Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

After removing the dust and moisture marks from the drawings, I packed them and other useful books into my backpack.

Having obtained the most important item, Wu Ou then began searching the factory's various offices and corners for anything of value, much like unpacking a treasure chest.

Finally, they found a working generator and several barrels of frozen diesel fuel.

When he returned to the base, he sensed a fluctuation of source energy.

"Has he broken through?" Wu Ou's lips curled up slightly.

Once Leng Yue breaks through, he will be able to master the basic ability of a Source Energy Scientist—Source Energy Shaping Hand.

This is a method that uses mental power to "shape" and uses source energy to wrap the corresponding material and shape it.

Therefore, energy scientists are sometimes referred to as human 3D printers.

It can be said that after discovering this, the Dragon Kingdom realized how important this group's abilities were to the country's basic reconstruction, and thus began to recruit them specifically.

Without growing too much, Wu Ou handed over the books, blueprints, and generator to Grandpa Hu, then went into the factory and ate some metal and steel materials.

As his superpower was activated, these metallic particles were stored in a pre-prepared location, ensuring they could be readily accessed when needed.

"When the ability upgrades again, we'll choose to further enhance control at the microscopic level."

Feeling the slight discomfort from these metallic particles in his body, Wu Ou had already decided on the next direction for improving his superpower.

Ultimately, I've improved my physical abilities because of the source energy.

Otherwise, if one still has the normal physical condition they had before the disaster, even with superpowers to help break down metal, they would have to maintain that condition indefinitely.

Otherwise, if so much metal falls directly into the body, it will put a huge burden on the body's movement, even if it doesn't cause poisoning.

Furthermore, he now needs to specifically obtain any metal particles from the outside if he wants them in his body.

If we could further control the atomic structure in the body, we could create metal particles ourselves.

The advancement of a civilization depends on three factors: the strength of its strongest attack method, the strength of its highest life force, and its technological level.

However, the first type of thing is often something that can only be used a few times by lower-level civilizations, and can only serve as a deterrent weapon for a certain period of time.

The second aspect is the main area of ​​development for civilizations pursued by individuals with strong personal strength.

Before its rebirth, the Blue Star civilization had planned to take this path.

But Wu Ou knew that for most civilizations, the third path, which had potential and was more suitable, was to break through the technology tree.

The advancement of technology cannot be separated from energy and materials science.

Before its rebirth, the Blue Star civilization encountered many vibrant and powerful civilizations in its early stages, but by the time it reached the intermediate stage, they all fell into a state of slow development.

Including the Blue Star civilization at that time.

Just as the Blue Star civilization was finally realizing the seriousness of the problem, some civilizations that focused on technological development had already caught up and begun to challenge these "old-fashioned" and powerful civilizations.

The end result is that these civilizations are either destroyed or join a more powerful civilization as its subordinate civilization.

"The path that Earth's civilization once strayed from must not be repeated!"

Wu Ou narrowed his eyes. He had now taken the first step in his plan. Next…

As the energy fluctuations gradually subsided, Wu Ou waited by the stove for Leng Yue to appear.

"Aren't you resting?" Leng Yue was a little surprised to see Wu Ou cooking meat soup.

"Your advancement caused such a big commotion that I have to remind everyone when your advancement fails and causes the source energy to go berserk."

"So, you've advanced!"

"Um."

"But why can't I feel you...?"

"Externalized mental power? Because our advancement paths are different, yours is mental power, and mine is supernatural ability." Wu Ou served her a bowl of meat soup.

"Mental strength, superpowers? You know quite a lot!" Leng Yue saw Wu Ou stand up and walk into the factory, put down the bowl in her hand and quickly followed him.

Noticing footsteps behind him, Wu Ou's lips curled up slightly.

stomping on...

A series of footsteps echoed through the factory.

Suddenly, Wu Ou stopped in his tracks. Beside him was a cleaned-up table.

And here, there is a large piece of scrap metal.

Whoosh!

"Huh?" Leng Yue caught the flying piece of paper between two fingers of her right hand, completely bewildered.

"Look at it, write it down, and create a detailed picture in your mind."

Wu Ou's voice came to her ears, and she felt a gentle breeze. She couldn't help but subconsciously take a step to the side.

"What are you going to do!" She frowned, looking at Wu Ou who had moved closer to her.

"It still doesn't work!" Wu Ou pouted and looked at her as he continued, "This is a simple blueprint. Use your mental power to memorize it and complete the mental drawing."

Finally, hold this in your hand and focus your attention on shaping it according to the image in your mind.

Wu Ou explained the steps directly and tossed the metal block to her.

"Huh? What are you talking about? How could I possibly..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Ou spat out a small metal knife!

"you……"

"I can do it with my special ability. Although our abilities are different, believe me, you can do what I just said."

"This concerns our upcoming cooperation plan." After saying this, Wu Ou swallowed the knife back.

This scene did indeed frighten Leng Yue.

After all, compared to ferocious animals, people who seem to have "abnormal nerves" are more likely to cause a sense of panic among fellow human beings.

Seeing that Leng Yue's expression still showed rejection, Wu Ou took a deep breath and could only continue to explain, "After humanity began to evolve after accepting this cosmic energy, there are three directions: physical body, mental power, and superpowers."

The special ability of the spiritual power evolution direction is the rapid shaping of objects.

Of course, this is just a brief overview; there would be too much time for a detailed explanation.

Leng Yue finally began to believe Wu Ou's words.

Because before this, she had never revealed it to the other party, and she also ensured that her teammates had not revealed what their special abilities were.

Through her previous battles, she realized that she possessed powerful "spiritual power," "telekinesis," or "psychic abilities"—qualities typically found only in movies and novels.

Because the effect she achieved was very convincing, and being young, she naturally wouldn't be unaware of these things.

Right now, Wu Ou's demonstrated abilities, coupled with the fact that what he said was very organized and logical, resonated with her feelings.

Looking down at the simple drawing in his hand, he saw that the drawing depicted a dagger.

There are no fancy decorations or carvings, only basic shapes and some data labels to indicate the requirements.

It can be said to be very simple.

Looking at the metal block in her hand, Leng Yue took a deep breath.

"Can I really...?"

A thought flashed through my mind.

"Hold your breath, concentrate, mobilize your source energy, and change its shape."
