Chapter 29 Small Steps, Big Steps_2

Research and experimentation were not Monroe’s forte.
Being forced to do it did not speed up progress, and the results were not necessarily good.
Monroe’s approach was to use every means possible to first eliminate a number of the giant carnivorous creatures.
So, while Elise’s team was slaying left and right, Monroe’s team was doing the same.
The difference was, Elise targeted the Pure Blood members of the opposition camp, especially the Pure Blood Will members;
And Monroe hunted giant carnivorous creatures, often swooping in to seize the monsters just as the opposition’s hunting operation was about to succeed.
For a time, Elise’s team and Monroe’s team were causing great hardship for the opposition camp.
Under the organization of those with ulterior motives, a joint attack against
Elise’s and Monroe’s teams was about to be launched.
Link was grateful that he had accumulated a large amount of witchcraft.
In research and experiments for the reconstruction of the ecosystem, many processes needing considerable time were significantly shortened and efficiency improved with the help of versatile witchcraft.
In just three days and nights, the destructive rescue experiment, which presupposed the elimination of giant carnivorous creatures, had yielded preliminary results.
After the temperature rose to a certain level and four giant ferocious fish died in succession, the ferocious fish born later showed a clear trend of reducing in size.
The changes were not just limited to carnivorous creatures.
Microorganisms, plants, and herbivorous creatures also underwent adaptive changes.
After a cursory comparative evaluation, Link believed that the reconstructed ecosystem was superior to the existing one in terms of sustainability.
However, at this stage of the study, the experimental conditions were not fully met, the experiment process lacked rigor, and the reliability and validity of the experimental data were insufficient. It was too early to declare success.
Link desperately needed a bigger and more suitable venue, more and better experimental materials, and better and more precise experimental equipment to conduct a more long-term and strict experiment.
Only then could it qualify as a bona fide study, culminating in a competent
“paper.”
Hmm…
The aforementioned needs arose from the academic instincts of a researcher.
Actually, Link did not need to go to that extent.
What was the initial purpose of initiating research and experiments on this world’s ecosystem?
It wasn’t to truly build a perfectly balanced ecosystem.
Instead, it was to verify whether reconstructing a sustainable ecosystem could
Save the World.
All of Link’s previous actions, including acquiring equipment, arranging teams to analyze water samples, soil, and biological specimens, and proceeding with ecosystem reconstruction in three different directions, were part of the early- stage demonstration.
The demonstration results did not need to be extremely rigorous; as long as the logic was consistent.
Now, Link had achieved preliminary results.
That is, by raising the temperature, the demise of the giant carnivorous creatures that consumed the most resources in this world could be triggered, thus optimizing the ecological structure, and shifting the existing unbalanced ecosystem towards normal, sustainable development.
This would fulfill the conditions for the world to recuperate and buy time for
the world’s original slow recovery.
The early-stage demonstration yielded desirable results.
The next step was to find a place to submit the “report.
A Wizard Apprentice’s powers were limited; even if they found a method to Save the World or destroy the world, they could not possibly implement it personally.
So, Link determined that the academy must have arranged a certain “place” or “role” to assist competing Wizard Apprentices in verifying their plans.
The location of this “place” or this “role” was a problem.
According to the academy’s usual practice, they would not directly tell the competing apprentices.
The apprentices had to guess, find, and verify on their own.
In this respect, Link had a daring guess.
He wanted to verify his speculation.
“Come over, everyone.”
One morning, Link summoned his team members, who had been buried in research and experiments underground for three days, oblivious to the outside world’s changing situation.
“Boss, what are your orders?”
Buck tended to take on the role of the joint spokesman for the Brotherhood and Social Phobia Groups.
Every time Link gathered everyone, Buck was usually the one to respond first.
Areal vocal proxy.
“I don’t have any orders, but there is something that requires everyone’s cooperation.”
Link said calmly: “This matter is urgent and may require everyone to work extra hours to complete as soon as possible.
“Boss, just give the order.”
Buck thumped his chest, producing a dull sound, and shouted loudly, My brothers and sisters will not hold you back, boss, we will complete the task.” Used to Buck’s antics, Link did not take offense. On the contrary, he actually appreciated this trait.
It was good to have someone in the team who could lighten the mood.
Happy learning, happy working, happy living, huh?
He then said, “I need everyone to summarize their experimental records and data into a written report within two hours and then deliver it to me.”
A report, needless to say, could not be just a few random words.
It had to contain detailed experimental records, solid experimental data, and logically consistent internal logic.
Detailed analyses on water samples, soil, plant specimens, and animal specimens would come into play at this point.
The three different methods used to reconstruct three different ecosystems in three directions had consequential significance.
All this was to corroborate the “Destructive Rescue” approach.
