"This is really quite a headache of a problem, isn't it just like playing tug-of-war between a human neck and a beam?"
Ansheng grumbled with a face full of exasperation.
Although Li Wenkang was saying to call for the complete termination and sealing of the corpse revival experiment in the video meeting next week.
But from Li Wenkang's expression, Ansheng could see Old Li showing a speechless, yet helpless look.
Indeed, a treasure mountain is right before us, and by simply using the fungal prosthesis passed down from the dragon-man, we could certainly acquire all research materials of the Second Epoch, including detailed intelligence on Spirit Particle organisms, and even some theoretical speculations on the extraterrestrial Spirit Particle origins.
However.
Theoretically, yes, but doing so requires the precious state treasure-level [fungal prosthesis], and combining Dragon People with black fungi carries unknown risks.
Li Wenkang is clearly a pragmatic person, having witnessed part of the black fungal giant tree's abilities, he also has to ask himself: Is paying such a price worth it?
As a researcher, naturally, it is worth it, a slight finger movement could save a hundred years of detours.
But Li Wenkang is more than a researcher, he is also one of the high-level officials of the Security Bureau, and from a broader perspective, paying such a price is unbearably extreme.
The black fungal giant tree merely produces hydrogen gas, but what if it synthesizes some toxic substances and spreads them through the air across a city, or even an entire province?
"In a tug-of-war between a human neck and a beam, the only possibility before victory is that the person hangs dead on the rope." Li Wenkang sighed and said:
"Although we yearn for it, it's very obvious that neither we nor Xia Country are ready."
"However, we're actually not too uncertain, we've already peered into the [Primeval], haven't we? With mutual verification and comparison, some speculations have been confirmed."
Li Wenkang laughed and said to Master Fuli.
"[Primeval] isn't a unified standard, but rather the Spirit Particle catalyzes organisms to the extreme, leading living beings to different paths based on their own choices."
"The First Epoch explored inwardly, thus acquiring the perfect capability to adapt to all environments, no matter how harsh they might be, forcibly twisting them into environments best suited to their existence."
"The Second Epoch explored outwardly, and although similar in some essence, its expression appears similar to the medieval popular [alchemy], freely manipulating material reactions, producing various chemical formulas."
"And we humans temporarily designate the Third Epoch, according to our past observations, Spirit Beast evolutionary paths seem to faintly match the civilizations that once appeared on Blue Star..."
Li Wenkang looked at Master Fuli, after sizing him up said: "We found the 'key', and validated the theorized speculations that once existed."
"It's time to lure Unos to Xia Country for a trip, and then draw ten or eight tubes of his plasma and marrow."
Master Fuli's existence clearly aligns with the First Epoch path, Physique like a Fierce Beast, possessing earth-shaking power in every gesture.
On the other hand, what Unos has shown clearly belongs to the typical Second Epoch path.
Except, due to the Dragon People erasing their own technology as they perished, subsequent generations are lacking in deep understanding of so-called "Telekinesis".
Master Fuli is evidently stuck now, lacking the so-called "Telekinesis" drive, unable to explore inwardly.
Li Wenkang feels his research focus might need to shift toward [Will Development].
And the first step in developing a new project is to lure Unos to Xia Country, to draw a few liters of his marrow.
"..... Doing this to Unos, you're likely to lose this foreign friend."
Ansheng watched Old Li with a peculiar expression, not knowing how to comment that a dignified Security Bureau official was blatantly setting up a swindle.
Be careful you don't end up in jail, Old Li.
"Don't worry! I've checked, the mimetic octopus isn't under any treaty protection." Li Wenkang laughed, making a playful comment about his actions.
Even though the deed lacks virtue, it doesn't spoil the fun, even making Master Fuli laugh.
"Alright then! The following matters fall within you researchers' field, I'm going home to rest now." Ansheng shook his head, finished his canned cola, and prepared to take a shower and go home to cuddle up with Ah Qing and sleep.
Although Ansheng possesses a Superpower of photographic memory in the field of scientific research.
But this is definitely not something Huhu should get involved in.
"Okay, I'll ask Wang Qiqi to escort you..." Li Wenkang rose from the sofa to send him off, escorting Master Fuli beside Wang Qiqi.
At the exit of the biological laboratory, Li Wenkang suddenly asked:
"By the way....."
"At the beginning of the year, I might have a round-trip ticket for the cosmic space station, Master Fuli, are you interested in a space trip?"
"???"
Ansheng's expression froze, looking puzzled, gazing at Old Li who spoke out.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiqi was even more confused, having never heard that the Security Bureau had any space travel program as benefits for woodcutters.
"Is that what you call traveling? I'm too lazy to expose your petty thoughts!"
Ansheng rolled his eyes, snarked, turned around waved his hand, and jumped into the navigator's car.
In reviving the Dragon People on Blue Star, even if it's a revival like forging the Triangular Hammer, due to the existence of fungi, there are unforeseeable risks.
But...
What if it's in the exile prison?
The existence of that prison was specially created by the Dragon-man Civilization to imprison the immortal Dragon People.
There, using the Cosmic Triangular Hammer on revived Dragon People cells for will pollution, it seems we could obtain some interesting intelligence and information.
Li Wenkang thinks so, but this matter can't really be rushed, requiring thorough preparation.
Outer space is not a human domain, a simple step in space requires burning tens of billions for humanity.
"Master Fuli, are you going home.....or back to the dormitory?"
Wang Qiqi drove onto the highway, glancing over at Master Fuli seated in the passenger seat and asked.
And regarding the office talk, Wang Qiqi naturally ignored it, although curious when the Security Bureau would have a space program, the conversation clearly involved some confidentiality regulations.
"Hmm..."
"Not going home, heading to the School of Animal Science, could you help me catch a couple of three-yellow chickens, I'll take them back to Ah Qing...." Ansheng showed a contemplative expression and spoke:
"By the way, do you have any Spirit Particle Potion? Lend me two bottles. Momo seems about to burst, I plan to help her tomorrow to relieve her, let her feel better..."
As Ansheng spoke, he nodded with conviction, a foxified human is notably joyous and free.
If it weren't for living in a villa, wouldn't take half an hour for neighbors to blow up the security bureau's phone.
"Heading to the School of Animal Science to catch chickens?" Wang Qiqi was taken aback, glanced curiously at the back seat.
The Golden Leopard in the back seat perked up its ears, showing a hint of joy on its cheeks, but it held back.
"Any problem?"
"Well...not really, or should I say.....we're quite experienced in such things. The Golden Leopard once cleared over a hundred chicken coops when studying."
"My current speed is not only due to inheriting the Golden Leopard's abilities, a significant portion is because professors chased after me with shovels during school."
"Professors are just way too healthy." Wang Qiqi showed a nostalgic expression:
"Ah.....I want to go back to studying, had I known graduation would lead to night shifts every day, I should've gone for a master's."
