Lu Xi'an really wanted to have a camera to capture Yao Wei's smile at this moment, but unfortunately, he didn't have one.

He also really wanted to take a pen and draw Yao Wei's smile right now. He had a pen, but the problem was his drawing skills were terrible, and he would likely end up drawing Yao Wei as Peppa Pig. So he had no choice but to give up.

With no other options, he had to deeply engrave Yao Wei's smile in his heart.

"But before we leave, how about we stop here for a while?"

Lu Xi'an said.

Yao Wei didn't hesitate or have any doubts, she directly nodded and said, "Hmm, you decide."

Lu Xi'an originally intended to explain further, but was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he decided to state the reason: "The booklet in the drawer has specialized training plans for Type A Neo-Humans. I just took a look, and it seems quite useful.

"To ensure future safety, I think we can stay here for a while and train according to the plans in it."

"It also says that if there are Type C Neo-Humans, they can be used to train us in resistance to pheromones.

"I've already given those strain injections to Luo Ping, and he will arrange for someone to administer them. I wonder if anyone will evolve into Type C Neo-Humans.

"If there are, we can let the new Type C Neo-Humans help us train in resistance to pheromones. That way, when we encounter Type C Neo-Humans in the future, we won't have such a headache."

"Hmm."

Yao Wei listened to Lu Xi'an and nodded.

Indeed, what they are most worried about right now is facing Type C Neo-Humans.

If resistance to Type C Neo-Humans can be enhanced, they won't be as passive when facing them in the future.

They had been heading north before, and if they head south next, they will definitely encounter more Neo-Humans. Doing these exercises is very necessary.

—Of course, the premise is that Luo Ping's team can succeed in bringing forth Type C Neo-Humans.

She thought of something and added, "But if necessary, I will leave early."

"When?"

Lu Xi'an asked.

Yao Wei replied, "When my will is worn down. This place is too safe and comfortable, staying here for too long might erode my will, and I won't have the courage to leave."

"Hmm."

Lu Xi'an nodded slightly. This woman had such concerns before, which is why she didn't come here, but now seeing the situation here so peaceful and because of Institute 923's activation, becoming hidden and secure, this concern deepened.

He said, "Then we'll focus on training to strengthen our will and leave before it gets worn down."

"Okay."

Yao Wei nodded.

"That's settled then, let's get off the car."

"Hmm."

After finishing their conversation, they both got out of the car.

The three people who had been peeking out from the room door quickly withdrew inside, and when Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei walked in, they eagerly looked at them, wanting to know what decision they made in the car.

Among the three, only Luo Ping showed a slightly regretful expression, as if sighing for not witnessing the anticipated scene.

Lu Xi'an didn't speak to the others but called out "System" and brought the Masked Man over, asking, "Is there any weaponry in Institute 923?"

"Yes."

The Masked Man replied, "Institute 923 has deployed a defense unit and self-defense weapons for the fortress since it was put into use, deployed at the outer top, corridors, and internal corridors. But later, as the war intensified, the defense unit was withdrawn and sent to the battlefield first.

"After Institute 923 achieved preliminary research progress, we upgraded the base's self-defense weapons to compress and use Dyson Sphere energy beams for high-energy attacks.

"We also installed two energy beam emission tubes on the drones, capable of compress emissions of Dyson Sphere energy beams for high-energy strikes."

So the drones on the outside platform don't need ammunition, or are they "infinite ammunition," capable of striking at any time?

"Then why aren't two cannon tubes installed on the car as well?"

Lu Xi'an asked.

If the car also had two cannon tubes, it would be incredible.

The Masked Man answered, "That car is produced using ordinary materials combined with lightweight composite materials for radiation resistance, with a low proportion of high-strength materials. Ensuring long-term tolerance of Mechanical Dog 02's energy load is the limit, unable to withstand weapon usage intensity."

"I see..."

Lu Xi'an nodded and asked, "But I've used Gou... that is, Mechanical Dog 02... to power circuits elsewhere, and didn't see any issues."

"Different power supply methods entail differences in power strength and stability too."

The Masked Man replied, "To address material scarcity, we proposed other plans back then, using Mechanical Dog 02's core module as the main unit, adopting an overflow scheme to power ordinary circuit materials.

"The Mechanical Dog 02, after multiple adjustments, can only achieve this much. If this plan could be realized, we could dismantle the materials on the vehicle, mass-produce the core materials of Mechanical Dog 02, and use it as a power supply.

"But the completion of this plan's trial came just before we stepped onto the battlefield, and there was no one left to approve and promote this plan subsequently.

"We eventually sent this plan back to the base remotely and pre-set it, waiting for someone to open the base and develop and promote it. However, judging by the current condition information received, this plan has failed. It has no chance of landing before civilization returns to a corresponding height."

Lu Xi'an remained silent for a long time and said, "That's truly a pity..."

The Masked Man said, "Human society and civilization are composed of numerous accidents, including the Dyson Sphere Plan of those years.

"According to the comprehensive development progress of civilization at the time, it was actually far from the time to initiate the Dyson Sphere Plan. However, related technology happened to achieve a breakthrough in key areas by accident, leading to its implementation.

"Human civilization has reached today's result, but a new human society has formed on the ruins.

"Do not lament the past; we should focus on the present and look towards the future."

"Thank you."

Lu Xi'an smiled, unexpected that he was advised by an AI left here by the old world's institute.

Behind him, Luo Ping also nodded in agreement but did not say anything.

Lu Xi'an then said to the Masked Man, "Can I request you to input permissions for others here?"

Luo Ping and the others were slightly stunned.

The Masked Man said, "Yes. The Institute 923 system has three levels of permissions: highest permission, secondary permission, and guest permission.

"The highest permission has absolute control over the system; secondary permission can enter all areas except this control room; guest permission can enter external space, and for internal space, an application must be submitted, which can be accessed after obtaining approval from both the highest and secondary permissions."

Lu Xi'an said, "Alright, I request to input the highest permission for Luo Ping into Institute 923." He pointed to Luo Ping behind him as he spoke, and then pointed to Shu and Chai Xin, "Input secondary permission for Shu and Chai Xin. As for other permissions, let Luo Ping assign them later."

Luo Ping, Shu, and Chai Xin were all stunned.

Chai Xin realized something, feeling sad, said, "Big brother and sister, you're still going to leave..."

Lu Xi'an smiled, ruffling Chai Xin's head, making the already messy hair even more like a bird's nest: "We still have things to do. Once we're done, we'll come back."

"Oh..."

Chai Xin was slightly reassured but was still a bit unhappy. However, she was very understanding and wouldn't force anything on others even if she was unhappy.

"Please stand in front of this screen and focus on the central red dot, highest permission input person."

The Masked Man issued a command.

Lu Xi'an stepped aside for Luo Ping to step forward.

Luo Ping was not pretentious; he took a deep breath and said to Lu Xi'an, "Thank you."

Lu Xi'an smiled and said, "No need to thank me. If you can make this world better, then I can live comfortably in this world later, making today's everything worthwhile."

Luo Ping firmly focused on the red dot in the screen and said resolutely, "I don't know if I can do it, but I will try my best."

Lu Xi'an said, "You will. I'll give you something later."

After Luo Ping, it was Chai Xin and Shu's turn.

Once all three had completed inputting their permissions, Lu Xi'an took out the four booklets from the drawer and said, "These four booklets, let's read them first in the next couple of days and give them to you once we're familiar with them.

"These contain introductions to the training and usage methods of Type A, B, C, and D Neo-Humans' abilities, as well as coordination techniques. You should read them carefully later.

"Shu can also take a look as you are half a Type D Neo-Human. Of course, you shouldn't only look at your part; it's also best to understand other types of Neo-Humans, so you'll have a better grasp if you encounter them in the future."

Luo Ping, who hadn't looked at those four things before, widened his eyes at Lu Xi'an's introduction: "Wow?! Such good stuff?!" He exclaimed, then nodded repeatedly, "You guys look first, you guys look first."

Lu Xi'an smiled and said, "We didn't look for nothing; we have something good for you. Follow me."

He said as he walked out, with Yao Wei, Chai Xin, Luo Ping, and Shu following behind.

Beside Yao Wei's car outside, Lu Xi'an opened the car and first asked Yao Wei, "Your car, how do you plan to handle it?"

Yao Wei blinked and said, "Give it to them. I'll hitch rides with you in the future."

Lu Xi'an laughed, "What's hitching rides with me? How unpleasant that sounds. It's our car."

"Yep."

Yao Wei couldn't help but smile again.

Lu Xi'an opened the car door, took the things from inside, and said, "Wait, help me move all these things to that new car over there. But no need for these—"

He pointed to two boxes and said, "There's a box of books here, Luo Ping, keep it well, study hard, and learn well. Finally, motivate your people to learn with you and select those who study well for good cultivation.

"The knowledge points within can be tested by consulting that system later to see if it can explain them. If it can, then that'll be great.

"These are textbooks from the old world, recording knowledge from middle school to university. With these, we have truly inherited from the old world."

Luo Ping exclaimed, "Wow?! Then can't I be a college student?!" The thought of being a college student felt amazing to him.
