The world enters the age of mythology.

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

In addition, the chemical properties of element X are very, very stable, and basically do not chemically react with other substances. It is almost insoluble in water, but can be dissolved in a large amount of organic solvents.So as long as it is dissolved in alcohol or gasoline, it can be preserved on a large scale at normal temperature and pressure.

If they are simply stored in gas tanks, the safety factor is not too high. Once these metal tanks are improperly maintained and explode, a large amount of X elements will become gas overflowing, and will be inhaled by ordinary people to produce abnormal changes, and the consequences will be disastrous.However, when stored in solution, the safety factor is several grades higher.

It is defined as a "supernatural object that needs to be carefully preserved", that is, it is at the same level as the former C-level monster, and it is not accessible to ordinary people.

After talking here, one of the staff members sighed with emotion: "Have you seen it? After element x is dissolved in an organic solvent, gasoline or alcohol turns into a very beautiful blue liquid. That blue color is simply It is purer than sapphire, like a floating blue planet."

"Some scientists believe that the X element 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 lightened a lot, has it been drained by us? Is this thing a non-renewable resource?"

"There is such a saying, and some experts believe that the white mist is non-renewable. In the past, the concentration and visibility of the white mist could only reach 10 meters, but now after pumping the gas for several months, you can see through 200 meters..."

"Now, how much did we get?"

There are still quite a lot of transport ships that come here to extract the white mist, and this one of them is just a small boat.The transport ship transformed from the destroyer is a big ship.The working population exceeds [-].

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

"How can there be too much of this thing, the more the better! Seeing this layer of white mist now is as exciting as seeing a lover!"

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

"Alright, alright, be more vigilant! Don't relax!" A team leader couldn't stand it anymore, coughed, and reminded the group of guys not to talk too much in the workplace.

The X element needed for a human strengthening potion is about 0.01 grams.

Yes, only a very small amount of mysterious elements can promote the third development of the human body, but too much will not work, and large crystals will be formed around the heart, affecting human mind.

According to this calculation, 60 tons of x elements are enough for 60 billion people to use!

However, the humans on the Sea of ​​Clouds were still frantically extracting the mist, as if Grandet saw money, picking up as much as he could, and the white mist near the coastline was forcibly thinned out a lot.

This substance is a one-time product. After it is used up, humans cannot produce it. In addition, the population will increase in the future, and scientific experiments will use up some of it. As long as humans have enough alcohol to dissolve element x in it, there is nothing to store it up. difficulty.

After a while, someone couldn't hold back their excitement and chatted again: "Hey, hey, the experimenter who used the enhanced potion didn't have any problems, right?"

"What's wrong? You're thinking too much. You're in a great state of mind every day! I heard that those people can jump more than three meters in the high jump, which is already the height of a floor. It’s unbelievable that it took 100 seconds, right? Maybe it’s even possible to break into 8 seconds!”

"If there is a Guinness Book of Records now, all the records will probably be broken. The judges stare out their eyes in fright! These guys are all supermen!"

Everyone has come into contact with the strengthened human beings. They are so envious of the speed at which their physical fitness grows.

The most important thing is that this medicine can be mass-produced, which will give everyone a longing to miss.

The staff member licked his dry lips and complained slightly: "Hey, I don't know when there will be a second experiment, and some places will be released at that time. It may take several months. , it's too long...can you hurry up?"

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

Some people signed up enthusiastically, but many others were hesitant, wandering, and missed the opportunity.

But now that the effect has come out, those who did not sign up all regret it.

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

"Super power...is it real or not?!" The eyes of the others all widened.

Chapter 200 Let's Cheer

"Of course it's true! It's the tiny high-energy crystals that play a role. According to scientific research, if such tiny amounts of crystals seem to be concentrated in certain structures of the eyes, it will give people the ability to clairvoyance!"

"Although this kind of clairvoyance is not as good as Li Yao's natural clairvoyance, it is still very good. At least, our Yunhai can make up for a lot of shortcomings in investigation."

"If there are a large number of magical x-crystals concentrated on the ears, they will have the ability to listen to the wind, isn't it amazing? But hearing too many sounds and being too sensitive is not a good thing, and it will drive people crazy. I heard These people all wear hearing aids, not to make the sound louder, but to make the sound smaller, so that they don’t hear so much noise.”

"What else is a keen sense of smell, flying legs, dexterous hands, etc... What does dexterous hands mean? It means very, very stable and does not tremble. This is also a kind of superpower, a natural craftsman of a great country."

At this moment, even the serious-looking soldier captain couldn't bear it anymore, and joined the discussion: "...Are all the newly born superhumans from the superhuman family?"

"There is a high probability that this is the case, and the ratio is about one-fiftieth."

One in fifty!

Everyone's eyes light up.

With this probability, if the number of people increases, how many extra superpowers will be born!

One of them suddenly thought of something: "What will happen if these tiny crystals are concentrated in the brain? Since these things work so well, will they turn people into super geniuses!"

The staff member who knew a little bit of news shook his head: "Basically, there is no such possibility..."

"Concentrate in the brain and you will go crazy. Scientists have figured out a way to prevent the possibility of the integration of tiny crystals in the brain, so as to avoid the influence of human spiritual will. Yes, our current technology can prevent it in a certain way. appear in one organ, but cannot control its appearance in a particular organ."

"So the birth of super powers is still random. And, very likely, it has an inexplicable relationship with the soul."

But the probability of [-] in [-] is really too high, after all, the original probability is only [-] in [-].

The probability of [-] in [-] is so low that no one misses it, but the probability of [-] in [-] is something that everyone is looking forward to.Even if you are not lucky, you can still strengthen your physique and make you stronger.

This conversation made everyone gear up and wish to become one of the experimenters instead, but when they thought that the experiment process would take at least several months, they couldn't help but dejectedly and even began to sigh non-stop.

"It's too slow, I don't know when the next batch will be tested."

In this way, the time of the day was spent in a busy way, and all the transport ships returned with full loads.

The industrial factories inside the Sea of ​​Clouds began to separate the X elements contained in the iron tanks by means of compression.Then store these important materials separately in various warehouses...

"It's off work, it's off work! Let's go, everyone is gone, these days are all on vacation!"

And it just so happens that today is also the first anniversary since the outbreak of the S-class natural disaster, and its commemorative value is equivalent to the National Day in the traditional sense of the Xia Kingdom.

Yes, time flies so fast, and it has been a full year since human beings greeted that downpour of world-killing level.

The Yunhai official specially organized an anniversary event for this purpose. During this week, the whole people have a holiday, remembering the past and looking forward to the future.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening everyone, today is a special day, a day of sadness, but a day of joy. Our original earth civilization was destroyed a year ago. Billions of our compatriots lost their lives in that world-destroying disaster..."

"The rest of our tens of millions of compatriots are also separated, leaving only the solitary Yunhai, 15 people, floating in an unknown ocean... Helpless, lonely, we don't even know if we can Live through next month, next month."

Ding Yuan, the supreme commander of the Sea of ​​Clouds, spoke to all the people, and his speech was broadcast live through the ship's communication system, and his voice could be heard on the big screens in various squares, or on mobile phones.

"...But in this short year, we have improved so much. We are still worrying about our lives next month, but we all know that if nothing happens, next month will definitely be better , This is inseparable from the joint efforts of all.”

"First, let's talk about the achievements at the internal level. From the original chaos to the current rapid development, the basic legal system has been established, and the network supervision system has also been formed. Although there are still many flaws, as time goes by, After all, it can be gradually improved.”

"Secondly, our science is also advancing at a high speed. We have developed a strengthening potion that can strengthen the body. I believe everyone is very interested in this potion. In two or three months, we will be able to start the next round of testing …At the medical level, we have also made great breakthroughs, and some previously intractable diseases, such as gout, arthritis, and cancer, have been well cured.”

"Yes, the progress in this area is too great, I believe everyone can appreciate this."

"In this year, our society gave birth to a total of more than 1000 to [-] babies. Due to the limitation of the living environment, the overall birth rate is not high. Everyone has realized this. At this stage, the whole society can only ensure that everyone eats well. It is still quite difficult to save resources to raise the next generation.”

"In addition, there is not much living space inside the Sea of ​​Clouds... The population will increase on a large scale, and there will be no place to live."

"But in any case, we must educate our next generation well. So far, the content about nursery school and kindergarten is missing, so we must set aside a piece of land for the construction of these public facilities, and then select some Excellent teachers, to educate our next generation."

"It is difficult for a race without inheritance to flourish. Children are our future. Most of the people in the refuge are still young, and they don't even have boyfriends and girlfriends. Maybe they can't understand this... Anyway, about social upbringing Work must be done. If you have experience and patience to be a kindergarten teacher, I hope everyone will actively sign up and make contributions to society.”

"Corresponding cows, before the disaster broke out, also brought a few of them. We are currently developing artificial womb technology for in vitro reproduction... We hope that those who have experience in raising dairy cows will sign up."

Listening to Ding Yuan's speech, Lu Yiming couldn't help but took a sip of black tea.

He is the kind of single dog without a girlfriend, and he will definitely not be able to make a great contribution to the increase in the fertility rate of the entire society.

It is definitely a good thing that the government has included nursery classes and kindergartens in compulsory education, which has reduced the burden on parents to a certain extent.

Concentrating childcare in childcare helps relieve the pressure of raising children. Everyone takes the children home after get off work without delaying the enjoyment of family affection.

At present, the productivity of the Yunhai is still not high. It needs a lot of talents to research high technology and manpower to maintain the industry. In these aspects, women can also hold up half the sky.If most women, or even only one-third of women, breastfeed their children at home, then the whole society will definitely enter a stage of labor shortage.

"...The progress is really great!" Lu Yiming couldn't help feeling emotional while listening to Ding Yuan's report on all his achievements this year.

The voice on the TV became louder: "...so, let's cheer to our heart's content, we will become stronger in the future, and our life will be better! I announce that the 5-day long vacation has officially begun!"

After Ding Yuan's speech was over, Lu Yiming tilted his ears, and even heard the cheers of the people inside the shelter several decks away.

There is nothing more exciting than seeing and being able to feel the development of Yunhai firsthand.

This is the fruit won by human beings after victories on the battlefield, and it is also the result of the hard work of the workers, so people cheered heartily.

"Ding Yuan's eloquence is very good, I haven't discovered it before... There will be a celebration party inside the research institute, will you go?" Jin Lili said quietly on the side.

"Go, of course, if you don't eat for free, you won't eat."

For a research institute with deep pockets, there must be some delicious food at the celebration party.

Since it was a formal party, she very rarely wore a rose red dress, black stockings and high heels on the lower body, her style was completely different from usual.

Seeing her attire, Lu Yiming couldn't help taking another look.

Black silk or something... seems like a luxury item, right?In the Sea of ​​Clouds, it is unlikely that there is a special machine to produce these, it must be the previous reserve.

Why do most men like black silk high heels? This is a big question.

Lu Yiming came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Ahem... These progresses are real facts, so everyone is happy together. From the beginning of a large number of refugees, well, all kinds of petty theft, fighting , and prostitutes, it’s too chaotic, and people with superpowers have to bite the bullet and be responsible for handling such miscellaneous things, everyone is so busy."

"But now? Most people already have their own jobs, everyone knows that tomorrow will be better, the legal system is sound, and there are not many petty thefts."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that some games have been launched, which means that everyone has a new way of entertainment, you can lie in bed and play with your mobile phone, what a progress! So, it is the fact that motivates people, Let them cheer, of course Ding Yuan's eloquence also played a big role."

Jin Lili looked at him with a smile: "You have been very involved in politics recently. In the past, you probably didn't care what the whole society is like..."

Lu Yiming nodded in agreement, "Aren't you the same? In fact, everyone has changed a lot. If I were to see me a year ago, I might be shocked."

Jin Lili used to be a trendy girl who drove a sports car, played skydiving, and played bungee jumping.Although she is a bright girl with high intelligence, she was born too wealthy, and it is unlikely that she will really be able to bear the temper to study.

Now, instead, she looks like a scholar. The original short hair has become long hair with a shawl. At first glance, she looks like a lady. This change is really surprising.

Chapter 201 Everyone's Change

Compared with Jin Lili, who has changed in all directions, Lu Yiming has changed even more.

In the past, he just wanted to be a salted fish, so that he could get by. A life with money is naturally the best, and a life without money can still be lived.He doesn't care how other people live, whether their personal morality is good or bad, as long as it doesn't interfere with his own life.

But now, Lu Yiming is already a high-level person in the Yunhai.

A large part of the power of the sheriff has been given to the decent police, but regarding supernatural incidents, it is still the superpowers who are responsible.This position is not directly outlawed.

As for the head of the psychic department, although he has a lot of power, he has never used it once.The emergency order must be in the second half of the state of emergency. Lu Yiming didn't want to get himself into trouble because of the power test.

In the three-person team, the only one who hasn't changed much is Zhong Peng. He is still such a homebody, he doesn't like interpersonal communication, and he will definitely not participate in celebration dinners and the like.

He would rather hide under the covers and play games than try to socialize.

However, under the leadership of Lu Yiming, Zhong Peng has improved a lot... At least, he will participate in some things, instead of watching coldly like before.

This is change!

Changes that happen to everyone!

"Recalling the past, people really change." Lu Yiming said: "Maybe because... I like the Yunhai. I like this big ship a little bit, and I like the people on it, whether it is me personally The rescued survivors, or those hard-working scientific researchers... everyone is very good."

"The previous society was too big, with so many people, all kinds of things, and the entire planet has a population of 80 billion. Everyone can drown me by spitting. I can't do anything about all kinds of social phenomena. changed."

"But now, the Sea of ​​Clouds is just a small society. There are only such a few people. My influence alone can change it. So I have to like this place, and I have to set a good example..."

Jin Lili said with a displeased face: "Tch, it makes you look like a gentleman. You are obviously an old hooligan with a dark mind. He likes to look at beautiful women and flirt with girls, but he hides it so well from others... I have never seen you like this." Black-bellied people."

Lu Yiming turned his head quickly, and whistled, "Like beautiful women is also considered black-bellied? Even eunuchs like beautiful women, don't you know?"

But jokes are jokes. Before the banquet started, the two first came to the martyrs' park to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives in the battle.

Behind every success, someone has to sacrifice.

In the initial rescue operation in the flood, there were already casualties. Originally, these martyrs could survive until now, but they died in order to rescue more people.

In the complete victory in the White Mist Continent, although not many people died in battle, some people still paid the price with their lives.

Everyone has only one life, and the price of life can be said to be the most expensive.

And these martyrs should not be forgotten.

To forget them is to betray history.

Lu Yiming put a flower in front of the mausoleum and observed 3 minutes of silence.

"If there are ghosts in the world, the Martyrs Cemetery must be the safest and warmest place."

"Yes, it's going to be our culture."
