Chapter 211: Chapter 207: Civilization’s Legacy
The voting session to decide how to handle the problem was finally over.
Eirilson cleared his throat, his voice growing heavier.
"Recently, I’m sure you have all noticed the changes in the environnt. This is an extrely ominous signal..."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression turned grim.
To put it bluntly, the essence of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy is the very Vitality of Earth Star.
Once it becos denser, the resulting changes are naturally not limited to just Secret Martial Artists. Other living beings are also affected by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy to varying degrees.
Ordinary humans will grow stronger and healthier.
Animals will beco larger, fiercer, and more intelligent.
The growth cycles of various plants will shorten, and the output of Treasure dicine and Spiritual Materials will increase accordingly.
According to historical records, this phenonon often occurs before the fall of a civilization or a great cataclysm.
It’s like the warning signs before an earthquake, such as earthquake clouds, falling well water levels, and animal migrations.
An abnormal increase in the density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy is not a good on.
For instance, over two hundred years ago, the ergence of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, while opening up a new path for Secret Martial Artists, also brought about the resurgence of the threat from the Black Blood Species.
"Although the situation isn’t severe at present and nothing unusual has happened, we cannot let our guard down. We must prepare in advance. Only with sufficiently powerful weapons can we have the confidence to face the coming danger..."
At this point, Eirilson looked behind him.
A massive projection screen appeared above the conference hall.
After a crackle of electricity,
the screen cleared to reveal an elderly man in a white lab coat. He was slightly stooped, with salt-and-pepper hair and a pair of gold-rimd glasses perched on his nose.
A na tag was pinned to his chest, bearing the na ’Wang Wenshan’.
Hu Qi had so recollection of this old man.
It wasn’t that he had t him before, but rather from the original owner’s mories.
The man was apparently a legendary figure from a Xia Federation middle school physics textbook.
Born over one hundred and fifty years ago, he was a giant in the world of physics who had won an almost uncountable number of invention awards.
He was one of the landmark physicists who propelled civilization into the information age.
According to the textbook, he should have died more than sixty years ago.
But now, it seed that was just a cover story.
’For him to live this long,’ Hu Qi considered, ’he’s either a Secret Martial Artist, has taken so special Treasure dicine that extends one’s Lifespan, or a Refining God Venerable personally intervened to condition his body.’
He was more inclined toward the last possibility.
’The man before
doesn’t look like a Secret Martial Artist at all, and I’ve never even heard of a Treasure dicine that can increase Lifespan.’
"Professor Wang Wenshan, how is the research and developnt progressing on your end?"
Wang Wenshan heard this and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
"Everything is progressing smoothly at the mont. We are continuously deciphering those ruins and have already made significant gains."
As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing the scene behind him.
It was an imnse, silver-white space, seemingly large enough to contain an entire football field, and it exuded a strong sci-fi aesthetic.
Researchers in white lab coats were everywhere, heads down, busy with their respective tasks.
As the cara slowly panned, the futuristic landscape of the laboratory was revealed piece by piece.
Huge, transparent glass pods stood in rows, refracting a mysterious halo under the cold lighting.
The pods were filled with a pale green liquid.
Inside them lay humanoid creatures.
"These are Genetic Warriors, cultivated from the embryonic stage. We have integrated Master Hu’s Genes into them.
After data analysis and comparison,
their strength and speed are comparable to a Martial Arts Family mber who has broken through the Essence Elent Divine Treasure. However, they are lacking in Recovery Power and do not possess special abilities like Qi Blood True Strength. The good thing is, they feel no pain..."
Wang Wenshan explained, pointing to one of the nutrient tanks.
Inside was a modified being with the head of a lion and the body of a man. It was enormous, standing three ters tall. Its golden fur seed to be made of special tallic fibers, each strand standing on end and glinting with a cold light.
Its limbs were thick and powerful, and its claws were like sharp blades, capable of easily tearing through hard objects.
Then, he pointed to another glass pod.
"These are Modified People. Parts of their bodies have been replaced with special alloy materials. Their strength varies depending on the materials used and the extent of modification. The one before you is our most perfect specin, with a modification progress of over ninety percent. The only human part remaining is his brain..."
Inside the nutrient tank lay a tall, nearly-nude figure.
Its body had sleek lines and firm muscles, and its skin had a strange silver sheen, as if covered by a high-tech Battle Armor.
It wore a uniquely shaped helt that obscured its face, with only a faint, red cross-shaped light blinking on its surface.
Unlike the forr, which must be cultivated from embryos,
these Modified People require the selection of strong, compatible adults.
As the cara panned forward, a succession of bizarrely shaped Modified People and Genetic Warriors ca into view.
Although these creatures lay quietly, their chests rose and fell slightly, and they all had oxygen delivery devices attached to their faces.
Bubbles occasionally rose in the surrounding liquid, proving that they were all alive.
Next to these nutrient tanks stood display screens, where lines of data scrolled like a waterfall, monitoring every minute change within the modified bodies.
Colorful liquids and light flowed through pipes on the walls, providing the modified bodies with energy and nutrients.
But these Modified People were just a small, insignificant fraction of the whole. Even if they could be mass-produced, their combat power was only comparable to a Martial Arts Family mber. They would be of little use against Middle Black Blood Species.
Furthermore, these Modified People and Genetic Warriors had a huge drawback: an extrely short Lifespan, typically only five to ten years.
Due to the genetic modification, they require constant adjustnts. If too much ti passes, their own Genes will collapse, and these artificial creations will simply die.
However, these were secondary.
As the cara continued to pan,
a series of powerful weapons appeared one after another: supersonic fighter jets, annihilation cannons capable of easily destroying a city, and futuristic Interstellar Battleships, among others.
Beyond these, there was a truly powerful superweapon.
It was a weapon nad ’Supernova,’ shaped like a gigantic drill.
Its function was to instantly release an extrely special wave that could stimulate the radioactive Elents present in the Earth Core, such as uranium and thorium.
This would cause them to decay rapidly, releasing a massive amount of energy.
