Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 113 Professor Ma's Abilities
"Did Mom go back?"

Su Huan narrowed his eyes, looking at Yu Jing, who hadn't even looked up, with amusement. "You knew everything?"

"The train is only so big. If she's not in the kitchen or going back to her room, where else could she be?"

Yu Jing said calmly.

"Was my mom at your place that night too?"

"Didn't you already know that?"

"That's it."

Su Huan's forehead went black; the spendthrift kid had tricked him into revealing information.

However, both of them were smart and did not continue on this boring topic.

"How's the exoskeleton modification going?"

"So far, things are going smoothly. There aren't many things that need to be modified. It's just that these exoskeletons are too simple and their functions are too limited. I want to try adding a few useful modules without changing their basic framework. Professor Ma has already helped me with the circuitry."

"By the way, most of these exoskeletons are currently powered by lithium batteries..."

"Issue a mission: Go find Jiang Rong!"

You're using your dad as a power bank.

Su Huan walked towards the back of the carriage with a dark face, grumbling, "Let's see if you can get all this back..."

Behind her, Yu Jing stretched and yawned, a thoughtful look flashing in her phoenix eyes. Although Su Huan was a bit wicked, possessive, and petty, and her mother always suffered losses by being by his side, she didn't have to worry about suffering any other losses.

……

As soon as Su Huan entered carriage number 11, he froze.

What appeared before him was a wondrous sight.

It's not surprising that the drone was floating in mid-air, but the fan blades weren't turning!
Various odds and ends, clothes, shoes, tablets, mobile phones... even pliers and flashlights were suspended in the carriage.

The slight feeling of weightlessness beneath his feet made him feel as if he had entered a space capsule, and the fact that his clothes floated up immediately when he tiptoed confirmed that this was not an illusion.

The gravity in this carriage is just wrong.

Suddenly, various objects began to fall. Su Huan walked into carriage number 12, where a group of students had gathered around an elderly man with graying temples.

The latter opened his eyes and smiled gently at Su Huan, "This is truly a magical power, as if it has made me ten years younger."

When the students around saw Su Huan, they respectfully made way for him.

Compared to adults who have been through the ups and downs of society, these students have a more nuanced attitude towards authority. They go through a process from blind obedience to resistance and then to awe.

In the adult world, the strong don't need a reason.

It's enough to know he's strong; his words will become the truth until he falls from that position and is forgotten.

But students are always curious. They will investigate why you are strong, why what you say is the truth and what I say is not. In this process of peeling back the layers, they will begin to despise or admire you.

Even if a strong person falls from grace, this faith rooted in their youth will only become more precious with time and will not be easily shaken.

Su Huan gradually transformed from a "strongman" with some martial prowess in their eyes into a "strongman" with a profound understanding of the apocalypse and evolution.

He is knowledgeable, capable, has management skills, has goals, and possesses a righteous spirit of helping others.

That's how he was able to manage such a huge train and have over a thousand people willingly obey him.

Unbeknownst to Su Huan, he already had his first group of staunch supporters since the apocalypse.

Yes, the first batch.

Yu Yue doesn't count; her faith is too weak and needs Su Huan to constantly reinforce it. Su Huan looked at Professor Ma's fading wrinkles and smoother skin, and reached out his hand with a light laugh, "Although I've said it many times, I still have to repeat it: welcome to the world of evolved beings."

Professor Ma shook Su Huan's hand and said thank you sincerely.

Although he could tell that this young man was not as simple as he seemed, he was too old to care about such things.

He values ​​what he does now and what he can do in the future.

"Professor Ma's ability is to manipulate gravity?"

Su Huan asked curiously.

When the topic of abilities came up, Professor Ma instantly became talkative, and began to tell him about his various feelings and conjectures during the evolutionary process.

It must be said, a scholar is a scholar.

When he evolved, all he could think about was "the thrill of battle!" He didn't think about anything else.

Professor Ma even deduced several possible evolutionary paths based on the existence of omnipotence.

For example, the resonance of bloodshed.

The only uncertainty is which organ to eat.

Su Huan didn't know much about the evolutionary direction of gravity controllers, since there were already relatively few controllers, and after dividing them into various miscellaneous directions, there weren't many left.

He didn't hold back and told Professor Ma everything he knew, letting him make his choice.

Among the students, four, including Xiao Zhao, have awakened.

Because this group of people are classified as researchers, it doesn't matter what field they are in. Even if Su Huan awakens the Defender, he can't be sent down to carry a gun.

"Is there anything I need to do next?" After discussing evolution, Professor Ma tactfully turned to business.

Su Huan nodded and said directly, "The system in the digital center has been almost completely dismantled. I hope you can lead the students to install it on the armed train and turn it into an information terminal."

Professor Ma wasn't surprised. He and his students were the ones who dismantled it, and he had a vague suspicion when he saw the train.

"Although it's a bit big, it's not a big problem to make some changes."

"I have three requirements for the information terminal. First, it needs to be a database that is stable and not susceptible to the erosion of general energy. Second, it needs to be intelligent. The standard doesn't need to be too high; the level of artificial intelligence from decades ago is sufficient. It should be able to make it easy for me to call up functions or replace the driver. Third, and most importantly, I need to monitor the entire situation inside and outside the train and have drones fly around to investigate the surrounding environment."

Professor Ma's expression grew increasingly serious as he listened to Su Huan's request.

If it's just installing surveillance cameras on the train, then it's not a big problem, since it's all wired communication.

Even intelligent systems are just a bit more troublesome.

The most difficult part is actually getting the drones to fly.

Professor Ma pondered for a moment and said, "After you told me about how the Pan-Energy system would hinder communication last time, my students and I did some research. Electromagnetic waves, infrared and visible light communication are basically unusable. We haven't tried sound waves or mechanical waves yet, but even if they can be used normally, the limitations are huge."

"As for special media, we don't have the necessary conditions, so if we want to restore normal communication, we can only start with general energy, but this is not my forte, so I can only try my best."

Professor Ma's words were very pertinent; Su Huan did not exert any forceful pressure.

In his previous life, when he betrayed the Iron Council, their main means of communication still relied on evolved beings.

However, it cannot be ruled out that other major powers have already developed universal communication methods.

He's the type to take a shot whether there's a chance or not.

It would be great if we could figure it out, but it's also normal if we couldn't.

In any case, no one can be idle on the armed train.
