Chapter 324: Guaranteed Profit, Reproductive Isolation

There was lightning in the sky and an iron ball on the ground.

In the ball, Madam Xuanhua, wearing a bracelet, squatted inside, raised her head, and waited for the thunder to fall - she still didn't quite believe in the magic of this cage. In the Xuanwei world, what you see may not be true, but it is always worth believing if the thunder hits your body.

So she wanted to try it herself.

After an incense stick of time, Madam Xuanhua walked out of the cage in a trance, like a giant monkey in the zoo who suddenly began to understand humans...

After she came to her senses, she said to Zheng Fa with great interest: "This bracelet is just a cheap magic weapon, and this metal net is not even a magic weapon. The combination of the two can actually defend against Jindan and even Yuanying level lightning magic..."

"I have seen many magical weapons, but I have never seen one so good and so cheap!"

Although these two things are extremely effective in defending against thunder magic, as Madam Xuanhua said, they are not perfect: first of all, this bracelet is just a magic weapon, and its shielding of spiritual energy is naturally limited. Thunder magic above the Golden Core level can ignore its shielding effect.

Secondly, the Faraday cage itself has limitations:

For example, it can only block electromagnetic waves with wavelengths larger than the gaps in the grid.

Moreover, the conductive properties of the metal also determine how strong the lightning this thing can block - in simple terms, it is whether there are so many free electrons in the metal to form a reverse electric field. It is for this reason that the Faraday cage works best when it is grounded, because it can make use of the free electrons in the ground.

But being grounded naturally limits the mobility of this thing.

However, just like what Madam Xuanhua said - what's the point of using such little spiritual stones!

After listening to Zheng Fa's explanation, Madam Xuanhua nodded, and she actually looked a little more balanced. Not only was she not disappointed, but she said, "Being unable to move is also very useful... For example, to survive a thunderstorm!"

With a quick thought, she figured out a use for this thing.

Zheng Fa wanted to try the Faraday cage because he actually thought of this - not everyone is as perverted as Yan Wushuang, and the hobby of being struck by lightning is still relatively niche.

From the Golden Elixir to the Nascent Soul, one has to go through the thunder tribulation. When going through the thunder tribulation, no one dares to run around.

This thing is perfect.

Even Senior Sister Zhang nodded and said with a smile, "Just for this reason alone, this thing has immeasurable merits and will be of great help to our Jiushan Sect in the future."

"More than that, if it is made into a robe..." Madam Xuanhua is an expert in refining equipment after all. Now her thoughts are divergent and she has unlimited inspiration: "Standing it on the ground, combined with your Sun and Moon Clock, it will be simply..."

“Heaven is unfair!”

Zheng Fa thought about it and felt that it was indeed a bit bullying.

Xiao Yuying on the side sighed: "I think this thing is bullying thunder cultivators like us..."

Zheng Fa looked at her speechlessly and said, "No, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator and you understand the principle behind it."

Why should she be bullied? But looking at Xiao Yuying's expression, he understood - she was bullied by science.

Come to think of it, no matter how talented one is, it is not easy to practice the Golden Elixir Thunder Method.

In the end, all this effort was in vain because of a simple net...

No matter how talented you are, you will eventually break through defense, okay? ...

After talking about the Faraday cage for a while, Zheng Fa looked at the disciples who had been recruited and suddenly remembered something.

"You have all participated in the Golden Elixir Project. I have a Golden Elixir design here. Take a look and see if there is any way to realize it."

Zheng Fa took out a jade tube from his storage bag and handed it to them.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the faint sound of footsteps behind him, and then something warm and soft hit his arm, and a faint sweet smell hit his nose.

Turning around, Madam Xuanhua stretched out her hand with curiosity on her face, as if she wanted to take the jade tube from his hand.

He swung his arm slightly to avoid the hand extended by Madam Xuanhua.

Madam Xuanhua's eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Zheng Fa, her heart filled with surprise and confusion, and even a little anger: "I am also a participant in the "Golden Elixir Project"! I have made contributions to your Jiushan Sect! I used spiritual stones to refine external elixirs for you! I also sold myself to you, Zheng Fa! Now you are not even willing to show me a jade tube?

Do you think I am an outsider after all?

Seeing her expression, Zheng Fa couldn't help but laugh and explained, "This is also a mortal's thing. I'm afraid you, Madam Xuanhua, are not interested in it."

"Mortal's stuff?" Madam Xuanhua was stunned. "How can a golden elixir become a mortal's stuff?"

Zheng Fa thought about it and handed the jade tube to her.

He did not lie to Madam Xuanhua. Inside the jade tube was actually the nuclear reactor that Zheng Fa had envisioned.

In other words, simplify the golden elixir.

Through the "Golden Elixir Project", Zheng Fa now understands that there are actually three reactions in the golden elixir - fusion, fission, and finally, the aggregation of new particles and spiritual energy.

If it just wanted to be a reactor, the last step was not necessary and was redundant because he had always suspected that the aggregation of new particles and spiritual energy would actually consume energy.

The design of the elixir in the jade tube deleted the last step, in an attempt to create an elixir that only has fusion and fission reactions... that is, a nuclear reactor.

Just like what Zheng Fa said to Madam Xuanhua - this design actually has little effect on cultivators. The spells of Jindan cultivators are just as powerful and more flexible.

But for mortals, this thing is simply a leap forward in civilization.

Especially for the mortals of the Nine Mountains, this is a direct transition from the fishing and hunting era to the nuclear energy era...

Madam Xuanhua used her spiritual sense to read the contents of the jade tube, then raised her head and looked at Zheng Fa with a very strange look: "What about the town you designed at the end... no, the city?"

Zheng Fa did not expect that what Madam Xuanhua cared about most was his idea of ​​using the golden elixir in the jade tube...

"I plan to use this golden elixir on Paradise Island first..."

Today, Le Tu Island has been regarded as a special zone of the Jiushan Realm... er, a test field. This is naturally due to the isolation of the Jiushan Sect from the mortals. More importantly, it is better to test one's ideas on Le Tu Island first, collect the reactions of the island residents nearby, and accumulate experience for the subsequent promotion in the mortal world of the Jiushan Realm.

In the jade tube, Zheng Fa planned a modern city.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration to call it a city, it’s just a town with better lighting.

The energy for lighting is provided by the golden elixir.

In fact, on Paradise Island, this plan does not seem to be that useful.

But again, Paradise Island was meant to serve as a model for the mortal world of the Nine Mountains.

The mortal world of the Nine Mountains is vast, but the population is extremely dispersed, commercial exchanges between them are not smooth, and education is even more troublesome.

If we could build cities, there would be more developed commerce, fairer education, and more communication and division of labor.

There is no need to elaborate on the benefits of these to the development of civilization.

At present, Zheng Fa's application of the golden elixir energy is still very rough, and he even only mentioned lighting.

But it is also very useful just for lighting.

City dwellers make better use of their time.

In agriculture, controlling light can also increase crop yields to a certain extent.

As for the future of Jiushan Industry, lighting will be even more important.

It’s not that these things are unattainable in the world of immortal cultivation, but... who will do it?

In the Xuanwei Realm, over the past few eras, the world of immortal cultivation may have evolved, but the mundane world has remained in the agricultural society.

What Zheng Fa wants now... is the modernization of the Nine Mountains Realm! Madam Xuanhua is not a stupid person. Although she did not fully understand Zheng Fa's ideas, she also vaguely felt the earth-shaking changes in it.

She looked at Zheng Fa with a complicated expression.

Senior Sister Zhang and Xiao Yuying looked at them curiously. They took the jade tube from Madam Xuanhua and read it. When they looked at Zheng Fa again, they were also a little surprised.

Perhaps, Zheng Fa only drew a blueprint in the jade tube.

But they can see the power to change the world in it!

Facing their gazes, Zheng Fa smiled and said, "I have told you before, Madam Xuanhua, that the path of weapon refining... actually has more possibilities."

"It's just that this thing is indeed for mortals. If you, Madam Xuanhua, are not interested..."

"...Who said I'm not interested?" Madam Xuanhua interrupted him, her eyes sparkling, and she snatched the jade tube from Xiao Yuying's hand, saying rapidly, "I also have a heart to help the world!"

Zheng Fa: ...Really? I don't believe it! I can't tell at all! You heard that mortal things are not like this before! He thought about it and persuaded: "Madam, your most important task now... is to manufacture experimental instruments."

This simplified golden elixir is fundamentally for the development of the Nine Mountains Realm, and then more spiritual materials will be produced through the Sun and Moon Bell.

But he didn't forget... his main task was to create his own magic weapon! To create a magic weapon, he naturally needed experimental equipment, which was why he didn't think of letting Madam Xuanhua accept the task of simplifying the golden elixir.

"No delay!" Madam Xuanhua patted her plump chest and said something that even moved Zheng Fa: "I'll just spend more time!"

Not only do you bring your own food to work, but you even ask to work overtime?

…

Madam Xuanhua took the jade tube and walked towards her own yard with Xiao Yuying.

Her consciousness was still immersed in the jade tube, and she seemed to be racing against time to understand the ideas within it. Just as she said, she was racing against time.

Xiao Yuying looked at Madam Xuanhua frequently, as if she wanted to ask something.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"You look like you're sick..." Xiao Yuying said bluntly, "You've entered this Nine Mountains Realm, so you're selling yourself out!"

She knew this woman too well. She had never been one to make sacrifices and give selflessly!

Xiao Yuying even had a feeling that she didn't know Madam Xuanhua.

"You are the one who is ill!"

"So you...are interested in Zheng Fa?"

Xiao Yuying's eyes moved and she looked at Madam Xuanhua in surprise.

"...Men? Men feel comfortable with spirit stones?"

"?"

Madam Xuanhua raised her lips, glanced at her, and said, "You don't understand. Let's not talk about the external elixirs in the Golden Elixir Project. The methods and cages, as well as this simplified golden elixir... are all unprecedented innovations!"

"What does pioneering mean? If I can do it, I will be one of the ancestors!"

Xiao Yuying was stunned at first, then she suddenly understood and said:

"Indeed, if you can make this simplified golden elixir... you will probably be able to leave your name in the history of this era."

At this point, she looked at Madam Xuanhua with some admiration in her eyes: "I didn't expect that you still have such ambition..."

“That’s right. Not to mention the Nascent Soul cultivators, even those who once reached the God Transformation stage have perished in various secret caves and are unknown to the public… If you can create these unique magic weapons, future generations will never forget you.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Xuanhua fell into deep thought. Then, she frowned and asked, "Why should I want future generations to remember me?"

“…”

"These innovations are a unique business! Do you know how much spiritual stones I can earn from this unique business? No one else has it!"

"Now, I make less money from selling an external pill than before... But I heard that many cultivators have already ordered external pills from Zheng Fa! That shows how good the sales are! I'm afraid I'll make more money in the future!"

"Just think about it, the defensive treasure made of the cage... and this simplified golden elixir, if they all work, I..." Madam Xuanhua showed a rippled smile on her face: "I can become the most profitable weapon refining master!"

Xiao Yuying: Well, I wasn’t possessed.

"I'm telling you, I'm sure to make a profit from selling myself this time!"

The tone of Mrs. Xuanhua's words was as if she wanted to put her hands on her hips and raise her head, as if she was proud of being the best worker.

…

The strongest worker is indeed very strong...

"What are these...?"

Zheng Fa looked at the experimental data in his hand, feeling a little confused.

"We have examined the electron microscope test results you requested for several new particles produced in the Divine Sky Waidan."

"Did you make it?"

Zheng Fa said in surprise.

To be honest, he really didn't expect the speed to be so fast.

"Projection electron microscope...there is that sample we can't produce." Mrs. Xuanhua frowned, looking dissatisfied.

"But you mentioned that scanning electron microscope. There are some ways to do it."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly. The transmission electron microscope requires ultra-thin samples, at the level of hundreds of nanometers... The precision of the Jiushan Realm is far from this level now.

but……

Scanning electron microscopy is not simple, right?

"According to what you said, the scanning electron microscope is divided into three parts:"

"Electron emission device, vacuum tube, experimental detection device."

"The first two are easy to do. They can be achieved using thunder magic or magic."

After saying that, Madam Xuanhua pointed, and Zheng Fa saw a strange-looking thing on the table -

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This thing looks like a glass tube, with a square transparent box connected to the back of the tube, which looks like an ugly kettle.

There are many patterns painted on the boxes and tubes, including the two shielding symbols and other symbols - probably to create a vacuum.

"Where's the detection device?"

You know, what Zheng Fa was most worried about at the beginning was actually the detection device - this thing in modern times requires all kinds of sophisticated sensors and even the help of computers.

Madam Xuanhua stretched out her finger again and pointed at Xiao Yuying who was standing beside her.

Zheng Fa: ...

The Yuan Magnetic Dao Body is so terrifying! However, Xiao Yuying pointed at the data and said, "I can only feel these things, but I don't understand them."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly. He understood what Xiao Yuying meant - the sensing accuracy of the metamagnetic body was extremely high, but asking Xiao Yuying to explain the reason would be too difficult for her.

Now, the data recorded Xiao Yuying's feelings: for example, how strong the thunder power was in a certain place, which was roughly equivalent to which kind of thunder method caused it...

To translate, this means how strong the electromagnetic waves are in the surrounding space after the electrons collide with the sample.

As for what this represents.

Xiao Yuying naturally didn't understand.

Of course Zheng Fa didn't understand either.

But...some people in modern times understand!

…

"President Zheng, I have already asked someone to process the experimental data you gave me, but..." Team Leader Yang looked at Zheng Fa with a strange expression, "That person wants to ask, how can there be such detailed, yet original experimental data..."

Zheng Fa looked up at the sky.

Meta-magnetic body, I don’t understand it either!

"What do you mean?"

The white old man on the side asked.

"Those people said that they had never seen anyone who could afford an electron microscope but not a computer..."

“…”

That’s because Senior Sister Zhang’s evolution is incomplete.

Team Leader Yang just asked, and seeing that Zheng Fa was unwilling to say more, he changed the subject and said, "President Zheng, Jiushan Martial Arts School has summarized the first set of popular martial arts. Do you have time to take a look?"

Zheng Fa nodded and said, "Let's ask the apprentices from the martial arts school to come to the nursing home."

"Okay!" Team Leader Yang agreed with a smile and walked out, as if to make arrangements.

…

At this time, the old man said: "We can also do this test data in our nursing home."

Zheng Fa understood what the old man Bai meant - it is actually possible to check the product of Shenxiao Golden Pill in modern times.

After all, Zheng Fa had the Shenxiao Golden Elixir, and modern times also have sophisticated electron microscopes.

The reason why he handed over Xiao Yuying's examination results to Team Leader Yang was actually to see if there was any difference between the Shenxiao Waidan and the golden elixir in his body.

After all, one was refined by the alchemy furnace, and the other was refined by himself, and there was also a Fusang wood in his body...

It is hard to say whether the two are exactly the same. After all, science is an extremely delicate thing, and it is definitely not okay to take it for granted...

"So, can your golden elixir really produce matter out of thin air?"

Tang Mudao on the side stared at Zheng Fa, still seemingly unable to believe it.

Zheng Fa smiled, and with a movement of his spiritual consciousness, the golden elixir in his body flew from his dantian directly to the sky above the nursing home.

The entire nursing home was brightly lit.

As Zheng Fa's mind moved, a block that looked like iron but not iron, and like stone but not stone, suddenly flew out from the golden elixir.

"This is……"

"The product of the golden elixir."

Because he has not yet started to condense his own magical weapon, the particles created by the golden elixir were randomly mixed together by him in order to bring them to the modern world for testing.

If it were someone else, they would naturally be reluctant to do so - ordinary golden elixirs have limited evil energy, and even every particle produced needs to be carefully calculated to create their own magic weapon.

But Zheng Fa… was a local tyrant! This was naturally nothing.

Hearing this, the old man looked at the block, smacked his lips, and said with a sigh: "In time, you won't give birth to a Monkey King, will you?"

"I don't have Sun Wukong, but... Fusangmu, I really want to have one."

Zheng Fa answered casually.

"Um?"

Everyone looked at Zheng Fa in confusion, not knowing why he said that.

"I want to see if I can grow a hibiscus tree."

"This thing... is it something from mythology? How do I grow it?"

The white old man asked stupidly.

Now that he was talking about it, Zheng Fa began to talk about his thoughts: "Before, when I cultivated into the Qingyang Dao Body, wasn't there an extra organelle in the cells of my body?"

"I remember."

Old Man Bai and others nodded.

They had all examined their own cells at that time, and they all remembered clearly the abnormalities in Zheng Fa's cells.

"Later, didn't we also examine the cells of the pea seedlings?"

"Um……"

The old man's expression gradually changed.

He seemed to understand what Zheng Fa meant.

"Is the structure in my cells similar to that in the pea sprout cells?"

The old man raised his hands, covered his head, and stopped Zheng Fa from continuing: "Wait a minute."

"I understand what you mean... You want to use your cells and other plant cells, oh, especially mulberry cells, to fuse and see if you can fuse them into a hibiscus tree?"

Zheng Fa smiled and said, "Professor Bai, you understand things really quickly!"

The old man was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked at his wife, Teacher Tian, ​​who was standing beside him: "I'm not good at biology. There is reproductive isolation between humans and trees, right?"

“…”

Teacher Tian nodded silently.

"That person can't... at least shouldn't... want to have children with the tree, right?"

The old white man's tone became even weirder.

"Um……"

A group of people looked at Zheng Fa as if he were a pervert.

Zheng Fa: "I am devoting myself to science..."

The old man curled his lips and said: "It is really amazing to have formed a golden elixir. It is not right for a human to be so self-righteous!"

…

After the joke, Teacher Tian nodded and said, "Do you want to use the protoplasm fusion technology?"

"Yes... or rather, I want to transplant the spiritual organelle in my cells into the plant to see if I can do it."

Zheng Fa's idea was indeed inspired by the spiritual structure in the pea.

It was also because he had recently learned about protoplasm fusion, otherwise he wouldn't be so perverted...

If the spiritual roots of heaven and earth can be considered a kind of spiritual plant, then there should be similar structures in the cells.

This structure...is it the same as the one in my own Qingyang Taoist body?

This is why Zheng Fa wants to be an inhuman.

"This is difficult... Animal cells and plant cells are very different. If you want to succeed, I'm afraid you need to transplant the organelle in your cell separately. I can't think of a way yet, so I have to ask others."

Zheng Fa also nodded. This thing really seemed like a crazy fantasy.

On the other hand, he didn't know enough about the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and he didn't even know if this thing could be considered a spiritual plant...

Therefore, he always wanted to get two leaves from Master Chengkong to see for himself.

"This method is naturally a last resort. The conventional method is to plant more mulberry trees in Hongshan." Zheng Fa said, "If they can be cultivated naturally, that would be even better."

After all, the spiritual energy in this Rainbow Mountain contains the symbol produced by the Fusang wood in his body... who knows... maybe he has mutated just like the pea.

To create Fusang wood is simply a shocking thing in the Xuanwei world.

He had to try whatever method he could...

…

Zheng Fa took the cubes produced by his own Shenxiao Golden Elixir and went into the laboratory with Tang Mudao.

The old man outside suddenly looked at Tang Lingwu with sympathy.

Tang Lingwu:?

"I read those immortal cultivation novels... the male protagonists are not only favored by fairies, but also tempted by witches." The old man said slowly, "What's worse, there are also female fairies who come to compete for his favor."

Tang Lingwu gradually pursed her lips.

"It's fine for humans and animals, but now Zheng Fa is going to have a baby with a tree. Your competitor is too big!"

“…”

Tang Lingwu frowned, wanting to cry but without the tears.

The old man patted Tang Lingwu on the shoulder, sighed, and showed great sympathy.
