Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 339 Research Institute

Xuanyuan Muze stood up and said to himself, "I still can't accept you. It seems we have nothing more to say to each other." After saying that, Xuanyuan Muze turned and walked out without looking back.

Agreed called out to his retreating figure, "If you're still interested in learning more about this country, take the medal I gave you. It will give you unrestricted access to the science institute, military base, and magic academy. Since you're already here, it would be a real shame not to see the true 'top' of this country."

But Xuanyuan Muze disappeared from Agreed's sight without any hesitation. Agreed simply smiled, knowing that Xuanyuan Muze would definitely go to those places to take a look. Once curiosity is aroused, it cannot be suppressed. Agreed was looking forward to seeing if this final gamble could prove whether time could be changed.

"This is the last attempt, my friend who has come from afar, please don't disappoint me..."

……

Sixteen hours after Press's death, Xuan Yuan Mu Ze couldn't resist his curiosity and went to the planet's research institute.

In the Kingdom of Myriad Races, the research institute is similar to a university. Every adult interested in science can come here to study for free. And in each habitable planet of the Kingdom of Myriad Races, there is such a research institute as a cradle for cultivating scholars.

Xuanyuan Muze stepped inside. At that moment, the dean, dressed in a long robe, who was standing at the entrance of the research institute, immediately went up to him and introduced himself: "Welcome to this place, esteemed guest. I am the dean of the research institute. My name is 'Ekolozma' and I am the dean here."

Xuan Yuan Mu Ze asked with slight surprise, "How did you know I was coming?"

Ekolozma explained, “You are now famous throughout this planet. Newspapers are already well-known for cracking a major corruption case with His Majesty the Emperor. Naturally, I have been paying attention to information related to you. The Research Institute has some of the Spirit's permissions, so the Spirit notified us of your arrival in advance. Naturally, I had to come and welcome you, my distinguished guest, so as not to be impolite to the nation of all races.”

Xuan Yuan Mu Ze exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected to become well-known in this way. Could you tell me about this place?"

Ekolozma politely agreed, "Of course, but if you want to enter the research institute, you have to become a member here first, so... you'll need to bring this with you." As he spoke, he took out a special device.

Then, the device lunged at Xuan Yuan Mu Ze like a facehugger. Startled, Xuan Yuan Mu Ze immediately reached out to stop it, but the device was very agile. It clung to Xuan Yuan Mu Ze's hand and then quickly jumped onto his back, merging with the nano armor on his body. Immediately afterward, Xuan Yuan Mu Ze's mind went blank for a moment, and then a large number of fluorescent screens appeared in front of him. A massive amount of information flooded into Xuan Yuan Mu Ze's mind, making his brain feel a little swollen.

Xuanyuan Muze cried out in panic, "What the hell is this?!"

Ekolozma quickly explained, "This is a terminal device that connects to the Dragon God's Treasury. It needs to connect to your brain to allow you to enter the Dragon God's Treasury. The Dragon God's Treasury is a built-in neural network that we developed by imitating alien races. The Dragon God's Treasury stores all the experimental results and theoretical knowledge collected by scholars in the universe of the Kingdom of Myriad Races. In addition, the spirit particles will also record the past of each planet as historical records."

It can be said that as long as your soul is receptive enough to this information, the Dragon God's Treasury can make you an all-powerful scholar who has inherited all known wisdom. However, you also know that the souls of ordinary people cannot do this. Therefore, the Dragon God's Treasury is more like the Internet in your hometown. All students in research institutes and even scholars connected to it throughout the universe can use the Dragon God's Treasury to access known wisdom and solve most of their problems.

Because it was invented by His Majesty the Dragon God, we named it the 'Dragon God's Treasury.' Students only need to choose a direction to copy all the knowledge in the treasury into their brains. Thanks to this, the students in the research institute have already inherited all the wisdom of their predecessors the moment they connect to the Dragon God's Treasury, directly skipping the educational process and saving a lot of time so they can focus their energy on researching other things.

Xuanyuan Muze was at a loss looking at the massive amount of information shared by the Dragon God's Treasury. However, with a thought, the fluorescent screens disappeared instantly. Xuanyuan Muze touched the connection device behind him and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a convenient invention! But if this is the case, then the research institute won't need to teach at all. What is the point of its existence?"

Echolozma explained, "Of course it's used for research. It has the most advanced experimental instruments and facilities, as well as space gates that lead directly to the experimental sites. Many high-risk experiments, such as dark matter bombs, controlled nuclear fusion, and space curvature modification, are conducted in experimental sites set up on other uninhabitable planets."

The true value of research institutes lies in providing these potential scholars with a place to validate their ideas, allowing them to maximize their imagination and creativity. I can say without any modesty that many research achievements and inventions in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races originated here. Only those who have made achievements in the field of scientific research are awarded the title of scholar and allowed to continue their advanced research at the Academy of Sciences.

Xuanyuan Muze suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see. I thought the research institute was a place where students were taught more advanced knowledge."

Ekolozma laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Dear guest, you are quite the joker. Any high-class civilization would certainly try to shorten the education process and streamline the teaching content as much as possible. We have already spent twelve years on moral education and basic common sense, so how could we waste time on this?"

Not all races are like elves, living for thousands of years. How much time do beings like you and me have in a lifetime? If we waste it all learning from the creations of our predecessors, how much time will we have left to develop our own? If we continue to educate using primitive methods, aren't we just cutting off our own future? In this way, science will gradually become something only those with special talents can study. If a civilization doesn't even have this basic educational awareness, it's truly laughable. If it can't even lower the most crucial 'research threshold,' you can imagine how slow its development will be.”
