All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Zhou Yongcheng greeted them and then went out.

Entering the research center through the back door, Zhou Yongcheng arrived at the underground base, where Xiao Jiu was busy conducting experiments, and numerous robots were busy manufacturing various equipment.

After inquiring about the progress, Zhou Yongcheng went to the office.

"How are the research projects at the research center going?" Zhou Yongcheng asked Hong Hou.

"Several important projects have people taking the lead, while some projects lack manpower and have not been started."

Zhou Yongcheng tapped the table with his hand, and after a while, he said, "Are there any talented people in other research institutions?"

"Many research institutions have a lot of talented people, but many of them are not given important positions."

"Send them invitations, poach all those talents, and expand our research center."

"Good host."

Zhou Yongcheng spent a few months leisurely in the real world, without traveling to another world; he stayed either in his hometown or in the city.

After several months of development, the research center has recruited many people from various research institutions, making the center more vibrant and launching many research projects.

The projects that Zhou Yongcheng is focusing on are also progressing steadily.

What Zhou Yongcheng was most interested in was the enhancement drug that Xiao Jiu was testing. After the robot's research, the enhancement drug had been developed to level five, and the test personnel had already used the level three drug.

The person with the best physique used a level-three enhancement potion, and his strength reached more than 2,000 kilograms. Moreover, this was not his limit. This strength was tested after he used a level-three potion and fully absorbed its energy.

Zhou Yongcheng marveled at the power of technology, noting that while technology can make people stronger, he felt that the way technology makes people stronger was too simplistic, merely strengthening the physical body.

Unlike cultivation and martial arts, which offer other means of attack besides strengthening the physical body, enhancement potions lack such methods unless one acquires high-tech equipment.

In addition to strengthening the body, enhancement potions can also increase human lifespan.

According to Xiao Jiu's tests, the Level 1 Enhancement Potion can allow a person to live to be 120 to 150 years old.

Lifespan fluctuations are also related to physical constitution. The more medicine a person absorbs, the more lifespan is increased. If a person can only absorb one medicine, then he can live up to 120 years old at most, with a fluctuating lifespan of less than 30 years, and never exceeding 30 years old.

The lifespan of a level 2 potion is increased by 60 years on top of that of a level 1 potion, and the lifespan of a level 3 potion is also increased by 60 years on top of that of a level 2 potion. Level 4 has not yet been tested, but Xiao Jiu said that the situation in his empire is the same as here, where the lifespan increase is also increased by 60 years on top of that of the potion. He doesn't know why.

Technology is indeed more effective than martial arts and cultivation in increasing lifespan, but this is only better in the early stages. It's hard to say how it will perform in the later stages.

However, technology is more user-friendly for ordinary people. At least enhancement potions can be used regardless of your physical condition. Although those with poor physical condition can only use one potion, at least their lifespan is increased. They are just not as strong as those who use several potions.

Martial arts and cultivation are different. Although those with poor aptitude can still cultivate martial arts and immortality, without cultivation resources, extraordinary encounters, or powerful backers, they can only cultivate to a certain level and eventually stop there.

A few months may pass in the real world, but a decade or two may have passed in other worlds.

Although Zhou Yongcheng did not travel to a new world, he still paid attention to some of the worlds he had just visited.

Like the Legend of the Condor Heroes world, the plot of the Legend of the Condor Heroes world has reached the Condor Heroes, but the addition of Yang Kailong has caused a major change in the plot.

Yang Kailong retreated into the mountains to cultivate in seclusion. Of course, he didn't stay in seclusion for long, only a year or two. In the first year, he slowly cultivated his internal strength on his own. In the second year, he began hunting Bodhi snakes, using their gallbladders to increase his power and eating their meat.

When his internal energy cultivation reached the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, he left the mountain.

Yang Kailong arrived in Xiangyang and joined the army directly, starting from the bottom. With his knowledge, he was promoted very quickly.

Yang Kailong is a talent in the real world. Although he didn't study much, only finishing high school, he was very capable.

He frequently publishes articles on various forums, covering a wide range of fields, including military, politics, literature, and economics.

If he hadn't lacked formal education, I believe he would definitely have entered politics.

Although he did not enter politics, he did quite well in the business world, accumulating considerable wealth. Before the age of thirty, he had become a multi-millionaire through his own abilities.

This is also why Zhou Yongcheng valued him. Although he lacked formal education, his knowledge and abilities were quite good. There are many people like him in the real world.

Yang Kailong spent several years in Xiangyang, using money to pave his way to becoming the Commander of the Infantry.

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, it was impossible to rise to power through ability alone; one had to resort to crooked means.

Yang Kailong secretly set up a company to make money using his own abilities, and used the company as a cover to set up an intelligence organization.

In terms of the military, although he only developed his power in Xiangyang, he extended his reach to other armies and secretly recruited many people. If he wanted to cause trouble, he could quickly take control of the military.

In addition to the military, he also sent people to Lin'an to bribe many ministers in the court with a large amount of money, just so that he could be used at a critical moment.

He also paid close attention to the plot of The Return of the Condor Heroes. He had his intelligence team find Mu Nianci and asked someone to take care of her and her son.

In his spare time, Yang Kailong would also roam the martial arts world, recruiting some experts to be his subordinates.

When Yang Kailong was making his way in the martial arts world, he met Li Mochou, who had just emerged from seclusion. He was attracted by Li Mochou's beauty and decided to win her over.

Li Mochou, who had just emerged from seclusion, had not yet met Lu Zhanyuan, but was met by Yang Kailong, a modern man, who immediately won her heart.

After winning over Li Mochou, Yang Kailong took her back to Xiangyang.

After several more years of management by Yang Kailong, Xiangyang City was ostensibly under the control of officials sent from above, but in reality, he was already Yang Kailong's man.

Not only Xiangyang, but also many surrounding cities were secretly captured by him.

More than a decade later, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's family came to Xiangyang, which indicated that Xiangyang would soon be attacked by the Mongols.

At this time, Yang Kailong had already entered Lin'an and become the Left Chancellor, a position second only to the emperor in the imperial court.

Even after becoming prime minister, he did not launch a coup because he did not want the people to suffer and wanted to take over the Southern Song Dynasty only when he was absolutely certain of success.

Through his efforts, most of the officials in the court were already his people. There were still some who couldn't be won over with money, and he couldn't use force, so he had to eliminate them through political means.

Just a few years after the start of the Condor Heroes storyline, Yang Kailong launched a coup, replaced the Zhao family of the Southern Song Dynasty, and became the new emperor, establishing the country of Huaxia.

Thus, Yang Kailong began to reorganize the court, rebuild the system of civil and military officials, resolve internal troubles, and begin to eliminate external threats.

Eliminating external threats was not so quick; it took him ten years to restore the Chinese territory to its state during the Qing Dynasty.

Then he began to recuperate. He had been in this world for over twenty years and was already over fifty years old, but he still looked like he was in his thirties or forties because his martial arts cultivation had entered the Innate Realm and reached the Innate Perfection.

He had already reached the peak of the Acquired Realm before becoming emperor, but no matter how hard he cultivated, he could not break through to the Innate Realm. He only broke through after becoming emperor, which made him believe that it was due to luck that he was able to break through. He felt that he was a completely different person after becoming emperor.

Yang Kailong unified the country and changed many things. He established the Martial Arts Pavilion and the Martial Arts Academy. The Martial Arts Pavilion was used to manage the martial arts world.

The martial arts academy is for teaching people how to cultivate themselves, researching martial arts, and spreading martial arts throughout the world.

The main characters in The Return of the Condor Heroes, such as Guo Jing, were enfeoffed as the Marquis of the Founding Kingdom, which he earned through military merit. In recent years, apart from guarding Xiangyang, he led his troops to fight in other places. Later, when the Central Plains were recovered, he wanted to resign from his official position, but Yang Kailong refused and allowed him to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion and teach students at the Martial Arts Academy.

Mu Nianci and her son were later taken to Chang'an by Yang Kailong, who then established Chang'an as the capital after unifying China.

Decades later, Yang Guo became a general.

Yang Kailong, indulging in a wicked sense of humor, reasoned that the Condor Heroes couldn't be without a couple. He sent Li Mochou to bring Xiaolongnu over and betrothed her to Yang Guo, thus making them husband and wife.
