In the 6060th year of the Xia calendar,

Lin Jiang of Harbour City looked at the documents in his hand. There were some academic reports of Chinese geological experts in recent years. Lin Jiang asked people to organize them into easy-to-understand documents for him to read.

In recent years, Lin Jiang has invested a lot of money in them. With the blessing of various technologies, geology has made great progress.

According to the analysis of geological experts, there is indeed an inexplicable energy flowing deep underground or on the seabed, but this energy is still very weak. When it escapes into the air, it is almost useless.

But there are also data showing that this energy has been increasing in recent years, increasing at a rate of about 10% per year. The data is not very accurate, but generally speaking, it will not be much different.

"When the Great Dao disappeared, it took a hundred years from the combination of Dao to returning to the void. Later, it was somewhat accelerated. It took hundreds of years to completely disappear. I don’t know how long it will take for the spiritual energy to revive."

Lin Jiang looked at the analysis of the geological experts and combined with his own experience. Lin Jiang concluded that the Great Dao has awakened and the spiritual energy has revived, but this process is very slow. It may take hundreds of years, or even decades. Anyway, the spiritual energy will not revive in one day.

After closing the file, Lin Jiang rubbed his temples and felt a lot of pressure. For other people, the revival of spiritual energy may just be the return of the era of cultivating immortals, but for Lin Jiang, it is not that simple.

He hopes to use this revival of spiritual energy to give people around him the opportunity to become immortals. This is difficult, because Lin Jiang knows that it is the demon race that makes up for the heavenly way. At that time, the heavenly way may tilt towards the demon race. The human race will inevitably fight with the demon race for the opportunity to become immortals. He still has a big enemy.

"Make arrangements in advance. In the world of great contention, we must fight for a way to become immortals."

Lin Jiang made up his mind. Since he woke up hundreds of years in advance, he couldn't waste time. He must make arrangements in advance and make all preparations.

"Sir"

In the villa manor, Wu Jiang saluted Lin Jiang. There were thirty people standing behind him. Each of them was wearing a black robe and a mask, and no useful breath could be seen.

These thirty people are all martial saints. They are the direct forces accumulated by Lin Jiang for many years. If some indirect control is counted, there will be more.

They rarely show up, hiding in every corner of society, maybe a taxi driver, maybe a homeless person, and they will only be used when they are needed.

"Are all the people here?"

"Yes, they are the sir's direct subordinates, and their loyalty can be guaranteed."

"Okay, then I'll say it directly, I need eight people, and these eight people have to complete a long-term mission. You don't need to fight, and there will be no danger, but you have to disclose your identity and cooperate with various inspections and experiments. Okay, now start drawing lots, and those who are drawn will go to the next room and wait, and those who are not drawn will go their separate ways."

Lin Jiang said, and then took out a stack of lots for them to draw. The thirty people were silent, stepped forward to draw lots silently, and left after drawing, without a word of nonsense.

"Sir, what do you want them to do?"

"To do an experiment, didn't I tell you?"

"Will they not slice you up?"

"You are so stupid. It's modern society. Do I need to slice you up to get some biological information from you? Besides, why would I slice my own people? Wouldn't I just capture someone else? We are not the only martial saints in the world."

"That's true. I'm relieved."

Wu Jiang smiled. He just asked casually. Of course, he knew that they would not slice up their own people.

"Send the eight selected people to eight research centers. I have already explained it. They will know what to do."

Lin Jiang said. Lin Jiang has decided to use scientific methods to comprehensively study spiritual energy, and the eight of them are experimental subjects. They will study internal strength first.

Internal strength is the monkey version of spiritual energy. Theoretically, when a martial saint takes another step forward and enters the Dao through martial arts, it is the foundation-building stage. At that time, their internal strength is spiritual energy.

So studying internal strength is also studying spiritual energy. In fact, China has been studying internal strength, but it has not invested much in this area, so the progress is very slow.

This time, Lin Jiang raised the requirements, not only asking them to thoroughly study the source of internal energy, but also to study the application of internal energy.

For example, using internal energy as a driving force to drive something, this is for the future, when the flying boat of the Xiuxian era can be applied to the spacecraft.

And the mechas, if they use spiritual energy instead of nuclear power, they won't be afraid of being blown up by a single shot. Maybe the mechas can really be put into actual combat, etc.

The change of energy involves the whole world. Lin Jiang's ultimate goal is to combine technology with cultivation, rather than returning to the era of pure cultivation.

Lin Jiang treated the eight of them to a meal, and then improved their treatment, and promised to give benefits to their families, so that they can cooperate with the experiment with peace of mind.

In this regard, the eight of them would never worry that Lin Jiang would break his promise, because in the past two hundred years, Lin Jiang had never done so. Lin Jiang had many subordinates, some of whom did dirty work, and some of whom were white gloves.

It can be said that as long as they don't commit suicide and touch Lin Jiang's bottom line, they all live well and basically enjoy their old age. These people are also the masters or predecessors of these martial saints.

Like those Hollywood movies in Lin Jiang's memory, when the agent killers are old, the organization refuses to pay pensions, and the agent killers are killed, and then they are killed by the agent killers, they have never appeared in Lin Jiang.

It is precisely the reputation of these two hundred years that makes most of Lin Jiang's men extremely loyal. After all, who would not be loyal to a boss who has changed your fate, promoted you to a higher class, and allowed you to enjoy your old age and benefit your descendants?

Wu Jiang sent the eight people away, and when he came back, he brought a box to Lin Jiang and said, "Sir, this is a strange species brought back by the geological expedition team. Do you want to take a look?"

"Okay,"

Lin Jiang nodded. Wu Jiang opened the box, which contained two fish and some plants.

Lin Jiang stretched out his hand and probed on these things. He felt some demonic power and spiritual energy, but it was very weak, not much different from before. These demonic powers can make these fish demonized, but they cannot enter the rank, and they are still garbage.

"The research institute has backed up, right?"

"Of course it has, but not much. The main thing is still here."

"Well, let's do this in the future. In addition, send people to strengthen the force of the scientific expedition team. They will encounter many dangerous things in the future, and it will be difficult to cultivate talents."

"Okay, sir, then these things..."

"It's useless to me. I'll grill the fish tonight."

"Can this fish be eaten?"

"It won't poison you to death."

Lin Jiang laughed. What kind of demon fish is this? Wu Jiang is a martial saint. He won't burst if he doesn't eat the meat of a second-level demon beast.

That night, Lin Jiang grilled the fish and shared it with Wu Jiang and others. After Wu Jiang ate it, he felt the specialness of these fish, because he also sensed the energy inside and knew it was a good thing.

······

Time passed quickly for three years, and it came to the 6063rd year of the Xia calendar.

During these three years, Lin Jiang received more and more things with the mark of the immortal cultivation era, but generally speaking, it had no impact on the real society.

The effect of spiritual energy is still mainly in some uninhabited places, such as underground and the seabed. This degree of demonization is not enough for demon fish to affect people.

However, the vision they brought still made other countries aware of it, and more and more countries invested in research. They started the research from scratch, and Lin Jiang was one step ahead of them.

Lin Jiang's research center has a more comprehensive understanding of internal energy, because Lin Jiang invests more than 100 billion yuan every year.

All experts and professors admitted that if the energy of internal energy can be continuously enhanced, it can replace the current energy, but they don't know to what extent, because they lack the research foundation.

In terms of application, they have also made enough progress. For example, internal energy can support the energy consumption of a light bulb. That is, through complex transformation, internal energy can replace electricity and make the light bulb light up.

This achievement is naturally insignificant, but it is also cross-era. All of this is to lay the foundation for the future. When the spiritual energy recovers, they can be several eras faster than other countries.

"If the spiritual energy is revived, should we wake up a few immortal cultivators in advance

?" When Lin Jiang is bored, he will think about this question: should we wake up a few immortal cultivators in advance and let them adapt to modern society in advance? After all, modern society is very different from the era of immortal cultivation, especially their mentality, which needs to be changed. They must put away the mentality of viewing mortals as ants, otherwise the conflict between them and mortals will be very intense.
