Project Approval and the Recent Development of Blue Star's Human Race
The project approval process wasn't particularly complicated, and there were no staff to receive visitors; everything was handled by the advanced intelligent system within the bronze hall.
Once on the control panel, select the project initiation section and enter your personal information.
Project Number: Space Technology--007
Project Title: Practice and Application of Basic Space Storage Technology
Project Resources: 20 sets of space biological materials, 20 sets of space energy, and materials for large-scale Formation Domain deployment.
Project Site: An Area Rich in Spatial Laws
Project personnel: Perfected Heavenly River
This project doesn't need any help from others. After all, they don't understand space technology or have any knowledge of space laws. If they come, they'll only cause trouble. It's better for them to study it on their own.
In no time, the entire project review was quickly approved by the advanced intelligent agent, and the corresponding venues and resources were also allocated.
Wang An spent 20 minutes here, collecting all the resources, and then boarded a small cargo spaceship to head to the experimental site assigned to him.
As a small world of the plane type, the area with the densest spatial laws in Supreme Beginning Yu Heaven is naturally at the edge of the world.
The entire small world is surrounded by the outer sea, and is also formed by countless islands and rocks transported there, all around the extreme weather that converges.
The place he is going to now is an energy eye near the sunrise point in the east.
In less than 30 minutes, the spaceship traversed tens of thousands of miles to arrive below the Energy Eye.
Looking into the distance, a gigantic black hole, stretching for thousands of miles, split open in the sky, spewing countless energies, cosmic dust, and streams of light from the laws of nature into the world.
"Is this the small-world energy spray node? It's truly magnificent."
The energy here is extremely violent. When Wang An Yin Spirit scanned the area within a radius of ten thousand miles, almost all of the 36 islands were barren, making it extremely difficult for ordinary creatures to survive.
The spaceship continued its journey and landed on Island 17, which had been assigned to him. As soon as he landed, a dull, hard texture spread from his feet throughout his body.
Wang An discovered that the space and soil in this area were extremely hard, and also exuded a faint sense of law.
"It must be the effect of long-term exposure to the laws of nature."
Then the Formation Domain setup and experimental site planning began.
Time passed little by little.
New Era 16, Solar System, Blue Star, Heavenly River Dao Field.
Wang An emerged from the blessed land.
"I've been in seclusion for four years this time, but I didn't expect to advance to the Middle Tier level 2 so quickly."
He then sent a message to his three disciples, asking them to report on the recent developments.
Before long, Lu Tianxin, Chen Tianping, Ye Tianli arrived at the main hall of Silver River Abode.
Previously, they had sensed the imagery of "heavenly palaces and cloud-top pavilions" in the outside world, which was described as "Rooftop Earth." They guessed that their master must have made another breakthrough. Now, seeing their master's aura so powerful and vast, they were even more certain and immediately offered their congratulations in unison.
"Disciple congratulates Master on another advancement in cultivation; reaching the High Tier is just around the corner."
"Alright, enough said. Tell me everything that has happened to human civilization during my years of seclusion."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Tianxin agreed first. Although she was no longer responsible for carrying out specific tasks, she was still in charge of the overall development direction of the Blue Star civilization and was very familiar with recent developments.
He immediately introduced it.
"After you went into seclusion in the 12th year of the New Era, the [Blue Star Human Federation] continued to advance the Xinghuo terraforming project. As of the 16th year of the New Era, three Initial Tier spirit beasts have been born. Two of them were cruel and unwilling to submit, and have been killed. The other one, a fire-type spirit turtle [Rock Mountain Fire], has submitted."
"These two planets, which have undergone preliminary modification, contain five unique spiritual plants and herbs of the Initial Tier stage, and six types of extraordinary mineral veins."
"In the past four years, a total of five Initial Transcendent Stage beings have been born: three from the Heavenly River Dao Lineage, and one each from the martial arts and Daoist sects. Currently, our [Blue Star Human Civilization Supreme Council] Human Federation has a total of 24 councilors."
Upon hearing these figures, Wang An realized that a rate of one extraordinary individual per year wasn't too slow, and then asked about his concerns.
What is the success rate of breaking through to the Initial Transcendent Stage?
Lu Tianxin spoke of this with great familiarity.
"20%—that's the probability of breaking through under the conditions of obtaining an important position in the [Blue Star Human Federation] and enjoying sufficient resources, cultivation techniques, and Qi Destiny. In the four years since then, 20 Qi Refining cultivators have failed to break through, turning into small-scale Five Elements Spiritual Lands."
This success rate is quite high. Keep in mind that 12 years ago, the success rate of breakthroughs was less than 10%. At that time, the extraordinary interstellar society was not yet fully established, and the complete extraordinary industry was not yet fully built. Most people were still using primitive elixirs as auxiliary stabilizing agents during breakthroughs.
Of course, this doesn't include other systems, as the Initial Tier cultivation paths of other systems are not yet complete, and their success rates are an order of magnitude lower.
"This success rate is the result of innovations in elixirs developed in the last year or two."
"How many cultivators are there now?"
"There are already 120,000 level 10 beings, and 20 million Qi Refining cultivators have reached the cultivation threshold of level 2 or above."
After more than a decade of education and resource provision, although the population has recovered to around 4.5 billion, the overall growth in the number of cultivators is still slowing down.
"That's still too little."
Lu Tianxin said this with a hint of helplessness.
"We have discovered that a large population has reached a state of near-isolation from Life Primordial Qi. Even in such a concentrated environment, their bodies can only absorb a small amount. Furthermore, the currently taught techniques are still too difficult for some to master, and many are stuck at the stage of cultivating True Qi, unable to even touch that threshold."
Wang An is capable of solving these problems, but with such a large undertaking now, he can't do everything himself.
What solutions are available within the federal government?
At this moment, Ye Tianli replied.
"We are currently working on two projects. First, we are rewriting a set of cultivation techniques suitable for those at life levels 1-2. This technique aims to improve the body's sensitivity to and absorption efficiency of Life Primordial Qi. Second, we are providing a gentler form of Mystic Qi to those who have been stuck at life level 2 for a long time and unable to cultivate True Qi, allowing them to directly open their pathways through external means."
"Among them, the low-level cultivation methods require the collection of a large amount of data on the cultivation of people and are still in the exploratory stage. The absorption of Mystic Qi has been successfully verified, and it takes about two years to passively cultivate True Qi. However, cultivation after that is still extremely slow, and only a very few geniuses with high comprehension can break through this barrier and rise rapidly in their cultivation."
