The world enters the age of mythology.

Absolutely not bragging!

With the vigorous development of biology, other walks of life have also benefited.For example, in medicine, various intractable diseases may be better solved, and the average life expectancy of human beings will undoubtedly be extended; human organ printing technology has become more and more mature, and the use of stem cells to cultivate human organs is no longer a problem .

Another example is the emergence of the "Sakura" potion, which allows experts in various fields to better absorb knowledge.The use of this potion needs to pass a strict review, but as long as a few geniuses appear, it is enough to make the entire civilization take a big step forward!

In this huge change of the times, Lu Yiming was hesitating whether to sign up for the first "body strengthening potion" experiment.

He is naturally very excited about strengthening his body. Now that he can't beat Guo Weiqiang, the soldier under his command, he doesn't dare to yell at him anymore.

But he was a little hesitant. This potion came from the Baiwu civilization.Well, I didn't research it myself, and it's always a little unreliable from a security point of view.

In short, these two moods were mixed together, so he didn't know how to choose.

"Hey, Lily, I have something I want to ask you." He saw Jin Lili hurriedly passing by, and greeted her quickly.

"Why, you want to invite me to dinner again?" Jin Lili turned her head and said with a smile, "I'm very busy! Sister Yuan still has some things for me to do..."

Professor Yuan, who developed the x-enhanced potion, was extremely busy, and Jin Lili, as a team member, was working overtime every day, and she didn't see her once every three days.

Lu Yiming hasn't played with her for several days, but he misses her: "Well, if you want... I'll treat you to dessert? I just have a question and I want to ask you."

Chapter 198 The God of White Mist Civilization

Since it was Lu Yiming's invitation, Jin Lili was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Wait a minute, I'll use a text message to ask Sister Yuan for leave!"

The two came to a newly opened cafe, and she took a leisurely sip of coffee with an expression of enjoyment on her face.

The latest crop of beets is ripe enough to produce sugar, which in turn can be used to make desserts.The quality of life has been getting better and better recently.

Lu Yiming ordered some pastries and said with a smile: "You really made a lot of money... Now that the future is determined to be the era of biology, you should resign from the sheriff and work in research, right?"

"There is a real shortage of talents in this direction."

Jin Lili, who was sitting in front of her, nodded, carefully picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, saying, "Yeah, anyway, I'm not like you. Even if I have the ability to regenerate, no matter how thick my blood volume is, I can't compare to those A real monster, so think twice, just go behind the scenes and do scientific research..."

"Anyway, it's compatible with my university's major. By the way, I recently registered the invention patent of Jinlili brand potion. How much do you think it is worth?"

Lu Yiming couldn't help being a little funny: "If the production of that kind of wound medicine can be expanded, the valuation may be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. If it can't expand production, forget it, haha."

"Expansion of production...you're going to sell me! It's like in some science fiction novels, blood transfusion and bloodletting at the same time, right?"

"That's a good idea! After someone else's blood is injected into your body, does it have the ability to regenerate?"

Jin Lili stared, "Well, the cake here tastes good. You should try it too."

For her choice, Lu Yiming can still understand. It is also very good for a girl to do a little research work, and her contribution may not be lower than that of the front-line staff.

Women hold up half the sky too.

It's just that he feels a little regretful that he won't be able to sit and work in the same office in the future. After all, Lu Yiming only has this one female friend who is relatively easy to talk to.

From now on, I can only be in contact with a group of old men, and I feel a little dissatisfied when I think about it... But this kind of thinking is just thinking about it, and I will definitely not say it out of my mouth.

Jin Lili held her chin with one hand, looked out of the glass window, and seemed to be in a good mood: "With this scientific and technological information, our understanding of life science has greatly increased. Perhaps, those that were originally difficult to decipher The mechanism of the tricks can also be cracked."

"To give a few examples, why can my blood bring a certain regenerative ability? How can people regenerate limbs? What is the essence of human superpowers? How to enhance human mental resistance?"

"How to cultivate synthetic meat better and faster. The breeding industry of Yunhai is limited now, and meat products must be cultivated through scientific and technological means... These are very good research contents. If we study all these problems, Our days will definitely be better than they are now."

"The current results are just the beginning! Maybe there will be more scientific research output in the future."

Lu Yiming frowned and said: "If it's really that troublesome, why not check the laboratory again, there are still a lot of materials that haven't been moved out. The first time is born, and the second time is familiar, we also have some understanding of the monsters inside. Bring some Targeted weapons may be able to solve it calmly."

"This... probably won't work. There is no need for such a risk."

Jin Lili shook her head, "Let's not say that many monsters are only owned by our Yunhai. Like the blue potion that can regenerate a broken limb, it is extracted from the blood of many superpowers among the people on earth. Fog civilization is impossible to have, so it is impossible to have relevant research materials... In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves."

"What's more, we think that most of the information has already been moved out, and it may not be cost-effective to spend a few nuclear bombs and a large number of conventional weapons to enter the mainland for the second time."

"That's true."

Lu Yiming sighed, without the cover of nuclear weapons and various firepower weapons, it is too dangerous to go deep into the mainland.

Even if it is only a distance of 80 kilometers, it is still like a natural moat, difficult to cross.

This brings up the question of cost and benefit. Things like gasoline bombs can be barely supplemented because humans can grow plants and refine alcohol.

Powerful nuclear weapons and various high-power missiles cannot be replenished once they are used up.

If the cost is too high.The harvest is limited, and it is not worthwhile.

Jin Lili glanced at him, and said: "There is one more thing to tell you. According to the records of the White Mist Civilization, the monsters we encountered are only relatively low-level life forms, and they can be solved with missiles. It’s hard to say about ultra life forms.”

"How do you say? There are other super life forms?" Lu Yiming's breathing froze slightly.

She smiled and explained: "Among the materials of the White Mist civilization, there are also some scientists who are studying supernatural phenomena. They have a very strange saying that the appearance of the White Mist is likely to give birth to a supernatural life like a god. Body - Gaia!"

Lu Yiming said: "Gaia... do they have religious beliefs? They also have this word?"

"It should be a similar pronunciation. I don't know too well. Anyway, those translation experts translated it like this."

"Okay..." Lu Yiming was stunned, not knowing what to say, because this term also exists in some human myths and legends.

It is possible that the birth of the same noun is just a coincidence, or it may be a necessity in chance. For example, among thousands of languages ​​in the world, the pronunciation of "mother" is almost universal.

It's just that no one knows what the connection is for a while.

Jin Lili seemed to be thinking about the connection in the middle, and she said: "The White Mist Civilization has come to a conclusion through long-term observation: the life forms here can gain strength as long as they prey on each other and devour each other."

"Yes." Lu Yiming nodded.

"There are even second, third, and fourth evolutions..."

"Then after countless years, if we continue to eat each other, what will happen?"

She said word by word: "That is, the most powerful life form has appeared! That is Gaia!"

"No one knows what it will grow into. It is likely to be comparable to the gods in our imagination! It will have multiple supernatural abilities, and it may evolve wisdom beyond human beings! These are all possible!"

Following Jin Lili's description, Lu Yiming's face became more and more serious.

But I have to admit that the reasoning of the White Mist civilization is very reasonable, and there is such a possibility.

"Is there a god-like existence? In this way of appearance, it's really...creepy."

Jin Lili also sighed: "...so that in the end, the original residents here could hardly defeat the increasingly powerful monsters, so they could only flee with their whole family."

"According to the records in the literature, the monsters in the depths of the continent are much stronger than those on the seashore. Each creature is as big as a hill, with a mass of thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons. Every step is an earthquake. It’s unbelievable. If you don’t use nuclear weapons, you won’t be able to kill them at all.”

"That was decades ago, no one knows what it will look like now."

"Maybe the volume becomes bigger, and it can spray people to death with one breath."

"So most of the scholars in the lab think not to be too radical. The existing research materials are already quite rich. If we provoke a Godzilla-like existence with a mass of tens of thousands of tons, we will kill it. I can't afford it myself."

Lu Yiming nodded. Everyone knows that people's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, and it seems that it is indeed impossible to venture into it again.

It is impossible for people to expect everything to be provided by the White Mist civilization. There are always some things that need to be studied by themselves.

He asked again: "So, does the White Mist Civilization have any primitive religious records about the Gaia gods? The white mist should be regarded as a manifestation of spiritual power, right?"

"Of course there are... You can take a look at these materials." Jin Lili sent him something on the phone.

According to some primitive religious records of the White Mist Civilization, the original appearance of the world is a thick layer of white mist.

The white mist is the true origin of Gaia.

Born from the white mist, Gaia is the god who created everything and the only true god.

[The moon and the sun are the incarnations of Gaia, revolving around the planet. 】

Lu Yiming frowned, and found that there were all kinds of gibberish words in it, that is, primitive religions common on the earth, whose basic characteristics include mysterious concepts and prayers for food, reproduction, ancestors, death, all natural things, and social groups. worship, and thus develop the belief and worship of supernatural gods.

There are many fallacies in it, including "the sun revolves around the earth", which is obviously impossible.

"Rain is the tears of God", "White mist nourishes everything", "Gaia's body turns into the earth, and blood turns into rivers" and so on, it seems a bit inexplicable.Primitive religion itself is the interpretation of the world by the ancients, based on subjective consciousness.

Finally, there are various punishments for apostates, such as "turning into livestock in the next life", "going to hell and being punished" and so on.

The only difference is that this religion believes that for apostates, the Gaia gods will deprive people of their bodies, occupy their spirits, and reawaken on this land in the form of physical rebirth.

[At that time, the white mist will reappear, and the whole world will be re-established.Gaia will also reappear. 】

Lu Yiming frowned: "Well, this mythical story has a Cthulhu charm... Moreover, the facts that have happened in the White Mist Continent are actually somewhat consistent with these myths and legends? I can't help but think of our earth. The great flood in the world was actually prophesied by myths... Do you think that idealistic rules are at work."

"It is possible."

Chapter 199 Three months

Jin Lili ate a piece of pastry again, she was very satisfied with Lu Yiming's banquet this time, "Ah, I ate too much... I'm going to gain weight again. You are so disgusting, you always tempt me with delicious food!"

"It's you who eat so much, I don't care what I do... Oh, by the way, does the X element have a certain degree of supernatural properties? In mythology, it is the origin of everything... No wonder it can bring power, if it is true In this case, we really need to reserve more, maybe we can use it in the future.”

"Yes, but we don't know the specific mechanism yet. The X element is too mysterious. It only works on animals, not on plants. It even undergoes a series of changes due to people's subjective will."

Lu Yiming can only give up for the time being. Anyway, let the scientists worry about the topic of what the universe is like.It doesn't make much sense for him to be mediocre here alone.

He recalled the business this time: "Should I sign up for this enhanced drug experiment?"

"Of course..." Jin Lili showed two pointed canine teeth, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to become more powerful? Theoretically, this strengthening potion is quite safe. If you miss it, you will have to wait for several months! I think you have a character, so sign up, otherwise you will definitely regret it!"

"Besides, I can personally customize the service for you. How about it? Isn't it exciting? Don't worry, there's no problem!"

Lu Yiming swallowed, he was really moved, of course the main reason was Jin Lili's "customized service".

The use of x potion is quite complicated, so naturally it is not enough to give a few injections and then eat more food.Due to the different physical fitness of each person, there will be some slight changes in the composition of this medicine.Therefore, it is necessary to undergo a strict physical examination and a long-term follow-up investigation.

When he thought of his body being checked by Jin Lili, Lu Yiming became a little excited.

He quickly filled in his name in the online registration... The opportunity to play hooligans is not allowed to be missed.

Jin Lili saw this guy giggling "hehehe", and couldn't figure out what he was laughing about.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Strict physical examination, of course, is a very, very strict physical examination... even stricter than the medical examination for conscription?"

"Yeah, the whole body has to be checked."

Lu Yiming pretended to be nonchalant: "I heard that it seems that, probably, you will check two round things, and also check the size of that... It's great that you serve me personally, I Be very confident in yourself!"

Jin Lili blushed suddenly, as if thinking of something, she raised her leg and kicked Lu Yiming hard under the table.

"Smelly rascal, you've been thinking about flirting with girls all day long! Who will check two round things for you?!"

Lu Yiming laughed again: "I'm talking about eyes, eyes, what are you thinking about!"

yes……

This is a new era, boldly welcome this era!

……

Time passed quickly.

Three months have passed again, and the rapid development of the Sea of ​​Clouds is still in progress.

At the junction of the Yanghe River and the white mist continent, large and small transport ships are coming and going, and the air compressor is running, continuously pumping out thick white mist.

Extracting more X elements has become the largest and most important super project in recent months!

It is a bit risky to run to the vicinity of the White Mist Continent to extract the air. This place is quite far from the coastline, but no one can guarantee that monsters will rush out of the water, so every operation will bring a large number of soldiers And some superpowers related to investigation.

On the other hand, since a large number of experiments in the future will require the mysterious "X element", once people leave this continent, there is a high probability that people will not be able to return, so they can purify as much as they can, even if they take certain risks. worth it.

"Today is another day full of harvest!"

"Two cans of air this big are hundreds of tons in total, and they can purify a lot of X elements."

"Who says it's not... But I heard that the X element that can be extracted in the end is actually just so-so. Its proportion in the air is still quite low. It's probably only a few tens of kilograms."

Several staff members are bragging and farting above the deck. This work has been done for a long time, and they are repetitive every day, and they will feel bored.

Coupled with the fact that I haven't encountered any danger after working here for a few months, there will always be some relaxation of vigilance...

Of course, these are just regular skilled workers, and there is no need for them to be vigilant.Lu Yiming, Li Yao, Shi Dayong, Zhong Peng and others were all guarding the ships.

After the white mist is extracted into the iron tank, it will be brought back to the Sea of ​​Clouds for large-scale separation and purification.

Almost one ton of white mist can only extract less than 100 grams of effective substances, and the ratio is less than one ten thousandth.
