After more than 200 days of development with abundant manpower and material resources, the oasis that was originally used by the LS Group for experimental purposes had turned into a vast farm that stretched from south to north and from east to west. One would need to drive for one to two hours before they could see the edge of the farm.
Grazing herds could be seen everywhere. Pieces of well-grown and moderately sized farmland were neatly reclaimed in the middle of the herds of livestock, presenting a lively and orderly scene everywhere.
In the ranch, under the hot sun, the cowboys who had long replaced the horses with agricultural pickup trucks with strong off-road capabilities drove the herds of livestock with an inexplicable satisfied expression on their sweaty faces.
However, in the distance, an old white man who was standing upright on the co-driver seat of the convertible jeep and looking around with binoculars in his hand had a worried look on his face. When he heard a short and fat companion dressed in a suit behind him exclaiming in admiration, "Look, Professor Carnegie, Dr. Kaqinu, the Hope Farm is simply a miracle in the desert.
If it wasn't for the big damn sun hanging above our heads in December, what difference would this place be from the big farms in California and Utah during peacetime? Only the BOSS can create such a miracle … Ahem, of course, all of you have contributed as well.
Ahem, of course, you guys have also contributed and can be said to be one of its founders. History will remember this … "Immediately, he pointed at a group of strange animals that looked like fat pigs but had the size of beef cows that were shaking their heads and chewing on the grass about 500 to 600 meters away from the front of the car and sighed as he interrupted," Mr. Charlie, I can understand the pride in your heart.
But do you think there will be livestock like the Swine Beasts on the California ranch? "
"Oh, Professor, our ancestors didn't eat chili 1,000 years ago, and corn was not one of the staple foods of humans 500 years ago. Why do you have to reject these beasts from the supernatural realm so much?" When Charlie saw that the old man had begun to preach at such an inappropriate time, he replied disapprovingly, "The farm is so hot all year round, so we can't just raise camels, right?
Animals that have a growth cycle that is five times longer than the average beef cow can't form a stable meat source. "
"It's still better than being invaded by foreign species. Swine beasts are different from chili peppers and corn. They come from a different 'world' from us," Carnegie looked into the distance and said in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with brown hair, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, wearing light yellow shorts and a sweatshirt sitting in the back row with Charlie finally couldn't help but frown. "Professor Carnegie, I don't know what you're talking about.
I respect your professional achievements in the field of geology, but you may not be as good at animal husbandry as you think.
Domesticated livestock don't have the problem of species invasion because they are always within a controllable range. Moreover, the farm is surrounded by desert, which makes it even more isolated … "
"Dr. Kaqinu, the meaning of 'species invasion' in a broad sense does not only refer to the invasion of biological races but also the field of genetic evolution.
The food we ingest will always subtly influence the future development of genes. Of course, this influence does not refer to the short period of 100 or 200 years … "The white old man gushed out his thoughts.
The tall man, on the other hand, also retorted in a lengthy manner, "Professor Carnegie, I can't believe that you actually believe in the ridiculous and ridiculous theory of maintaining the purity of the 'universe' of the Atlanteans.
Don't you know that a truly excellent species often needs to go through hybridization to pass the test of time and natural elimination? The word 'purity' is almost equivalent to 'failure' in the field of evolution … "
Listening to the meaningless and profound debate of the two scientists, Charlie, who could not fully understand the meaning of it, secretly found it funny. When he saw that Carnegie and Kaqinu were getting more and more serious, he shrugged and said in a joking tone, "Alright, Professor, Doctor, none of us three 'nobodies' can decide the future of the farm.
Do you think it's meaningful to have such an argument in front of me? "
"Of course, Mr. Charlie! Scientific discussion will never be meaningless at any time!" Kaqinu immediately replied loudly. Carnegie, on the other hand, became silent for a moment and no longer argued. Smiling, he asked Charlie, "Mr. Charlie, where's the big shot who can decide the fate of this farm under our feet that is destined to be a milestone symbol of mankind's conquest of the Noah World?
I plan to ask him to go back to New Orleans B for Christmas. I have five daughters' Christmas gifts to choose. "
"Haha … Dr. Kaqinu, the boss is busy with something important, so he may not have time to see you for the time being. However, he has already told me that the ban on the farm will be lifted during the Christmas period, so you can leave at any time.
By the way, do you want to bring a few ponies home as gifts? Your current salary is enough to afford these expensive pets for your daughters. I think they'll like it very much. "
"What a good suggestion, Mr. Charlie!" Kaqinu nodded with great interest and casually said, "Do you know what Sir Lisheng is busy with? If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."
"I don't know about this, but maybe it's another big event that may cause a sensation in the future." Charlie's gaze unwittingly shifted to the direction of the experimental oasis where the Hope Farm originated and replied in an admiring tone. In reality, he did not think that the boss, who was almost omnipotent in his mind, was actually doing something that would have such a great impact on the entire Colossal World …
In the land that had just turned from a sandy land to a grassland, in the high-pressure environment, the dark surging cold spring water replaced the dazzling sunlight and the warm air, killing all living things except for microorganisms.
For thousands of years, no one had ever trespassed into this forbidden zone of life. However, at this moment, a human-headed, snake-bodied monster covered in densely packed yellow, red, blue, and cyan scales was swinging its thick tail leisurely, swimming in the underground ice spring, diving deeper and deeper into it.
The waves rippled, and soon, the Fiendcelestial dived to the deepest part of the lake. His body slid on the moss, and he came to the only protruding oval-shaped stone mountain at the bottom of the vast, flat lake.
The Demon God's ferocious face slowly revealed a satisfied smile as he caressed the intricate patterns on the boulder. With the appearance of this faint smile, an extremely powerful repulsive force spread forward with his body as the starting point, slowly pushing away the massive amount of water in the lake and forcefully forming a moist land at the bottom of the lake.
"That's it!" After creating a miracle similar to Moses splitting the sea, the demon god did not have a smug expression on his face at all. Looking at the stone mountain in front of him, he muttered to himself, "So it's an egg and not an embryo fossil. Hmm, it's already recovered enough vitality."
After that, he shut his mouth and pondered for a long time before muttering to himself again, "An egg gives birth to a worm, and a fetus gives birth to a beast.
By right, the creature in this stone egg should be a kind of ancient strange worm according to the ancient Chinese classification method. It's very suitable and simple to refine it into a wizard gu, but why do I feel so uneasy in front of it?
I've already traced back to the ancestral god's bloodline of witchcraft and obtained the Nuwa's inheritance, so what kind of strange worm can't I subdue? How could I possibly have such an ominous premonition? Don't tell me that what's bred in this stone egg is really the Taotie that can devour planets from the Colossal World era?
But the True Book of Mountains and Seas says, 'In the north of China and the south of Copper Hill, there's a beast that lives there. Its body is like a mountain and its head is like a cave. It's gluttonous and tyrannical, and its dreams are the most ominous summons.' This Taotie should be a beast.
Ah, that's right! The description of the Taotie in the Southern Guide is, 'There's an ancient strange creature that floats in the water. It's neither an insect nor a beast. It's born once every 10,000 years, and when it matures, it'll devour the world' … "
After pondering over it, countless ancient books buried in the depths of his memory appeared in his mind, but he still could not come up with a correct conclusion. The usual cautious character of the human-headed snake-bodied demon god was gradually worn away. When he encountered a difficult problem that he could not avoid, the ruthless and resolute nature in his bones began to erupt.
"Who cares if it's a worm or a beast? It's already in my pocket anyway. If it's a strange worm, I'll refine its body. If it's an ancient beast, I'll seize its soul. Don't tell me that I, a dignified god, would still be afraid of a 'little thing' that has just hatched from a stone egg …" Finally, he made up his mind to take a risk and muttered his last sentence. Taking off a piece of scale from his shoulder, he threw it out and slowly closed his eyes.
The piece of scale that floated out from the demon god's hand was a piece of leather that had miniature patterns of oceans, continents, mountains, rivers, and lakes on its surface. It floated in the water and spread out rapidly in all directions. Soon, it became so huge that it seemed to have shrouded the entire underground.
Sensing that the time had come, the demon god opened his eyes and clenched his fists before waving them forward. Gritting his teeth, he exerted all his strength and began to use his divine power to guide the immeasurable amount of sand and water to wash and infiltrate the mountain-like fossil egg. In an instant, the undercurrent surged, and the movement of the earth's crust within a radius of thousands of kilometers became chaotic.
No matter how strong his power was, he would soon be exhausted if he used it without holding back. A few minutes later, the demon god's skin that was originally shiny slowly became dim and withered. His eyes that were as deep as the stars also gradually lost their luster.
Fortunately, at this time, the stone egg that had its vitality replenished to saturation finally began to undergo a qualitative change. Millions of fine lines appeared on the stone shell, and countless stone powder drifted out.
As soon as the stone powder appeared, it seemed to spread out endlessly, stirring the clear water into a turbid state. Not long after, a strange sound that sounded like an animal grinding its teeth suddenly resonated in the depths of the chaotic lake.
As soon as the sound appeared, it penetrated thousands of meters of the earth's crust and faintly spread across the entire desert. In the hundreds of oasis cities, most of the young people with good hearing among the federal citizens who were originally enjoying their holidays noticed the abnormality, causing the streets to be filled with people frowning and looking around in surprise.
