CHAPTER TEXT:
The meeting ended with this announcement.
In Cloud Summit, core members had the right to know, but when it came to executing the task, all they could do was search for and purchase materials according to the provided list. The real technical issues had to be addressed by Le Da Yuan, Liu Zhenghong, and their respective laboratory members.
This time, Ye Zhongming passed down a wealth of knowledge. After realizing that transmission required a large amount of Moon Age Gold, everyone began to pay more attention to these technologies.
The King of Cloud Summit was new to the universe and started from a low point, so there were countless places where money was needed. However, he used this hard-earned money to impart knowledge, which left the people of Cloud Summit with no reason not to cherish it.
Therefore, Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan immediately began researching these topics. The former focused on the refining of Moon Age Gold, which was fundamental and the basis for all cosmic technology. The latter began a massive reorganization of the laboratory and recruited new members, even forming large-scale research teams to study and learn the knowledge passed down by Ye Zhongming in segments.
This was unavoidable; Earth’s technology had stagnated in the early years of the apocalypse. Even though there was some development in Cloud Summit, it mostly leaned towards warfare, with all technology serving combat purposes.
However, this knowledge was not like that—it was profoundly different, containing theories that had no continuity on Earth and required a foundational understanding.
For evolvers, the evolution of their bodies and brains made learning more effective. However, there was still an overwhelming amount of unfamiliar and incomprehensible knowledge, which meant that digesting it would be arduous and time-consuming.
The challenge was not only in learning the knowledge; the goal of studying these theories was to turn them into practical results, which required experiments. Experiments, in turn, needed various tools, parts, and vessels, all of which were problems to be solved.
Initially, Le Da Yuan was overwhelmed, but as more talented individuals joined and grasped some basic knowledge, the situation improved significantly. Although they were still far from entering the field, at least they had a decent start.
During this period, the losses from the Battle of Plum City gradually recovered. The occupation of the national district began to show positive results, with a massive influx of materials, magic crystals, and other benefits coming into Cloud Summit. Cloud Summit also took the opportunity to instill their concepts and working methods.
Even though Cloud Summit was a superpower and now truly the number one in the national district, there were still limits in many areas.
However, as the ruling area expanded and the population increased, the previous limitations of Cloud Summit as a force began to blur or even disappear. In other words, this limitation was expanding infinitely, allowing for a comfortable environment for development.
Still, Xia Lei was not very satisfied. A month after the Battle of Plum City, when Cloud Summit's losses had been initially restored, she led her newly formed battle team, along with the healed Earth Yellow Pill, Yangos, and the Cloud Summit Air Force led by the spirit woman and the undead fish dragon, to launch a surprise attack on the G Zone of the Resistance Area.
At this point, everyone had tacitly accepted the current situation in the national district. As long as Cloud Summit did not encroach on the Resistance Area and Radiant World Army's territory, there would be no conflict, and Cloud Summit’s occupation of the national district was their business.
Sometimes, the Resistance Area and Radiant World Army would also deploy troops to occupy certain places, making small moves, probably fearing a backlash from Cloud Summit Villa, but they were also tasting sweet rewards.
But who could have expected that the unspoken ceasefire agreement would be so easily broken? The G Zone had decent strength, but under the attack of four top-level life forms and nearly two hundred thousand Cloud Summit warriors and battle beasts, it collapsed in just one day.
