With the crystal issue resolved, the next step is to find the dragon egg.

According to the information, they found the dragon eggs in the very center of the canyon.

As for the entire canyon, they have only explored about 100 kilometers of it so far.

Going any further in would be too dangerous, so they have never ventured into that restricted area, which is also blocked by a large lake.

To reach the central region, you must cross this large lake.

They still lack the confidence to cross the width of this large lake.

After all, there are many huge fish in the lake, which can easily swallow human boats.

Therefore, they had no way to cross this large lake before they had aircraft.

However, now that they know that the third-tier mutated beasts are in the central area and can be obtained through artificial breeding, Lu Yuan and his group instantly felt that their opportunity had arrived.

He simply told his family about his plan, and everyone's face showed a hint of shock.

"Son, are you really sure? If we want to get to the core area this time, we have to cross this big lake. Taking a boat is too dangerous."

“Yes, I agree with your father. I think we should take this into consideration and it would be best to cross the mountain.”

"It's quite dangerous over there too. There are birds of prey everywhere on the mountain, and if you encounter one, you're basically doomed."

"Let's wait a bit. How about we try to find a way to get our hands on an aircraft? If we had an aircraft, that would be much simpler."

Opinions were divided, and no one could make up their minds for a while, but Lu Yuan felt he couldn't wait any longer.

"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. The military already has a large amount of crystals, and they will definitely try to cultivate their third-tier mutated beast, the Azure Dragon, as soon as possible. Once it is cultivated, their next plan will definitely be to come here to obtain more dinosaur eggs!"

When Lu Yuan mentioned the next step, everyone seemed to realize a crisis.

"You mean if they cultivate a Tier 3 mutated beast, they'll take out the crystal from the Tier 3 mutated beast and consume it themselves, so they can obtain Tier 2 crystals faster?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "That's right, that's the idea. Once they have the ability to quickly acquire second-tier crystals, then they will probably cut off contact with us in the future. So we don't have much time left. We need to improve our abilities as soon as possible so that we can have a place in the Sky Company."

Lu Yuan's words inspired everyone, and after a moment of contemplation, they all approved Lu Yuan's plan.

"Okay, announce it then: how we're going to set off and what preparations we need to make."

Lu Yuan's eyes swept over the crowd.

"First, we need a sturdy ship—no, not just one, we need at least three. That would greatly increase our chances of survival. Leave this to Shi Quan!"

Shi Quan immediately stood up: "Don't worry, you can rest assured that I'll complete this task with high quality and quantity."

Lu Yuan nodded gently, then looked at his parents and grandparents again.

"We may need a lot of food along the way, so we'll have to ask Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma to help us with the food processing."

The old man quickly got up.

"No problem, we guarantee we'll complete the task. Now, please give us your further instructions."

Lu Yuan then assigned several other tasks.

For example, biological detection was entrusted to Chen Yan, while security was handled by Zhou Tong.

After everything was settled, Lu Yuan and his group began their major trip to the core area.

This expedition is arguably the most important event in their current situation, as they have never before considered exploring that perilous location.

Lu Yuan sat in the room and sighed.

If it weren't for the allure of the Tier 3 crystals, he probably wouldn't have shown any interest in the core area.

But now he also senses that these bison on the grasslands are constantly changing.

This put a lot of pressure on him. After all, even living things are constantly changing, so what reason do they have not to become stronger?

If they don't become stronger, they will be eliminated by this era. This is a primitive era where the strong prey on the weak, which is completely different from their previous era of survival.

After working for about half a month, Lu Yuan continuously obtained large amounts of steel and various metals from the shelter to process ships.

Everything that Shi Quan had requested had been prepared, and finally, on the fifteenth day, the three speedboats were built.

A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face when he saw the three speedboats.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly. It seems your skills haven't declined at all."

Shi Quan laughed heartily, a confident expression on his face. "Of course, this craft is ingrained in my bones, how could I forget it? I'll pass it on to the next generation. Why say so much? I'm getting a little sentimental."

Upon hearing that Shi Quan had made sufficient preparations for future generations, Lu Yuan realized that he had already done so as well.

His dimensional space contains a large number of databases, which are the technological products they left behind before the apocalypse.
