Su Wanruo was quite frightened and quickly checked, "Reduce the depth by half, quick!"
Large beads of sweat appeared on Ma Youshan's forehead as he carefully controlled the golden needles. Luo Shan stopped trembling and gradually became steady.
"Tian Tu acupoint, internal force four and a half parts, depth 2, fall!"
"Qihai acupoint, internal energy one-tenth of its original strength, depth 6, drop!"
"Guanyuan acupoint, internal force nine-tenths, depth 7.3, strike!"
......
Ma Youshan precisely controlled the golden needles, his whole body already soaked in sweat. When the last needle was inserted, he could no longer muster any strength and leaned straight back.
Mirzati and Qiangchuan quickly helped him up and checked his pulse. "He's fine, he just needs to rest."
Luo Shan, lying on the bed, was breathing steadily, and his vital signs were gradually returning to normal, finally putting everyone's minds at ease.
"Leave one person to take care of him, and remember: keep quiet!"
Zhao Yiting nodded emphatically, "I'll take care of it, you guys go back and rest!"
The group left...
Half a day later.
Li Tianyi had fully recovered and hurriedly went to Baili Tong's ward, only to find that she was still recovering. Not daring to disturb her, he turned to Luo Shan.
She tiptoed to the bedside.
"Tingting, go and rest for a bit, I'll take care of it."
"Are you sure?" Zhao Yiting looked him over, a hint of worry flashing across her face.
"I'm fine now, go ahead!" she said with a sweet smile.
"All right!"
After Zhao Yiting left, Li Tianyi sat down on the bedside. "Big brother, I know you can hear me, right?"
Luo Shan's eyelashes fluttered.
“The Dragon Kingdom is currently at a bottleneck in its journey to becoming a powerful nation. You need to recover quickly so we can work together to break through this final bottleneck.” He paused for a moment, his brow furrowed. “I can sense that an even greater crisis is approaching. If we cannot improve the overall strength of the Dragon Kingdom, it will be difficult for us to survive the upcoming catastrophe.”
Luo Shan's hands trembled incessantly, his brows furrowed, and cold sweat trickled down his temples.
A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Did you dream about something again?" Luo Shan asked anxiously.
Li Tian nodded, then shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "I haven't dreamed about it recently, but I did dream about it before. Although it wasn't the scene I'm in now, it was pretty much the same."
"What kind of catastrophe was it?" Luo Shan held him tightly, very worried.
"The world has changed color, the earth is scarred and devastated, and civilization has vanished." With each sentence, his face grew more grim.
Luo Shan suddenly stood up, his eyes extremely resolute. "No matter how difficult things get in the future, as long as I'm alive, I will not let anyone covet the Dragon Kingdom."
“We need to broaden our horizons, not just to China, but to the entire Blue Star.” Li Tianyi pointed deep into Shennongjia. “Can’t you sense it? These alien scum have more than just this much ambition; their goal is the entire Blue Star. They haven’t gone off to wreak havoc elsewhere because we’ve kept them occupied.”
"My vision is still too narrow," Luo Shan said with a wry smile.
“A saying left by our ancestors is very suitable for the current situation.” Li Tianyi looked up at the window and said, “We can fight amongst ourselves in normal times, but when foreign enemies invade, we are a whole and must fight together to defend ourselves.”
Luo Shan carefully remembered those words: "I will immediately contact the remaining forces on Blue Star and unite them as one."
“Go!” Li Tianyi frowned. “Providing supplies is fine, but be careful. Core information must never be leaked. When we have a common enemy, we are a unit. When there is no external enemy, these people will definitely cause trouble for us.”
"Understood." A fierce killing intent flashed in Luo Shan's eyes. "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"
That's exactly the point.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll know what's good for me." Luo Shan turned to leave, but turned back at the door. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"In chaotic times, severe punishments are necessary. Those who should be exiled should be exiled, and those who should be killed should be killed. There will be no leniency." Li Tianyi was filled with intense killing intent.
“That’s what I think too.” Luo Shan’s face was a little grim. “Before the apocalypse, the higher-ups spoiled them, but now that it’s the apocalypse, I won’t spoil them. I’ll take drastic measures.”
"As I said before, it's all about finding the right balance."
"Okay, let's go!"
"Go ahead, be careful on the road. If anything happens, call Dafeng Mountain. I'll have Yanzi and Yingxue on standby 24 hours a day."
Luo Shan was satisfied. He turned and smiled, then quickly left...
Shennongjia, deep in the canyons.
Kil'jaeden returned with the One-Eyed Marked Roar and immediately summoned all his people.
After exchanging pleasantries.
"Enough with the nonsense." The one-eyed, spotted roar swept his gaze over the clan's powerful members. "These people are incredibly weak."
Broyer was furious. "You?"
Before he could react, Kilga's single glance sent him staggering backward, nearly causing him to fall.
"Six stars?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.
"As long as you cultivate according to my guidance, you can all reach the sixth star." The one-eyed, spotted roar smiled smugly, slowly turned around, and pointed to the old, weak, women, and children, "including them."
"ah?"
Everyone froze in place once again.
It took Kilgadan almost half a minute to come to his senses. "If that's the case, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my elder brother and obey your orders."
"We are also willing to acknowledge you as our leader!" they shouted in unison.
The unicorn-spotted roar relished the feeling of being adored by thousands and nodded in agreement. "First, seal off the canyon. I will focus all my efforts on developing everyone. Second, brother, take some people to the deep abyss to transport top-grade mystic crystal ore, the more the better. Third, have people dig several pools that can hold a thousand people each."
“Yes, brother.” Kilgadan’s attitude was excellent.
Go!
Under his rule, the evil beastmen's strength increased dramatically, and they became more united than ever before. (To be continued)
......
Two days later.
Once Baili Tong had fully recovered, she immediately went to find Li Tianyi.
"Take me to the lab, the sooner the better!"
"Rest more before you go!"
"No, let's go now."
Once she became stubborn, Li Tianyi couldn't dissuade her, so he could only take her to the large laboratory in Taoyuan Village.
Upon approaching, Baili Tong was stunned and stood frozen in place, muttering repeatedly, "What a massive experimental base, so massive..."
Li Tian laughed, "Of course! There are six large research institutes here, and hundreds of smaller ones. How could it not be big?"
Give a thumbs up, "Incredible, incredible!"
"Let's go inside."
After passing through the gatekeeper's gate, Baili Tong arrived at the lobby. The walls were covered with signs for various research institutes, and Baili Tong became increasingly alarmed as she looked at them.
"Tong'er, don't stand there, let's go!"
Li Tianyi tried to take her hand, but she quickly avoided him.
We continued on our way and soon arrived at the Robotics Research Institute, where busy figures could be seen everywhere.
"Everyone, stop what you're doing." The voice, imbued with inner strength, echoed throughout the entire research institute.
Every time Li Tianyi came, he would bring them a big surprise. The scientists would immediately put down what they were doing and come running over happily.
"Brother Tian, what good stuff have you gotten this time?" A bald man in his fifties, his eyes shining, grabbed him.
"Get out of the way!" Old Li and Old Niu pushed him aside, each grabbing one of Li Tianyi's arms. "Give us the good stuff first."
This was the first time Baili Tong had ever seen such a scene, and his mind was buzzing.
Li Tian smiled without saying a word, then pointed at Baili Tong, "Her!"
"Get lost." Old Li and Old Niu glared at him. "We want good stuff and research materials, and you send us a pretty girl? What's the meaning of this?"
"Baili Tong, Baili Cangyue's granddaughter!"
"Wait, what did you say her name was?"
Baili Tong also realized what was happening. After briefly introducing herself, she stared at the prototype of the second-generation robot in the distance and said, "Wrong, all wrong."
Those who come here to conduct research are all exceptionally intelligent individuals. Their eyes lit up immediately, and they made way for him, saying, "Please give me some pointers, please give me some pointers."
“There are major flaws in its appearance.” Pointing to the left arm, “You only considered the firepower during combat, but didn’t take the materials into account in detail. With the current alloy technology, this weapon can only be fired three times at most before the entire arm is ruined.”
“I know that,” the bald researcher nodded.
"And another thing," Baili Tong pointed to the machine's head, "the cockpit is too small. Completing basic neural links is not a problem. Completing hidden neural links is almost impossible."
"What the heck?" Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "What the heck is this hidden link?"
"It's about deep neural connections, which can achieve 100% human-machine integration."
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped, staring at her as if she were a monster.
"What kind of power source does the second-generation mecha use?" Baili Tong had wanted to ask this for a long time, but the previous question had delayed her.
"Nuclear power."
"Fools, utterly foolish!" Baili Tong said angrily. "Didn't you even consider how many people would die if the robots were destroyed by the enemy?"
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, their backs feeling chilly.
"If I hadn't come here, were you planning to start mass production?"
Old Niu nodded with a wry smile.
Baili Tong's anger surged to its peak. "Old man, you're not helping the Dragon Kingdom, you want to wipe it out! You, you?"
Old Niu suddenly felt dizzy, his limbs trembled slightly, and he could barely stand.
The others were similar to him.
"Tong'er, shut up!" Li Tianyi glared at her fiercely, his voice carrying an air of authority.
Baili Tong realized he had gone too far and quickly apologized, "Old Niu, I'm sorry, I got too excited just now."
Old Niu took two deep breaths of cold air. "Girl, you're right to scold me. If it weren't for your wake-up call, our Robotics Research Institute would have become a sinner for all time."
He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you!"
Baili Tong quickly returned the greeting and took out three research materials, saying, "These should be helpful to you."
Old Niu didn't pay much attention, but his peripheral vision caught sight of the "Blueprints for the Second Generation Combat Robots," which he immediately opened and was deeply attracted to.
Old Li also opened the "Encyclopedia of Combat Robots" and exclaimed, "Great stuff, great stuff!"
The bald researcher was skeptical. He snatched the "Encyclopedia of Combat," read only one page, and then slapped himself twice. "You call yourself a scientist? You're nothing but bullshit in front of them."
A learning frenzy was ignited at the Robotics Research Institute; everyone was either flipping through copies of the three textbooks or humbly seeking advice from Baili Tong.
In this atmosphere, the research institute's level has risen sharply, and it is not far from creating a groundbreaking combat robot.
