National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

On Blue Star, and in other parts of the Dragon Kingdom, the nights began to change!

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The clouds in the sky were no longer leaden gray, but instead displayed a long-lost inky black color.

"Tick-tock".

A drop of cold liquid landed on the young man's face.

He instinctively shrank his neck, thinking it was acid rain that could corrode his skin again.

But the raindrop slid down his face and into the corner of his mouth.

There was no burning sensation.

Yes, there is a hint of sweetness, carrying the fragrance of earth.

The young man, his hands trembling, reached up to the sky.

The rain poured down.

"It's fresh water...it's clean water!!"

At the same time, in major cities of the Dragon Kingdom.

Countless people opened their windows and even rushed into the streets.

Some people held pots and pans, while others opened their mouths wide, greedily swallowing this gift from the heavens.

"Waaaah...we don't have to drink filtered, recycled water anymore!"

……

Pearl River Basin Monitoring Station.

The red warning light suddenly went out and turned into a soft green light.

"Admin! Look at the data!!"

The young technician pointed at the screen, his voice trembling.

The river, which was originally black, smelly, and viscous, with dead fish floating belly up, was now clear and rippling after being washed by the torrential rain.

On the screen, the chemical indicators were plummeting.

Heavy metal content: zero.

pH: 7.2 (neutral).

The stationmaster pinched his thigh hard, wincing in pain: "Quick! Report to the Central Committee! The Pearl River... is alive!"

……

Northeast China, formerly known as the Great Northern Granary.

This area was once so barren due to over-exploitation and acid rain erosion that the land became hardened like iron.

But at this moment, the rainwater seeped into the ground, and the originally grayish-white soil began to turn black, becoming oily and shiny.

Miraculously, tender green shoots sprouted from the roots of a long-dead shelterbelt.

"Report! Farmland activity has partially recovered!"

"This means...we can grow food! We can grow real rice and wheat!"

The former minister of agriculture, with tears streaming down his face, bowed deeply to the photo displayed on the screen.

"Child...you are extending the lives of 1.4 billion people!"

……

These miraculous events were laid bare before the world through global live streaming.

The comments on foreign websites were filled with sour grapes.

"Fuck! Why? Just because they got first place?"

"God, look at our Thames! It's still a stinking ditch! I want a drink of clean water too..."

The camera then shifts to India.

Countless people are soaking in the Ganges River, which is filled with garbage and floating corpses, praying for divine protection.

This stark contrast completely shattered the defenses of foreign viewers who had previously mocked the Chinese for their "womanly compassion" in saving their teammates.

"The air in Dragon Kingdom is sweet, while we're still breathing in exhaust fumes! Why did that idiot Roland have to go pick up diamonds?!"

"Can you eat diamonds? Can you drink them? I want to immigrate to China!"

Just as the world was in an uproar, the official Chinese government released a powerful announcement:

Effective immediately, the Dragon Kingdom launches the "Nationwide Reclamation of Agriculture Plan."

This is just the beginning. As long as our players continue to fight, the Dragon Kingdom will surely return to the pinnacle of Earth's ecosystem!

These words inspired every Chinese person!

……

The revelry belongs to the outside world.

In the highest academy of sciences in the Dragon Kingdom, there is a secret chamber with the highest authority.

A tense and solemn atmosphere permeated the air.

Inside the constant-temperature incubation room, Dr. Chen and a group of top biologists were intently watching the special incubator.

Inside the box lay two eggs that weren't very big.

That was the first day of the survival game. Zhang Li used the system's "material manifestation" function to sacrifice the Shu Dragon Egg he had brought back.

"Click."

A crisp cracking sound rang out...

A small hole appeared in the eggshell, and a wet, grayish-brown little head popped out.

It shook the slime off its head and opened its eyes.

"hiss--"

The little guy let out a low chirp, like a bird call.

"It's out! The first live dinosaur!"

"It is about 40 centimeters long, with a relatively short neck and a small bony mallet at the end of its tail..."

Dr. Chen was so excited that his face turned red, and he immediately gave the order:

"Quickly! Perform a full-scale scan! Establish a gene bank! This is priceless!"

Just as everyone was busy, the laboratory door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man with messy hair strode in.

He is Dr. Wang, a leading figure in neuroengineering in China.

He didn't have the genetic report in his hand.

Instead, he was holding a top-secret document titled "Feasibility Report on Prehistoric Biological Neural Connections".

He walked straight up to the decision-maker who was already waiting there.

"Decision-makers, I don't recommend treating them merely as biological sample studies."

Dr. Wang's eyes were filled with fervor as he pointed at the Shu dragon cub that had just stood up in the incubator.

"Dinosaurs, perfect killing machines. Thick-skinned and incredibly strong."

"But God is fair; He gave them strong bodies, but also a relatively primitive brain."

Dr. Wang turned on the holographic projector, and a complex anatomical diagram of a dinosaur brain appeared.

"Compared to the complex human cerebral cortex, the neural circuits of dinosaurs were as simple as a one-way street."

"This means...they are more easily 'hijacked' than mammals."

The decision-maker's gaze sharpened: "Get to the point."

Dr. Wang took a deep breath and put forward the concept that could change the course of the battle:

Brain-computer interface technology (BCI).

"We began researching this technology a hundred years ago. Our experiments on primates are now very mature."

"By implanting a micro-biochip into the motor cortex of a dinosaur's brain and stimulating it with specific electrical signals, we can bypass its will and directly control its body!"

"Even a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex, after being implanted with a chip, will become the most obedient soldier. If you tell it to go east, it would never dare to go west!"

Upon hearing this, all the scientists present gasped in shock.

The scope has been broadened.

If this technology succeeds, Chinese athletes will no longer be mere hunters in the prehistoric world, but rather...

Commander!

Imagine Zhang Li riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex controlled by a chip, followed by a fully armed Triceratops army, sweeping through a seventeen-nation coalition...

That's like a game-changer!

The decision-maker looked at the report, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and asked the most crucial question:

"What are the technical challenges? Can they be applied to Zhang Li's project immediately?"

Dr. Wang adjusted his glasses, his tone becoming serious:

"Thanks to the rare earth elements contributed by contestant Zhang Li, we now have readily available chips, and through computer analysis, the technical logic has also been successfully implemented."

"However, there are no actual dinosaurs to use for experiments! Now, only the final live clinical trials remain for verification!"

"The difficulty lies in—implantation."

"This requires craniotomy. And it must be done while the dinosaur was still alive, so as not to damage the core brain region."

"This requires extremely high surgical skills, and... anesthesia."

The decision-maker nodded.

"The situation in the dinosaur world is urgent. You need to accelerate your research and mass-produce these chips as soon as possible."

"This time, let's send the experimental chip over first! After all, the dinosaur world is constantly changing!"
