Ulhae Research Institute. Dragon Biology Laboratory.

A graceful blue dragon is curled up in a nest full of sharp stones and metal blocks.

It has an extremely streamlined body, and its construction is perfectly adapted to fluid mechanics. It is covered in a layer of sapphire-like scales, each of which shines brightly as if it were the finest work of art.

"It's growing so fast!" Su Lei's eyelids jumped.

If it weren't for the spiritual link, he would have suspected that the dragon in front of him was not Xiuxue.

Because it has only been a few days, Xiuxue's size has increased by at least one-third. And it's not just the size that has increased, its energy level and momentum are also increasing simultaneously.

No wonder real dragons can be enhanced when they sleep, this creature is simply too buggy!

He asked the director of the research room next to him, "Zhenren, how is Xiuxue now?"

That's right, the director of this research room is a four-rank real person, one of the authorities of the empire to study dragons, Lu Taiyuan.

"It's incredible, this dragon's enhancement speed exceeds the record, it's completely record-breaking!" Lu Taiyuan said excitedly.

This real person was dressed as a standard researcher at this time, wearing a white coat, if he didn't know in advance, no one would have thought that he was a fourth-grade powerhouse. In front of Su Lei, he has no real shelf.

"It is strengthening every day, and the organs in the body are developing at a high speed every day, and when it completes this deep sleep, it is equivalent to the strength of the five grades...... It's terrifying, this is a young dragon that has been hatched for less than a year!"

Lu Taiyuan said with a smile: "I also inquired with the Dragon Clan, and they were also extremely shocked by this, and they were going to ......come to visit Xiu Xue after she woke up."

"Oh, dragons?" Su Lei nodded.

In his previous life, when he played games, he also had a lot of dealings with dragons. Xiu Xue received a vote for the real dragon brother, and also earned the title of dragon king.

There are indeed quite a few True Dragons in this Realm, but True Dragons rarely appear in this Realm. They basically all live in a world known as the "Dragon Realm" and have little interest in this world.

Although the dragon clan has a friendship with Great Xia, this is entirely because several great gods in the Great Xia god system are also dragon gods. For example, Emperor Xi, Emperor Wa and Emperor Xuan, they are all dragon gods. That's why there is this kind of relationship, and other countries don't have such good things.

Of course, the dragon clan is just a general term, in fact, there are many types of dragons, and the difference between dragon species is even greater than the difference between wurm and real dragon.

Although the weakest tabula rasa dragon people all have the combat power equivalent to the four-rank real person after reaching the ancient dragon stage, the demon like Xiuxue is obviously an out-of-specification product.

Dragons will definitely be interested.

However, Su Lei also muttered to himself, hoping that the dragon clan would not send a "good and good" type to visit, otherwise it would be meat delivered to the door.

That's right, although Xiu Xue is a dragon herself, her recipe also includes a considerable number of dragons. She didn't think of those dragons as her own kind.

According to the memories of his previous life, Xiuxue often hunted dragons for food. According to her, many of the Oriental Dragons are "cucumber flavor" and "eggplant flavor", and some still have a strong "leaf flavor". As long as there is something else to eat, she will not choose such an unpalatable thing to eat. There is also a vote of bad food among the Western real dragons, but there are relatively more delicious ones.

..................

The second laboratory of the institution.

"Hahahaha...... I succeeded! I succeeded in fusing flesh and metal! I made a new demon creation!"

Zhu Zhenmo jumped and jumped with joy.

A Barbie-like creature sits on a test bench and looks at its ecstatic owner with a blank expression.

Zhu Zhenmo grabbed this little thing and rushed out.

"Wha, I made it!"

He took the newly-born demon and knocked on every laboratory to show his results to everyone he saw......

In the end, Su Lei was also caught by him, and immediately there was a storm of showing off and boasting.

Su Lei said with a black line on his face: "Lao Zhu, calm down!I know you're happy, but can you talk well......

"Okay, I'll tell you about it......" Zhu Zhenmo put the demon maker in his hand and said proudly: "Su Lei, you must know the materials for demon making......

Su Lei nodded: "Of course I know." Clay, ashes, peach roots, human hair grass, the maker's hair, nails, and blood, depending on the genre, will also be added with different potions......"

Demon creation, also known as a blood golem, is a sub-creature. It is a servant created by the monks using their own blood. This creature is usually not too big, after all, the blood of the maker is limited.

Demon creation is not as good as a spirit pet in terms of performance, such as not being able to share and transmit contact spells with spells, and generally not saying the law, but they are an extension of the creator, and they can synchronize the information they perceive to the master through telepathy, but the distance is limited, generally a few kilometers, and if you exceed this distance, you will lose contact with the owner. He is also a competent spy, courier, and scout.

But this thing has a "bonus", that is, the appearance is completely determined by the creator, just like "pinching people" in a game.

In ancient times, most creators would not bother to make beauty for this little thing, as long as it could meet the functional needs. But in modern times, it's different, and creators tend to put a lot of thought into their appearance.

Of course, the main advantage is that there is theoretically no limit to the number of this thing, and as long as the maker is not worried about anemia, it can be made forever.

"Look at this demon maker...... Zhu Zhenmo said proudly.

Su Lei took a closer look and quickly saw the difference. He asked uncertainly, "You didn't use clay, this main material...... Is it copper and silver? And this layer of flesh, you use your own flesh?"

Zhu Zhenmo said proudly: "That's right, it's copper and silver! And my flesh! In addition, there are some crystals, all-metal demon creations, have you ever seen them?"

He patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Zhong Weizhi's sword is fast and accurate, I asked him to cut some of the fat on my belly...... Don't look at me like that, we're all monks, what's the big deal about losing a piece of meat, and it will grow back in a few days!"

"Okay, you're ruthless!" said Su Lei's face was full of black lines. I don't know what to say except for a thumbs up.

Zhu Zhenmo said proudly: "My pound of meat is worth thousands of dollars! Without this piece of meat, how can I make this kind of metal demon that fuses flesh and blood!"

"Uh, what's the use of you doing this kind of thing?" Su Lei didn't keep up with his thoughts for a moment.

"It's so useful! This proves that flesh and metal can coexist and promote each other! You see......" Zhu Zhenmo sent an order to the little thing.

I saw that the little man who looked like a metal puppet gradually turned into a flesh and blood creation, as if a robot had become a real person. Then it changed again, turning into a shiny metal body.

"See, flesh and metal are free to transform! When it's flesh mode, it's pretty much the same as a normal creature. But when it turns into metal mode, it's no different from other puppets, it doesn't need to breathe or eat, and it can withstand all kinds of harsh environments. You know what I mean......" The smugness on Zhu Zhenmo's face was about to condense into substance.

"Damn!" Su Lei still doesn't understand when he hears this!

Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery is soaring!

Although it seems to be imperfect at present, as long as the intelligence is normal, it can already see its value. This is almost the pre-technology of "mechanical ascension"!

"But at present, it's just a demon that can do this, what about the human body?" Su Lei immediately thought of this question.

Zhu Zhenmo said: "This requires more experiments, and I have now decided to focus my research on this aspect......

Su Lei immediately made a decision: "Okay, you write a report immediately, and I will apply for funds and resources...... This research is of great value......"

After sending Zhu Zhenmo away, Su Lei felt a flower in front of him, and the taskbar jumped out.

..................

[Main Quest 4: Ascension Achievement]: Complete the clues of the three major ascensions.

Hint: There are three types of Civilization Ascension: Genetic Ascension, Mechanical Ascension, and Psionic Ascension. You've now found clues to two of them. Keep up the good work and complete the clues of the three ascensions.

Hint: Psionic Ascension is the most troublesome, but if you find a Psionic race, there may be a surprise. I heard that there are psionic races in the blue world......

Rewards: ????, will be awarded based on the final score.

..................

Su Lei was dumbfounded, but he quickly reacted. "it! Sure enough, the mission was activated, and the special code was the main quest!"

"Now two of the three major ascensions have eyebrows, and the rest is the spiritual energy ascension...... Judging from the hint, there are psionic races in the blue world, and it looks like I need to make a trip......" Su Lei pondered.

"Well, not only this task, but also the clues of my parents' priesthood also point to the blue world, as well as Xiuxue's priesthood mission...... Looks like I have to go......"

..................

Kotoshima base.

"This ......" Xiao Yuke looked at the report in his hand, and he didn't know what to say in his heart.

The Weihai Research Institute is terrible! What kind of black technology are they coming up with!

The genetic ascension has just begun to appear, and the signs of mechanical ascension have also appeared.

Now Xiao Dudu is happy and painful, of course it is a good thing that civilization is soaring, but there are two at once, how can people choose?

Of course, children make choices, and adults want them all. But even if he is not engaged in research, he understands that these two are big holes, and he doesn't know how much manpower and material resources need to be filled in. Even with the national strength of the Great Xia Empire, it may be very difficult to support the research of the two major ascensions at the same time, and there is a priority problem here.

"No matter what, let the professionals think about this kind of headache!" Xiao Dudu, who was in pain and happy, definitely pushed the problem to others.

"However, it is better to consider this project separately from the Blue Dragon Research Institute, and their mechanical ascension seems to be another line. ”

At this time, he thought of the project that the Twelve Golden Men were working on, although it was also a mechanical ascension, but in a different way. Over there, the human natural body is completely replaced by a mechanical body, and then the consciousness is implanted. There are two lines of merging with this flesh and blood, and as for which one is better, it's really hard to say now.

"Hey, that one really gave us a problem......" Xiao Dudu couldn't laugh or cry. Too much fruit is also a trouble, a happiness trouble.

Well, he didn't know it yet, but Su Lei was pondering the ascension of psionic energy.
