Chapter 280 - Unresolved Mystery

Raincoat and his soldiers lives were spared by Liu Gan to serve one purpose - cannon fodder. The result was that no one was able to escape. All of their bodies remained there.
There was seven meter wide, five meter deep depression right behind the collapsed research building in the small courtyard. The depression had steps that led further down to a large underground chamber. After further investigation, Yin He was able to confirm that located here was a nuclear powered electricity generating unit that had supplied all the electrical needs of the complex, including the camouflage technology. However, the key material, nuclear energy, had been taken away so the generator was worth little more than scrap metal.
Without the key material, the generator couldn't function. Inside of the generator, Yin He was able to find a shielding material that was better than lead to block the transmission. After a series of delicate cuts and welds she created a bracelet that she wrapped around her wrist.
This shielding material was very lightweight. It was used to block out the powerful radiation waves emitted by the nuclear generator. In the end, the transmission signal itself was a type of wave. So the lower frequency transmission signal could be easily blocked.
“Those materials, if you can find more of it, make a band suitable for me and Zhang ShengLi to wear.” Liu Gan displayed his wristwatch to Yin He.
Liu Gan still wasn't sure of the mystery behind his wristwatch, but his gut feeling said that the wristwatch was a tracking device like Yin He’s, and that it would regularly send location transmissions of his whereabouts. These were just mere speculations, but Liu Gan doesn't want to be monitored. The bracelets didn’t seem like a bad idea, so carrying extras weren’t going to be a hinderance.
The high quality shielding material was rare and hard to find. With the remaining metal, only three more transmission blockers could be made. Liu Gan took two and gave one to Zhang ShengLi. Liu Gan didn't equip the bracelet onto his wristwatch immediately. There might be a better use for it later on.
The research building collapsing was due to failing structural integrity. Yin He looked around under the rubble some more, but ultimately gave up. Even if there was anything useful, it would be like searching through a trash dump for a set of missing keys or wallet, difficult to find a single viable item amongst the trash.
Meanwhile, Zhang ShengLi shone his flashlight on the remains of Kingler. There were scattered remnant shells all around, but the largest shell was still intact with Kingler. Zhang ShengLi looked at it with an unsatisfied expression.
Kingler’s body had been punctured a thousand times by the lasers, so if there were any usable parts that were unscathed it could still be cut off into odd shapes. Kingler’s shell had strong defensive properties that could deflect bullets, so it would be perfect for body armor material.
“Kingler’s shell, we can’t take it. It would be hard to even hack it apart so it’s not even worth trying to carry it back,” Liu Gan looked at Zhang ShengLi, and understood what he was thinking.
“If you guys really want it, I could cut off parts of Kingler’s shell into smaller parts for you to carry back,” Yin He told Liu Gan.
“Using the laser to cut through it? Would that waste a lot of energy?” Liu Gan hesitated to agree.
