Before this war began, Chu Fei and the others had conducted some research into memes, curses, and the like, but they lacked the means for "practice and verification."
The Ascending Dragon Hall had been researching memes for a long time as well, but long research did not guarantee good results. It was like Yanhuang Civilization's ancient gunpowder technology—stuck at the final hurdle, unable to break through no matter how anxious they became.
Still, years of research had accumulated vast amounts of data, theories, directions, and results of uncertain authenticity. After all, this was scientific research, not the wasteful practices of antiquity.
Some of the things Chu Fei had brought could be considered a key. But how to organize the contents of the room, and by what standards, required practice.
Practice produced true knowledge. Scientific research required experiments!
But who the hell dared to mess around with memes? Zhao State's curse was merely leftover residue from battle, and the Dragon Race had even tried to clear it out. Yet after who knew how many tens of thousands of years, it still could not be eradicated.
So, unless someone had rocks for brains, they would not conduct experiments on their own territory.
Nor could they experiment on the territory currently being occupied by their advancing army. The true testing grounds lay in the deep rear, centered on Immortal Cloud Palace's headquarters. The region between Immortal Cloud Palace's front lines and the battlefield, the area that might become a war zone, still had to remain safe. Before the Meme Virus was confirmed mature and controllable, it absolutely could not fall upon their own people.
Immortal Cloud Palace's deep rear was not small.
Immortal Cloud Palace's territory spanned roughly 1.5 million kilometers in every direction. Its central location—its "capital"—lay 600,000 kilometers from the Ascending
