"She’s that strong? I’ll go take a look at her later." After listening to Phantom’s introduction, Lin Yu was very interested in Manqiluo. He decided to visit the territory’s first Plant-Person after the meeting.
’Manqiluo’s grade is so high, likely because she received the World Tree’s blessing, just like Lin Chenxi and Phantom. As the first defensive plant to evolve into a Plant-Person, her life potential is immense. She’s definitely worth investing in.’
After Phantom finished speaking, it was Lin Chenxi’s turn to report on governmental affairs.
"My Lord, the border defense line is now complete, and construction on the second line is underway. The credit for this goes mainly to the Landscape Planning Bureau, under the Urban Construction Planning Bureau. They catalyzed a vast number of defensive plants, allowing for the line’s rapid construction."
"The Plant Hybridization Lab has also developed several hybrid plants. The ones currently planted include Thorny High Nuts, Sunshine Timid Mushrooms, Explosive Landmines, and Wild Machine Gun Shooters..."
"Over the past two months, the Research Institute has studied Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced Plant Tectology—the use of different plant characteristics to construct items from plants—the elementary level of the Star Body Refining Technique, and elementary and intermediate mathematics..."
"However, because we conquered the Glacier World, many basic research topics in the Technology Tree are already completed. This overlaps with a lot of the basic science we were previously studying, which means a lot of time was wasted."
Lin Chenxi sounded a bit dejected as she said this. The researchers at the institute had worked hard on theoretical research, only for their lord’s single, small action to be worth many years of their efforts.
"It’s all right," Lin Yu said comfortingly. "It wasn’t a waste of effort. The things we research ourselves are always easier for us to use."
"We’ll still need to assign researchers to adapt the technologies acquired directly from the Glacier World to our territory’s specific conditions. If we just implemented their existing tech as-is, it would destroy our forest environment!"
Lin Yu’s words made the dejected Lin Chenxi feel much better. She continued, "Also, due to the rapid advancement of the territory’s technology, many advanced buildings have appeared."
"The Urban Construction Planning Bureau, along with the staff from the Government Affairs Center, is discussing the territory’s upgrade. We will present a proposal as soon as possible..."
Lin Yu instructed, "Try not to use those buildings directly. We need to research our own alternatives that can be constructed without damaging the environment. It would be even better if they could integrate with the territory and grow along with it."
"If that’s the case, the territory upgrade plan might be delayed. We’ll need to first have the researchers at the institute adapt those technologies and their accompanying blueprints. It’s hard to say how much time that will take."
