I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 637 New Policies Introduced, Opportunities Emerge
That's right, less than half a month after the Extraordinary Talents Tournament ended.

The People's Federation has introduced many new policies.

For example, accelerating the expansion of spiritual plant cultivation.

In the past, due to the limited quantity of source crystals, the cultivation area for spirit plants was never very large.

Moreover, the cultivation of spiritual plants and even the production of extraordinary potions are all controlled by the government.

This is not to say that the People's Federation deliberately monopolizes and restricts the development of other forces.

Firstly, in the early days of the Extraordinary Era, Source Crystals were extremely scarce, and the technology was still in the exploratory stage, making each Source Crystal incredibly precious.
Therefore, we must concentrate our efforts on major tasks and ensure that the most important strategic direction is guaranteed.

The most reliable and efficient approach is for research and development to be led and cultivated by the government.

This avoids redundant investment and waste of resources, and also ensures that no chaos is caused.

Secondly, apart from the official authorities, other organizations and forces simply do not have the conditions to cultivate spiritual plants.

The source crystal is naturally the most important reason.

However, in addition to this, the cultivation process of spiritual plants is also extremely complicated.

If the initial care is inadequate, the growth may not be as expected, or the plant may even die.

The cultivation of the spiritual plants involved the most outstanding group of researchers in the Nine Provinces.

It took countless source crystals and a great deal of effort to finally achieve a stable output of spiritual plants.

Although the technology is relatively mature now, the barriers to entry have also been lowered.

However, for outsiders, it remains a huge and highly technical challenge.

Furthermore, if the spiritual plants produced are not processed into extraordinary potions in a timely manner, it will result in a great waste and loss.

All these restrictions have resulted in the fact that, apart from the official authorities, no other forces or organizations have the means to cultivate spiritual plants.

of course.

For top masters from the Origin Academy, cultivating spiritual plants is not difficult.

Each of them has experience in cultivating and planting spiritual plants, since planting spiritual plants is the activity that contributes the most points in daily tasks.

Therefore, these people can grow the spiritual plants themselves and then sell them to the Human Alliance or the Origin Academy.

However, so far, almost no students of the Origin Academy have chosen to cultivate spiritual plants themselves.

Cultivating spiritual plants can indeed be profitable.

But the prerequisite is that you need to make a significant investment.

If source crystals are invested in spiritual plant cultivation, it means that these resources will be almost frozen for several months or even one or two years, and cannot be used to immediately improve strength.

What if you don't practice for several months or even a year or two?
Isn't this a joke?
For the top geniuses of Origin Academy, time is the most precious thing.

But frankly speaking, it's because we didn't contribute enough points.

Most Grandmasters only earn four or five hundred contribution points per year, which is equivalent to fifty Source Crystals.

Even if all of these mere dozens of source crystals were invested...

Ultimately, the contribution points you can obtain are actually less than what you get from completing tasks.

Therefore, for the top geniuses of Origin Academy, using contribution points to exchange for readily available cultivation resources is the most cost-effective option.

But things are different now.

As the number of contribution points increases, many Grandmasters can use a portion of their Source Crystals for planting spiritual plants.

Although it may have a slight impact on their cultivation in the short term, it will still be beneficial in the long run.

Especially those grandmasters who build up their own power.

They each have their own power base, and apart from the initial stage, the subsequent tasks can be completely handed over to their subordinates.

They hardly need to worry about it.

Moreover, those top extraordinary forces all have multiple grandmasters. Each grandmaster contributes a portion of source crystals, which together constitute a considerable amount of start-up capital.

In this way, although the initial investment is large, once a stable output is formed, it can provide a stable and relatively low-cost supply of cultivation resources for the entire force.

It can even use the surplus from external sales to support the development of the organization, forming a virtuous cycle.

This has far greater long-term strategic value than going it alone and investing all resources in one's own development.

The People's Federation's policy relaxation this time is truly aimed at and expected from these top forces that have the strength, organization, and willingness to make long-term investments.

We hope to leverage their strength and resources to rapidly expand the medicinal plant industry and ultimately benefit the entire world.

Otherwise, the government alone would certainly not be able to meet the ever-increasing demand for extraordinary potions.

Even now, it's not enough!

If we don't expand the cultivation of spiritual plants, it won't be long before the production of extraordinary potions can't keep up with the rate of consumption.

Extraordinary development ultimately requires the joint efforts of all humankind.

The People's Federation only plays a guiding and stability-maintaining role.

If things continue as they were before, extraordinary development will forever remain confined to a small group of people.

Therefore, in line with the development of the times, the People's Federation decisively launched the "Guiding Plan on Comprehensively Promoting the Large-Scale and Standardized Cultivation of Spiritual Plants".

To summarize, there are three main aspects.

First: Yuanjing subsidies and preferential policies.

For organizations participating in the large-scale cultivation of spiritual plants, the People's Federation will provide a certain percentage of contribution points as subsidies based on their cultivation scale and technical assessment.

And provide some policy preferences in areas such as land approval and taxation.

Second: Establish standards and regulate the market.

The People's Federation will officially announce and formulate quality grading standards for spiritual plants and a price guidance system for their acquisition.

An official trading platform will be opened to ensure the healthy and orderly development of the plant market.

The third point is to encourage innovation!

This is the most important thing for the development of the human race.

Nowadays, spiritual plants are divided into five levels.

Level 1 spiritual plants can be used to make Level 1 to Level 2 extraordinary potions.

Level 2 spiritual plants can be used to create Level 3 extraordinary potions.

……

Level 5 spiritual plants can be used to create Level 6 extraordinary potions.

As for higher-level spiritual plants, there aren't any yet.

Cultivating high-level spiritual plants is no easy task.

For example, even with a sufficiently high concentration of source energy, a level-one spiritual plant still requires at least two months to mature.

If the energy concentration is low, it will take even longer.

A level-two spiritual plant requires at least six months to grow.

As for level three spiritual plants...

That will not only take a year, but the requirements for the concentration of source energy have also become extremely high!

If the energy concentration is insufficient, no matter how long the time is, it will be useless.

Moreover, not all spiritual plants can grow to level three.

Because the lifespan of spiritual plants also has an upper limit. Many spiritual plants will stop changing after growing to a certain extent, and then gradually die.

This is a limitation inherent to the spiritual plant itself, and has nothing to do with the concentration of source energy.

Most plants on Earth today, even those that become spirit plants, don't actually have a high growth ceiling.

The first way to break through the limit is for the spiritual plant itself to mutate.

Just like the awakening of humans and animals, only after awakening can the level of life leap forward.

In that way, the spiritual plant can continue to grow and transform.

However, the probability of this happening is very low!
Ninety-nine percent of spiritual plants cannot break through their limits.

Another approach is to intervene manually.

After years of research, the Supreme Institute of the Hong Kong Federation of People's Unions has made a breakthrough.

The research institute discovered that by guiding specific energy fields, fine-tuning at the gene level, and even introducing genes from other spiritual plants, it is possible to break the inherent growth limits of some spiritual plants to a certain extent and induce them to transform into higher-level plants.

However, this technology is currently extremely expensive, and the success rate has not increased much.

This is why the price of extraordinary potions of level four and above suddenly skyrocketed.

Level 3 potions only require 8 contribution points, but Level 4 potions require at least 20 contribution points.

For level 5 potions, the starting point is 50 contribution points!

Even so, not everyone can redeem it.

Therefore, if someone could raise the growth limit of spiritual plants, it would be a huge contribution to the current human race.

After all, once you become a Grandmaster, extraordinary potions below level three are basically useless!

Even level three medicines are not very effective.

The most effective drugs for those in the Transcendent Realm are the Level 4 and Level 5 Extraordinary Potions.

However, because level four extraordinary potions are too expensive, most grandmasters below the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm still use level three extraordinary potions.

However, the price increase of level 4 extraordinary potions is not solely due to the low probability of cultivating level 3 spiritual plants.

On the other hand, the production process of high-level extraordinary potions is also very complex.

For first, second, and third-level potions, only the essence needs to be extracted or simply diluted and blended.

The technical threshold is relatively low.

However, starting with level four potions, the production process becomes more complicated.

Because after a leap in the level of life, the active ingredients of spiritual plants are no longer simple molecules.

Instead, it exists in a high-energy, metastable state of matter, similar to plasma.

They are extremely unstable and prone to energy loss or structural collapse.

When making medicine.

It is necessary to maintain multiple such unstable high-energy substances in their active state simultaneously and mix them in precise proportions.

At the moment of mixing, complex energy interactions occur between the components.

This process needs to be carried out in a controlled energy field to provide a stable reaction environment and precisely inject energy to trigger the correct reaction path.

This requires extremely high precision in energy control.

Therefore, potions of level four and above are extremely difficult to make.

Currently, apart from the Origin Academy of Science and Technology and the Supreme Research Institute of the People's Federation, this technology is basically not available elsewhere.

Therefore, some factions can make extraordinary potions from spiritual plants grown outside, especially level one and two spiritual plants.

However, spiritual plants of level three or above can only be sold to the Human Alliance!

The policy of promoting the cultivation of spiritual plants was introduced and immediately caused a huge reaction within the human race.

This is why the masters and experts of those top extraordinary forces have not focused their attention on martial arts schools.

No matter what, a martial arts school can only make money.

Even if you can get contribution points as a subsidy, it's very little.

How can it be compared to cultivating spiritual plants?
Even if they cannot produce extraordinary potions of level four or above, for those grandmasters, planting and selling level three spiritual plants is a stable and lucrative source of contribution points.

As for martial arts schools, for those top-tier extraordinary forces, the biggest benefit is actually recruiting geniuses in advance.

In addition to the policy on cultivating spiritual plants.

The People's Federation also fully disclosed the exchange channels for basic extraordinary martial arts.

In the past, extraordinary martial arts techniques could only be exchanged by extraordinary forces or official organizations.

But now, anyone with superhuman abilities can download and redeem it from the official website.

As for high-level extraordinary martial arts, they are not yet available.

This is mainly because high-level extraordinary martial arts are extremely powerful, and the blood circulation paths and power generation techniques involved are extremely exquisite and complex.

If someone lacks the necessary character and strength to force themselves to cultivate, it can easily lead to a backlash of qi and blood, damage to the meridians, and even endanger their life.

Blindly opening up is tantamount to forcing growth, and will instead create a large number of uncontrollable risks.

This is why guidance from strong individuals is needed.

Joining a supernatural force and having a powerful mentor can save you a lot of trouble.

Also.

Now, for any level 5 martial artist, the price to exchange for the Source Energy Body Tempering Technique has been reduced from ten contribution points to five contribution points.

It can be said that this greatly lowered the threshold for martial artists to become extraordinary individuals.

These are basically policies targeting extraordinary individuals.

In addition, there are many new directions in the field of technology.

The most important aspects are the use of extraordinary materials and the integration of extraordinary power with modern technology.

For example, energy armor.

Through this extraordinary competition, especially the battles on the Grandmaster Ranking.

Many people have discovered that ordinary weapons, even those made of the highest-grade alloy steel, titanium alloy, or even tungsten steel, cannot withstand the power of top-tier experts.

Some weapons were destroyed by others.

Some cannot even withstand the burst of their own energy and blood.

If this is already the case for Grandmasters, what will happen when they break through to the Unity Realm?

It seems there won't be any way to fight using weapons!
Therefore, it is now necessary to develop other weapons and equipment.

For example, the corpses of mythical beings can be used as materials to forge weapons.

Alternatively, the weapon structure could be reinforced in other ways so that when it is subjected to an impact, the force is dispersed throughout the weapon by the rune array or even directed into the void, rather than being borne by the material itself.

This is like putting an "energy armor" on a weapon.

Its physical strength is only the foundation; the real load-bearing capacity comes from this extraordinary energy field.

As long as the extraordinary energy field is strong enough, the weapon will naturally not be damaged.

Of course, this is just a rough idea at the moment, and it is still a long way from being realized.

In comparison, crafting weapons using extraordinary materials is actually less difficult.
