"A cooling device? This seems like the cooling device we traded to you earlier. Can you enhance its original effect? The original cooling device could only cool water temperature, and the effect couldn't spread through the air, but now it can actually spread through the air, and the distance isn't short either."
Chen Xianzhi suddenly realized and exclaimed with surprise, "With this cooling device, the marvel Cloud Soaring can even be put away, thus greatly conserving water."
Jia Weixin also immediately realized it, his face showing a look of pleasant surprise.
Their marvel 'Cloud Soaring' consumed an enormous amount of water.
If this cooling device could replace it, their water supply could last for at least a month, or even two months.
"Hmm? Wait, is this vapor? Hiss... Is it raining?"
Suddenly, the three of them shuddered all over, looking in shock at the fine mist gathering in the air.
"Cold air condenses water vapor, this... I understand now, this is how you get your water. Indeed, with this temperature, it's enough to condense water vapor in the air!"
Advisor Chen Xianzhi exclaimed with joy.
Jia Weixin couldn't help but feel ecstatic as well. If this cooling device could consistently condense water vapor, they might be able to stay inside this ancient ruins for a long time.
Moreover, if they could solve the food problem, they could even settle here permanently and make this place their home.
Leader Chen, on the other hand, glanced at the cooling device with eyes full of curiosity. Being a scientist, his first thought was whether this cooling device could be replicated.
'This guy's conceptual superpower seems different from other conceptual abilities. It appears his power enhances existing items. Does that mean enhanced items can be disassembled for research?'
Leader Chen felt a bit excited because almost all items created by other conceptual superpowers couldn't be replicated and would be destroyed if disassembled.
But the conceptual creations made by Yang Yuan seemed somewhat different?
"Excuse me, what is the manufacturing cost of this cooling device? How difficult is it to make? Can the cooling range cover the entire safe zone?" Jia Weixin immediately thought of this question.
The situation in the safe zone was very urgent, and if it could cover the entire area, there would be no need to worry in the short term.
Previously, he had requested emergency aid from the Alliance Headquarters, but the reply left him very angry and helpless.
But now, he saw hope; perhaps they wouldn't need the alliance's support at all.
Moreover, if they could solve the food issue, they wouldn't need to keep fleeing and could settle directly here.
Yang Yuan smiled and suddenly upgraded the Tenth-level cooling device by one more level. He also wanted to see what an Eleventh-level cooling device would be like.
Soon, the upgrade was complete:
[Marvel·Cooling Device Lv.11: 0/20 (Radius of effect fifty meters, easily affected by the environment, the closer to the cooling device, the less environmental impact, minimum temperature zero degrees; objects in contact will be forcibly cooled, easily affected by external forces; cannot be upgraded)]
As the cooling device reached Eleventh-level, Yang Yuan suddenly felt his body temperature dropping rapidly, almost freezing his blood. Fortunately, at the last moment, a power similar to his own negated the freezing effect on him.
Even so, he was quite surprised because his current physical condition was far superior to ordinary humans, yet he nearly stumbled here?
He quickly looked at the second sentence on the cooling device:
[Objects in contact will be forcibly cooled!]
And at the moment it reached Eleventh-level, a strong cold air suddenly enveloped a fifty-meter radius area.
Within this area, fine rain suddenly appeared.
And near the cooling device, where everyone was, it even started snowing. The condensed vapor turned directly into snowflakes or snow grains in zero-degree temperatures.
"This... Hiss!!"
"Is it snowing?"
"It's already drizzling in the peripheral area!"
"Can the cooling device achieve this effect?"
"With this, even if a Drought Fiend approaches, ordinary people might survive!"
"This... is wonderful!"
Jia Weixin and the others displayed expressions of extreme joy, their eyes burning as they stared at the cooling device in Yang Yuan's hands.
Suddenly, the eight bodyguards behind them all showed changes in their expressions.
Because they noticed that, as the temperature in this area plummeted, the clash of hot and cold airflows suddenly created a gale, and the wind continued to grow stronger, seemingly on the verge of forming a tornado.
At this moment, Yang Yuan suddenly placed the cooling device into the isolation box and closed the lid.
Instantly, the temperature rapidly returned to normal, and the rain and snow that had fallen disappeared quickly, as if the previous intense cold air had been an illusion.
Although the wind was still present, it was no longer intensifying, allowing the eight superpower user bodyguards to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the eight superpower user bodyguards' eyes flickered slightly because they realized that such a cooling device seemed capable of artificially creating natural disasters.
Jia Weixin and the others, of course, thought of this as well.
Instantly, they regarded Yang Yuan with more seriousness, realizing his ability was far more terrifying than they initially thought!
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "The effective range of this cooling device is one hundred meters, or a radius of fifty meters. The cost should include time, and as for the production time, in ten days, I can make... a hundred."
As he spoke, he handed the box to Jia Weixin, "This is a sample. Director Jia can take it back for appraisal first, and then place an order. However, during the appraisal, it's best not to touch it directly with your body; otherwise, I won't be responsible for any issues."
Suddenly he thought of something and added, "Oh, right, this kind of cooling device can easily cause tornadoes, so it's best to box it up immediately after use. Apart from this matching box, it's difficult for other things to isolate the radiation of this cooling device."
"Don't worry, we have Wind Superpower Users who can calm the generated winds."
Jia Weixin happily accepted the box containing the cooling device, gently stroking it with care, then handed it to Leader Chen.
Wind Superpower Users?
That's good indeed.
Yang Yuan thought that the military would surely use this thing better than he would, without causing a disaster.
After all, his safe house level was getting higher and higher, and he shouldn't fear mere tornadoes in the future.
"Then we'll return to the safe zone now. Mr. Yang Yuan, would you like to come with us?" Jia Weixin asked eagerly.
Yang Yuan glanced at the not-so-large aircraft in the distance and then at the number of people with Jia Weixin and shook his head to decline, "I appreciate Director Jia's kind offer, but we'll follow later."
"Very well, in that case, we'll be heading back."
Eager to return, Jia Weixin hurriedly led his group away.
"Jiayan, bring out everything from the safe house."
Yang Yuan said, "Fill up the water bags and pour some water out of the airdrop box, leaving only enough to cover the cooling device. Don't worry, we'll never run out of water again."
"Got it."
Zhao Jiayan immediately brought out everything from within the safe house, mainly the Spirit Monster Core and bullets, as well as isolation boxes crafted over the past few days.
Yang Yuan looked at the safe house before him, checking its current status:
[Solar-Powered Portable House Lv.5: 243/80 (Upgradeable)]
"Upgrade!"
A white light, visible only to him, appeared, enveloping the entire safe house.
Then he saw the safe house being refined by some force, with modules increasing.
This upgrade didn't take long to complete.
[Solar-Powered Portable House Lv.6: 163/160 (Upgradeable)]
"Continue upgrading!"
After about a minute or so, the upgrade was complete.
At this point, the safe house had clearly changed.
The original safe house was flat on the ground.
But now, although the surface size of the safe house hadn't changed, a part of it had merged into the ground, appearing fixed in place, suggesting that ordinary wind might not move it.
Yang Yuan looked expectantly at the information about the safe house:
[Palm-Sized Safe House Lv.7: 3/320 (Hand-sized House Foundation Core, anchor into the ground upon placement, difficult to move; not upgradeable)]
The name had changed.
Moreover, the current safe house could now anchor into the ground.
