Chapter 376: The Immortal of Fire Stealing, One Finger Drops the Stars
Before Zhao Yi had time to click on the first video, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged woman walked in, saying, "You use a cell phone every day!"
This is his mother.
She walked over and glanced at Zhao Yi's phone screen with a look of disgust: "Looking for immortals? What the hell, you are going crazy. No matter how strong you are from martial arts training, go to the construction site outside and see if anyone has a bigger excavator?"
Zhao Yi listened to the rumbling sound coming from the construction site outside the community and looked at his fist again.
I have to admit... he doesn't seem to have the strength of an excavator.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - internal strength is very powerful, but... Sir, times have changed!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhao's mother said, "Practicing martial arts is not a dead end."
"mom?"
"Aren't there people on the Internet who carry heavy bags and climb stairs? They have a lot of fans."
“…”
"Oh yeah, the entertainment industry still needs a punching bag like you."
"Why can't I be a Kung Fu superstar..."
"Superstar? With your face, even if I were your mother, I wouldn't dare to say that."
Zhao's mother's words were ruthless and realistic. After all, learning martial arts in this era sounds great, but in reality it is not that useful - after all, firearms are respected, and the violence of martial arts is still not enough to break the rules of this world.
He also knew that if it was his mother, she would still want him to go back to school.
But he...always felt itchy in his heart.
Zhao Yi clicked the play button on the screen, and a narration sounded: "This universe has changed..."
"sun."
"Human."
“And the future.”
“Everything becomes strange and wonderful.”
"The reason for all this is..."
"There are immortals in this world!"
Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat, but his mother muttered, "What a weird thing!"
The picture lit up, and two large characters appeared in the center of the screen - "Abundant Harvest".
The next moment, a profile that was familiar to both of them appeared in the picture.
Even Zhao's mother, who had been somewhat disdainful before, shut her mouth and became more serious.
The person in the camera is Mr. Hou, walking on a mountain path.
Off camera, the host asked, "Mr. Hou, can you introduce your current identity?"
Mr. Hou grinned, his voice still hoarse: "I am now the person in charge of agricultural project research."
"Can you tell me what the specific project is?"
"To put it simply, we will use some special plants as mother plants and try to cultivate some high-yield crops through biotechnology."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but feel puzzled - this sounds very ordinary.
"What does this have to do with immortals?" he muttered.
"Isn't it normal for Ren Hou to be named a god in ancient times?"
Zhao's mother added.
After hearing this, Zhao Yi actually felt that it made some sense. Looking for immortals means looking for people like Mr. Hou, right?
He couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"The special plant I'm talking about..." Elder Hou's voice suddenly became fanatical, "It was researched by Dean Zheng. It's a magical medicine that can revive the dead and cure the bones, and a grain of millet can feed the immortals of the world."
Mom! Is there really a fairy? Zhao's mother also widened her eyes and moved her mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at Old Hou's face, she couldn't speak.
The camera followed Mr. Hou to an experimental field.
This is the newly opened spiritual field in Hongshan. It is much more spacious than the few acres of land previously owned by the nursing home, and it can grow more crops.
Although Mr. Hou had smiled at the camera before, his smile at this time was sincere and simple, and obviously contained a lot more heart.
He first took the camera crew to a rice field.
The rice in the rice field is much taller than the other rice plants. Mr. Hou gently picks up the plump rice ears as if he is picking up his lover's ponytail.
"This is the Jiushan No. 2 rice that President Zheng asked us to cultivate." He introduced it to everyone, "Jiushan No. 1 rice tastes good, is more beneficial to human health, and has a high yield, but it is very picky about the growing environment and its disease resistance is a little weak."
“Jiushan No. 2 was developed based on Jiushan No. 1 rice.”
"Its yield per mu has exceeded the world record, and the highest has even exceeded 4,000 kilograms."
"It has high nutritional value and tastes very good, sweet and comfortable in the mouth."
"Most importantly... this rice is already suitable for most soils and is highly resistant to diseases."
Zhao Yi felt a little confused when listening to it. After all, few students nowadays deliberately learn about the rice yield per mu.
His mother slapped her thigh and muttered, "I've heard of Jiushan No. 1! They say that thing is good to eat, but I can't get it!"
Zhao Yi nodded, thinking that with Mr. Hou's endorsement and after hearing what his mother said, this Jiushan No. 2 hybrid rice might be real.
Listening to Mr. Hou continue to introduce other crops, Zhao's mother suddenly said: "Looking at these, I feel relieved."
"mom?"
"I don't understand what you guys are talking about martial arts, and I don't know what society will be like in the future. But I know that as long as we have enough food to eat, there will be no chaos."
Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his mother didn't want him to drop out of school, and she probably had some unspoken concerns.
I couldn't help but look at Old Hou. Looking at the flowers and leaves that were rising and falling in the field, my restless heart suddenly calmed down.
He listened carefully and keenly discovered that Mr. Hou had been mentioning a person——
President Zheng.
When mentioning this name, Mr. Hou's tone was respectful, and even had a hint of gratitude.
"Mom, do you think this Dean Zheng is an immortal?"
"How would I know that?" Zhao's mother replied, "I don't know the immortal, but fortunately the country has made preparations..."
Zhao Yi nodded after hearing this.
From this film, we can see that the changes in the world do not seem to have brought any bad things for the time being, and have also provided the country with a lot more high-yield crops.
On the other hand, even if immortals really do exist, they would have probably already cooperated with the country.
Revealing it to the outside world now also shows the country’s own confidence.
Mother Zhao was still sighing: "What kind of immortal is this? He can make these things. I will burn incense for him every day in the future."
At this point, her tone lowered a little.
"If these things had existed before...your grandpa wouldn't have passed away so early."
Zhao Yi felt a pang in his heart. He actually didn't feel anything after watching this episode. After all, his family had lived a good life since he was born, and he had never experienced hunger.
But my mother was born in the countryside, and only later through her own hard work did she become a city dweller.
In fact, my mother never went hungry. She always had enough food to eat. The only difference was that the food was not abundant.
But the grandfather my mother talked about had a really hard life in his early years. He was reluctant to give up any food and always had to bring it back for his wife and children. He was in poor health and passed away in his early fifties.
At that time, my mother had just started a family, and the family had no money, so I had not had the chance to fulfill my filial duties.
"Your martial arts skills are related to this, right?"
Zhao Yi nodded.
This is quite obvious and we have discussed it in the group a long time ago. Everyone developed their inner strength after the sun changed its appearance that day.
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this meant that he had a talent for cultivating immortals?
Zhao Yi was thinking about all sorts of things and clicked on the next episode.
Suddenly, he keenly discovered a problem - the number of views of this video was increasing too fast! When he watched the first episode, the video seemed to have just been released, and it had just over 10,000 views.
Now he was ready to watch the second episode, and the numbers below were actually in the millions or tens of millions.
The title of the second episode is "Eternal Light".
The protagonist of this episode is not just one person.
It was Professor Wang and a group of nuclear physics experts.
Zhao Yi naturally didn't know him, but when he saw the title on the screen, he couldn't help but feel excited.
These people may not be as famous as Mr. Hou, but he has heard about their research fields in physics classes and can roughly understand them.
Soon, he knew that the protagonist of this episode was not Professor Wang and his group, but...
He looked at the simple golden elixir floating in the air on the screen, shining brightly, and slowly opened his mouth.
Professor Wang's passionate voice struck his confused head through the speaker of his mobile phone.
"Controlled nuclear fusion!" Professor Wang's tone could not help but become very high. "I can say that when this golden elixir appears..."
"The flame of human civilization will burn forever."
Zhao Yi pursed his lips and couldn't say anything for a moment.
"In mythology, there is a god called Prometheus," another professor sighed, "He stole fire from the gods and gave it to human civilization."
"President Zheng, from the path of cultivating immortals, stole this golden elixir..."
"Give us the future of civilization."
Zhao Yi put his phone on the bed, walked quickly around the room, and waved his fists. He felt that this was the only way to vent his excitement.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But Zhao's mother didn't quite understand. She understood very well how valuable those crops were.
But it was hard to understand what had happened. Seeing Zhao Yi going crazy, she naturally became more confused.
"What does this mean?"
"Mom, you just think like this. What kind of internal energy am I? What kind of warrior am I? In front of this thing..."
"Bullshit!"
"It's nothing!"
Zhao Yi was so excited that he cursed in front of his mother. After a while, he covered his mouth and whispered, "Mom, controlled nuclear fusion is..."
His mother listened for a long time, slapped her thigh, as if she understood, and said happily:
"So electricity is free, right?"
“…”
"So do you want more gas?"
“…”
"Mom, these are all trivial matters." Zhao Yi said helplessly, "Let me tell you this, with this."
"Unlimited energy means, first of all, less environmental pollution."
"Now that our country has this, we don't have to rely on others in this regard in the future!"
"With this thing, the world has truly elevated its level of civilization!"
"Even interstellar migration and exploration of the universe are conceivable!"
After listening to this, Zhao's mother nodded slowly: "With the great discovery of science and technology, we don't have to worry about anything anymore."
"right!"
"But isn't this movie about some immortal?"
Oh yes!
Zhao Yi was stunned and felt it was a bit strange.
Because this documentary is too scientific, he has completely forgotten what it is for.
But the title of the third episode made his heart skip a beat - Meeting the Fairy.
This episode begins with the door of the nursing home. The quaint main building seems to hide countless secrets.
The host of the documentary is still speaking in the voiceover:
"The cultivation of Jiushan No. 2 and the realization of controlled nuclear fusion are ultimately related to one person, an immortal."
"Today, we are fortunate to be able to visit him."
Zhao Yi couldn't help swallowing.
The camera moves inside, through the main building and into the backyard.
Zheng Fa appeared on the screen.
Seeing Zheng Fa's young face, modern attire, and gentle eyes, Zhao Yi couldn't help wondering:
Who is this?
The immortal's Taoist child? It doesn't seem like that...
Until the host called out, "President Zheng!"
He almost jumped up.
“Is this an immortal?”
He looked at Zhao's mother in disbelief.
Zhao's mother also shook her head: "No, it's not like that."
That's right! This guy looks like an ordinary college student.
Apart from being taller, with a whiter face and brighter eyes, he doesn't look anything special.
It doesn’t mean that an immortal must be an old man.
But at least, he has some immortal airs.
But... Zheng Fa faced the camera and smiled, as if he was greeting the person in front of the camera.
The host spoke again: "President Zheng, thank you for joining our program..."
It’s indeed him!
Can……
If it weren’t for the fact that Mr. Hou and so many nuclear physicists had appeared before in this documentary.
He could hardly hold back his curse at this moment.
Even if I hold back, I still have some doubts in my heart. Could it be...
He suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Is that the person in the sun him?"
Mother Zhao thought for a moment and said, "They look a bit similar in figure."
Zhao Yi's heart was filled with waves, and he saw the person on the screen suddenly raised his hand to stop the host from speaking.
Zheng Fa looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "I won't give up."
Such a big change in the sun will naturally not only affect the domestic situation.
I'm afraid that countries around the world are somewhat surprised and suspicious.
Zheng Fa knew that the entire Hongshan Mountain seemed to be spied on these days, and some of the spied on came from some strange people living at the foot of the mountain.
This is normal. As Zheng Fa becomes more and more confident, he finds that once someone is interested in collecting enough information, they can fully understand the specialness of Hongshan.
Some of the peeping comes from...the sky.
Nowadays, for the sake of experiments, Zheng Fa does not use the "Lingshan Method" all the time. The spiritual energy produced by the hibiscus wood in the air may be a species problem and does not seem to have much impact on modern equipment.
This results in Hongshan’s current anti-reconnaissance capabilities against satellites and other equipment being sometimes not that strong.
Just like now.
Before, he had only cast two spells to interfere with these satellites - relatively mild.
But this time, it seems that the other party has gone a little too far...
Zhao Yi only saw the person on the screen pointing to the sky, and whistling sounds came from the loudspeaker.
The camera suddenly lifted up and saw a streak of fire across the sky. A silver-white thing flew from the sky and landed gently and obediently in the yard of the nursing home, as skillfully as if it was returning to its own home.
Zhao Yi blinked, not understanding what was happening, but the documentary very deliberately...inserted a piece of news.
"At 3:45 pm today, one of the newest reconnaissance satellites of the Mountain Country suddenly malfunctioned and fell into a nature reserve in our country."
“No casualties are reported.”
"The cause of the accident is still unclear."
"We hereby call on all countries to maintain the space environment and reduce space debris..."
Unclear...
It's not clear at all!
You've already revealed your cards, okay? He paused the video, scrolled down, and found that the top comment on the video was: "Master, I bow to you!" To be honest, he also wanted to kneel down and worship the screen.
Isn't this thing a thousand times more powerful than an excavator? (End of this chapter)
