At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

"Ling?"

Yin Yi felt that someone was watching her, and she also tilted her head and looked at Lisa with eyes filled with flaming light.

"It? It is the evolved form of anemone. If you want to cultivate such a soul beast, you can choose anemone."

Han Ning touched Yinyi's back and pointed at a tree demon passing by a classmate, "They are the first evolution, it is the second evolution."

He has already tried it, and the panel can only help analyze the evolutionary branches of the soul beasts that he has signed a contract with.

Yinyi and Egg Pancake have taken two paths so far, so they can summarize two detailed ways of evolution. He plans to summarize these ways and transfer them to the "database" set up by the college.

If Lisa wants to raise a "Little Silver Ripple", that shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, every soul beast is an individual. Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, soul beasts of the same race will also show different characteristics due to the temperament of the master and the daily environment. character.

"Anemone? Are they just those ordinary little flowers on the roadside? How can they evolve into this?" Lisa's eyes widened, "Then why can't we humans evolve?"

"Who says humans can't do it?" Han Ning smiled, "After signing a contract with a soul beast, your mental power and physical fitness will become stronger. When your mental power reaches a very terrifying level, it will be enough to When you interfere with reality, do you think you evolved?"

Not to mention the future, he feels that he is now very different from ordinary humans. Not only is his body comparable to an entry-level soul beast, but the most important thing is his mental power, which can make humans like the characters in The Matrix. Predict danger in advance and even use your mental power to attack the enemy.

"I understand, thank you."

Han Ning added:

"If you want to leave the dormitory area and move freely, it is best to sign a contract with a wood soul beast. After our research, anemone wood has the best effect on air purification. Wisteria tree is less effective, but it can basically Guarantee the freedom of movement of the beast master."

Unless a wood soul beast is discovered that is more advanced than the anemone tree, for ordinary people who have just traveled here, it has to be the anemone tree.

…

Construction of the geothermal power station quickly got on track.

In order to help researchers better conduct research in various fields, the combat team in the college will be placed in the computer major teaching building, and hundreds of computers and several servers that have not been damaged will all be moved to the dormitory area.

With ready-made equipment, it is basically not a piece of cake to build an intranet based on internal communication within the college. In this way, researchers can communicate with each other through the intranet, which greatly improves communication efficiency.

Building an intranet and wiring is a big project. Affected by the flood, the network cables distributed throughout the college were affected and had to be rearranged. Currently, we can only collect some computers with excellent performance and rebuild a computer room specifically for computers. to research and store data.

If making firearms is very difficult, then an engineering college has all the requirements to build a small local area network.

In the early days of time travel, everyone did not have the time or environment to uniformly integrate the electronic data stored in the college.

Now, with a short respite, Dean Wu suggested that everyone, in their spare time, collect as much knowledge as possible from the computer hard drives in the dormitories and teaching areas, integrate them together, and classify them according to different subjects. To acquire knowledge in different fields, go to the computer room and upload the data to the college server.

As humans from the 21st century on Blue Star, everyone knows how helpful computers are to various research studies.

Cultivating soul beasts does not seem to have anything to do with computers, but people with computer-related knowledge can completely use the relevant knowledge they have learned to empower the soul beast field.

Han Ning heard that Teacher Zhou and the others were preparing to develop a soul beast illustration app that combined image recognition technology.

Manually enter the soul beast illustrations summarized by the Insek and Burning Fire clan into the computer, compile these data into mobile phone software, and install it into everyone's mobile phone.

In the future, when you go out on adventures and encounter an unknown soul beast, if you take a photo of it, your phone will automatically display the other person's relevant information.

If you encounter a type of soul beast that has never been recorded in the illustrated book, you can also upload it to the database and wait for version updates for unified iteration.

Of course, the premise of all this is to have a relatively accurate structural model of the soul beast. It is just an idea at the moment, and there are still many more important things to do.

For example, install cameras in the insect nest area to remotely monitor the situation inside the insect nest.

Big data analyzes the composition of insect food and studies the possibility of optimization.

Using computers to automatically monitor feeding, water feeding, lighting, temperature, egg collection, feces cleaning, etc. can save a lot of labor and increase the egg-laying rate of insects.

Computers can also be used to record and process insect-related data, providing optimal methods for seed selection and breeding management.

What Han Ning didn't expect was that computer technology, which seemed to be the most useless, turned out to be relatively early and had a substantial help to the college.

After lunch, in the afternoon, Dean Wu took Han Ning and Lyon to the computer room on the third floor of Building A of the dormitory building.

"In the future, we will gradually transform Building A into a comprehensive floor integrating offices and discussions, and people will gradually move to other buildings to live in." Dean Wu said while smiling and pushing open an iron door on the right. Door.

A computer room occupying most of the floor, filled with all kinds of computer equipment, came into view.

The walls in the original dormitory were opened up, the tiles on the floor were mopped to perfection, and more than a dozen bright energy-saving lamps were hung from the ceiling. A dozen teachers and classmates were sitting behind computers and operating something carefully.

It was Han Ning's first time to come to this new computer room. It is said that before he went to the Di Yan Forbidden Area, the college's exploration team had planned to move computer equipment from the teaching building and store it in the dormitory area.

"Han Ning, if you take some pictures related to soul beasts when you go out in the future, you can come here and use the computer here to upload them to the college's server."

Dean Wu waved his hand and led the three of them to an old man operating a computer.

This old man has gray hair and does not wear glasses. At this time, he is pushing a simple four-wheeled car on the computer table and slowly sliding to the right along the table.

At the same time, the moving trajectory of the car appeared on the computer screen.

As the car repeatedly moves on the desktop, a three-dimensional terrain map simulating the shape of the desktop is gradually generated on the screen.

Several people waited quietly for the old man to finish the experiment, and then Dean Wu smiled and introduced to the Lyons and his daughter:

"This is Professor Zeng Ling from our Computer Department."

As a member of the college, Han Ning knew Professor Zeng. He heard that this professor specialized in computer graphics and system construction, but he traveled here before he could listen to the latter's lectures.

Professor Zeng is older than Dean Wu, so naturally he cannot go out to fight and can only do some research and logistics.

"Mr. Lyon, if you encounter computer-related problems when designing a power station in the future, you can always ask Professor Zeng."

"Okay, Professor Zeng, nice to meet you. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future." Leon smiled and extended his hand to Professor Zeng.

"Hello, Mr. Lyon." Professor Zeng didn't look very talkative and reached out to shake hands with Lyon.

Seeing the terrain-detecting car on the table, Han Ning probably understood why Dean Wu called him over.

"Dean Wu, what do you think?" To confirm his thoughts, he looked at the car in Professor Zeng's hand.

"Can't your Vientiane Spiritual Silkworm summon several puppet insects for detection? I want those puppet insects to go underground with the terrain detector made by Professor Zeng."

"In this way, all the routes they pass, the underground temperature, terrain structure, and even the atmospheric composition will be recorded in the memory inside the detector, which facilitates us to conduct detailed research on the underground terrain and determine the best way to build a power station. Suitable environment.”

"OK, alright."

After hearing this, Han Ning nodded without any hesitation.

Although the Rockbreaker Ant drilled into the ground, he could simultaneously observe the underground environment, but for some detailed data, even if he was a first-level beast master with relatively strong mental power, he could not fully control many data.

With this detector, it will definitely be of great help in exploring the underground.

"If possible, let's try it now?" Dean Wu pointed to the ground in the distance.

Han Ning did not speak. With a movement of his mental energy, dense purple flesh and blood erupted from his body. Three purple-red rock-breaking ants slowly condensed out from in front of him.

The Vientiane Silkworm can currently condense 8 puppets, and 4 puppets are needed to wander in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions of the college to detect whether there is an invasion of insect masters.

There is also a ghost bee that closely monitors Aktu.

These are arrangements related to the safety of the college and cannot be withdrawn at will.

Therefore, only 3 rock-breaking ants can be separated for exploration.

When the Leon father and daughter saw this strange scene, they could not help but feel deep surprise on their faces.

Lisa couldn't help but ask aloud: "This... I would like to ask, Mr. Han Ning, is this also the ability of the soul beast?"

"Of course, otherwise you think I have mutated?" Han Ning smiled slightly, "Also, Lisa, we are the same age, you don't have to call me sir all the time, just call me by my name."

"okay."

Han Ning did not explain much, but directed the three rock-breaking ants to walk to Professor Zeng's feet and said:

"Professor Zeng, please install the detector on the rock-breaking ant."

Professor Zeng nodded, removed a small plastic box similar to the size of a GoPro from the car, and took out a small box with a similar shape and two circles of elastic bands for fixation from the drawer, and tied them to two rock-breaking ant queens respectively. On the carapace on the back.

"Time is tight, so I only made two test products to see if they work well."

After fixing the detector, Professor Zeng gave it a hard break. After confirming that there was no problem, he turned on the power and stood up straight.

"Do you need us to go outside?" Dean Wu looked out the window.

"No need, we just wait here, uh... By the way, Dean Wu, Mr. Lyon, which area should we explore first?"

Finding suitable terrain for exploration belongs to the field of geology, which is relatively unfamiliar to a few people.

Only Leon pointed in the direction of the north gate of the college: "The power station should not be too close to our living area. Let's start from the north."

"Um."

Under Han Ning's command, three rock-breaking ants jumped out from the window sill nimbly, facing the black rain pouring outside, and crawled into the ground downstairs without any hindrance.

"Mr. Lyon, what kind of terrain does it meet the standards for building a geothermal power station?"

"The terrain structure is relatively stable, and the underground temperature is above 150°C. The higher the temperature, the faster the transpiration of boiling water, and the higher the power generation efficiency. The shallower the depth, the better, preferably about 500 meters."

"If the earth soul beast can stabilize the underground terrain, terrain factors can be ignored." Leon added.

"I see."

Hearing what Leon said, Han Ning remembered their encounter under the mushroom forest.

When we were in the underground ant nest, the surface temperature there was about 50-60°C. The ant nest should still be inside the mountain, and the temperature would be even higher if we drilled deeper.

The rock-breaking ants traveled underground at an extremely fast speed, comparable to a high-speed car. In a short time, they arrived outside the north gate of the college.

Switching to the field of view of the rock-breaking ants, there is a red field of vision like infrared thermal imaging, with red soil in all directions.

When rock-breaking ants burrow into the ground, they do not directly use their hard heads to cut open the mud blocks in the ground as Han Ning imagined. Instead, they burrow like they are swimming in water. Any gravel they touch will be like The water ripples out, and the rock-breaking ants can easily get in.

It's like there's a layer of space between them.

Even if the rock-breaking ant explores the underground, it cannot be completed in a short time.

Han Ning handed over the command of the rock-breaking ants to the Vientiane Spirit Silkworm, and he moved away from the boundless red field of vision.

"It takes a certain amount of time for rock-breaking ants to explore the underground. Dean Wu, do you have any plans next?"

Dean Wu did not answer him immediately, but said to the Lyons and his daughter: "Mr. Lyons, are you going to stay in the computer room for a while, or go back and rest first?"

Leon pointed to an unused computer not far away:

"Let's sit here for a while, and I'll see if there's anything I can use in the database here."

"Okay." Dean Wu nodded. After arranging the arrangements for Lyon and his daughter, he informed Professor Zeng and then walked out with Han Ning.

"Dean Wu, what's going on, why do you want to be so secretive?" Han Ning saw that Dean Wu had a separate issue and wanted to talk to him.

"In addition to exploring the underground, I originally wanted to see you today. The teachers from the biology department of our college have recently researched some new results."

"oh?"

A few minutes later, they arrived at a temporarily converted laboratory on the fourth floor.

At this time, there was a teacher sitting behind the computer desk in the laboratory who was operating the computer.

In the center of the laboratory, there are transparent water tanks of various sizes.

In the water tank, there are some insectoid organs and tissues soaked.
