Dean Xu: "......" Okay, okay, you're amazing.
"Old Xu, have you ever thought about having superpowers?"
Dean Xu glared at him: "Don't even think about it, that's taboo! Chief Alliance Leader Li has repeatedly emphasized that it's forbidden to study it."
Jiang Ji smiled and said, "I was just asking! You have a deep understanding of this area, so tell me, do those energy crystals contain any special energy?"
Dean Xu was silent for a moment before speaking frankly: "There is special energy inside, but it's not for stimulating superpowers. Based on the current data, it's at most for improving physical health. Of course, some people with exceptional physical abilities might experience rejuvenation or extended lifespan."
In short, it's similar to ginseng fruit!
Jiang Ji nodded, and said smugly, "Living two hundred years long, plus my spatial storage device, is almost like having superpowers. Old Xu, we're now a perfect team!"
Dean Xu glanced at him and then looked away.
He thought to himself that Xiao Jiang was becoming more and more like a child, and he had to be more mature and not let himself be assimilated by him.
Halfway there, General Li realized he had forgotten to ask Jiang Ji for Xiao Shen's storage ring.
Thinking that I had a meeting to attend later, I went back first, planning to come back and ask for it again when I had some free time.
What General Li didn't know was that Jiang Ji had already tormented the ring to the point of being riddled with holes.
He's smelting new materials, so he won't be able to return anytime soon.
After returning to his office, General Li told Qiu Man to deliver meals to the research lab on time from now on, and then went to the conference room.
A group of bigwigs were staring intently at him. General Li smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Ask whatever you want!"
"Boss, is this really from that mine?" Cao Mengguan raised his wrist and shook it, the bracelet on his wrist gleaming in the sunlight.
General Li nodded: "Yes, this is the wealth of our Qinghua Kingdom. With these crystals, the quality of our citizens can be greatly improved."
"You mean, we could make jewelry from the crystals?"
"That's such a waste! This is just a perk for you. Afterwards, we'll still need Dean Xu to turn it into a medicine."
"Oh, that's a pity. My wife is envious of me for getting such a beautiful bracelet! If it weren't for the size not being the right, she would have just taken it off my wrist."
Cao Mengguan glanced at Li Zongmengguan, hoping he would generously reward him with a string of ladies' gifts.
The other bigwigs' eyes also lit up, because they were facing the same problem.
Li Zongmengguan smiled but did not respond.
Amidst everyone's disappointed gazes, he explained, "Energy crystals aren't inexhaustible; there's only so much. Making jewelry would require a huge amount of potions. Besides, the potions aren't even successfully developed yet. If the news leaks out, how many complications will arise? So, let's keep it quiet!"
If you can't handle it, either give your bracelets to each other or go to the supply depot and get a real crystal bracelet. As for energy crystals? Impossible!
"Alright!" Although the others were disappointed, they couldn't completely misunderstand. However, "When the potion is ready, will we get a share?"
"Absolutely!"
Next, they held a brief meeting regarding the base and the current situation in Qinghua.
"Data analysis from satellites shows that the planet is recovering steadily. Although the overall temperature is still low, if it continues to rise steadily in this trend, we may be able to have spring and autumn in another year or two."
"That's great! With spring and autumn, summer will come soon! Once the four seasons are restored, we can start farming. Then food will no longer be scarce, and we can develop sideline businesses."
Although our technology was destroyed, we preserved the most crucial elements. The restoration of civilization is only a matter of time.
"Recently, apart from a few countries experiencing massive earthquakes, most places seem to be relatively stable. If this continues, once the seasons return to normal, we can pretty much declare the end of the world over."
General Li nodded: "I hope that day will come soon!"
Suddenly, he realized something and asked, "You mean, other countries have also experienced strong earthquakes? Like, earthquakes after volcanic eruptions?"
"I'm not entirely sure what caused the earthquake, but I'm certain it's comparable to the earthquake in Suzhou. If needed, I'll look it up now."
General Li tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "I'm wondering, is it possible that there are similar mines in those places?"
Upon hearing this, everyone became restless.
"Boss, if other countries have them too, we need to grab them before they realize what's happening!"
"Yes, we couldn't go abroad before due to limited resources. But now, with the storage device invented by Engineer Jiang, we only need to send a team to retrieve their space stones and energy crystals without them noticing."
Hehe, if I had a lot of stones, could I apply for a necklace for my wife?
"Haha, Old Ma, you really dote on your wife. But this is a great suggestion, because I'd also like to get one for my wife. General Li, would you like to consider it?"
General Li smiled and said, "If there is any extra income, these can certainly be met."
"Alright, I'll go back and gather more detailed information to analyze where mine shafts might be located."
"I will arrange the personnel. Those who participate in the mission must be agile and absolutely trustworthy."
"Then let's get moving, everyone. Once we have a harvest, you'll be credited with the greatest achievement."
"Alright!" Everyone nodded.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the guards who went abroad on a mission sent back news that they had indeed discovered the mine.
However, it is unclear how many space stones and energy crystals are inside.
The order given by General Lee was to accept only half of it.
After all, these things aren't from our own land. Stealing them in the past was already very unethical. Taking them all back would be no different from the Japanese invading a village.
That's too despicable; it will bring retribution.
Jiang Ji has also made progress. He says that incorporating a small amount of energy crystals during the creation of the storage ring can greatly extend its lifespan. He's not sure exactly how much longer, though. After all, testing something is different from actual use.
When General Li learned of this, he was greatly impressed. He felt that the result was already quite good.
Immediately, someone was asked to prepare a press conference, but at that moment, Dean Xu rushed over: "General Li, the first-generation energy reagent has been developed!"
"Oh?" He stood up in shock and noticed that Dean Xu was holding a small box.
Upon opening the box, ten medicine bottles were neatly arranged inside.
There are blue ones, green ones, purple ones, and gold ones, but none of them are transparent.
"Why are the colors different?" asked General Li.
