Reincarnated with the Country System

Chapter 164: The Joint Organic Research Facility



The Magic Storm descended smoothly, its rotors whirring softly as they approached the landing pad.

The Joint Organic Research Facility is a vast complex. Massive iron walls encircled the facility, a necessary precaution to keep out the island's wild and often dangerous creatures.

The buildings are a mix of modern architecture and organic design, with curved walls and green roofs that blend into the environment. Solar panels and wind turbines provide the facility with sustainable energy. The entire facility took about five months to build. It would have taken longer if Alberto hadn't used his system to purchase the necessary materials to reduce construction time.

The helicopter landed, and Alberto and Elizabeth stepped out of the helicopter.

They were greeted by a group of scientists and security personnel.

The head scientist, Dr. Evelyn Carter, stepped forward with a warm smile. She was a tall, sharp-featured woman, Wearing a lab coat lined with magic-conductive fibres for emergency shielding.

She was a hero. From the system. Also, most of the researchers working here had been purchased from the system by Alberto for 200 million SC.

"Your Excellency, welcome to the Joint Biological Research Facility," Dr. Carter said, bowing slightly. "We're honoured to have you here."

Alberto nodded, his eyes scanning the facility with interest. "Thank you, Dr. Carter. I've heard great things about your work here. I'd love to see it in person."

Elizabeth, standing next to Alberto, added, "The reports we've received are truly amazing. This facility could revolutionize the future of our empire."

Dr. Carter gestured toward the main building. "Please, follow me. We've prepared a short tour to show you the key areas of research."

As they walked, Dr. Carter began to explain the facility's primary objectives. "Our work here focuses on the unique characteristics of the island's ecosystem. As you know, the soil here is very unique. It contains rare minerals and organic compounds that accelerate plant growth and increase nutrient levels. But this is just the beginning."

They entered a large greenhouse, where rows of plants spread out before their eyes. Some of the plants were familiar—wheat, corn, and various fruits—their size was incredible. The wheat stalks were more than ten feet high, and the corn cobs were the size of small tree trunks.

"These are just a few examples of our genetically optimized crops," Dr. Carter explained. "By using the island's soil and a combination of selective breeding and advanced biotechnology, we have been able to create crops that grow faster, yield more, and contain significantly higher levels of nutrients. For example, this wheat has ten times more protein than conventional varieties, and the corn is rich in antioxidants and essential vitamins."

Alberto touched a large corn cob, his expression filled with wonder. "Incredible. If we can scale this up, we could easily solve Britannia's food crisis, and we will never have a shortage of food in the future."

"That's the goal," Dr. Carter replied. "But we're also studying the effects of these crops on human health. As you've heard, the bio-enhanced nutrients in these foods can improve physical strength and cognitive function and even slow the ageing process."

Elizabeth, who had been quietly observing, asked, "What about the long-term effects? Are there any risks associated with consuming these enhanced foods?"

Dr. Carter nodded. "A valid concern. We've conducted extensive studies, and so far, the results are promising. The nutrients are naturally occurring and easily absorbed by the human body. However, we're continuing to monitor for any potential side effects. Our goal is to ensure that these foods are not only beneficial but also safe for widespread consumption."

They moved on to another section of the facility, where researchers were working with animals. Enormous chickens, pigs, and cows roamed in spacious enclosures. The animals were healthy and robust, their size far exceeding that of their counterparts on the mainland.

"These animals are fed a diet consisting entirely of our enhanced crops," Dr. Carter explained. "As a result, they grow larger and produce more meat, milk, and eggs. But more importantly, the nutritional content of their products is significantly higher. For example, the milk from these cows contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and calcium, which are essential for bone and brain health."

Alberto watched a researcher collect eggs from a hen, which is about the size of a small dog. "This could transform our agricultural industry. But what are the environmental impacts? Are these practices sustainable?"

Dr. Carter smiled. "Sustainability is at the core of our research. The island's ecosystem is remarkably resilient, and we've designed our farming practices to work in harmony with nature. For example, we use organic fertilizers and natural pest control methods. We've also developed a closed-loop system where waste from the animals is used to enrich the soil, creating a cycle of continuous regeneration."

During the tour, Dr. Carter took them to a lab where scientists were analyzing plant and animal samples. The room was filled with advanced equipment, including DNA sequencers, microscopes, and bioreactors.

"This is where the main topic happens," Dr. Carter said proudly. "Here, we study the genetic makeup of the island's flora and fauna to understand what makes them so unique. We've identified several key genes responsible for accelerated growth and enhanced nutrition. By isolating and replicating these genes, we can apply them to other species, potentially creating new varieties of crops and livestock that can thrive in different environments."

Alberto stepped forward to examine the DNA sequence displayed on a monitor. "This is groundbreaking work. If we can replicate these genes, we can create crops that grow in arid regions or withstand extreme weather conditions. The implications for global food security are immense."

Elizabeth, who had been silently taking notes, added, "And the potential for medical applications is equally exciting. If these nutrients slow ageing and enhance cellular repair, we could develop new treatments for disease and extend human lifespan."

Dr. Carter nodded. "Exactly. We are already collaborating with medical researchers to explore these possibilities. In fact, we have developed a prototype supplement derived from the island's plants. Preliminary tests suggest that it may enhance immune function and improve overall health."

Dr. Carter handed Alberto a small vial containing a golden liquid. "This is a sample of our prototype supplement."

Alberto looked at the vial and gave a strange smile.

The tour concluded at a mining site within the facility, where workers were extracting brightly coloured stones and minerals from the ground. These were no ordinary rocks—they were magic stones, pulsating with an otherworldly glow. Each stone seemed to radiate a different colour, from deep blues to fiery reds.

"We extract these magic stones and minerals from here," Dr. Carter explained. "They are the main ingredients for creating our magic items. Our Arcane Research Institute uses them to develop various magic devices."

Nearby, a massive cell housed creature unlike anything Alberto or Elizabeth had ever seen.

"Your Majesty, meet these creatures. These creatures are from this island. We're studying them to develop new medicines. For example, That snake-like creature is the Luminous Serpent, its venom has incredible properties that could revolutionize pain management. "

They saw a bright, snake-like creature in a cell whose body emitted a light blue light.

"Your majesty, and that is the Venmothorn Dragonling."

They see a small dragon-like creature in another cell. It has thorn-like horns on its body. It is as tall as a bear.

"Its blood has remarkable healing properties. We are researching it and trying to create a serum that can repair wounds in seconds."

Alberto's eyes gleamed with ambition. "That's Great! If we can harness these creatures' abilities, our power will increase tenfold. This island is a treasure trove of resources."

Dr. Carter hesitated for a moment before adding, "Also, Your Majesty, we have learned about a mountain. The people of this island claim to be a sacred mountain. There may be many other strange plants, creatures, and resources there that we do not know about. We asked them to give us the right to explore it. But they did not agree to it. Because they consider it sacred land and they did not allow us to enter there."

Alberto then thought for a while and said, "Hmm... Okay, I will talk to their king about this when I meet with them."
