I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 892 - 588, Epoch Year 500, But Still Hasn’t Achieved Becoming a God Through Treasure Hunting

Chapter 892: Chapter 588, Epoch Year 500, But Still Hasn’t Achieved Becoming a God Through Treasure Hunting

Time passed rapidly once again, Epoch 419.

The Human 18th Civilization spent a large sum to purchase enough materials from the [Temple of Greed] to complete the construction of the "Central Array".

This city wall was entirely constructed from heavily compacted Earth Attribute materials, its surface rough and solid, as if it had withstood the trials of millennia — this was a deliberate ancient rhythm created by Engraving Masters.

Sunlight fell upon it, giving the city wall a faint golden sheen, exuding a sense of stability and heft.

This city wall was built to encircle the inner ring of Green Grass City, approximately 120 kilometers long, with a certain level of protective capability and load-bearing capacity, allowing trucks to pass, laying the foundation for the expansion of Sky City.

Standing beneath the city wall, one could almost feel a majestic force emanating from the earth beneath.

With this, the [Pangu Thought Resonance Technology], a Level Four Technology, was basically realized.

The total expenditure amounted to 329 points of Luck! Far exceeding the budget!

The Northern Array and Central Array, in theory, could enhance the human Divine Attribute cap to 20-25 points — a rather considerable figure.

Though three more arrays were yet to be completed, that would have to wait until sufficient materials are gathered in the future.

"This array is our first step towards becoming a Fourth-level Civilization."

"We are currently and will continue to be in the initial stage of a Level 3 Civilization, now advancing towards the intermediate stage..."

...

A single Level Four Technology is not enough to propel humanity to become a Fourth-level Civilization.

Fourth-level Civilizations, as the backbone of Pangu Continent, should be strong in all aspects, including culture, economy, industry, and technology.

Thus more Level Four Technologies are simultaneously being researched...

Lu Yuan often lamented that Old Cat really had the patience, with a civilization relic at the Northern Extreme, where Level Four data could be easily obtained, yet Old Cat insisted on independent human research, even investing a large amount of manpower and resources — being quite generous in this regard.

Of course, this was also a good thing; what is researched independently and what is picked up are indeed worlds apart.

Independent research would encounter numerous difficulties and setbacks.

It will lead to the advancement of the entire research system.

It can also cultivate more talent.

Picking up scraps, although advancing quickly, makes nurturing a system difficult.

In the 429th year of the Epoch, the second Level Four Technology saw the dawn — [Super Material Extreme Aggregation]!

This term is quite peculiar; after understanding it, Lu Yuan realized it was an Idealist Science for increasing the level of Extraordinary Materials!

"Materials’ level can still be increased?"

"Yes, as Pangu Continent developed to the Ninth Epoch, Legendary-level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have become very rare."

"Throughout the many years of Human 18th Civilization’s journey, we have only excavated a few pieces of Legendary-level, and even a hint of Epic-level materials is nowhere to be found... illustrating the rarity of these precious materials."

The professor leading the [Super Material Extreme Aggregation] project was named Lu Guangming, also a "Super-thinker". freewёbnoνel-com

Lu Yuan sat in the first row.

After calculating, he realized that the Legendary-level materials excavated by humans were obtained during the volcanic eruptions of the "Source Fire Civilization", and there have been no more since.

"If Legendary materials are rare once in a hundred years, then Epic-level items are almost non-existent, only a few anomalies can produce them."

"Immortal-level materials even require a Catastrophe Level anomaly, producing them in minimal amounts."

Not every natural disaster can produce "Immortals", Demons have far greater productivity than Ghosts, Ghosts than Monsters, and Monsters than Demons.

But there are differences among Demons as well.

For example, the Opium poppy tree with greatly injured Essence can now only produce some Superior-level items, with Essence just recently recovering a bit.

However, Lu Yuan’s Tree of Life could produce Legendary-level wood, with a decent yield.

But the Tree of Life producing Immortal-level is still far off.

It requires those Demons that have survived several Epochs, expending huge amounts of Life Force, to possibly produce Immortal-level items.

The fact that Lu Yuan could find two Immortal miracles in one day is truly unprecedented on Pangu Continent!

The professor then shifted his tone: "So how do those superior civilizations obtain advanced materials?

"[Super Material Extreme Aggregation] is one method, using the powers of Pangu Continent to catalyze and upgrade certain materials."

"The specific process is like this..."

This project was quite troublesome too, requiring high temperatures and pressures, low temperatures and pressures, and specialized equipment to be constructed.

This equipment is similar to a large hadron collider, consuming an astonishing amount of manpower and resources.

"But doesn’t the process consume a lot of Luck?" Old Cat couldn’t help but ask, "Is there any such thing as an effortless upgrade?"

The professor felt a bit embarrassed, scratching his bald head: "That’s indeed the case... the cost-saving method requires immense time, often thousands or tens of thousands of years. To save time, more Civilization Points must be spent."

"Currently, the cost-effectiveness is not even comparable to the direct purchase from the [Temple of Greed]. To catalyze 1 kg of high-purity Epic materials, we estimate it would cost over a thousand Civilization Points."

"Catalyzing Immortal-grade may take five thousand or even over ten thousand."

Everyone fell into silence, who could bear that!

Old Cat almost swore, its hair bristling!

Although Lu Yuan was just an observer on the side, he was secretly astonished, constantly calculating human wealth.

"Without the extra income from the trading market, the original three thousand Civilization Points would really be stretched thin, completely spent on a few Level Four Technologies."
