Chapter 331 Magical Weapon Design, the Tao

Night in a nursing home.

Zheng Fa sat on a chair with a cup of tea in his hand.

The tea was the Forget-Me-Not Tea grown in the nursing home, which suited Zheng Fa’s mood at the moment.

Recently, under the threat of the Demon Ancestor from the Xuanwei Realm coming to the world, Zheng Fa actually felt quite stressed.

But he is now the master of the Nine Mountains Realm and the backbone of the Nine Mountains Sect. He can only bear this pressure alone and not show it to outsiders.

It is only in the nursing home that he can find some temporary comfort.

There is a fresh breeze and bright moon in the mountains, a starry sky above your head, and good teachers and friends around you.

His mood also relaxed unconsciously.

The old man was talking to Teacher Tian with his head tilted. Teacher Tian was amused and patted him gently.

Tang Lingwu lay on the chair, stretched out her hand, as if caressing the blowing wind.

Tang Mudao looked up at the sky, as if sighing.

Zheng Fa looked at him curiously.

"In fact, DNA is a miracle, and the universe is also a miracle." As if he had noticed Zheng Fa's gaze, Tang Mudao said, "In cosmology, there is a very controversial theory called fine-tuning cosmology."

“Fine-tuning cosmology?”

Hearing what he said, Old Man Bai and others also looked over.

"As you know, there are some constants in the universe that determine the structure and evolution of the universe, such as the gravitational constant, the electromagnetic force constant, the mass of the proton, and the ratio of dark matter and dark energy..."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly without saying anything, just listening to Professor Tang continue to explain.

"On the other hand, if these constants changed even a little bit, the universe would not be what it is now." Thinking of this, Tang Mudao turned around and looked at Zheng Fa.

"For example, if the gravitational constant is too large, all stars will collapse. If the gravitational constant is too small, the stars will scatter, and it will be impossible to form planets."

"If the electromagnetic force constant is large, chemical reactions will be very difficult, and complex molecules such as DNA cannot form at all."

"If it's too small, then that element can't be produced."

Tang Lingwu was very interested and asked softly, "What is the range?"

"If the electromagnetic force constant changes by more than 4 percent, the sun will explode immediately. And the proton mass must be accurate to 32 decimal places before any element other than hydrogen atoms can be produced in the universe."

After hearing this, the old man frowned and said, "The probability is too small."

Tang Mudao looked at the stars, not knowing what he was thinking. He just said, "We now know about 32 independent cosmological constants. If every cosmological constant is accidental and happens to be within this range..."

"Well, almost impossible."

Zheng Fa roughly understood what Tang Mudao was saying.

"Professor Tang, are you saying..."

Tang Mudao shook his head, his tone dazed: "There are roughly two explanations for this problem - the multiverse hypothesis and the intelligent design theory."

"The multiverse is easy to understand. The cosmological constant is indeed not fixed, but the number of universes is infinite, and we just happen to be in one of them."

Tang Lingwu understood: "It's just like there are almost infinite planets, but we just happen to be on a habitable planet?"

"That's about it."

"Intelligent design theory..." Tang Mudao paused for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "It is to think about whether our universe is designed?"

“…”

Zheng Fa understood why Tang Mudao said this - the correspondence between the five elements magic and reality, perhaps, is artificial? Is the similarity between DNA and wood element magic a deliberate design?

"If I were to say that I supported the multiverse hypothesis before... but now, there are immortals."

Everyone fell silent. They just looked up at the galaxy above their heads. The starry sky was silent, yet it contained thousands of words.

…

"So, we have probably figured out the five elements of spiritual materials." The old man shook his head, as if he wanted to put these unclear things behind him, and said, "Then what do you think about your life magic weapon?"

Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said slowly: "From the perspective of material, each spiritual material has its own characteristics. For example, the gold spiritual material is similar to metal and has the properties of toughness and sharpness. It is often the most suitable for making killing magic weapons."

This was what he concluded from Xiao Yuying's treasure trove.

"And I want to make something similar to a server magic weapon, the most important parts are actually three:"

“Information transmission.”

"store."

"calculate."

Everyone could understand this.

"For calculations, I can rely on the spiritual energy circuit. In the future, as my cultivation level improves, the spiritual energy circuit will become more perfect, and my calculation ability should also become stronger."

"Yes, didn't they design a lot of corresponding circuit diagrams for you before?"

The old man also remembered.

"Information transmission, I plan to use the communication talisman to achieve it."

The analysis of the communication talisman is the source of Zheng Fa's desire to transform into a server.

"It's just storage..." Zheng Fa said slowly, "I probably need to use spiritual materials."

"What spiritual material?"

The old man asked curiously.

"Jade!" Zheng Fa explained, "Many secret manuals of cultivating immortals are stored in jade tubes... This is because of the special properties of jade, a spiritual material."

"What qualities?"

"Jade is an earth element spiritual material, which is responsible for containing everything. It is very suitable for storing information."

Jade spiritual materials are relatively common in the Xuanwei world. Just as Zheng Fa said, the jade tube is an application of jade spiritual materials - this kind of spiritual material has a strong ability to store information, and it is perfect for use as a "hard drive" for a server.

After hearing what he said, everyone knew that he did have a plan.

"Server," the white old man fell back and muttered, "Can our research in the future also be stored on your magic weapon?"

“Who knows, maybe your thing will be able to store three thousand great ways in the future…”

At this point, the old man suddenly frowned and said, "Why do I feel like this thing sounds familiar?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what the old man had remembered.

"Three Thousand Great Daos, Jade..." The old man pondered for a while, then suddenly took out his cell phone, opened an online novel, and slapped his thigh, saying, "That's what I told you!"

"Um?"

"Isn't this thing of yours the Jade Book of Fortune?"

“…”

The old man looked at Zheng Fa with an expression that said, "I see through you."

Zheng Fa: ...This old man reads too many books! But he thought for a long time and said, "If there really is a magic weapon that can carry the three thousand great ways...then, why not?"

The old man was stunned, and suddenly realized that Zheng Fa really had great expectations for his own natal magic weapon.

Zheng Fa fell into his own thoughts. He did not dare to say that he understood what the Tao was. Just like he named the journal "Xiandao", all he could do was to use the wisdom of others to pursue the Tao.

After they chatted for a while, they went back to their rooms to practice.

But early the next morning, there was a knock on Zheng Fa's door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Tang Lingwu standing outside, looking at him with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Let's go out for a walk~"

Tang Lingwu didn't say anything, but took Zheng Fa's arm and walked out of the nursing home.

The three old men were watching the two young people in the yard, but they didn't come over to interfere. They just smiled as they watched them walk out of the nursing home.

Zheng Fa didn't know what Tang Lingwu was going to do. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse and took a taxi with Tang Lingwu.

As the car drove from Hongshan to the capital, Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu, but Tang Lingwu kept looking out the window, as if she was deliberately avoiding looking at Zheng Fa... mysteriously.

Seeing Tang Lingwu like this, Zheng Fa simply stopped asking and let her do whatever she wanted.

After getting off the car, he realized that they had arrived at a school.

Judging from the height of the students, this school should be an elementary school.

Tang Lingwu and Zheng Fa stood outside the school railing, seemingly waiting for something.

It was morning, and the bell for break rang. Groups of students poured out of the classroom, walked onto the playground, and stood in rows.

The music of radio gymnastics sounded.

Zheng Fa had some guesses in his mind, and sure enough... these students doing exercises were doing the same set of radio gymnastics that Jiushan Martial Arts School had compiled before.

Their movements were a little clumsy, but each of them was very serious.

Their uneven movements under the morning sun inexplicably gave Zheng Fa a feeling called hope.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I don't know what you are worried about..."

At this time, Tang Lingwu finally spoke.

Zheng Fa turned his head to look at her, and saw that she was also looking at the students with a smile on her face: "But whether it's radio gymnastics or Jiushan No. 1, you have done very well..."

After Tang Lingwu said this, she didn't say anything else. The two of them looked at the students in the playground side by side, their silence speaking louder than a thousand words.

…

Zheng Fa's good mood lasted for many days.

"Junior Brother Zheng, why do I feel like you've been smiling all day long?"

Senior Sister Yuan suddenly looked at Zheng Fa and asked curiously.

"Shouldn't I be laughing?"

"You a few days ago...tsk tsk."

"Don't you think I can't see that you're unhappy?"

Senior Sister Yuan said proudly.

"…I'm sure you can't tell, Senior Sister."

"Senior Sister Zhang said so!"

Senior Sister Yuan’s smile fell and she spoke honestly.

Tang Lingwu made Zheng Fa realize one thing - perhaps the Nine Mountains Realm would perish, but he also changed a lot of things. Whether it was radio gymnastics or Nine Mountains No. 1, they were both influencing the modern world.

That's why I'm so happy.

When the two of them talked about Senior Sister Zhang, they saw Senior Sister Zhang coming from outside the door and handed Zheng Fa a jade tube: "These are the jade spiritual materials commonly seen in the Xuanwei Realm."

"Some are common jade instruments."

"This," Senior Sister Zhang took out another jade tube and said, "I drew the spiritual energy circuit based on your drawings."

Zheng Fa got some corresponding circuit diagrams in modern times - much simpler than the previous ones. After all, he wanted to realize artificial intelligence before, but this time, for his life magic weapon, he only wanted to build a server...

It is a true technological downgrade.

Just upgrade slowly later.

Senior Sister Zhang sat down next to Zheng Fa and said uncertainly, "Are you really planning to make a life-saving magic weapon that has no offensive power and cannot protect you?"

"... Didn't Senior Sister already know about this?"

"It's a different time now. After all, the situation is different now."

Senior Sister Zhang said after a moment of silence.

Zheng Fa knew what she meant. Now that the Demon Ancestor was threatening outside, the value of killing and defensive magic weapons increased again.

but……

"Sister, this is where my path lies..." Zheng Fa said after a moment of silence, "The threat from the Demon Ancestor is not enough to make me change."

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head and stopped trying to persuade her. She said, "Mrs. Xuanhua has already made a few samples and is waiting for you to see them."

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang came to University Island.

There were several samples on the table in Mrs. Xuanhua's laboratory. When she saw Zheng Fa coming, she pointed at the samples with a hint of pride on her face.

"According to your naming method - this is prototype number one. The storage capacity is insufficient. I later discovered that it was a material problem. This kind of jade is not suitable for storing information."

"The problem with prototype No. 2 is that it is not easy to form an aura circuit, which means there is not enough aura."

"The problem with prototype No. 3 is that it is not easy to integrate with other spiritual materials..."

Zheng Fa nodded as he listened, feeling quite grateful in his heart - Madam Xuanhua definitely put her heart into it.

The drawings and concepts of this magical weapon of mine came from modern times, but its manufacturing was done by Madam Xuanhua and Senior Sister Zhang: Senior Sister Zhang was responsible for designing the spiritual energy circuit.

Mrs. Xuanhua is responsible for the actual manufacturing experiments.

"In the end, Prototype No. 4 is the most perfect one we have tested. The Soul-Enriching Jade performs well in terms of information storage, spiritual affinity, and integration with other spiritual materials..."

Madam Xuanhua waved her hand, not caring much about Zheng Fa's gratitude, but pointed at the last prototype.

Zheng Fa looked at the prototype No. 4. It was a magical instrument that looked like a jade tablet. It was obvious that the appearance of the prototype was rather sloppy... After all, it was just an experiment.

"The best thing about Soul-Enriching Jade is that it's cheap!"

Madam Xuanhua said again.

"I've seen your design. If you want your life treasure to work, it must be used in conjunction with your so-called... mobile phone?"

When she mentioned the word "cell phone", her expression was a little puzzled, as if she didn't quite understand why Zheng Fa chose such a strange name.

"It's just a random code name. It's not impossible to change it." Zheng Fa said a little embarrassedly.

Madam Xuanhua didn't care either, she just said: "Although this mobile phone is simpler than your natal spiritual treasure, it also requires a large amount of spiritual jade."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

It is not enough to have a server alone...

Mobile phones, or personal terminals, must be promoted.

Otherwise, the meaning of Zheng Fa's transformation into a server would be lost.

Even according to Venerable Tianhe, it is best not to cast the natal spiritual treasure with spiritual materials from the outside world - that is to say, Zheng Fa actually only needs to simulate the spiritual jade, rather than really needing the spiritual jade.

But the Yunling Jade is not unimportant - just as Madam Xuanhua said, this thing can be used to make a mobile phone.

The "mobile phone" in the Zheng-Fa plan is a terminal with relatively weak computing power but capable of receiving and sending messages.

In other words, Zhengfa is equivalent to a "cloud server", which can also reduce the cost of "mobile phone" and promote it better.

At this point, Madam Xuanhua suddenly sighed and said, "I never thought that you would be able to play with the communication talisman in such a fancy way..."

Zheng Fa smiled slightly and wanted to say something, but suddenly he shut up and waved his hand.

A communication talisman appeared in his hand.

Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but look at him, and then she heard Zheng Fa say with a smile: "News about Yan Wushuang."

"Um?"

"He followed his senior sister to Chen County..."

"It came pretty quickly."

Senior Sister Zhang also laughed.

Tianhe sent them so quickly, I’m afraid... it’s more urgent than they thought.

Hurry up...
