Chapter 1107 - 452: Research and Development Department Progress

Finally sent Zhuang Shuyuan away, Liang Yuan felt relieved.

This woman indeed has capabilities, but her ambition is not small.

He can’t indulge her too much; he must suppress her severely.

Otherwise, sooner or later she will push her boundaries.

Looking at the remaining half of the meal, Liang Yuan shook his head, not continuing to eat, casually packing away the food, and proceeded to prepare research on Huang Mingkai’s rune bone.

Liang Yuan has now redeemed through the system the [Spiritual Ability Assessment] which can distinguish that this rune bone is a causal rune bone.

And I have also accessed many causal skills through the system.

But it must be said, causal skills are too expensive, even the simplest causal skill actually requires hundreds of thousands of points.

Currently, it’s still a bit unaffordable for him.

Liang Yuan can only continue researching Huang Mingkai’s rune bone for now.

If he can master the abilities of this rune bone, it’s equivalent to saving hundreds of thousands of points.

"Causal skills are mysterious and unpredictable; according to the analysis results from the spiritual ability assessment, these skills mainly relate to the two major attributes of spirit and constitution."

The spirit attribute, among them, is the main attribute, so it seems I’m going to have to focus on spiritual power.

Liang Yuan closed his eyes, starting to carefully deduce the runes, continuously simulating rune paths with spiritual power.

Time passes bit by bit, he gradually discovers a problem.

The reason causal skills also have certain requirements for constitution should be due to the excessive consumption of spiritual power, which greatly affects physical quality.

At least with his current constitution, after prolonged deduction, he also felt fatigue.

It wasn’t until ten o’clock at night that Liang Yuan ended this research session and returned home.

Yang Mei and the others had already come back.

In the next few days, Liang Yuan dedicated himself to cultivation in the research room and Leader’s Mansion.

He would find time to harvest points at the slaughterhouse every day.

In just a few days, his points surged to over two hundred thousand once more.

This made Liang Yuan quite pleased.

No rush; even if I do nothing, sticking around in Yangshan, developing slowly, and harvesting large amounts of points, I will sooner or later be able to max out all genetic attributes.

By then, neither the Three Great Sects nor the military would be my opponents.

Liang Yuan is not in a hurry; time has always been his friend.

With thousands of points of income every day, he can accumulate over thirty thousand points per month.

No, now with the large number of manpower Liang Yuan brought back, the speed at which points are growing has already doubled.

Now it’s at least close to twenty thousand points a day, reaching sixty thousand points in a month.

After redeeming basic supplies and various equipment, Liang Yuan can save at least fifty thousand points per month.

In just two months, Liang Yuan can again accumulate a million points.

"Now I can’t comprehend causal skills; by then I’ll just spend fifty thousand points to redeem one. I don’t believe it."

Liang Yuan resolved in his heart, so in the subsequent time, he managed Yangshan while turning to research the process of extracting the ice attribute gene from Blood Ice on his own.

During this, he also found Zhao Kai.

"Brother Liang, are you looking for me?"

"Hmm, how’s your superpower cultivation going lately?" Liang Yuan asked with a smile.

Zhao Kai scratched his head; he’s cold outside, but in front of Liang Yuan, he always seems like he’s meeting Liang Yuan for the first time, like a big boy.

"Recently, there have been a lot of things going on at the military base, haven’t been able to manage everything, been a bit slack on cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately became serious and said: "Hand those things over to people under you; make sure your superpower doesn’t fall behind!"

Zhao Kai quickly nodded and said: "I’ve already formed an instructor group to manage the newcomers, saving me a lot of work."

Liang Yuan nodded, saying: "To be a manager, you definitely shouldn’t handle everything yourself. You must learn to distinguish priority, urgency, and most importantly, learn to use people."

"You are one of the first batch to follow me, and I’ve always planned to focus on cultivating you."

"So your strength must not lag behind, especially since now in the entire Yangshan, there aren’t many ice attribute superpower users. You should focus on breaking through the 50 Point attribute point barrier. Do you understand?"

Zhao Kai nodded solemnly: "I understand, Brother Liang."

Already at the last meeting, Liang Yuan checked Zhao Kai’s main attribute intensity at the first opportunity.

Zhao Kai’s main attribute is naturally also the spirit attribute, currently at 45 Points.

Can only say it’s not too high; considering that he’s busy with Meishan development and hasn’t been able to quickly enhance his strength, Liang Yuan can understand.

They later had a face-to-face conversation once, letting him set aside the things at hand and focus on enhancing his superpower strength. It’s been a few days; I wonder how it went.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan took out the Spiritual Ability Glasses to take a look.

"Not bad, already at 46 Points; keep cultivating hard, and when you reach 50 Points, you should awaken genetic inheritance, obtaining the inheritance memory for refining genetic species."

"I have enough ice attribute blood now to provide you with plenty of ice attribute genes. Once you gather the genetic species soon, our Yangshan will have the second genetic species master."

Zhao Kai understood Liang Yuan’s good intentions and immediately nodded: "Rest assured, Brother Liang, I will definitely enhance my main attribute as soon as possible."

Liang Yuan smiled, chatted with him for a while, then left Meishan.

Back in the research department, the atmosphere here is quite lively.

Except for Li Hanzhong, everyone else, including Fu Qibo, is here.

Li Yuejin and Old Yang are studying the Investigation Runes together, planning to duplicate more Investigation Runes and produce more Spiritual Ability Glasses, Investigation Compass, and such equipment.

Meanwhile, Ren Jie and Fu Qibo are attempting to combine Sealing Runes with weapons, intending to create more powerful weapon equipment.

As for Li Hanzhong, he has been constantly thinking about the Genetic Furnace.

However, Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised; he wasn’t here today.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but find Fu Qibo and ask, "Where’s Professor Li?"

Fu Qibo replied, "A woman named Shen Yunxi came by, claiming to be a friend of Professor Li. As soon as he heard the name, he went out immediately and hasn’t returned yet."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan instantly understood the situation.

It’s likely that Shen Yunxi and Lin Ya, after being assigned to serve, found it hard to remain idle and couldn’t wait to see old friends.

With that thought, Liang Yuan wasn’t angry; after the great flood, countless people were left homeless.

Being able to find a familiar friend naturally brings more excitement and joy than anything else.

Liang Yuan could certainly understand this feeling, so he just smiled and said, "How is the Sealing Rune research going?"

Fu Qibo immediately got excited: "We are already able to duplicate the Sealing Runes; these Sealing Runes are really peculiar and can lock the circulation of superpower energy."

"In this way, it serves as a means to seal superpowers."

"It’s not directly depriving someone of their superpower but sealing it. The name ’Sealing Rune’ is truly apt."

Liang Yuan laughed and asked, "What equipment are you planning to make with these runes?"

Fu Qibo immediately responded, "These runes are best suited for imprisoning superpower users."

"Handcuffs, cages, traps, etc., can all use these runes."

"Furthermore, the array concept you brought back can also be combined with Sealing Runes to form the Sealing Array as you mentioned."

"This array method can artificially create a restricted zone for superpower users, achieving the purpose of sealing the opponent’s superpower."

"Additionally, as for weapons, I think its greatest use should be in armor penetration!"

Liang Yuan instantly became interested: "Armor penetration?"

"Yes, many superpower users have defensive measures, but these defenses are mostly based on superpowers. Once you can seal the opponent’s superpower, these defensive measures will instantly become invalid."

"At that point, a weapon equipped with a Sealing Rune can forcibly bring the opponent down to a normal human state for a duel."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and smiled.

Fu Qibo is indeed a genius in weapon design; this thought process is extremely correct.

The Spiritual Ability Sect’s Sealing Arrow indeed has such armor penetration functionality.

At this point, Ren Jie spoke, "Mr. Liang, I’ve also created a Spiritual Energy Gun, but the results aren’t very satisfactory. Although the kinetic energy is decent, it’s relative to ordinary people from the past."

"On the contrary, for the current superpower users, firearms aren’t much of a deadly threat anymore."

"Even speed ability users can easily dodge firearms and bullets; the blades they wield may even be faster than bullets."

"And other superpower users, when facing firearms, generally have plenty of methods to defend themselves."

"Firearms might really be on the verge of obsolescence, at least among superpower users; it’s difficult to become popular."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan wasn’t very disappointed; he sighed, "I anticipated this situation."

With the great flood breaking out, firearms require bullets and gunpowder, and in this situation, gunpowder is nowhere to be found, and even if it is found, it’s prone to moisture.

Hence, gunpowder weapons have been completely phased out.

Perhaps only new-style weapons combined with superpowers can truly become popular.

Ren Jie also said, "I’m planning to shift my focus to research superpower firearms; currently, Sealing Runes are a great rune, perhaps used on firearms, they can achieve an armor penetration effect."

"This way, even ordinary people can pose a threat to superpower users."

Liang Yuan nodded and laughed: "You have the idea, just go research."

Liang Yuan knew well, even if they in Yangshan don’t research, the Three Great Sects and the military are certainly researching.

Superpower firearms are bound to appear; if he doesn’t keep up, he’ll suffer greatly eventually.

In the past, when he was still weak, he feared extracting firearms from the system and being attacked or ambushed.

Now, as he grows stronger, firearms are hardly threatening to his safety.

Even with superpower weapons, Liang Yuan now has the confidence to fend off threats.

Therefore, he doesn’t resist the development of firearm weapons.

"I don’t understand much about firearms; just feel free to research. If you need anything, let me know, I’ll find a way."

Ren Jie nodded hurriedly, happily saying, "Thank you, Mr. Liang, for your support."

Liang Yuan chuckled lightly: "Right now, the most important thing is the Genetic Furnace; notify me when Professor Li returns, I’d like to hear his good ideas."

Fu Qibo said, "Professor Li has been focused on this area these past few days; I’ve seen him draft quite a few papers, probably already has some ideas."

Ren Jie also said, "You can go sit in the office for a while; when Professor Li returns, I’ll have someone call you."

Liang Yuan nodded and then entered the development department’s restricted room.

Here are various advanced weapons and equipment developed by the development department.

As well as stored various rune bones for the development department staff to refer and contemplate where these runes can be applied.

This time Liang Yuan came to see if there were any rune bones here that could inspire him.
