Lu Heng walked to the reserved open space and smiled, looking at the sizable area.
"This place is more than enough. Later, we'll build a guardhouse here and assign some people to patrol."
This location was crucial for powering the entire Nameless City and the surrounding area.
Once powered up, there could be no further issues. Although the people here might not be able to repair this alien technology, they had to prevent anyone from sabotaging it. While the chances of such an event were extremely low, Lu Heng believed that even low probabilities should be nipped in the bud.
"Okay," Lin Yu nodded in agreement, making a note to find earth-element ability users to commence construction shortly.
It was just a guardhouse, so there was no need for extensive construction. Besides, the earth-element ability users they had now could build sufficiently sturdy structures.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Heng released the equipment and Evan.
Lin Yu looked at the device emitting a blue light placed in the center with great curiosity.
These alien devices were both compact and highly practical.
A device that seemed to occupy no more than ten square meters could power an entire city.
"I've noticed their power energy is always blue."
"Yes, it's made with the same principles. While I don't fully understand it, Evan said that energy produced by this technology is this color."
In reality, this blue was merely the color perceived by the human eye. Evan saw the energy in multiple colors.
Lu Heng didn't bother explaining further to Lin Yu, as he wouldn't understand anyway. Once human technology advanced, this knowledge would naturally be disseminated to all of humanity.
"Let's get this installed."
Lin Yu had already installed cables nearby. Once this modified device was connected, the area covered by Nameless City would regain its electricity.
"Brother Lu, don't we need to set up a control device for this?"
"Uh, didn't you set up controls where the cables were connected?"
"Yes, we ran four sets of cables from here. There's a control room over there. But doesn't this device itself need a controller installed?"
Lin Yu had thought of this to prevent special circumstances. Generally, the main equipment at a power plant also required a control system.
Lu Heng wasn't very knowledgeable about this and had momentarily forgotten. It seemed Lin Yu had learned quite a bit about these matters while managing the city's daily affairs.
Lu Heng awkwardly asked Evan again, and Evan immediately confirmed that the device had an electronic controller.
Evan tapped on the device a few times, and a circular opening emerged. A small rectangular object floated out and landed steadily in Evan's hand.
Evan handed the object to Lu Heng and briefly explained how to use the device.
Lu Heng turned and directly handed the item to Lin Yu. "You keep this. I don't have the capacity to remember these things."
Lin Yu smiled. Lu Heng was truly a hands-off manager, not wanting to deal with these details.
"Alright, I've noted it down. I'll pass this on to the person in charge here later."
"Are there any duplicates of this?"
Lin Yu, worried about losing the controller, looked at Evan, who had already returned to connect the cables.
"No, each device has only one controller."
"Oh, so can you control this device?"
Lin Yu quickly put away the controller and looked at Evan again, thinking that if the controller were truly lost, Evan could still control it.
Evan paused. "I cannot control it."
Lu Heng looked at Evan thoughtfully. He had almost forgotten that Evan had a peculiar ambition to build a world for robots.
Could these devices, modified by Evan, also have control systems installed by Evan?
He had watched many science fiction films about robots before the apocalypse. He couldn't let Evan exploit any loopholes.
It seemed they needed to expedite the process of humans learning alien technology. These things still needed to be equipped by humans themselves.
Lu Heng said nothing more, waiting for Evan to finish connecting the power equipment.
"Done."
Evan installed the last part, stood up, and returned to Lu Heng's side, standing still.
"Good, you can go back now."
With a wave of his hand, before Evan could reply, Lu Heng recalled Evan into his spatial dimension.
After recalling Evan, Lu Heng turned to Lin Yu beside him and said seriously, "I almost forgot. From now on, we should let it participate less in our equipment. You need to urge the research center personnel to learn their technology."
Lin Yu was stunned, not yet understanding why Lu Heng suddenly didn't want Evan to help modify equipment.
Seeing Lin Yu's bewildered expression, Lu Heng explained his concerns.
"Ah, Evan has such thoughts? Then we should indeed use fewer devices modified by it." 138 Reading Network.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu looked at the newly installed energy equipment with some concern.
"What about this, and the other things it modified before?"
Evan had modified quite a few things for them, and many of the items it had handled were very important now.
Would the communicators have any listening functions? Or could the treatment devices used for healing also alter human genes?
Receiving Lin Yu's worried thoughts, Lu Heng patted his shoulder.
"It should be fine for now, but we really need to be careful in the future."
Lu Heng guessed that the previous equipment hadn't been tampered with based on Evan's momentarily stunned reaction.
"Alright, check if these cable devices are connected properly. We'll start using this equipment for power tomorrow."
"Okay."
...
The next day, as night began to fall.
Nameless City suddenly became brightly lit. Areas that were previously dark were now illuminated, and the city's inhabitants curiously came outside to see.
"Hey, what's going on today?"
"Yeah, yesterday there was only one streetlamp lit every so often, and not this early. Why are they all on today?"
"Our Nameless City is so grand, electricity is free, hahaha."
"Keep your voice down. If everyone shouts like that, you'll attract the zombies outside."
"We go in and out of here every day, and we've cleared out every single one. You can stand outside the city and sing loudly, and no zombies will be attracted."
"Alright, stop saying useless things. But the lights are indeed a bit strange today. We didn't hear about any festivals today, so why are they all lit?"
While people in the city were still discussing, the leaders of various teams received notifications from Nameless City.
They all had new communicators issued by Nameless City, so they could receive news within the city immediately.
[Notice: All Team Leaders of Nameless City.
Effective immediately, the power system within Nameless City has been restored to normal. In the future, new equipment can be added for electricity usage within the city. Families in need can register with their respective team leaders. (Equipment includes: heating equipment, kitchen appliances, and other living appliances.)
Please forward this notice to all team members.]
