Chapter 200 Equations (4K)

When Zheng Fa walked into the room, Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu were both busy.

Tang Lingwu processed the data collected from various sensors on the computer, including the current and voltage intensity of each electric shock, including the temperature, as well as the shape and color of the lightning captured by high-speed cameras.

The old man looked at the various patterns on the paper, trying to find the key.

Zheng Faxian walked over to the old man Bai and sat down. He felt a little tired for the first time in a long time.

The thunder magic of the Tianbei Realm is somewhat strange: the power of the heavenly thunder is far greater than that of ordinary thunder magic, but on the other hand, the requirements for cultivation are relatively low.

Zheng Fa is only in the foundation-building stage, and he has just released nearly eight or nine heavenly thunders. If he didn't want to save some spiritual power for the "Lingshan Method", he probably would have enough energy to do it two more times.

But he didn't feel it just now, but now he felt a tingling pain in his head, especially in his temples - as if someone was holding an electric drill and was trying to open a tunnel through his head.

He sat at the table, pinching his temples, and recalled a similar situation recorded in the Jiushan Sect's scriptures - this was a sign of slight damage to the soul after excessive consumption.

This was very rare for him. Compared to his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, the strength of his spiritual awareness even exceeded that in the late stage of foundation building.

Generally speaking, his spiritual power should be exhausted before his soul.

This made him wonder whether the excessive power of the heavenly thunder came from the excessive consumption of the cultivator's soul.

"Zheng Fa, what's wrong with you?"

The old man's eyes were originally on the draft in front of him. He seemed to sense that something was wrong with him. He turned around and saw that his face was pale, so he couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay. I've consumed too much of my spiritual power. I just need to rest more these few days." Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "Did you find anything?"

The Heavenly Tribulation Thunder is considered the most basic of the Tianbei Thunder Techniques.

However, Yan Wushuang and others were unable to master it. There were two main reasons for this: the first was that no one knew how the heavenly thunder was produced.

In other words, among so many patterns, which one can be the symbol of heavenly thunder?

If this point is not understood, the second question naturally arises: how to control the strength of the heavenly thunder.

At this time, Old Man Bai was trying to study the first point. The idea was actually very simple: every time Zheng Fa successfully cast the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, he would collect the trajectory of the spiritual power, and then use topology to find the same pattern in the trajectory: this was exactly the same as studying the path of talismans.

But for the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm who have not received topological training, none of these trajectories may be the same...

"Well, this is very simple." The old man pointed to the draft paper on the table: "These patterns will appear every time, but the number of times they appear is different each time."

Zheng Fa took a look and nodded, saying, "If we add the Five Elements Talisman, this might be the Talisman of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder."

According to the Three-Element Sub-Talisman Law conjectured by him, Old Man Bai and others, if magic is regarded as another form of talismans, then the spiritual power itself can provide the five elements of sub-talismans, and these running trajectories should correspond to the second and third types of sub-talismans.

"Yes... it's a pity that I didn't find that this Heavenly Tribulation Thunder pattern has the same sub-symbol as the other thunder magic talismans." The old man looked around just now because of this: "If Ling Wu's conjecture about the interactive sub-symbols is true, then the thunder magic... should have exactly the same sub-symbols."

Zheng Fa was also a little hesitant after hearing this.

They studied thunder magic because the target of this magic is relatively simple. Regardless of whether thunder magic is essentially an effect on electrons or an effect on electromagnetic fields... the target should be the same, that is, it has the same sub-symbol.

Can……

No.

This resulted in them having a feeling of a blind man touching an elephant when it came to these two types of sub-symbols, and they touched a different part each time.

…

"Okay!" Just as Tang Lingwu was speaking, a light cry came from her side. The two turned their heads and looked. On Tang Lingwu's computer screen, there were various lightning patterns of different colors and lengths.

There are some ups and downs curves on the side.

Displays the current, voltage and temperature generated by each lightning on the metal column.

Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai walked over and looked at the various data on the screen.

"Is there any pattern?" asked the old man.

"There is no particular pattern, except for the correspondence between current and voltage, and between temperature and lightning color."

Zheng Fa nodded. These actually have a certain correspondence in physics.

"Take a look at this?" The old man handed over the analyzed pattern. Tang Lingwu took a look at it and frowned. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and operated on the keyboard continuously. She didn't even have time to pay attention to Zheng Fa and the others.

Zheng Fa looked at each other, walked forward and looked at the computer screen.

"Is this... fitting?"

Zheng Fa understood after looking for a while. Tang Lingwu was fitting the number of times the same symbols appeared with various data, trying to find out the pattern.

These data are not complicated, they can even be said to be simple.

An equation quickly appeared on the computer.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he concluded directly: "The current intensity is roughly proportional to the sixth power of this number?"

Zheng Fa was also a little surprised. The fitting result was quite simple. It was just a simple sixth-order equation. Leaving aside the coefficients, the variable X in the equation was the number of times the symbol appeared, and the other end of the equation was the peak value of the current.

"In other words, if we want to control the power of lightning, we just need to control the number of times the symbol appears?"

Several people looked at the formula and were a little silent. This formula was too simple, so simple that it made people lose confidence.

"That is to say, the number of times the talisman appears can determine the energy of the heavenly tribulation thunder." The old man frowned and concluded: "This... seems to be similar to the working process of the spiritual talisman?"

"Yes." Zheng Fa also thought of this: "When drawing the talisman, it will absorb the talismans in the void. In other words, this increases the number of times the talisman appears. The more times it appears, the greater its power."

Zheng Fa said slowly. He looked at the formula and suddenly said, "This reminds me of a concept in junior high school physics..."

"What?"

“Work.” Zheng Fa explained slowly: “Whether it’s spiritual energy or spiritual power, these symbols are the paths along which they flow. Only along certain special paths can they produce the correct effects. It can almost be likened to doing useful work on certain substances along these paths.”

"And I can feel that as my spiritual power moves along the trajectory, my spiritual power is also consumed - that is, my spiritual power is transformed into lightning energy through this trajectory movement."

“Now that you mention it…” The old man said blankly, “It’s very similar! Spiritual energy does work and is converted into corresponding electrical energy, but it’s not linear…”

"So have we figured out the functional equation of the heavenly thunder?" Tang Lingwu concluded after listening for a long time.

"It should be called the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Psychic Energy Equation. With this equation, at least controlling the strength of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder will not be a problem." The old man corrected: "But, yes! We have made a discovery in our first experiment!"

At this point, the old man sighed again: "Why does it seem like there are always new results in this research on cultivating immortals..."

He said with some regret: "It's a pity that we don't have a journal... Otherwise, publishing papers here would be as easy as a sow giving birth!"

Zheng Fa smiled. If he could really control the Tianbei Realm and have a safe rear base, journals and the like... he did have plans.

…

Mysterious world.

Zheng Fa was meditating in the room, slowly recovering his spirit, still thinking about the energy equation of the heavenly thunder.

This equation reveals an extremely simple but long-ignored phenomenon - the power of a spell is determined by how many effective paths the spiritual force or aura has traveled.

In fact, people in the Xuanwei Realm are not without this feeling. They actually know that the more similar symbols a talisman attracts, the greater the power of the talisman, but wanting to understand the quantitative relationship between them is another matter.

By now, at least Zheng Fa has a direction in how to control the power of the heavenly thunder.

…

While Zheng Fa was concentrating on his cultivation, Uncle Pang was chatting with Sister Zhang in the main hall. As expected, the focus of their conversation was Zheng Fa.

"If we can control the Heavenly Stele Realm..." Uncle Pang couldn't help but be excited: "My Nine Mountains Sect will have nothing to worry about in the future... I just don't know how confident nephew Zheng is."

Senior Sister Zhang knew that it was not that Senior Uncle Pang did not trust Zheng Fa, but that facing such a great opportunity, people would inevitably worry about gains and losses and have wild thoughts. She comforted him, "Senior Brother Zheng... you also know Junior Uncle."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Um?"

“Coward!”

"Yeah...that's right!"

"Junior Brother Zheng has always been a cautious person. I discovered this when he was helping me manage the market... He never speaks with all his heart. He only says he is 80% sure of something." Senior Sister Zhang's words made Uncle Pang nod slowly: "Now that he told us that he wants to control the Tianbei Realm, I'm afraid he is quite sure in his heart."

Hearing her say this, Uncle Pang gradually smiled, even with a bit of embarrassment: "You are indeed very insightful, my nephew. I have lost my composure and I still need you to comfort me."

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head and said, "It's not that my uncle doesn't know this, he just takes the Jiushan Sect too seriously..."

Uncle Pang's smile became even more embarrassed when he heard this. He looked towards Zheng Fa's room and said softly, "It's a pity that there are so few disciples of my Jiushan Sect who practice thunder magic now... I can't give Zheng Fa any help... No, I have to send someone to the market to see if there are any new spiritual materials!"

Seeing how worried he was, Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but laugh.

Just when Uncle Pang was about to call his disciples to go to the market town, the two of them suddenly seemed to sense something at the same time and looked outside the market town.

A ray of purple light came from the sky and landed in front of Lei Chi Market in the blink of an eye. The light scattered, and a tall and beautiful woman with a small bell in her hair stood in front of the market. She clasped her fists towards Wulong Tiangong and said, "Is Master Pang of Jiushan Sect here? Xiao Yuying is here to visit."

She looked to be no more than twenty years old, but her words suggested that she was on equal footing with Master Pang.

The noisy Lei Chi market fell silent for a moment. People in the market looked at the woman cautiously, wondering why she was speaking so arrogantly.

"Xiao Yuying?" Uncle Pang from the Five Dragons Palace was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something. His face changed drastically and he walked out.

The main gate of the Five Dragons Palace was wide open, and Master Pang hurriedly walked towards the outside of the market town, intending to greet them in person.

"The arrival of Fairy Ling Ye brings glory to our Five Dragons Palace... Please come in, please come in!"

After hearing his words, people in the market finally understood who this woman was.

"It's actually Fairy Lingye... No wonder Master Pang is so serious."

"She came here for this Leichi as well?"

"What nonsense! Fairy Ling Ye was known as the best in Jindan Thunder Magic during her Jindan period, and was as famous as Fairy Zhang of Jiushan Sect. She even entered the Nascent Soul stage earlier than Zhang Wuyi...Apart from the Thunder Pond, what else is there worth her coming here?"

"Who said there isn't one? Isn't it the Heavenly Monument?"

…

"Fairy Xiao, are you here for the Heavenly Monument as well?"

In the Five Dragons Palace, Uncle Pang and Sister Zhang were receiving Lingye Fairy Xiao Yuying. After a few words, she explained the purpose of her visit.

"That's right. I heard that this heavenly stele is closely related to thunder magic, so I want to take a look. I want to meet Master Pang and ask you if your sect knows anything about this heavenly stele."

"Understand... Of course I have some." Uncle Pang glanced at Sister Zhang and knew that some things were easy for a Yuanying Zhenren to find out, and it would be petty to hide them.

He simply talked about the matters concerning the burial mound and the Heavenly Stele Thunder Method. Xiao Yuying's beautiful eyes flickered as she listened, and she seemed to be extremely interested.

Uncle Pang and Sister Zhang looked at each other, feeling even worse. He asked Xiao Yuying dryly, "This Thunder Pond has been around for a long time, why did the fairy come here just now?"

Xiao Yuying seemed a little embarrassed: "The Thunder Pond is dangerous to begin with, and with the Great Freedom Demon Cult beside us... I naturally have to be cautious."

“…”

Senior Sister Zhang was a little speechless. So now that they have defeated the Great Freedom Demon Sect and made them retreat, you are here?

"But...if someone else had gone in earlier and obtained the Heavenly Monument, wouldn't the Fairy have been delayed?"

Xiao Yuying smiled: "Others? Who? Yan Wushuang from Tianhe Sect?"

She actually began to comment on Yan Wushuang: "This man is not lacking in ambition and perseverance, but his talent and understanding are a little lacking... It won't matter if I let him stay for a few months."

The tone of her voice revealed her extreme self-confidence.

After getting the news, Xiao Yuying suddenly said, "I came here for another thing..."

"Um?"

"If I control the Heavenly Monument, I'm afraid this Thunder Pond won't be able to stop the Great Freedom Demon Sect." Xiao Yuying actually said this: "I came to visit you, Master Pang, to remind you, the Nine Mountains Sect, to make preparations early."

"This..." Uncle Pang was stunned, not knowing what to say: "Thank you for reminding me, Fairy."

"That's good." Xiao Yuying nodded and said to the two of them, "Then I'll take my leave. I also want to thank Master Pang for the news."

"Okay, okay..."

Watching her gradually walk away, Uncle Pang was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "This person is really extraordinary."

"Um?"

“If he didn’t have amazing abilities, and this kind of character that makes good intentions so irritating…” Uncle Pang sighed, “Can he live to the Nascent Soul stage?”

Senior Sister Zhang thought about it, then looked at herself again, and felt that what Senior Uncle Pang said...

That makes sense!

"However, this person's talent in thunder magic is definitely not inferior to your talent in talismans, Brother Zhang. He must be a formidable rival to Zheng Fa..." Uncle Pang's tone showed deep worry.
