The world enters the age of myth

Jin Lili ate a piece of pastry again. She was very satisfied with Lu Yiming's banquet this time. "Ah, I ate too much...I'm going to gain weight again. You are such a hateful person, you always tempt me with delicious food!"

"You ate so much yourself, what do you care about me... Oh, by the way, does X element have a certain degree of supernatural properties? In mythology, it is the origin of all things... No wonder it can bring power, if it is true So, we really need to reserve more, maybe we can use it in the future.”

"Yes, but we don't know the specific mechanism yet. The x element is too mysterious. It only works on animals and has no effect on plants. It will even undergo a series of changes due to human subjective will."

Lu Yiming could only give up for the time being. Anyway, let the scientists worry about the topic of what the universe is like. It doesn't make much sense for him to be here alone and bother himself.

He recalled the business of this time: "Do I want to sign up for this intensive drug experiment?"

"Of course..." Jin Lili showed two pointed tiger teeth and said with a smile: "Don't you want to become more powerful? In theory, this strengthening potion is quite safe. If you miss it, you will have to wait for several months! I think given your personality, you’d better sign up, otherwise you’ll definitely regret it!”

"Moreover, I can personally customize services for you. How about it? Are you excited? Don't worry, there will be no problem!"

Lu Yiming swallowed. He was really moved. Of course, the main reason was Jin Lili's "customized service".

The use of drug Due to the different physical fitness of each person, the ingredients of this medicine will also have some slight changes. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo strict physical examination and long-term follow-up investigation.

Lu Yiming felt a little excited when he thought that his body would be touched and inspected by Jin Lili.

He quickly filled in his name in the online registration... The opportunity to be a gangster was not allowed to be missed.

Jin Lili saw this guy giggling "hehehe" and couldn't figure out what he was so happy about.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Strict physical examination, naturally a very, very strict physical examination...stricter than the physical examination for military conscription, right?"

"Yes, every part of the body must be checked."

Lu Yiming pretended to be nonchalant: "I heard that it seems, probably, that you can check two round things, and also check the size of those things... It is naturally excellent for you to serve me personally. I Very confident in myself!”

Jin Lili suddenly blushed, as if she had thought of something. She raised her leg and kicked Lu Yiming hard under the table.

"You bastard, you think about teasing girls all day long! Who will help you check those two round things?!"

Lu Yiming burst out laughing again: "I'm talking about eyes, eyes, what are you thinking about!"

yes……

This is a new era, welcome it boldly!

…

Time passes quickly.

Three months have passed again, and the rapid development of Yunhai is still ongoing.

At the intersection between the Yang River and the white mist continent, large and small transport ships were coming and going, and the air compressor was running, constantly pumping out thick white mist.

Extracting more x elements has become the largest and most important super project in recent months!

It is still a bit risky to go near the White Mist Continent to extract air. It is quite far away from the coastline, but no one can guarantee whether monsters will emerge from the water, so every operation will bring a large number of soldiers. As well as some detective-related superpowers.

On the other hand, since a large number of experiments in the future will require the mysterious "X element", once people leave this continent, there is a high probability that people will not be able to come back, so they can purify as much as they can, even if they take a certain risk. worth it.

"Today is another fruitful day!"

"Two such large tanks of air must weigh several hundred tons in total, and they can purify many X elements."

"Who says it's not... But I heard that the X element that can be extracted in the end is actually only so-so. Its proportion in the air is still quite low. It's probably only a few dozen kilograms."

Several staff members are bragging and kicking above the deck. This work has been done for a long time, and they will feel bored if they repeat the work every day.

In addition, I have not encountered any danger after working here for several months, so I will finally let down my guard a little...

Of course, these are just regular skilled workers, and they don't need to be wary of anything. Lu Yiming, Li Yao, Shi Dayong, Zhong Peng and others were all guarding the ships.

After the white mist is extracted into an iron can, it will be brought back to the Unkai for large-scale separation and purification.

Almost one ton of white mist can only extract less than 100 grams of effective substances, a ratio of less than one ten thousandth.

The extraction method is also very simple. After compressing the air, due to different freezing points, different gases can be easily separated under different pressures.

In addition, the chemical properties of element Therefore, as long as it is dissolved with alcohol or gasoline, it can be stored on a large scale at normal temperature and pressure.

If they are simply stored in gas tanks, the safety factor is not very high. Once these metal tanks are improperly maintained and explode, a large amount of x-element will turn into gas and overflow, and will mutate when inhaled by civilians, with disastrous consequences. However, when stored in solution, the safety factor is several levels higher.

It is defined as a "supernatural object that needs to be carefully preserved", which is the same level as the previous C-class monsters and is not accessible to ordinary people.

While talking about this, one of the staff members sighed with emotion: "Have you ever seen it? After X element is dissolved in an organic solvent, gasoline or alcohol turns into a very beautiful blue liquid. That blue color is simply Purer than sapphire, it’s like a floating blue planet.”

"Some scientists believe that element X can directly act on the human soul. This is equivalent to a new scientific breakthrough, because we have never discovered the existence of the soul!"

"I always feel that the fog in this area seems to have become much lighter. Has it been drained by us? Is this a non-renewable resource?"

"There is such a saying. Some experts believe that white fog is non-renewable. In the past, the concentration of white fog could only reach 10 meters, but now after several months of pumping the gas, I can see through one or two hundred meters..."

"Now, how many have we got?"

There are quite a lot of transport ships that come here to extract the white mist, and theirs is just a small ship. That transport ship transformed from a destroyer is the big ship. The working population exceeds 10,000.

"About 60 tons have been purified...the quantity is quite large, it should be enough."

"There's no such thing as too much, the more the better! When I see this layer of white mist, I feel as excited as I see a lover!"

"That's because the time you do it is too short. If you repeat the work every day, you will feel bored."

"Okay, okay, you should be more vigilant! Don't relax!" A team leader couldn't stand it any longer. He coughed and reminded these guys not to talk too much in the workplace.

The X element required for a human enhancement potion is about 0.01 grams.

Yes, only a very small amount of the mysterious element is needed to promote the third development of the human body. But if it is too much, it will not work. It will produce large crystals around the heart and affect human consciousness.

According to this calculation, 60 tons of x element is enough for six billion people!

However, the humans on the Sea of ​​Clouds were still frantically extracting the mist, as if Grandet had seen money. They picked up as much as they could, and the white mist near the coastline was suddenly lightened.

This substance is a one-time product. After it is used up, humans will not be able to produce it. In addition, the population will grow in the future, and some will be used up in scientific experiments. As long as humans have enough alcohol to dissolve the X element in it, there is no need to store it. Difficulty.

After a while, someone else couldn't hold back their excitement and started chatting: "Hey, the experimenter who used the strengthening agent, is there nothing wrong?"

"Is there a problem? You think too much. You have a lot of food and fish every day, and your mental state is so good! I heard that those people can jump more than three meters in the high jump, which is already the height of a building. They can run a hundred meters. I scored 8 seconds, incredible, right? Maybe I can even break 7 seconds!"

"If there were Guinness records now, all the records would probably be broken, and the judges would be so scared that their eyes would pop out! These guys are all supermen!"

Everyone has come into contact with enhanced humans, and they are envious of the speed at which their physical fitness increases.

The most important thing is that this medicine can be mass-produced, which gives everyone something to look forward to.

The staff member licked his dry lips and complained slightly: "Hey, I don't know when there will be a second experiment, and then some quotas will be released. It will probably take several months. , it’s too long...can it be faster?”

In fact, when this experiment was first launched, many people had some doubts in their hearts.

Some people signed up enthusiastically, but many others hesitated and hesitated and missed the opportunity.

But now that the results have come out, those who didn’t sign up are all regretting it.

Another person also came over. He seemed to be in charge of some inside information and whispered: "Hey, things are better than you think. I heard that a small number of people gained superpowers after their third physical development. !”

"Super powers...are they real or fake?!" The other people's eyes widened.
