universal information of this species is clarified, the rabbits will carry out the next step of arrangements for them.
As for the specific post-war statistics of this operation, we need to wait for the full return of the troops for a more detailed report.
And at the same time as the soldiers of the troops were returning one after another.
Inside Fire Camp.
The camp leaders who had completed the combat deployment task were now gathered on a flat ground outside the valley.
At this moment, a large open area had been cleared on this flat ground, with a diameter of over three hundred meters.
This ground appears to have been subjected to some special pavement treatment methods, making it much smoother and flatter compared to other areas, with no visible tiny protrusions anywhere.
On the far left of the ground, there was a height-enhanced new-energy electric vehicle parked — you can fill in the brand yourself, but it's definitely not a 'T'-starting brand.
Special warrior Liu Ming was standing in the height-enhanced and reinforced area on the roof of the car at a distance of about three to four meters above the ground.
Liu Ming was one of the second batch to be detected as one of the four Spiritual Root warriors, with qualifications that weren't particularly outstanding but better than ordinary people.
However, he showed excellent performance in the subsequent Awakening and Qi Introduction stages of cultivation, entering First-Layer Qi Cultivation ahead of quite a few three-Spiritual Root troops warriors.
From a realm perspective, he is in the first tier currently within the camp.
As such, the camp often has various tasks that need his assistance, making him a standard tool person.
When Lin Ziming went to Modu to test the storage pouch, he brought Liu Ming and another warrior, Zhang Xin, along.
Liu Ming was now tightly gripping a storage pouch, preparing to coordinate with the physics team for a particular test.
A very important test.
While not far from Liu Ming at the operation desk, Zeng Gu Cheng stood side by side with two men.
The middle-aged man on the left appeared somewhat older, around fifty or so, with a kind face and bright eyes, a tuft of bangs slanted across his forehead from left to right, wearing a pair of brown-framed glasses.
The man on the right looked younger, probably in his early thirties, somewhat thin, with a buzz cut and golden wire glasses on the bridge of his nose.
These two are currently the top team in Huaxia, and arguably in the world, in the field of quantum information — Professor Pan Jianwei and Professor Lu Chaoyang from the University of Science and Technology of China.
How impressive are these two?
To put it simply.
Whenever international discussions bring up China's quantum information research, they inevitably mention, and sometimes exclusively mention, these two.
Back when they developed the Jiuzhang computer, a certain Fang family name got involved with numerous domestic amateurs attempting to smear the two, while paradoxically foreign Nobel Prize peers took pity on Academician Pan, which was rather amusing.
Of course, Academician Tu Chuan Yi is not included in this list.
Although he also denied Jiuzhang, he denied all quantum computers both domestic and foreign, because he believes that currently, domestic and foreign experimentation only involves entangled states and superposition states, and that entangled states have nothing to do with quantum computing.
This is a theoretical dissent, not a case of blackening for the sake of it.
In a nutshell.
With the team led by Pan and Lu arriving in the Damo Realm, the rabbits' research capacity in physics has almost doubled.
Even surpassing the research standards of the Plant Biology Laboratory.
Returning the focus to the flat ground.
After everything was ready, Zeng Gu Cheng spoke to the driver of the new-energy vehicle through the intercom:
"Driver Sun, you can start."
"Comrade Liu Ming, get ready!"
Upon receiving the command, the driver waved his hand at Liu Ming and then started the vehicle.
Under normal circumstances, the speed of electric vehicles that aren't hybrid might not be very fast, but this new-energy vehicle modified by the rabbits clearly didn't fall into that category.
After a brief startup acceleration, it quickly reached a speed of ninety kilometers per hour!
Liu Ming tightly gripped the storage pouch, held his breath and focused, staring at a padded area on the vehicle's path.
The vehicle was getting closer and closer to the pad.
Finally, at the moment the vehicle moved over the pad.
Liu Ming infused mana into the storage pouch, then turned the pouch opening downward, and a ping-pong ball emerged from it.
In the next second, the vehicle swiftly drove away from the area and then slowed down to a halt.
The ping-pong ball dropped directly onto the pad.
Beep beep beep—
A series of precise data was quickly compiled and analyzed, including some numbers with up to seven or eight decimal places.
Five minutes later, Zhuo Yuanxin, sitting at the console, held a form in hand and reported to Zeng Gu Cheng:
"Teacher, according to the footage captured by our ultra-high-speed camera, the ping-pong ball was completely still at the moment it left the spatial bag!
Then it underwent a standard free-fall motion without possessing the kinetic energy of the vehicle's movement direction.
Moreover, our siota-grade sensing pad confirmed this, subtracting the 0.000436 standard displacement units of wind power factor, the sensing pad detected only vertical kinetic energy, meaning the ping-pong ball didn't perform projectile motion."
Little-known fact.
When an object is dropped vertically from a moving person under non-vacuum conditions, it will acquire an initial velocity matching the direction of motion.
If the object is not too heavy, it will undoubtedly create a parabolic motion.
Once the linear direction's speed is fast enough and the height is sufficiently high, not even heavy objects can avoid this situation—such as bombs dropped by bombers.
However, in Liu Ming's earlier experiment, that ping-pong ball performed a vertical free-fall motion instead!
The wind impact is virtually negligible, as the concept of 0.000436 standard displacement units means a deviation of 6.2 meters over a length of ten thousand meters, which is practically an ignorable margin.
This means that the object inside the storage pouch is completely isolated from the outside, lacking the kinetic energy that matches the external environment.
And in reality, the problems exposed by this experiment aren't limited to just this...
