Chapter 199 Measurement

In a nursing home.

As night fell, the chef and his team left. Zheng Fa and his three companions moved a few reclining chairs and lay side by side in the yard.

The ecological environment here is very good.

The weather is sunny today, the night sky is full of twinkling stars, and the grass and trees send out fragrance.

A gentle breeze blew from the mountainside, and the four of them talked about everything, yet they were happy and content.

"Their condition is that you come to purchase every day, and I have also sent you the price." The old man turned his head and said to Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa nodded, he also looked at the other party's bid.

He also had some understanding of prices - during his three years of high school, he would always go to the vegetable market on weekends to buy some roast chicken and other things.

But the other party's offer was a bit generous.

The same tomatoes may cost a few yuan per pound in the vegetable market, but the price quoted in this quotation is several hundred yuan, which is more than a hundred times higher.

This is still a relatively low increase.

For some vegetables, the price increases are even more excessive.

Seeing Zheng Fa didn't say anything, the old man seemed to think that he thought the price was too low, and explained: "This should be the other party's most sincere offer."

"Hmm? Are you so sincere from the beginning?"

This goes against the grain of business...

"Not yet..." The old man pointed his mouth towards Zheng Fa and pointed at Tang Lingwu.

Tang Lingwu smiled sheepishly: "I asked my father about the turnover and ingredient costs of this restaurant, and also checked the other party's supply channels. After calculation, they should not have lowered the price."

"This... should be a trade secret, right?"

Zheng Fa was stunned.

This is almost stripping off the other person's underwear.

"Many times, the word 'confidential'..." The old man sighed when he heard this: "It's just another way of saying you are not qualified."

Zheng Fa was speechless after hearing this, and then he heard the old man continue, "But they still have some requests."

"What?"

"They are the exclusive supplier and they even want to set a demand for us - that is, we will plant whatever they want. They also said they can raise the price."

This is not surprising. For a restaurant of this level, the word "exclusive" may be more important than deliciousness.

As for the lower demands, naturally, they want more initiative.

"A lot of extra money." The white old man said, "The extra money in a week might be more than what I made in a year before."

That's a bit much.

Although mathematics does not make as much money as many other fields, as a professor at Beijing University, Old Man Bai's annual salary and income from side jobs are still in the millions.

Zheng Fa thought for a while and said, "If we don't agree, how much will our monthly income be?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "Ling Wu has calculated that their prices are high, but the demand is actually not that high - maybe five or six hundred thousand a week."

Zheng Fa now understood why the old man sounded a little moved.

If the other party's conditions are agreed, the nursing home's income will at least double.

"Teacher Bai, I have mentioned the three principles of nursing homes before." Zheng Fa was silent for a while and said, "This business... is just a by-product of our research - our energy should not be involved too much in it."

The old man smacked his lips, already understanding Zheng Fa's thoughts, and just sighed: "At my age, I am dazzled by all this money...but you..."

Tang Lingwu on the side nodded slightly, smiling, and agreed with Zheng Fa's expression.

"You girl, you always have this expression no matter what Zheng Fa says. This business was obviously your idea..." the old man muttered, seeming to be disgusted.

"It was my idea, but... Zheng Fa is Zheng Fa."

Zheng Fa was stunned and looked at Tang Lingwu, wondering why she said that.

Tang Lingwu lay in the rocking chair, looking at the starry sky, and said softly: "He knows what he wants and always walks in one direction. He just wants to see what it's like to cultivate immortals. Isn't this why we got together?"

The old man was stunned, then suddenly laughed.

Teacher Tian at the side patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I think you can't see as clearly as those two kids."

…

The matter was settled in a few words, but the next thing made everyone think hard.

"Lightning? Spiritual plants?" The old man frowned. "It's easy to say... This thing is too rough."

Zheng Fa understood what old man Bai meant.

This is just an idea.

"Magnetic field changes can trigger and promote the production of spiritual plants. What kind of magnetic field changes? Big or small? Changes that are big and small? In which direction, and for how long?" The white old man muttered, "There are so many things to think about, and we don't know where to start."

"I do know a kind of thunder method, which is said to promote the growth of plants." Zheng Fa suddenly said: "It should be said that there are three imperfect thunder methods, heavenly thunder, cloud and rain thunder, and this one - I call it spiritual wood thunder."

Speaking of this, Zheng Fa was also helpless.

How rough are the three kinds of thunder methods in the Tianbei world? The names are all chosen on the spur of the moment.

For example, the names of heavenly thunder and cloud and rain thunder were given by Yan Wushuang and his companions.

But the Lingmu Lei was not taken - mainly because there was no hope of mastering it, so out of sight, out of mind!

"Three types of thunder magic?" Tang Lingwu asked beside him, "What are the differences between the three types?"

"The Heavenly Tribulation Thunder is about the pursuit of power control."

"Clouds, rain and thunder are the pursuit of controlling rainfall."

"And Lingmu Lei is used to control the growth of plants and trees."

Zheng Fa concluded slowly.

"It sounds like each one is more difficult than the last." The old man said, "We can regard power as the intensity of current or voltage, and the other two are different."

"Yes." Zheng Fa also had his own thoughts on this matter: "Cloud, rain and thunder, if we consider the process of rainfall, it may be to change the polarity of water molecules, use electromagnetic fields to make them aggregate into raindrops, or let raindrops dissipate and vaporize - this is a relatively simple large-scale electromagnetic field control."

"And Lingmu Lei is even more difficult to understand, even if Professor Tian's conjecture that the magnetic field changes plants is true." Zheng Fa wanted to sigh even more when talking about this: "The changes of water molecules or raindrops in the electromagnetic field are clear, but how plants change is very vague. The magnetic field changes required may be more complex and microscopic."

The expressions of Old Man Bai and the others were somewhat serious.

Obviously saw the difficulty.

"So I said these are three fundamentally incomplete thunder methods." Zheng Fa explained: "You can say that they are three completely new subjects. Of course, they are a bit difficult, but the experiment on the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder is simple."

Zheng Fa did not mean to underestimate these three types of thunder magic. It can be said that many cultivators from the Xuanwei Realm who are good at thunder magic have gathered in the monument today.

Faced with these three types of thunder techniques, they were completely clueless.

If there were no modern world, Zheng Fa would not have the confidence to have a better understanding of thunder magic than these people...

"Don't be afraid of difficulties." Teacher Tian smiled and said, "As long as you have a direction, you can always get there..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"That's quite true." The old man smacked his lips, "Why do I suddenly feel that cultivating immortals is a perfect match for scientific research..."

Zheng Fa also wanted to sigh.

He had considered this matter a long time ago...

If there is scientific civilization in the Xuanwei world, hundreds of thousands of years can be used to explore the world.

I'm afraid it's no longer in its current state.

But on the other hand, scientific civilization is not inevitable...

…

A few days later, a long metal pole was placed in front of Zheng Fa. The metal pole was connected to several sensors - current sensors, voltage sensors and infrared sensors. The sensors were connected to optical fibers, which were connected to Tang Lingwu's computer in the room.

There was a high-speed camera placed dozens of meters away from him.

Zheng Fa admitted that Yan Wushuang and the others might be more insightful than him in thunder magic...

But he has never been in the field of understanding...

Isn't the experiment fun? For safety reasons, the three old men were watching him in the house.

This was the first experiment that the few of them conducted on the heavenly thunder.

To prevent Reiki from interfering with electromagnetic fields and signals, these things are placed outside of Reiki's range.

The spiritual power in Zheng Fa's body surged out of his body, and under the control of his spiritual consciousness, it operated according to the patterns of the heavenly thunder in the Book of Conferred Gods.

It wasn't the first time he used a spell, but he did use it very rarely.

In his opinion, the magic and talismans of the Xuanwei world are two sides of the same coin.

For example, now, his spiritual consciousness is controlling his spiritual power, and the way it operates in the void is very similar to a rune - but the difference from a rune is that he is controlling his spiritual power to "capture" the rune in the void.

This method is very inefficient. In fact, the power of the spell is more determined by the strength of the spiritual power used.

The purpose of the talisman is to make the talismans in the air gather onto the talisman paper, and the spiritual power injected by the monk becomes a small head instead.

There are other differences between the two - for example, spells have a long pre-swing time, while talismans are extremely fast.

Therefore, spells were gradually replaced by talismans.

Senior Sister Zhang's "Yuan Fu Foundation Building Method" has gone a step further, it is even faster and does not require talisman paper or spiritual ink.

Now this heavenly thunder is not even considered a spell.

Zheng Fa could feel that many of the trajectories of his spiritual power in the air were useless, while some seemed to have absorbed the symbols in the air, but he didn't know what their function was.

The difference between the heavenly tribulation thunder and the thunder methods in the Xuanwei Realm is that its power is extremely great, even so great that it cannot be measured.

It’s not that Zheng Fa hasn’t used thunder talismans before, but they rarely reach the power of a heavenly calamity.

For many cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm, small power and great power are actually easy to explain, and everyone can understand it.

But it is difficult to accurately measure the difference between extremely powerful and extremely powerful.

After this thunderbolt, the people turned into ashes, and it was impossible to tell how cooked they were...

Even if you feel it, it's hard to measure it accurately.

However, with the help of modern instruments, Zheng Fa was able to - to some extent, the progress of modern science is based on the progress of observation methods.

…

As Zheng Fa's spiritual power circulated, suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared in the air and landed on the metal pole.

"How are the people?"

Before Zheng Fa could say anything, the old man Bai and others in the house rushed out and asked.

"It's okay." Zheng Fa shook his head gently and said to the old man, "I'll draw the pattern of my spiritual power just now, can you help me take a look?"

"OK."

that's all.

Bolts of lightning struck the metal pole one after another.

Tracks of the circulation of spiritual power appeared on the old man's notebook.

The relevant data such as current, voltage, temperature and even the length, width and shape of the lightning were recorded on Tang Lingwu's computer.

They stopped the experiment only when Zheng Fa's spiritual power was consumed to a certain extent.
