370: Anti-gravity craft

Hearing Meng Xian say that, Tian Ming frowned and said, "Ask for my opinion? You are the head of the base now. You can handle it however you want. Why ask me?"

Meng Xian said with some difficulty, "Boss, the three or four Transforming Potions in the Comprehensive Management Department are all old-timers from the base. They were also forced to become Transforming Potions. Moreover, these Transforming Potions did not participate in the riot. Can we spare their lives?"

"Oh, I understand. You're here to plead for them, aren't you?" Tian Ming asked.

"It's not exactly pleading. Your method of dealing with the Transforming Potions this time has already caused some murmuring among the management, and those ordinary members who participated in the riot also became cannon fodder. Recently, the management has been unsettled. Privately, some people call you a demon. This time, you really killed too many people."

Although Meng Xian's tone was soft, his words carried an accusation. This time, Tian Ming acted decisively, and the rioters were almost cleared out in large swaths, like cutting wheat. This caused a considerable shock to the management, let alone the ordinary people in the base.

Tian Ming said calmly, "Meng Xian, I didn't kill innocent people, did I? Besides the Transforming Potions, those who incited trouble, their mentality, I don't think you don't understand, do you? If they are not eliminated today, and if the base falls into difficulties in the future, these people will inevitably turn on their own kind first. If they are killed, they are killed. You have followed me all this way. Don't you know my temper? I have my own sense of right and wrong. Normally, I can follow rules and do things according to rules, but in that state, what rules do I follow?"

Meng Xian was silent for a long time. After a while, he finally spoke, "Boss, I know you are right. I, Meng Xian, will definitely stand by your side. So, how should these Transforming Potions be dealt with?"

"They are essentially zombies, and although they possess human reason, keeping them in the base is definitely a hidden danger. There are two ways to deal with them: first, give them a humane choice, let them end their own lives. Second, send them outside the wall and let them fend for themselves."

Tian Ming's two suggestions were absolutely rational. If sent out, these Transforming Potions were unlikely to be accepted by the zombie population. The Transforming Potion level is very low, equivalent to a Five-level Ability User. Perhaps they are stronger than ordinary zombies, but for zombies that have evolved to a certain level, Transforming Potions are useless except for being smarter than them.

Meng Xian fell silent again. After a moment, he replied, "Boss, can they be used as samples for Ability User experiments to improve the Super Serum? These Transforming Potions are actually very similar to the Super Serum, and the success rate of Transforming Potions is tens of thousands of times higher than that of the Super Serum. If these Transforming Potions could transform into Ability Users, wouldn't that be better?"

Tian Ming frowned and said, "Are you sure about this? The process will probably be extremely painful, right? Torturing them like this, what if you create a monster? Wouldn't that be playing with fire? Is this your idea, or the researchers' idea?"

"It's my idea," Meng Xian said.

Tian Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Then let them choose for themselves!"

"Boss, when will you come to the base? The Anti-gravity Aircraft Research Institute at the base has made some progress on the Anti-gravity Aircraft, and there are still a few key technical problems that need to be solved now," Meng Xian asked.

"Oh? Anti-gravity Aircraft? This is good news, but I'm afraid I can't solve the technical problems, can I?" Tian Ming showed a hint of interest on his face.

"It's still about materials and craftsmanship. The manufacturing difficulty is too high. We sent a few Superpower Users with relevant elements to participate in the construction, but the precision still can't meet the requirements."

"Are you in a hurry? If there are difficulties with the project, let Number Three participate first. It will compile the unresolved difficulties and report them to me," Tian Ming said.

"Okay, then I'll talk to the people at the Anti-gravity Aircraft Research Institute and let them have Number Three participate," Meng Xian said.

After hanging up the communication, Shen Yuan's dishes were already on the table. There were four dishes in total: braised fish, steamed shrimp, stir-fried greens, and a tomato and egg soup.

"Husband, come and eat," Shen Yuan greeted with a smile.

Tian Ming looked at the dishes on the table. Not only were these dishes excellent in color, aroma, and taste, but the speed of cooking was also incredibly fast.

"How did you do that?" Tian Ming asked with some surprise. In his opinion, Shen Yuan seemed to have instantly transformed from someone who couldn't cook at all into a master chef.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly and said, "There's an online chef in the community who updates daily on cooking with the ingredients already available in the base. Of course, I learned it myself. How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Looking at Shen Yuan's rather proud expression, Tian Ming gave a thumbs up and said, "Hmm, it looks good. I wonder how it tastes?"

Shen Yuan handed over a pair of chopsticks and said, "You try it and see how my wife's cooking is?"

Tian Ming picked up the chopsticks and tasted a bite of the braised fish. The fish was tender, the sauce was rich, and the taste was just right. He showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodding in praise: "Not bad, your cooking has improved greatly."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan's smile grew even brighter, and she said, "Of course! I found that cooking with my object control ability allows for better mastery. For example, before, when I flipped fish while frying, it would always break, but now it doesn't. I can flip it from a distance, and I can also make the oil directly cover the entire fish for even frying."

"No wonder it was so fast. So you use your ability to cook?" Tian Ming found it a bit amusing.

"Yes, husband! You don't know, cooking also has its techniques. Using an ability, I can control the heat and the doneness of the ingredients, which is not only efficient but also makes the food taste better," Shen Yuan said excitedly.

Tian Ming smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'll go get Xiao Xiao, and we'll eat together. I approve of that housewarming party you mentioned. Call over the people we know then. I'll help you out, and you be the chef. Let's have a good time."

"Okay, it's a deal then!" Shen Yuan clapped her hands happily, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Tian Ming got up and brought Xiao Xiao. The little one was sleeping soundly and immediately woke up when held in her father's arms. Shen Yuan looked at this scene, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

The three of them sat around the dining table. Shen Yuan directly pureed the shrimp from a distance and fed it to Xiao Xiao. The little one was also a big eater, excitedly waving her small hands when she encountered something delicious.

"After we finish eating, I need to go to the base. I haven't shown up for a long time, and the Anti-gravity Aircraft Research Institute still has material and manufacturing problems to solve," Tian Ming said while eating.

Shen Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Is my brother in charge of it? He told me about it, but it shouldn't be that urgent, because the development cycle for such large aircraft is very long."

"Hmm, I'll still go and take a look to understand the situation."
