Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 453 - 225: The Hidden Threat, Single Crystal Glass, Laser Weapon (Part 2)

Chapter 453: Chapter 225: The Hidden Threat, Single Crystal Glass, Laser Weapon (Part 2)

Thus, this group of conspiratorial young members of the Upper Class could only rely on their limited vision to carefully explore beneath and around the lens, searching for the mechanism to open the passage.

Near the garden, they cautiously left three people to stand guard at three street intersections, keeping watch.

At the slightest rustle, they would make a noise, which could both draw the attention of the patrol and alert their companions inside the garden who were conducting the search.

Even if these hidden sentinels were caught, they would only be guilty of venturing out unauthorized. Although there was a curfew, and the Oasis Upper District consistently upheld the rule of not going out day or night, they were still members of the Upper District, of noble status and not insignificant value...

So even if there was punishment, it would probably be house arrest or prematurely becoming the sacrifice for the Moonlit Ceremony.

It was a very prudent and safe plan.

Sufficient for this group of insiders to complete the Li Family’s mission, finding the controls for the Oasis Battleship’s secret weapon.

However, they forgot one thing: if patrol members were always beneath or inside the Oasis Garden, then even setting hidden sentinels wouldn’t be of much use.

So shortly after this group went up, Lin Feng immediately took off the bulky power armor, carrying only two firearms downgraded to Level 19 and the Oasis Key stored closely, to head into the garden.

Behind him, Shen Yue was about to call tonight’s patrol members, but Lin Feng promptly stopped her.

The reason was simple, this group hadn’t yet found the location of the secret control room. Even if they were arrested now, as long as they insisted they were only there to look for lost items, or an escape route...

With the identity of the Upper Class, as long as it didn’t involve the security of the Oasis, there would still be no severe punishment.

And the secret of the Curse of the Light Blade was probably known only by the Great Assistant Priest Captain and Lord Bishop in their control room.

Lin Feng wanted to find out, but he couldn’t reveal any purposeful investigation; he had to let these people "accidentally" discover it, then incite Shen Yue to follow along with him.

With this thought, Lin Feng pulled the woman to hide deep in the woods, quietly waiting for these young Upper Class members to find the control room.

Soon, a commotion was heard beneath the giant lens not far away.

Lin Feng, with eyes like a torch, precisely locked on through his multiple senses and saw someone leave the surface of the garden.

They discovered a hidden door covered by turf.

Leading to the control room beneath the lens.

So the leading figure arranged two Early Tier One members of the Upper Class to guard above, while he led the other three members to explore inside. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Lin Feng immediately took action.

Without the restriction of power armor, being a Tier Two Evolver, Lin Feng could silently arrive behind the targets in an instant.

Although his burst speed was only a hundred meters per second, currently the distance between the two sides was less than twenty meters, and within a blink, the two Upper Class members collapsed softly on the ground.

Leaving behind the silhouette of Lin Feng swinging his hands.

With one hand shaped like a knife, he gently knocked on the target’s neck, directly shattering the nervous system inside, causing the brain to crash and go unconscious.

The force used was merely a small two to three tons.

After easily dealing with the targets, Shen Yue belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly stepped forward to use specially made restraining straps to tie up the two’s hands and feet tightly, then grabbed some mud to gag their mouths.

After completing all this, she nodded at Lin Feng.

The two then turned their eyes to the secret entrance emitting a faint light source.

It was only a square meter in size, barely allowing two people to go down simultaneously. There was no staircase inside the hole, but a folded metal ladder stood there.

Lin Feng immediately walked in, while Shen Yue thought for a moment and decided to wait until he finished everything before going down to take over.

Firstly, the space was narrow, and following him in might hinder Lin Feng’s performance. Secondly, in case there was something unspeakable below, it was better not to know.

Shen Yue was quite self-aware, and by now she faintly sensed that Lin Feng’s target might indeed be this secret passage, leading to the hidden chamber...

The so-called investigation and arrests of traitorous spies were actually just a reasonable explanation.

As she anticipated, once Lin Feng entered the hidden room, it only took him a brief two seconds to knock out the three Mid-Tier One Evolvers inside.

The main factor was the sudden occurrence, with Lin Feng holding the advantage of the initiative, achieving his goal easily even without unleashing the aura of a Tier Two Evolution.

The three Mid-Tier One Upper Class members, with the leading figure being a Level 16 Evolver, comparable to Shen Yue.

After dealing with the three and ensuring no one slipped through, Lin Feng immediately observed his surroundings.

This highly secretive control room, under a dim white fluorescent lamp, was less than five square meters in size.

Moreover, the facilities were very outdated, similar to the hotel in the outer Fifth Village, and many places were rusted red due to the garden’s irrigation system.

However, at the center of the control console, there was a handle resembling a steering wheel and three refracting periscopes.

It gave Lin Feng a sense of being in a submarine underwater, added to by the occasional sound of a fountain splashing from the top...

It truly felt surreal.

But Lin Feng’s feelings were indeed correct, for next he saw that on the control console were various abandoned control panels, pressure gauges, and depth gauges, vaguely recognizable.

This was dismantled from a submarine.

I estimate the manufacturing of the Oasis Battleship also has many roots, pieced together from various sources.

Lin Feng quickly collected his thoughts and observed the three periscopes connected to the outside world.

He discovered one of them was an observation port at the ship’s stern.

It could see the team behind and the Scorching Sun in the distance.

The center one was positioned above the lens, with a control handle beside it for operating it.

The one on the far side was where the lens light source was directed to the bow focus point.

In total, the three lenses could fully control the giant lens overhead, thus enabling the Curse of the Light Blade to charge for a strike.

Shen Yue, still outside, noticed the quiet within the channel and cautiously went down.

Seeing Lin Feng observing and the three unconscious intruders.

Shen Yue immediately took out the restraining straps and bound the three tightly, following the same method, then walked to Lin Feng’s side:

"This is probably the true control platform of the Moon Mirror, while the administrator’s outside can only adjust the angle of the lens’s rotation, thus controlling the reflected light into the Upper Class District."

Lin Feng nodded and noticed a drawer that had been pulled open nearby, containing a stack of documents.

He immediately took them out and began to flip through them.

Upon the side, Shen Yue originally wanted to remind him, but considering his current identity and purpose, wisely kept her mouth shut.

And at this moment, the documents in Lin Feng’s hand included not only an instruction manual for the control room but also a handbook for the Curse of the Light Blade.

Placed at the very bottom.

It stated that the Light-Gathering Lens required by the Curse of the Light Blade must withstand deformation at a temperature of at least a thousand degrees and must also endure a rapid temperature rise of a hundred degrees per second.

Because while the Curse of the Light Blade uses focused strikes, even a Tier Three King cannot escape the speed, but the damage dealt needs time to charge.

Taking a thousand damage within five kilometers as an example, it also needs to be accomplished within one second.

And the power of this thousand-point damage in one second requires at least a ten-second charge beforehand to gather the lens’s focus to a degree sufficient to melt everything at ten thousand degrees.

So in this process, as the rear Light-Gathering Mirror, the temperature will also be heated up to thousands of degrees.

Like the thermal furnace at the Oasis base, producing most ordinary glass can bear a maximum temperature of five to six hundred degrees.

Only technically demanding single crystal glass can withstand higher temperatures while enduring dramatic short-term temperature changes.

So the conditions enabling the super weapon Curse of the Light Blade, capable of damaging a Tier Three King, are unusual.

Manufacturing a single crystal glass lens as wide as twenty meters is not something ordinary forces can achieve.

Lin Feng put down the documents he had read and began searching again, eventually finding an exceptionally pure glass mirror in another cabinet.

Holding it in his hand was just like holding pure water, without any impurities.

Even when the view passed through the glass, it felt like experiencing the very existence of this glass.

"Single Crystal Glass Level 20, Orange Quality"

"Basic Attributes: Transparency 99.9%, Maximum Tolerance Temperature 1200°"

"An important component of laser weapons, the production process is extremely complex. Its atoms are tightly arranged following a specific periodic rule, and the surface is exceptionally smooth, virtually flawless, like a mirror. Due to its atomically perfect structure, single crystal glass exhibits outstanding optical performance, often used in high-precision optical instruments and devices."
