Chapter 409: Chapter 236: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Bai Mo exited the forum and suddenly remembered that after being promoted to Sequence Seven Academic Expert, his authority in the Committee had greatly increased, allowing him access to secret documents.

Upon opening the Committee’s official software, a new section indeed appeared.

[High-Level Movements]

Upon opening it, the topmost document was unexpectedly titled [Review on the Dragon Tomb Ruins Operation Failure]

The review was signed by Wu Jianxian.

"Huh?"

Bai Mo furrowed his brow.

The Dragon Tomb Ruins, newly excavated on the Shangjing side, was suspected to be a Dream Realm Overflow Area, attracting a large number of Immortal Technicians from various factions.

From the Committee’s side, Wu Jianxian led the team, bringing ten newly promoted Sequence Seven members along.

Even with such a configuration, they were defeated?

"To be able to write a review, at least it shows they returned alive. Were the injuries severe?"

Bai Mo flipped through the document but couldn’t find Wu Jianxian’s injury report.

Looking up at Wu Qingyun, he saw her approaching Fang Xiaoyu’s computer, joining in on ordering takeout together. Though her expression was blank, her eyes were bright, seemingly oblivious to her grandfather’s defeat.

"Is her rank not high enough to know?"

Unknowingly, Bai Mo had already become a key figure in the Committee, able to access the most crucial information.

"Was the defeat this time, did the resources in the Dragon Tomb Ruins get stolen?"

"The Ancient Immortal disciples’ acquisition speed was slowed but hard to fully stop.

"These people are all getting stronger."

Lost in reflection, Bai Mo’s phone screen suddenly popped up a message from Qu Hailou.

[Expert Bai Mo, Mycelium Healing Patch has been successfully mass-produced!]

The images showed the production line, the mass-produced version of the Healing Patch, and clinical tests of the mass-produced version.

Upon opening the video, it demonstrated the rapid healing of a deep wound using the newly opened packaged mass-produced Healing Patch.

Bai Mo grinned broadly.

...

The coffee table in the office was a mess.

Several takeout boxes were scattered askew.

Fang Xiaoyu and Wu Qingyun were both lying on the sofa, their stomachs bulging from eating.

Seeing the sushi rice grains on Wu Qingyun’s face, Bai Mo understood that this girl surely didn’t know about her grandfather’s situation.

The last grilled mackerel was grabbed by the Black Ring, holding the tail with a Fox Claw, vertically guiding it into its raised mouth.

The fox’s mouth closed, and when the Fox Claw was drawn out, it left only the clean fishbone.

The Black Ring beamed with satisfaction, even though it hadn’t eaten much fish before, foxes naturally know how to eat this!

Bai Mo smiled, rubbed his apprentice’s round belly, and pondering over the discarded fishbone.

"Knowledge is limitless.

"But the framework of knowledge does have limits.

"Learning about Immortal Grass stems, I can also create a framework, first comprehend it, then gradually enrich it.

"Like first having a fishbone as a skeleton, then gradually enriching it with more flesh."

With enlightened thoughts, Bai Mo grinned, picked up his apprentice, returned to his desk, and opened the expert database.

"From this modern knowledge, I will uncover the framework of plant stem studies!"

The Ancient Immortal Dynasty’s literature is mostly incomplete and flawed, making it difficult to use.

In contrast, modern science is a rigorous and seriou pursuit built by generations over hundreds of years. Bai Mo then opened the document library, starting with reviews related to stems.

He read the papers at a very fast pace, a scroll of the mouse, a glance from his eyes, finishing one article.

A bit like quantum speed reading.

With a click of the mouse, closing one file, with another click, opening a new one.

Useless information was quickly filtered out, while useful information was retained in his mind.

Thus, in this vast heritage left by predecessors, he quickly explored using his perception, aiming to capture the existing framework and outline of the discipline.

Each article had varied content; some were substantial, others filled with fluff.

Some were overarching, others incisively detailed.

Some contained minor errors, others had small highlights.

Bai Mo welcomed them all, exploring swiftly.

Gradually, in this dense list of documents, among the black and white words, within the numerous predecessors’ explorations in this field, he grasped a framework and outline, showing a smile and nodding lightly.

...

Blustering winds whipped through, sending sand swirling into the Bronze Hall.

Inside, the vast space was divided into over a dozen compartments.

Each compartment housed three or four different plants.

"Eee Eee Eee!"

Small and Big Eyes carried a spray bottle, watering these plants and removing bugs from their leaves.

"Ahh Ahh Ahh!"

Butterfly Knot wielded scissors, wandering between them, trimming off horizontal branches as per Master’s instructions.

These plants were specially selected by Bai Mo based on the newly developed framework and outline; each had its own representative significance.

At this point, Bai Mo sat behind the Bronze Table, scribbling on a tablet, occasionally looking up, scanning these plants with his Divine Sense, verifying knowledge from the Ancient Immortal Dynasty and his own learning.

Regarding plant stem studies, he already had the framework and outline from modern scientists. What remained was to personally study the Ancient Immortal Dynasty’s herbs, covering these frameworks and outlines with substance, allowing the complete academic discipline to become perfected.

Next to the table, a segment of Purple Earth Dragon Stems was placed in the bronze urn, Bai Mo raised a hand to touch it, feeling its rough bark.

"The thought process is clarified, now all that’s left is to spend some effort."

...

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The enormous palace had already been transformed into the Fox Mountain vehicle workshop.

On one side of the palace, foxes wielding small hammers were pounding copper plates.

"Eee Eee Eee!"

The small hammer in overalls directed toward the wall, pointing to the blueprints engraved by Master.
