I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 531: Chapter 390: Biotechnology, and… a Whole New Era of Biology!

Jin Dongliang, Guo Dafeng, and several other officers also arrived in front of the memorial hall and found it crowded with people.

People were quietly visiting and quietly leaving, some relatives were silently crying.

Jin Dongliang saw a recording device, inside which were stored the last words of a group of soldiers before the great battle began.

He pressed the button.

“Last words? There’s not much to say, is there?” A young man’s voice came from the recorder, “Well, if I must say something, then I’ll just say a few words… (*serious tone) I love this place, it’s my homeland, where I grew up. Isn’t it natural to defend one’s homeland? If I unfortunately fall in battle, then it’s like making history, and you don’t need to ask my name, just call me ‘an ordinary member of humanity’, that’s it.”

“As for my inheritance, leave it to my little family… Actually, I don’t have much, haha.”

As this recording played, a few officers couldn’t help but shed some tears.

Suddenly, they heard laughter from the front, Jin Dongliang was just about to scold when he heard those young people, standing in front of the monument, laughing, “Brother Dong, we survived! Really, even the ghosts couldn’t defeat us!”

“We’re going to a far more distant place now!”

“Four Tyrants gang, you always have a spot, rest assured. We… should be laughing.”

Yes, humans should laugh!

…

At 12 noon, a grand celebration banquet began, with fruits and fine foods, beautiful music and discussions about the future.

High-ranking government officials, engineers, and scientists were here eating and drinking; although there was no extraordinary food, humans had not yet recovered their essence, and extraordinary output was scarce, but ordinary food was still plentiful.

“After the coral island cultivation base is opened, we’ll need to build a pier.”

“We need to prepare a deep-sea fishing vessel… There should be some remnants from the heritage of the South Island Civilization.”@@novelbin@@

“It’s been over fifty years, those ships are all decayed.”

“Fix them up, if they can be used, that’s good enough.”

Lu Yuan, with his Little Mirage Dragon, Old Dog, Old Turtle, hid in a corner and feasted.

He didn’t join in the discussions, just enjoying a moment of leisure.

“Roar roar!”

“Woof woof!”

The Little Mirage Dragon and Old Wolf were competing who could eat the meat faster, eventually fighting over a fish.

Old Wolf naturally couldn’t beat the Little Mirage Dragon, but his snarling appearance was quite merciless; he probably thought he was the Little Mirage Dragon’s father.

Strangely, the Little Mirage Dragon thought so too, and seemed to feel aggrieved…

Lu Yuan watched them with disdain, looking at your starving ghost appearances, have I ever mistreated you?

Only Old Cat couldn’t eat and sat on the dining table snorting and glaring, meowing sadly.

However, as the Great Commander, even if Lu Yuan deliberately hid, he was easily found.

Colonel Jin Dongliang, arm in arm with his wife, holding a cup of tea, smiled and said, “Captain Lu, how come I don’t see your partner?”

“Hey, she’s busy suppressing that ghost, and hasn’t come out for over fifty years.” Lu Yuan complained a bit, “Once she enters that Soul Gem, she enters a state of extreme focus, completely unaware of the passage of time. I also studied there for fifty years…”

Jin Dongliang’s eyes widened: “Extreme focus, that’s indeed a top-tier thing, something many experts dream of!”

“No no no, ordinary people can’t perform soul outbound, can’t use that thing.” Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, “You need a spiritualization ability to do outbound…”

Jin Dongliang cleared his throat and brought up business, “Great Commander, about the ‘Field’ issue… Do you have any new research progress? Everyone is a bit anxious.”

“Oh, I was actually looking for you, indeed, these years of study have given me confidence…” Lu Yuan, munching on French fries, stood up and clinked glasses with him.

The creation of “Mythical Level Greedy Demon God” still had lingering effects.

Master Craftsman and Craftsman Master, although only a word apart, the levels are worlds apart.

“This battle, everyone earned some military merits, I will help customize them, one by one. First submit the materials, body data, ability type, field preference, etc.”

Seeing how forthcoming Lu Yuan was, the surrounding colonels, their ears perked up, all showed delight.

After the war, everyone was anxious to enhance themselves.

Level Six and Level Seven, indeed a significant threshold.

Though in the face of those Catastrophe Level anomalies, the Field actually wasn’t much use, being able to escape with one’s life was already good.

But in large-scale conventional warfare, the “Field” still had some use.

And Lu Yuan himself also needed to accumulate more experience.

His Divine Skills were too chaotic, using every type imaginable—skills from the “Greedy Demon God” were even more numerous and disorderly.

After accumulating experience, not only could he enhance the overall strength of Humans, but he could also create a Field for himself, for the “Greedy Demon God.”

What a bargain!

Jin Dongliang left contentedly with a group of school officers.

Within minutes, Professor Desert arrived at the table with a group of experts.

Desert, the head of the engineering department, had coral island construction as his current top priority: “Mr. Lu, the marine aquaculture base will soon be completed, but now there are no species available for cultivation… It’s tough to cook without rice. We can only raise some ordinary fish and shrimp.”

“There’s nothing I can do about that… I can’t conjure Extraordinary Creatures, can I?” Lu Yuan said helplessly.

Desert coughed: “Could we borrow your War Puppet for a bit? Umm, to go to the deep sea, about ten thousand meters deep, to catch some extremely Rare species.”

“The deep sea environment is peculiar, and perhaps many powerful Extraordinary Species are hiding there. If nothing else, we could at least scoop up some minerals.”

Well, fame has its consequences; now the whole world knows that Lu Yuan has a super awesome War Puppet…

“Cough cough, Professor, I might be a bit busy lately… I don’t have the time.”

“Hey, those officers are not in a hurry, they can’t change anything with an extra Field.”

“On our side, it’s urgent. If we can’t increase Extraordinary Output, we won’t be able to expand our population, and it will be hard to enhance our overall strength. Population is key. Little Mirage Dragon discovered several Extraordinary Creatures hiding in the deep sea that even survived the Ghost Mist Disaster!” Desert pulled out a photograph.

What about the Giant Treasure Crab? Goodness, it’s as big as a small house and it’s female; capable of laying eggs, who knows how old it is.

Plus, Sea God Grass, Stone Flower, kelp, and other marine Plants that have undergone positive mutations.

In fact, individuals who could persist through the Ghost Mist Disaster are all high-quality!

This reduced a lot of screening work.

Lu Yuan thought and smacked his head, thinking deep-sea fishing could legally embezzle minerals; this suggestion seemed quite reasonable. By the way, he could also secure some funds from Humans; this Puppet needs to burn Spirit Essence to move! (If not using Ideal Energy, just Physical Energy.)

“How do we solve the water pressure issue?” Lu Yuan asked, “Won’t the creatures from the deep sea burst when brought up?”

“Hmm… Extraordinary Creatures have strong adaptability; if pulled up slowly, giving them time to adapt to the pressure, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“Alright, I’ll plan out my schedule, and when I’m free, I’ll help you.”

Desert left satisfied.

Then a large crowd arrived, including biologists, physicists, engineers, government leaders, education experts, etc., all toasting to Lu Yuan.

Actually, they all came with their respective issues. Human society was bustling, truly very busy.

Among the most important was upgrading to a Third-level Civilization.

“Source Fire Civilization is a genuine Third-level Civilization. Our biotechnology and some parts of Ideal Science are definitely not inferior to Source Fire Civilization, but our production capacity is still lagging. Particularly in the direction of Physical Technology… Controlled Nuclear Fusion is a key future research direction. With nuclear fusion, high-power weapons can be developed.”

“I think nuclear fusion isn’t very urgent, semiconductor technology from the South Island Civilization, like the Ant Chip, is a critical weapon. Higher specification computers are also essential for future development.”

“No, we should prioritize developing biology first. We are already far ahead, why not press on further? In the idealistic world, biology is the most important.”

The experts launched into intense discussions.

The population of Human 18th Civilization is just so limited… not enough to cover all bases.

Gradually, in the midst of this heated discussion, Lu Yuan clearly sensed that Human “Luck” was rapidly rising from a previous low.

This might be the so-called “historical change,” bringing about high-level Ideal Energy.

Even his “Greedy Demon God” sneakily absorbed some high-level energy.

[Civilization Points +1]

“Let’s not argue anymore. Next, we just need steady development. Although we need to be vigilant, we cannot be anxious.”

“After the coral island project is completed, we need to set off and leave this place.”

“What’s most important next is to return to our past glory and strive for even greater success. Those over four hundred Divine Skills… we need to identify suitable candidates.”

“We also need to restart producing military weapons; safety is still most important…”

“Then, adopting the biotechnology of the South Island Civilization, their biotechnology is really quite good. Combined with our decades of experience, once resources are plentiful, we can expand the population.”

Lu Yuan looked at the dozen or so white-haired elders and sighed: “We now have experience dealing with the [Ghost], and we even have national treasure-level Researchers, we must not underestimate ourselves.”

“And then… it’s time to start a new era of biology!”
