"Space Glaze is the embodiment of the laws of space. In a world where the laws of space are broken, it is like the foundation and beams we use to build a house. Without it, even a small space like a storage bag cannot be formed. The space at that time actually still existed, but only a thin surface layer remained, which was as difficult to support as mud."
"We call it space quicksand. We can stand on the sand, but we can't build tall buildings on it. And space glass pieces are to solidify a piece of quicksand into stone."
Master Feixing used his scarce magic power to construct a phantom on the table. He simulated the process of building the cave heaven in the past, and talked about the production process of space glass pieces.
Unlike what Qingxuan had imagined, the spatial colored glass was surprisingly simple to make. Just like refining the most commonly used healing pills, adding several specific medicines, and then performing different processes according to the different grades of the pills.
For example, the most common first-grade elixir has a production process that is similar to various modern pills. It can be made in a pressure cooker, or even in a clay pot on the street.
Nowadays, the government has built many pharmaceutical factories that specialize in the production of elixirs. The most common of them are first-grade elixirs, which are produced using the factory's assembly line. Tens of thousands of elixirs can be produced every day. If there are sufficient raw materials, hundreds of thousands of elixirs can be produced every day.
The most difficult part for ordinary people is probably how to refine the medicinal properties, which requires a certain level of cultivation and understanding of cultivation, but at least it must reach the level of "literacy".
Second-grade elixirs are no longer classified as ordinary medicines. They require spiritual fire to refine and are mostly vitality elixirs that assist in spiritual practice.
Shenzhou also has related factories, but they require extremely complex magic arrays and a large number of alchemists to reach the level of producing several thousand pills per day.
In addition to being refined with spiritual fire, third-grade elixirs also have certain requirements for alchemists, so they cannot be mass-produced. The most famous of these is the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Space colored glass, a magical item that can greatly increase the solidity of space, is only as difficult to make as a third-grade elixir. In human society, it is roughly the level of a senior technician, and anyone who graduates from university can be competent.
This was based on the level of the human race at that time. In 1000 years, the number of cultivators in the Immortal Palace had reached 4 million, while the total number of humans was only 300 million. In other words, there was one cultivator for every 75 people, which was enough for the Immortal Palace to realize centralized production.
The Asgard era does have some modern elements.
Is it because the immortals were born in modern times, or is it because when civilization develops to a certain level, centralized production is an inevitable product? Just like the mortal dynasties, there was no department specializing in the production of salt and iron in ancient times, which was gradually formed later.
The most representative one is the Military Equipment Bureau, which was supported by the government and was specifically responsible for the production of various weapons. They were the earliest workers who were completely separated from farming activities.
The same is true for monks. When there are few people, it is impossible to do repetitive work, so most of them are small workshops. The most typical example is alchemists, who are basically individuals. In fact, there is a certain degree of centralized production in the sects that specialize in alchemy. The disciples who have just entered the sect will be arranged to refine some relatively simple pills together for large-scale sale.
For example, Yuanqi Pills, First-grade Healing Pills, Qi-boosting Pills, etc.
When the number of people reaches a certain level, centralized production is an inevitable trend.
Qingxuan thought so, and he was considering whether Shenzhou should also build related factories. Although they did not have millions of cultivators, nor did they have the so-called celestial beings, they did have billions of people.
Shenzhou is capable of nurturing millions of monks, or even more.
The world today is not as plagued by disasters as in previous lives, and development is going more smoothly.
Be prepared for a rainy day and mention this to the authorities in a few days.
Qing Xuan secretly took note of it, and then asked: "After the establishment of the cave, have the human race lived and worked in peace and contentment?"
"It is, but not entirely. Because we are still not separated from the world, we just have an extra protective shield." Master Feixing clasped his hands together, with the tips of his ten fingers touching each other.
"The external environment has not changed. The heaven and earth are still squeezing the cave heaven in various ways. You should know about the dam breach, right? When the water level does not exceed the river bank, even if there is only a thin layer of mud, the water will not overflow. But as long as there is a gap, the river water will rush in, constantly expanding the gap, and eventually tearing the entire dam apart."
"After the cave was established, the first problem we faced was this. The space of the entire world was like quicksand. Our area was solid, but it was like a dam bursting. The surrounding space would constantly surge in and corrode the space glass."
Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you solve it?"
"There is no solution, we can only keep repairing it." Master Feixing shook his head and said, "But later, more and more heavens were born in the human race, and the number of human cultivators continued to expand. Our repair speed soon exceeded the speed of the heaven and earth's corrosion, and we continued to expand outward."
That's why he said that they were living and working in peace and contentment. Dangers still existed, but the human race was growing stronger. And because the immortals kept coming up with various wonderful methods that could seize the fortune of heaven and earth, the upper and lower limits of the human cultivators were constantly rising.
By the time the Sun-Chasing Immortal Boat was manufactured, those who had built their foundation could only go to the cultivation academy to be teachers. This was because the City Management Department, which maintained law and order, only accepted elite cultivators. The best cultivators who had built their foundation would at least be direct disciples in the era of the sect. Similarly, industries like alchemy and refining only accepted those with superb skills.
When the number of people reaches a certain level, the monks will lose their own sacredness.
The status of monks is very high in today's era, but it may not be the case in the future. The most effective way for the Immortal Palace to eliminate the difference between immortals and mortals is to increase the number of monks. Small groups are very cohesive and hierarchical, while large groups are dispersed and inclusive.
