Chapter 628: Chapter 614: Rise of Technology
"Testing ready..."
"Countdown..."
"3...2...1..."
"Buzzing..."
"It’s on! We did it!"
The Order Research Institute was in an uproar, all the researchers wearing faces full of ecstatic joy, bursting with cheers of happiness!
"We finally succeeded!"
"Yes, we did not waste our months of hard research..."
"Substituting energy with practitioners, this plan is indeed feasible, everyone’s hard work hasn’t been in vain!"
In front of an eerie giant building, a group of researchers in lab coats encouraged each other.
This is an extremely postmodern building, with four huge columns twenty meters high, cemented at the base and completely encased in iron sheets above. Even with the help of practitioners, it took four months to finally complete this massive construction.
And astonishingly, above these four pillars was a blue sphere with a radius of about ten meters. The sphere looked like a precious jewel, dazzling to behold, but a few steps closer and your hair would stand on end.
Electricity!
This enormous sphere was entirely composed of electricity!
The energy storm brought mutations, destroying the previous human way of life. In peaceful times, people were well-acquainted with electricity. It was because of electricity that technology advanced rapidly, with the world developing at an astonishing pace.
As everyone knows, the world’s electrical equipment was totally paralyzed, technological civilization suffered a deadly blow, and humans almost overnight returned to the days before liberation, to the eve of the electrical age!
Any machine that required electricity became a heap of scrap iron, and even basic lighting was a luxury.
Humans were constantly searching for solutions, trying to restore electrical technology, but no matter the efforts, electricity seemed to have completely withdrawn, disappearing from the human stage...
But, would humans accept this reality?
From ancient times, relying on sticks and stones to create weapons and once exterminating fearsome beasts, humans most enjoy challenges.
They do not have the sharp teeth of beasts nor the wings of birds to soar the skies, but they possess a spirit of perseverance unmatched by any species.
When mountains stand in their way, generations dig through them, all in anticipation of one day removing these obstacles to embrace a new world!
Huaxia people.
Are never daunted by temporary difficulties.
In light of circuits not operating properly before, researchers took a different path, harnessing the power of practitioners for research. Through relentless efforts and the devoted toil of numerous researchers, they finally achieved a breakthrough today!
One could see a massive energy electric sphere filling the air above the four pillars, where the gathered electricity reached astonishing levels, emitting a spectacular glow through the glass layer!
Witnessing the streams of current encapsulated within the glass cover, all the researchers felt an urge to cry with joy!
This is a monumental step.
Through the mysterious energy elements of practitioners, these researchers turned hypotheses into realities.
"Everyone, don’t celebrate too soon... This research-developed Energy Tower requires massive human and material resources, and maintenance is extremely complex... Moreover, to restore technology across the entire city, at least five Energy Towers are necessary..."
"With the current talent reserves of the city, it’s impossible to support continued construction, thus, our journey still has a long way to go..." a researcher caressed the new type of Energy Tower, speaking hoarsely.
"We can do it! We’ve overcome the hardest times, as long as we persist, we will succeed. The team is studying energy conservation. We lack neither funds nor talent, only time. Director, one day we will fully restore electricity to the city!" affirmed a bespectacled middle-aged man in a lab coat.
Surrounded by a dozen researchers, each person’s face brimmed with yearning for the future.
When Chen Feng learned of the good news from the research institute, he blinked, his mind slightly shaken.
He hadn’t expected that the institute had indeed managed to harness electricity!
This greatly exceeded Chen Feng’s expectations. Although, due to being limited to one Energy Tower, only one-fifth of the city could generate electricity, with the rest still relying on Light Stones or other methods for illumination, it was undeniably a tremendous leap for Order.
As long as there was electricity, fragile humans could use a myriad of tools and machinery. Not to mention, merely being able to re-use technological products could turn the Human World upside down!
Once electricity was restored, factories could function normally, allowing practitioners to be reassigned from those positions to more important tasks!
The perfect blend of technology and practitioners is certain to elevate Order’s strength to new heights, giving more confidence to humans in dealing with the Alien Race invading Earth!
Chen Feng clearly remembered that even living in his past life for so long, he’d never heard of an Energy Tower. Even the city’s management had to endure the onslaught of darkness. In just over a year, Chen Feng had already changed the original trajectory, propelling Order to a new peak!
This was mainly because many of the disasters that were supposed to befall the survivors had been thwarted by Chen Feng. Whether it was the Devil or insects, these terrifying creatures that treated humans like livestock were all defeated by Chen Feng, their bodies given to Blood Sacrifice, utterly destroyed.
Thus, the researchers survived, and with professionals from several factions coming together, the Energy Tower was born.
The energy storm in the air mutated once again, significantly increasing the chances of newborns awakening as practitioners. Over time, in another decade or so, when these infants grow up, additional Energy Towers can be added, and by then, the city’s electrical system will be fully restored!
Of course, it might not even take that long. If the current electrical practitioners’ strength could advance further, more energy could naturally be harnessed.
Five years!
Chen Feng set a plan for Order!
He aims to fully restore the city’s electrical system within five years. By then, Order will become a dazzling jewel in the world.
Chen Feng has great ambition. Today’s Order is fully capable of ascending into the ranks of super first-class cities. If there ever comes a day to reconnect with the outside world, Chen Feng aims to be that leading figure, not just a dusty pebble before so-called sons of heaven!
