Chapter 124 Returning to Blue Star to Recruit People!
As the light swirled, Zhou Jue and Qi Si stepped out from within, one after the other.
The valley base remains as busy and orderly as ever.
Upon seeing the two, the sentry immediately straightened up and gave a standard military salute.
"Qi Si! Major General Zhou!"
Qi Si's military boots pounded the ground without pausing. Her face was expressionless, but the invisible pressure she exuded was even sharper than when she left.
"Immediately connect to the highest command center and report urgently! Highest encryption level!"
"yes!"
The communications soldier didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed to the communications room.
"Contact Chief Zhang and Staff Officer Chen to attend an emergency meeting."
"yes!"
Zhou Jue followed Qi's side, secretly marveling at Qi's efficiency.
Less than ten minutes.
The atmosphere in the highest-level conference room of the base was extremely serious.
There were only four people present: Zhang Shou Z, Chen Jianguo, Zhou Jue, and Qi Si.
On the encrypted video projection side, besides the boss, there were several other bigwigs who frequently appear in the news.
A top-level meeting in China was hastily convened via video conference.
"Let's begin," the leader's voice rang out, steady and powerful.
"Reporting to the leader! Everything is going smoothly at the front; both base construction and exploration tasks have been exceeded!"
"The reason for this emergency meeting is that I have made a major discovery that could change the fate of our country and even all mankind, and I need to report it to you in person!"
Changing the fate of humanity?
These words carry immense weight.
The expressions of everyone present and on the screen instantly became extremely serious.
The eldest brother's gaze sharpened, and he slowly spoke: "You speak."
Qi Si didn't speak, but turned to the side, making way for Zhou Jue behind him.
"It would be more appropriate for Comrade Zhou Jue to report this matter." She knew that it would be most convincing if Zhou Jue, the person who experienced it firsthand, discovered it, and was the sole source of the technique, spoke about it.
In an instant, all eyes, whether on-site or on screen, were focused on Zhou Jue.
Zhou Jue did not refuse. She stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on the figure in the center of the screen.
She didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.
"Distinguished leaders, what I am about to report may overturn our existing understanding. But I assure you that every word I say has been verified and is absolutely true."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly in the quiet meeting room.
"On the post-apocalyptic planet we have now connected to, a catastrophe has caused an energy called 'spiritual energy' to begin to revive."
"Spiritual energy?"
Chen Jianguo subconsciously repeated it, his brows furrowed.
“Yes, spiritual energy.” Zhou Jue nodded in confirmation.
"We can understand it as the fundamental energy source of extraordinary power. And a systematic method for utilizing this energy to enhance oneself is the core of what I'm going to report today..."
She paused slightly and uttered two words.
"Cultivating immortality."
The moment those two words were uttered, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Zhang Shou Z and Chen Jianguo exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of shock in each other's reactions.
They considered countless possibilities. The discovery of new mineral resources? The remnants of an extraterrestrial civilization? Or even a viral serum capable of significantly enhancing human function?
But the one thing they never expected was the words "cultivating immortality".
This sounds absurd.
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Zhou Jue continued to calmly recount her findings.
“But cultivating immortality requires talent, it requires ‘spiritual roots’. I obtained tools for testing spiritual roots through special channels, and I have already tested them on the three hundred vanguard soldiers that Qi Si brought.”
She paused for a moment, then dropped the first bombshell.
"Of the three hundred people, two hundred and sixty-one possess spiritual roots, accounting for eighty-seven percent!"
This number caused many people's pupils to contract sharply.
Nearly 90%! What does that mean? It means that, with the right methods, they can transform an entire elite force into extraordinary combat power!
“Not only that,” Zhou Jue’s voice rang out again.
"I have also found another way for those thirty-nine warriors who have no spiritual roots."
"Not relying on talent, but only tempering the physical body, is called 'body cultivation'. Although this path is arduous, when cultivated to the extreme, it also possesses the power to split mountains and sever rivers."
"In other words, theoretically, every person in our country has the potential to achieve a leap in their level of life through these two paths!"
Dharma cultivation!
Body cultivation!
Two broad roads leading to extraordinary achievements were thus casually laid out before the highest levels of the Chinese government.
The breathing in the conference room began to become heavy.
"Where is the cultivation technique?" A figure in the video spoke for the first time, his voice hoarse but carrying an undeniable authority.
“Here I have two of the most basic, yet most solid, introductory cultivation techniques: the Basic Cultivation Technique and the Basic Body Refining Technique,” Zhou Jue said frankly.
“I have engraved them on the ‘Inheritance Jade Wall’. Anyone can obtain all the cultivation information by simply placing their head on it.”
She reported in great detail everything she had done in that world, including the test results, the characteristics of the cultivation technique, and the method of inheritance.
After she finished speaking, the entire conference room remained silent.
But this time, the silence was no longer one of shock and absurdity, but one of reflection.
It is a deep reflection on the future that arises after digesting this massive amount of information, a mixture of excitement, longing, and a hint of fear.
After several minutes, the eldest brother finally spoke slowly, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"Qi Si, is there anything you'd like to add?"
"Yes!" Qi Si stood up, his voice firm and resolute.
"First, I request an expansion! Three hundred people are far from enough! I need more manpower to explore that world, to build the base, and most importantly, we need a dedicated team to focus solely on cultivation and quickly form the first batch of combat personnel!"
"Secondly, our vanguard force has already secured the post-apocalyptic base, and we can begin construction of the research laboratories. The sooner we put them into use, the sooner we'll have 24 times more research time! This will be a revolutionary boost to our technological development!"
If cultivating immortality provides endless possibilities for a nation's "muscle," then so be it.
This flow of time is like giving the nation's "brain" a pair of wings that allow it to surpass all its rivals!
“Third!” Qi Si’s voice became even louder, and her eyes gleamed with a light called “ambition.”
"I propose we launch a 'nationwide cultivation of immortality' plan!"
"Let's start with a pilot program in the military! We'll gradually promote this cultivation method, using military regions as units, and transform our million-strong army into a true 'Celestial Master' force!"
"As for the common people..." A meaningful smile appeared on her lips.
"Although the methods of physical training are arduous, some of the basic movements used to strengthen muscles and bones can be simplified, adapted, and integrated into our existing... radio calisthenics!"
"The tenth set of broadcast gymnastics for the new era! Fifteen minutes every day! Let's start by building a solid physical foundation for students, and then, when the time is right, we can improve the overall quality of the nation without causing social unrest, and build a strong talent pool for the future!"
"We must ensure that every citizen lays the most solid foundation! In the future, when Earth may also see the day when its spiritual energy is restored, the seeds we sow today will grow into towering trees that protect the entire civilization!"
Qi Si's words were resounding and powerful; every word seemed to carry a flame, igniting the passion in the hearts of everyone present!
The magic-based troops provided long-range fire suppression, while the physical-based troops engaged in close combat, breaching the enemy's lines...
The whole nation is a soldier, and everyone is like a dragon!
What a magnificent sight that would be!
"Everyone, let's hear your opinions," the leader said again.
