77: Chapter 77 Farming! The Awakening of the Chinese Gene!

[ Consumed Tu Bone * 2 ]

[ command points - 10000 ]

[ Armored Elite Soldiers armor modification in progress... ]

After selecting 20 soldiers to enter the barracks, the modification began.

Soon, the barracks opened, and 20 modified Armored Elite Soldiers walked out.

It was clearly visible that the iron armor was covered with a layer of Tu Bone framework.

The dark gray skeleton added a touch of warmth to the silver-white iron armor, making the overall appearance more comfortable.

Of course, the effect was more than just looking good.

Although bone armor is not as hard as iron or copper armor.

But its natural bone structure provides excellent shock absorption and buffering, and it is more resistant to strong acids than metal.

It can be said that the Tu Bone armor improved the overall defensive capabilities of the Armored Elite Soldiers.

After upgrading the Tu Bone, Su Yang had selected all available upgrade options for the Xenomorphs branch.

Afterward, he opened another main branch unlocked by the Great Qin characteristic — the Alien Plant branch.

It is worth mentioning that plants theoretically also belong to living organisms; the distinction here is mainly because Xenomorphs refer to organisms with hostility and population structures.

While Alien Plants refer to those organisms without aggressive intent or population structure, which mainly play the role of producers in the alien ecology.

Below the main Alien Plant branch, there were countless branches waiting to be unlocked.

Currently, the only one lit up was the Fluorescent Crystal Cell species.

This was the first time Su Yang knew the classification and names of these plants.

"Someone actually gave these things names!"

Su Yang felt a bit surprised.

Just like the Xenomorphs side, there were three sub-branches below the Fluorescent Crystal Cell species.

Plant Science, Production Planting, and Medical Research.

The three branches correspond to technology, production, and medicine, respectively.

Compared to the fighting and killing next door, this side was obviously much more elegant.

And when he saw the Production Planting option in the branch, Su Yang's Divine Soul trembled.

A certain gene awakened.

A certain gene engraved in the bones of the Huaxia people awakened.

"Who would have thought that in such an intense, every-second-counts Forbidden Area Trial, there would actually be such a leisurely option as farming!"

It really is a Huaxia characteristic; one must know that farming is a career engraved in the bones of the Huaxia people.

Moreover, those strange sheep caught from the pasture last time had already been mostly consumed.

The food that was previously expected to last for a month, with the increase in population, probably wouldn't last past next week.

He didn't know what the situation was like with farming in the Forbidden Ground, but if it were truly feasible, the stability of food provided by farming would be much better than hunting.

Unfortunately, the relevant technology was not currently unlocked, and the branches were all blank.

This made Su Yang somewhat puzzled; why was data collected on the Xenomorphs side, but none on the plant side?

A prompt popped up.

[ To unlock the Alien Plant branch, you need to bring back complete plant samples. ]

[ Rare plants have a higher probability of unlocking technology. ]

"Need to bring them back complete, no wonder!"

Su Yang knew where the problem lay; although he had encountered many plants before, he usually just cut them down directly.

If it weren't for this Creation Institute, who would have thought those plants could still be useful.

However, according to the prompt, even if ordinary plants are brought back complete, it is very difficult to unlock technology.

Only some rare plants can unlock technology.

"Rare plants, it seems I will have to ask the Scouts to pay extra attention to plants in the future."

After finishing reading the plant classification, the currently explorable area of the Shennong Creation Institute was finished; the areas below would need to be visited later.

Su Yang guessed that special buildings would bring many things, but he didn't guess it would be such a massive technological system.

The biotechnology system brought by the Shennong Creation Institute could completely rival the main technological system represented by the mozi thousand mechanisms tower.

It even had elements in some aspects that surpassed the main technology tree.

At this point, Su Yang finally realized just how rich the rewards of this ruins exploration were.

"The Shennong Creation Institute is simply a treasure trove!"

Amidst his excitement, Su Yang opened his Lord panel.

After experiencing the shock brought by biotechnology, the next step was the main quest: upgrade the Level 4 lords residence.

[ Territory Resources ]

[ Water Resources: Stock: 793 units, Production Speed: 300 units/day (20% bonus) ]

[ Stone Mine Resources: Stock: 582 units, Production Speed: 180 units/day (20% bonus) ]

[ Coal Resources: Stock: 493 units, Production Speed: 255 units/day (20% bonus) ]

[ Copper Metal: Stock: 392 units, Production Speed: 180 units/day (20% bonus) ]

[ Iron Metal: Stock: 372 units, Production Speed: 150 units/day (20% bonus) ]

[ Saltpeter Resources: Stock: 36 units, Production Speed: 75 units/day (20% bonus) ]

[ command points: 19146 ]

Upgrading to a Level 4 lords residence requires 500 units each of coal and copper ore, 1000 units each of stone and iron ore, and 20000 command points.

There was a day and a half left until the Nations Hegemony Tournament; judging by the current speed, coal and copper ore would meet the requirements.

However, there would be a gap for iron ore and stone, so he would likely need to purchase them from England at that time.

Purchasing resources requires command points, and his current command points were also somewhat insufficient.

Therefore, to upgrade the lords residence, he must fight the Insect Swarm once more.

If there was no Bug Swarm Tide tonight, then he would have to take the initiative to attack tomorrow during the day.

Closing the panel, Su Yang sent out all Scouts to explore, while other units remained on standby.

As long as the Insect race was discovered, they would immediately go out to kill the enemy...

...

Outside the Forbidden Ground, news of the Nations Hegemony Tournament spread throughout all countries.

Compared to the Arrival Night, the Nations Hegemony Tournament was a more exciting event.

The former only targeted a single country and its citizens, and the event happened at night without live broadcasting.

While the Nations Hegemony Tournament included all countries and was broadcast live throughout.

Moreover, all lords swapped areas, maximizing both uncertainty and watchability.

One could both watch their own lord command troops to kill enemies and Scout the combat power of other countries.

It could be said that every match of the two-day Nations Hegemony Tournament was crucial.

The high-level military of the Dragon Country had already organized two groups of top experts, preparing to batch-record the combat power of all countries in the tournament.

After analysis and statistics, this data could be sent to Su Yang next week to provide a reference.

The upcoming tournament made everyone feel very anxious.

Feelings of expectation and worry constantly surged in the hearts of the experts and officers.

"There is absolutely no need to worry about Su Yang's strength; the Great Qin Legion going to those low-Rank areas is simply a dimensionality reduction strike."

"What we are worried about is that exposing our strength too early will cause other countries to join forces against us!"
