Chapter 702: New Achievement Unlocked, Hope of Civilization, Spaceship

"Gotev, Elena, under the blessing and witness of the Dawn-Bathing Sheep, congratulations on becoming husband and wife. May we soon see the fruit of your love."

Yu Yuan expressed his witness and blessing to a man and woman whose hands were pressed atop Mie Mie's head.

"Mie Mie~~"

As Mie Mie's Dawn's Call rang out, a pale green light enveloped the couple, and under the envious gazes of the crowd, the two walked to the side.

Under the witness of Yu Yuan and Mie Mie, twelve couples officially became husband and wife.

And just as the final couple became spouses under witness, the moment arrived.

[Achievement Unlocked: Hope of Civilization]

[Achievement Points Earned: 50,000]

This achievement did not catch Yu Yuan by surprise.

As one of the most important rituals in a civilized society, weddings were not only a manifestation of order, but also a fertile ground for civilization's progress and the beginning of life.

It was only natural to earn an achievement from this.

What Yu Yuan truly valued, however, was the achievement reward.

- [Effect: Civilization birth rate +20%]

"Oh? Not bad at all!" Yu Yuan's lips curled upward.

He hadn't wasted all those supplies after all.

What followed was the part everyone loved, the feasting and socializing.

Although the two hundred-plus people present were mostly strangers to one another.

Everyone who could attend was essentially a department leader or an outstanding employee.

On top of that, this was a rare moment of relaxation for everyone since entering the wasteland.

After a brief period of unfamiliarity, people began pairing off and getting acquainted in small groups.

The scene was quite lively.

Of course, most people's attention was still fixated on the food.

Today, to show how much importance they placed on this wedding, especially with Yu Yuan attending in person.

Carmen and Zhou Yuan had brought out a great deal of strategic reserve supplies.

They naturally weren't about to miss such a rare opportunity.

"Have their housing units been completed?"

Yu Yuan raised his wine glass and looked at Zhou Yuan.

"Leader, the newlywed housing has been completed. They're over there."

Zhou Yuan pointed to a few buildings near the Giant Tree Valley.

"They're close to both the Giant Tree Valley and the high-energy fully automated farm, making life and work convenient. Each couple gets a 98-square-meter, two-bedroom, two-living-room unit, and all other living benefits are fully in place."

Having said this, Zhou Yuan's gaze swept over the people engaged in enthusiastic conversation around them.

"But from the looks of things, I estimate the second round of group weddings will be coming soon."

Yu Yuan smiled.

Perhaps it was the grandeur of today's wedding, or perhaps the long-suppressed tension and anxiety had finally found release today.

The people attending the wedding and conversing with one another were mostly paired off as men and women.

Clearly, the hope for a better future had given these elites both the desire and the motivation to continue the next generation.

And that was precisely Yu Yuan's ultimate purpose in summoning all these people to the wedding.

"We welcome blended families and maintain our support for them, but we also shouldn't hinder the progress of civilization..."

Zhou Yuan instantly understood Yu Yuan's meaning.

"I understand. I'll coordinate things."

Yu Yuan said nothing more.

His gaze turned toward the residential buildings designated as marriage homes.

It was time to give it a try.

He flew over to those buildings with Mie Mie.

And opened the Virtual Light Screen.

[Would you like to fuse the 'Mammal Breeding Facility' with the current buildings?]

The Virtual Light Screen popped up a prompt.

Yu Yuan licked his lips.

- [Yes]

With the selection confirmed, the residential building before him was immediately enveloped in a green light barrier.

Watching the building enter fusion, Yu Yuan proceeded to perform the same operation on the other residential buildings one after another.

"Humans are mammals, without a doubt."

"In just a few months, the first batch of newborns will be born smoothly. I can't wait! I wonder what the so-called excellent individual embryos will be like! And the probability of twins should increase quite a bit too!"

-

As it turned out, this group wedding became the talk of the entire civilization.

Dead Mine Town, Green Forest World, the Bio-Alchemy World, the Potion World, the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet, and so on. Everyone who attended the ceremony returned and praised the wedding's uniqueness to others.

Fairy flower-scattering, spirit turtle fountains, plus the leader and Mie Mie personally witnessing and blessing the union, it filled every other member of the civilization with longing.

The most visible change was that everyone's enthusiasm for work had increased, and the vitality and energy in their spirits had all come back to life.

Literally back to life.

Through this wedding, everyone had witnessed the hope of civilization and the continuation of life.

In a wasteland world like this, nothing could be more thrilling than that.

Not to mention, just getting married meant you got your own housing!

What an incredible prospect.

Therefore, everyone was giving their all to perform well. They didn't know when the second group wedding would be held, but everyone wanted to earn a spot.

Just as everyone was striving for their own happiness in life.

Yu Yuan had arrived at the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet.

Inside the Military Camp.

Yu Yuan looked at the battered spaceship before him.

"So this is that spaceship from before."

Merlin nodded in confirmation.

"Leader, this is the ship. This is where we found those blueprints and the 'Apostle Sentry Module.'"

Masier walked over, holding a detection instrument in her hand.

"Investor, this spaceship is very strange! Its structure has some similarities to the spaceship we found in the mine before."

"Oh? Is this ship also a product of some carbon-based symbiotic civilization?"

Yu Yuan was surprised. If this spaceship were related to the Bio-Alchemy Civilization, he wouldn't be surprised in the least.

After all, the blueprints and items on this ship shared many similarities with the materials found on that alchemical dragon.

But if it were connected to the carbon-based symbiotic civilization, that would be absurd.

"No, Investor, it's not a product of the carbon-based symbiotic civilization. What I mean by similarities is that this ship also bears traces of biological fusion to some degree, but the ship's main mechanical framework is still from our silicon-based system."

"You're talking about biological alchemy?"

"Biological alchemy?" Masier was deeply immersed in mechanical development and research, so she wasn't too clear on biological alchemy. In fact, she didn't even know about the subject.

When Yu Yuan briefly described biological alchemy, Masier's eyes lit up slightly.

"In that case, it really is quite similar! Though this ship's main body is mechanical, with only a small biological component."

Yu Yuan had already sent a message to Hammond.

Soon, Hammond rushed over through the Transmission Portal.

By this point, Hammond had completely transformed into the image of a research scholar.

Dressed in a white lab coat, with disheveled hair, and a face so pale it was startling.

His appearance even gave Masier, who didn't know Hammond well, a fright.

"Investor, maybe you should persuade him to rest for a bit? The way he looks right now seems really dangerous!"

Hearing Masier's words, both Hammond and Yu Yuan froze for a moment.

Then, as Hammond wore a look of speechless exasperation, Yu Yuan burst into hearty laughter.

"Masier, don't worry about Hammond. He's a vampire, so he's not technically a living person to begin with. Add in his Silver-tier strength, just doing some research isn't going to make him drop dead."

Upon hearing this, Masier realized she had made a fool of herself.

She gave Hammond an awkward smile.

"Sorry!"

Yu Yuan then led Hammond to the front of the spaceship.

"Hammond, help me research this spaceship."

The moment Hammond laid eyes on the ship, his expression changed.

His eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, revealing a look of pure delight.

"Perfect... it's absolutely perfect..."
