Mythological Revival Begins with Sanxingdui

"Yes, but they've blocked the news. Right now, countries all over the world aren't united; instead, their territories are more clearly divided, and they're all hiding the relics within their own territories."

Who could have imagined that the world would change so much in just ten years?

Countries with cultural relics experience rapid technological advancements, while those without relics fade into history within just two years.

Now, those powerful countries are all going through historical records, looking for reasons to annex other countries, and some are even using the Bible as an excuse.

For no other reason than to acquire more relics.

Faced with the bizarre actions of the federal congressmen, the representative of Great Xia did not tolerate them and directly pulled out the Classic of Mountains and Seas, saying that if we really want to talk about history, the whole world belongs to Great Xia.

Perhaps out of fear of the hidden strength of the Great Xia, this farce finally came to an end.

The Great Xia Dynasty has long since closed itself off from other countries, focusing instead on researching the technological civilization found within its ruins.

"So, the relics on land have already been divided up?"

Gu Changsong never expected things to turn out like this in just ten years.

Whenever relics appear on land, the army will take control immediately. In the first few years, there were military conflicts, but now no one dares to take action.

Because no one knows what kind of technology the other party possesses.

The relics on land are only a small part; most are hidden in subspace using space folding technology. What you should really be concerned about is the deep sea, which is the true domain of ancient civilizations.

Lu Shu spoke slowly.

"deep sea?"

Everyone looked at it in confusion.

[That's right. The vast ocean is the perfect testing ground for ancient civilizations. I just calculated that the ocean area of ​​the Imperial Star has now tripled in size, but no one has noticed this due to the appearance of ruins on land.]

Whenever a relic appears, it means that the subspace there has disappeared, and the landscape will change as a result.

Therefore, the landmass is constantly expanding, just like a document being decompressed.

Everyone's attention was focused on the land, but they were completely unaware that the area of ​​the sea was also expanding.

Moreover, many relics possess unique magnetic fields that are difficult to detect unless observed with special instruments.

Clearly, current social civilization does not possess such means.

"You mean we should shift our focus to the sea, right?"

Gu Changsong understood what Lu Shu meant.

Since the relics on land have already been divided up, let's focus on the sea, where the relics are hard for others to notice.

[That's right, the technology we acquired in the ancient Dian Kingdom can come in handy.]

As Lu Shu spoke, he brought up the projector.

A group of ichthyosaurs appeared.

Since Jiang Ran obtained access to the ancient Dian Kingdom ruins, these fish-like creatures have been sent out by Lu Shu.

Over the course of ten years, they searched almost the entire ocean, marking every possible location where relics might be found, all for this very moment.

"To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. I have already selected several locations for you based on the information. Only by mastering the technology there can we enter the ruins of more advanced civilizations."

As Lu Shu spoke, he marked several locations with his whiskers.

"What kind of ruins are these?"

Gu Changsong looked at the location marked by Lu Shu with some confusion.

The Di people's country, also known as the Hu people's country.

Lu Shu explains.

"Is this the predecessor of the Yufu?"

Upon hearing the name, Gu Changsong immediately realized what it meant.

[That's right, if you want to operate in the deep sea, you must master this technology. But don't worry, the Di people are long extinct, there's no danger there.]

"When do we leave?"

Gu Changsong didn't think too much about it. After all, ancient ruins are full of uncertainties, and no one can guarantee that there won't be any accidents.

【You can't go. The Di people's kingdom is located in the deep sea, and your current physical condition can't withstand that water pressure, so only she can go.】

Lu Shu turned his gaze to Qiu Yaqin.

Of the four, only she and Jiang Ran could withstand that level of water pressure. Jiang Ran was still in the ascending stage and couldn't leave, so only she could go.

"No, it's too dangerous for her to be alone."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ming immediately stood up to object.

His previous trip to Fuxian Lake was still fresh in his mind, so how could he possibly let Qiu Yaqin go on an adventure alone now?

If they encounter danger, they won't have time to rescue anyone.

"How about I go with Sister Yaqin?"

Just then, Jiang Ran suddenly spoke up.

"You? No way! Your most important task right now is to adapt to the reactions after the dimensional upgrade as quickly as possible. You can't take any risks."

Gu Changsong rejected his proposal outright.

Actually, there is another way.

Lu Shu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"What method?"

Everyone immediately looked at Lu Shu.

[To cultivate a batch of androids to assist you, we need living genes. Although the gene bank has stored quite a few, we need your authorization.]

The androids that Lu Shu was talking about were not like Gu Changsong and his group, but rather a kind of intelligent machine that had no memory or emotions, only the most basic behavioral logic and instincts.

These androids were common in ancient times, and they were usually used as servants to do odd jobs.

"Are there any drawbacks?"

Jiang Ran knew that if it were really that simple, Lu Shu would have brought it up long ago, instead of waiting until now.

The downside is that they are easily influenced by external factors and can easily go out of control, unless their code level is very high, like humans, and they can think independently.

The subtext of Lu Shu's words is that in order to obtain high-level androids, one must transplant human consciousness, just like Gu Changsong and the others.

"Let me think about it."

Jiang Ran did not make a decision immediately, but began to consider the pros and cons.

Ordinary androids can be mass-produced and are fine for handling miscellaneous tasks, but the place they need to go is ancient ruins, which is definitely not an option.

If it gets out of control due to some influence, it can easily backfire.

Advanced androids require human consciousness and emotions; in other words, they are real people in a different body.

He can't possibly kill people just to create androids, can he?

"Wait! Maybe this will work too!"

A sudden inspiration struck Jiang Ran.

"Wait a moment, I have a solution."

After greeting the others, Jiang Ran immediately connected his consciousness to the network and began quickly browsing the information.

"Found it!"

Soon, Jiang Ran found the target he wanted.

Several projections appeared out of thin air and were displayed in front of everyone.

"What do you need these for?"

Gu Changsong looked at Jiang Ran with some confusion.

"These people are all terminally ill or dying, and each of them has achieved considerable success in their respective fields. I plan to negotiate with them to see if they would be willing to join us."

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he activated the teleporter and brought all these people to the Yuwang Gene Bank.
