Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 39 Origin Stone Quality
Seven o'clock in the evening.

It was completely dark in the cold northern country of Ursas during this period of time. In addition, the black clouds left after the natural disaster completely blocked the moonlight.

[Reaper] The mercenary team has 9 people including ACE, plus members of the Glasgow Gang led by Wei Na, a group of 20 people walked carefully through the dark streets of Mandel City.

"Ouch."

Xia Feng accidentally stepped on a piece of gravel, he staggered and almost fell down.

Kate grabbed his arm from behind to steady him.

"Be careful with you."

Xia Feng looked depressed, this was already the fifth time he had wrestled tonight.

Indra and several gang members walked in the front to open the way, and ACE's [Reaper] team was in charge of the rear. Even though he was caught in a very safe middle position in the team, Xia Feng always had "accidents" and bumped into bumps along the way. .

Xia Feng showed Kate an apologetic smile, but even though he was very close to Kate, he still couldn't see her face clearly.

There is no way, he is also very helpless!

The gang members walking with Indra at the forefront of the team are basically Filin. Because of their racial characteristics, they can still see the outlines of the surrounding things clearly even in a dark environment, and Wei Na, who is Aslan, naturally It's also great at night vision.

Just kidding, the predation habits of big cats are nocturnal.

Although Kate and several other gang members of the Vajvan tribe do not have the super night vision of Indra, they cannot completely see the way. As for the [Reaper] team of ACE, everyone is equipped with Tactical goggles with night vision.

Looking at it this way, Xia Feng feels that he is the weakest player in the group, and he is the only real "blind man" in the whole team.

At this moment, he felt someone from behind gently tug on the corner of his clothes.

Turtle made a timid voice.

"Brother Xia Feng, don't go too fast. I... I can't see anything now, and I'm a little scared."

Xia Feng was so moved that he almost cried, it turned out that he was not the bottom one, and the little guy like Guigui also didn't have the ability to distinguish the environment at night.

Xia Feng grasped the little hand of the snake butcher box.

"It's okay, I'll pull you, I'm going to throw you and me together!"

"."

Wei Na stopped and handed a palm-sized square object to Xia Feng's hand.

"Xia Feng, you can use this."

Xia Feng was a little puzzled holding this thing.

"what is this?"

"This is a dim light. There is a switch on it. You can turn it on and try."

Xia Feng touched for a long time and found a small button on it.

"Crack!"

He pressed the switch, and the small square thing instantly emitted a milky white halo, illuminating the surrounding area about two or three meters away.

Xia Feng showed a joyful expression.

"Wow, that's a cool thing, but doesn't that give away our position?"

"No, the light source emitted by this kind of low-light light is very weak in transmission, and it will disappear completely after a certain distance. Unless the enemy is near us, we will never find it. Of course, if the enemy is nearby, it will be regarded as no light. It will also find us, so you can use it with confidence."

Xia Feng held the dim light high.

"It's amazing, who invented this thing, hey? Is there a battery in it? Will it run out of power in a while?"

Vera smiled.

"This kind of dim light will not go out even if it is turned on continuously for half a year, because it contains a B-level source stone!"

"I rely on!"

Hearing Wei Na's words, Xia Feng, who had already put the dim light on his head, almost threw the thing out.

Although he has worn a mask and taken medicine, he knows the danger of Origin Stone better than anyone else. Isn't he holding a bomb that detonated randomly?
Turtle held out his hand to him.

"Brother Feng, if you are afraid of contracting the ore disease, let me take it. Anyway, I am not afraid of the origin stone now."

Throwing this thing to the turtle because of fear?

Well, this is too embarrassing.

"It's okay, I'll take it, anyway, there will be a lot of origin stones in this city besides this broken lamp, I can't be so unlucky, hehe."

Xia Fengqiang pretended to be calm, but his fingers were already a little stiff.

Wei Na couldn't bear to see him like this.

"Xia Feng, you probably don't know the division of origin stone quality."

"Huh? There are quality divisions for origin stones, what is that?"

Seeing that Xia Feng really didn't understand, Wei Na sighed.

"Kate, explain to him."

"it is good."

It's terrible to be uneducated. Wei Na knows what's going on, but she can't express it in words. It seems that Kate, a guy with a suspected doctoral degree, is going to play again.

In Xia Feng's eyes, Kate is usually low-key, but combined with today's performance, Kate is really a practical man with both civil and military skills. No wonder Wei Na trusts him so much.

Kate cleared her throat.

"Let me explain. All over the world, the specifications of the finished Origin Stone are uniform. Each finished Origin Stone weighs 450 grams. All the machinery and equipment in the world are designed according to this specification."

This Xia Feng naturally understands. To put it bluntly, this is like the model of the battery. If you compare the mechanical equipment in the world to a four-wheel drive competition, then the model of your battery must be AA battery. No matter how powerful your power is, it's useless if you can't install it.

Seeing Xia Feng nodded in understanding, Kate continued.

"In addition to the specifications, the finished source stones are also divided into three grades, specifically B grade, A grade, and S grade, among which S grade represents the highest quality, commonly known as the purest source stone, which is grown after natural disasters The core part of the origin stone cluster is also the part with the highest energy concentration, S-level origin stones are very rare in the market, and only state agencies will use them on specific occasions."

Xia Feng nodded.

"What about A-level and B-level?"

"A-level source stones, also known as high-level source stones, are mainly composed of the outer parts of source stone clusters. Although the energy density is not as high as S-level source stones, they are still genuine source stones. They are generally used in heavy industrial equipment and large transportation tools. It is also a very precious existence. As for the B-level source stone, it is a kind of isolated substance during the processing of source stones. Although it also contains a small amount of source stone components, to be precise, it should be called artificial source stones , B-grade origin stones are widely used, such as civilian lighting, automobile fuel, heating and cooling, agricultural machinery, etc., and even some small and poor countries invest B-grade origin stones in weapon research and development.”

So it turns out, Xia Feng finally understood, no wonder the origin stones are so precious in this world, looking at the entire world of Terra, origin stones are indispensable in almost all fields.

"Kate, can I buy all these types of origin stones of different qualities?"

"No, S-level origin stones are things that are prohibited from being traded in the market around the world. In other words, the number of S-level origin stones owned by a country is equivalent to the strength of the country. Except for S-level origin stones, most countries have A-level source stones. Transactions of origin stones must be audited, and the final consumption method of origin stones must be recorded, of course, private transactions, such as ours, are not ruled out."

"What about the most common grade B?"

"There are no special restrictions on B-grade origin stones, as long as you have money, you can buy them at will. However, although there are many B-grade origin stones, their value is not affordable by ordinary people."

Xia Feng understood completely this time.

In a sense, the origin stone is equivalent to the oil in his original world, but this super energy is more extreme than the oil stone.

Regardless of the energy intensity contained in it or the degree of rarity, the origin stone is far superior to oil, and more importantly, the origin stone can also activate the origin stone technology that cannot be explained by the science of his original world.

Whether it is an S-level pure source stone, an A-level high-level source stone, or even a B-level source stone that is a by-product of the source stone, they are all treasures that people can fight for at any cost.

However, the energy in the origin stone is not endless, it will be consumed gradually with use, and natural disasters are the only way for all countries in the world to obtain the source stone replenishment.

In other words, if one day in the future, a person or a force controls the output of origin stones by some method, then he will control the world in disguise.
