"King Kong's metal frame is active, and its properties such as extension, alloying, and exchange are all consistent with metals in some way. It alloys metal materials very quickly, while it alloys non-metallic materials very slowly."
"Groundworms, big-toothed rats, and toothed wolves are active, and the active cores show signs of gradual transition to metal."
"The active core is the bone structure. Bones contain calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron and other metal elements, among which the metal calcium has the highest content. Moreover, metal elements are indispensable elements in the bodies of animals and humans."
"Activity seems to exist in the form of electromagnetic radiation, and at the same time it seems to be radioactive. Except for radon and astatine, most of the radioactive elements in nature are metals. But radon is formed by the decay of the radioactive metal radium, and after decay, it becomes a radioactive metal Polonium. Astatine has metallic properties, which are obtained by the decay of radioactive metal francium, and eventually decay into metallic lead... "
This is information researched by Shen Cong and recorded in computer files.
However, the problem returned to its original point. When he first came into contact with activity, he speculated that activity was related to metals.
After going in a circle, it seems that a lot of information has been obtained, but in fact it still has not touched the essence of activity - is the meteor shower related to activity, and if so, what is the connection
No clue from research.
Shen Cong decisively suppressed this thought that seemed to have reached a dead end.
Continue to toss the mouse: "It is certain that although the signs of mutation are relatively weak, this rabbit is indeed a mutant, but where is its active core?"
Shen Cong frowned and thought.
The reason why he was anxious to find the active core was because he could not find the active core in himself, nor in the King Kong.
This is the difference between him and mutant creatures such as digging insects, big-toothed rats, and toothed wolves.
It stands to reason that humans are also animals. Apart from their big brains, they are essentially the same as wild beasts. Then animals are mutated and have active cores, and humans should not be an exception.
"Should I dissect the rabbit and see if there's an active core inside?"
The thought whirled around and then receded. Shen Cong had not really killed the rabbit.
After finally catching a living mutated monster, you can't kill it casually before draining out the remaining value.
After thinking for a while, Shen Cong typed out a line of text on his notebook: "Plastic Rabbit, a mutated leporid animal. The signs of mutation are not obvious. The active core has not yet appeared. It eats meat and has records of eating plastic. The specific characteristics need to be observed."
Unable to learn more in a short time, Shen Cong put the plastic rabbit into a cage and threw it aside.
Then start a new round of active guidance to repair the King Kong.
…
Another week passed.
This period of time was spent in peace, with no storms or sandstorms. There was no attack from mutated monsters, and there was no sign of any living creatures.
Six hours a day are spent sleeping.
Nine hours were spent repairing the King Kong.
Three hours to learn radio knowledge.
Two hours were spent exercising and practicing slingshots.
Two hours are used for eating, reading novels, watching movies, etc.
An hour is spent surveying the surrounding geographical environment.
One hour left to study the plastic rabbit.
The schedule of work and rest is very compact, and Shen Cong's execution ability is also very good. Even in the end of the world, he still has strong self-discipline.
After a week and a half of continuous repairs, the main frame structure of the King Kong was completely restored to its original state, and the steel spikes on the external armor were re-erected. Just looking at the surface, the King Kong has returned to the doomsday chariot with streamlined armor and domineering power, giving people an infinite sense of security.
But in fact, the King Kong is still a showpiece, and its internal circuit system and electronic components are still in a shutdown state.
Shen Cong estimated that it would take four or five days to completely repair the power system.
Fortunately, he had replenished fresh water before and could stay here for a long time.
The 15a radar has also been repaired and rotates on the roof of the car to detect the movements around it. Shen Cong put on the Optimus Prime 1.o active armor several times, and took on active pistols, hand crossbows, fang daggers and other weapons, and carefully patrolled the distance. They walked as far as one kilometer away, but found nothing.
While patrolling, Shen Cong placed three hunting traps on the ground and used rotten wolf meat as bait.
The uneatable wolf meat had begun to rot. Shen Cong stayed away from rotten food. Apart from throwing it to the plastic rabbits to feed, the rest was dug and buried. Making bait was just waste.
I look forward to being able to trade the old ones for new ones and capture other mutated monsters so that I can have fresh meat to eat.
However, to Shen Cong's disappointment, except for the plastic rabbit attracted by the Nutrient Express bottle, there seemed to be no mutant monsters nearby, only a bunch of flies surrounding the rotten wolf meat bait.
"The cockroaches have mutated. Are flies also mutated monsters?"
Shen Cong caught a few flies and came back to study them, but was disappointed. The flies were just ordinary flies with no activity on their bodies and were not mutant animals.
But at least it gave Shen Cong a useful piece of information - not all creatures have mutated.
Then he put forward another idea: "Then, if we continue to feed flies with active meat, can we mutate the flies?"
Thinking of this, Shen Cong immediately started researching with great interest.
The active content of the rotten wolf meat was almost gone, so he took out a piece of the big wolf meat that had not yet rotted but was about to rot, and threw it into the gauze cover containing flies, which contained 5 greenheads. fly.
Then I stopped paying attention to it. It was very difficult to make the activity grow, let alone mutate. After feeding the plastic rabbits with Yalang carrion for a week, the activity intensity of the plastic rabbit powder only increased a little, but the effect was not obvious. He also had this feeling from himself and from the King Kong. Increased activity was not something that happened overnight.
It takes a lot of time to complete the process of change.
…
Today is July 22nd.
The end of the meteor shower was on May 18, two months and four days after the end. The total amount of activity exchanged from King Kong, including the activity ingested by eating mutated meat, is very limited. The activity of King Kong has never even completed the 100% alloy of the body.
Activity suddenly appeared with the end of the world. He didn't meet other survivors to exchange information, and he didn't have enough reference objects. Shen Cong didn't know whether his control and absorption of activity was fast or slow.
However, Shen Cong doesn't feel much pressure from the bottom of his heart when it comes to mastering activity. As a human being with outstanding intelligence, he is still on the edge of groping. How can those monsters with low IQ and driven by instinct surpass his ability to master activity? understanding.
Besides, he still has the King Kong.
Big-toothed rats, toothed wolves, digging bugs, and plastic rabbits cannot even pose a slight threat to the King Kong.
Even in the rainstorm water, the monster that was suspected of being a prehistoric crocodile could not completely break through the armor of the King Kong. Of course, the suspected prehistoric crocodile still left a trace of haze on Shen Cong. This prehistoric crocodile should be Mutated from ordinary crocodiles.
A crocodile can mutate into a behemoth like a prehistoric giant crocodile, so if an elephant mutates, wouldn't it be possible to mutate into a mammoth or even a giant dinosaur-level monster
An elephant weighs about 3 to 5 tons, and a mammoth can weigh 12 tons. If the elephant mutates into the mammoth level, although it is difficult to say that it can push the 30-ton King Kong flying, it will really explode with impact and hit it. It's still possible. This is enough to pose a threat to the King Kong.
"Fortunately, elephants are all in Yunnan and Southeast Asia. There are basically no elephants in Anhui Province... There are more cattle breeders. There is also a Siberian tiger breeding base in Tongling... "
Thinking a little too far ahead.
Suppressing these somewhat unfounded thoughts, Shen Cong added another piece of big-toothed rat meat to the plastic rabbit, and placed the white mouse and fly in the corner.
Then I made lunch for myself and fried a piece of rat steak.
The meat of the big-toothed rat is not delicate enough and has a rough texture, but the taste is not bad, a bit like small pork.
After lunch, there was an hour's rest. Usually he would watch movies, but today he didn't want to watch a movie, so he turned on the music and prepared to modify his weapons.
Slingshots, hand crossbows, bows and arrows, pistols, and high-pressure air guns are Shen Cong's most powerful long-range weapons. He will also make soil bombs when necessary. Daggers, spurs, iron forks, machetes, axes, nunchakus, Shen Cong is also short of short-range weapons.
Shen Cong was full of confidence in his own firepower suppression.
But that was before he met the prehistoric giant crocodile. The appearance of the prehistoric giant crocodile made Shen Chongming understand that he was still a little too naive. The mutated animals might not be as masterful as him, but the physical advantage was too obvious. Although the probability of encountering such a dangerous mutated animal is relatively small, you should be prepared and upgrade your weapons.
Clatter. Clatter.
A bag of active cores was poured on the floor by Shen Cong.
Inspired by the Fang Dagger, Shen Cong realized that the upgrade of weapons required these active cores.
Eleven fangs, two large rat incisors, and a pair of chelicerae.
