The age of the contestants is not very old.
Especially those in the younger group, they themselves haven't even reached ten years old, how could they have raised children?
Even the older contestants, who are nineteen years old, haven't raised children.
They are geniuses, not ordinary people; it's impossible for them to have children at nineteen. They themselves were raised like children by many people.
But now they have finally raised a child.
That is, the spaceship.
What they need to do is to have someone go out hunting and gathering plants every day.
Then they practice, working hard to practice.
Those who are resting stay by the spaceship, chatting, but the way they chat is different from before.
For example, when eating, they would first say the name of the food, saying it once for each bite, and when using the utensils made from temporarily smelted minerals, they would repeatedly emphasize, "I am cutting with the knife," "I am picking up with the fork," "I am picking up with the chopsticks."
When walking, they would also say, "I am lifting my left leg," "I am stepping with my right leg," "I am jumping."
To help the things on the spaceship learn to communicate with them as soon as possible, they are enduring great hardship.
Gongsun Murong and Nalasha meditate and practice in the evenings, and go out in the mornings to search for various things, returning at noon to cook.
In the afternoon, they start an hour of study, using the content they recorded from various classes.
The small devices they have make the other contestants very envious. Magical items have similar functions, but they are all too large and inconvenient for individual use.
After an hour of study, the two of them try to make various potions, using many materials from the forest on this planet.
They use familiar materials directly, and for unfamiliar ones, they follow the theoretical steps for potion-making.
Half a month has passed, and the audience is no longer so obsessed. Except for a few people with leisure time, most people only occasionally come to watch.
Especially now, most of the Lance Kent continent is in summer.
When resting at night, some people go to various broadcasting places, eating, drinking, watching, and chatting.
For this, the various empires have paid a considerable price, as broadcasting requires crystal cores to support it.
In the past, the victory of the continent's battles would have been decided by this time, with the victors gaining the resources there, and the losers either all dying or being captured to the other continent.
As for how the captured people lived, it was not something the empires should consider, as they could not go there.
Now, even though it is clear that continuous broadcasting will consume a large amount of crystal cores, the empires have no choice but to grit their teeth and persist.
The contestants are still alive, and the people can see them living there.
What does it mean to interrupt the broadcast?
Give up? Abandon?
Do they still care about public sentiment?
For example, if the Mitchell Empire gives up broadcasting, but the Rexlar Empire persists.
After a month or two, when the Rexlar Empire attacks the Mitchell Empire, will their front-line soldiers still have morale? Will their people still be willing to send their children to the battlefield?
Whoever dares to give up broadcasting is forcing the people to give up their faith.
If the children there give up on their own, commit suicide, or are willing to stay in one place and live without thinking of returning, the people might understand the empire's decision to give up broadcasting.
But the children there are always striving.
The genius children are diligently practicing and continuously teaching the things on the spaceship.
There is no disappointment or helplessness in their eyes, and they do not accept their fate.
On what grounds can the empire give up broadcasting?
Most importantly, the audience has seen hope.
Gongsun Murong and Nalasha are absolute geniuses among geniuses. They have made many potions, some to enhance battle qi, some to enhance mental power.
There are also potions that can help people enter the mental power cultivation state more quickly.
The forest is a treasure trove, and the two of them use spatial movement to go back and forth.
They have not encountered powerful beasts, but they have found a large crystal mine. Yes, the beasts on this planet do not have crystal cores in their bodies.
However, there is a crystal mine here, with the highest purity of all the crystal mines discovered so far, and in large quantities.
The two of them dug it up and brought it to the underground hall for the contestants to use in their cultivation.
They also prepared potions to help improve their strength.
Surprisingly, some contestants who were previously judged to have no magical talent have now perceived magical fluctuations, and all the mages are cultivating battle qi.
It is hard to know what a genius is until you compare. When the audience compares other children with the contestants there, they realize that the term "genius" is not given lightly.
In half a month, all the mages have at least increased their magical level by one, including the original earth mage Harold.
In half a month, all the mages have learned battle qi, with the worst being at the first level of the second stage.
In half a month, one-third of the original warriors have learned magic, and the other two-thirds are just touching the edge.
Although this is partly due to the unique resources of the place being made into potions, it is also inseparable from their own talent and effort.
Plus, Nalasha condensed the magical elements into a water-like state, making it hard not to perceive them.
Of course, the audience thinks that the most talented are still Nalasha and Gongsun Murong. Alchemy is a vast field.
The two of them have gradually improved their potion-making skills.
Their failure rate has decreased, from one or two successes out of a hundred to one or two successes out of ten.
The materials they have wasted are indeed astonishing and heartbreaking.
However, there are plenty of materials there, and others cannot obtain them, so it is worth it to cultivate two geniuses in alchemy.
The audience is full of confidence, and the contestants are also full of confidence.

Another half a month has passed.
All the contestants have become mages, the only regret being that none of them can perform spatial movement.
This might be due to a lack of talent or insufficient accumulation.
Encouraged by Gongsun Murong and Nalasha, they still believe that one day they will be able to perform spatial movement.
They decide to go out and fight outside.
Gongsun Murong and Nalasha explored the entire forest, and after a month, they finally found the edge. The forest covers an area of over 600 million square kilometers.
Further away are deserts, volcanoes, and swamps.
They did not go to those places, fearing they would encounter powerful beasts.
In the entire forest, they found three beasts that required them to use their backup methods to defeat, and they mapped out and marked the locations of other beasts.
They told the contestants not to go to these places, but to go anywhere else, to fight other beasts and each other.
To learn to cooperate and build默契.
To improve in battle and summarize after battle.
At the same time, they also smelt and refine various items, and collect active specimens.
These specimens include animals with short growth cycles and easy to raise, plants with short growth cycles that can serve as main food, and soil rich in trace elements and nutrients.
Gongsun Murong and Nalasha also collected a large amount of various biological tissues, rapidly freezing them at low temperatures and maintaining that temperature with magic.

This day, it is night for the audience outside, at least in the capital of the Rexlar Empire's competition venue.
It has been dark for two hours.
Many people who do not have to work the next day or have leisure time have come here.
People from various bars have also pushed mobile food carts over.
Everyone sets up tables and watches the "program" that makes them feel good under the charming night sky.
Harren Harry is also in place, preparing to start his commentary.
"Less than four hours ago, Gongsun Murong and Nalasha were freezing some things, and the contestants collected things outside a few days ago. Okay, okay, okay, don't throw things at me, I'll change my commentary style.
I'll try to slow down my speech. You have to understand, this isn't my fault. The competitions I used to comment on were intense, and I got used to commenting that way.
Now, since it's not intense, I also have more time to eat, so let's start over."
Harren Harry had just commented a couple of sentences, or maybe just one, when he noticed many seafood shells flying towards him, and even two empty beer bottles.
Fortunately, he is a mage and successfully blocked these simple attacks. He understood why and, not wanting to get hit, had to speak more clearly.
He was very relieved that there were no grand mages among the attackers.
"Let's see what Gongsun Murong and Nalasha are doing. I believe some people have already guessed. They are considering raising animals and growing food on the spaceship so that the contestants can live for a long time.
They are also using magic to assist in smelting many metals with the furnace they made. If I'm not mistaken, they are planning to expand the spaceship.
According to their previous reports, we know that the spaceship is 1,625 meters long, 451 meters wide, and 409 meters high.
Yes, it is a spaceship, not a ship that floats on water. Otherwise, the length-to-width-to-height ratio would be incorrect, and no ship would be safe with such proportions.
I'm not sure if they will directly attach new parts or dismantle the spaceship and re-weld it. Of course, the premise is that the spaceship is still usable and accessible to them."
At this point, Harren Harry grabbed a large shrimp, peeled it, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and washed it down with a mouthful of beer. He sucked his fingers and casually wiped his hands on his clothes, then continued.
"Why are they freezing things at low temperatures and quickly? Some people might understand this technology. Freezing and then thawing has a high possibility of keeping these things 'alive.' With subsequent cultivation, they can grow back to their original state.
In other words, they are not only working hard to survive but also considering what we need. We cannot communicate with them, so everything we see is what they have considered on their own.
Under such conditions and pressure, they can still calmly think about what we need. I have to admit, they are truly excellent.
Their abilities are enough to be the duke of a small principality. They have considered all aspects of the situation. With further cultivation, they might become a minister in the capital."
"No, if they can return and are willing to work, I will give them the position of First Minister directly," the voice of Emperor Rexlar suddenly echoed throughout the venue.
The First Minister sitting next to him nodded continuously, indicating his agreement.
