I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 382 The Dramatic Change of Times

Not long after, Xia Yuan saw Professor Wang, who looked haggard, in the laboratory.

"You came just in time. If you were any later, I would have sent someone to notify you!"

When he saw Xia Yuan, Professor Wang couldn't help but feel relieved.

He is indeed more anxious than Xia Yuan now.

Because the original 500 source crystals have almost been used up!
Xia Yuan smiled.

"Professor Wang, please don't exhaust yourself. You should get more rest."

"I am fine."

Professor Wang waved his hand.

Since he had taken the origin potion left by Xia Yuan last time, his body is currently in good health.

It's just that he has hardly had any rest during this period, so he looks more haggard.

Xia Yuan also noticed this, so he just said a few words casually.

Next, Professor Wang began to talk about the main topic.

"We cultivated a total of 8000 spiritual plants this time, and about survived."

"Among them, there are about 3500 dragon blood trees and winter rubescens plants, 3000 purple cloud flowers, 500 pure heart grass plants used for spiritual rejuvenation, and the rest add up to about 1000 plants in total."

Xia Yuan was not surprised to hear that the survival rate of spiritual plant cultivation was only 80%.

For such a large-scale cultivation, such a high survival rate is already very good.

Among these spiritual plants, the Qingxin grass used to make spiritual power potions is the most difficult to cultivate.

The next are Dracaena and Rubesia rubescens, which have more stringent environmental requirements.

As for spiritual plants such as purple cloud flowers, which have very strong vitality, their survival rate is quite high, and it can be said that there are almost no failures in cultivation.

This is also the reason why there are the most purple cloud flowers in the end!
"There's one more thing I need to tell you."

Suddenly, Professor Wang said seriously:
"So far, the Purple Cloud Flower has taken the longest time to cultivate among all spiritual plants."

"We found that after the purple cloud flower reaches two years old, its subsequent growth begins to slow down significantly."

"It can be said that it has almost come to a standstill."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Will increasing the source energy concentration cause any changes?"

Professor Wang nodded.

"Yes, we have tried placing it in an environment with ten source crystals, but the effect is still not very obvious. It is a world of difference compared to the beginning."

"I think it has reached maturity. If it wants to grow further, it will most likely need to undergo another transformation, just like when it first transformed from an ordinary plant into a spiritual plant."

"However, we are still unsure whether the condition that prompts its transformation is a higher concentration of source energy, or whether other conditions are required. These will require some time to study."

Having said this, Professor Wang paused for a moment before continuing:
"Also, with the vitality currently contained in the Purple Cloud Flower, if it were to be made into a potion, it would only be a Level 5 Origin Potion at best."

"As for the higher level 6, the current Purple Cloud Flower is completely incapable of meeting the requirements."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan frowned.

Of course, he knew about the classification of extraordinary potions.

The first is the energy contained in a certain volume of medicine, and the second is the strength of the energy factor.

To put it bluntly, one is quality and the other is quantity.

Before the third-level potion, the quality is the same.

The quality begins to change from level four.

Therefore, even if the quantity of the fourth-level origin potion is small, it can only be used by those in the Transcendent Realm.

The fourth-level origin potion requires purple cloud flowers that have grown for at least eight months to be produced.

This is why the demand for source energy concentration increased a lot after the growth cycle of the purple cloud flower reached eight months.

Of course, the time it takes for each plant to metamorphose is different.

For example, the Qingxin grass used to make mental potions has a longer transformation cycle.

But the blooming period of the purple cloud flower is not fixed at eight months. It is just based on the constant source energy concentration environment of the current experimental base.

Different source energy concentrations can increase or shorten this time.

According to the source energy concentration standard currently used in the experimental base, eight months of growth can produce a level 4 source potion, and two years of growth can produce a level 5 source potion.

As for the higher level 6, Professor Wang just said that it cannot be produced!
"It seems that the Level 4 and 5 potions are probably for the Transcendent Realm, while the Level 6 potions onwards are most likely for the Unity Realm."

Xia Yuan lowered his head in thought, muttering to himself.

"Then when you reach level 8 or 9, it is very likely that the spiritual plant will need to undergo another transformation."

"I think the only potion that would have a significant effect on me would be a level 8 or 9 potion."

"only."

Currently, even level 6 potions cannot be developed, let alone the higher level 9!

Moreover, as the level of the potion increases, the difficulty of making it will increase exponentially.

For example, the difficulty of making a level 123 potion is not on the same level as that of making a level 4 potion.

This is also why the difference in contribution points required to exchange for level 4, 20, and potions is not much, while the level potion requires contribution points at once.

"Perhaps with the current level of human technology, it is impossible to produce a level 6 potion."

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Humankind’s exploration of the extraordinary has just begun, and there is still a long way to go in the future.

It is not known how long it will take for extraordinary items to be produced that can help him.

After pondering for a few seconds, Xia Yuan took out ten white crystals.

These crystals are almost exactly the same as the previous source crystals, except that they are slightly larger and more crystal clear.

As soon as Professor Wang saw this thing, his eyes immediately lit up.

Although he could not feel the source energy yet, due to the long time he had been experimenting with the source crystal, he could still feel the extraordinary nature of this crystal.

"Is this a source crystal?"

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded.

"That's right, but the difference from before is that the source energy contained in this source crystal is more concentrated."

"Take this high-level source crystal and do an experiment to see if it can promote the transformation of mature spiritual plants."

"it is good!"

Professor Wang's face was filled with joy, as he hadn't been able to find a better solution for some time.

Now that we have this high-level source crystal, we can determine whether the spiritual plant can continue to transform!
"These spiritual plants are now ready for transplantation and can be transplanted at any time."

"If you want a transplant, just go directly to Minister Xie."

Having said that, Professor Wang no longer cared about Xia Yuan and walked straight to the experimental area with 10 high-level source crystals.

"Hurry up, adjust the source energy concentration from now on and recalculate the data."

Looking at Professor Wang starting to devote himself to research again, Xia Yuan's mouth twitched. Isn't this too impatient?
Don’t you need to rest, old man?
Shaking his head, he stopped disturbing everyone and turned to leave the research base.

As for the matter of spiritual plant transplantation, of course the students of the academy cannot be held responsible.

They currently have no idea how to transplant this thing.

So it has to be left to the researchers.

After the transplant is completed, Nangong Hong and others will be needed to take care of it!
However, by then, they will still need people from the College of Science and Technology to give them basic theoretical courses.

This is also part of the cultural curriculum.

"I don't know when those people will be able to advance to the second level of body forging."

It has been nearly a month since school started.

According to the current progress of cultivation, not everyone may be able to enter the second level of body strengthening in the remaining two months.

It was quite dangerous to touch spiritual plants without reaching the second level of physical forging. The researchers at the experimental base were now required to wear protective clothing when caring for the dragon blood trees and winter rubescens.

"Let's go find Minister Xie first to learn about the recent situation, and then have him arrange the spiritual plant transplantation!"

Shaking his head, Xia Yuan didn't think any more and turned into a stream of light and quickly headed towards Zhongzhou.

"What's that? A shooting star?"

This scene was seen by many people in the experimental base!
"Idiot, can your meteor fly from the ground to the sky?"

Most of the people who asked this question had just arrived at the experimental base not long ago.

They knew of the existence of extraordinary people, but had never seen one.

Not to mention the extraordinary people who can fly!

"What about just now?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of respect flashed in the eyes of those who had met Xia Yuan before.

"If my guess is correct, that streak of light just now should be the Source Ancestor."

"Could it not be some other extraordinary being?"

"In this world today, I guess only the Source Ancestor has such great power!"

The man shook his head, and then a look of confidence appeared on his face.

"And what do you think this place is?"

“Without the permission of the Human Union and the Origin Ancestor, even extraordinary people cannot come here casually.”

That’s right, it is currently the most important scientific research base for mankind.

The security level here is absolutely top-notch.

In fact, with the current defense level of the research base, even a transcendent who is not at the Guiyi realm cannot get close to it.

Anyone who dares to enter the Transcendent Realm without permission will only end up dead.

Even if the highest level of defense measures were used, ordinary strong men in the Guiyi realm would suffer a bitter defeat.

Do you really think modern weapons are just for show?
Of course, as the extraordinary people become stronger in the future, this research base will definitely be guarded by top extraordinary people.

It is because this place is too important and any safety hazards are absolutely not allowed to occur.

"So, I actually missed the chance to meet the Source Ancestor."

Some people looked regretful.

"Don't even think about it. With the power of the Source Ancestor, even if he were standing right next to you, you might not be able to see him."

The man smiled and continued:

"Okay, let's start the experiment. Instead of thinking about these things, why not think about how to research a project?"

"By then, you will naturally have the opportunity to become extraordinary people, and won't you have more chances to meet the Source Ancestor?"

After hearing this, someone asked suspiciously:

"Old Yang, how do you know so much about Yuanzu? Have you ever seen him?"

Hearing this, the man called Lao Yang smiled but said nothing.

He was one of the people chosen to become a transcendent this time.

In fact, this position originally belonged to Professor Wang, but because Professor Wang gave up on becoming a transcendent, it finally fell to Yang Yuchen, who also played a huge role in the field of spiritual plant research.

As for the five people from the College of Science and Technology, each of them will receive 5 to 10 bottles of Origin Potion before they start practicing.

The specific amount needs to be divided according to the level of the project.

This is also preferential treatment for talents in the field of science and technology.

After all, their physical fitness is relatively poor, so these are also to enable them to lay a better foundation.

Of course, it is definitely unrealistic to want to improve your physical fitness to the same level as Nangong Hong and others just by taking the origin potion.

To put it bluntly, the origin potion only increases the upper limit of qi and blood. If you really want to improve your physical fitness, you still need long-term exercise.

But after using these origin potions, they can at least narrow the gap a little, so that it won't be so difficult at the beginning of practice.

It is definitely easier for people from the School of Science and Technology to obtain contribution points than those from the School of Extraordinary Studies.

Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be difficult for them to cultivate to the point of cultivation.

As for whether you can finally awaken and how far you can go after awakening, that depends on the individual!
……

the other side.

Xia Yuan had no idea what people at the research base were saying about him.

At this moment, he has arrived in Zhongzhou.

The most common news he heard on the way was interstellar travel.

All major news media are also promoting this news extensively.

Obviously, the authorities have leaked the news that humans will be able to enter the sky soon!
"So fast?"

Xia Yuan was a little surprised.

It's just in the experimental stage now.

If we really want to enable ordinary people to travel in space, it will take at least several years or even more than ten years.

Although having source energy as the power system will greatly reduce costs.

But for ordinary people, this is still a considerable expense.

And if we want to realize interplanetary travel, we must first establish a base, right?
Besides, the amount of source crystals that Xia Yuan allocated to the Human Association is actually not that many.

It is obviously unrealistic for this source crystal to be used on a large scale by the public.

What's more, with the improvement of current regulations and systems, any research project needs to be approved first.

Once the budget exceeds the People's Federation's annual budget, Xia Yuan will have to make the final decision.

Xia Yuan would not give so many source crystals for such a thing for nothing.

Unless the Forgotten Star Domain is unlocked, source energy technology will never be widely used in daily life.

No matter how saintly Xia Yuan is, she can't afford so much resource consumption!

Who can stand this?

"Minister Xie, why are people everywhere discussing interstellar travel?"

After meeting Xie Xuan, Xia Yuan directly asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Let me make this clear first. I won't approve any project that requires so many contribution points."

"If we really take out so many source crystals, the path to transcendence will be directly interrupted."

Hearing this, Xie Xuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You think too much!"

"This news is just to inform the public of our research progress and increase everyone's confidence in the future."

"After all, only a few people can become extraordinary. Technology is something that can truly be popularized to everyone."

"In addition, we are also prepared to use this opportunity to gradually improve public awareness."

"We can also take this opportunity to speed up the reform of our education system."

"Otherwise, based on the previous pace, it would have taken hundreds of years. We are striving to complete the reform within 20 to 30 years."

“Only when people understand the benefits of changing times can they be full of hope for the future.”

Hearing this, Xia Yuan fell silent.

indeed.

Although this is the general trend of the times, for countless ordinary people.

A speck of dust from the times is like a mountain falling on everyone's shoulders.

He still considered too little, and was far less thorough than Minister Xie and the others.
