Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
You just said that's our group's most core asset, but with your current qualifications, you pose no threat to anyone inside." After hearing Maria's words, what should have been a happy occasion—the chance to witness the city's secret power generation—was instead anything but. Liu Ning could see from a distance that there was a 100-meter-diameter metal cylinder in the center of the power plant, which supported the entire canopy, which was located several thousand meters above the city. This place...
For Liu Ning, the information about those people was important, but it was definitely not as important as a power plant. What was important was that Liu Ning had been very curious about this sky screen. Could it be that putting this thing in the sky above the city could meet the electricity needs of the entire city? It was like illuminating the whole city, but Liu Ning did not feel any stuffiness or anything like that inside.
"Of course you can go in. I've seen all your information, including your study materials. You won't pose any threat to us. If you're a very good student and get a doctorate or master's degree, then we can't let you in. You just said that's our group's most core asset, but with your current qualifications, you pose no threat to anyone inside."
After hearing Maria's words, what should have been a happy occasion—the chance to witness the city's secret power generation—was instead anything but. Liu Ning was utterly exasperated. What did she mean by "my grades aren't a threat"? It was clearly an insult to his academic performance. How could someone say something like that?!
Maria chuckled at Liu Ning's expression. She was right; with Liu Ning's current abilities, stealing their confidential information was absolutely impossible. However, Liu Ning had his own ideas. "Since you say I can't steal it, I have a copying system. I'll copy everything you have. Of course, I won't show it now; who knows if I'll need it later?" Since acquiring the system, Liu Ning had developed a very good habit: copying everything of value.
Liu Ning had heard before that this sky screen system was very expensive. Even a small screw inside cost millions. Liu Ning didn't know how much it would cost to assemble such a huge industrial system, and this was what he was going to do now.
Although the power supply is still stable now, who knows what might happen in the future? If the Morgan family turns against this place, will the entire city be plunged into darkness? If Liu Ning can provide a complete set of equipment, he would be a savior for the entire city, and he would be willing to accept any conditions Liu Ning sets.
After the two finished their meal, the kitten followed Maria out. Maria's car was a golden sports car. Liu Ning knew something about it. Although he didn't know the selling price, he could tell from the replica price that the market price of this car should not exceed 8 million yuan. For someone of Maria's status, driving such a car was indeed quite low-key.
In the past, power plants were usually located in the suburbs of cities to prevent pollution. But now it's completely different. Power plants are located in the city center, and no matter how the city develops, it revolves around the power plant.
Liu Ning could see from a distance that there was a 100-meter-diameter metal cylinder in the center of the power plant, which supported the entire canopy, which was located several thousand meters above the city. Liu Ning did not understand such technology, at least not in the previous society, but now it was possible.
The canopy covers the entire city and generates electricity not only from sunlight but also from the faint moonlight at night. As long as there is light, the canopy can absorb energy from it, making it the source of the city's electricity and the most important part of the city.
When this thing was first built, many flying magical beasts tried to destroy it, but after dozens of attempts, these guys all obediently retreated. Whenever they flew to a distance of a few hundred meters from the sky, some strong electric currents would shoot out around them. No matter how fast the beasts were, they could not escape and would eventually turn into a piece of black glue. This kind of thing happened more than once.
They soon arrived at the power plant's main gate. The inspection here was extremely strict because it concerned the power supply of the entire city. In addition to the Morgan family, the naval base also stationed a considerable number of people here to ensure the safety of the city's power supply. If a safety issue were to occur, it would not only be a loss for one group, but the entire city could also be plunged into darkness, which was something the naval base could not tolerate.
"It's normal for the defense to be strong. After all, this is a vital part of the city. A single strong person could destroy everything here. These people are just for show. If someone really comes to cause trouble, these people won't be of much use. It's the strong people inside who will do the work. This place has been attacked before, but because we planned it well, there has never been a power outage."
Seeing Liu Ning's curiosity about this place, Maria, being the owner, naturally knew how to explain things. The situation here was already quite good. Liu Ning was also quite familiar with the current situation. When he went to the garrison town, he was amazed by its defenses, as there were even warrior-level experts stationed there. In fact, the defense level here was even higher than that.
Although Liu Ning was brought in by Maria, all of Liu Ning's information had to be thoroughly checked. No matter how much Liu Ning had contributed to the city, if you wanted to enter the power plant, you had to undergo this check. Even if the garrison commander wanted to enter, he would have to be checked. This order was made by the Human Council because this place was so important. If any problems occurred here, no one in the entire city could bear the responsibility. Therefore, this check at the gate was absolutely indispensable.
After driving a short distance, Liu Ning saw many people unloading goods. Inside were some golden, shimmering objects. Liu Ning knew what these were—the crystal cores of ferocious beasts. In addition to absorbing light energy, these objects also consumed some of the beasts' crystal cores.
Liu Ning originally thought that this place only absorbed light energy and that nothing else was needed. Now it seems that this is not entirely true. In fact, in addition to being a solar power station, there is also a machine inside that extracts energy from the crystal cores of ferocious beasts.
