Chapter 185 Combustible Ice

As Qian Yuting's graceful figure entered the elevator, the huge training room returned to peace again.

Today, Li Meng was destined to be restless. As soon as Qian Yuting left, a blue light suddenly shot out from the ceiling, and the avatar of the intelligent brain appeared.

"Commander, there is a rift at the bottom of Xiping Lake, with a depth of more than two thousand meters. After analysis of the survey data, it was found that there is a mixture of methane and water at the bottom of the rift. The storage capacity is large. The vein is about seven kilometers long and three hundred meters deep. After refining, it can be used as fuel."

Mixture of methane and water?

Li Meng opened his eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he muttered in his heart.

Isn't the mixture of methane and water combustible ice?

Li Meng looked up at the intelligent brain and asked: "All mechanical units in Black Flag City use electricity, what is the use of fuel?"

The intelligent brain replied: "It can be used as fuel for pulse engines and can unlock supersonic flight units."

Hearing this, Li Meng's eyes lit up, and his heart was even more happy.

Li Meng has always had a headache for flying units, because flying units cannot be propelled by pure electricity. Before the plasma technology is unlocked, electric-driven flying units can only use rotors.

The rotorcraft is too slow and noisy, and there is no living space in the original continent, so Li Meng gave up.

Li Meng never expected that the discovery of combustible ice would unlock the pulse engine technology, which is simply a new hope.

Li Meng hurriedly asked: "Is it difficult to mine?"

After all, at the bottom of the water at two thousand meters, the strong water pressure is a difficult problem to overcome.

Intelligent brain: "Difficulty: Medium, you can build a water platform on the lake surface and design a small submarine that can perform ore crushing operations at the bottom of the water at two thousand meters. After the submarine crushes the minerals, it uses a straw to suck the minerals out from the bottom of the water. The minerals will reach the water platform with the straw and then be refined."

This is the magic of technology. As long as there is technology and the Black Flag Empire Forward Base is the rear base, whatever you want, as long as you design it, you can build it in the end, and there will be no problems.

Li Meng nodded and said, "This plan is feasible. The design of the relevant units will be handed over to you and Engineer No. 1, Smart Brain. How long will this project take?"

Engineer No. 1 is in the energy tower, responsible for maintaining the database and some equipment in the energy tower.

Smart Brain: "It is expected to take 43 days."

More than a month?

Not long, a two-kilometer-long straw and a water platform, this is not a small project.

The blue light flashed, the Smart Brain disappeared, and the practice room returned to peace.

The expression on his face was thoughtful, and after thinking for a long time, Li Meng put away his thoughts.

Although he has been staying in the practice room for more than a month, he knows everything outside.

Listening to Qian Yuting's work report was not Li Meng's request, but Qian Yuting's initiative. Li Meng did not refuse. How could Li Meng not know her little thoughts, but just didn't say it out.

This woman is a bit perverted. The more she is tortured and insulted, the happier and more excited she is.

Although Li Meng also enjoyed it, he had no feelings for this woman. He just regarded her as his own property, and the dog's identity had never changed.

Looking at the iron ball not far away, Li Meng's mind moved...

A magical scene suddenly appeared. The smallest iron ball trembled slightly, slowly rose into the air, and hovered in the air two meters high, rotating at an increasingly faster speed.

This was the result of Li Meng's one month, being able to freely control a ten-kilogram iron ball.

His mind moved again, and under the control of Li Meng's will, the rotating iron ball attacked Li Meng like a cannonball, at a very fast speed, and only a black shadow could be seen flashing through the air.

When it approached Li Meng, the iron ball suddenly slowed down and rotated around Li Meng's body.

If there were outsiders, they would probably be stunned by this scene.

Controlling objects is only the most superficial use of the power of the mind. Li Meng has always believed that the power of the mind has many abilities, but he has not yet developed them.

The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten bite by bite. Li Meng is not in a hurry. When he can lift the heaviest iron ball with his will one day, he will focus on developing other abilities of the power of the mind.

He stretched out his right hand, with his palm facing up. The iron ball that was spinning around Li Meng in the sky suddenly stopped and fell straight down into Li Meng's hand.

The seemingly heavy iron ball fell into Li Meng's hand, and Li Meng's hand did not move at all, which shows its strength.

Of course, this is just an illusion. Although the iron ball is in his hand, Li Meng did not withdraw his mental power.

Standing up, Li Meng put the iron ball where it was originally, and then turned to walk towards the elevator.

Taking the elevator, Li Meng returned to the 13th floor.

As soon as he left the elevator, Li Meng saw You Lan on the sofa in the lobby.

Sister You didn't know what she was thinking, she was so absorbed that she didn't notice his arrival.

With a slight smile, Li Meng sat down next to Sister You, and his left hand was unceremoniously around her waist.

"Sister You, what are you thinking about?"

The hand that suddenly appeared on her waist scared You Lan, but she was relieved when Xiao Meng's voice sounded.

Giving Li Meng a cold look, You Lan shook her head and said softly: "I'm fine?"

"Really?"

Li Meng looked at Sister You with a smile, a look of disbelief.

If Sister You didn't have anything on her mind, how could she be so absent-minded.

Looking at Xiao Meng's young face in a daze, You Lan's eyes were very complicated, and a trace of hesitation flashed across her.

With a sigh, You Lan said faintly: "Xiao Meng, what if...what if I'm pregnant?"

Pregnant?

The doubt on his face flashed across his face, and Li Meng was stunned.

Looking up and down at Sister You, Li Meng said cautiously: "Are you really pregnant?"

Thinking about this month, he and Sister You live like a couple, and they don't take any preventive measures. Even if they are pregnant, it's not strange. After all, he is still young, and Sister You is not very old, and has the conditions for childbearing.

With a slightly red face, You Lan nodded, shook her head, and whispered: "I don't know, it's been five days, and that...that hasn't come yet."

Seeing that Sister You seemed a little scared, Li Meng smiled slightly and hugged her with both hands.

With his chin on her shoulder, Li Meng chuckled and said, "Sister You, you are my woman. If you are really pregnant, it's a good thing. I am not young anymore. Although it is a bit unexpected, I will be ready to be a father. Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

Hearing Xiao Meng's heartwarming words, You Lan felt relieved and was also a little amused.

"It's not certain yet. It may be that I am overthinking it. Don't think too much."

Looking down at Sister You's belly, Li Meng said in Sister You's blushing and blaming eyes, "Go check it out. I'll let Wang Yanmei accompany you to the hospital."
