Chapter 164 The Shennong Project Launched! The Era of Farming for All Has Arrived?
"Immediately! Compile a list of all warriors with wood-type spiritual roots!"
"Establish the 'Shennong Department'! It will be specifically responsible for the cultivation and research of spiritual plants!"
"All warriors with low-grade and mid-grade wood-type spiritual roots are to be transferred to the project team! Establish experimental fields numbered one through ten and begin spiritual plant cultivation experiments immediately!"
"Use that piece of land behind the base. As for the manpower needed, just transfer it directly from the logistics department! We are going to build the first spiritual herb garden belonging to our China on this wasteland!"
Qi Si's orders came one after another, decisive and swift.
"And another thing!" She looked at the researchers: "Immediately establish the 'Hundred Arts Cultivation' research group! Thoroughly analyze all the skills passed down through five thousand years of Chinese civilization! Explore the possibilities of combining them with cultivation!"
"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices filled with excitement.
A brand new cultivation system, unique to China, is quietly sprouting at this moment.
Looking at the bustling scene before him, Zhou Jue felt a surge of pride.
She knew she had to add fuel to the fire.
"Qi Si, wait for me a moment."
"System, exchange for basic materials on all the arts of cultivation! Food cultivation, painting cultivation, music cultivation... I want them all!"
[Ding! Host's needs detected, generating exchange list...]
A pale blue light screen unfolded, revealing a dazzling array of options.
[“Introduction to Dietary Cultivation: From Spiritual Energy Steamed Buns to Foundation Establishment Elixir Cuisine”, 100 points]
["Sound Training Basics: An Initial Exploration of the Thirteen Sounds and Spiritual Resonance", 100 points]
["An Introduction to Talisman Cultivation: How to Draw Your First Cleansing Talisman with Cinnabar", 100 points]
...
Densely packed, encompassing everything.
Zhou Jue was dazzled by what she saw, but she knew that these were the most basic, yet also the most crucial, things.
"I'll buy them all!" she said, waving her hand dismissively.
[Points -20000]
Twenty thousand points vanished in an instant.
Zhou Jue felt a pang of regret, but when he thought about how many special talents this knowledge would cultivate for the country, he felt that the money was well spent!
She then looked towards the area with even more advanced cultivation techniques.
These basic techniques are suitable for widespread adoption, but those dozen or so exceptional spiritual roots, selected from among thousands, require even better techniques to ensure their talents are not wasted.
Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique (Heavenly Grade): In harmony with the Five Elements spiritual roots, balanced and peaceful, with a solid foundation; upon completion, one can attain immortality. Price: 50,000 points.
"The Supreme Record of Forgetfulness" (Heavenly Grade): Suitable for ice-type and immaculate spiritual roots, extremely fast cultivation speed, but requires severing worldly ties and achieving supreme forgetfulness. Price: 50,000 points.
"Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique" (Heavenly Grade): Perfect for fire and lightning elemental roots, possessing unparalleled dominance and offensive power. Price: 50,000 points.
These cultivation manuals are practically tailor-made for geniuses with special mutated spiritual roots! They're a bit pricey, but not outrageously so!
"I bought it!"
[Points -150,000]
The more than 400,000 points were instantly reduced to just over 200,000.
Zhou Jue felt his heart bleed as he looked at [232800], but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
She put the cultivation techniques and materials in a box, took them all out, and handed them to Qi Si. Qi Si's hands trembled as he took the box and looked inside; it was full of spirit stones.
"Xiao Jue...this..."
"In addition to the nation's basic knowledge system of cultivation, I also have three Heavenly Grade cultivation techniques. The usage is the same as the previous basic cultivation techniques; just stick the spirit stone on your forehead."
Zhou Jue smiled and said, "That's all I can do. The rest is up to our own scientists and predecessors to explore and improve."
Qi Si looked at her deeply, without saying thank you. This kindness was too heavy to be expressed in words.
She simply gave Zhou Jue a solemn salute.
Qi Si hurriedly left with her things. She had to report to her boss and hold a meeting with experts to discuss the establishment of the Shennong Department and the Hundred Arts Research Group. Each of these was of utmost importance!
Zhou Jue felt that she probably wouldn't be needed for a while, so she told Cheng Gan to cultivate on his own or follow the national arrangements, as she was going into seclusion to use the upgrade vouchers!
It's time!
After finding his secluded cave and setting up protective measures, he couldn't wait to call the system.
"Brother Tongzi, use the 'Beginner Upgrade Ticket' to upgrade the 'Starry Sky Box'."
[Ding! Upgrade Ticket (Beginner) has been used. Upgrade target locked: Starry Chest.]
Upgrade has begun. Estimated time: 365 days.
As expected! It will take a lot of time, thankfully I managed to hold back!
Fortunately, she chose to go into seclusion in the apocalypse. 60 days of Earth time spent here is almost 4 years! A year to upgrade is perfectly acceptable.
Perfect timing! I should take this year to reflect and solidify my Golden Core stage cultivation.
She sat cross-legged and slowly closed her eyes.
His consciousness sank into his dantian, where a golden pill was slowly rotating, radiating a warm glow.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
......
Qi Si, carrying the spirit stone information given to him by Zhou Jue, returned to Blue Star through the portal.
Without pausing for a moment, she informed Chief Zhang and Chen Jianguo and headed directly to Beijing.
An emergency, secret meeting of the highest level was convened.
When the table was filled with spirit stones, the entire conference room fell into a long silence.
Every bigwig present was a seasoned veteran of many storms, yet at this moment, their hands trembled slightly as they looked at those spirit stones.
If the previous "basic cultivation method for all people" was to open a door for China.
So now, the things Zhou Jue has brought back have paved a road to Rome for the world behind the door!
“I agree with Commander Qi’s ‘Shennong Project’ and ‘Hundred Arts Project’.”
Chief Zhang spoke first, breaking the silence, his voice carrying a hint of determination.
"Full support for the post-apocalyptic base! Provide them with manpower and supplies as needed!"
I second that.
"I second that."
“I second that, but we can’t just focus on the soldiers,” an elderly man sitting below the eldest brother said.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Of all the batches of soldiers sent over so far, including Commander Qi, there are only 19 with top-grade spiritual roots. There are still too few geniuses!"
“My suggestion is that, in addition to active-duty military personnel, could we quietly expand the scope of talent discovery to the general public, especially… young people?”
A bold idea took shape in his mind.
“We can package the spirit-testing stone as a new type of ‘talent potential testing device’ and conduct a comprehensive survey starting with students across the country.”
"Once a genius with a top-grade spiritual root or a special spiritual root is discovered, or even a high-grade spiritual root, the state will immediately step in to secretly recruit them and provide them with special training."
“We could even consider establishing one or more specialized ‘advanced academies for exceptional talents’.”
"A university for cultivating immortality!" Chen Jianguo clapped his hands and laughed, revealing the truth in one sentence.
In the meeting room, everyone's eyes lit up; the proposal was incredibly tempting!
This means that China will have a complete and sustainable talent selection and training system, continuously supplying the nation with fresh talent!
"This plan is feasible!" the boss declared decisively.
"But it must be done in secret. The initial publicity must be carefully controlled to avoid causing social panic or excessive attention from the outside world."
"In addition, we have made new progress on the project of combining radio calisthenics with cultivation and body refinement. Based on the basic mental techniques provided by Comrade Zhou Jue, the expert group has combined ergonomics and meridian theory to compile a set of 'health-strengthening radio calisthenics,' which is currently being tested on a small scale with significant results and can be promoted nationwide at any time!" a person in charge said.
"Great! That's wonderful!"
The atmosphere in the conference room was lively.
Major decisions concerning the future of the country were quickly finalized and then distributed to various departments.
Throughout China, this sophisticated national machine began to operate at high speed around the core concept of "cultivating immortality."
Just as the meeting was about to end, the boss's red secure phone suddenly rang.
