"Brother Hao, I've contacted Sister Yuannan a few times about the crystal stones. Yaoyao probably hasn't had the chance to tell you yet, right?"

Chen Tingting took a sip of red wine, her eyes narrowing slightly.

She hadn't tasted this flavor in a long time.

"No, is there any information?"

Wang Hao was always very keen about the crystal stones and had been collecting them.

The settlement camp had been researching these things for a long time, and by now, they should have made some progress.

"Yes, these crystal stones contain enormous energy, but this energy is from the monsters and very violent, making it unabsorbable by humans.

However, they can be used as an energy source."

"Tell me more."

"The crystal stones contain high-density energy, and the settlement camp can now bring out this energy through some means.

One ordinary crystal stone can supply a family's electricity needs for two years. Now, with intelligence sharing among settlement camps, they have started to explore military applications.

Weapons are being improved with crystal stones, such as energy swords and energy guns.

In the future, the energy from crystal stones might completely replace electricity and become the primary energy source."

Chen Tingting rattled off a lot of information.

Wang Hao felt his head buzzing.

My goodness!

He couldn't help exclaiming.

If that's the case, these crystal stones are going to be immensely useful!

Even just on the civilian side, they're incredible.

With so many devices damaged now, restoring civilization is very challenging.

If we can directly use crystal stones to supply power, many problems would be solved.

It's like using a power bank!

And a super high-capacity one at that.

With one crystal stone, you won't need to worry about electricity for two years; it's amazing!

When the energy in the crystal stone is exhausted, you just replace it in time.

Convenient and fast.

Not to mention for military use.

Currently, weapons can't even harm second-tier monsters much. If crystal stones power the weapons.

The power is sure to be much greater.

This also solves some of Wang Hao's issues.

He envelops bullets with spiritual power, greatly increasing their power, but the bullets' propulsion can't be increased.

So it's still quite difficult to hurt high-tier monsters.

If the power of crystal stones is used for propulsion, that problem could be solved.

Then there are large-scale weapons.

Gather the power of many crystal stones, then unleash a strike.

The power might not be world-ending, but it could certainly annihilate many things.

This is the power of technology!

The debate about whether technological civilization or cultivation civilization is stronger has always been contentious.

It seems now that neither is easy prey for the other.

Given enough time to study, invent, and create, technological civilization might not lose to cultivation civilization.

A cultivator with technological assistance would undoubtedly see a significant power increase.

Even things like magical treasures and pills, in some sense, could also be considered the power of science.

"Oh, right, take this and have someone research it. By the way, ask Chen Yuennan what material this is."

Wang Hao took out the special bullet he found on Purple Gold Mountain.

"This should be the new alloy bullet developed by the settlement camp."

After fiddling with it a bit, Chen Tingting said, "Now, each settlement camp is developing weapons against heart-eating ghosts and even higher-level monsters. This alloy bullet is one of them.

So, currently, some bases aren't too focused on their current ammunition; they don't want to waste manpower on it, knowing upgrades are inevitable."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Wang Hao nodded in understanding.

That military district had a lot of weapons, not only light weapons but also a large number of heavy weapons.

This juicy piece of meat, even with many monsters in the city, is surely something the settlement camp would want to take a bite of.

Didn't Chen Tianjun and his group end up here?

Now it's basically stabilized!

With various superpower users in the settlement camp, coming here shouldn't be much of a problem.

That invisible person from the second settlement camp could easily take away a lot of weapons and ammunition.

Yet, they left them alone.

With better things, who would spend resources on this junk?

But they may not want it, Wang Hao does.

These things won't be obsolete for at least a few years, and even if crystal stone weapons take off, these weapons will still have their lethality.

Firearms are powerful, but do archery and crossbows not harm?

"The settlement camp must be in short supply of crystal stones, right?"

Wang Hao asked calmly.

"Yes, very short. Right now, never mind the third-tier monsters, even second-tier ones are scarce. The settlement camp has had to dispatch hunting squads for this purpose."

Chen Tingting said helplessly.

"This time, I brought back quite a few crystal stones, tell your cousin later that I want to buy some high-tech from the settlement camp.

I can use a prepaid method for the transaction."

Wang Hao squinted slightly, "They probably don't have many crystal cores from third-tier monsters, do they?"

Disregarding the power of third-tier monsters, at this early stage of the apocalypse, even second-tier monsters are rare, and third-tier monsters are one in a million.

Wang Hao encountered them because the light rain on Purple Gold Mountain aided the monsters' evolution.

No other place has such an advantage.
