Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

He used the Life Lotus to deeply cultivate the Blue-striped Eucommia, eventually producing Level 1 Special Material grade fruits.

The fruits of ordinary Eucommia trees are a type of flat-winged fruit.

In contrast, the fruits of Blue-striped Eucommia have become spindle-shaped, with the same blue patterns on the surface and containing metal components, making them feel quite hard to touch.

After several processing procedures, the eucommia gum extracted from the Blue-striped Eucommia fruit can yield the invaluable Silent Gel.

Across the entire Canglan Star, this is the first time humans have cultivated Level 1 Exotic Material.

Previous Level 1 Exotic Materials were all naturally occurring.

In the eyes of the Great Xia official, this matter is of great importance, hence the weight of Celestial Star Agriculture in the minds of the upper echelons has risen a notch.

The first time Celestial Star Agriculture participated in supplying the Pioneer Alliance, it was rated as the highest "Level 1 Supplier," for this reason.

Ling Shuiling stood beside him, smiling as she shared a piece of news: "The group from the Superpower Research Institute’s Special Plant Research Institute, who’ve come to study Blue-striped Eucommia, have almost gone mad these past few days. Many researchers simply sleep in the farm when they get tired and continue studying upon waking, working at least 16 hours a day."

The Director of the Special Plant Research Institute, Chang Yiming, is an old acquaintance of Yang Fan.

When the news that "Blue-striped Eucommia fruit can be extracted for Level 1 Exotic Material" spread, Director Chang, using his relationship, quickly dispatched a batch of subordinates to study the Blue-striped Eucommia.

Yang Fan clicked his tongue, "Aren’t they afraid of sudden death doing this?"

The female secretary shook her head and laughed, "I asked, and now the institute has begun distributing ’Calming Potion,’ so there should be no risk of sudden death."

Yang Fan was speechless, "These guys really know how to have fun."

The so-called "Calming Potion" was originally developed by the Superpower Research Institute as a treatment for severe insomnia.

The potion embeds a trace of supernatural traits, and once consumed, it guarantees more than 4 hours of deep sleep, quickly restoring energy.

This deep sleep is more death-like than a pig’s, even thunder won’t wake one up, hence many jokingly refer to it as the "Dead Pig Potion."

He immediately realized that some researchers must have experienced the effects of the Calming Potion, felt it could improve work efficiency, and strongly recommended it to the top, turning a medicine for insomnia into a "Ox-Horse Potion" for workaholics.

Thinking for a moment, Yang Fan said, "Let’s go take a look at the laboratory."

The laboratory within the Gel Farm is currently occupied by a group of researchers from the Superpower Research Institute.

Ling Shuiling nodded, took out her phone, and after some operation, said, "The electric car will be ready soon."

Soon.

A small smart electric car, with only two open seats, automatically drove over.

Due to the vast area of the farm, just walking from the first to the tenth layer would take several hours.

So there are dozens of smart electric cars here, meant for internal commuting within the farm.

Just open the phone app and click "I need a car," and an electric car will automatically drive over.

After the two got on the car, it automatically started, passing through room after room of planting houses, and quickly headed toward the elevator direction.

Blue-striped Eucommia is a highly "volatile" tree species.

If two Blue-striped Eucommia plants are placed in the same space, they release pheromones to attack each other, greatly affecting gel yield.

To solve this problem, the farm internally isolated numerous "single rooms" with an area of 25 square meters, wherein each room only planted one Blue-striped Eucommia.

The technology of this farm is very advanced, with many sensors installed in each planting room to closely monitor environmental parameters like light and temperature.

The control system is an intelligent AI that can adjust the intensity of light, humidity, etc., anytime based on parameter changes, ensuring the Blue-striped Eucommia is in the optimal growth environment.

Despite its large-scale area, the Gel Farm employs less than a hundred staff.

Most staff work quite leisurely, mostly watching the computer screen on duty.

However, just these few dozen people have achieved a staggering output of 25 billion this year, covering half the share of the Pioneer Alliance’s order.

The other half share will start being delivered gradually next year.

The profitability of the supernatural industry is evident from this, which is why the whole world is frantically investing in the supernatural industry now.

Sitting in the electric car, Yang Fan looked at the rows of Blue-striped Eucommia behind the glass walls.

Most of the Eucommia trees are 1 to 2 meters high, yet to reach maturity to flower and bear fruit.

He turned to look at the female secretary and asked, "How many Blue-striped Eucommia trees are in the Gel Farm now?"

Ling Shuiling replied without hesitation, "Currently, there are more than 16,800 trees, of which 5,400 trees are fully mature, they can bear fruit once every three months.

"The remaining more than 11,400 immature plants, over 40% will gradually mature in the next three months, then officially enter the fruiting period.

"By then, gel yield will increase significantly, and by next June, the Pioneer Alliance’s order can be fully delivered."

Enthusiastically, the female secretary said, "Last month the military took several kilograms of gel samples from here, saying it was for making engine silent chambers.

"The test results surprisingly exceeded expectations. Submarine noise dropped by an order of magnitude, and the noise of small drones became negligible. Next year, the military will definitely place a big order."

She then smiled, "So now the military calls Celestial Star Agriculture every day, urging us to expand production capacity quickly."
