Humans Shrunk 100 Times - Chapter 205: Attributes

“Do we really have to take the initiative to touch the Green Stele?”

After hearing Tang Jing’s words, even Chen Mu was a little worried. After all, the overall combat power of the Green Stele team far exceeded that of Qiming. Once they lost the storage room as cover, they wouldn’t have the capital to confront the Green Stele head-on.

“No need to underestimate yourself. Putting aside other factors, if we only consider individual strength, I believe no one in the Green Stele is your match,” Tang Jing said, even more confident than Chen Mu.

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, “That’s a bit of an exaggeration.”

Tang Jing didn’t argue but instead said, “Moreover, we are not going to the Green Stele’s lair. They have set a big trap. If we happen to encounter them at the school, I don’t believe their reconnaissance team will be stronger than us.”

“I heard An Rusu say that the Green Stele’s reconnaissance teams used to consist of four members each, but later, as everyone’s abilities improved, they changed it to two members, usually one combatant and one support,” Chen Mu explained.

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

“Yes,” Chen Mu nodded, “If that’s really the case, maybe we can intercept their reconnaissance team outside and persuade some of them, even if not by force.”

“But in that case, it would be equivalent to declaring war directly on the Green Stele,” Tang Jing said.

“In fact, the current situation doesn’t make much of a difference. With our current strength, a full confrontation with the Green Stele is inevitable,” Chen Mu sighed. “My original plan was to cooperate with the Green Stele.”

“When there are only two countries left in the world, they will never cooperate,” Tang Jing remarked.

“But there must still be people outside the school, and they are probably silently developing too. I always feel that at least we, Ziyu High School, should unite. After all, the challenges outside the school will undoubtedly be more numerous and dangerous,” Chen Mu said.

“It doesn’t depend on us,” Tang Jing responded. “Of course, the Green Stele isn’t a devil. If we communicate slowly, there might be a possibility of cooperation. But, as you said, time is not on our side. While others are developing, if we remain complacent, we will be eliminated sooner or later.”

“This world has changed, and we don’t know what it has become. We can only do our best to grow rapidly. The Green Stele is also doing the same—they are ignoring auxiliary ability users and are expanding outward, recruiting new members, not necessarily out of selfishness but because they have different choices,” Tang Jing explained.

Chen Mu sighed, “If possible, I really want to talk to the principal or Song Yu.”

Tang Jing hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, “Maybe there will be a chance.”

“In that case, should we shift our focus to the outside work?” Chen Mu asked.

“Coincidentally, with this car, isn’t it a heaven-sent opportunity?” Tang Jing smiled.

Chen Mu glanced at her and thought, “This shouldn’t be part of your evil plan, right…”

Of course, he wouldn’t say such a thing out loud, but Tang Jing clearly had a clear idea about Qiming’s development. She just hadn’t fully disclosed it and was guiding everyone at critical moments.

While the three were talking, Wei Dalei finally lost control.

A loud crash.

The car couldn’t handle a sharp turn at high speed and flipped over.

Chen Mu and the others walked over calmly.

Wei Dalei crawled out from inside the carriage, feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m used to driving small cars and forgot that this big car can’t turn so quickly.”

This guy was thick-skinned and robust, and this kind of traffic accident didn’t cause any harm to him.

Seeing Wei Dalei jump off the car, walk around to the other side, and with one hand lift the entire car back upright, Chen Mu asked Tang Jing with some concern, “The engine won’t be damaged, right?”

Tang Jing smiled and reassured, “Don’t worry. Leave the car to Lao Wei. I already anticipated this situation. As long as he doesn’t flatten the car, even if it ends up in the river, the engine will continue to run.”

“Good to hear.” Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this car would be their primary means of transportation for their upcoming trips. After traveling for such a long time, having a car to drive was exciting.

At this moment, Tang Jing asked Dong Junwei, “Class leader, have you conducted any experiments with other materials recently?”

“Too busy. Just making grenades every day has already consumed all my mental energy,” Dong Junwei replied.

“I think we can try the aluminum alloy Chen Mu brought back last time, and also the copper wire we found in the second box,” Tang Jing suggested.

As the chief paranormal researcher of Qiming, Tang Jing rarely gave guidance to Dong Junwei. On one hand, Dong Junwei was too busy and had little time to study her own abilities, and on the other hand, she was also the “leader,” so some things were not easy to say.

“Okay, why not try now? It’s still morning anyway,” Dong Junwei agreed.

After testing, under Dong Junwei’s ability, both copper and aluminum alloy saw an increase in temperature.

“It seems very likely that all metals are of the same type,” Dong Junwei concluded.

Her ability still had a lot of depth to explore. After all, there were numerous materials in the world, and the storage room only revealed the tip of the iceberg.

“But the temperature level and the difficulty of infusing energy seem to differ,” Dong Junwei looked at her hands, recalling her sensations.

Although she wouldn’t be burned, she could still feel the temperature difference when she heated an object.

“Aluminum has the lowest temperature, and its heat dissipation seems faster. Copper is better than it… better than the previous stainless steel,” she explained.

“Better meaning…”

“Using the same amount of mental energy, it can achieve a higher temperature increase, and it seems to dissipate heat slower. But the last point is just my feeling. I’ll have to observe it over time,” Dong Junwei described her sensations.

“It seems that different metals do have differences,” Tang Jing nodded.

“But what exactly is the rule?”

“For now, it’s copper better than iron, and iron better than aluminum. Based on this order, let’s think about the properties of metals,” Chen Mu pondered, “Density, hardness, strength, melting point, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity…”

“But who can remember the specific values…” Dong Junwei said, looking at Tang Jing.

Tang Jing nodded, revealing a rare bashful smile.
