Chapter 637: Chapter 462 The Secret Happiness of the Fifth Epoch
Lu Yuan had researched “Space-Time Tide Harmonization Conversion” in the past and found it to be purely physical labor, taking him hundreds of years alone to gain just a little bit of Luck, so he lost interest in pursuing it.
It was also equivalent to spending significant human and material resources to acquire a small amount of “Luck.”
“Sounds a bit like… Bitcoin?”
“Spending a lot of energy on something that’s not practically useful, yet somehow inexplicably valuable?” Lu Yuan was speechless, “Blockchain of the Pangu Continent?”
Hai Zhiyun said: “It’s indeed possible that there exists a blockchain system on the level of idealism… It’s useful for the Pangu Continent, just not for us.”
However, this inexplicable “Tide Harmonization Conversion” really needs to be studied; if it could be a bit more efficient, it might have some practical applications.
The second key research direction is— “Emotion Harmonization Conversion.”
A long time ago, when Lu Yuan completed a milestone of civilization, he received a “Magic Cube Energy” as a reward, a large light-blue cube.
This Extraordinary Item can generate 40-50 Spirit Essence annually, helping humans through many tough phases of development.
Even by today’s standards, an annual productivity of 40-50 is still not low.
Its principle, once thought elusive, is now discovered by scientists to be able to gather human emotional fluctuations, Spark Energy, and a small amount of space-time tidal energy, etc., and convert them into Spirit Essence.
It’s a very sophisticated technique, possibly a technology of Level Four or even Level Five civilization, known as “Emotion Harmonization Conversion.”
But this “Magic Cube Energy” operates at full capacity with only 50,000 to 100,000 people, and with a current population of one million, there’s no way to further increase the output.
Humans really need to study their own Spirit Essence Harmonization conversion formulas, even if it’s less efficient than the “Magic Cube Energy,” collecting a few more points of Spirit Essence each year is still beneficial.
“The times are evolving, technologies that once seemed mysterious are gradually being deciphered,” Lu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
He never even dared to dream about these sophisticated technologies alone.
But now they are slowly being deciphered.
As for more directions for development, those are hard to conceive of now.
“I think our biomedicine technology is also Level Three civilization technology, and it has the potential to push for higher levels. It doesn’t involve Civilization Points, but it’s a very clever method, containing the wisdom of countless people,”
“Universal Factory… possibly Level Four technology, currently indecipherable.”
“Quantum Civilization’s spacecraft… incomprehensible.”
“Great Lai Empire’s space engravings… incomprehensible.”
“Gear Civilization’s some gear remnants… still incomprehensible.”
The opinions were lively in the office.
When Lu Yuan heard a whole bunch of “incomprehensible” comments, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes: “Cough cough, let’s not get hung up on those, be more practical. Apart from technology that saves costs and resources, is there nothing else to study?”
Hai Zhiyun came to a conclusion: “There is, but in the short term, it’s very difficult, like technologies that manipulate natural forces like Lightning Storms and Volcanic Eruptions, requiring massive resources to create large control devices, and we simply don’t have that many resources.”
“Third-level technology, developed from anomalies, would have lower research costs.”
“If it’s our own developed technology, it would require a lot of resources to build up, the costs would be quite high, and the difficulty would be higher.”
“From this perspective, we are indeed a weak civilization, lacking even the resources for self-conducted research…”
“Of course, we can only think of possibilities with Little Mirage Dragon, Undying Giant Turtle, perhaps extending into new low-cost technological paths. To my knowledge, the most likely current third-level technology would be ‘Wanxiang Iron Curtain,’ from the Undying Giant Turtle, specifically meant to greatly increase the defense of mechanical units, achieving temporary ‘undying’ effects.”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but rub his nose: “Cough cough, why does that sound a bit like a game’s Iron Curtain device?”
“Exactly, that’s where the inspiration comes from.”
The people burst into laughter once again.
But speaking of which, the Fire Source Civilization withstood until the end of the era, also had its own adventures; it being richer than humans was only normal.
The history of Human 18th Civilization spans just over two hundred years, not comparable to the veteran civilizations, but the current number of third-level technologies we possess is still manageable, right?
In the closed-door meeting, much was discussed.
Each generation has its own ideas and expectations.
Sometimes, there is youthful enthusiasm and impracticality.
But their intentions are ultimately good, without having suffered too many hardships, possessing a bit of an idealistic glow.
It’s undeniable, the world belongs to the young!
Even Lu Yuan feels that he is still young, at an age suitable for achieving great things.
“So let’s proceed with this plan, the future key research directions will involve third-level ‘cost-saving’ technology, high-performance computing research, further advancement of Spirit Language Technology, exploration of idealist materials, weak artificial intelligence, unmanned Detection… and the Wanxiang Iron Curtain!”
“Comrades, if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me directly, don’t be afraid of anything, I’m always your support.”
“Alright, it’s getting late, dismiss!”
The young people left, their faces filled with anticipation and smiles.
