Chapter 1245: Chapter 704: News of the Human Mother Civilization (Part 2)

“Yes, it’s no wonder that these ancient civilizations are so eager to revive the blood sacrifice rules.”

“Take me to see those bodies.”

Soon, a group of people arrived at the large cold storage next to the laboratory. Separated by a thick metal door, they could still feel the chilling coldness. This cold was not purely physical; it seemed to freeze the soul as well.

A large heap of bloody body parts was placed inside the large cold storage.

The “Buzhou Alliance” generously provided a coating made with Weaver’s Mucus, just a thin layer less than 0.01 millimeters, to ensure the long-term preservation of the bloodline power in the corpses.

Lu Yuan let out a gentle breath, stepped inside, and saw a head approximately 10 meters in diameter, its three eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe it had died this way.

Besides that, there was a heart, a large leg, and some hair and other scraps.

The loot for humans was quite bountiful, as the quantities of “blood crystals” contained in the head and heart were the greatest.

“Having a strong physique and intelligent mind, yet failing to keep up with the times, even the most powerful race will perish in the river of history.” Lu Yuan sighed.

Lu Tiantian explained, “These acquired myths rely on blood sacrifices to maintain combat power. Once they lose the blood sacrifice, their combat power is far inferior to the innate myths. A volley from an electromagnetic gun can kill them.”

The craftsman Li Datie rubbed his hands, “Their bodies are indeed large, so it’s no surprise each civilization takes a bit of meat. However, utilizing the bloodline power is quite challenging.”

“Alas, the Alliance is vast and grand. Maintaining its current scale already takes a lot of effort,” Lu Tiantian said. “Sometimes we can understand the council members; from a fairness standpoint, they’re blameless, but many civilizations remain dissatisfied—who wouldn’t want a bigger share of the wealth?”

“If they’re not satisfied, they can leave the Alliance.” Lu Yuan sneered, “Who’s begging them to stay here?”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Let’s research these so-called ‘blood crystals’. ”

The researchers activated a large machine, from which a thin wire-like object slowly protruded. Although it was finer than an iron wire, it was more flexible than a human’s finger.

It drilled into a large hole on the head of the corpse.

The tip of the thin wire had a camera and a light, revealing the white mass of brain matter inside that had been frozen into a hard solid.

“This brain matter is actually quite useful; it can be processed into nutrient fluid for plants,” Lu Tiantian said. “We just don’t usually use it.”

Continuing along the blood vessels towards the direction of the brain stem, they could see one transparent and radiant “blood crystal” after another.

Each was about the size of a sesame seed, appearing quite unremarkable.

There were quite a few, possibly tens of thousands of them.

“Once taken off, these blood crystals quickly dissipate, lasting only about half an hour.”

“Take one for me,” Lu Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, “I also have some Weaver’s Mucus, which can preserve them for a long time.”

“No problem.”

The thin wire emitted a high-energy laser, and instantly, a blood crystal fell.

Then, tweezers extended out to precisely grip it and lifted it from the corpse.

Lu Yuan picked up the blood crystal and studied it closely, even sniffing it to detect the scent of bloodline power.

But everyone’s bloodline power was different, and he really couldn’t decode the key within it. So, he took a small amount of Weaver’s Mucus, wrapping it up for later study.

Thinking to himself, “Interesting… but even if I create a high-energy battery similar to a blood crystal, can it shock the world?”

Hard!

Ranking in the top three wouldn’t be a problem.

To claim first, it depends on the competitors’ strength.

The boastful words said, like water that is spilled, Lu Yuan himself only wanted to take the undisputed first place, or else it would be beneath him.

“In the top craftsman competition, do you have any good ideas?”

“Great Commander, we do have good ideas, but we actually don’t want to hand over our core technologies.”

“Winning first place does depend on the competitors’ strength.”

Li Datie rubbed his rough hands, “The Alliance allows 10% of core technology to remain secret in the competition, but 10% is still too little. If it involves civilizational secrets, we certainly can’t give it away.”

True enough, things like the [Blood Ghost Bullet] and [Mutant Bullet], related to research on [Ghost] level anomalies, hold immense value.

Also, the [Light Screen Spirit Language], the highest war foundation of humans.

Especially after becoming a Level 5 Civilization, material technology has also improved, allowing the power of [Blood Ghost Bullet] and [Mutant Bullet] to increase accordingly.

And now that the conch has become an innate myth, it can completely grasp [Devil·Painted Skin], and the strength of [Light Screen Spirit Language] can continue to rise.

Even the conch’s own [Spirit Word] ability has improved significantly.

“Therefore, we can only create some civilian tools, maintaining that 10% of core technology. If other civilizations are envious, they will buy from us, and we sell them subpar technology, usually priced in Civilization Points.”

Lu Yuan understood, this is akin to selling fighter jets during Earth’s time, where the ones sold are slightly inferior to those used internally. Even if secrets are leaked, it’s not a big deal.

“Send me your project reports so that I can study them well over these three years.”

“Understood!”

In the ensuing time, aside from regularly teaching the kids, Lu Yuan frequently discussed with the craftsmen and went to universities at night to study the latest material courses, including the freshly introduced spatial theory.
