The conversation between Li Yan and Liu Yulin lasted for over an hour, thoroughly covering Liu Yulin's comprehensive sensations.
By comprehensive, it means basically including some sensitive areas; all organs' sensations were asked thoroughly—yes, asked, not touched.
After all, many issues can't just be discovered through data detection, especially those involving the concept of "spirit"; synchronized equipment detection and manual record-keeping are necessary.
Although this step may seem a bit embarrassing, it is indeed an essential process, the entire ordeal devoid of any lascivious colors.
Especially for someone like Li Yan, who is well-versed in anatomy, at the first sight of Liu Yulin, she was basically pondering where to cut to lift his skull off intact.
After over an hour, her wristband vibrated.
According to the plan, it indicated that the 'information collection is complete, and the conversation can be concluded.'
Seeing this, Li Yan wrapped up the conversation, courteously nodding farewell to Liu Yulin.
The whole process was as efficient and sharp as the impression she left on people.
A few minutes later, Lin Ziming and the others walked in from outside.
Seeing his direct leader, Liu Yulin showed a visibly relaxed expression and stepped forward:
"Hello, Sir!"
Longxing River smiled, patting him on the shoulder, then exchanged a glance with Lin Ziming before asking:
"Xiaoliu, this about concludes the testing phase; how do you feel now?"
Though internally puzzled as to why the Colonel repeated a question Li Yan had just asked, Liu Yulin showed no outward sign, obediently responding:
"Reporting to the commander, I feel well at present!"
"Xiaoliu, you might be misunderstanding my question."
Longxing River gestured to him, explaining:
"I'm not asking about your mental state. I mean... hmm, can you now directly domesticate a demon beast?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yulin blinked, immediately catching on to Longxing River or the command's intentions, and straightened up:
"Reporting to the commander, I have no issues!"
Longxing River cared considerably for his men, hearing this first he squeezed his shoulder then shook him firmly.
Only after feeling that Liu Yulin wasn't barely holding on did he relax, waving his hand.
"Alright, let's go to the Demon Beast Management Center!"
The Demon Beast Management Center, as the name implies, is responsible for overseeing, guarding, and domesticating captured demon beasts.
According to the rabbits' plan, if there are future battles like the one at Xiaolianzi Mountain, captured demon beasts will also be housed here.
Of course, by then the entire management center will undergo further expansion and upgrade, taking on even more important tasks.
Currently, the whole Demon Beast Management Center is conceptually divided into two large areas:
The food area and the non-food area... no wait, the double-headed oxen area and the non-double-headed oxen area.
The double-headed oxen area is further divided into breeding and pregnancy zone, non-breeding observation zone, and forced management zone.
The breeding and pregnancy zone mainly houses mated double-headed oxen, while the non-breeding observation zone manages those unbred, but already relatively docile individuals.
As for other highly wild individuals, they're naturally assigned to the forced management zone.
If these unruly fellows still disobey, they'll have to be arranged into the hotpot to be managed.
The non-double-headed ox area comprises a Tier Two demon beast zone and a non-Tier Two demon beast zone, without further subdivision.
This is because 99% of the demon beasts in this zone eventually meet the end of being righteously judged—the original number was 100% since the rabbits had no way to distinguish those that never attacked humans.
However, with Liu Yulin, the emerging Beast Taming Cultivator, appearing, maybe a very few of the demon beasts that haven't harmed humans (or haven't had the chance to) might escape death.
Overseeing the entire Demon Beast Management Center is Liu Zhenhan, Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Zoology.
Liu Zhenhan, in his early forties, is also the current domestic authority in animal breeding, possessing exceedingly rich experience in the field, having participated in the domestication of the Rongchang pig.
Honestly speaking, the current domestic level of animal domestication by the rabbits is way behind internationally, we might even describe the gap as generational.
But this situation is closely related to the late start domestically, the talent pipeline isn't actually very lacking.
Can you believe that the current domestic talent in this field is saturated?
"Colonel Lin, the standard production cycle for a local cow is 258 days, and with recovery, improving along with standard four generations takes over five years, so local breeding progresses very slowly."
Within the Demon Beast Management Center, Liu Zhenhan walked them through, explaining:
"However, the double-headed ox from Damo Realm is different; its production cycle is nearly equivalent to a white mouse, as long as sufficient fertilizer and popularity are present, this species can reproduce at a staggering rate."
"Director Liu, hold on a moment."
Lin Ziming suddenly interrupted, asking:
"What do you mean by... popularity? Surely it's not the human soul?"
Liu Zhenhan waved his hand, explaining:
"This is a detail we only recently discovered, it has already been reported to the Plant Biology Laboratory.
The point is, double-headed oxen can't be fed fertilizer directly; the fertilizer must be mixed with some building materials and must make contact with living people for about a week to absorb sufficient 'popularity.'
As for what exactly this 'popularity' is, the Plant Biology Laboratory is still researching it, it might take some time until we get results.
The reason we didn't notice this issue before could be due to too few living samples; after all, the twenty-odd double-headed oxen in the lab have been used up to just three or four left, lacking reference.
Although this step is somewhat troublesome, it's relatively easy to execute, our troops are stationed nearby, regularly dismantling some simple partitions will do.
The appetite of these double-headed oxen isn't large, one or two pounds of construction materials are sufficient for one oxen for a week; otherwise, this species would have starved to death long ago."
Lin Ziming nodded thoughtfully, rubbing his chin he said:
"I see, no wonder these double-headed oxen liked destroying villages every time... turns out they're trying to absorb 'popularity'?"
Later, the group walked for a further ten minutes, stopping in front of a closed area as Liu Zhenhan introduced:
"This is the containment area for non-double-headed ox demon beasts, holding most of the captured demon beasts."
Lin Ziming noticed that there were visibly quite a few patrol warriors outside this area.
There were likely more hidden watch points as well.
Even though he is currently one of the main responsible personnel on the base side, he had spent some days back in the mainland with Lin Li, so he wasn't very clear about some layouts.
Besides being an officer, he also juggles roles like a courier.
This kind of relatively recent information is indeed something he's not very familiar with.
Then after completing identity verification, the group individually entered this room area.
The exterior of the area was cast from military green materials, looking quite ordinary.
But the interior was a completely different style:
A pathway ten meters wide lined with two rows of indiscernible inside conditions' alloy chambers, about two hundred meters long.
"On the left side, we have over twenty Tier Two demon beasts, the chamber's material is Ti–3Al–8V–6Cr–4Mo–4Zr alloy sequence, with a strength above 1.9Gpa, assisted with some Tier Two talismans for security."
Liu Zhenhan pointed to the alloys chambers on both sides, explaining:
"On the right side, there are Tier One and non-tier demon beasts, whose defensive material is relatively lower strength, but the capture includes Tier One Sealing Talisman's space-locking effect, escaping is not an option for these demon beasts."
The rabbits' batch of alloy materials was prepared as soon as the capture strategy was set, including some top-strength alloy sequences squeezed out from Qin Zhendong and other core layers for undisclosed reasons.
These alloy materials were completely forged before arriving in the Damo Realm, so construction of the area was considerably swift,
amidst the idle chatter.
Suddenly several roars from demon beasts and a few dull thuds came from the left area.
Liu Zhenhan signaled not to worry, explaining:
"Tier Two demon beasts are highly sensitive to human presence, so when there's movement outside, they get agitated, causing such noises.
We have staff monitoring the integrity of the alloy enclosure from the outside. If it falls below a certain threshold, alarms will trigger, and mandatory measures will be enforced.
So nobody needs to worry, you'll get used to it."
With that, he gestured for them to proceed:
"The non-tier demon beast holding area is ahead, let's go."
