Chapter 609 Sand Sea 35
The origin of everything lies in a meteorite that fell to this land in ancient times.
The meteorite broke into several pieces as it passed through the atmosphere. One of the pieces landed in the ancient city of Tongjing and gave birth to the black-haired snake there.
These black-haired snakes not only possess unique survival abilities, but their venom also has the ability to record memories.
After learning about this, the Zhang family began to study the black-haired snake in depth, using it to record many of their memories from that time.
Over time, as more and more memories were recorded, the so-called "snake mine" gradually formed.
During this period, the Zhang family continued to grow stronger, even to the point of influencing the historical trajectory of the entire society.
It wasn't until the King of Wannu kidnapped Wang Zanghai and ordered him to rebuild the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top that Wang Zanghai accidentally entered the Bronze Gate and thus learned the Zhang family's secret.
From then on, Wang Zanghai was determined to dismantle the Zhang family, but he knew that the Zhang family was powerful and that he could not fight against them alone.
So he told the emperor about it, and secretly established the Wang family. He also stored his memories of the 'ultimate' in the black-haired snake.
Therefore, the most important thing in Gutongjing is not gold and silver jewelry, but the snake mine that stores the memories of the Zhang family and Wang Zanghai.
The two robots quickly and successfully cleared the Ancient City, eliminating all the dangerous creatures and destroying the traps and mechanisms. They also managed to bring out some snake ore.
Zhang Lin hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, and was caught off guard for a moment.
After realizing what had happened, they quickly ordered people to move the previously prepared containers over and properly store the snake ore for later research.
Li Chu declined Zhang Lin's offer to stay and, with Su Wan under Zhong Ting's protection, returned to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to continue working on the spacecraft.
To avoid making the spaceship manufacturing process seem too abrupt, Li Chu worked diligently for over a decade, unlocking countless technological advancements and producing a series of technological achievements that benefited the country and its people. Single-handedly, he propelled the nation's technological level to a level decades ahead of other countries.
Just as the technology was about to meet the requirements for building a spaceship, Su Wan suddenly mentioned that the research on Gutongjing had been completed and that they had successfully extracted longevity genes from the black-haired snake and developed a drug that could extend human lifespan.
Although the longevity effect is relatively limited in order to reduce side effects, it can still extend a person's lifespan by at least a few years.
After the news spread, research was launched abroad in an attempt to replicate this achievement. However, they were unaware that the drug was only suitable for the genes of Chinese people and had virtually no effect on foreigners, rendering their research futile.
In addition, the country extracted a lot of useful information from Wu Xie's ramblings and, after detailed verification, successfully collected all the meteorites that fell to Earth in ancient times.
The government originally planned to allocate some funds to research how to achieve immortality through meteorites.
Little did people know that meteorites are objects from outer space, containing many radioactive elements that can cause great harm to the human body and can subtly alter the body's structure.
In light of the precedent set by the Queen Mother of the West, the leadership, after careful consideration, decided to destroy all meteorites to eliminate potential risks.
After Li Cu successfully built the spaceship, the archaeological team, which had already completed its research on the ancient city of Tongjing, turned its attention to studying the bronze gate.
As for the actual results of their research, Li Chu did not pay much attention to them.
Because after building the spaceship, he couldn't wait to lead his people to the stars and the sea...
