Shen Yuchi had been in a good mood recently. Although he had suffered heavy losses recently, the bureau was still the eyes and ears of the Federation.
As the anomalies in various parts of the Federation were getting worse, Shen Yuchi used various channels to make up for his losses.
However, the main reason why Shen Yuchi was in a good mood wasn't because of this. It was because of their recent discovery on the Moon.
Although the Earth's anomalies were getting worse and worse and it was disadvantageous to the development of technology, it wasn't completely without benefits.
The physique of humans had greatly improved. Coupled with powerful Companion Beasts, their survivability in space had greatly increased.
Some humans with Mythical Companion Beasts, coupled with some space suits and other equipment, could do much more in space than before.
However, there were very few people who were willing to develop the space industry. Shen Yuchi was one of the more determined ones.
He always believed that even in this era, technology would one day occupy an important position.
This was especially so for aerospace technology. Shen Yuchi had invested quite a bit in this area.
More than two months ago, humans landed on the Moon again and made a major discovery there.
There, they discovered a dimensional zone. Furthermore, they discovered a large number of Essence Crystals in the dimensional zone. Apart from that, they also discovered something very strange. Shen Yuchi felt that this discovery might be able to change the current situation of the Federation.
As this moon landing operation was mainly promoted by the bureau, most of the astronauts on the Moon were from the bureau, so this news was quickly blocked by Shen Yuchi.
This will be the foundation of the bureau's comeback. I can't afford to make any more mistakes. Shen Yuchi thought through the key details again and confirmed that he hadn't missed anything. Only then did he relax and pour himself a cup of tea.
Just as he picked up the teacup and before it touched his lips, someone reported, "Director-General … found … found it …"
The words were unclear, but Shen Yuchi was overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately got up, walked out of the office, and came to the main control room of the moon landing project.
"Director-General Shen, there was a message from the Moon just now. We've finally found it," an old professor said excitedly.
Shen Yuchi suppressed his excitement and said, "Connect the communications. I want to see that thing."
"Yes." The staff quickly established a communication connection with the Moon. Not long after, they saw an image of a certain spot on the Moon appear on the big screen.
A few people in spacesuits were in a pit on the moon. In that pit, one could see quite a number of Yuan crystal ores.
Shen Yuchi didn't look at the Primordial Crystal ores at all. Although the reserves of the Primordial Crystal ores here weren't lower than the reserves of the bureau's Primordial Crystal ores, mining and transporting them was a problem. There was no good solution for the time being.
Even if all of them were dug out, it would take some time to transport them all back.
In contrast, there was something in the crystal ore that caught Shen Yuchi's attention.
It was a tree root, the tip of which was as thick as a finger. It twisted and meandered all the way into the crystal ore. The root was as black as ink, but there were no signs of contamination.
It was clearly as black as charcoal, but it gave off a feeling of holiness.
"Yes, that's it. Dig it out." Shen Yuchi suppressed the excitement in his heart and gave the order.
"Roger that." After the astronaut received the order, he summoned a Companion Beast that looked like a rat but was as large as an ox. It continued digging along the roots.
The Companion Beast was at the Mythical stage. Among all the astronauts, there was only one. It was also because of its existence that these discoveries had been made.
Only Mythical Companion Beasts could survive in ordinary space environments and work normally.
Although some Epic creatures could barely survive, it was very difficult for them to work normally.
In the beginning, Shen Yuchi only wanted to know if the Moon had undergone any anomalies.
If the Moon hadn't undergone any anomalies, perhaps he could build a base on it in preparation for the future large-scale breakout of Earth's dimensional zones.
If the Federation really couldn't hold on, there was still a way out that wasn't considered a retreat route.
With humanity's current physique, as long as they could build a sealed base, it wasn't impossible to live on the Moon.
Of course, many resources still needed to be obtained from Earth. That was only a final guarantee.
In the beginning, they didn't discover any anomalies or dimensional zones on the Moon. Later, when they sampled, they discovered a Primordial Crystal mine. That wasn't much.
While digging for samples from the Primordial Crystal mine, the Mythical Companion Beast dug up something from it.
It was a petal that was as white as snow without any impurities. It was as holy as a snowflake.
The petal was like a fossil. It was wrapped in the Primordial Crystal mine, but it didn't petrify or wither. It still maintained its vibrant vitality.
To be able to discover a Primordial Crystal mine on the Moon, it wasn't a big deal to discover some plants.
However, when the petal wrapped in the Primordial Crystal mine was taken out, something that shocked everyone happened.
As they didn't know what the petal was, they took it out in a sealed environment. Furthermore, it was operated by a Companion Beast.
The Companion Beast operating it wasn't of a high level. It was just a Legendary Nature Elf.
Although Nature Elves's level wasn't high, they looked similar to humans. They could carry out precise work, so there were many similar Companion Beasts in typical laboratories.
The moment the Nature Elf touched the petal, the petal melted and was absorbed by the Nature Elf. In just a few hours, the Nature Elf advanced to the Epic stage.
This discovery shocked everyone.
Shen Yuchi immediately ordered a lockdown on the news and continued digging in the Primordial Crystal mine.
Indeed, he dug up a few more petals and conducted some experiments. The results of the experiments confirmed that such petals could indeed advance a Companion Beast.
Just one petal could easily advance a Legendary to the Epic stage.
However, as there were too few petals, there was no way to test if petals could advance an Epic Companion Beast to the Mythical stage.
After some simple research on these petals, he realized that they resembled the petals of an osmanthus flower. However, he didn't know why such petals were on the Moon.
Shen Yuchi and many people from the East District immediately thought of a legend in the East District. In that legend, there was indeed an osmanthus tree on the Moon.
In order to confirm if there really was such an osmanthus tree, the Mythical Companion Beast had been working hard to dig over the past few days. Now, they had finally gained something.
"If a petal has such a magical effect, what about a tree?" Shen Yuchi felt his heart beating very fast just thinking about it.
