After a bout of small talk, the Biosphere Plan’s lead designer, Dr. Edison continued to lead everyone on tour.
There was no detail too small and he described everything clearly.
It was the first time Fang Ning truly understood the charm of combining cutting edge technology with mythical techniques.
He used to have the opportunity to visit similar projects but was too lazy and ended up passing the responsibility to Anderson and company.
According to this professor, the huge greenhouse could be separated into five sections from A to E.
Section A was the Research Development Division where genomes were adjusted to nurture and modify important living beings on the biological chain.
Section B was the Natural Ecosystem Division which simulated Earth’s living environment with the tropics, the Mediterranean, and the arctic areas to simulate the weather for different ecosystems. There were around 34,000 plant and animal species living there.
Section C was the Human Living Quarters Division. There was a section for traditional farming and a handicraft section with a total of 300 people. They were using primal techniques and did not receive any energy nor technology from the outside world. Everything they did was self-reliant, which included food, medicine, houses, and transport.
Section D was the Testing Area. It tested the endurability of living beings under extreme pressure as well as their capability of adapting to the environment.
Section E was the Control Room, it monitored and made adjustments to the operation of each section. It also bore the important responsibility of being a reception for observers and visitors from different countries.
Receiving normal visitors was not something that could be ignored as this could strengthen the confidence for migration among humans and console the more emotional among them to prevent the theory of Armageddon from being widespread.
This was a particular element that has always been easily ignored. People are not robots; people are emotional beings and are closely tied to hope and morale. Only by maintaining morale can the guarantee of migration to be conducted smoothly. Otherwise, it would be very easy for Armageddon to happen.
People in desperation are capable of anything.
Under the guidance of the professor, Fang Ning took a special visitor’s pathway and came to Section B in a car – the Natural Ecosystem Division, to observe the living beings inside.
They did not follow the sequence during the visit as compared to other divisions, the Natural Ecosystem Division was the most interesting for outsiders.
Those who take part in the plan were elites that were carefully picked from all over the world, they were the crème de la crème. Being scientists doesn’t mean that they were dull.
Fang Ning raised his head and saw a piece of tropical grassland. The bushes were yellow and there were weeds everywhere. Something did not seem right.
“Sir System, can you adjust my Khorium Ore eyes to microscopic mode? I’d like to take a look at the condition of the bacteria,” Fang Ning instructed.
“Roger, making the adjustments now,” Sir System was quite happy to do it.
System Notification: (System had activated ‘Spirit Gaze’, observation mode adjusted.)
Fang Ning had learned from previous revisions that Sir System had gone through severe training to achieve another advancement in this area.
Vigilante A’s sight had always been sharp and was able to see hundreds of kilometers away.
With extra help from Vital Energy, he was able to adjust to microscopic mode, which was equivalent to bringing along a high-end microscope.
Fang Ning looked again, and the grassland had changed.
There were groups of bacterial cells in the withering, yellow grass. Some were active but most were wriggling feebly.
There were quite a lot of withering leaves within the earth that did not seem to have been decomposed.
“These microorganisms are not active enough. It looks quite difficult for them to decompose and recycle,” Fang Ning said unconsciously.
“You can directly see microorganisms?” Dr. Edison was surprised.
Those who came along for the tour were shocked but then thought it should be normal.
This was indeed a top-notch powerhouse who had far surpassed the expectations of mortals. The world in their eyes is different than the eyes of mortals.
That was why the God of Plagues was able to create havoc on Earth upon descending… Compared to their physical strength, the observations, creations, and analysis of these gods were the most frightening. Analysis was the main component of adapting to a different environment.
“This is nothing. Do you have a solution for this?” Fang Ning pretended to reply casually but was in fact quite delighted. However, the problem has yet to be solved.
“This problem has been present since the Biosphere Plan Number 2. This is caused by the confined space of the ecosystem. The microorganism quantity is low. If the ratio between such a big living space such as Earth with animals and plants against microorganism is billions against one, then this huge greenhouse filled with Earth’s many animals and plants has only achieved the ratio of millions to one. This has resulted in a difficulty for animal corpses and dead plants to be decomposed. With so much waste matter being left around, it has poisoned the environment, affecting even the lowest level of microorganism groups. This has caused them to be weak and feeble,” Dr. Edison had obviously done his research on the matter.
Fang Ning frowned and asked, “If this is the case, how do we solve this?”
“This is a matter of tackling the key issue. We are nurturing a new type of bacteria with stronger decomposing abilities. However, this modification might very easily cause an unknown effect in the future. This is the complexity of the biological chain. It may look easy to conduct a simple modification, but it would affect the chain as a whole, even to the point of collapsing it. This is like taking pity on deer and killing the wolves. This would cause the deer to self-control the population by dying through contagious disease because the wolves were meant to hunt and eliminate sick and old deer. Until the negative impact is seen, no one would be aware of it. People can only see wolves hunting cruelly but they would be unable to see the positive in this situation,” the professor said with a headache.
“Oh, is the God of Plagues aware of the situation?” Fang Ning asked.
“He is aware. In fact, he told us that he is researching a type of all-purpose bacteria,” the professor was grim.
“All-purpose bacteria? These gods are really good at integrating themselves into nature’s path,” Fang Ning sighed.
When they were in the Upper Realm, they kept to the old ways because it brought them great benefits. Yet now, they were so assertive when they were looking to claim everything on earth. This was naturally because creating something new would greatly benefit them.
This was all there is to gods.
They were a group that was able to make use of any benefit they can glean from living beings. They were also highly advanced beings who were able to self-adjust to suit any transformation of the Heavenly Axiom.
Was there any chance of victory when the time comes to face them?
Any of them with the title of god represented the fact that they had the spirit and energy of the main character of a novel, maybe even surpassing the character. This was because they were real, with real wisdom that was not confined to the limited wisdom of an author.
Fang Ning felt cold in his heart. He was never a smart person. If there were a thousand people taking a test, he had only the ability to get into the top ten, and that was with rigorous work. He was not the type to achieve number one without doing much.
“How will there be no chance of victory, stop being so depressed… One moment, you were full of spirited morale, the next moment, you become sad and depressed. Didn’t even last for three days,” Sir System was dissatisfied.
“Stop your boasting. A true god would never boast of the power he shows to the people unless he is a false god or not really a god. That person would just boast himself into one. Look at the level of power they had displayed, it did not happen because they boasted about it,” Fang Ning sighed.
Sir System replied in disdain, “So what? They may be gods in another place but when it comes to a battle, I am the true and only fighting warrior god.”
“You are the only comedian…” Fang Ning took the opportunity to give Sir System a ribbing to wake him up.
“That’s terrible of you. As long as I can farm more gold, I’ll be invincible, and no one can defeat me. Who among them can achieve this? That would be impossible for them. They would only use an avatar of themselves as a test and repeat their actions without making the first mistake. Besides, Anderson did mention that the Upper Realm is facing a catastrophe. Vitality is scarce and the gods have to rely on what they have saved at home. Creating an avatar would deplete them greatly. Losing one would require a lot of material spells to cultivate back to normal. They have limited resources. We are different. We can accumulate experience points without worrying about depleting. The more we fight, the more we have,” Sir said adamantly.
“Urm, when you put it that way, it does give me more confidence. It’s quite sad when you think about it. If it wasn’t for you with the angry rants, going up against these gods, mankind will only be manipulated by them. So what if Ren Ruofeng is a smart person? He would be killed with one finger. So what if Shang Qingshan can be strong and domineering? All he can do is call himself a king by hiding in his realm. He never goes into battle in the outside world and only uses a hologram of himself as a replacement,” Fang Ning sighed.
At the moment, everyone was looking at a dazed Mr. Pharos of the East. No one dared to speak nor disturb him.
It was obvious that the appearance of this all-purpose bacteria was a crucial subject for Mr. Dragon God.
This could be something that would become a tool for the gods to conquer mankind, or rather, a chess piece.
Compared to these unfathomable gods, humans did not have many advantages at hand. They had only a history of a few thousand years of civilization that was easily countable. Their culture and techniques could probably be understood by the gods with just one look.
Human technology may look cutting-edge but to these gods who were far wiser than humans, they would not be considered much to look at.
