Chapter 623 Achievements of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences
"No wonder there are so many fifth-tier experts in the capital..."
After understanding the entire massive planting and breeding system beneath the capital, Cangnian nodded in sudden realization.
He had been wondering how the capital city could support so many fifth-tier powerhouses with such limited resources without undergoing large-scale expansion.
After all, before the second spiritual energy revival tide, the capital was only a few hundred kilometers away from Luzhou.
However, the capital city failed to find the survivors from Quancheng and bring them to the capital city.
Clearly, this evolutionary resource production line was built quite early, and the capital city had little need for territorial expansion.
Looking at it now, it turns out that they used technological means.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, the greatest resource for evolution has actually been the inexhaustible spiritual energy that is everywhere in the air.
The normal, instinctive absorption and refining of spiritual energy by evolved organisms is utterly insignificant compared to the almost infinite total amount of spiritual energy.
However, making use of this spiritual energy is not an easy task.
However, the capital city has a wealth of talent who use the methods that humans excel at to discover phenomena, find patterns, and master those patterns, turning the impossible into possible under natural circumstances.
The underground space of a mere city can be used to cultivate and evolve organisms in a targeted manner, forming a production chain that can make full use of the free spiritual energy and produce a large number of fifth-tier powerhouses.
Compared to the capital, it seems rather ridiculous that they are so complacent about finding a spirit stone mine that they couldn't use up by luck, which allowed them to cultivate more than a dozen fifth-tier experts.
Thinking of this, Cang Nian gave Yang Feng a deep look.
See how the capital city supports tens of millions of people, just like the demands I made earlier.
As a result, Yang Feng not only told about the existence of the base vegetable, but also about the existence of the milk mushroom and the fourth-order meat worm, revealing the key to how the capital city cultivates fifth-order powerhouses in large numbers.
Clearly, this was not his doing alone, or rather, it was the intention of the Yang Family Overlord Spear behind him.
Rather, it is the collective will of the entire capital's top leadership.
Perhaps, in their view, there was no need to hide these things from the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom.
But Cang Nian felt that this was more like a kind of intimidation imbued with absolute confidence.
Put yourself in their shoes: if a team with unprecedented strength suddenly joins the capital, it's reasonable to assume that this team will be invincible and act arrogantly.
"Hmm... I'm afraid this is also the little sable's fault..."
Thinking of this, Cangnian glanced at the little sable without making a sound.
The entire Ark was teleported directly to the skies above the capital, and even if it was only within the teleportation array's range, it was still a very high-profile move.
Faced with such a "high-profile" and "arrogant" team, if we don't give them a warning and a lesson, won't they turn the world upside down in the future?
Cang Nian was able to somewhat fathom the thoughts of the capital's top officials.
"Wouldn't the capital city then be able to easily cultivate fifth-tier powerhouses?"
"Aren't there probably already tens of thousands of fifth-tier cultivators by now?"
Cang Nian was filled with mixed emotions after hearing this news, but Bai Jue asked bluntly.
"It's not that easy!"
The current growth cycle of that fourth-order flesh worm is twenty-five days.
So far, we've only harvested four times.
In total, the number of fifth-tier powerhouses trained is only a little over one hundred!
Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
"More than a hundred fifth-tier individuals!"
Upon hearing this news, all the powerful figures of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom were shocked.
The Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, through sheer luck, evolved more than a dozen fifth-tier soldiers, which was already quite powerful at this stage.
As it turned out, the strength of the capital city far exceeded that of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom!
"Aren't things like base vegetables, milk mushrooms, and meat worms all things that can be cultivated easily?"
Given this, why not expand the scale of planting and breeding?
Wouldn't this allow us to train more fifth-tier evolvers?
Bai Jue continued to ask, still puzzled.
It's not that simple!
The growing conditions for the base vegetable are indeed not difficult, and you can plant as much as you want.
But this thing is afraid of light and will die if it encounters strong light.
So we didn't turn on the lights the whole way down.
Even if the transport trucks get in, they can only work in the dark with the lights off.
Fortunately, it's not completely devoid of light.
For ordinary people, spending a long time underground will allow them to see roughly what's going on, so it doesn't significantly affect their work.
Milk mushrooms, on the other hand, require a high level of moisture in the air.
If there is insufficient water, it will not die, but its growth rate will be greatly reduced.
As for the fourth-tier flesh worms...
Because the fused genes are very mixed, they have lost the ability to reproduce on their own.
Only the fifth-order mother, born by accident, has the ability to reproduce.
However, this creature is very delicate; it will refuse to ovulate if the environment is not comfortable.
The Academy of Agricultural Sciences tried many times, but they were unable to replicate this prototype.
It took us quite a while to figure out how to get it to start ovulating stably.
It does release a considerable number of eggs, but it undergoes a metamorphosis during the transition from the third to the fourth stage.
It will regenerate from a large, fat worm's cocoon, and it will take about two and a half days to emerge from the cocoon.
It transformed into a flying insect with impressive speed, strength, and defense among fourth-tier creatures.
Ordinary fourth-tier evolved beings are no match for it.
However, this process is different from that of other evolved organisms.
Other evolved creatures will not be in any danger from the third to the fourth stage.
However, there is a high probability that these fleshy worms will fail to break through to the next stage.
Those who succeed emerge from their cocoons, while those who fail perish.
But if you break open the cocoon, it will turn into a pool of juicy meat inside.
If this meat juice is processed, it can also yield a batch of Tier 3 evolution potions.
In the end, it's not too wasteful.
For the time being, this kind of flesh worm is already the fastest breed that can be cultivated in the capital to evolve to the fourth tier.
There are still many drawbacks, and further development is needed.
If we wait for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to improve its practices and develop new varieties, things might improve.
That's why we haven't produced as many fifth-tier evolvers as you might imagine.
Yang Feng had no intention of taking Cang Nian and his group to the worm farming area; instead, he described it out of thin air.
Cangnian could understand this.
After all, we had just arrived in the capital and didn't really know the situation well.
Having things like base vegetables and milk mushrooms, which can be propagated at will, makes you look grand, confident, and composed.
However, that fleshy worm mother body is the key to cultivating fifth-tier evolvers in the capital, and it was born unexpectedly, so there is no clue how to replicate it.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal and prudent not to let his group of more than a dozen fifth-tier experts visit such an important place.
“How pitiful…”
Upon hearing this, the sensitive little ferret unconsciously murmured something.
It doesn't think that humans eating other evolved organisms to advance their evolutionary level is particularly cruel.
The thought that a fifth-order evolved creature, capable of human speech and possessing a high level of intelligence, was being kept in captivity to lay eggs, knowing full well that its offspring would be killed when they matured, made it somewhat uncomfortable.
"Cough cough, don't worry."
Before cultivating these varieties, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences deliberately suppressed their brain development.
Even at the fifth level, their intelligence is only that of an ordinary animal before the revival of spiritual energy.
Insects, in particular, tend to have lower intelligence, and may even be less intelligent.
Yang Feng quickly explained.
