Everyone immediately understood.
Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. "Captain Ji is right. Let’s prioritize the development of space technology. Even if something happens to Blue Star and it becomes uninhabitable, we can still live in space!"
"Yes, Master. I will pass this research directive down the line!" Wang Jun replied in a serious tone.
"I’ve prepared nearly ten thousand Evolution Potions for you this time. Set aside three thousand for trade, and give all the rest to the scientists. I hope they can make a breakthrough within these five months!" Ren Yuanyang continued to instruct. "More Evolution Potions will be sent over later!"
"Understood!" Wang Jun nodded.
That one notification from the unknown software made not only Ren Yuanyang and his people, but all the survivors, tense up.
"What’s going on? Why are there only five months left? Isn’t everything fine right now?"
"Dammit, who’s playing a prank? Get the hell out here!"
"Looks like this Alien civilization has had enough of the great flood drama. Are they going to switch to a different disaster?"
"What do they mean, ’improve as quickly as possible’? I’m stuck on a small boat. How the hell am I supposed to improve?"
"You don’t have to improve. You’ll just get eliminated at worst. No big deal!"
"Yeah, die early, reincarnate early. No more suffering here!"
"Just surviving is a problem, there’s no way to improve. I think I’ll just give up! In the face of natural disasters, all of humanity’s struggles are futile!"
"You can’t say that. I’ve always believed that humanity can triumph over nature. But we need to unite. I’m going to head for the Aircraft Carrier Base. As long as we all stick together, we can definitely overcome this disaster!"
"Exactly. We should huddle together for warmth! It’s impossible to survive alone!"
"Everyone, don’t be too nervous. Maybe it’s just a prank! The information on the software isn’t necessarily true!"
"You think such an advanced civilization would joke around with you?"
"Stop dreaming and get moving!"
At the same time, all the fleets sprang into action. Improvement required resources, and an undercurrent had appeared today. It was a chance to salvage more resources and lay the foundation for future improvements.
At the Aircraft Carrier Base, Wang Jun immediately conveyed Ren Yuanyang’s directive to the labs.
"From now on, the base’s resources will be fully allocated to space technology, supporting all research and development in that field. Any relevant scientists who have not yet used an Evolution Potion may apply for one directly..."
Seeing this notice, the researchers in the labs were stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the higher-ups’ intentions.
"Looks like we have to start preparing to leave Blue Star ahead of schedule!"
"Yeah. With a warning like that from the unknown software, it doesn’t matter if it’s real or fake. It’s always right to prepare in advance!"
"This is great! Before, scientists studying biochemistry were prioritized for the Evolution Potions. Unfortunately, since I study astrophysics, I wasn’t assigned one. It’s finally our turn!"
"Let’s go! We’ll apply for Evolution Potions and the resources we need for our research together!"
In order to concentrate their efforts on tackling space technology, the relevant scientists from the Dawn Base were also gathered together, preparing to travel to the Aircraft Carrier Base on the next cargo ship.
"Everyone, you’ve all seen the notification. The base needs you to give your all to developing space technology. Within five months, you must develop a craft that allows us to live in space. I know this is difficult, but for the sake of humanity’s survival, I ask you all to do your best!" Ji Yizhi said gravely, looking at the scientists from the Dawn Base. "You will soon board the ship to the Aircraft Carrier Base to join the scientists there. I hope you can cooperate fully to overcome this challenge!"
Just a moment ago, Long Zhan had distributed an Evolution Potion to each of the scientists before him, and they had all already used them.
After listening to Ji Yizhi’s motivational speech, they understood the great responsibility on their shoulders and nodded in agreement.
After the meeting, Long Zhan and Ji Yizhi returned to the office.
"Old Ji, do you think those scientists can really build a spaceship?" Long Zhan’s brow furrowed.
Ji Yizhi shook his head. "I don’t know, but we have to try!"
Long Zhan sighed. "Before the flood, our technology could barely send professional astronauts into space. Developing a spaceship that can support everyone living in space within five months... it feels like a complete fantasy."
"True, but we have Evolvers. Maybe it’s really possible!" Ji Yizhi nodded slightly, then continued, "Most importantly, we have Master. I believe he can lead us to create a miracle!"
Long Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in deep agreement. "You’re right. We have Master and his Peach Blossom Base. It’ll definitely be okay!"
They had immense faith in Ren Yuanyang, but Ren Yuanyang himself felt a little unnerved.
’The main problem is that I don’t know what will happen in five months. Even with the system, I can’t guarantee I’ll survive!’
But Ren Yuanyang also knew that being anxious was useless. The most important thing was to work hard on improving his Mental Energy.
’As long as my Mental Energy increases, the Enhancement System will become even more powerful!’
’Even if those scientists only manage to design an incredibly crude spaceship, I can use the Enhancement System to improve it!’
The Enhancement System could only strengthen existing functions; it couldn’t create something from nothing.
All the special functions that had appeared in the enhanced plants were functions they already possessed, not created from thin air.
Therefore, even if Ren Yuanyang’s Mental Energy broke through one hundred meters in the future, he still wouldn’t be able to enhance an ordinary sea vessel into a Cosmic Spaceship.
To enhance a Cosmic Spaceship, you first need a Cosmic Spaceship!
He needed the scientists at the Aircraft Carrier Base to develop one—at least a prototype!
This was why Ren Yuanyang had been supporting the Aircraft Carrier Base all along. He’d always believed that to survive and thrive, they needed a certain level of population and technology.
The sudden notification from the unknown software only reinforced his feeling that population and technology were crucial.
The trade between the Aircraft Carrier Base and the Peach Blossom Base was more like the latter subsidizing the former.
Lin Mu had once suggested that the Peach Blossom Base could easily raise its prices, but Ren Yuanyang had rejected the idea.
’This was exactly the kind of moment he had been preparing them for.’
Ren Yuanyang didn’t have time to overthink it. He quickly entered a state of Cultivation.
At the Peach Blossom Base, the captives had been behaving well recently, so Ren Yuanyang had given them the opportunity to browse the regional channel’s information.
Of course, they weren’t given phones. Instead, the information from the unknown software on one phone was projected onto a large screen for them to watch freely.
So, naturally, they also saw the latest notification from the unknown software.
"We’ve only had a few days of peace. What new trouble is this?" James’s brows furrowed tightly.
Beside him, Des sighed. "Yeah. What the hell are these Aliens even doing? Are they just using us as lab rats for their experiments?"
James shook his head. "If that’s really the case, once we’re more developed, we have to drag them over here and beat the shit out of them!"
Des rolled his eyes. "It’s not that simple. As we develop, they’ll develop too!"
"But we have the Chief. Our development will definitely be fast!" James also had great confidence in Ren Yuanyang.
Des was taken aback for a moment but didn’t refute him. The Chief really was incredible.
"We should just focus on doing our jobs. As for the future, let the higher-ups worry about it!" Des stood up and started walking out.
James followed close behind. Today, their task was to salvage supplies; all other work had been halted.
Just like before, the undercurrent churned up many supplies that had been submerged on the seabed, and all the salvage teams had a bountiful harvest.
Naturally, the Peach Blossom Base also harvested a large amount of metal and other materials.
Just as Xin Wan was reporting the gains from this salvage operation to Ren Yuanyang, a message suddenly came in from Wang Jun.
"Master, our salvage team was attacked by a marine creature. You all should be careful!"
Seeing this message, Ren Yuanyang was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t heard news of an attack by a marine creature in a long time.
"Didn’t you bring any dizzy fish grass?" Ren Yuanyang asked with a frown.
"We did, but it attacked us anyway!" Wang Jun replied immediately. "It was a giant whale. We probably didn’t bring enough dizzy fish grass to drive it away!"
Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. "Looks like the dizzy fish grass needs an upgrade."
