On the Second Continent
Since the Skeleton Reptile killed the Giant Eel, it has ruled for many years.
During this period, many powerful creatures came to challenge the dominance of the Skeleton Reptile, but without exception, they were all defeated.
However, this time, the Skeleton Reptile met a real opponent. Beside the huge lake in the center of the continent, next to the seriously wounded Skeleton Reptile, a gigantic Gorilla stood there.
This Gorilla was over 10 meters tall. Not only was it physically strong, but it was also holding a large crude stone axe in its hand. This was the most obvious difference between this Gorilla and other powerful creatures: it could create and use tools. This Gorilla was able to bash the Skeleton Reptile with the stone axe.
"Roar!" After defeating the Skeleton Reptile, the Gorilla looked up at the sky and kept beating its chest while roaring; the seriously wounded Skeleton Reptile also died.
One of the other creatures hiding in the nearby woods observed this in silence and witnessed firsthand that another new overlord was born.
In a hidden corner, a few Water Droplet Humans were also peeking, and they were a little shocked.
Although this Gorilla successfully defeated the Skeleton Reptile, which had been unstoppable for many years, it also suffered considerable injuries during the battle. They stared at the Gorilla, seemingly wanting to make a move.
Sebastian noticed this. After decades of development, the technology of the Water Droplet Humans had improved significantly, especially their iconic "water drop," which had evolved to its 2nd generation. Compared to the 1st generation, its power was greatly enhanced.
The number of Water Droplet Humans was also growing rapidly. They had gotten out of the valley and were slowly expanding outward. With this growth in strength, the ambition of these Water Droplet Humans was increasing. Now their target was set on a giant creature like the Gorilla.
However, after observing for a long time, they still gave up their plans. This Gorilla was too strong; their efforts might be in vain. There was no need to rush.
After achieving dominance, this Gorilla wasn't as aggressive as the Giant Eel or the Skeleton Reptile, instead, it was very casual. As long as other creatures didn't overstep their boundaries, it was too lazy to pay attention, concentrating instead on mating with other female apes.
Meanwhile, the Godzillas had also started their own families over the years. Offspring were born one by one, and among these offspring, a dozen more Godzillas appeared. From this generation onwards, the group of Godzillas was beginning to take shape.
However, they seemed to have inherited the characteristics of the 1st generation of Godzilla, Cimon; they were very lazy. Their favorite pastime was lazing around and sunbathing. They showed no interest in the battle for domination or anything else.
The second continent had temporarily restored peace, but beneath that peace, many secretive eyes were watching.
Deep underground, the Skeleton Reptile was regaining strength. The underground space was no longer sufficient to support the survival of too many Skeleton Reptiles. They were curious and ambitious about the outside world; they wanted to be like the previous Skeleton Reptile, defeating one opponent after another and standing at the top of the continent.
Whoosh-!
There was a loud sound.
Sebastian saw a huge figure emerge from the sea at the edge of the second continent. Fearsome giant creatures had also begun to be born in the deep sea.
After observing the situation on the 2nd continent, Sebastian turned his attention back to the 1st continent.
In the Imperium, more than a year had passed since the Glory War.
"Hmm!" Sebastian suddenly discovered that in this one year, the Imperium, regardless of the birth rate of newborns or the disease and death rates of the population, experienced significant changes. The birth rate had greatly increased, while the death rate was decreasing, and the likelihood of people getting sick continued to diminish.
Not only that, Sebastian checked other aspects and discovered that the Imperium had a bumper harvest of food in the past year, higher than all previous years.
This year, advancements in farming techniques and fertilizer levels, combined with favorable weather conditions, resulted in no natural disasters. Yields of other crops had also seen an increase in many areas, with monoculture crop yields rising significantly.
In addition to the crops grown, all living species seemed to be thriving. The trees in the forest were taller and more luxuriant, and the wild grass and wild horses on the grassland were also growing tall.
In the mountains, on the hills, in the lakes, in the rivers, and various regions, the quantity of life had significantly improved.
"This is... because of the Level 6 Planet!?" Sebastian thought for a moment before realizing that this was the reason for these changes.
As Prokopy said, a Level 6 Planet provides comprehensive support for the development of a planet. It was not just these beings but the whole planet. Although it may not resemble a treasure that can enhance the quality and quantity of a certain aspect in a short time, the changes were steady and long-lasting.
A Level 5 Planet, on the other hand, didn't work like that. The academy couldn't be stationed on a Level 5 Planet because it wasn't stable enough.
"No wonder each candidate and the forces behind them are so desperate for the Super-Tier Academy, fighting for it at any cost," Sebastian thought.
He understood that even if the Academy did not provide other resources, just the benefits of a Level 6 Planet would be worth it. This could not be bought with money or other resources. Since there were other resources available, Sebastian wouldn't give them up either.
As for these phenomena, the Astra Militarum naturally noticed them as well. At this time, the Astra Militarum in the Royal Tombs Mountains had become the actual management organization of the Imperium, while the palace in the capital had taken on a more symbolic role.
The emperor, previously used as a puppet by Max Kendall and having been only five or six years old when he ascended to the throne, had grown up, but he was still a puppet.
After the Glory War, Elizabeth shifted part of her focus to the people's livelihood, vigorously developing agriculture and industry. The steam car project was immediately brought to the forefront.
However, it was too late. The steam-age frenzy had not reached its peak, but it was already coming to an end, as a new era arrived with the advent of electricity.
More than a decade ago, during the dissection of a frog, the existence of an electric current was discovered. In the past ten years, research on electricity has also progressed slowly.
After the Glory War, Elizabeth became very interested in electricity and took charge of the research, which soon produced results one after another.
With the combined efforts of this elite group, the theories of electromagnetic induction and electromagnetic field were proposed. The concepts of voltage, direct current, and alternating current were also born.
Shortly thereafter, when Elizabeth was 35 years old, the first generator was created.
Many people were shocked, as this rendered the steam car project obsolete, but no one spoke about it again. Electric motors were also invented shortly thereafter.
The beginning of the entire electrical age was marked by the introduction of the internal combustion engine when Elizabeth was 37 years old. This new engine directly replaced the steam engine and became the new power source. Its principle was to generate power through fuel combustion, proving stronger than a steam engine in all aspects.
With the birth of the internal combustion engine, the idea of automobiles also emerged.
When Elizabeth reached 38 years of age, under the fervent research and development of many scientists, the first automobile was born. Even though many features were missing and it was very difficult to drive, it still caused an unprecedented sensation.
On the day of the trial, it attracted high-level bureaucrats of the Astra Militarum to watch in person. Even Cross, who was almost 70, couldn't help but want to experience it himself.
"Cars? They are just for the ground. What we want to develop is something that can fly in the sky!" A small group of five people in the research institute were diligently working in the lab.
They heard the commotion outside, and a young scientist's face flashed with disapproval, as he desired to develop something capable of flying.
To many scientists, this seemed nearly impossible. If not for the strong support of Fleming, this group would have been disbanded long ago.
"Don't be disheartened. Although we have failed many times, we will eventually succeed," the young scientist, named Herb William, encouraged the other four scientists.
"Think about Dr. Hans, after so many years of being ignored and looked down upon, in the end, wasn't it an instant success? We are the same!" William was not only a high-level researcher and inventor, but he was also skilled at boosting morale.
He cited Dr. Han as an example: a now-storied figure among scientists with many researchers under his supervision. Improvements to the Super Zombie Virus were ongoing, as well as research and development of more powerful biological weapons.
Seeing this, Sebastian realized that the Imperium's technological level appeared somewhat unbalanced. It was advanced in terms of weapons and people's livelihood, yet lagged in other areas.
Of course, Elizabeth had noticed this problem long ago. After the end of the Glory War, she immediately sought to correct it by increasing investment in the welfare of the populace. This was also why she became involved in the current project.
At this time, nearly all the scientists in the Imperium were concentrated in the capital area. Sebastian discovered that, although the population was not large, the likelihood of encountering scientists was significantly higher than on Earth.
He ventured to guess this was likely because Greater Terra was more conducive to such endeavors. Among many scientists, Dr. Han was not the only outstanding individual—numerous scientists proposed fantastic ideas that often seemed absurd.
For example, a scientist named Denny Leland, who specialized in materials research, was nicknamed "Crazy Leland" because he was even more eccentric than Dr. Han. His ideas were more unconventional and ambitious, with projects that often defied belief.
If not for Elizabeth's backing, it would be impossible for anyone else to allow him to experiment so freely.
"Humph, this time... I must succeed in this research!" After yet another failure, Leland felt more determined and confident than ever.
With messy hair that hadn't been washed for a week, Leland once again immersed himself in the project. He was the sole participant, as the others had long since slipped away. It was understandable; this project had failed more than a hundred times.
Sebastian also took note of this eccentric scientist. Watching the project he was developing, he couldn't help but feel a flicker of interest, this was far too advanced for the era.
