The detector was just a small interlude. Ren Baqian and Yang Sen's topic returned to Teng Yue's severed limb.
As time was too short, not many things had been discovered so far. However, the most important thing had already been revealed to everyone.
Since ancient times, humans had never been so close to immortality.
Even if their lifespan was doubled, countless people would be willing to exchange their entire family fortune for it.
Not to mention the huge impact it would have on society.
Now, a person studied for a total of 13 years from primary school to graduation from university. In society, they could work for another 35 years.
If they studied for 20 years, they could only work for 28 years. After experiencing a short peak, they would start to go downhill when they had the most experience.
Thirteen to 20 years was too short for current technology. They might not even be able to reach the peak in one aspect.
If a person's lifespan was doubled, then a student who studied for 40 years would be able to reach an extremely high level of attainment in one aspect. Furthermore, after working for over 50 years, they would be able to maintain their peak for 20 to 30 years.
If there was such a day, the entire society would be filled with all kinds of elites and talents in various fields.
A long lifespan would allow countless people to devote their lives to their hobbies without having to weigh the gains and losses in a short period of time.
The speed of technological advancement could be increased by five times, ten times, or even more.
The technological level that originally required 1,000 years to achieve could be achieved in a short 100 years. It could be said that there would be new changes every day.
That would be a beautiful utopia. People would have more time to pursue their ideals and not for money.
After all, in modern society, due to the oppression of life, people had no choice but to focus on how to earn money to support their families at a very young age. And if their lifespan was extended by a lot, young people would have more time to do all kinds of things for the sake of their ideals and interests without caring for returns.
Just thinking about that kind of world would make people feel wonderful and excited.
The empress didn't understand what kind of changes would happen, but Ren Baqian could imagine it and could understand the excitement that Yang Sen revealed.
"Don't expect too much for the time being. This kind of thing isn't that easy to research." Ren Baqian wasn't pouring cold water on Yang Sen. In fact, he also had a lot of expectations. However, it was hard to say to what extent the current technology on Earth could be researched.
"This is already a straight road. At the end of the road is Rome. What we have to do next is to take one step at a time and keep moving forward, "Yang Sen said. He already had a direction, and everything was in front of him. Next, he just had to work hard in this direction. It wasn't that he was clueless, but he had a very clear goal.
He believed that even if he couldn't see it, his son could.
Ren Baqian told Yang Sen everything he knew about Spirit Wheel experts. The empress would also occasionally add a few words to make Yang Sen's trip worthwhile.
However, before Yang Sen left, he made a request. It was for the various materials in the blessed land.
After all, there were many things that did not seem to be related to each other on the surface, but they could allow one to gain a deeper understanding of the Blessed Enclave, and they might be able to easily solve some of the difficult problems one might encounter in research.
Ren Baqian had brought too little with him.
If it was before, Yang Sen would not be anxious. However, after obtaining the corpse, the entire research institute became excited, and so did he. Furthermore, it was very likely that the Messier 87 department and the laboratory would continue to expand, and more talents would be transferred to them. This was good news for him.
Regarding this, Ren Baqian still had the same attitude. He would use things in exchange. Although he didn't mind contributing to this matter, he didn't want to do so. Furthermore, no one would recognize his contributions in the future. On the contrary, it was better for both sides to maintain this kind of equal cooperation.
Even if the value of the things that Earth offered was lower, such as some "cheap" things like skunk bombs in exchange for the corpse of a Spirit Wheel expert, he could still accept it.
…
After staying on Earth for another day, Ren Baqian brought the empress and the silly girl back to Dayao.
"Your Majesty, take a rest first. I will see if those people have returned." After Ren Baqian returned to the room he was in before he left, he looked at the fool beside him who still had a lifeless look on her face and was looking at the surroundings with a curious gaze. He thought for a while and said, "I'll take this girl with me first."
After leaving the room, Ren Baqian threw the silly girl to the guard and asked him to find a place to settle her down.
Ren Baqian was prepared to keep this girl for the time being. When he returned to Dayao, he would bring her back to Lan City and settle her down in a place like the beast park to do chores within her capabilities.
Ren Baqian felt that even if she recovered her memory one day, it wouldn't cause any trouble. After all, how much could a 16 or 17-year-old girl know? Furthermore, in this world that was full of danger, she might not even be able to walk out of Tianjing Basin by herself. In a few days, she would be sold to a brothel.
However, Ren Baqian didn't want to take this risk, and it was most appropriate to place her not far from him.
After the guard took Wang Baobao away, Ren Baqian looked for Gong Zheng and asked, "Are they back yet?"
Ren Baqian was naturally asking about those practitioners who went to spy on them.
Gong Zheng looked up at the position of the moon and replied, "Not yet. It has been more than a day and a night. If there are no accidents, it should be about time."
"Inform me when they are back," Ren Baqian said.
…
Under the moonlight, Zhan Changkong was carrying a man in his thirties in one hand and a long saber in the other as he ran. At this moment, his embroidered clothes were tattered beyond recognition, his hair was disheveled, and his face was stained with blood. He didn't have any of his previous elegance.
A few hundred meters behind him, two silhouettes appeared and disappeared like ghosts.
"Chief, put me down. Green Ghost and White Ghost definitely won't be able to catch up to you." The man he was carrying had a lot of blood stains on his body. There were also two arrows shot through his body, one of which penetrated his abdomen and the other through his chest.
This person was the warehouse supervisor of the Golden Ring Residence, Zhan Chiyang. The others who went with him were nowhere to be seen.
"Talk less. I can definitely bring you back. "Zhan Changkong gritted his teeth.
"Chief, it doesn't matter if I die, but the entire Golden Ring Residence needs you to support it," Zhan Chiyang said weakly.
"How can I face everyone in the residence if I go back alone with five people?" Zhan Changkong laughed bitterly.
He felt a chill in his heart when he thought about the scouting mission.
He didn't expect that there would be a spy in this group. All the practitioners who came from the south would bring experts from the same sect as them to prove their loyalty.
This person was no exception.
No one expected him to be a spy.
Using the head of an Earth Wheel expert from the same sect as a price to sneak in as a spy, what kind of price and decisiveness was this? Just thinking about it made Zhan Changkong feel a chill in his heart.
It was precisely because of this person that this group of people directly fell into the other party's trap. Nearly half of the experts died on the spot. The others scattered and escaped, but some of them died under the pursuit of the other party's experts.
Among the five people from the Golden Ring Residence, the inner supervisor, Xu Ke, and the deputy supervisor, Liu Jing, died on the spot. The outer supervisor, Ling Zekuan, was blocking the enemy for Zhan Changkong. Currently, the Green Ghost and White Ghost were still behind, and Ling Zekuan was nowhere to be seen.
As for the Spirit Wheel expert, Zuo Cheng, who was in charge of the scouting mission, he had long been entangled. Not only did the other party have Spirit Wheel experts, but there were also two of them!
