Road to science and technology

In the days that followed, the lighthouse was attacked by pole-devouring beasts at regular intervals. Fortunately, there was sufficient information, and the lighthouse was not completely destroyed despite the difficult resistance of the city defense forces and wilderness hunters.

However, since the attacks of the Devouring Beasts were irregular at all, the Lighthouse City Defense Force had to be on standby around the clock. This makes the city defense troops who had become lighthouse city guards point their guns at the outside of the lighthouse for the first time. Compared with the past, today's city defense troops behave like real city defense troops. This has to be said to be an irony.

General Victor felt like a human guardian at this time, but he also had to face a reality, so he found the city lord just after resisting a wave of attacks from the Devouring Beasts.

"City Lord, our city defense army needs to recruit more combatants." Victor went straight to the point.

Morgan stood up from the city lord's chair and slowly walked to the string window to look at the vast sea of ​​clouds and said: "Go to Elon first. We will discuss this matter later when the hunter comes back."

Morgan waved his hand and asked Victor to leave. He wanted to be alone.

More than a month has passed since the appearance of the flying polar beast, and the lighthouse has suffered more and more losses, especially weapons and personnel.

Although they were able to repel the attacks of the Devouring Beasts every time, it became more difficult each time, and the casualties were also increasing. These were not ordinary people, but superior people who could use weapons and equipment.

So far, Shangmin has lost thousands of people in the battle to guard the lighthouse. It has only been a month, and as more and more polar beasts are attacking, the casualties are rising dramatically.

This was also the reason why he didn't refuse when Victor came to him to replenish his staff just now.

The same is true for weapons and equipment. In the past, they would only be consumed when the hunters were out, but now it is different. The city defense army consumes a lot of ammunition every day.

During this period, the Waste Hunters obtained a lot of supplies from the ground, and because they had detailed information about the Devouring Beast, they obtained much more supplies than before, but they still could not keep up with the huge consumption.

"Who is that person, and what is his relationship with Mana Ecology?" Morgan looked sad.

"City Lord, Captain Mark is back." Jingnan's voice sounded in Morgan's headset.

"Well, call everyone here, I have something to announce."

After Morgan finished speaking, he continued to look out the window. The sun on the horizon had slowly set, but the city defense troops in various parts of the lighthouse were still holding on to their posts. Especially at the top of the tower, there were heavy bodies with heavy weapons taking turns guarding there at all times.

"Da da da"

After a while, the high heels hit the ground and made a clear sound. Morgan knew that it was Jingnan coming without looking back.

Then there was a burst of intensive footsteps. After the footsteps subsided, Morgan turned around and sat down in the city lord's position.

At this time, Charles, Light Bearer, Mark, Ran Bing, Victor, Carrie, and Ailon all arrived, and they all stood upright with their hands behind their backs, waiting for him to speak.

"let's start."

Morgan was dressed in a gilt robe, and his eyes were still extremely sharp despite his white hair.

"Departments start reporting!" Victor stood next to Morgan.

As Mark's adjutant, Ran Bing still kept a good count of the materials collected by the hunters this time, so she stepped out first: "Report to the city lord, the materials collected by the hunters this time include medical supplies, compressed food, and controllable fusion. Energy, rare metals, several old world heavy-duty individual electromagnetic rifles, a giant pulse weapon. A core of the first type of pancreatic polar beast, and three spine Gu."

"Send the core of the polar beast and spine Gu to my laboratory immediately." Jiali interjected.

"Hey, how can something like spinegu do this?"

Just as Charles was about to speak, he was interrupted by Morgan: "Send it over immediately."

"City Lord. This!"

"Huh?" Morgan, who was sitting in the city lord's seat, crossed his legs and glanced at Charles.

After Charles shut up, Jingnan began to report on the energy situation of the lighthouse, followed by Ailon's report on the sharing of children and population reproduction.

Then there was Victor himself. He put his hands on his chest and saluted Morgan, and said: "City Lord, the number of city defense troops is seriously insufficient. In this month alone, the citizens who participated in the battle have lost nearly 2,000 people. The Flying Devourer The beasts are becoming more and more rampant, and if this continues, the lighthouse will no longer be able to be maintained!"

Before Morgan could speak, Charles said in a strange tone: "The city defense army and the hunters suffered many casualties. Did they slack off during the battle?"

When Victor heard this, he suddenly felt angry. He had been working hard and fighting to the death for this month, but now he was called slack.

He glanced at Charles, then turned to look at Morgan and said: "City Lord, if this continues, all the upper citizens will die. I apply to expand the army and let the dust citizens receive military training as supplementary personnel!"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.

Letting ordinary people participate in the battle is simply a provocation to the three laws of the lighthouse.

Speaking in front of so many people, Charles felt that Victor was going to die, but before he could taunt him, he heard Morgan who was standing up say: "What do you think?"

Mark, who was also on the first front, knew Victor's difficulties, so he stood up and said: "Lord City Lord, I agree with General Victor's opinion."

"Um?!"

When Mark said this, everyone present looked at him.

Morgan sighed and said, "Has it reached this point?"

Mark clenched his fist and continued: "It's more serious than this. The hunter made a major discovery about this operation. We don't have time. We saw him on the ground."

"who?"

"That devil."

Charles interjected: "Hey, can Captain Mark be called a devil?"

Mark ignored him and continued: "The person who provided us with ecological information about the Devouring Beast and Mana, we saw that he was collecting the Flower of Mana."

Mark recalled what Yue Yuanzhou said, and then slowly told Morgan what he said.

And this time, the ground.

A mana flower like a head floated in front of Yue Yuanzhou.

Behind him were Bai Yuekui and others. At this time, Bai Yuekui was holding a knife and asking, "What on earth are you going to do?"

Yue Yuanzhou did not look back, but said slowly: "To put it bluntly, the essence of life is the product of soul and genes mixed in a certain way. It is a kind of life energy. I believe that those of you who have mastered Guiyuan are familiar with it, so I won't say more.

In my opinion, the method used by the Flower of Mana to absorb the life essence through the pole-devouring beast it evolved is too inefficient. In the vast universe, this inefficient method cannot be put on the table, so it needs to be improved. . "

Yue Yuanzhou pointed at the idle beasts in the valley under the setting sun. They were a nest of snakes and dogs, and said, "Just like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mana Flower floating in front of him suddenly floated forward, and then hovered above the valley. Then a suction force that absorbed the source of life was generated, and on the blood-red Mana Flower Instantly, streams of life-like essence appeared all around.

These life essences overflowed from the snake and dog and converged into this Mana flower at an extremely fast speed. Then Bai Yuekui and others saw hundreds of snakes and dogs in the valley instantly turn into soil, but the soil did not merge into the ground, but flew towards the Mana Flower in the air and poured into it.

Due to the mixing of soil, the spherical mana flower changed from blood red to dark red.

At this time, Yue Yuanzhou said: "It's like this, but the range is still a bit small. Only by increasing the range of absorbing life essence to the entire planet can it become a weapon that looks like that.

You said that if I put this dark red Mana flower here, will the original Mana flower on this planet evolve in this direction? "

Hearing Yue Yuanzhouzhong say such heart-rending words in such a calm tone, the team of survivors on the ground were stunned.

Bai Yuekui even thought of himself when he was doing the brain transplant experiment.

"How could you do this? You will destroy this planet." Xia Dou shouted.

"Devil! Demon!" Broken Star muttered.

"Boss, how about we go up and kill him!" Shanda was quite reckless.
