".....How's the overall detection progress going?"

Upon hearing Qin Zhendong's inquiry.

In the central office, Chang Qixiang quickly moved the mouse and clicked the refresh button on the screen.

After a row of brand-new results appeared, he reported truthfully:

"Boss Qin, we have currently screened fifty-seven thousand warriors at our six detection points.

Among them, there is one with a single spiritual root, seventy-seven with dual spiritual roots, one thousand five hundred and twenty-two with three spiritual roots, and thirteen thousand three hundred with four spiritual roots.

The remainder are all five spiritual roots.

Based on this ratio combined with the function model provided by the technical department...

After all three hundred thousand warriors are screened, we might have one to three with a single spiritual root, over four hundred with dual roots, around eight thousand with three roots, and more than fifty thousand with four roots.

However, in this case, our original plan to select fifty thousand finalists might not be sufficient.

A batch of warriors with four spiritual roots could potentially be excluded."

Qin Zhendong was still smiling as he listened to the first half of the sentence, clearly satisfied with the screening results.

However, upon hearing Chang Qixiang's last remark, his expression slightly froze, and he sighed somewhat helplessly:

"More than sixty thousand, huh... We currently only have resources to support fifty thousand cultivators. Shortening the cultivation time to accommodate more isn't suitable or reasonable.

How about this? I'll report this situation to the core management first. In a few days, Academician Lin will return to Modu. I'll ask if there's any solution then."

After hanging up the call.

Chang Qixiang continued to follow up on related screening progress, while Qin Zhendong reported to the core management about the detection of Chen Rong having a single spiritual root and the possibility of exceeding the actual number.

......

This detection covered a large number of people; thus, the whole phase lasted several days.

Starting from December 19th, it finally ended on December 23rd.

The final result of this screening is as follows:

A total of three hundred fourteen thousand five hundred twenty warriors participated.

Among them, two warriors with a single spiritual root were detected, namely Chen Rong and Huang Jingsong.

Three hundred ninety-seven warriors with dual spiritual roots were found, named... ahem, let's not list the names.

Nine thousand forty-four with three spiritual roots were detected - worth mentioning is that Qin Zhendong was also found to have a three-spiritual root qualification.

Of course, given his status, he won't be included in the final cultivation selection list.

Aside from the three types mentioned above, fifty-four thousand were detected with four spiritual roots.

The remaining two hundred thousand warriors regrettably were only found to have five spiritual roots, which makes immediate cultivation impossible.

But if there are related resource or technical breakthroughs in the future, these warriors with five spiritual roots will be allocated a bit more Spirit Awakening Pills to awaken their potential.

It's a way to make up for this regret.

With this, the initial selection is officially concluded!

Two days later, in Modu.

It was still the office where Lin Li and Qin Zhendong had reported on the Fire Camp report for two sessions; Lin Li and Qin Zhendong were still there.

Qin Zhendong gently pushed the file compiled by Chang Qixiang in front of Lin Li and said:

"Old Lin, here are the results of our initial selection. Take a look."

Lin Li nodded, took the file.

He had just returned to Modu from the Damo Realm today, and the statistical table had just been released two days prior.

Thus, apart from knowing that two local cultivators with a single spiritual root were detected, Lin Li wasn't familiar with the specific initial selection results.

He then carefully flipped through it and immediately raised his eyebrows:

"Hmm... There are actually over sixty-four thousand warriors meeting the cultivation criteria this time?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhendong sighed with a complex expression:

"Yes, more than sixty-four thousand warriors with four spiritual roots or more, quite a bit more than we expected.

Although I hope more and more of our warriors can cultivate, the reality is... we can only supply fifty thousand warriors for cultivation."

He then raised his head, looking expectantly at Lin Li:

"Old Lin, has there been any new progress at the Fire Camp?

Is there any way to resolve the cultivation spiritual energy for these warriors?"

Lin Li remained silent for a while, then shook his head regretfully:

"I'm afraid it's difficult. Unless these warriors are transferred to the Damo Realm, we can only supply cultivation for fifty thousand on our home soil... the Magic Gate's transport capacity is limited."

Qin Zhendong's nostrils slightly flared, revealing a trace of unobtrusive disappointment in his eyes:

"I see... Alright then..."

Just as Lin Li said.

The Magic Gate's daily carrying capacity is roughly being utilized in four aspects:

Transporting spiritual energy from the Damo Realm to local soil, sending coal from local soil to the Damo Realm, transporting various medium-sized and small machines, and supplying some other living materials.

Each aspect is difficult to reduce.

Take coal as an example.

Although it's been more than three months since the coal mine was discovered, it will take at least one to two months to truly commence operation, and even that's considered fast.

Back home, it usually takes a year or two for a coal mine to proceed from exploration to commencement.

The progress on the iron mine has been faster, with the Mo Family as our helping hand, it will be operational in one to two weeks.

In this situation, we can't halt the coal's transport of spiritual energy, right?

The Damo Realm also requires a huge power supply.

Following that, Qin Zhendong thought of something else and asked Lin Li:

"Old Lin, another question... Once our cultivation warriors on local soil leave the L17 training room, are we sure there's no risk of their cultivation levels reducing or being unable to use spiritual energy?"

Lin Li nodded assuredly, explaining:

"Boss Qin, you may not know, the spiritual power refined by cultivators is stored in their inner ocean, which doesn't dissipate easily.

Therefore, after leaving the training room, a warrior's cultivation won't decrease; it's just that the usable spiritual power is limited.

It's like the energy stored in a camel's hump; once used up, it's gone, and it needs to be refilled."

Qin Zhendong nodded slightly:

"That's a relief then."

It's evident that Qin Zhendong was somewhat disappointed by the inability to increase local cultivation numbers.

But life is like that; not everything can go your way.

Having selected over sixty thousand warriors locally is still considered a good thing, although some individuals may miss certain opportunities due to not being selected.

But who isn't like this in the grand era?

The waves churn up countless droplets in their collision with the rocks on the shore; some droplets are destined to leap higher, shine bright, and may even be captured by high-speed cameras to preserve that moment forever.

Yet other droplets are destined to silently seep into the sand, leaving no trace.

Every grand era sees a variety of people emerge; not everyone can be the main protagonist.

After discussing matters related to the initial selection, Lin Li lightly coughed, expressing his purpose for the visit:

"Boss Qin, it's already December 26 today; New Year's Day is in just five days.

Are there any plans for the camp's New Year's activities from the organization?"

Qin Zhendong looked up at him thoughtfully and asked:

"Why, Old Lin, do you have a plan?"
