Chapter 1240
"Whenever there are any scarce resources or reward opportunities in the base, he always thinks of Zhou Shuwan first; when a disaster occurs and there is chaos, he doesn't ask about anything else, the first thing he wants to confirm is whether Dr. Zhou is alright and safe."
"Think about it, what kind of person is Captain Chen? He has always acted with composure and experience, and is meticulous in his thinking. He is by no means a person who acts impulsively. How could he openly protect Zhou Shuwan like this without a reason?"
Captain Qin's gaze sharpened: "In my opinion, Chen Jianzhang must know about Zhou Shuwan's secrets and her special talent. It's just that he sees through things and knows that this matter is of great importance, so he has kept his mouth shut and strictly controlled the scope of his knowledge, refusing to let anyone touch it."
The warmth in Lin Wei's heart seemed to be doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly cooling down by more than half.
It turns out Captain Chen knew all along!
In this way, if she wanted to study Zhou Shuwan's talent, wouldn't she be putting herself on the opposite side of Captain Chen from the very beginning?
"Then...is there really no other way?"
Captain Qin did not answer immediately, but instead fell into deep thought.
In his mind, Lin Wei's persistent research into her talent was an elusive and time-consuming endeavor.
Before the apocalypse, human medicine and genetic technology had been developing for many years, yet there were still countless problems that could not be solved. How much more so in this apocalyptic world where resources are scarce, equipment is incomplete, and even basic scientific research conditions are difficult to guarantee?
In such an environment, it is extremely difficult to thoroughly study a person's genetic talents; it is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight.
More than this distant research, he was worried about the current predicament of the base.
These days, global temperatures continue to rise, far exceeding the limits that humans can withstand.
The ships and vessels in the base are exposed to the scorching sun year-round, and their hulls have long been corroded and mottled by the high temperatures.
If this continues, it won't be long before it's completely unusable.
These ships are their base's last resort, their only hope for venturing out to sea to find a way to survive should they have the chance in the future, and they must not be destroyed.
He suddenly remembered Zhou Shuwan's abilities; the woman seemed quiet and reserved, but in reality, she was very capable.
Since she has such abilities, perhaps she also has a way to properly store these ships and protect them from the scorching sun.
With this in mind, Captain Qin's thoughts gradually became clearer.
He pulled his wandering thoughts back and looked at Lin Wei in front of him again: "You should stop worrying about Zhou Shuwan's matter. This matter involves a wide range of issues and is not as simple as you think. Forcibly interfering will not do you any good."
Lin Wei looked up abruptly, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Captain Qin raising his hand.
"I'm asking you, what's the progress of the high-temperature coating materials that your research institute is currently researching?"
The research on that high-temperature coating material was initiated by Captain Qin himself and is currently the core project of the research institute.
After all, with the current scorching heat, both the exterior walls of the base buildings and various equipment urgently need this kind of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant coating for protection. This is directly related to the survival of the entire base and is far more urgent than studying a person's talent.
The high-temperature coatings they have developed so far are too limited and are easily corroded by high temperatures and salt spray!
Therefore, there is an urgent need to replace it with new materials!
Upon arriving at the Nanyang ship, they discovered a new boiling point alloy!
This is a near-perfect material!
Therefore, Captain Qin wanted the research institute to use boiling point alloys to study the material and see if they could make a breakthrough!
Lin Wei paused for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, "Wang Ping has already come up with some initial ideas for the research on high-temperature coating materials, which need to be refined and adjusted step by step."
