"I gave many people a special homework assignment in the last class. Now that a few days have passed, I think it's time for you to hand in your homework."

Turning around, Somo wrote that special question on the blackboard again.

'If the five great ancestral gods don't come now, how much longer will it take for us humans to have a chance to resist?'

Then, he looked towards the area on the left side of the auditorium that was covered with red cloth.

"The first opportunity to answer questions, I would like to give to a special guest. Today is the second time in his life that he has come here to speak."

“Let us have an invitation”

"Mayor Chen Shen!"

Wow.

With a startled intake of breath, Chen Shen slowly walked out of the shadows and stood beside Su Mo.

He has never visited this place again since he came once before when the Academy of Sciences was established. He treats it as a place independent of the Academy of Sciences.

In addition, the Chen family has deliberately taken many scapegoats over the years for the sake of the overall interests of the Tianyuan territory.

As a result, these scientific researchers who specialize in academic research are even more disdainful of the power-focused Mayor Chen and the acting lord.

But now, with the crisis of life and death approaching, he finally came here again.

Attend as a special "student".

Looking around at the countless people in the auditorium, Chen Shen bowed slightly and showed an apologetic smile.

"Before coming here, I thought about many answers to this question raised by Dean Su."

"There are things you want to hear, and there are things you don't want to hear."

"But now, when I actually stand here and see you, I only have one thought left in my heart."

He straightened up and his eyes shot out like lightning: "From this moment on, I solemnly declare as the mayor of Hope City and the general manager of supplies in the territory."

"Starting from May 14, Year 9 of the Wasteland Calendar, the Tianyuan Territory will indefinitely stop funding all ongoing scientific research, and the territory's material library will no longer approve any funding approvals for scientific research projects.

The research project will also recover the research funds that have been allocated."

Boom!

The faint words exploded in the auditorium like thunder.

On every researcher's face, there was only endless astonishment and a completely stunned look.

Stop funding ongoing projects?

Recover funds that have been allocated?

Without funding, how can they continue their research?

Could it be that because of the arrival of the five ancestral gods and the end of mankind, Chen Shen, a greedy man, finally revealed his true face?

Countless questions appeared in the minds of the researchers below, and the virtual realm exploded into pieces, with curses everywhere.

"I know, I know, I know what you want to say."

"But I am telling you clearly now that allocating funds to you for scientific research is a waste of our destiny as a human being, a waste of the time that tens of millions of people outside the Academy of Sciences have worked hard for, and a waste of the efforts of those who are willing to sacrifice themselves.

contribution.”

"In pure scientific research, we will always be passively beaten by the gods."

"Change, we need a complete change!"

He raised his right arm and threw the materials in his hand into the sky above the auditorium.

Papers filled with words continued to float and fall in the air, landing on the sides, hands, and feet of researchers, professors, and deans below.

They picked up the paper and held it in front of their eyes for a look.

I was shocked that all of them were scientific research projects that had recently been submitted to the Territory Material Database for approval.

As expected, in the comments column below, there are all red rejection marks.

"Let's take a look and see what scientific research projects you are still submitting now!" Chen Shen continued to roar in a low voice.

Subconsciously, many people glanced at the scientific research name column at the top and were stunned.

"Research Plan on Extending Radio Wave Transmission Distance in Natural Environment"

"Research plan on improving the taste and yield of green plants"

"Research plan on enhancing the lethality of Shanlu-type assault rifles at long distances"

"Research Plan on the Growth of the Battery Life of Seventh-Generation Energy Vehicles"

"."

The name of the project is written in a format that is not complicated and simply explains the research objectives.

In the past, these names seemed very normal and did not make people feel strange.

But now, these names are like sharp knives, constantly thrusting into the hearts of those sitting here.

Humanity is about to perish, yet we are still researching assault rifles?

Do we need to rely on rifles to defeat the five great ancestor gods?

The sun and moon in the sky are shattered. Humans are still trying to increase the yield of green plants?

Can't we find a different way to obtain food supplies?

"Imagination will always be the foundation of our human development."

"You are like birds in a cage. After so many years, you have forgotten how to fly."

"From now on, the territory will only allocate funds to potential plans, so if there are still people who want to dawdle, your stable life is over."

Chen Shen finished speaking in one breath, picked up the chalk neatly, and wrote his answer at the bottom of the blackboard.

'Supernatural power + technology, fifty years!'

"Very good, Mayor Chen has already given the answer in his heart. I believe everyone here should understand the route we will develop in the future, right?" Su Mo nodded apologetically to Chen Shen.

Chen Shen did not hesitate to play the role of a villain, but simply agreed.

But it was precisely this that made Sumo feel more and more that supporting Chen Shen to this position was probably the best decision he had made in arranging personnel in the territory.

Time has fully proven his ability and loyalty to the territory and humanity.

"But teacher, although we now know what divine power is, we still have no idea how to obtain it, how to store it, and how to develop it with technology. Even if we want to start, there is no way?" a researcher in the front row said loudly.

"Well said, so I brought you what you need most today!" Sumo said seriously, and then picked up the white portable password box placed on the lecture table.

Putting it gently on the display table in the auditorium, Somo then typed in the password.

Click.

The box was opened, a blast of cold air was released, and ten test tubes emitting blue light were neatly arranged inside.

"The eyes are the only channel for us humans to observe the outside world."

"It is very clever. It has an independent immune system and the same neuronal structure as the brain. It is too risky to rashly modify it so that we can see the divine power floating in another dimension."

"But if we want to develop a new type of power that combines divine power with technology, we must have a way to access it."

"So, I finally found a way through my research on Poseidon cells."

"That is to completely solidify the improved divine eye ability of Haimu in the cell genes. As long as the person injected with it will permanently gain the ability to directly see various divine powers!"

Somo took out a test tube and shook it gently.

"Now, does anyone want to try it?"

Wow.

There was silence for a moment, then there was an explosion.

Countless pairs of big hands were raised high, like saplings growing vigorously, finally breaking out of the obstruction of the soil.

Being able to see divine power means having the possibility of research.

That kind of mysterious power has kept many people awake at night, constantly dreaming about when they would have such great power.

Now, it is finally possible to study it.

At a moment that can leave a mark in history, or even change the future direction of mankind, no one will choose to take a step back!

"Don't worry, we have prepared a lot of reagents, enough to inject everyone in the Academy of Sciences."

"From today on, it will be a brand new game, and you are all standing on the same starting line!"

Gently hand the test tube containing Poseidon cells to the nurse next to you.

Sumo turned his head and took a deep look at Yan Xiaqing, who was standing in the dark and smiling.

It was this woman who, through unremitting research, gave everyone a timely surprise at the last moment.

Human beings will also officially begin contact with divine power at this moment!

"Wait a minute, teacher, you gave us this assignment, let us answer how long it will take."
