Chapter 207: Attributes

Do we really have to proactively go and bump into Qingbei?

After hearing Tang Jing's words, even Chen Mu felt a bit worried; after all, their overall combat strength far surpasses Qiming, and once we lose the storeroom as cover, we basically have no capital to go head-to-head against Qingbei.

There's no need to belittle yourself; setting other things aside, if we only talk about individual strength, I estimate no one in Qingbei is a match for you." Tang Jing said this, even more confident than Chen Mu.

Chen Mu shook his head, chuckling: "That's also a bit of an exaggeration."

Tang Jing didn't refute, but instead said: "Besides, we're not going to Qingbei's lair; their net is cast a bit wide. If we just run into them by chance at school, I don't believe a single External Duty Team would be stronger than us."

Chen Mu said: "I heard from An Ruosuo that Qingbei's External Duty Teams originally were four-person squads, but after everyone's abilities improved, they changed to two-person squads, generally one combat ability user plus one support ability user."

"Like the combination of Xin Ping and Liang Yan?" Dong Junwei asked.

"Exactly." Chen Mu nodded: "If that's really the case, perhaps we could directly intercept their External Duty Teams outside; without forcing them, we could at least persuade some people."

"However, doing that would be tantamount to directly declaring war on Qingbei."

"Actually, the current situation isn't much different; with our current strength, a full-scale confrontation with Qingbei is just a matter of time."

"Sigh." Chen Mu sighed: "My original plan was to cooperate with Qingbei."

"When only two countries remain in the world, they will never be able to cooperate." Tang Jing said.

"But there must still be people outside the school; they are surely developing silently. I've always felt that at least Ziwei High School should unite, after all, challenges outside the school will surely be more numerous and dangerous."

"That's not up to us."

Tang Jing said: "Of course, Qingbei aren't devils; if we communicate slowly, perhaps cooperation isn't impossible, but as you just said, our time is actually not much; if we stay complacent while others develop, we will eventually be eliminated."

"The world has changed; we don't know what it has become, we can only strive to grow as quickly as possible with our utmost effort. In fact, Qingbei is doing the same—they ignore support ability users, focus outward expansion, recruit new members; isn't that just trying to grow strong quickly to avoid elimination? Perhaps it's not entirely selfish, just a different trade-off."

Chen Mu sighed: "If possible, I really want to talk with the principal or Song Yu."

Tang Jing wanted to speak but held back; finally she nodded and said: "Perhaps there will be an opportunity."

"If so, perhaps our work focus should shift outward next?"

"Coincidentally we have this vehicle; isn't this a heaven-sent opportunity?" Tang Jing laughed.

Chen Mu glanced at her, thinking: "This probably isn't also part of your evil scheme, is it…"

He certainly didn't dare say that out loud, but Tang Jing clearly had a clear plan for Qiming's development; she just didn't lay it all out, only guiding everyone at crucial moments.

The three were talking when Wei Dalei over there finally messed up the rhythm.

With a bang.

The vehicle wasn't controlled well; a sudden turn at excessive speed directly caused it to roll over.

Chen Mu and the others walked over unhurriedly.

Wei Dalei crawled out of the cabin, a bit embarrassed, saying: "Sorry sorry, I'm used to driving a small car, I forgot this big vehicle can't turn that fast."

This guy is thick-skinned and tough; this traffic accident caused him no injury at all.

Only saw Wei Dalei jump out of the vehicle, walk around to the other side, and with one hand lift, he flipped the whole vehicle back over.

"Will the engine be okay?" Chen Mu asked Tang Jing with some worry.

Tang Jing laughed: "Don't worry, leave the vehicle to Old Wei; I already anticipated this situation. As long as he doesn't smash it flat, even if we drive into a river, the engine can keep running."

"All right." Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this vehicle will be their main labor force for upcoming outings; after traveling such a long distance, having a vehicle for transport is still quite exhilarating.

Tang Jing then said to Dong Junwei: "Monitor, have you recently conducted experiments on other materials?"

"I've been too busy; just making hand grenades every day has already exhausted my mental power." Dong Junwei answered.

"The aluminum alloy Chen Mu brought back last time, and the copper wire found in the second cardboard box, I think we can try them."

As Qiming's Chief Special Ability Researcher, Tang Jing actually gives little guidance to Dong Junwei; on one hand, Dong Junwei is really too busy, rarely having time to study her own ability; on the other hand, being a 'leader', some things are just hard to say.

"Well, why not try now? Anyway, it's still morning."

"Sure."

After Wei Dalei got his fill of driving, the other male students also went up one by one; of course, people like Zhu Hao and Chang Junyan, who had never driven before, Old Wei voluntarily acted as coach, giving them pointers one by one.

Chen Mu actually also wanted to go.

But there were already many people ahead of him; after thinking, he didn't want to argue with them since he'd get his turn sooner or later; besides, Dong Junwei's experiment also needed his assistance.

After testing.

Copper and aluminum alloy, under Dong Junwei's ability, the effect remained raising temperature.

It seems likely that all metals are of the same type.

Dong Junwei's ability still has great depth to be explored; after all, the materials in this world are diverse, while the storeroom here is merely the tip of the iceberg.

"However, the degree of temperature and the difficulty of infusing energy are somewhat different." Dong Junwei looked at her own hands, recalling the feeling just now.

Although she won't get burned, she can still feel the temperature difference of the objects she heats.

Aluminum has the lowest temperature, and its heat dissipation seems faster; copper is better than it… better than the previous stainless steel as well.

What does 'better' refer to…

Consuming the same amount of mental power, the temperature increase is higher, and it seems heat dissipation is also slower; but that last point is just my own feeling, we'll need to wait a while to see." Dong Junwei described her feeling.

It seems various metals still have differences." Tang Jing nodded.

But what exactly is the rule?

For now, it appears copper is better than iron, iron better than aluminum; following this order, let's think about the attributes of metals.

Metal attributes?" Chen Mu pondered: "density, hardness, strength, melting point, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity…"

But who can remember these specific values…" Dong Junwei said up to this point, looking toward Tang Jing.

Tang Jing nodded slightly, rarely showing embarrassment.
