Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

While enjoying a hearty breakfast, he also picked up his phone and started reading today's news.

"Three more base cities have been completed. The joint military operation of the five countries has made significant progress. A large number of mutated creatures have been eliminated. The prices of food made from mutated creatures, as well as various daily necessities, may be greatly affected."

He had already learned about this information beforehand, and in much more detail than the governments of various countries.

Because Lingxiao Palace's information channels are ten or even a hundred times more powerful than those of any country's government, any member of Lingxiao Palace with certain permissions can apply for and receive technical support from the artificial intelligence 'Lingxiao'.

This kind of technological support is far more powerful than methods like GPS.

Therefore, for members of Lingxiao Palace, the best way to obtain information is to enhance their functional authority, which will allow them to directly obtain the latest and most important information.

He directly operated on his phone: "Lingxiao, turn on smart mode and broadcast all important information within my permissions via voice."

"Ding--"

"Intelligent System Lingxiao is at your service. Service recipient: Kudo Shinichi. Position: Government Liaison Officer, Senior Inspector of Lingxiao Palace. He possesses C-level privileges. Important information within his privileges will be broadcast to you shortly."

After two years, the capabilities of the artificial intelligence Lingxiao have grown tremendously, which is the strongest technological support for martial artists.

Regardless of the dangerous environment, as long as it is within the Earth's boundaries, it can achieve interpersonal connectivity, obtain various data support, plan suitable routes at any time, and can be carried on any electronic device.

Of course, having dedicated hardware will provide stronger support.

It's practically like having a personal satellite with you!

With this, the actions of martial artists have become much easier, and friction between them has been reduced. Thanks to Lingxiao's data support, various incidents of friction, criminal cases in the wild, and cases of robbery and theft have all been greatly reduced.

Once you hunt a mutated creature, it belongs entirely to you. You don't have to worry about it being robbed or stolen, and your safety is absolutely guaranteed.

Therefore, martial artists from various countries flocked to Lingxiao Palace to become nominal martial artists.

Of course, there were quite a few who officially joined!

"The Five Nations Joint Command issued a notice that it will launch another operation called 'Spring Offensive' in one month, to carry out a large-scale extermination operation against mutated creatures in the border region between China and Russia, and to completely stabilize this area."

"The two countries will send 23,000 martial arts masters, as well as 37 spirit martial arts masters, and a large amount of advanced weaponry and equipment."

"Your friend Hattori Heiji will be taking the Lingxiao Palace's test today. If he passes, he will become the fifteenth Inspector under the Lingxiao Palace's Neon Branch."

"what?"

Struggling to swallow the food in his mouth, Shinichi Kudo paused, then exclaimed, "I almost forgot, today is the patrol officer assessment! Luckily, it's not too late yet!"

The positions in Lingxiao Palace are divided as follows: Palace Master, also known as Miyazaki Yu.

Then there are the branch ministers. Each branch minister can oversee a branch, and all gene warriors who join Lingxiao Palace in the entire country are subject to the control of the branch ministers.

Next comes the Inspector. The position of Inspector is very special, and the number of Inspectors is not fixed. They have the authority to inspect the area and are directly responsible to the Palace Master, namely Miyazaki Hare, and are not subject to the control of the branch department head.

Chapter 818 The Development and Technological Upgrade of Lingxiao Palace

Below the Inspector is the Patrol Inspector.

Although the inspector does not have the same level of authority as the supervisor, he is still subject to the jurisdiction of the department head.

However, in reality, the power of the inspector was not small, and could even be described as great!

If we consider the branch ministers as division commanders, then each senior inspector is equivalent to the commander of an independent regiment.

It can also be understood this way: the branch minister manages the affairs of all Lingxiao Palace members in a country, while the senior inspector manages a province, the intermediate inspector manages a city, and the junior inspector manages a district or county!

This shows that in just two years, Lingxiao Palace has made rapid progress, extending its reach to the district and county levels.

Just like the Spirit Hall in a certain continent, it has extended its tentacles to various counties and cities, bringing tremendous influence.

This influence is both invisible and tangible; it is subtle and gradual.

When everyone becomes accustomed to the existence of Lingxiao Palace and takes pride in joining, the terrifying influence it will have will be immeasurable.

Governments around the world are extremely wary of this and have tried various methods to win over martial artists and cultivate martial artists exclusively for their governments.

However, it was to no avail. The reason was simple: although the government was large, the martial arts resources it could provide were far inferior to those of the Lingxiao Palace, which monopolized all high-level martial artists in the world.

Having a high-level martial artist allows one to hunt down a large number of advanced mutated creatures. The body materials of these mutated creatures are the best resources for martial artists, and these materials can be used to forge various armors and weapons.

The flesh and blood of mutated creatures are also the best food for martial artists; consuming more of them can increase strength and enhance genetic energy.

Then there are martial arts skills and techniques.

Miyazaki Yu's realm is incredibly powerful. With his superior understanding, he can easily organize a large number of cultivation methods from the cultivation techniques he has comprehended.

For example, the mimicry cultivation method he created, after simplification, is based on the specific animal being mimicked, with each animal representing a different method. Adding some advanced methods for cultivating genetic energy, it becomes more than ten cultivation techniques.

Then there are hundreds of sword techniques. He organized the sword techniques he created in the early stages of his cultivation, which resulted in hundreds of sword techniques.

Each of these sword techniques is extremely exquisite; any one of them would be enough for a martial artist to cultivate for a lifetime. If one were to truly cultivate them to the level of perfection and reach the Spirit Martial Realm, it wouldn't be impossible.

Then there are some movement techniques, footwork, hidden weapons, and some body-refining methods.

In Miyazaki Yu's view, these were just some basic things, but when added up, they could be counted as thousands of techniques and battle records.

He then ranked these techniques according to their strength and difficulty, and set different prices or contribution points for them.

Although some of these techniques were only beginner-level in Miyazaki Yu's eyes, they were still considered divine skills by this group of people who had only recently become martial artists and had no prior experience.

Therefore, all things considered, Lingxiao Palace is far more attractive to martial artists than the government.

Therefore, although the government is doing its best to cultivate and compete for some talented martial artists.

However, the results were less than satisfactory. All countries knew that as long as Miyazaki Yu, this mountain weighing on everyone's heads, remained, no one could shake the position of Lingxiao Palace, nor could they stop its development.

Furthermore, through long-term coexistence, the attitudes of various countries towards Lingxiao Palace have also undergone subtle changes.

There is only one reason: they have become increasingly dependent on it.

In all kinds of battles, the high-end combat power of Lingxiao Palace is indispensable. Moreover, Lingxiao Palace's organizational ability is really strong. For some local governments, asking the army and higher authorities for help takes a long time and is slow. By the time the rescuers arrive, it's too late.

It is precisely because of these complex reasons that countries have become increasingly dependent on Lingxiao Palace, which has led to its rapid growth and it is now getting closer and closer to becoming an independent political entity.

This is similar to Fleet International in The Three-Body Problem. As long as an organization can attract enough people and make them genuinely accept the status of a political entity, then the name of that political entity becomes secondary.

Whether it's called a nation, a tribe, an organization, or a fleet international, they are all essentially the same.

The key is to have enough organizational and personnel identification for the organization to truly exist.

After quickly shoveling down a few mouthfuls of rice and changing his clothes, he hurriedly left the house.

At this moment, a small airship was already waiting at the door.

This is also one of Lingxiao Palace's products. It is an airship that uses controlled nuclear fusion as its energy source and can reach speeds of Mach 3.5!

With the immense computing power and learning capabilities of the artificial intelligence Lingxiao, learning existing technologies, while not instantaneous, is still a breeze.

Furthermore, Miyazaki Yu's powerful mental strength allows him to focus on hundreds of thousands of things at once, making his efficiency unparalleled.

Furthermore, the simulation effect of the memory palace can be used in martial arts, and of course, it can also be used in technology. Other scientists may need to spend a lot of manpower and resources to verify a certain hypothesis, and if they are not careful, it will cause huge losses and consumption.

However, for Miyazaki Yu, there is almost no cost. Moreover, to verify a conjecture, all it takes is a thought, a few hundred thousand distractions, and any complex device or idea can be verified in just a few seconds.

Just like the powerful beings in prehistoric fantasy novels who can predict the future, he can also use the combination of memory palace, multitasking, and artificial intelligence to complete unimaginable simulations and deductions.

Another extremely important point is collecting ideas.

Because the current artificial intelligence Lingxiao can monitor all people and all electronic devices in the world, it can record and collect all the inspirations and ideas in the world.

Some brilliant ideas are actually just a flash of inspiration from someone.

However, ordinary people simply have no way to realize these brilliant ideas; they only think of them, but the gap between them and actual implementation is enormous.

However, Miyazaki Yu can easily verify these brilliant ideas by collecting them!

This allowed him to practically harness the wisdom of all humankind for his own use!

Therefore, many scientific problems that were once insurmountable for all mankind were easily solved by Miyazaki Hayao, such as controlled nuclear fusion technology.

This major problem that has plagued humanity for a century was easily solved in his hands, and he quickly achieved miniaturization and mass production, then applied this technology to people's lives.

This completely solved the energy problem, causing global energy prices to plummet and then rapidly collapse.

Many countries that have become wealthy by relying on energy resources have suddenly found that their energy resources have become worthless.

With a sufficient energy supply, various projects around the world made great progress, and people's living standards improved dramatically.

The airship that Shinichi Kudo uses is just the civilian version. The high-end models can even reach Mach 12, which is comparable to the most advanced fighter jets.

It was thanks to the data support from the artificial intelligence Lingxiao that, otherwise, at such high speeds, if the air route had been slightly off, it would have been reduced to dust.

There has also been tremendous progress in many other areas of technology.

Chapter 819 Changes in Everyone

Another important technology is genetic engineering, which is even more important than controlled nuclear fusion.

With this technology, crop yields have increased dramatically.

Because agricultural products can achieve maximum output after being genetically modified, many crops are not only drought-resistant and flood-resistant, but also pest-resistant. Even more impressively, they can grow only fruit and no leaves.

Moreover, the growth cycle has been greatly reduced. Many crops that require at least several months to grow can be harvested in just two weeks.

Especially with the almost limitless energy brought by controlled nuclear fusion, these crops can be illuminated with full-spectrum lighting in greenhouses, which is far more powerful than photosynthesis from sunlight.

Therefore, in summary, technology is also the cornerstone of Lingxiao Palace's rapid development.

Leaving aside other technologies, these two technologies alone brought unimaginable wealth to Lingxiao Palace.

Although Miyazaki Yu did not keep his skills to himself and transferred some of his technology to improve the lives of people in various countries, he made a fortune from patent fees.

Moreover, Lingxiao Palace also controls the world's largest trade in mutated biological materials, and the profits from this are astonishing.

Therefore, Lingxiao Palace at this time is truly richer than a country. It has been estimated that, in terms of economic strength alone, the wealth that Lingxiao Palace currently controls is even comparable to that of the United States and China!

Because of these changes, although the world is under threat from mutated creatures, the survival problems of the people have been reasonably solved, and the cost of living has been greatly reduced.

The lives of people all over the world have entered an unprecedented period of prosperity.

Without further ado, I hopped on my beloved little motorboat and started it up. The motorboat automatically followed the route designed by the artificial intelligence Lingxiao and flew quickly toward its destination.

Although he had flown this flight countless times, the feeling of enjoying extreme speed still captivated him.

"Only two years have passed, but it feels like decades have gone by. It's truly amazing."

The airship's supersonic speed of Mach 3.5 means that the journey from Beika Town to Osaka takes only a dozen minutes.

We quickly arrived at the Ryoshoku branch in Osaka. What came into view was an extremely magnificent high-rise building. The overall color was light blue, and it looked grand and magnificent, yet it also had a strong sense of technology, which was pleasing to the eye.
