As one of the most basic pills in the Damo Realm, the materials for Spirit Awakening Pill are not uncommon. Many materials can be planted and cultivated by small families like the Wei Family.

Therefore, the material cost is actually quite cheap—its downside lies in manpower, namely, the time required for alchemy is truly too long.

An alchemist spending the same amount of time making other pills can basically earn twice or even three times the profit of making Spirit Awakening Pills.

And this so-called 'long' period refers to the process of melting spiritual materials with earth veins fire.

This is the drawback of cultivation civilization only going upwards and not downwards, as mentioned earlier.

In the cognition of cultivators in the Damo Realm, this stage requires the alchemist's spiritual power to protect the materials from damage, thus relying solely on dry burning to complete it.

At most, some large families can use slightly better fire seeds than earth vein flame.

The rabbits are different; the advantages of industrialization and microcosm are vividly displayed in such situations.

Through industrialized methods such as gasifying spiritual materials, adaptive gases ensuring the materials remain true to form, molecular selection through allocation methods... the time for making the entire Spirit Awakening Pill is shortened to half an hour.

Therefore, the limitations on mass production for the rabbits in such circumstances are the progress of developing core production equipment and the quantity of materials.

The former is not really an issue for the rabbits, as for the latter...

The second batch of rabbit 'happy sticks' and Ma Yinglong are now ready and will basically be sent to Linyuan City within two days.

By then, the spirit stones in the rabbits' hands may not be as abundant as when they first went to Ziqiong City, but for separate point purchases of materials, the quantity bought could at least reach the scale of the first time.

Therefore, the production speed of Spirit Awakening Pills by the rabbits is certainly like the graph of a power function with an exponent greater than 1, not the situation some rare classmates assume of only enlightening thirty thousand warriors per year.

Meanwhile, the Talisman Pill Factory officially commences operations.

Far away, several kilometers from the Life Experiment Base, Fei Qiu is conducting survey work prior to coal mining with his team.

This is truly Fei Qiu's forte; before arriving at the Damo Realm, he worked at a well-known large state-owned coal mine.

From a small clerk to the position of director, he basically never dealt with anything other than coal—except for his wife.

According to the original plan, he would depart from Modu, return to his hometown... ahem, support the mineral system construction of a small country in Africa, then return home after three to five years.

However, their entire team was reassigned before departure, shifted to the Damo Realm to take charge of the excavation work of spirit stone veins.

Even though the extraction volume of spirit stone veins mysteriously decreased during Fei Qiu's tenure as the spirit stone project leader.

Overall, he was diligent and managed the veins in an orderly manner, with no errors from the start, consistently maintaining maximum efficiency.

Thus, when the spirit stone veins stabilized comparatively, he naturally got promoted and was transferred near the coal mine to start a new round of adventure.

After all, unlike spirit stone veins, the coal mine lacks Wei Siming's contingency plans and is much more unstable; a strong and professional leader is required.

Currently, although only one 480MW generator is operational at the camp, with buildings being electrified consecutively, the remaining two units are estimated to be fully operational in at most a year.

Plus, the traffic volume of the void portal is limited, so converting the coal discovered by Lei Wenjun's team into usable energy quickly is an urgent matter.

After all, fewer materials transported to the Damo Realm mean more spiritual energy can be brought back from it; this trade-off is not a trivial amount.

At this moment.

Fei Qiu is standing on a height, discussing mining issues with his domestic old partner, mining engineer Shi Yalong.

Several staff members around are assisting in measuring data.

"Director Fei, according to our survey, the working face of this coal mine should be quite long, so I personally suggest adopting the wall-bedded coal mining method."

Shi Yalong is a lean man, not tall, but with bright eyes. He gestures up and down with his palm while speaking:

"We'll set up a return roadway on both ends of the working face, ensuring the coal mine's scraper conveyor is parallel to the working face, and for supporting the working face, we'll directly use single columns plus hinged roof beam support, what do you think?"

As an industry insider in the coal mining field, Fei Qiu has a considerable reservoir of relevant knowledge and immediately thinks of a question:

"Old Stone, adopting the wall-bedded system? How do we handle mine pressure?

The large exposed area of the roof would manifest very strong mine pressure, so I think we should..... um, wait, what's that?"

Fei Qiu suddenly stops talking, pointing to a spot on the ground more than ten meters away from them, where a small floating black dot has appeared at some point.

This small black dot initially was the size of a cherry, quietly floating two meters above ground, hence Fei Qiu didn't notice it at first.

However, gradually, this small black dot began rotating slowly like a vortex and growing larger simultaneously.

In mere tens of seconds, it first expanded to the size of an apple, then as wide as a washbasin.....

Faintly, beastly roars start to emanate.

And right as the small black dot begins to grow.

Fei Qiu does not stand dazed like those idiots in movies until the incident affects reality before realizing—he only freezes for about five or six seconds, regaining his senses when the diameter of the black dot expands to one meter.

He abruptly shoves Shi Yalong's shoulder, while calling to the surrounding survey team members:

"Quickly, everyone retreat to the vehicle! Where's the driver, get the car started quickly! Forget about the instruments, hurry!"

Shi Yalong utters an 'oh' and swiftly picks up a plastic bucket containing his precious total station and runs back.

A real 'bucket run'.

Fei Qiu is also prepared to follow, yet he suddenly thinks of something after running two steps.

He hesitates for less than half a second, reaches into his pocket to grab hold of the Spiritual Energy Shield issued by the command.

Then he grits his teeth, returns to the original position, sets the countdown for several bundles of timed high-explosive charges to two to five minutes, and forcefully tosses them near the floating void.

He then takes off his clothes, hangs the camera equipment on a piece of deadwood stump.

After that, he sprints back frantically.

When he gasps back onto the vehicle, Shi Yalong is reporting to the coal mine's protection team:

"Indeed, 27.6 degrees southeast from the coal mine outpost two kilometers away, we are unsure what's on the other side, please..."

"It's beasts, definitely beasts!"

Fei Qiu snatches the communication device from Shi Yalong's hands without considering whether this behavior is impolite, watching the increasingly distant void.

"I'm Fei Qiu, I can confirm that the other side of the void is beasts—I heard their roars!

Also, my camera equipment can be used for positioning and transcribing video, but that might require authorization from command....."

Fei Qiu's words had just ended when a steady male voice comes from the communication device:

"Director Fei, I'm Lin Ziming, your voice channel is already connected to command's fourth line, I will be your contact."

Within command, Lin Ziming, who had hurried to the operation room, converses steadily with Fei Qiu:

"The situation you've encountered is already understood here at command, your camera equipment might be temporarily unable to connect due to some magnetic interference, anyway please immediately evacuate the area, that void passage is likely a signal of beast invasion!

Although our protective team near the coal mines has limited personnel, but rest assured, the spirit stone vein guard team closest to you has already assembled, and the dense barrages are moving toward your direction.

Furthermore, several Wuzhi-10 helicopters and missile units at the camp are ready, and a rapid response unit under the Long Brigade Commander's composite brigade is heading out in armored vehicles.

The forty-kilometer distance falls within the missile range after our correction, you don't need to panic..."

"Boom!"

Just as Lin Ziming finishes speaking, a violent explosion resonates on the other side of the communication device.

Perhaps due to the high accuracy of military communication equipment, faintly, a few beastly howls can be heard!

Lin Ziming's pupils rapidly contract. He forces his tone to stay as stable as possible and asks quickly:

"Director Fei, are you alright? Director Fei, please respond!"

A moment later, an extremely peculiar voice from Fei Qiu comes through the communication device:

"...Colonel Lin, that void passage disappeared."

Lin Ziming slightly frowns:

"Huh? Disappeared? Then what about the beasts?"

"About ten of them ran out, all were killed by the explosives."
