Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Ran didn't manage the Zerg much during these three days. The Zerg's path was blocked by high-level ferocious beasts. However, he did discover quite a few small mineral veins, and there was also a coal mine and a pyrite mine within the range that Li Ran's Zerg could mine.
These two small veins are similar to bauxite, with reserves of about 100 million tons each. However, one ton of coal can only be converted into about 500 units of low-level Zerg energy, which is half a low-grade spirit stone. However, after mining all of them, Li Ran can get 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to more than 20,000 level 4 fully equipped thunder beasts, which is not bad.
As for pyrite, it contains half as much energy as bauxite. One ton of pyrite can be converted into one and a half low-level spirit stones. One hundred million tons of reserves can produce about 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
"Build more energy conversion chambers. I want to go the elite route as well as the insect sea route!"
Li Ran doesn't have many energy conversion chambers now, and a level 4 energy conversion chamber that refines intermediate energy non-stop around the clock is only equivalent to a medium-grade spirit stone. The conversion efficiency is extremely low, but fortunately, it doesn't waste much energy. 1,000 low-level energy can be converted into 1 unit of intermediate energy.
Li Ran used up most of the energy he had stored over the past few days to build 10,000 level 4 energy conversion chambers before he withdrew from the Zerg clone's consciousness.
In the afternoon, Li Ran went to class as usual. Walking on the street, he was still a handsome guy, with a 100% turning rate...
"Did you look at Weibo just now? The American island of Hawaii has fallen!" A flat-headed Zhehang college student shouted.
Li Ran's attention was also drawn to it. Hawaii Island fell? How could it be possible? His first thought was that it was fake news, a rumor!
"That's impossible. There are gods and gods guarding it..." The friend next to the flat-headed college student had a look of disbelief on his face, and then immediately turned on the watch projection to check his scarf.
Soon, he cried out: "Oh my God, the gods have fallen, is there any hope for humanity?"
Immortal God is a realm after breaking through the tenth level. It is the mainstay of the Federation and even all of humanity. It can also be said to be the most important guarantee for today's relatively stable era. Now, to hear that an Immortal God has fallen is really incredible!
The immortal gods are high and mighty, and it has been decades since we heard of any immortal gods falling. Unexpectedly, one of them fell just now. This is a serious blow to the entire federation and even all of humanity...
"The fall of Hawaii Island was expected long ago, it's just a matter of time..." A student who looked more rational stopped and said.
"Oh, then tell me the reason!" A burly man, who had none of the childishness of a student, said in a muffled voice. At this moment, he looked at the student who made sarcastic remarks with a very unfriendly expression.
"Yeah, I hate people like you the most. Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of their nation. Moreover, the Federation is now a shared destiny for humanity. It's nothing like the world divided a few hundred years ago!"
"That's right, these people are the real-life trolls and online keyboard warriors..."
"Haha, my hands are itching to beat this kid up..."
The more rational man also knew that he had angered the public, but he did not apologize. Instead, he started to mock:
"Haha, how did you get into university? Well, we were all specially recruited. It's no wonder you don't even know a bit of geography."
Hearing this man start a halo of group ridicule, some people with bad tempers were completely enraged. They wanted to hear what he had to say, otherwise they would definitely give him a beating even at the risk of school punishment.
"Hawaii Island is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean. We humans haven't even completely occupied the continent, yet we're thinking of exploring the ocean? Did you know that the ocean accounts for 71% of the planet's surface? Did you know that the deepest seabed humans have explored so far is only 1,000 kilometers? And that's only one-tenth of the deep ocean?"
"In a sense, the deep sea is the place that poses the greatest threat to humanity. It is a forbidden zone for all terrestrial life. Even the forbidden space is something we know much more about than the deep sea!"
After hearing what this unusually rational student said, all the Zhehang University students were stunned and didn't know what to say.
Only now do they understand that the crisis of the Federation has never diminished, and humanity must keep moving forward!
At this moment, a calm voice came from a distance:
"So what? While your words make sense and are correct, humanity has also come a long way over the centuries, overcoming countless hardships and dangers. Countless martyrs have fought and sacrificed to reach this point. We are definitely not easily defeated..."
"All we can do is cultivate diligently. When we achieve success in the future, we can devote ourselves to the common destiny of mankind and shine with our own brilliance. At the very least, we can contribute our own strength to the entire Federation. There's nothing wrong with rational thinking, but we can't lose our faith and confidence!"
This statement resonated with everyone present, even the more rational college student agreed with it. This was understandable, because generally rational people are not so easily overwhelmed.
"minister"
"Minister Murong!"
"Minister Murong, why are you here..."
The man was walking slowly towards them, with his long hair casually draped behind him. He had a handsome face and a tall and straight figure. The most impressive thing was the calm look in his eyes, which made people feel that he was a man of extraordinary bearing.
Although Li Ran didn't know him, she had been in school for a long time. Even if she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run, so she naturally heard of this person's name.
This extraordinary person is Murong Senluo, the director of the Student Affairs Department of Zhehang University. He was the most influential student before Li Ran came to Zhehang University.
He walked as he spoke, without staying for too long, and walked straight through the crowd. His invisible aura made the people in front of him consciously make way.
When Qin Luo saw Li Ran, he didn't show any strange expression, but just smiled faintly and nodded. There was no jealousy and no deliberate attempt to make friends. Everything was so natural.
But for some reason, Li Ran always felt that she could smell a special scent from him. This scent was very faint, somewhat familiar, and a little weird...
"upgrade……"
At this time, Li Ran was sitting cross-legged in the training room, trying to make a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Last time, he broke through to the 5th level of the 4th level tendon and vein realm in Taboo No. 24. This time, his goal is naturally the 6th level of the 4th level tendon and vein realm.
Because of the system, Li Ran's cultivation breakthroughs were far more numerous than those of others. For others, one major level only had four small realms: early, middle, late, and peak, but Li Ran had 12 small realms in one major level. He was very familiar with the breakthroughs of these small realms and passed through them without much feeling.
"We still have to take it one step at a time. The control of my true self's strength can only be improved step by step by the clone!"
