Looking at the system information for Xiaocao, Li Qingyu was utterly speechless.

This... is it a health supplement for middle-aged and elderly people?

Of course, speechless as he was, Li Qingyu still told Leonardo da Vinci about the attributes.

"Hehehe... It's pretty good, very valuable for research, especially since my country's six-child policy is about to be implemented. I just wonder if this can be artificially cultivated..."

Leonardo da Vinci was quite excited.

"Let's go, let's move on to the next experiment. Leave this little plant for now."

With that, Leonardo da Vinci led Li Qingyu back into the building and began a new round of experiments.

.............

The Statue of Liberty that shouts "Makka Pakka"...

A supercar that can transform into a balloon and fly...

Termite nests that only produce queens...

A mosquito staring at a virgin, sucking his blood...

Automatic sweeping brooms...

Li Qingyu was a little confused. What kind of evolution had this been?

Although Da Vinci was still excitedly chuckling, oblivious to anything amiss, Li Qingyu knew that these items were far inferior to those he had evolved during the competition.

Whether it's the level or the effect...

They are completely different art styles.

[Crimson: Don't you think about it...? The items that evolve on the field either undergo space jumps, are system rewards, or are spoiled by native creatures. Naturally, they can't be compared to these ordinary items.]

[You should know that before yesterday, Blue Star didn't even have any spiritual energy.]

Li Qingyu was taken aback.

That seems...to make some sense...

However, his manned spaceflight program, the baby upgrade program...

It seems it was aborted before it even began.

[Crimson: It's okay, just because it didn't work the first time doesn't mean it won't work the second time! ~]

Why....

That's what they say.

But that doesn't fit our thrifty and hardworking style...

Li Qingyu was reluctant to spend too many evolution points, since so far, the only thing containing evolutionary energy on Blue Star was dried camel dung.

Soon, under Leonardo da Vinci's guidance...

The next experimental target appeared before Li Qingyu.

And...it's a big one!

Li Qingyu couldn't help but tilt his head back.

Tsk tsk tsk....

It's reached the ceiling! A hundred-meter-tall behemoth!

This is a... rocket!!

It's the kind of launch vehicle that carries the space shuttle into space.

Furthermore, unlike the rockets Li Qingyu remembered, this rocket was very old and rusty, and looked like it had been scrapped for a long time.

On the front of this rocket, four large characters are neatly arranged.

Expedition Zero!

Li Qingyu seemed to be deep in thought.

Zero?

The Expedition series has launched over 400 satellites, yet there's still a Zero satellite sitting here, unlaunched?

"This is the first experimental prototype of the Yuanzheng series rockets."

"Unfortunately... back then, China was in a very difficult situation. The rocket was built, but the basic conditions for launching it were lacking."

"But when conditions finally allowed for launch, it was decommissioned due to technological obsolescence."

Leonardo da Vinci spoke with a sigh.

Although Leonardo da Vinci was young, he wasn't even born when this launch vehicle was developed.

But Leonardo da Vinci's father was an engineer who participated in the design of this rocket, so da Vinci knew his father well and had many regrets from the older generation.

In this experimental plan.

The reason for including this rocket, instead of using the latest model, is...

This is also why many people want to make up for this regret...

The main purpose is to test talent; there's not much difference between the new and old Rockets.

If after the experiment.

That would be best if this rocket could be given a new lease on life.

If it doesn't work, that's fine too.

This rocket was originally an old collectible; if it weren't for the confidentiality regulations, it would have been exhibited in a museum long ago.

Li Qingyu nodded as he listened to Leonardo da Vinci's explanation.

The dream of manned spaceflight...

He has one too...

He understood this regret.

However, he was really worried that Crimson wouldn't be able to handle such a significant evolution for the first time.

It would be embarrassing if it only evolved halfway in the end.

Soon, deep red flames ignited from the bottom of the rocket.

The next second.

Boom!!

Flames instantly erupted, engulfing the entire rocket.

Gazing at the magnificent pillar of fire before me.

Although Li Qingyu knew that the Evolution Flame did not have a burning effect, he still couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Before long, the flames died down.

At this moment, what appeared before Li Qingyu was still that rocket...

But it looks older.

An ancient, rustic aura, refined by time, slowly spread out.
