The 23rd division had only been established for a short period of time. It didn't have much influence in the military or the outside world. Even though Ling Xiao was one of the 12 god-class operators in the Federation, he still couldn't stop all the bloodsucking crocodiles.
What Ling Xiao didn't know was that Ling Lan discovered that the most beneficial thing wasn't the huge energy source at the bottom of the lake. Instead, it was the yellowish-brown plants that could be seen everywhere on the plains.
After Li Shiyu's research, he discovered that there was a special element in the yellowish-brown plants. This element didn't exist in the Federation before. If he could extract this element and combine it with human cells, it would increase the regeneration ability of humans.
That's right. Organ regeneration and limb regrowth would no longer be a theoretical problem. It would become a reality.
Li Shiyu named this element the Nuwa element. Firstly, in the ancient legends, humans were created by Nuwa. Secondly, in the legends, Nuwa also patched up the heavens. The regeneration of organs and the growth of limbs was all about patching up the heavens.
When Li Shiyu told her about his discovery, Ling Lan's first thought was that Li Shiyu was going to be in trouble. This discovery and the technology behind it would revolutionize the entire human world. The Federation's military wouldn't allow any technology to be controlled by an individual. What awaited Li Shiyu was that he would lose his freedom and be controlled by the military. He would only be able to live in a secret base as a high-ranking researcher.
If other countries knew about this, Li Shiyu wouldn't be able to appear in front of the world anymore. No one knew what those countries would do. The first two things would only cause Li Shiyu to lose his freedom. It wasn't the worst thing. If those religious fanatics knew about Li Shiyu's discovery, they would probably think that Li Shiyu was a heretic. They would do everything they could to kill Li Shiyu.
Ling Lan thought about it for a long time. For Li Shiyu's freedom and safety, she decided to keep this news a secret. At the same time, she asked Li Shiyu not to tell anyone else about his discovery. Faced with this discovery, Ling Lan felt the pressure on her shoulders increase. She felt that she was weak. For the first time, she felt that she was not strong enough to protect her comrades who had placed their trust in her.
Ling Lan, you need to become stronger!
After entering her father's 23rd division, Ling Lan was much more relaxed. She didn't push herself as hard as before. It could be said that in the past half a year, Ling Lan didn't improve much in terms of mecha piloting or physical skills. This showed how lazy she was during this period of time.
However, Li Shiyu's discovery was enough to shock the entire human race. It made Ling Lan feel a sense of danger again. Her relaxed and lazy mentality was swept away. What replaced it was a tightened spring. She wanted to continue becoming stronger.
Of course, Ling Lan could also choose to tell Ling Xiao about this and let Ling Xiao solve it. However, Ling Lan had her own pride. She was already an adult and could take on her own responsibilities. Li Shiyu was her partner so she should be responsible for him.
Plus, Ling Lan always felt that the fewer people who knew about this, the safer it would be for Li Shiyu.
The three months of land clearing mission was coming to an end. During this period of time, 250 Ace Mecha Clan found some mines. Some were normal while some were extremely precious. Compared to the other divisions that liked to occupy mountains and highlands, 250 Ace Mecha Clan gave up on those places that were obviously filled with wealth. Instead, they insisted on occupying that piece of land that didn't have any plants and only had yellowish-brown plants.
The 7th division benefited from 250 Ace Mecha Clan giving up on this land. They thought that this was General Ling Xiao from the 23rd Division returning the favor to the 7th division. This caused the 7th division's attitude towards the 23rd Division to improve. After a series of coincidences and misunderstandings, the relationship between the two divisions reached an unprecedented level. Ling Lan's selfish actions unexpectedly helped her father and allowed Ling Xiao to form an unexpected secret alliance.
However, when the profits of 250 Ace Mecha Clan were tabulated, their results weren't so good. They were definitely at the bottom of the list. Because of this, not long after, it was revealed that there was a huge energy source at the bottom of the lake where 250 Ace Mecha Clan was located. The huge amount of profits made many people jealous. During the land clearing mission, because 250 Ace Mecha Clan gave up on their land, the 7th division returned the favor. Together with their allies and the other divisions under the First Marshal, they protected the rights of the 23rd Division. With more than half of the votes, the 23rd Division was given full rights to the development of the energy source.
Of course, the reason why they were so generous was because even with the huge energy source, 250 Ace Mecha Clan's profits from this land clearing mission couldn't be compared to their best division. Since they already had enough profits, they didn't care about these small profits anymore. Plus, they still had to take care of Ling Xiao's reputation. Just like that, the rights to develop the energy source at the bottom of the lake were passed smoothly. They didn't meet any difficulties Ling Xiao expected.
Although Ling Xiao was a little surprised by this, since he had achieved his goal of protecting the interests of his daughter's clan, he didn't need to worry about what was hidden behind this. Ling Xiao was very calm. No matter what the other party was planning, they would be exposed in the end. He would deal with whatever came his way. He wasn't afraid of Ling Xiao.
The development of the energy source had nothing to do with Ling Lan and the others. The most dangerous and difficult land clearing mission had ended. Next, the normal mecha clans would continue to search for the places that the first batch of mecha clans missed. It wasn't that there was no danger, but it was much safer than before. The Federation's military made this arrangement with the intention of training these normal mecha clans. Of course, if there were new discoveries in unknown places, the person who discovered them would also be rewarded. However, this time, the reward was only a one-time reward. They wouldn't be able to obtain enough wealth and benefits like the first batch of mecha clans.
Before returning, the 23rd Division's land clearing mission headquarters informed them that the temporary base built by 250 Ace Mecha Clan would be handed over to the management department of the 23rd Division.
Ling Lan didn't reject it, but she didn't reject it either. She tried to negotiate with the 23rd Division's headquarters. Although the 23rd Division was her father's division, she was still the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. She had to consider the interests of her own mecha clan.
In the end, she mercilessly took the knife that was polished until it shone brightly and ruthlessly stabbed the headquarters. Lin Zhong-qing, who was the main person in charge of the negotiation, had to be praised. His sharp negotiation ability and destructive power made the 23rd Division's headquarters in charge of the negotiation turn pale. His breathing quickened and he almost fainted. After that, he decisively listed Lin Zhong-qing as the number one person he didn't want to interact with.
After Ling Xiao received this news, he laughed proudly in his heart. His daughter had many capable people under her command. It seemed that while his daughter was increasing her strength, she didn't forget to nurture the people around her. As expected of Ling Xiao's daughter. She had inherited all his strengths.
Ling Xiao, who had turned on his silly father mode, couldn't help but praise himself. At that moment, he had already forgotten that his daughter was trying to poach people from him.
However, we believed that even if Ling Xiao remembered this, he would still pass a hoe to his daughter without hesitation and let her dig as much as she wanted. If his daughter got tired of digging, he would probably roll up his sleeves and work hard to help his daughter dig people from him.
After doing all this, Ling Lan ordered Lin Zhong-qing to separate Meng Lan from the entire base. Ling Lan wasn't so kind as to give Meng Lan, who was personally nurtured by Little Four, to the other party. Although Meng Lan was just a highly intelligent system and wasn't as intelligent as Little Four, her intelligence and ability definitely surpassed the mainframe of the Federation.
Ling Lan couldn't bear to part with such a capable Meng Lan. In her heart, Meng Lan was the mainframe of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. She was in charge of the safety of 250 Ace Mecha Clan's virtual world and ensured that their information wouldn't be leaked.
Right at that moment, an alarm sounded in the entire base. "Level one alert, level one alert. A large creature has appeared outside the base. Mecha operators, please get to your positions and prepare for battle."
Meng Lan suddenly stopped the separation process. The entire base entered level one alert. Her voice echoed throughout the entire base. All the mecha operators stopped what they were doing and rushed to the mecha hold.
"What happened?" Ling Lan was sorting out the report of the land clearing mission. When she heard Meng Lan's voice, she instantly frowned.
At that moment, Meng Lan had already transferred the image of the outside of the base to the big screens in the base. Countless tentacles appeared outside the base. Then, a large round plate slowly floated up from the lake beside the base. However, the other party only reminded the base of its existence. It didn't attack them.
"It's that thing? What is it doing? Isn't it afraid of angering me and killing it on the spot? " Ling Lan was stunned. She remembered clearly that this creature was a follower she took in when she first arrived on this planet. It had been obedient for three months. Was it going to rebel when she left?
"No. It seems to know that Boss is leaving so it's very angry." Little Four yawned lazily. Although Little Four was awake, he didn't seem to have enough sleep. He was lazy every day and would sleep whenever he had the chance.
On the other hand, Floret was told by Number Five that she was going to train. Ling Lan wanted to bring Floret back. However, when she saw Number Five's bright smile, it seemed as if he was telling her that if Floret didn't go, he would go instead. This made Ling Lan decisively pretend that she didn't know anything …
Sob, Floret, Master knows that you suffered. When you come back, Master will definitely make it up to you.
Ling Lan, who felt guilty, wanted to comfort Floret's hurt heart. If Ling Lan knew that Floret was being trained by Number Four, she would definitely choose … to let Floret take her place.
