Chapter 393 Repairmen Can Save the World!
Nie Qingcheng stared at the picture for a few seconds.
"So this is a repair, not a final battle."
"right."
"The core issues are time and resources."
"right."
Her tense shoulders finally relaxed a little.
Zhang Yan knew that what she wanted was not comfort.
What she needs is an actionable solution.
As long as there is a plan, Nie Qingcheng can turn fear into efficiency.
He continued, "After the first break was repaired, the shielding efficiency increased from 41% to 54%. This shows that with each repair, the entire gate network is restored. After the second repair, it is expected to increase to at least 70%."
Nie Qingcheng asked, "The second location requires the Vermilion Bird to operate at full power for six hours."
"Um."
"Suzaku can't hold on."
"We can't hold on any longer."
Zhang Yan retrieved the structural diagram of the Zhuque power furnace.
"I plan to upgrade the Lieyang Power Furnace to triple its current energy conversion efficiency."
"It's not simply about increasing burst damage, but about adding a stable output layer so that Suzaku can maintain the gate's frequency without burning through it."
Nie Qingcheng looked at the densely packed list of materials.
"Which ones can I solve?"
Zhang Yan marked half of them in yellow.
"These."
Nie Qingcheng glanced at it.
"We can get 70% domestically, and the remaining 30% will have to go through overseas mineral networks."
"Is it too late?"
"Three days."
Zhang Yan looked up.
"So fast?"
"Qingcheng International is not just for show."
"I know."
"You don't know," Nie Qingcheng said calmly, "you're always quite polite whenever you use me."
Zhang Yan paused for a moment.
"Not again."
"That's more like it."
She continued reading.
"You'll make the Azure Dragon Space Stabilizing Coil yourself?"
"Hmm. We need to dismantle part of the Azure Dragon's spare structure, but that won't affect its ability to provide you with a stable field."
Nie Qingcheng looked up.
"Don't prioritize me."
Zhang Yan said, "There is no conflict."
"Complete answer."
"Leave the main Qinglong module as is, only remove the spare coil. Your stable field still has the highest priority."
Nie Qingcheng looked at him for a while.
I'll accept it for now.
Zhang Yan felt a little relieved.
What he fears most is not technical difficulties.
Nie Qingcheng realized that he wanted to prioritize her safety above all else, so she stood up to him.
Although he did do it anyway.
But this time it won't affect the main storyline.
It's not considered concealment.
Nie Qingcheng's fingertip touched the third break.
"And the third one?"
"The most troublesome."
"explain."
"The third injury is not ordinary damage; it is a structural injury left by a force from another dimension that failed to force its way in. The system cannot provide a complete repair plan at this time."
Nie Qingcheng frowned.
"condition?"
"The gate maintenance agreement is fully activated."
"With the first two repairs completed, is the agreement 66% complete?"
"Probably. Then the third point will unlock the real solution."
"schedule."
Zhang Yan stated directly, "Complete the second repair within forty days."
Nie Qingcheng looked at him.
"You originally meant to say thirty days."
Zhang Yan stopped.
She sneered.
"You think I can't tell?"
Zhang Yan said, "Thirty days is too risky."
"Just so you know."
"That's why I said forty days."
"Remember, the plan must be able to be implemented successfully."
"Um."
Nie Qingcheng took the tablet and began to break down the tasks again.
"I'll take care of the materials. I'll use a three-shell company to source the overseas parts, so no one will know their purpose. Qin Xiao will be in charge of military transportation and containment. Guan Xing will organize the ancient books, focusing on checking the frequency of the Vermilion Bird, the Blazing Sun, and the Gate. You'll be in charge of the modification. You're not allowed to work continuously for more than six hours."
Zhang Yan said, "Six hours is too short."
Nie Qingcheng did not look up.
Five hours.
"Six hours is fine."
Four hours.
Zhang Yan shut up.
Nie Qingcheng then looked at him.
"Want to haggle some more?"
"no."
She pushed the tablet towards him.
"sign."
Zhang Yan glanced at it.
The above is the schedule.
He meant that there was no need to sign it.
But he signed it anyway.
Nie Qingcheng was somewhat satisfied.
There was a knock on the study door.
Qin Xiao pushed open the door and came in, holding a document in his hand.
"Brother Yan, sister-in-law, the first batch of photocopies of ancient books has arrived from the Star Gazing Bureau."
As he spoke, he put down the document and then saw 47 times on the screen.
He still didn't look well.
"I just looked at the data for the Sealed Ruins again."
Zhang Yan asked, "The conclusion?"
Qin Xiao said, "I admit, fighting head-on would be suicide."
He felt a little aggrieved after he finished speaking.
"But I still want to ask, are we just going to be repairmen forever?"
Zhang Yan looked at him.
"Repairmen can save the world."
Qin Xiao was taken aback.
Nie Qingcheng said calmly, "It's more useful than you carrying a cannon."
Qin Xiao choked.
"Sister-in-law, what you said was a bit hurtful."
Zhang Yan said, "But it's accurate."
Qin Xiao sighed.
"Okay, I admit it."
He pulled out a chair, sat down, and pointed to the documents.
"The military has already classified all seven coordinates as top secret. The lockdown around the first gate will remain in place. I was planning to discuss the data for the fifth gate tomorrow morning."
Zhang Yan looked at him.
"Now tell me."
Qin Xiao's expression turned serious.
"The global monitoring system has just detected a signal."
Nie Qingcheng looked up.
"The fifth door?"
"right."
Qin Xiao projected the data onto the screen.
"It wasn't caused by external impact or residual contamination. It lit up on its own for 0.7 seconds. The location has been confirmed; it completely overlaps with the fifth node in the seven-gate network."
Zhang Yan stared at the waveform graph.
The light was on for a very short time.
If the monitoring accuracy hadn't improved after the first gate was repaired, it would likely have been filtered out as abnormal noise.
Nie Qingcheng asked, "Why?"
Qin Xiao shook his head.
"We don't know yet. Guan Xing's assessment is that the seven sects have begun to coordinate."
Zhang Yan did not speak immediately.
He opened the system's gateway module.
First gate: 54%.
The second checkpoint: data anomalies.
The third layer: auxiliary maintenance container stability.
The fifth gate: brief spontaneous response.
Other nodes remain grayed out.
But a gray color does not mean safety.
A judgment popped into Zhang Yan's mind.
After the first gate was repaired, the entire gate network seemed to have partially awakened from its slumber.
It is performing a self-check.
It could also be a cry for help.
Nie Qingcheng had obviously thought of this as well.
"Is there any worsening data regarding the fifth gate?"
Qin Xiao said, "Not yet. It only lit up briefly."
"Location and environment?"
"Still being organized. It's not an urban area, but it's not completely deserted either."
Zhang Yan said, "Don't get any closer."
Qin Xiao nodded.
"That's what I mean too. The second fracture now has the highest priority."
Nie Qingcheng created a separate file for the fifth door.
"Monitoring is encrypted; all data only goes to the Great Wall Group and us. Do not spread the word."
Qin Xiao said, "Understood."
Zhang Yan stared at the waveform of the fifth door.
0.7 seconds.
very short.
But that's enough to illustrate one thing.
The seven gates are not inanimate objects.
They also retain some kind of response mechanism.
If repairing the first door can awaken the fifth door, then repairing the second and third doors might awaken even more nodes.
This could be a good thing.
It could also be a new problem.
Zhang Yan mentally re-planned the route.
First, change the Vermilion Bird.
Repair the second section.
Activate the maintenance agreement.
Then deal with the third place.
Simultaneously monitor the fifth gate.
He shouldn't be intimidated by 47 times.
This number only proves one thing.
The door must not be broken.
Nie Qingcheng suddenly pushed the hot water cup in front of him.
"Drink it, then go to sleep."
Qin Xiao immediately asked, "What time is it?"
Nie Qingcheng looked at him.
"You sleep too."
Qin Xiao pointed to himself.
"I?"
"Go to the military at six tomorrow morning to get transport authorization. If you don't sleep now, you'll make a mistake tomorrow."
Qin Xiao immediately stood up.
"receive."
He walked to the door, then turned back to look at Zhang Yan.
"Brother Yan."
"Um."
"Don't shoulder this alone this time."
Zhang Yan nodded.
"Won't."
Qin Xiao is gone.
Only the two of them remained in the study.
Nie Qingcheng tidied up the screen and closed the page with the 47x magnification.
Zhang Yan asked, "Not watching anymore?"
"Watching too much won't help."
"Um."
"You just said that a intact door would be enough to block it."
"right."
"Then fix it."
She walked to Zhang Yan's side and looked down at him.
"I don't care what's outside, or how many times bigger it is. If it can't get in, it's just a number."
Zhang Yan smiled.
"That's a phrase that suits you."
"Be poor."
She reached out and pinched his chin.
"Go to sleep now."
Zhang Yan took her hand.
"A beauty that could topple a city".
"Um?"
"I will not lose."
Nie Qingcheng looked at him, her eyes softening for a moment.
"I know."
The system interface on the desk lit up automatically the next second.
The waveform of the fifth gate jumped again.
This time, it wasn't 0.7 seconds.
It was a full three seconds.
